It's My House And I Think It's Time I Got Out

Jacket - H&M,    Crop Top - Miss Selfridge,     Jeans - Topshop,    Shoes - Vans,    Bag - Ted baker

Hello! I am back with another outfit post finally! I recently bought some new clothes and have been loving them so thought I'd share on here! A couple of weeks ago I visited Manchester and ended up going to the Trafford Centre (which if you're not familiar with is such a massive, cool shopping centre in Manchester in the UK). As always I couldn't leave a big shopping trip without visiting a shoe shop and getting some new Vans haha!

As you can see here I bought some black classic slip-ons, which I've had my eye on for a while. I can't stop wearing them with my new Topshop Joni Jeans (one of my favourite skinny jeans around) which are ripped at the knee. Both items are so comfortable and great for everyday wear! 

A couple of days ago I also spontaneously bought a new jacket from H&M. I don't often buy stuff from H&M as I find it a bit hit and miss but I've had my eye on some shoes which are sold out in my size everywhere :( Anyway so this jacket caught my attention and I had to try it on to put my mind at rest and then I just had to have it! Although, I should probably tone it down with the jacket and shoe shopping as I have quite a collection growing haha!

In more exciting news my 21st birthday is approaching!!! I can't quite believe it to be honest, it's come round so fast. I have a party planned soon with friends and family so I'm looking forward to celebrating in style... with a few drinks of course ;)

 Hope you enjoyed my quick little outfit update! I'm off to repeatedly listen to the band 'PVRIS' as I've just found them on YouTube and now I can't stop listening haha

Wow, so it's been a while since I last blogged! Not quite sure what happened there haha I'm hoping to try and get back into it though! Since my last post I had an amazing holiday to Florida in September and also had a lovely Christmas and New Year with friends and family. I'm kind of glad 2014 is over though and love the feeling of a new start which a new year brings, so I'm looking forward to seeing what 2015 holds! I also have a pretty big birthday this year as I'm turning 21, which is a scary thought!

Anyway so I'm now off to meet up with my best friend Fay and heading to our new favourite restaurant Gourmet Burger Kitchen later, it's so yummy! Before I went though I thought I would share a quick few outfits which I've been loving recently! Hopefully be back soon with some more updated outfit posts :)

When We Were Younger We Thought Everyone Was On Our Side

Daisy dress - Missguided,         Sunglasses - Topshop,          Satchel bag - River Island,            Trainers - Vans

Today was a lovely day in England and I decided to go meet Fay on her break at work as she would have been on her own otherwise! We bought a Subway and headed to the park to sit in the sunshine and chill out! Afterwards we popped into a couple of shops and then I quickly took some outfit pictures as I am loving this new dress from Missguided!

So last night I started looking at clothes online and this never ends well as I normally end up finding something I like, which is not good for my bank balance! I always forget about looking on Missguided but this time I did and ended up finding some lovely dresses which included this one. I'm really into skater dresses and this one immediately caught my eye!

If you spent over a certain amount you got free next day delivery but I wasn't actually expecting it to come today as I ordered it quite late so it was a nice surprise to find out it did turn up this morning! This was a perfect opportunity to whip out my new coral Vans as well :) I really love the neckline on this dress as well as I don't own many v neck style items and this one isn't too revealing either haha I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality, it's not a thin flimsy bit of material, so definitely worth the money!

Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather in England at the moment! It's beautiful but no doubt will be back to raining soon aha

When I Met You In The Summer

Dress - Boohoo.com,     Belt - Forever 21,      Trainers - Vans,       Satchel bag - River Island,       Sunglasses - Topshop 

After a wild saturday night out clubbing for Shane's birthday, and still feeling it Sunday, it was nice to wake up on Monday to some lovely weather! I didn't get up as early as planned, as you can imagine I didn't get much sleep over the weekend haha 

However once I had arisen, Fay text me to say that it was lovely weather and she was outside in her garden blogging so I thought I'd join her! I've never worn this dress from Boohoo before as it's a little big but with a belt around it I thought it looked quite nice! I love the colours and patterns in it, so may have to wear this more often! The sunny weather also gave me a chance to test out my new Topshop sunglasses which I love <3

The nice weather lasted until the evening where it then started to rain! Typical British weather for you! Although it was still rather warm so the dress was still appropriate haha 

I'm now getting ready to hit up the gym with Fay so thought I would put this up before I went as Fay wants to watch Harry Potter afterwards :P

But Your Ghost, The Ghost Of You It Keeps Me Awake

 Denim Jacket - Topshop,   Palm Tree Top - New Look,    Blue Joni Jeans - Topshop,   Trainers - Vans,       Bag - River Island

(Me not looking to impressed as the wind was messing up my hair haha)

On the 5th of June it was my best friend Shane's birthday! He finally turned the big 20 and joined Fay and I in the non - teenager club haha bit of a scary thought knowing you're no longer a teenager :(

We didn't know what to get Shane for his birthday present and he didn't have any ideas in mind so Fay mentioned to me about booking him a massage, as he has been going on for absolutely ages about wanting one! I thought it was a great idea so we booked him into a place recommended by someone we knew and kept it a surprise from him! 

On the day of his birthday we picked him up and whisked him off to the spa/salon. The drive there Shane started getting a bit nervous to the point of feeling sick, especially when he found out he'd be on his own! Luckily once he arrived and found out what we'd planned for him he calmed down and enjoyed it! Fay and I decided to walk round the town while he was getting it done looking for some photo opportunities for our blogs!

After just over an hour, in the middle of searching for places to photograph in, Shane text to say he was done so we met up with him and we all had some lunch in a local Italian! Afterwards we carried on our search for a nice place for a photo opportunity and spotted a lovely bridge overlooking a river!

Even though it was quite warm this day and I probably didn't need a jacket, I ended up wearing my favourite denim jacket from Topshop in a light blue colour! I teamed this with my dark blue Joni Jeans from Topshop and my orange palm tree vest top from New Look. As always I had my old faithful Vans trainers on and my new River Island satchel bag. I was in a bit of a rush when I got changed but I think my outfit turned out okay in the end! :)

Here's a picture of the birthday boy and I! 

Finally to end I also picked up some new sunglasses whilst we were out as I desperately needed a new pair as my original pair were years old! I find it difficult finding sunglasses in the right shape which suit my face but luckily I found this lovely pair in Topshop! They are a black tortoise shell style and the lenses have a slight purple look to them, I love them!

A Sky Full Of Stars

 Black Skull Top - Urban Outfitters,    Pink Joni Jeans - Topshop,    Trainers - Vans,    Bag - River Island

So this new outfit post is featuring a new pair of classic Vans trainers with a galaxy print, which I recently bought, and I absolutely love them <3 On Sunday it was lovely weather so I visited the local town with my best friends for some lunch and a drink and thought it was a perfect opportunity to wear them!

I teamed the new shoes with my (also new) Topshop Joni jeans in a lovely pink/coral colour! I then found my black skull top from urban outfitters which went perfectly with the whole outfit! Of course I also took my new River Island satchel bag as I am also loving it too haha

We found some really cool new places to take pictures this time! This is a lovely little town and as it was a nice day we thought we'd go for a walk and along the way we came across a lot of great places for photo opportunities! 

This outfit is probably a favourite of mine at the moment as I love the colour of the Joni jeans and I get a bit fed up wearing the same coloured trousers all the time so it's nice to add a bit of colour to my life when I wear these jeans!

Hope you enjoyed!

For Crying Out Loud, Settle Down

Leather Jacket - Miss Selfridge,  Jumper - Billabong,  Joni Jeans - Topshop, Trainers - Vans,  Bag - River Island

Another outfit post! This one is also featuring a few items I recently bought with my birthday money :) 

Went for the wonderful Joni Jeans in a dark blue colour as I already have the black and paired them off with my new coral/pink coloured Vans! Loving these new Vans shoes as I've wanted a pair of the slip ons for a while and was originally going to go for black but I saw these in the shop and they immediately caught my eye! Seeing as I already own a lot of black shoes I thought I would get a different colour for once haha

I then fished out my cream Billabong jumper which I bought in Florida when I visited there last year! It's so soft, lightweight and comfortable! Seeing as I live in the UK, one weekend it's warm and sunny, the next it's cold and rainy so my Miss Selfridge leather jacket was perfect for this day as it was a bit drizzly and cold! 

Finally my new River Island bag which I absolutely love! I am a massive fan of the satchel bags and when I saw it I instantly liked it! The colour, the style and size was perfect for me so I had to get it, would have been silly of me not to ;) 

Hope you liked this outfit post! Got more coming soon :)

Keep Your Hopes Up High and Your Head Down Low

Denim Jacket - Miss Selfridge,  Checkered Crop Top - Topshop, Black Joni Jeans - Topshop, Trainers - Vans, Bag - Accessorize

So today my best friends and I decided to head into town and have a Costa as it was a lovely day :) At the moment I am absolutely loving this outfit which consists of my black Joni Jeans and a denim jacket! As always I like to top off my outfit with a pair of trusty vans haha!

My girl crush and style icon at the moment is Jenna McDougall who is the lead singer of a band called Tonight Alive, if I could look like her and have her style then that would be great!! So I'm hoping this outfit looks Jenna McDougall-ish haha

This was a very impromptu photoshoot as we were walking down these cute lanes in the town near us and decided it was a good back drop for some outfit photos! So here's my outfit! Hope you like, as I keep saying I need to do more soon!

You Are Surrounding All My Surroundings

Top - Vans, Joni Jeans - Topshop, High heels - Tesco

Denim Jacket + Joni Jeans - Topshop, Striped Vest + Wedges - New Look,

So here's my first outfit post!

I received these black Topshop Joni Jeans as a birthday gift from my best friends and it's safe to say I'm loving them!

They are very flattering for the figure and are extremely comfortable as they are quite stretchy. They have also so far actually stayed skinny! Can't stand it when you buy skinny jeans and then after a day of wearing them or even a couple of hours they turn all saggy! 

I believe they were around £38?? but don't hold me to that aha which for Topshop I thought wasn't too bad!

Anyway, this was just a quick outfit post to get things started but I want to start putting some more up soon!
