OOTD - Cosy Winter Brights

Friday, 4 November 2011







I'm loving this skirt at the moment! You may have seen it here previously. It's a gorgeous colour and perfect for winter. My only gripe with the skirt is that it keeps riding up and 'bunching' :( #sigh

Today i teamed it with this bright paisley print gypsy style top which i got a couple of winters ago. Looks quite dressy without being too 'done' if you get me.

I picked up this snuggly waterfall cardigan in Asda yesterday in my lunch break. Yep, you heard right its by George @ Asda and comes in at a barginous £14! It came in loads of other colours too - tempted to pick up the camel coloured one next week.

A very good friend of mine popped up to say hello in my OOTD pics today, haha. I'd like you to meet Fredrick! I was having a right 'mare trying to take these shots - just couldn't get any that looked decent. Towards the end of the 'shoot' i got a bit fed up hence the silly shots, haha. Hope you dont mind :p

OOTD - Peacock Frenzy

Tuesday, 4 October 2011

Last week i went late night shopping at Bluewater in search of a pencil skirt for work in a jersey-type material.

I searched high and low for sucha thing but to no avail. I huffed and stomped my way to M&S to treat myself to a yummy meal-for-one and then BAM! i walked into a couple of amazing skirts :)

I picked up a 'Peacock Green' stretchy body-con skirt (not strictly pencil length but it is amaze!) and a black stretchy body-con skirt (more of a pencil length).

Today after a freak stint of hot weather it was finally cool enough to crack out the A/W wardrobe and style my gorgeous new skirt ...


I teamed the skirt with a silky white polka dot cami and a huge fuschia ring.


Skirt - Marks & Spencer - £15
Silky cami - eBay - £2!
Gemstone Ring - Dorothy Perkins - £3


I'm desperately seeking a fuschia coloured silky top/blouse - if you find any please send me links!

£1 OOTN

Monday, 1 August 2011

I was really struggling to find a new dress for a party last Friday night and had been searching all week and nothing took my fancy!

I then began the mammoth task of scouring my wardrobe for something suitable ... when i came across a black and gold woolen skirt that i had picked up in Primark about two years ago ... for just £1.

A flash of inspiration hit me and i hoisted the skirt up, chucked on a belt and voila! A new dress!! ha.




I love the finished look!

I teamed it with a zillion different necklaces, bracelets and a cute feather head band. Scruffed my hair up, did a quick smokey eye look and chucked on some biker boots and there we have it, a bargainous OOTN!!


Here's a little peek at the make up look i did and my scruffy hair - not quite as good as last weekend but better than flat, lifeless hair. I really want to sort out my clip-in extensions - really struggling to find some decent ones that match the tones of my hair :(

P.S. I didn't have my tripod with me and the bf wasn't being very cooperative and helping me out with the photos so i invented my own camera stand in his hallway ... special thanks goes to the drum and cardboard box i happened to find lying around, ha! Inventive, no?!

What's the best bargain you've ever found?
