Leopard Print and Red Lips

Sometimes the weather just calls for a floaty skirt. A warm day with a light breeze is all it takes for me to drag my beloved Whistles 'Carrie' skirt out from the back of the wardrobe - do you remember when they came out a few years back and literally everyone had one? When midis officially became a thing . Teaming it was a casj grey crop and a slick of red lippy created the smart/casual vibe I was after. Also my latest shoes steal had their first public outing and they are so so comfy - definitely worth a purchase if you can get your hands on them!

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 last of the summer... crop tops?

Top + Jeans + Jacket + Boots - All Topshop

I’ve never really been that big on crop tops. No, seriously, not even in my Spice Girls super fandom period. But this summer I was so drawn to them and extremely into their waist-nipping abilities. You see being a big-booty one (that’s the kind way of saying it) and having not the smallest of chesticals, means that my waist is the one thing that shows that I am not in fact huge, so I should definitely show it off more often than I do.

Alas, the summer is over and the crop tops have to be folded away, but I couldn’t help pick this one up on a jaunt to Toppers. You see I think I can get away with it because it’s from the Topshop Tall range therefore shows the minimum amount of midriff, if any at all. With the Topshop Jamie jeans you get a flash of stomach but with the Jonis you don’t get any. I'll be trying to keep this one out 'til December...

P.s how beaut are my new autumn/winter boots? It’s love.

Tassels and Rips.

I've joined the ripped jeans brigade. I resisted for so so long but I was forced to buy them. So here's the story, my dark wash jamie jeans were actually ripped and falling apart (but not in a cool way) so I went into Topshop to get a new pair, only to be told that that colour is a A/W colour! Sorry I didn't know blue jeans were only 'in' in Autumn... anywho, I needed another pair of jeans and wasn't going to leave without them, so I thought, why not try something new. I mean the quality of the jean is the same, just with rips to give my knees room to breathe, right? And, well, I fell in love... 

On a side note, I swear that the weather cannot make it's mind up lately - one minute it's baking hot, the next I'm shivering under a brolly. Happy summertime, eh?

Cropped.

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?

The Full Lace Skirt

Crop top - Primark // Skirt - Forever 21 

Heels - Topshop // Necklace - Gift

I'm back from Miami! It was so lush, and I will have a post up about it very soon! Until then take a look at my instagram, I popped up a few pics from my trip.

I did a little (lottle) bit of shopping while I was out there, and this skirt was one of my favourite purchases. It was $24 from Forever 21- such a bargain! At the current conversion rate that's about £15, now Forever 21 in the UK is cheap, but that cheap? Ummm no. As soon as I got it home I tried it with a few of my crop tops but this was definitely the pairing I liked the most, the contrast of casual with prim. I really want to team it with a breton stripe crop, which I have, but the length is a bit long and you don't get the hint of flesh that I love. 

Also - how gorgeous was it yesterday? I took today off to recover from my break and get me ready for returning to work tomorrow.

Sunnies - Topshop 

Despite the beautiful sunshine we've had in England lately, it's not exactly been warm, has it? So while I'm willing to get my legs out for a couple of hours, my jumpers aren't being folded away just yet. 

This skirt is one of those pieces that I saw, I loved, I pondered over, I decided I wanted, it sold out on online, I vowed to find it at all costs, I hunted it down and felt unrivalled joy once it was finally mine. While I seriously love it, this it the only way I'll wear it, with chunkier black pieces to off-set the girliness, and the fact that it's so very short.

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!

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.

The Best Parka Ever.

Parka - Zara // Jeans - Topshop

So this may just be my favourite coat I have ever, ever bought. Sure it's not a real looker, but DAMN is it snug. I could be completely naked on my top half underneath and not feel the cold within an inch of my skin.

The inside is lined with fleecy goodness and the hood is so big that if I don't hold it, it covers my face down past my nose. Perfect for shielding my face waiting for my train home in the elements.

IT'S LOVE

Autumn Dungarees.

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 - Baby pink and white noise.

Cardigan - Primark // Cami - Topshop // Jeans - Topshop

Boots - Topshop // Bracelet - A gift // Necklace - Topshop // Watch - Michael Kors 

Whenever I wear an outfit that's mostly from one shop (normally it's Topshop) I never realise until i'm writing the bit above. 

One tip, If you're 5'7, like me, or above, definitely try the Topshop cami's in the tall section. I don't consider myself that tall so it doesn't really occur to me to look there, but this cami stops at so much more of a flattering place on me than the normal ones!

Lipstick - MAC lipliner in Brick

Hey Girlies! 

So I've fallen in love with this dress, my mum actually picked it up from Topshop for herself and was going to bring it back but I grabbed it before she could!

I love me a cute dress with a good collar. I don't get to rock a peter pan collar because of my chesty area so a statement collar that flatters my boobage is always a win for me. Plus as soon as I saw it, it reminded me of something the gorgeous Liv from What Olivia Did would wear, so I was all over it. 

I wore this out running errands with my mum and then to lunch the other day and because she drove I slipped my phone and lipliner into my purse and I was good to go. I always carry an unnecessarily large bag or fill my satchel to death so it was nice to travel light for once!

#21

Dress - Asos // Bag - New Look

Shoes - Kurt Geiger 

Hey girlies,

So my birthday was a week and a half ago and I'm now an old lady according to my nan. My 21st birthday was kind of amazing, a busy weekend of celebrations with my favourite peoples and a hell of a lot of cake.

I so badly wanted to share some of the celebrations on here but I kept forgetting my camera! (stoopid Keeks). So I thought I'd throw my b'day gladrags back on to show you the outfit I wore for my  night out with the girls. 

As soon as I saw this dress, I started virtually planning the accessories around it. Because it has so much embellishment I didn't wear any jewellery and chose a bedazzled (yes I said bedazzled) silver clutch which was £10 in the New Look sale. 

The shoes were also a steal in the Kurt Geiger sale £160 to £59 - I'm still in shock about that.

Also in shock that I'm 21; but I don't think I'll get over that until my next birthday.

A Black Hat and Red Lips.

Green Bracelet - A Gift // Boots - Topshop 

Hey Girlies!

What is it about a hat that can transform an outfit? I really couldn't be asked with getting dressed (as you can probably tell with the black and brown overload). So I flung on this hat to add a little something to the outfit as well as a slick of red lippy, et voila, I look a tad more presentable (I hope). 

I've pretty much done all of my Christmas shopping now as well as my boyfriend's 21st birthday present, which is on Christmas day. This all equals a very poor Keeks. However, I'm so so excited for Christmas and the fact that in 12 mere days IT'S MY 21st BIRTHDAY! 

I have such fun plans for my birthday weekend and I hope to share some of it on my blog!

The Intern Wears...

Jumper – Topshop // Shirt – H&M // Mini Skirt – H&M

Tights – Primark // Watch – Michael Kors

Hey lovelies,

So I’m back at Celebs on Sunday magazine as they asked me to come back to intern until I return to uni later this month (yaay!) which I was over the moon about! I love interning at Celebs, everone's so lovely, so it’s been fun being back there for a bit longer.

Unfortunately for most of the first couple of weeks I wasn’t able to take pictures and do my ‘What I wore to work experience’ daily OOTD’s, so I thought I’d show you the typical kind of outfit that I wear to my internship.

I obviously like to look nice when I go into the office, but as an intern, comfort is definitely essential as you can be asked to do anything, so I tend to go for stretchy skinny jeans like Topshop Leigh jeans or a skirt and thick black tights.

I always wear or carry a jumper with me even if it’s a really hot day because office air conditioning can be a killer and without fail I always wear my Michael Kors watch.

I keep footwear flat, usually ballet flats or my new favourite Topshop boots, which I have already worn to death!

I'm going to do a blog about what I take in my bag when I go to my internship, so keep a look out for that blogpost very soon!

What I Wore to Wireless!

Hey Guys! 

So on Saturday I went to Barclaycard Wireless festival in Hyde Park. I had been looking forward to it for what felt like so long, I literally can't believe it came and went so quickly :(

I went when Drake was the headliner and was not disappointed! He was A-Maaazing! I love him. It was pelting with rain but I actually think it just added to the atmosphere. Besides Drake, my other favourite acts of the day were Rita Ora, D'Bang, Josh Osho and Nicki Minaj.

I didn't taken any photos of the day itself (I know, fail) but before I went I made sure I took a picture of my outfit.

Nail Polish is 308 Berry Ice Cream by Barry M

I hadn't even realised until writing up this blogpost that my entire outfit is from Topshop! ('cept the Necklace which is from H&M, and the Converse obvs) How shameful. They were all bought at different times so it's not thaaaat bad, but still, yikes :/

And now can we all take a moment for my poor Converse...

:(

Did any of you lovelies go to Wireless festival?
