Jumper: H&M | Jeans: Topshop | Clutch: Topshop

Just a quick post to show some love for this new purchase. I've been trying to stock up on the odd jumper here and there and couldn't resist this one during my latest trip to H&M.

Also apologies about the shadowy photo here, but with working full time I'm forced to take photos with no natural daylight. The major downside to winter I guess.

Black Magic

Coat: Topshop | T-Shirt: H&M | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: Topshop

OK, first of all I am aware that I am wearing sunglasses inside in these photos, but I was in a bit of a rush to go out and the bags under my eyes were so horrific that I really didn't want to have to subject you to them. 

So I've been on a hunt for a new coat recently and despite my substantial collection, I didn't actually own a plain black everyday coat. I'd spied a few in Zara that I was deliberating but then I found this beauty in Topshop. Sure it's pretty plain...but that's exactly what I wanted. Something that I could easily throw on rather than having to plan an outfit around.

And I know this seems like a bit of a Topshop heavy post today but they just had sooooo many amazing pieces in that I couldn't resist. I particularly love these zip pocket jeans which I think work really well with the chelsea boots. 

I finally feel ready to take on A/W '14!

Top: Topshop | Skirt: Zara | Shoes: ASOS | Bag: Celine | Bracelet: Tiffany & Co

Last week was definitely an eventful one for me, as I finally started my new job...which I love! I really feel like life is now getting back on track and I can resume all of the wedding planning which has seriously taken a back seat of late. (Trying not to have a mini panic about that right now though).

But this weekend, was a time to focus on another wedding and for me what I would actually wear. I have to confess I'm not very good when it comes to these sort of events. I always seem to have a bit of a melt down about my outfit a week before and rush out to buy a backup. And this was no exception. 

After I purchased a pencil skirt from ASOS last month, I began to think of all the things that could go wrong. Would it split down the back when I tried to sit down? (it was quite tight!), would my Spanx show through? Would I actually be able to walk or would I have to waddle like a penguin? 

In the end I decided that I should branch out and try the A line midi, so I set off for my old favourite Zara where I picked up this white cut out skirt for a bargain £12.99! Paired with my mules I thought this skirt was perfect and I have to say I think I'm converted.

This week I also rewarded myself with a lovely new DSLR camera. So this should hopefully mean that better photos will soon follow on here...just as soon as I work out what on earth I'm doing!

The White Stripes

Top: Next | Trousers: Zara | Shoes: Topshop | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Sunglasses: Chanel

I'm seriously loving these Zara slacks at the moment. These were actually a sale buy from last winter but with the temperatures now on the rise they're light enough to keep me cool when I'm out despite the black.

I've teamed them with this striped tee that I bought in Next a few months ago which usually isn't a shop I would ever go in, but after seeing this through the window as I was passing it made me pop in. For only £16 it's a great quality staple piece that I'm sure will get tones of wear.

Also, excuse the hair in these photos. I've still got a few more bleaching sessions before it's finished!

Today I'm Wearing: Monochrome

Leather Jacket: Whistles

Crop top: ASOS

Trousers: Zara

Slides: Zara

Bag: H&M

Sunglasses: H&M

A quick outfit of the day post from last week before I went to cut off all my hair. I'll post the new "do" soon, although I did have a bit of trouble when I left the hairdressers and some parts started to turn green! *note to self - never use toner. All has been rectified now though thankfully.

During the warm weather a couple of weeks ago I invested in a new selection of crop tops from the wonderful ASOS for a bargain £8. However, as soon as they were delivered the sun left and the clouds arrived. Typical!

So out came the trusty leather jacket. I bought it in a Whistles sale last year and it has quickly become my most loved item without a doubt. The leather just gets softer with age and I can throw it over the top of anything - a lifesaver with our fluctuating British weather!

Today I'm Wearing...

 Zara striped knit dress

Zara slides

Primark mini backpack

Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses

The sun is out and it's finally stopped raining, which means I can finally wear these lovely slides I picked up in Zara last week! 

These are the third pair of slides that I've purchased in the past month and are definitely my favourite. They're so easy to wear and I especially like the laid back vibe they bring to this outfit. 

I actually picked up this striped knitted dress in Zara last month for a Christening which I wore with a pair of black courts and a clutch. I'm a sucker for anything with stripes.  As someone who wears a LOT of black and white, it means I can mix and match with ease. It's such a versatile piece too which you can dress up or down, so it's a bargain at £39.99.

I also love this mini backpack which I got at Primark for Parklife at the weekend. It managed to fit a surprising amount in for its size so could be a good option for those looking for something to carry those  festival essentials. I think it was only £8 and they also do a cute little brown version too.

Kimono Cover Up

I'm loving kimono's at the moment. They're just the perfect item to throw on when the sun comes out. I found this H&M number last week for a bargain £9.99 and just loved the blue print…perfect for when you need to add a pop of colour to a neutral outfit. 

Now the rain has gone I'm also really excited that I can wear my new Birksenstocks that I got in TK Maxx for £25. I'd definitely recommend having a look in your local store if you're looking to pick up a pair.

Kimono: H&M

Cami: Topshop

White jeans: Zara

Bucket bag: Zara

Birkenstocks: TK Maxx
