Simplicity


Yellow Jumper~Miss Selfridge/Corduroy pinafore~Miss Selfridge/ Velvet heels~Topshop 

Hello Strangers,
So after a very long few months break I am finally back. I can't believe I haven't blogged since November, that is so ridiculous. But I needed a long old break to get my little life plan in order and now that I am finally where I want to be I am ready to put all my love and time back into my blog.
Green and yellow seem to be my absolute favourite colours when putting outfits together these days. I went a bit mad in the Miss Selfridge sale and ended up buying lots of items I had seen as full price and now had a few pennies knocked off. My favourite of all being this dark green, courduroy pinafore. I love the little pockets and the colour is just divine, if only it wasn't so snug on my hips.
I only realised a few days ago that I managed to reach 200 followers, thank you all for your continued support during my absence. I will be hosting a giveaway this weekend to show how much I appreciate your lovely comments and blogs.

Corduroy, Miniature House & Beret

Blouse~ Miss Selfridge
Pinafore~Primark
Shoes~Primark
Bag~Tiger
Hello beauties,
I am so excited for Halloween next week, any excuse to dress up and it be acceptable is ok in my books! I am unsure of what I will be doing as of yet, but I already have a few outfit ideas, including one which I have to wear for work on Wednesday. I was so excited that work is having a whole day of spooky dress up too!
My outfit above was quite a simple ensemble, mainly black & white with little hints of green. I love my Edwardian blouse, but never really wear it enough; I thought I would dust off its cobwebs and wear it this week. Primark has been great recently and I love this new corduroy dunaree pinafore. It looks good over any old thing and is fast becoming one of my favourite items this season.
My love of novelty bags continues with this little house and I am still on the look out for the perfect cat bag, so if anyone has any suggestions on where to purchase one I would love to know.

Hope you are all well, is anyone doing anything exciting for Halloween?

OOTD: Layers Of Velvet With Splashes Of Red







Headband~Crown and Glory/Lace blouse~Miss Selfridge/Velvet Skirt~ebay/Socks~Primark/Shoes~Topshop

Hello you lovely lot! The sun has finally been shining in London over the past few days and I have been trying to make the most of it, before it suddenly disappears again.I only have one more week and then all of my university work will have been completed and I can graduate. I can't wait, it seems I have been feeling stressed for so long now and I can't wait to relax in the warmth with some snacks and lovely company.
I spent the day with my sister, doing bits of work and watching re-runs of Veronica Mars (how had I not seen it before!). I wore my favourite hair accessory from Crown and Glory and my brand new blouse from Miss Selfridge. I have a love/hate relationship with midi skirts, as I am tall it often makes me feel like a giant, so I tend to shy away from the length.But seeing as the colour is so lovely and velvet is my absolute favourite, I thought why not and wore it regardless. 
I am a little bit in love with my new Topshop shoes, they seem to go with everything, especially sweet socks! They are really comfortable and I really like the little details and suede material. 
I have been buying quite a few bits recently, so I may do a haul post in the next week or so. A bit different to my average post, but I think it will be good to branch out.

LFW:Outfit And Shows





Turban~eBay/Black dress~Miss Selfridge/Peacock feather~Primark/Patent shoes~Topshop



Trying to look a bit professional before the show!





Hello my dears! As most of you know, this weekend was London Fashion Week and after putting it off last season, due to work, I decided this season I would give it a go. I was very lucky to attend two events, because of the magazine I write for. So I thought I would share with you my outfit and the different events I went to over the last few days. Sorry for the picture haul, there were just too many!

I will start off with my outfit, I wore my lovely new black sheer dress from Miss Selfridge. I had been lusting after it for ages and it had finally gone into the sale, so I grabbed it quickly.The only problem is it is completely see-through, so I had to buy a night dress from Primark to go underneath it, which worked out really well. So, yes I basically wore pajamas to fashion week! I teamed it with my eBay green turban and pinned a peacock feather to the side for something extra. My usual patent shoes were put onto my feet and I was good to go.

So, the show I went to was for fashion brand Love Mayka's A/W 2014 collection. It was on the 10th floor of an amazing hotel in central London and I got a really great front row seat. It was so exciting to see all the clothes flow past so quickly and so close. I won't ramble too much about it, I wrote a whole article about it here if you'd like to read a bit more.
The second event was an exhibition of Austrian designers collections. These clothes were so beautiful and impeccable I wanted to grab everything off the rails and run. But instead of acting like a mad woman, I just took some snaps and wrote up about it here.

People are often really worried about what to wear to any fashion week and to be honest I was a bit nervy at first. But I think if you love what you wear and your style, then there is no need to worry about what others think. You should always dress for yourself and embrace your personal style. I had a really lovely weekend and hope to see more shows next season.

Did anyone else get to go and what is your opinion on fashion week?
