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!

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?

Metal and Mint.





Top - H&M // Jeans - Topshop // Heels - ASOS
Bag - Vintage // Ring ASOS
Necklace - Topshop

Hello there lovies!

Long time no speak! I'm so annoyed as I was happily fulfilling my New Year's to do list which included blogging more often and then... BLAM! The internet cut out! But I'm back and I thought I'd show you my beautiful new heels. I bought them when ASOS was doing 25% off for students and seen as I'm not going to be a student much longer (sob sob) I thought I'd do a little shopping.

I fell in love with them almost immediately, it's the metal heel that sold them to me. They are so unlike me though. I don't think I've owned a pair of heels without any kind of platform; I normally go for a chunkier heel. But I'm so glad I bought these. They make me feel classy just looking at them.

 I envision wearing these on dates where the most walking that's involved is going to the car, then from the car to the restaurant then back to the car again as they aren't the comfiest.

Studs and Stripes




Jumper - Primark // Denim Shirt - Vintage (Customised, Studs from Ebay)
Disco Pants - American Apparel // Shoes - Bank
Bag - Mulberry // Rings - Topshop & Primark 


I permanently borrowed the denim shirt I'm wearing from my mum, it's sleeveless and has a huge bleach stain down one side, so I had no clue how to style it, but I knew I had to keep it. One reason: I friggin' love the collar, the tips are so pointed, I knew I wanted to make something of them so I studded it with studs I picked up from Ebay for cheap cheap. 

The jumper I'm wearing is mega old from Primark, but they've brought it back this A/W in different colours. I've got my eye on the cream and blue one...

Hope you all have a good Friday (TGIF and all that), although I have work tomorrow, I'm so excited to see James Bond tonight with the parents!

Blue Boucle.



Jacket - Zara // Top - Topshop // 
Jeans - Zara // Boots - Office // Bag - Vintage
Bracelet - Gift // Watch - Michael Kors

Hey Girlies,

I know it's approaching winter and I should be embracing all the lovely autumn/winter colours like khaki and oxblood (loooove oxblood!), I still can't completely let go of some of the lighter, brighter shades from seasons past. 

This jacket is the only boucle style jacket that I own, and I love that it can smarten up an outfit quite effortlessly, which is handy for those of us that don't do smart easily. 

These jeans are also a bit of a revelation. I was a faithful follower of the Topshop Leigh jeans sect, but after another pair failed on me, I had to look elsewhere. And I don't think I'll look back, I really love these Zara jeans. They're stretchier that the Leigh's and they fit my waist the one and only gripe I have with them is the ankle zip detail. They make them too hard the roll up, that's all.

OOTD - The Wedding Outfit





Dress - Love via Topshop // Bag - Vintage
Shoes - Topshop (Srsly old!) // Necklace - Primark
Rings - Primark (set of 4)

Nails - Essie Mint Candy Apple & Barry M Peach Melba

Hey Dolls!

I wore this outfit on the weekend to my aunties wedding, I was absolutely dying to wear it so when the occasion came I couldn’t get it on quick enough.

This dress such a bargain; I got it in the Topshop sale and is by the brand Love, it was half price at £20! I love a good deal!

Because the dress was so bright I just paired it with black and gold accessories.

Did you nab anything amazing in the sales?

The Red Scarf.



Scarf - Vintage?? // Dress - Primark
Jacket - Topshop // Watch - Michael Kors
Bag - Zara // Boots - Topshop

Hello Lovies,

So I frickin' love this scarf! It was my nan's, but I've kind of permanently borrowed it from her... (with consent of course ;) ) It really adds a bit of colour to an otherwise plain outfit.

I wore this outfit last week when I was out and about with my mumma and like a total idiot I forgot it was summertime in England and left my brolly at home and ended up having to use my scarf to cover my hair as I ran back to the car. Such a 'mare! 

Have any of you been caught out by the rain yet? Will it ever stop?

Black&Beige





Jacket - Vintage // Vest - H&M // Jeans - Topshop // Necklace - H&M
Bag - Chanel // Ring - Topshop // Shoes - Office

This is probably the most put-together I’ve looked in yonks. I’ve had this jacket in the back of my wardrobe collecting dust for absolutely ages, just like this polka dot dress, it was my mums when she was younger, and she couldn’t bear to part with it, so since I still live at home, it just moved wardrobes. I haven’t really worn it because the sleeves are too short and it’s been too cold to wear them rolled up like they are here, and in previous years I never really felt mature enough to pull the tres sophisticated look off.

I teamed it with my brogues for a mannish punch to the outfit and added my beloved 2.55 to complete the tres chic-ness.

In other news I bought MAC studio fix fluid foundation to other day and I’m loving it so far, I’m definitely going to do a proper review of it very soon!

I’ve also been busy creating accounts for my blog, so you can:

Hope you guys are having a relaxed Wednesday evening,

Vintage Polka-dot.



Dress - Vintage Karen Millen // Denim Shirt - Primark

Bracelet - Accessorize // Ring - Topshop


Every once in a while, my lovely mum will utter the phrase “Does this fit you”, and it can only mean one of two things; she’s bought my something, or she’s found an old gem in her (seemingly endless) wardrobe. Sunday it was the latter, and I was thrilled when she held out this navy polka-dot halter-neck dress.

It’s vintage Karen Millen that she said she bought about 25 years ago, when Karen Millen was still a high street newbie, and I absolutely love it. I actually don’t own any halter-necks as I don’t think it’s the most flattering shape for my figure and I can’t wear any kind of normal bra with this dress because the back is sooooo very low, but I’ll make it work come Summer.

One way I thought I could style it, is with my trusty denim shirt, with the pale denim kind of in keeping with the ‘vintage-y’ look.

Anyway, while the weather is this cold in England, this little beauty shall be kept sheltered in my wardrobe until it’s a more suitable climate, but I can’t wait to give it an outing in a couple of months.

Hope you’re having a lovely evening sweets,

Love Keeks xo
