MADE IN CHELSEA

Jacket - AllSaints
Shirt - Zara
Jeans - Topshop
Trainers - Adidas
Bag - Ted Baker

Today the boyfriend and I thought we would try and fit in some exercise into our weekend routines, as too often we end up lounging on the sofa wondering where the time has gone. So we headed out on a stroll to Battersea park and something just came over us and we couldn't seem to stop walking, then before we knew it we had crossed the bridge and ended up in Chelsea. Chelsea has some of the most beautiful buildings and little alleyways I have ever seen. So with all this idyllic scenery around me I thought it would be perfect for shooting some blog photos.

The weather was actually quite mild so I could wonder around happily with my leather jacket on and not feel freezing, I also took my new over sized checkered shirt out for a spin, it's so cosy and you can sneakily hide extra layers underneath if you need a little bit of extra warmth.

Oh by the way if you ever happen to stumble into Chelsea like us, then head to Kings Road and the restaurant Polpo in the square does some of the best food I have tasted! Not to mention you get a nice view of the Saatchi gallery.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

SUNDAY BLUEZ

Jacket - Asos
Sweat - French Connection
Skirt - Asos
Necklace - Accessorize
Boots - Ella Cru

Another weekend over....how time flies when you want to keep having fun!

I received the skirt pictured above from my Ma and Pa for Christmas, as a new addition to my work wardrobe. I get a bit bored of wearing black everyday in the Offuce, even though it is my favourite colour and the most flattering, however, some colleagues are starting to think I am a bit of an emo, so I am making a conscious effort to add in a few splashes of colour.

Normally at work I would pair this skirt with a black sweatshirt to smarten it up, but for the weakened I thought I could add a casual touch with my trusty French Connection sweat. The perfect smart/cool ensemble.

Do any of you have an item of clothing you like to wear to work and out at the weekend?

PLAYING FESTIVAL DRESS UP

All clothing - Topshop
Cross Necklace - Italian Boutique

While Justin Timberlake did his thang this weekend at V Fest, I decided to pretend I was there by turning up 'cry me a river' (but not quite stalking a Britney lookalike) and dressing up in the only things in my wardrobe that I thought resembled a bit of a festival get up. Obviously, I would probably need to go more 'Hunter' than 'peep toe' if I was actually there, but considering I wasn't, *sigh*, I could indulge in such fashion luxuries as heels.

Did anyone head to 'V' this weekend? What were your fashion must haves?

OH HEY CROCHET

Where did the weekend go? I think I had one of those weekends where you plan so much into your days that the weekend is gone in the blink of on eye. Needless to say I am already counting down the days till I get to see my bed again next weekend.

However, in between the Shoreditch camper van partying and the sunny hours spent in Brighton, I did manage to take a few blog pictures. I picked up these floral beauties from Topshop, they are so comfy and lightweight that they are perfect for the summer heat. I then paired it with my crochet top because to be honest, who doesn't love crochet? Then to top it all off the piece de resistance, my bargain Primark heeled sandals. The perfect outfit for a chilled Sunday afternoon...

'Check' you out!

Grey Top - All Saints
Check Top - Cheap shop in Dubai but you can find similar in H&M
Leggings - Topshop
Heels - Bank
Necklace - Vintage

I have been counting down to the Easter weekend for I don't know how long, mainly so I can sleep but also because I made a promise to myself that I would start getting back into blogging. I find being back home it is so much easier to take photos, whereas in London there is always so many people on the street that I always get funny looks when I'm trying to take photos.

Any way, enough of my gibba gabba, here is my latest outfit post, my Mum and Dad are actually moving house so I have been wearing this checkered top all day whilst trying to clear out the garage. I guess I was trying to recreate the outfits you see in films when people are moving house, all I need now is the denim dungarees!

Also whilst clearing out my room I found these heels in the back of my wardrobe, unworn! I couldn't believe it, they are so comfortable as well, I will definitely be wearing them on on Sunday for some bank holiday antics :)

I hope you are all enjoying the lovely sunshine.

My Work Wardrobe

Tartan shirt - Zara
Black and white lettered shirt - H&M
Printed shirt - H&M
Velvet skirt - Topshop
Black skirt - Topshop
Blazer - H&M
Jumper - H&M
Black trousers - H&M
Polka dot trousers - Topshop
Boots - Urban Outfitters
Ballerina pumps - Hunters sale at John Lewis
Cross Necklace - Topshop
Gold Necklace - Topshop
Multi-chained Necklace - River Island

As most of you already know I joined the working population recently and one of the nice things about this was that I got to go shopping for a whole new work wardrobe, although some of the clothes above I did previously own because unfortunately I'm not raking in the money yet. So I thought that it might be interesting to do a post on my normal weekly work attire and I thought it would be useful to show you how you only need a few key pieces which you can then pair in various different ways.

Hence, in my working wardrobe I have 2 pairs of shoes, 2 skirts, 3 shirts, 2 pairs of trousers, 1 blazer and 1 jumper and all of which I can pair together and layer to create a different look each day of the week. I am especially fond of the tartan look at the moment!

Do any of you have a work wardrobe or are having to invest in one shortly?

New Online T-shirt Company - Aztekkers

Hello everyone,

So I want to introduce you all to a new brand called Aztekkers.

Aztekkers is a solely online tshirt company set up by my brother's friend Sam and his girlfriend Lucy. Their brand offers something different and quirky and their designs are definitely unlike anything I have seen before (and I mean that in a good way).

All of their designs are originally hand drawn by Lucy and later digitally printed onto tshirts/ sweatshirts for the ultimate personal finish. This brand gives you quality and quirkiness in a fun and new way, personally I love the designs, I have my eye on the owl design (pictured below).

So if you like something a bit different and edgy then you can check them out in the following places:

I hope you are all enjoying the sun, I am off out to the cinema tonight to watch 'The Conjuring', I think I will definitely be hiding behind my popcorn!

Asymmetrical

Hello everyone,

How are you all doing? I have had such a hectic week, the second I came back off holiday I had to move out of my old flat into my new one, which I have to say I love, it definitely feels more like a grown ups pad rather than a students. I was thinking I might upload some pics once I have done all the finishing touches so you can all see the place I call home :). Then once we had moved in the job hunting began and I have to say job hunting actually feels like a full time job!

But in the midst of all the chaos I never like to forget about my blog and all my lovely followers, so here is an outfit shoot I did whilst I was in Thailand. Unfortunately the day I decided to where this dress is decided to have a monsoon and we were stranded in the room for a few hours. I got this dress in the Urban Outfitter sale, I think it was £20, its so sleek and elegant but I thought I would add I slightly sporty twist with my converse.

What do you all think?

Dress - Urban Outfitters
Converse - Office

Necklace - Topshop

Bracelets - Assorted River Island and gifts.

I hope you are all having a great week so far and for all of your graduating right now congrats, mines next week and I'm still trying to figure out what to wear!
