Shirt - Topshop

Shorts - Sportsgirl

Bag - Collarado @ Strandbags

Boots - Dr Martens

Belt - Dorothy Perkins

Sunglasses - Ray Ban

Watch - ASOS

Nails - Essie Blanc

Lips - Mac Morange

I love those carefully planned outfits that look thrown together. I've been searching for an oversized black and white checked shirt and finally found this one hiding behind a load of other checked numbers in the Birmingham Bullring Topshop. Paired with some denim shorts and black boots I just love how thrown together the whole thing looked. And, as always, my colour injection for this outfit came in the form of a nice bright lipstick…all hail Mac Morange as being my absolute favourite bright lipstick. Ever. 

What's everyone else's go-to outfits at the moment?

Who wants to go for frozen yogurt...neon OOTD....

I love this top....it really shows off a tan, and the sunshine yellow can't help to put me in a great mood!

Coconut frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries, watermelon, and granola. Hashtag yummy. 

A few shots at Mooloolaba. I need to pinch myself daily....asif I live here. Best make the most of it before I come home to drizzly cold UK at the end of the month!

Sportsgirl kimono OOTD...

I may have mentioned this before (only about 100 times) but for Australian fashion, Sportsgirl are my go-to. I manage to find some really unique pieces in there, as well as some great basics and denim, and when I spotted this ridiculously gorgeous kimono in there a few weeks ago I was straight to the checkout. 

It's black, swishy, has fringing, and an outrageously cool eagle design on the back. Who was I to resist such an incredible piece?? I paired it with my Miss Shop denim shorts and my Converse, with a plain black cami underneath and kept accessories minimal.

I let my eagle do the talking.

"You look like you were in a fight with a T-Rex" OOTD....

Top - present from Florida

Shorts - Myer (Australia)

Converse - Office

Bag - Australia market

Bandeau - New Look

I've been wearing this to death recently, I love the effect and detailing in this top, it looks so effortless with a pair of converse and denim shorts like I've styled it above, or with a pretty bra under and a pair of skinny jeans and heels for a night out. A nod to the grunge trend, without going over board :)

How else would you style this top?

Summer shorts and t-shirt OOTD...

Denim shorts and a t-shirt is my go-to summer outfit choice, and as it's heating up over here it's what I've been reaching for more and more on a daily basis. 

T-shirt - market

Belt - New Look

Shorts - Myer (Australia)

Chain - Colette (Australia)

I can see my t-shirt collection slowly expanding from here on out.

Australian TK Maxx equivalent...

Shopping with the boyfriend and his parents last week, we popped into a shop called Trade Secrets which I assumed to be some sort of DIY shop. Oh how wrong I was. It's a much smaller scale, neater version of my beloved TK Maxx....safe to say I was sampling a little piece of heaven.

I picked up a few bright tops and cotton dresses for summer, and was happily wandering to the till's when I spotted this little number on the end of a rack, looking very lonely and unloved. Being the kind hearted girl that I am, I bought it home with me and we've had a firm friendship ever since. I think this sheer flowered shirt is one of my new favourite pieces in my wardrobe. 

As I was going out in the evening I paired it with tights, shorts and my Dr Martens, but I also want to team it with my disco pants or just some denim shorts and flipflops for a laid back beach vibe. 

Oh TK Maxx how I was missing you, but...for now.... I've found a substitute.

'Go to' OOTD....

You know those days where you don't really know what to wear so you just chuck on an 'old faithful' ensemble? Today was one of those day...

T-shirt - T Bar (Australia)

Shorts - surf shop (Australia)

Bag - River Island (via ASOS)

Tights - Primark

Boots - Dr Marten

I'm completely in love with my new bag from RI, it's HUGE so can fit all of my essentials, junk, and even my boyfriends junk in it! Aztec embroidery, fringing... what's not to love???

More jumper OOTD's....

Jumper - New Look (about £4 in a sale many years ago)

Shorts - Surf shop (Australia)

Bag - Perth market (Australia)

Rings and leggings - Primark

Watch - ASOS

Converse - Office

You must excuse my eyebrows, I used a black eyeshadow from the Sleek Storm palette and wasn't used to how soft it was...smudge central!

I just wanted to show off my flicked liner to be honest, I've got so lazy using a felt liner pen that I thought getting back into gel liner would be tricky but it was surprisingly easy to pick up again! I used the Maybelline blackest black gel liner with a Sigma E05 liner brush and loved the results!

For lips I used a smudge of Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake, completely obsessed with this shade right now!

If anyone has any recommendations for mote gel or cream liners, or even some great felt tip or liquid liners I'd love to hear them, I'm really enjoying getting back into liner on the lash line recently.

Easter Bank Holiday in outfits....

I think it's safe to say I've had the best Easter Bank Holiday EVER!


Went out with the girls for a warm up session on Thursday, just to our local town for a glass of wine or three...

Top: Miss Selfridge

Shorts & Necklace: Topshop

Tights: Primark

Bag: TK Maxx

Belt: Dorothy Perkins

Boots: Office

Foundation: EL Double Wear

Lashes: Eyelur Kimberley Girls Aloud

Lipstick: Topshop Brighton Rock

I just popped into Leicester with the girls on Friday to look for outfits for the big bank holiday Sunday night out and for a Wagamama's...lush! I literally just threw on a baggy t-shirt from Miss Selfridge over a long black tank, my Primark mens hoody and some converse. 

Then the big event on Sunday...I'd been saving this outfit since Christmas when I bought these shorts but couldn't actually fit in them! 

Top: New Look

Shorts: Primark (!!!)

Tights: ASOS

Lita's: Random shop in Leicester that sells beaut fakes!

I wore the TK Maxx handbag from the Thursday outfit, and just bracelets stacked up my arm and a couple of rings. Lipstick was, of course, Saint Germain by Mac

Kellie, on the left, wore a Miss Selfridge Dress and Peacocks shoes, Steph wore a strapless dress from River Island, and Sarah had a New Look lace, glittery top with a stretchy black skirt and black shoe boots, also from New Look I think!

OOTD...For that 'in between' weather...

Hey lovelies :) Hope everyone's having a good bank holiday! I popped into Leicester last week and, with the weather being a bit 'meh' just recently, I have had NO idea what to wear. I went for my old faithful denim shorts from Topshop, my black boots and a thin jumper from Miss Selfridge with a sheer panel across the shoulders. I dragged out my furry River Island bag, decided on Barry M 155 lipstick and hit the shops (didn't actually buy anything though....just a bit of window shopping!)

Happy Easter everyone

OOTN - Ripped tights and RIP Up The Amp....

Hey all, hope you're all having a lovely weekend. I went out for one of my best friends birthday's last night (dreading seeing some of the pictures) and wore...

Shirt: Miss Selfridge

Shorts: Topshop

Tights: Primary (yep, that's right, Primark!!)

Boots: Office

Jewellery: mix of Miss Selfridge, Cyprus, ASOS

I'm trying to grow my fringe out which is annoying as it's still mega short so this is about the only hair style I can manage right now! I re-dyed my hair to Black Cherry again just to freshen the colour up a bit but without the flash on in these pictures you can't really tell.

Also, if you follow me on Twitter you'll have seen me ranting last night about my poor Up The Amp lipstick that I wore, which has now melted into a gloopy mess just like Saint Germain did a couple of years ago. Is it something about the amplified formula's? Has anyone else had this issue? And why is it always my FAVOURITE ones??

Hey I heard you were a wild one....

Hey all :) 


Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I went to see The Vow on Friday with the girls and as amazing as it was, it was also bloody sad! I went out on Saturday night with some friends for a dance and a catch up, and wore my new denim shorts from my last mini haul, with an old faithful t-shirt from River Island I can't seem to take off right now...

So I did a bit of shopping....

Yes I know I'm on a shopping ban, but to be honest I was bored of being good....

Now I'm no fool, I know the Lee Stafford hair growth treatment isn't going to give me bum length locks any time soon, but I needed a new hair treatment and this seems to get pretty good reviews so why not! I also picked up Rimmel Stay Mat pressed powder. Controversially, I don't really like Mac MSF natural that much. I gave it a good 4 month trial and I don't think it does, well, anything to my skin. This was highly recommended and so far I'm impressed!

Casual through and through, I spotted this red shiny body warmer in Republic for £10 and had to have it. With my bright blue skinny jeans and a black hoody under it's been brilliant! I 'needed' (complete lie, I have far too many pairs already) some new denim shorts that were between low-rise and high waisted. Topshop did the job for a bargain of £28 for these. 

Then I had a bit of a t-shirt (surprise surprise) spree online at Miss Selfridge. Grey vest, long navy and white striped body con dress/top and a Love Rocks short t-shirt. 

I wore these shorts last night, so an OOTD is coming up soon!

Always time to party....

This one's a few days late as it's about my weekend but I've been so busy! I went out for a randomly decided night out on Saturday with my friend Matt, went from 'a drink' to ending up in our local night club dancing until who only knows what time! As I wasn't sure where the night was taking me, I went quite casual...

LOVE this t-shirt, I picked it up in Birmingham from River Island ages ago and hadn't got around to wearing it, and we all know how I love a slogan t-shirt!!

Leather jacket: H&M

Top: River Island

Shorts: Forever21

Tights: Primark

Boots: Topshop Allegra's

And one without the jacket! The big chunky gold bracelet is from Forever21, as are the rings. Bracelets on my right arm are from all over the place!

My favourite part of the outfit were my nails, I used one of the magnetised nail varnishes from 17! I had so many comments all night!

(sorry about the neatness, was hard to get the cuticles perfect because of my gel nails, they're due to be filled in I promise!)

Has anyone else tried these? I thought they'd be a bit of a gimmick but I really do love them and they give such a good effect!

Happy birthday to me...

Wow I've been a terrible blogger recently, just been SO busy! Here's just a quick one to keep you going...


It was my birthday last week and I popped into Birmingham with my Mum and Dad to try and get my birthday present. I didn't really get much (don't know where my shopping mojo was that day!) but I will do a bit of a collective haul to show you what I did purchase over the weekend if I get chance!


I just threw on my trusty New Look denim shorts and Urban Outfitters cross top and of course my white converse...got to be comfy on your birthday!!

Me and the girls went out in Leicester on Saturday to celebrate me being old, and also as an excuse to show off my new 'plum' hair. I was a bit shocked at how dark it looked on my hair considering I'd seen a lot of other people dye their hair the exact same colour and looked so much lighter. I've not had chance to get a decent picture in natural light yet but I'll try and get one before it fades too much!

Whole outfit: Miss Selfridge

Wedges: New look

Jewellery: Everywhere!

Oh yeah and I popped out last night to see one of my friends who'd come back from uni for a few days....unfortunately my fat bum split my original choice of skirt so I threw on an old Topshop body con skirt with my H&M leather jacket, and Primark bow tights/over the knee sock combo...

Again, sorry I've been so rubbish! Hope you're all well!
