Happy weekend!
Today's look is a cosy and easy one.. I love little dresses that feel good & look good. I bought this from H&M and I love the colour and stripe design. My boots are from Primark and I can't express enough how long these have lasted and what great quality they are. This puts my trust back into Primark products as I was disappointed once before.

Oh.. and rather windy too!
When it's windy I immediately grab for my beanie or my bowler hat. I love making an outfit look a little juxtapose.
My outfit was completely styled based on the fact that I wanted to blog about my cute little beanie, I love stripes as I have expressed here. The blue cardigan has been sitting in my wardrobe for what seems like forever and I thought it would be nice to style old clothes (mainly due to lack of money). The sun decided to come out on Sunday & I love how winter outfits get a ray of sunshine glisten on the photograph, it almost makes you forget that it is winter.
What do you think of my beanie? Do you like them & what do you think about me starting a collection of cool cosy beanie hats? x

Can you believe that Christmas is literally upon us, I can't grasp how quickly this year has flown by. The winter has gone faster than usual which I am thankful for, as I am waiting around for Spring to start..
I do find it quite hard to dress for winter. I don't know why I do because I am from the UK which equals to endless rain and cold days; you would presume I am immune to this weather, but I'n not.
I do dream that one day I can live in a hotter country, I feel that's my calling & I also feel that's how I express my style in the way I wear clothes. I don't own many coats, I own more kimono's / light cardigans.
As you can see from my description of what I am wearing today, it's heavily dominant in Forever21. I know I've expressed how much I do love this brand before but I like to keep remind you all (sorry, so sorry). I really adore my white textured cardigan, it's easy to wear as it's light and it is a good colour to have o mix up styles.
What I am wearing:
Hidden Fashion Coat
New Look Jeans
Primark boots
H&M Shirt
A black coat is a wardrobe must-have when you are in need of a classic coat in the winter. I left it incredibly late to get a new coat, but the wait was worth it. I love wearing plain clothes, basics just have a raw elegance to them, like a blank canvas that doesn't need fancy frills. I reckon this is why it's great to shop for a coat that speaks volumes so you don't have to overdo your look in other areas.
Talking of basics, I think that H&M are my go-to place for great quality plain tops and jackets. The shirt I am wearing is from H&M and it's featured in a few of my outfit posts such as 'Mixing Prints' where basic tops come in handy! What do you think of basics? Are you more of a print lover or a basic beauty? x
What I wore:
Forever21 Jacket
Primark boots
H&M crop top
TopShop skirt
I wanted to restyle my bohemian jacket that I got from Forever21 as I feel it's such an awesome staple that I wish it was okay to wear it every single day.. I do love dressing with a dash of bohemian style do look more free & hippy-like.
I love crop tops, I do need to work on my stomach so I can wear them a lot next summer, this one is from H&M and they do loads of colours cheap. I kept the outfit simple so the jacket would speak more volume. Oh, and check out this super cool necklace, it's got a doughnut and a cake on it.. it's so cool, I've had it for years and decided to fit it in with this outfit - don't get too peckish looking at it!!
What I wore:
Forever21 shirt
Primark skirt
Hidden Fashion boots
H&M bowler hat
I decided to do a second style up of this skirt, to show I'm not all casual and laid back.. I went for a more comfy approach to this smart style, staying all monochrome (i think it's best for the skirt).
My favorite black shirt from Forever21 seems to work well with this skirt. As the skirt is very figure grabbing a loose touch mixes up the look in a nice way. Paired with my new black booties, I think I've done quite well to be a little smart - it's not my forte but it's a start, right?!
What I wore:
Hidden Fashion jacket
Primark flats
New Look jeans
TopShop vest
Bringing a little sunshine in my look today, wearing a floral TopShop vest that's bright and cheerful. The top broke apart the blue's in this outfit (saved the day) making it okay for me to wear my favorite blue jeans and a blue duster coat. I enjoy wearing long coats and blazers so I am definitely on the hunt for my next coat!
I can't express enough how much I adore shoes from Primark, you would think that being cheap the quality would be poor and they wouldn't last long - but they do.
Darling I'm a nightmare dressed as a daydream
What I wore:
Primark pencil skirt
Primark Boots
New Look jumper
A couple of months ago, when I was shopping for my holiday clothes I decided to see what Primark had to offer. While looking around I saw this printed monochrome pencil skirt and I thought 'I'd never wear that, but let's give it a try'.
I love to try out things that I don't usually wear, because I never wore skirts until I was about 19/20 and since my first ever skirt purchase I've began to have that attitude where I'm up for experimenting.
This skirt has been sitting in my wardrobe for a long time, I just didn't know what to do with it. I wanted to style it in my own style and keep it quite casual because I do dress very casual. I decided to wear it with boots to make the look more edgy and modern, plus I love my croc print Primark booties so so much..
Oh, and by the way - as it's christmas soon I thought I'd
add a little christmas spirit with this cute snow ball x
