Checked shirt and ripped jeans OOTD….

Mono-chrome, ripped denim, oversized checked shirt. All the elements for an absolute perfect fail safe outfit. I'll be swapping the sandals for boots now it's getting colder and throwing on a leather jacket (obvs) but I can see this being a staple look for the Autumn/Winter transition. An oversized mans watch   (and Mac Rebel) is all the accessorising this look needs. 

P.S. Boohoo.com are where it's at for oversized shirts.

Hats, checks and oversized t-shirt OOTD….

Simple and laid back is my go-to style of choice lately. This was just a quick thrown together outfit before I left the house for a last minute makeup job this week. Skinny jeans and a black t-shirt will forever be my wardrobe staple. I'm not 100% sure on the hat though, what do we think of hats guys??

Leopard jeans OOTD….

Jeans - Miss Selfridge

Sunglasses - Ray Ban

Watch - ASOS

Necklace - Topshop

I've really been enjoying sticking to the basics recently….I can't think of anything better than pairing a plain t-shirt with a staple sandal and a pair of interesting bottoms. These leopard jeans FINALLY fit me again after loosing all my Australia weight and I couldn't be happier to have them back in my daily wardrobe rotation 

How would everyone style leopard print (or just patterned) jeans?

New handbag OOTD….

I'm not really a handbag person….I have a couple of handbags and just rotate between them depending on what I'm wearing. So when my handbags all started breaking on me it was time to replace them and I was seriously picky. It only took me a few months to decide on the perfect bag! 

I found this little beauty in Aldo and had been lusting after it for a while before I finally said 'yes! you're the one!'.

I loved my makeup here, I wore EL Double Wear with lashings of Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I used the NYX bronzer and my favourite Mac blush ever, Lovecloud. A swipe of my favourite Essence highlighting powder and my skin was a gooden. I kept eyes simple with just a lightly contoured lid from my Naked Basics palette, some liquid winged liner and my favourite Demi Whispies. Lipstick was one of the MUA matte liquid lipsticks which is probably the worst makeup item I've ever used in my entire makeup wearing life. It lasted for the life span of my photography session when it completely shrivelled up on my lips, dropped off in lumps when I spoke, left a waxy residue after I took it off and stained my lips. Great colour, vile product (sorry). 

I had such a great night out in this outfit, it's not often I go out with this much flesh on show but hey, if you can't dress up for a girls night out then when can you??? I'm really struggling with what to wear with this skirt, everything that's not completely form hugging makes me look a lot bigger than I am. Any suggestions welcome!

Twickenham OOTD...

So I went to watch England vs Barbarians at Twickenham last week in the corporate box (cheers for winning the tickets Dad!) and loved my outfit! Again another simple one, just jeans and a black t-shirt, with my trusty Dr Martens and a blazer. I actually put my extensions in as well for a change!

Burgundy dress OOTD...

This dress comes out a lot more red in pictures than it really is! It's a cute, chiffon overlay, button up dress that I seem to be able to find many occasions for! It's a great dress for going out to dinner thanks to the cut and the very clever chiffon, and I've pulled it out of the wardrobe for many a night out with the girls. Love a multi-tasker.

I'm so into my maxi dresses at the moment....such an easy summer staple now the weather is heating up and I can't be bothered to faff around with picking outfits that look good and keep me cool. Also, props to my Aldo sandals I picked up in the sale before I came away to Aus...considering I'm not a 'sandal person' I've lived in them

This dress was so inexpensive I picked one up in most colours. They're going to be great for summer when I'm down the beach to throw over a bikini, and I'll bring them home to layer up with tights and chunky cardigans for the UK winter.

OOTD - back to basics...

So, how easy is it to just throw a pair of jeans on and a plain t-shirt in the morning? Too easy most of the time. However saying that, the oldies are the goodies or whatever the saying is, and when all else fails, you can't go wrong!

OOTN - Embracing a longer hemline....

You know you're getting older when you wear a jacket and embrace a longer hemline on a night out! I went out with the girls and Ty (poor guy) to Leicester for a few Cosmopolitans and a gossip last night, and aired my calves in a midi dress. Previously I thought they made me look like a middle ages business woman but I loved the colours and design of this one, made it feel a bit younger and much more my style.

I wore my hair extensions again, Chanel lipgloss over Mac Saint Germain, and Ardel demi wispy lashes.

Two days away in Lincoln and Skegvegas...

It was the first proper trip since Ty got to England and we headed to Lincoln for the day to show him around the castle and cathedral, eat proper pie then 2 for 1 cocktails. We stayed in a gorgeous old hotel where the Bishop lived, then went to the legend that is Skegvegas for the afternoon. 2p slot machines became an addiction.

Back to England just in time for a Bank Holiday....

You call this summer? While most of England is making the most of the bright orange thing in the sky peeking through the clouds, I'm rugged up in leggings boots and jumpers still. I'm definitely not in Australia anymore!

So I got back four days ago, and have managed to go shopping, then go shopping, go shopping again, and drink a fair amount of vodka with the girls. I also squeezed in a Harvester, a Nando's, a Starbucks and two Costa's. Clearly got my priorities right. 

Dress: Primark

Jacket: Topshop

Bag: Australia market

Belt: New Look (one of my new buys)

Hair: natural if you can believe it!

Just one of my mini hauls from the past few days, I popped into Boots to use up some of the points Mum had accumulated over the past 12 months, and was clearly craving eyelashes! Got to love 3 for 2. Also picked up the Bumble and Bumble texturising (un)dressing cream, Soap and Glory Flake Away (hello holy grail product and oh how I have missed you), a new Barry M lippy, the final Rimmel Apocolips for my collection in Luna, a Rimmel Scandalise eye crayon, Seche Vite, and finally Benefit Fake Up which I can honestly say is INcredible.

Then of course there was the obligatory reunion night out in the home town - 

Top: Supre (Australian)

Bracelets: ASOS

Heels: Step In Style

So this is officially me saying HI I'm back. And seeing as I'm going to Birmingham shopping (again) tomorrow, I'll see you next time with a haul!
