Mellow Yellow

Mustard Jeans- Primark, Purple heels- Primark, navy cardigan- Primark (Mens), stripy t-shirt- River Island

Here's a little something I threw on today. Apols for the messy hair btw, really need to get the mop washed ;) I got these jeans from Primark and I love them. I've been wanting to get involved with the coloured jean trend for a while and have quite an obsession with the colour mustard at the moment- so I couldn't not get them & at £14 they are a bargain.

I teamed the jeans with my new heels from Primark too. Love the colour & think the purple and mustard go well together.

I chose to wear the jeans with the navy cardigan and stripy top to give it quite a preppy feel. I felt that this outfit was something very similar to what Fearne Cotton may wear too, who is a style icon of mine and she certainly knows how to rock the coloured jean.

Wish List

All outfits- Primark Autumn/Winter 2011 (courtesy of PR Shots)

Just wanted to share with you three of my favourite outfits from the new Primark collection. They will all start coming into stores from August onwards and I definitely want both pairs of shoes featured above. Love how they look with the socks too.

Favourite items above are the cream argyle knit jumper, the gorgeous small satchel bag and the mustard pussy bow blouse. Pussy bows are set to be BIG news next season & so is the colour mustard- meaning two trends in one ;)

Primark...Here I Come!!

Let the leaves fall

Jumper- H&M, Tribal harems- H&M

So, with the excitement with the new collections for the Autumn/Winter 2011 season here are my attempts at styling an outfit I'll be wearing once the leaves begin to fall from the trees.

Trends I am excited for include the 'Power of the Jumper' as proclaimed in Elle Magazine, hence my jumper in this post. I am a massive fan of jumpers and love a quirky knit, so I will definitely be indulging in this trend. Also really glad to see that prints are going to be big news- think tribal, animal print and polka dots all mixed together with a burst of colour. 

Other big news for next season is the Heritage trend (which is a trend I love- I'm thinking a mustard chunky knit, white shirt and bow tie & some tweed trousers), Masculine dressing (Girl meets Boy) and the Native trend (think colour, craft and interesting prints)

I really like this outfit & the trousers are great. You can team them with a plain vest, or balance them out with stripes and then team with a quirky jumper for the new season.

Necklace- H&M, Rings- turquoise (as previous post), flower ring- Vintage (bought at Vintage Fair in Windsor)

Can you tell H&M is my favourite high street store at the moment? So many great clothes.

Summer Nights

Grey leather jacket- Warehouse, white vest- Primark, tan belt- Dorothy Perkins, skirt- Primark

Here's a little outfit that I think would be perfect for Summer Nights...think BBQs in the Sun, cocktails and warm, light evenings.

The skirt is a recent purchase from Primark and I really like the blue and creamy colours, set off with the landscape print at the bottom.

I've teamed the skirt with my 'leather' jacket from Warehouse to toughen this look up.

Nude heels- Primark

I realise that it's another outfit, with another skirt! I do own other items of clothing honest ;) A post with trousers will be coming soon I promise hahaha!

Been very busy recently with work and last weekend my Mum & Dad came to visit me, which was great. Hence the lack of posts :(...but that's enough of the excuses!!

Getting very excited about the new Autumn/Winter season now! I mean I really do love Summer but there's always that sense of anticipation when it comes to A/W if you ask me & I love planning out how I can incorporate the new looks. Already on my shopping list is a bowtie, having seen some amazing ones in the new ASOS collection...and I am SO glad that the new season seems to embracing the power of the Jumper! A-MAZING!

Housewarming Times

Here is the outfit I chose to wear for my Housewarming party. It's a Midi again!!! I think I am a little obsessed, but nevermind. I found this lovely Champagne pleated number in River Island & I love it. Very elegant and could be worn a number of ways. 

My feather necklace is a H&M find and I layered this with my turquoise necklace that I got the other week.

Hope you had a great weekend!!...Why do they go so fast?!!

Anoraks R Us

Last Weekend I went to the Lake District for a little holibob. Had a lovely time, despite the general sogginess due to the rain and thought I'd share some photos with you! We took a boat trip from Ambleside to Bowness on Windermere and it was very nautical. For the trip I wore my chinos rolled up, a striped breton tee and tan loafers...all complete with my vintage Barbour.

Loafers...Primark

There was a definite fashion trend on show in the Lakes...& that was the trusty ANORAK!! Literally everyone was sporting them. Think North Face meets Fashion Week. 

I went with my boyfriend and it was my present to him for his birthday. We headed out for something to eat & funnily enough straight after this I went back to change my clothes as it seems people sport the ANORAK 24/7. So, to start off with there was me walking down the street 'dressed up' in a grey leather jacket, black vest & a floaty midi skirt...all teamed with heels.  Let's just say I didn't quite 'fit in'...

I also picked up some lovely bits for my new flat while I was there :)

Thank you all for the lovely comments too, it means so much that people are enjoying my Blog :)

Midi Mood

So, here's my other midi skirt. Quite different to my pleated one & I like the gypsy/boho feel this one has. I haven't actually worn it out the house yet (oops) but have a few ideas of what to wear with it now. I got this floral midi from Topshop when I visited Edinburgh way back in February. I have worn it with quite an old t-shirt of mine, from a very budget shop called Dunnes (I've only actually ever seen one of these shops in Leeds, but sure there must be more!) and thought it toughened the skirt up somewhat.

I've now moved into my new flat, and after a few small fiascos (not getting hot water!!) I'm starting to feel settled. But I have been such a busy bee, hence the lack of blogging. Also just got back from a weekend in the Lake District which I'm going to do a blog post about this week.
