Feeling Naughty-cal

What a funny old August we are having. One day its beautiful sunny, summer weather, the next its drab and dreary! With that in mind I thought I would put together an outfit that would suit either types of day.


I got this beautiful anchor skirt from Collectif  a while back but had struggled to do it up. With a recent little weight loss, it now fits a dream. I think I rely on elasticated waistbands too often and a zip up skirt was all a bit new for me! Although no longer being sold in this particular print, they do have some other amazing prints that I have my eye on, especially this one (Here) I just love how girly they make me feel and I can't resist doing the odd twirl. Plus they hide my lily white legs whist still keeping me cool when it's warm. This particular skirt is a light linen type material - hence the mood creasing. 
           So swishy!!

With the skirt, I chose a simple navy cardigan that I wrapped around myself and fastened with a safety pin. I wore this over a thin vest, I then tucked it all into the skirt and wore my Hell Bunny belt over the top to keep in place. The belts are great, not only cheap but come in an array of colours and are a good fit. They can be found here.

 Then if the weather warms up, simply take off the cardigan. VoilĂ !

My shoes and hair flower were from eBay some time ago. Try Etsy for some really cute hair flowers.

OOTD ft Simply Be Quilted PU mini

It feels like forever since I last blogged but I'm back! I've been a busy bee with family life, modelling jobs and a blogging event this month.

Today I thought I'd share an outfit post. Excuse me cold looking expression, I was freezing!

  
During January, I didn't really hit any sales for a big spending spree, rather picked up a few sale items here and there.
The top is from H&M, it features Run DMC in floral print, was a steal at only £5! It's an oversized style tee with bat wing short sleeves. The skirt is one of my faves from Simply be and can be found Here. It's a stretchy, pull on job that looks wet but is actually quilted Jersey. The cardigan is a jumble sale find, soft and thick and one of my 'go to' items in winter. My leggings are just basics from F+F and the White pumps are from New Look. My bag can be found on EBay Herexx

OOTD Winter Warmer

After having a dry spell of spendable pennies, I took myself off to Primark to get a few well needed, warmer pieces. 
As you may already know, I have a love/hate affair with skinny jeans. I love them, they hate me. In an ideal world, there would be a pair of jeans that would be a size 18 in the leg but a size 20 in the waist. But these sadly do not exist. 
Spying a pair of high waisted, acid wash skinnies, I was doubtful yet still hopeful that they might just work. And they kind of did! Slightly baggy behind the knees and bum but snug in the waist and leg, I snapped them up. 
Next on my list was a black cardigan. It had to be not too plain, long, preferably with pockets. Found it! It's the kind of 'throw it on' style, no buttons, fuzzy, warm, yet plain enough to work with anything. We're good to go!
