FASHION: How To Wear UGGS

Monday, 19 October 2015

I am not a winter person. As well as just hating the cold because, well, its cold, it also makes all the metal in my back go really stiff and its usually quite painful so in the winter, any thoughts of dressing to look nice go out of the window in aid of keeping my back warm as warm as I can.

I can spend whole winters wearing jeans, a jumper and a pair of trainers. Now I love a big knitted jumper but it gets to a point when I get sick of wearing the same shape clothes in different colours for 5 months at a time (we are in the UK after all) so its nice when I come across a piece that I could could wear, without my back getting too cold, that I actually think looks nice as well! I picked up this jumper at the end of winter last year so I havent really had a chance to wear it yet and as for the shoes, you might be surprised to hear that these are my first pair of UGGS (I live in Essex). I wasn't a huge fan of the original long, chestnut coloured ones but I think these little black ones are really cute and a much better colour for me.

Granted, this outfit wouldn't be perfect for a day out in the elements on Oxford Street but it would be fine for a winters day at say Lakeside (the uggs would fit right in), or the cinema or the sort of things people like to do indoors when its just too cold.

FASHION: Glow Light Up Shoes

Wednesday, 4 March 2015

Oh look at me, I've found myself another outfit that doesn't involve black jeans and this time I've gone a step further that light blue denim - they're white!

I used to love wearing white jeans when I was younger, actually in my scene kid days, I used to wear every colour jeans you could imagine - white, grey, hot pink, green, orange, red so I don't really know how I got into this black jean obsession really.
 
They have a slit at the knees like my new black ones and I got them from F&F at Tesco - definitely one of my favourite places for clothes that I actually need. I'm still not 100% confident with lighter jeans but I quite like this look. I got my jumper a while ago from UCLA at Get The Label, they stock loads of cool brands with huge discounts, sometimes up to 75% off! I think it actually came from the mens section but I love a big branded jumper and it was perfect.

Now for a mention of my amaaazing new shoes. I wasn't too sure when I ordered them, if they were going to be like tacky kids shoes but when they arrived I loved them! The lights are much more impressive that kids shoes, especially in the dark so I had to include a photo for you at the bottom. Apart from the lights, I actually really like them just as casual shoes! Silver was the perfect finishing touch for this light outfit and the blue matches well. They have three different settings so you can just have them on or flashing or whatever.

FASHION: Timberlands and Ripped Jeans

Thursday, 19 February 2015

When I was 12, my best friend got a pair of Timberlands, they were baby blue which was totally cool at the time, not so cool now haha she always had the latest trend. I was 12, ten years ago (whoa) and Timberlands are back (not the baby blue ones thankfully), isn't it weird how fashion comes and goes and then comes back again! I think they started to get popular again after we saw Fleur Easts' sister wear them on the X Factor, since then, I see them everywhere, especially on a train on the way into London.

I didn't get my pair of Timberlands until this time round and I'm looking forward to trying all the different ways to style them. They are something completely new for me, I'm not used to a not black shoe but I've established that they look good with black jeans so hopefully it won't be too hard! I am really looking forward to wearing them through this season as I think as well as a fashion piece, they are quite practical in the winter with the cold and the snow. 

The best thing is that when they go out of fashion, I can put them at the back of my wardrobe and after a few more years they'll be back again.

FASHION: White Stuff At Bluewater

Thursday, 11 December 2014

Last week, The lovely ladies at White Stuff invited me along to Bluewater to celebrate their new shop opening!

The shop itself was lovely - rather that just a normal shop front it was themed on a Georgian house with big white pillars and brickwork outside. The theme carried on inside with the most lovely looking staircase covered in tinsel for the festive season! 
Now on to the clothes! I could tell straight away that they were all great quality. All the jumpers were so soft and everything was very well made! I loved that they had expensive cashmere jumpers in bright pink and green haha. Plus lots of dresses, shoes and jewellery! One of the looks is called Gypsy Caravan and all the clothes were the prettiest greens, blues and purples! Upstairs they had a loungewear section which I fell in love with - Fairisle lounge pants in the thickest cosy material and a pyjama set that consisted of shorts, a vest top and a kimono!!
 At the end of my visit the girls let me pick something from the store and sent me home with a little goodie bag! I had to go back to the beginning and pick one of the snuggly jumpers! As well as loving the design, I knew that I was going to get much looaadsss of wear out of a new jumper, although I was just browsing though the site and spotted these boots which I didn't see in store and have now fallen in love with as well ahah

FASHION: Knitwear Wants

Wednesday, 12 November 2014

Ok so now its really getting cold and its a time of year that I find reaally hard to dress for. Basically I dont care what it looks like as long as I'm warm and usually that means thick knitted jumpers. So its probably about time that I get myself some nice ones so I don't have to think about it - just out of bed, jumper, jeans and I'm ready to go.

1 - Esprit - £29.99 
Love the V neck on this one and lots of room for more layers underneath and its a little bit glittery!

2 - Boohoo - £15.00 
Perfect thick knit, Great price and It comes in 13 colours - I want them all.

3 - Topshop - £42.00 
I love velvet and I love the design. This is so nice.

4 - ASDA - £14.00 
How cute is this for a christmas jumper! Not tacky at all - I love Christmas jumpers.

5 - Matalan - £10.00
Isn't this the coolest jumper ever, from matalan would you believe and only £10?!

6 - New Look - £28.00 
I love anything black and white, I love the huge contrast between the two!

7 - Jane Norman - £35
Ahh finally I've found a longer one. I love to wear things like this as a dress with long boots!

FASHION: Clothes I Simply Can’t Live Without

Tuesday, 1 April 2014


If you read my blog you will probably know the one item of clothing that I cannot live with out! my super, super cheap, actually black, not faded, go with everything skinny jeans from Primark. They just look great with almost every other piece of clothing in my wardrobe, they are super comfortable and I just love a skinny fit jean!

I have been wearing Primark skinnies for ages and every few months I'll go out and by a new pair because they fade and thy are so cheap it's not an issue to just go and get a few new pairs. My last installment was just after Christmas. I went to my new local store and picked up a couple of new pair, this time I sized down because they have been a little loose later, so I found two perfect size 6s marked up at £5 which is £3 less than usual, I was happy enough with that, but when I got the to till, the lady scanned them though and they'd been discounted even more, I ended up paying £2 a pair. Bargain of the century for the amount that I wear them haha

FASHION: McCains & Primark Jumper For Joy

Tuesday, 25 March 2014

This might be the very first time alot of you will see me with my glasses on, and one of the last, I don't wear them out very often but I was just feeling it today you know?

I'm sure you've seen this jumper on TV and in the Metro (which is where I first spotted it.) I wanted one straight away, they are so funny and for £12 they really aren't too bad, plus you can pick one up in Primark - not to mention the 50P off chips voucher you get with it!! Could it get any better?! Well, they are made in Britain, just like McCain Chips haha
   
I remember when I was younger, every weekend my parents would go out to dinner and my grandparents would come around to baby sit, we would watch blind date and eat McCain's, microwave chips (and microwave pizzas I seem to remember?!) I loved Saturday nights haha 
  
Styling this jumper as always is with one of my 9 pairs of my Primark skinny jeans - total bargains and my much loved everyday classic converse!
