Leopard print and Docs OOTD....

So, like I said, it's winter over here! And boy is it chilly. Not a patch on English winter I'll grant you but still not as toasty as all you girls back in England are enjoying. So it's time to dig out the boots and cardigan for a nice wintery OOTD...

Cardigan - JayJays (Australia)

Jeans and black top - Miss Selfridge

Boots - Dr Marten shop

I had my first day at work today so it's time to me to relax with my feet up and my Kindle for the rest of the evening.

Primark haul...

First time I've been to Primark in months! Picked up a few bits and pieces, mainly knit wear and cosy jumpers! (Btw, first pics taken on my tripod so bare with me!)

Basic chunky knit cardigan in turquoise £12

Another chunky knit, wanted something black for work and this is quite smart without having buttons down the front £12

Couple of vests. Standard. £2 each

Not sure I like this, didn't take a full pic because I think it needs a full on outfit pic to see it to full effect. Might go back though. £14

Purple chunky knit scarf. I'm off to buy this in every colour. £6

Fave jumper. Multi coloured knit, pockets. £10

Saved the best until last. I love Primark mens section too much. This was £10 and I want it in every. single. colour. Deffo gonna be wearing this with leggings and Nike Blazers

OK OK I'm going to admit, I RAN across Primark when I saw this in the mens section. I'm obsessed with mens Primark t-shirts (cut the arms off and make a vest) and Jessie J. Basically, amazing combo. Can't wait to get my Gok on and make it into something I'll wear. Obviously going with my leopard jeans and Allegra boots. FAB :)

It's the closest thing I've got to happiness....

BIRMINGHAM shopping trip today with my ladies. But more on that later, first to my love affair with my new airbrushed skin. I went along to my local Mac counter this week to make the leap from my normal powder foundation which has decided it doesn't like my skin anymore, to a Mac liquid one that I'd heard recommended many times. Studio fix fluid, in Number 22. Also treated myself to a foundation brush (£26!!!!) and a new lipstick in Saint German that I love so much I'd happily sleep in.

So anyway, on to Birmingham....the shopping outfit went a little bit like this....

Dress and tights: Primark

Boots: Random shop in Leicester

Jewellery: from all over the place to be honest

Leather jacket: Matalan

Got the Mac foundation and lipstick on here, and Mac eyeliner in Smoulder, as well as Mac blusher in Fleur Power. 

Some lovely purchases....

Cardigan in the sale for £45 in Urban Outfitters sale

Jeggings (which i've been looking for for TIME!) £20 Zara

Shoes: Forever 21 for the bargain that is £23!

Bought this skirt for work (Forever 21 for £9.50) but I love it so much I might get it on for Thurs night with my Henry Holland tights and a cream shirt.

Had to buy this (£15 Zara) because the words could NOT be more true....

Jacket £40 Topshop

LOVES a pair of sunglasses, but I've been so good and not bought a single pair this year, until now. £16 Miss Selfridge

jump in the pool.....

Today I wore:

Grey drop crotch suit trousers (rolled up because the sun was shining!): Zara

Black t-shirt: Primark

Patent brogues: Office

And for some reason I decided to wear some stupid peach glittery eyeshadow which just made my face sparkle all day. Error! Also, I thought I'd add some colour with my scarf, which the lady in Tesco kindly told me she thought was 'pretty'. She then asked me where it was from, and when I said 'I got it at V festival last year' she went 'well I'm not likely to go there am I?!?' Sorry love, I'll lie next time.

OK OK so I went shopping after work. I'm bored of all my clothes all ready, and in fairness I did go in to get some of mums mothers day present. So what if I ended up with one or two (or more?) items for myself? I've been working hard after all!

Topshop: £18

I was going to get this in cream (for work) but was quite a fan of the navy. I stood there with both of them in my hand for ages and then I thought of the very wise words of my mate Kellie (she claims herself to be a VERY big navy fan) that 'navy is great, goes with everything' (or something along those lines) and went for this one. Will go with my pale grey Oasis peg leg trousers. Maybe even tomorrow if the sun stays out?

Dress: Topshop

BIG fan of maxi dresses atm, but it's far to cold to wear nice summary ones. Plus I love black. And anything plain. This is going to be worn with either biker boots and a big chunky knit cardigan, or some espadrilles and a checked shirt, and I'll probably wear the plum lipstick with it. It just fits. Not round the boyfriend though. He hates maxi dresses and coloured lipstick, so don't think this would be a winner! Although saying this, this dress gives me serious curves! 

I went for another maxi which I'm not too sure about, think it could do with being a size smaller because it doesn't hang properly around the bottom (see below)

River Island did me proud today, I was a big big fan. Got a nice chunky cardigan that will look so nice over my new black Topshop maxi or just a tshirt and jeans, but I can't wait to wear it as a cover-up in the summer over ripped denim shorts and a crop, when it cools down in the evening. 

Not the biggest floral fan in the world but I loved this. With black tights and tan brogues it will look lovely, probably for work but I also fancy taking this for a trip out at night. The pocket details are so cute, and the fabric will be nice for the summer when I can go bare leg (big apologies for the state of my fat pale legs in these pics btw! need a tan).

I'm a big supporter of over the knee socks. Black dress, shoe boots, and over the knee socks. Denim shorts, pumps, checked shirt and over the knee socks. I love them over patterned tights, opaques, lit

literally everything, but I'm not scared to admit that I'm a bit one dimensional. They're always black. So I thought I'd jazz it up a bit and get some different coloured ones. These were from Next and I love them too much, they're probably getting worn on Saturday night to a party I'm going to, with the River Island shoes I've got on in this picture (and maybe the new skirt?)

Oh and also, I love a blazer. This one is the same as my black one I've had on here before, the £15 H&M beauty, but I thought I'd go 'wild' (sorry bad one) and get the grey and black leopard print one!
