Tie Dye Tumble

Posted by Lorna in Lorna's Style and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , ,

These jeans I got from the Paige Denim press day in London back in November and I love them! I think they are so much fun! I think pairing them with neutrals is the way forward because they are so bold on their own, you don’t want to over power them. I can definitely see myself wearing these more in the Spring and Summer, they will definitely be fun jeans for the warmer weather!

I’m wearing my Paige Verdugo jeggings in Tumble, a Topshop cream jumper/sweater, wooden fish necklace and Leo stone ring and my Kurt Geiger nude Eleanor heels.

I think the next time I plan on wearing these will be with my black leather style jacket and some black heels. I think that will work as well and give them more of an edge. I did a review of these on DenimBlog a little while ago and I said that I never thought red, purple and orange would work well together, but I think these jeans prove that those colours do go very well! What do you think of them? They have since been spotted on Heidi Klum and Poppy Delevingne.

The Pink Blazer

Posted by Lorna in Lorna's Style and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , ,

What usually happens with me, when it comes to clothes, is I have something in my wardrobe that I had a year or so ago and haven’t worn in ages, then I pull it out again and seem to wear it quite a few times. Case in point, my pink blazer. I just love how it fits and how bright it is. It really brightens up any outfit and it goes with any blue jeans!

I’m wearing my Zara pink blazer, myMiH Vienna jeans, an ASOS long sleeved top, a Topshop cream scarf, Urban Outfitters loafer wedges and my Marc by Marc Jacobs Percy bag in Berry Haze.

I am so eager for Spring to finally be here. Summer is the best part of the year and I can’t wait for it to start getting warmer in Spring so I can wear my floral dresses and denim shorts. I get cold so easily so I love the heat! It doesn’t really make sense that I live in England since I really dislike cold weather, ha ha! So what do you think of the outfit? Do you like it?

Vintage Tigers Eye & Pastel Orange

Posted by Lorna in Lorna's Style and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I got sent these cargo pants by Trilogy because I was doing a guest post for their blog as DenimBlog (which you can see here) and I like the outfit so much, I wanted to share it with all of you. These are my second Houlihan pants, I still have the Vintage Olive pair from 2010, but I really love the wash of these Vintage Tigers Eye pair! I think they are gorgeous! Especially as orange is the colour of Spring 2012, I loved mixing it up and ending up with a pastel orange look.

I’m wearing the J Brand Houlihan cargo pants in Vintage Tigers Eye, a Topshop cream blazer, orange Sakura heels, peach tank top, orange spotty purse and fish rings, Miss Selfridge bangles and a H&M orange feather necklace.

It was actually freezing in the park when we took these photos, you can tell by how red my hands are in the photos, ha ha. Sometimes being a blogger is tough work when you have an outfit you want to make work and the weather isn’t being so cooperative! What do you think of my outfit? As always you can see more photos if you click this post. Also, how adorable is the little squirrel that popped in to say hello in one of my photos! I love animals and their inquisitive nature!

Pink Valentine

Posted by Lorna in Lorna's Style and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

So here is the rest of my outfit that I wore for Valentines Day. My boyfriend and I went out to lunch and we exchanged gifts at home, I love the little things he got me! I thought an all pink outfit would be really appropriate since pink is my favourite colour and Valentines is all about love! It just made sense!

My pink outfit consists of my M2F pink skinny jeans, my Zara pink blazer, my Topshop knitted cream jumper/sweater and rainbow necklace, ASOS white long sleeved top and neon pink watch, my new Mulberry pink denim Lily, my pink Azendi Carousel ring and my River Island taupe ankle boots.

I also wanted to take this posts opportunity to say thank you to my wonderful boyfriend. Thank you for taking my photos for my blog, for always being there for me, keeping me warm when I get cold (which is often), making sure I am ok when we are out, always thinking of me, looking after me when I need it, knowing me better than I know myself… The list could go on, but I wont, I will keep it short. I’m glad there is a day in the year where we can celebrate love! So what do you think of my all pink outfit?

My New Mulberry Candy Pink Quilted Denim Lily

Posted by Lorna in Bags and tagged with , , , , ,

You might remember that I fell in love with this bag, the Mulberry Candy Pink Quilted Denim Lily, back in September 2011 when I saw it on Eliza Doolittle, which I then made a post about in October (here). This bag literally combines everything I love! Denim, pink, denim, a small bag, pink, denim, cross body bag, pink, denim… You get my drift!

Denim is my favourite fabric, as you know since I live in jeans, and making it pink and in my favourite Mulberry bag, the Lily, it’s just perfect! Since I saw it, I started saving because I knew I would really want it. Also it helps since it’s not made of leather, so I knew it would be cheaper than most Mulberry bags I can’t afford and as a plus it doesn’t have the potent leather smell! I am literally in love with this bag and I couldn’t wait to share it with you all! Also, the modelled photos are from an outfit I will be posting soon! What do you think of it?

Be My Valentine – Pink & Red Finds

Posted by Lorna in Fashion Finds and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mulberry Candy Pink French Purse.

Since Valentines Day is right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to put a little post together of the things I like and think are appropriate for Valentines Day! Keeping with the theme of pink and red (for romance and love of course) I have piled together loads of items that I found online. Some are very cheap while others are quite expensive. I like to include a mix.

I personally would love everything in this list! Especially the Mulberry purse above, the Ksubi pink jeans, the Christian Louboutin Pigalle Platos, the glittery nail polish and the Azendi love birds necklaces! Just as a clue to one of my upcoming posts next week, I recently received a parcel in the mail and it contains one of these pink items… That’s all I will say! Maybe some of you regular readers will guess it! It’s something I have wanted for a long time and saved for…

Things That Make Me Smile During Winter

Posted by Lorna in Lorna and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , ,

An adorable heart shaped water bottle that I got from my boyfriend last year. I can’t be without water bottles! I get so cold.

I thought I would put together a little post of the things that make me smile and keep me cosy during the Winter months! There are a mix of things, obviously not everything is listed, but some of the important ones are. What keeps you smiling during Winter?

Amazingly cosy slipper boots which I just got this morning as a gift from DearFoams. They are so warm! Slippers are a must for me, I always have cold feet. I love thick socks as well, I own quite a few and wear them everyday.

Books! I love lying in bed at night, snuggled up, reading books. I’m currently obsessed with the Twilight series and I can’t get enough of it!

My mums home made vegetable soup. I love it so much! It’s delicious! It has carrots, broccoli, pearl barley and potatoes.

The first sign of Spring! I spotted these daffodils just springing on the weekend. There is nothing like hope, knowing Spring and Summer are around the corner!

Cosy pyjamas! I have a lot of pyjamas, but I really like the thicker bottoms with fun prints like these ones with foxes!

Adorable Christmas Mulberry packaging! I usually love Mulberry’s gift wrapping, but at Christmas time it was so cute with the jingle bells and ribbon.

Cat cuddles! Who can say no to sleepy cat cuddles? I love snuggling up with kitties more than most things. I’m a huge animal lover, especially kitties!
