Outfit of the day- Mom Jeans & Pink Stripes!

So I love the outfit that I'm wearing today and so I decided to share it with you! This is something that I might start doing on a regular basis as I personally love looking at what other people are wearing!

For today's outfit I paired my beloved pair of Toyshop mom jeans with my new pink and white striped tee from Laura Ashley (I picked a few bits up in the sale that I will soon be sharing with you!)

I love this outfit as it's so easy to throw on and so comfortable! I also think it's got a casual but cute feel to it which is perfect for a chilled weekend when you still want to look good.

I thought these baby pink patent loafers went perfectly with this outfit as they kept it casual whilst adding another girly touch of pink! You can find these In Primark for £10, what a bargain!

I have had these Mom jeans for a while now and I have noticed that I always seem to bring them out throughout Spring & Summer, I find them more stylish than skinny jeans and also a lot more comfy, especially as it gets hotter (you don't want tight trousers sticking to you!)

This little brown, pleated belt tied the outfit together perfectly and kept my jeans up too! I can't remember where I picked this up but you could find something like this in Primark.

When I put this outfit on I instantly felt like it was Spring- when it comes to Spring and Summer I love to bring loads of pastel colours into my wardrobe and I have definitely been loving all the pastel colours recently, this pastel/baby pink has to be my favourite over all!

I hope you liked seeing my outfit of the day for a chilled/casual, yet cute look! I will be sharing more of these on here so keep your eyes open for these posts.

I will also be sharing the other tops that I bought from Laura Ashley soon as I have been LOVING there clothes recently, I think they're so cute and girly and I want to share them with you guys!

I will see you soon with another blog post!

2017 Fashion Trends!

So one thing that I am pretty good at, not that it's ever going to be any use in an interview or to impress someone... is spotting upcoming/current fashion trends.

I have to admit, I spend A LOT of my lunch times in high street stores looking at or buying clothes and so I thought I would share the fashion trends that I think are upcoming in 2017!

1.  Embroidery

Take a quick walk through any high street clothes shop at the moment and one trend that you'll notice is everything has embroidery on it, from boots to jeans and jumpers- EVERYTHING is embroidered and I don't know how I feel about it! I personally think the embroidered Mom jeans are pretty cool however I don't think I'll be investing just yet!

I found this gorgeous baby pink embroiled jumper and I was gutted to find that it is out of stock! however you can find it in grey HERE

2. Frills

The next thing that I spotted again and again in several different shops is Frills! I think frills are really girly and feminine so I was quite pleased to see these on tops, jumpers and even skirts, wearing frills is a great way to bring something more bold into your outfit whilst maintaining an elegant touch.

I love this black pencil skirt with frill detailing, I think it's perfect to wear to work or a more dressy occasion- this would go well with a plain top or blouse and a jacket! Find it HERE on Newlook

3. Pleats

Personally, I'm quite happy about this trend as I love pleated skirts, I think they're elegant and girly and a great statement piece (perfect for valentines day paired with some heels! ) I haven't yet owned one and so I had to order this one from H&M , even better it's in the sale! Find it HERE

4. Stripes

Stripes seems to come back in year after year as it really is a classic, 'safe' look to go for! I personally love stripes, in particular black or navy as they seem to go with my blonde hair. I think that wearing stripes is a great way to make a statement with your outfit. I have been loving my striped, lace up jumper from Primark- Find it HERE for a bargain price of £10.

5. Pastels

I have started to notice the gorgeous pastel pinks, blues and yellows reappearing in the High street stores! I have always loved pastel colours: the subtlety and 'girliness' of them just appeals to me. When i was wondering around Toyshop I couldn't resist this cute pastel pink and striped raincoat, yes it may be slightly overpriced- but look how gorgeous it is! Find it HERE.

I hope you enjoy reading about what I think the trends of 2017 currently are. what do you think is currently trending within the fashion world? 

I will be back soon with another post!

Sweet for Summer!

Hey! I am in a super good mood which seems like such a rarity at the moment (unless I'm with Chad) cute I know haha, Anyway I thought I would share with you a new favourite Summer drink of mine, It's so easy there aren't really any instructions for it as such however it is YUMMY so I have a few pictures and just a general chat really.

The main ingredient in this smoothie/drink is watermeloneee which I hadn't had in so long before I requested that mum picked one up in Tesco's and only now have I realised it is such a perfect ingredient for a refreshing summer smoothie.

This is a quarter of a watermelon, I have worked out that a quarter makes the perfect amount for one person so I used a quarter..

I also added blueberries, raspberries and some natural Greek yoghurt for a thicker consistency and more flavours, you can add whatever you feel like but this is definitely my favourite combination!

For me there's not much better than fresh summer fruit!

I used my Nutribullet to combine everything and make the actual smoothie but any blender type thing is okay!

I couldn't resist but take this photograph, I'm sorry.. the smoothie was actually a pretty pink for once rather than green or brown (avoid the spinach if you want pretty colours)

Tan credits to Bondi Sands Gradual Tanning Milk! I loved my outfit for work today so I made my brother suffer and take pictures of his annoying sister..

How cute are these flats? Despite giving me blisters I love these shoes, they literally go with every dress I own as well.

Ready for a scary close up.. Me and my smoothie, oh dear, thought I'd share it anyway!

This smoothie is so refreshing and sweet whilst remaining flavoursome and very healthy! What's not to like? I even got my brother drinking this drink and he would normally run if I offer him one of my smoothies (The spinach idea puts him off)

Morgan made me do this, but PLEASE can we just appreciate this curly fry, I couldn't eat them because of my allergy but it's for sure the best one I've seen..haha

I hope everyone has a really nice Summer and I will be posting regular blogs for you, maybe even some videos when I go to Holland and Majorca, but we'll see!

Heather Fields and Fresh Fruit!

Last weekend me, Mum and Morgan ventured down to Market Drayton to visit my Granddads house, unfortunately we only get to see him a few times a year due to the fact that he is so far away and has a very busy schedule (alongside his wife) Whenever we go we have a nice time, normally involving some time outdoors and a chance for me to do some photography, not forgetting some amazing food! (I've been learning)

The first day we firstly went out in the little old car for a ride, it's become our little tradition, we always nearly get wiped out about 3 times as well; this car doesn't exceed 35/40 mph, which can be very scary when pulling out of a busy junction...

Me and Morgan then went outside to do some fruit picking. Living amongst the madness of everyday life full of gadgets and social media, being asked to do something so simple but satisfying was a simple pleasure. Living up to the fact that we are competitive, we held our own 'competition' of who could find the biggest strawberry, of course Granddad had to find the biggest haha.

It was so nice to get outside and do something that I don't normally do, the strawberries were so tasty as well!

We also picked some Raspberries, I have to admit more may have been going in my mouth than the bowl, I really just love Raspberries!

I personally think there's something so therapeutic about being around nature, that sounds so cliche but I honestly think that sometimes some old fashioned fresh air can make you feel 100 times better than being stuck inside.

The next day we went on a walk through heather fields and wild flowers, I really enjoyed being outside, unfortunately the weather let us down and we got soaked but it was worth it!

I had such a nice time and I really did appreciate being outside and doing photography whilst being surrounded by natural beauty!

That's all for today's post, I will be letting you know how I am getting on at my new job soon!

Pretty for Prom!

It's so crazy that prom has come and gone so quickly and now for me my school life is over, especially since I'm on holiday for results day, apparently they can text you your results, that doesn't sound right to me, let me know if you know? Despite already posting the majority of my prom pictures on social media I thought I would put them on here for you and tell you a little more about the evening as a whole!

So firstly the day before my prom I got my nails done at Exquisite nails in town, I love my nails and I'm so happy that I get to leave them on for my apprenticeship!

I then got my makeup done by my old boss Shelley at Beauty and Beyond, I had airbase makeup done and I was so pleased with it, it also stayed on perfectly all night! I would 100% recommend airbase makeup for a special occasion.

You can also see my lovely prom hair in this photo which was done by Philippa at my present job, One hair and beauty, I found this look very elegant and flattering, again it stayed put perfectly all night and it made me look like I had thicker hair, which was great!

On my previous post I said I was going to be using Bondi Sands' daily gradual tanning milk in preparation for prom, I used this for about 5 days prior to prom, I exfoliated first using their tanning mitt and after a few days I definitely noticed a different, it is so easy to apply and I got asked several times if I had had a spray tan for prom! One mistake I made was not wearing gloves to apply the tan and although I washed them thoroughly I ended up having fairly orange hands for prom haha! So I would definitely recommend this gradual tan!

Overall prom was a lovely evening and It was so nice to see everyone dressed up, except from having Melon as a starter, which I thought was quite random, the food was nice too!

I am so pleased that I found some beautiful flats as some of my friends were hobbling round towards the end of the night and I was super comfortable!

I am so in love with my dress and it is so comfortable, I got it from Sugar and Spice in Lincoln and I would definitely recommend the dresses from there as we received great service and a beautiful dress!

Summer Shopping!

On Thursday it was my favourite day, PAY DAY! Pay day means one thing: shopping! Me and Chad went to town so that I could buy a few bits mainly because I am starting my new apprenticeship soon and I wanted some nice, smart things to wear (that's my excuse) So I thought I would show you what I brought, unfortunately I had no one to photograph me trying the outfits on, so I had to settle for taking pictures of the purchases instead!

Firstly I took a trip to Primark to see if I could pick up any bargains, I straight away saw a few bits that I liked and went straight to the changing rooms.

The first thing I got was this stripy bodysuit, I LOVE bodysuits as they are so easy to wear (except when going to the toilet) and I find them super comfortable. I particularly liked this one as it has cut out shoulders.

I also picked up these really cute pink, lace up flats. I think these are perfect for summer and will be great for styling with dresses and skirts.

Finally I got this easy to wear, simple mint green dress, this looks so much better on and It is so comfortable too, I really like the fact that it comes with a belt as it draws it in at your waist making it a lot more flattering.

The next shop I went to was Topshop, Unfortunately I didn't pick anything up in the sale however I finally brought an a line black denim skirt, although it was quite pricey at £30 I think it will be really easy to wear to work and something that I can pair with pretty much anything!

From Newlook I got a few bits, I needed a new pair of heels and I knew I had to buy this pair, they are so comfy and as they are nude they will go with lots of outfits! They're almost like a sandal style heel which I think are great for Summer.

This next purchase was a bargain in the sale, It caught my eye last minute and I had to get it. I was pretty stupid taking this picture in front of my white wardrobe as you can't see it very well but I think it will dress up any outfit!

After searching for a new little bag for work I found the cutest little, black rucksack and it fitted, which was impressive as for some reason all the other rucksacks looked too big on me, I debated whether to buy it because I wasn't really meant to spend all my money and after putting it back Chad brought it for me, which was so lovely of him. I love it!

Today when I finished work I was greeted with a delivery, my Bondi Sands gradual tan and exfoliating mitt that I ordered. I am going to use this before prom so I will let you know how I get on with it!

That's everything I brought, I will leave the links to everything (except Primark products) down below, I hope you are all having a nice weekend!

Sweetheart Style!

With Valentines day shortly approaching i thought i would put together and share with you a super cute but classy outfit, suitable for a meal out or even a nice meal in! including my gorgeous new off the shoulder body suit from Boohoo which i absolutely adore, it is so pretty!

 I'm sorry about the photo- quality of the stripes on the skirt, it's just the effect the flash has on it! I think this Striped Midi skirt from Primark goes perfectly with the white body as it am loving monochrome recently and the fitted skirt contrasts the flowy top beautifully and is very figure flattering!

Personally i think wearing an open back top or dress is so sophisticated and classy, i love how this top sits on my shoulders and it is also so comfortable! The great thing about body suits is you don't have to worry about them creasing up as they stay put perfectly and it's like wearing a leotard! This is my second one in my wardrobe now- Definitely favourites for this season!

I paired this outfit with these simple, black, chunky, open toed heels that i picked up from Office last year, they are so comfortable and i think they go perfectly with this outfit- dressing it up! Definitely a pair of go to heels!

I think this look can be pulled of my most people as it is simplistic and very, very flattering!

I love this outfit and think it would be great for Valentines day or just a more formal occasion!

I hope you enjoyed this look and have a great week!
