Digi Dating with ASOS

The other day I was invited to be in the audience for asos's foray into dating shows. Digi Dating is like a modern age Blind Date and I loved being there to watch the show live - as much as it is all about being digital being there IRL was so much more fun than watching it. 

The eps themselves are hilarious though and just what you need if you're after some LOLs this Valentine's. Personally my fave is episode three as I make a seriously awkward cameo around 5.40 on the way back from the loo. Bear in mind it was the end of the day and I'd had a few beverages so my awkwardness level was at it's peak. 

ASOS Pink Bomber

One of the perks of working on a magazine is that you get to see what's coming to stores before it hits the rack but it's also, for this reason, a massive negative too. You see I saw this bomber in the ASOS spring/summer lookbook before christmas and was eagerly waiting for it to hit the new in section for weeks and then it did and was almost an instant sell out. Luckily I nabbed the last size 18 - bear with me - despite being three sizes too big, I really wanted a loose fit so I risked it and snapped it up before it went. I'm so glad I did, it's my new fave. Expect to see it loads in the upcoming months!

Newfound Obsession With Jumpsuits...

Jumpsuit - New Look // Sandals - ASOS // Hat - Accessorize // Bag - Mulberry

For me, the jumpsuit is the dresses' lazier cousin for the summer. They're literally the easiest thing to pull on if you want to look like you've thought about your outfit but you actually CBB and there isn't the whole 'legs out' annoyance... ok I'm just gonna say it - it's like being a toddler and I friggin' love it. 

Ok the whole toilet sitch is jarring and unavoidable (unless you just don't drink all day but I wouldn't recommend that in the sunshine, kids) but I'm willing to get past that.

This gem is from New Look and was a steal at just over £20. Just think, that's basically a whole outfit (minus shoes) for £20. Crazy. Pop on a hat and sandals and you have the whole 'oh I just threw this together' look, 'cos lets face it no one really wants to look like they've tried too hard. 

That 70s Skirt

Top - Topshop // Skirt - ASOS // Trainers - Converse

Earrings - Accessorize // Necklace - H&M  

This skirt has been everywhere this season. Like, literally everywhere. The A-line denim button-through seems to be pretty much the 'it' shape for the summer and I'm all over it. I had my eye on this one from ASOS when I saw it in the magazine last issue and knew I had to have it. One thing I have to say is the quality on the material is so good, better than any I've seen on the high street, something I was not expecting for an online store. 

The fit is super flattering however I feel obliged to warn you - this skirt is a rider, I'm constantly pulling it back down, I feel like if I didn't it would end up somewhere around my boobs. 

Also a quick shout out to this jumper which I nabbed in the Topshop sale. It was the only one in my size in Topshop Stratford, just sitting there waiting for me. 

I feel like this kind of outfit is perfect for this time of season, especially in the UK, and if it gets really cold again, I can just through on some tights and ankle boots.

The pink coat with the fur, the (faux) fur

A pink coat. When this trend came about last autumn/winter I was so not about it, sticking steadfast to my parka for casual and my monochrome for slightly more presentable times. But then I saw this beauty in the Zara sale online this January and with a sweet £50 off I ordered it ASAP. I was finally in possession of a pink coat - just a year behind the trend. I love the versatility of this one; it dresses up a super-casj outfit and finished off a sweet/chic look. Here's how I'll wear it day and night.

Jumper – Primark // Skirt – ASOS // Necklace – Diva @ Miss Selfridge

Bag – Mulberry // Boots – Topshop

You know when you think ‘It's autumn, let me pull on the black tights and big jumper…’ but the weather has other ideas? Yeah that was me on this precise day and as I type this I’m sitting freezing in a cap-sleeve blouse. Brilliant.

Cropped.

Top - H&M // Skirt - ASOS // Bag - Mulberry

Shoes - Office // Necklace - Topshop

Rings - ASOS

Can we just take a moment to appreciate my ankle tan? LOLZ. This is clearly what happens when you  wear skinny ankle grazers and sandals as your staple summer attire. 

I'm so normally not a flash of stomach kinda gal, but I'm really starting to appreciate the whole (slightly) cropped top and high-waisted skirt combo - especially with a good a-line skirt. I'm still wary of the crop top x high-waisted jeans thing though. I'm definitely a but too hippy to pull it off, I think only a select few could, really. 

I'm still trying to wear these loafers in. I got them from my big sister for my birthday last December but they are still a bitch to wear for longer than a few hours. Why can't it just be simple?

OOTD - The Print Dress

Dress - Topshop // Boots - New Look // Bag - Vintage

Rings & Phone Case - ASOS // Sunnies - Topshop

Eeep! I can't even believe how long I haven't blogged for! Anywho onwards and upwards, I shan't bore with excuses and promises, but what better way to start back than with a springtime get-up? 

I picked up this dress in the Topshop sale (sidenote - does anyone else think that half the things they see in sales they've never seen in the shop floor before? Strange). It was actually the only thing I bought; I'm getting really good at only getting one item in shops now, I no longer feel the need to go to the till with a mountain of stuff. (Hurrah!)

Anyway back to the dress - I love. I can already tell that it's going to be one of those things that I'm going to have to stop myself wearing more than once a week when it gets a bit warmer. Bring on the sunshine!

#WIWTW 5 It's All Good Baby, Baby

T Shirt - Forever 21 // Jeans - Topshop // Trainers - Vans @ Offspring

Hat - ASOS // Watch - Michael Kors 

This T shirt is everything. Everything. You know when you see something and don't get it because of whatever reason and then regret it immediately when you get home? I did that with this before Christmas. I did get over it eventually of course but when I saw it again last week, I was like *heart-eyed emoji*.

WIWTW #3

Blouse - Primark // Jeans - Topshop // Watch - Michael Kors 

Bracelet - ASOS 

So I got another pair of Jamie jeans. It happened. Well, another two pairs. Tell me I don't need anymore jeans because I may have a slight problem. 

This is what I wore on Friday for our shoot at work. I wanted to look kind of smart but also wanted to be able be as helpful as possible so had to be comfortable too!

WIWTW #2

Dress - ASOS // Necklace - H&M

Tights - M&S

This dress was my ASOS sale purchase of the month. It fits the way that I want it to, is made of good material (read - isn't see-through) and is true to colour, but the best part was that it was just £14. I mean, crazy good right? 

It also makes me feel slightly more professional. In our office, like many mags, anything really goes - I'm sure they'll draw the line at like a latex bodysuit, or even worse, a Kappa tracksuit - so sometimes it's easy to throw an outfit together that's a bit 'meh'. However, this dress is perfect to throw on because it's kind of impossible to not look office appropriate. 

Major plus for the elastic waistband that allowed for the jacket potato I had at lunch.

A Grown-Up Coat

Coat - Oasis // Jeans - Topshop // Top - H&M // Boots - Topshop

So it had to happen. I'm almost a fully fledged adult on the career ladder and that so it was about time I started to look a bit more adult-like; well at least sometimes right? So since I started my job I've been on the look out for my perfect coat. I had a few requirements it had to meet...

- No wacky colours

- Midway between bum and knee-length 

- Not too many bells and whistles

- No hood 

- Not collarless

You know, just a few. 

Now, I don't often venture into Oasis (I actually don't know why) and technically I didn't see this in Oasis, it was on Asos. Do ever see something that you really really like, but can't bring yourself to buy it, so you just go back to the site and look at it everyday? Well that's what I did. I'd gotten so used to being a scrimpin' student that I literally couldn't bring myself to buy it! 

It wasn't until I past the Oasis store on Argyll St and decided to try it on on a whim that I fell absolutely in love. It's so me yet unlike me at the same time. LOVE.

Autumn Dungarees.

Dugarees - Primark // Top - Zara // Tights - Primark // Bag -Marc by Marc Jacobs

Boots - Zara // Watch - Michael Kors // Bracelet - Asos 

Necklace - Topshop 

It's easier than I thought making dungarees transition into Autumn/Winter. All I needed to add was a uniform of all black to make it wearable in these more colder months and ensure that I don't freeze half to death. Who would have thought a couple of months ago, I, a positive dungaree cynic since childhood, would be trying to find a way to rework them for Autumn. This is mind-blowing stuff people.

Slouch.

Cardigan and Jeans - Primark // Shirt -Vintage // Vest - Topshop // Green Bracelet - Gift // Spiked Bracelet - Asos // Necklace - Accessorize 

I mean, every girl in England has/needs that slouchy hobo-esqe cardigan that they throw on for 'can't be asked days', don't they? I thought so. Well this is my new one, as my old one was breaking apart at an alarming speed, and I was basically one wear away for being mistaken for an actually hobo and being offered small change. 

This one is super comfy and a steal at £14. I had my eye on one in Topshop that was over double the price but luckily spotted this one the same day. 

It's basically like a blanket with sleeves. And what more could you want from a cardi on the drearier Autumn days?

OOTD - The Faux Fur Gilet

Gilet - TK Maxx // Top - Zara // Jeans - Topshop

Earrings - ASOS // Long Necklace - Topshop // Short Necklace - Urban Outfitters 

Watch - Michael Kors 

As soon as Autumn falls upon us, I have a urge to break out the faux fur gilet. However, as much as I love it, I hardly ever seem to wear it! I go to put it on, spin around, shrug and then swap it for my trusty leather jacket. I think it's something to do with the lack of sleeves, it automatically makes me think I'll be cold. 

I finally wore it out the other day though, granted I was driving to where I was going but still I did it, and I wasn't even that cold... much.

OOTD - Stripes and Navy

Jacket - ASOS // Top - H&M // Skirt - Primark 

Boots - Topshop // Watch - Michael Kors // Necklace - Diva @ Miss Selfridge

First off, my top is back to front. I realised that when I was doing my make up, but kind of dug the high neckline so I kept it that way. I know, I'm so cutting edge. 

Secondly, when I put this on my mum told me I looked a bit like a grandma. 

That's all.

The Tropics.

Dress - TK Maxx // Shoes - Aldo 

Hat - Primark // Sunglasses // Spiked Bracelet - ASOS 

Silver bracelet - a gift.

At the copa, copacabana, the hottest spot north of Havana...

la la la la la la la la la...

Not gonna lie, don't know the rest...

But I do know that I look like I belong at the copa copacabana in this outfit. Especially with the hat. But I love the hat. 

With this glorious (if not slightly stifling) weather I thought it was only right to bring out the tropics in the form of this dress from Tk Maxx, I love the floral on black look and the material is so lightweight and breezy! 

I forgot to capture my outfit for Wireless festival which I went to on Saturday! It was amazing but so so hot so I ended up wearing my dungaree dress, a white tee underneath with my yellow converse. I definitely looked like an overgrown schoolchild, but I'm ok with that.

Shorts and Shirt.

Sunglasses - Marks and Spencer

Hi lovelies,

First of all how sunny was it yesterday?! SO GOOD! Alas the sun seems to have retreated back to where ever it has been hiding all these months, but the glimpse of it was delightful. 

I made these shorts when I was in my 'I reaaaally want a pair of vintage Levis' phase and when my sister was throwing out old jeans when she was pregnant, I took this pair of Levis and made them my project. I  sat myself in front of youtube and watched about 20 how to videos on making shorts from jeans. I dip dyed them, cut, frayed, ripped etc until I was happy.

Hey Girlies,

Have you ever impulse bought something in the sale because it was such a bargain, and then never ever worn it? No? Stop lying!

I'm pretty sure most girls have, and for me that purchase was this coat. I got it back in last years January sales when Zara were more generous with their mark-downs and I believe it was around £20. I liked it enough to buy it, but evidently not enough to wear it; until now. I think must have just taken me a year to feel grown up enough to wear such a coat!

What's your least worn impulse sale purchase?

That Grey Jumper.

Jumper - Lyle & Scott // Jeans - Zara 

Shoes - Kurt Geiger // Bag - Chanel // Earrings - ASOS

Rings - Topshop

Hey lovelies,

Is it just me or do any of you have that jumper that you wear with anything? For me it's definitely this jumper it's a mens medium so it's slouchy and oversized but not too much; and is so comfy. It's one of those that I can just throw on; simple as, no thought required. 

Teaming it with my favourite platforms and favourite bag, I think I've created a new go-to smart casual outfit.

p.s Happy belated Valentine's day :)
