Pink Culottes and Pinstripes

"Anything is possible with sunshine and a little pink!"

High waisted, super wide legs, soft fabric with a lil' bit of stretch and bright pink! How perfect can a pair of trousers get??

OOTD : Shirred Tops and Pleated Culottes

Its so summery here! And guess what?!? I've finished university! Three years down, none to go! 

I went back home for the weekend, to kind of have a bit of a celebration as my final fashion show was a bit of a disaster (it was the morning after the manchester terrorist attack, a bit of a sad day for manchester, and it was almost cancelled, but did go ahead, but my university was then evacuated straight after the show anyway!) But while I was there, the weather was amazing! Unfortunately I've got back to manchester and although its warm, its certainly not sunny! 

OOTD : Simple

Hello! I've been super busy recently as I'm coming up to the end of my final year of university! (Only 3 weeks and lots of sewing to go!!) But heres a very simple OOTD that I wore a the weekend. And don't miss me too much, after I finish uni, I promise to blog A LOT more! I already have quite a few posts in the making! 

It's been really quite warm recently so everything is looking nice and sunny! Yey! 

OOTD : 70s Striped Jumpsuit

Hello! Happy Spring! As the weather has been heating up, I decided to put together this outfit to show how you can wear colour if you're so used to wearing black like me! I wore this one day just for a walk in the park and I really like it! It's not something I'm used to wearing, its quite a different shape, style and colour to what I'd usually go for but anyway, here it is...

OOTD : Pinstripe Playsuits and Chunky Trainers

Its snowy!! Here's what I am wearing today, although theres snow on the ground, its actually surprisingly not that cold!

OOTD : Princess Hats and Leather Skirts

Hello! Just a little OOTD for you! Its really cold here at the moment and I am loving mixing textures. Here I have dresses a fringed leather skirt with winter knit wear and floral embroidery. I have then also added a rhinestone beanie to keep my ears warm! 

OOTD : Sparkly and Satin

Party season is still here, although unfortunately, here in the UK, its pretty cold! Here is an outfit I've put together which I think is perfect for any special events or occasions that is coming up while it's still chilly outside. 

Sparkles, metallics, satins and sequins are all in right now, and the trend is really easy to pull off! I've put together these blue wide leg satin trousers and a shimmery black and silver bodysuit. As the outfit sparkles, its perfect for an event or special occasion, but it also looks quite dressy, so could even be worn to a winter wedding, christening or even a works do! Its a perfect outfit for anything really! 

The back of this bodysuit has really pretty cross strap detailing and the fabric its made of is stretchy but quite stiff, meaning it can keep everything in place without the need for any unusual backless, strapless, sideless underwear!

The whole outfit is from Missguided and is still available to buy now, even with the massive 75%  January sale still on! The trousers come in a few different colours so if you're not into blue, how about the lovely blush coloured pair?

Or Pink? 

Black Cross Back Glitter Bodysuit - £22

P.S. Like my new pastel pink hair? Let me know in the comments below if you'd like to see a review on how I dyed my hair this colour! 

OOTD : Wide Legged Knit Jumpsuit

Hello! Quick little post showing you my outfit today! 

I love this jumpsuit and have worn it multiple times since getting it just last week! Its so comfy with it being a loose-fitting, fine stretch knit! It's like wearing pyjamas but still looking dressed! Its from Zara and was only £19.99! 

I think this jumpsuit is perfect for autumn going into winter as it can be worn over a plain top or jumper, or even over a white shirt. In the spring I think it would also look nice over a sheer lacey t-shirt or even just over a lace bralet.

I also wore this suedette biker jacket as its starting to get chilly now its autumn, and some patent loafers with a coloured sole.

These shoes are from Zara and I have found that mine are a bit too big, so I would suggest  trying the size smaller than you would usually wear. Or if you can't do that or are ordering online, you can use some insoles, as I did. 

LOL at my eyes being closed!!

Jumpsuit - Zara - £19.99

Jacket - H&M - £29.99

White top - Primark -£2.50

Loafers - Zara - £25

Unfortunately, I find that items in Zara sell out extremely fast! If you see something in Zara, get to there and then because next week, it won't be there! Therefore I couldn't find the jumpsuit online anymore, however there could be some still in stores. If not, I have found an almost identical one here, at Pretty Little Thing. 

Zara do have some similar ones of their own though! Theres a cropped version and also a long sleeved version here too. 

OOTD : Bardot Tops and Cheeky Jeans

Here's what I have been wearing today! Its pretty sunny here in Manchester at the moment so I wanted to wear something summery and cool, but this outfit could easily be worn to transition into the autumn months.

Bardot tops are everywhere at the moment and are a really easy piece to wear as they are super simple but also can look quite dressy. This pretty one is from Boohoo and it a very soft, lightweight cotton fabric. I have it in white with black spots but you can also get it in the reverse. Click here to buy. 

Boohoo have an amazing range of Bardot tops in at the moment and there are all around the £8-12 mark, so they are very affordable. Click here to see the range.

With this top I am also wearing these amazing jeans from Missguided. They aren't for everyone but I love them. They are mom-style jeans in a nice washed medium blue shade. They have rips in one leg, and more importantly, just below each bum cheek! I think these jeans are very cool and show just the right amount of skin off! 

Unfortunately these aren't in stock right now, but check back here and I'll update when they are. In the mean time, check out Missguided's Riot Style jeans here, they have a few other ripped jeans in this style, and you could always put the rips in the back yourself. 

See my DIY ripped jeans post here!

I finished this look with some flatform striped sandals from Primark, and a plain 

black bag and grey sunnies too.

OOTD - Sun, Moon and Stars

Hello! Here's my attempt at trying to look summery, while still sticking to my "always wear black" theme! I do love this outfit though, and I hope you do too!

This dress is from Motel Rocks, and I loooovvvveee it! I really like the sun, moon and stars  pattern in general, but on this dress I love it even more. Its a short body con with an almost 90s style halter top!

I also wore the kimono from my last blog post (told you I never take it off!) Aswell as these striped platform sandals and some lilac sunglasses! 

These sandals are by far my most favourite sandals I have ever bought. They were £14 from primark and are really surprisingly comfortable! They are black and white striped and have a 2 inch platform to give a bit of extra height while staying flat and comfy! 

And the sunglasses are from Topshop! They have lilac flames and blue sides and are a mixture between cat eye shaped and that classic wayfarer style! 

I also wore a bright pink lip to try to add a slight more pop of colour!

Fuerteventura OOTD

I'm back from my holiday! Its taken ages to get this up, but after coming back from Fuerteventura, I went straight on holiday again, this time with family. 

Heres just a little outfit of the night, which I wore on a night time when we went climbing about on some rocks and then for dinner! 

I wore this amazing kaftan (which I haven't taken off since!) from New Look. Its actually from the kids section! No one ever really looks in the kids section, but a lot of things will actually fit adult sizes! This kaftan is a bit too big for me and its only a size M, so a large will probably fit anywhere up to an adult size 14 I would say! Keep a look out in the kids sections of stores now and again, you can often find really funky pieces, and they are always a lot cheaper than adults clothing! 

I also wore a simple grey crop top from Topshop ages ago and these pretty lace trimmed shorts from MissPap. This style of shorts are very in at the moment and this website is one of the cheapest place that I have found them, so I recommend looking through their site! They have loads of different patterns and trims and things, so have a look before you go on your hols!

Kaftan - £9.99 - New Look Kids (sold out)

Crop Top - £6 - Topshop (sold out)

Shorts - £15.99 - MissPap (click here)

P.S. the hospital looking band thing is the hotel band! 

OOTD - Pastels and Chunky Boots

Hello!! Recently, I visited a fashion exhibition at Bowes Museum. The exhibition showed fashion made with feathers and included pieces from Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Prada and Gucci.It was a really windy and quite cold day, but I wanted to show off my new boots (and rest of the outfit!)

As you can see from the photos it was really windy! So in most of my photos I am laughing at my hair getting in the way of my face whilst the photos were being took! 

I wore my favourite slumpy, oversized pink coat from Primark. I have mentioned this in a few of my other OOTD posts, but it is just so comfy and warm! And it adds a pop of colur into my otherwise black and white outfits! I also wore a fluffy white cropped jumper and high waisted jeans from Topshop and these amazing chunky boots from Missguided.

These boots are surprisingly comfortable considering they are really high. The platform is  4.5cm and the heel is 10.5cm, meaning that the height of the show is actually 6cm, which is a pretty wearable height for everyday use. They are also very lightweight as the soles are made from a thick foam type material rather than rubber, like other chunky boots, meaning they aren't giving you a workout as you wander about! They are also in the sale! Bonus points!!!

Anyway - Enjoy!

Jumpsuit - Missguided - £20

OOTD - Alexander Wang and Daisy Jeans

I'M BACK! This time I definitely am too! Its been like a month since the last time I blogged as I'v just been really busy (and a bit lazy) but I'm here and I'll stick properly to blogging as often as I can! 

Here's what I wore today, its been surprisingly warm (well not warm but not freezing!!) for it being January in England, so I took the opportunity to wear my favourite jeans ever! 

With the jeans, I also wore my Alaxander Wang for H&M crop top. I loved all of his collection and managed to get my hands on a dress, a sports crop top and this top. 

Obviously if I was to go outside, I'd put on a coat. I wore my oversized pink one from Primark. Unfortunately I haven't got a picture with that as I wore it to go into university, but I'm pretty sure you'll have seen the one I mean. Everyone and their mam has this coat!

OOTD - featuring Boohoo Izzy Velvet Boots *

Hello! How are you all doing? 

Recently, I received the 'Izzy' boot from Boohoo! They are a bright red, velvet chelsea boot and look amazing with an all black outfit. Here's how I wore them!

What I'm Wearing :

Joni Jeans - £36 - Topshop

Sheer Jumper - £19.99 - Missguided

Handmade Velvet Triangle Bra - £7 - @emmmma on Depop 

Izzy Boots - £17 - Boohoo *

As usual, click the item of clothing to buy!

These boots are so comfy, and with them being velvet, they are really warm and cosy, which is perfect for the autumn weather. Although the other material is velvet, they are lined with a thin faux leather which means your feet won't get wet if it rains or you step in a puddle! 

They are elasticated at both sides so are super easy to pull on, and they are very comfortable for everyday wear as they have a 3.5" heel with a 1" platform. They are also cleated which is very in at the moment, but also mean they are very grippy so are suitable to wear for when it gets icy!   

I found that they look the best with a monochrome or all black outfit as they are very bright. However, if you're brave, they could be worn with a navy dress possibly, or even lots of bright colours for a super arty feel! Team your all black outfit with some bright red lips and these boots and you're good to go! 

These red boots are on sale at the moment for only £17, and once they are gone, they won't be restocked. Find them on the Boohoo website here! 

These boots also come in Royal Blue, Black and Taupe. (all £30)

     

Also check out the rest of Boohoo's new A/W boots on their site! There are some amazing pieces! I have my eye on the Zina, Sophia and the Ellen boots ;) 

And for next day delivery on these items, use the promo code swift and get them in time for the weekend for only £1.99 rather than £4.99!

Also, check out @emmmma on Depop! She makes the most gorgeous pieces of underwear by hand and they fit perfectly! I love her stuff so much! 

Thanks again to Emily for taking my photos!
