Bundled Up In My Parka Coat

(Coat – Exact ON SALE, Jeans – Similar, Jumper – Similar, Scarf – Similar, Shoes – Exact ON SALE) I have been wanting the perfect parka coat for months, but I hadn’t been able to find one that I thought was just right. I needed a parka coat that was really warm and comfortable, but not too bulky at the same time. I found this gorgeous one by Warehouse when I was looking on ASOS and it’s absolutely perfect! The colour is just right for winter, it has a faux fur and quilted lining, a faux fur hood trim, lots of pockets and drawstrings at the waist so you don’t have to look too boxy. It’s definitely a great coat and it’s actually on sale right now on ASOS, so you can get a great deal on it if you want it (link under main image). It does run quite big though. I took a size UK 6 in it, when I’m usually an 8. The reason for this was because they had sold out of the 8 and I was hoping the size down would work, thankfully it did. I decided to pair my new parka coat with my Koral Los Angeles Merlot skinny jeans and a Topshop leopard print scarf. I love the colour of khaki with burgundy and I think the leopard just adds a little element of fun to the overall outfit. To keep things neutral though, I wore my Zara brown cable knit jumper and my ASH Bowie wedge trainers in Stone. It’s definitely a casual outfit, but it’s really comfortable and it kept the…

Blue Dip Dye Shirt & Vintage Denim Shorts

(Shirt – Similar, Shorts – Exact, Shoes – Exact, Bag – Similar, Watch – Exact) I wore this outfit on Saturday to town as the weather has gotten a little cooler lately. I’ve been able to go back to wearing shirts with sleeves and actual shoes not sandals. This Zara dip dye shirt is one of my favourites and I have worn it numerous times. You may remember it from one of my previous posts and I actually bought the shirt on eBay because it sold out online. It was definitely one of my best purchases as I truly adore it! I remember seeing a very similar dip dye shirt and denim shorts outfit about a year ago on Chiara Ferragni and I was very much inspired to style something the same, but with my twist. I have always adored the combination of denim shorts and hidden heel sneakers/trainers as it’s something I have been wearing often for about a year and a half now. I’m wearing my Zara Dip Dye Shirt, my Vintage Levi’s Denim Shorts, my ASH Bowie Sneakers in Stone, my Mulberry Alexa Clutch in Powder Beige Sparkle Tweed, my Marc by Marc Jacobs Blade Chrono Rose Gold Watch and some various Bracelets from ASOS and Topshop. I haven’t worn this bag in a while actually, but you may remember it from previous posts and the very original post when I first bought it at the Mulberry Factory Shop in Shepton Mallet. It was my very first Mulberry and it still remains one of my favourite bags I have because it’s sparkly and so soft, plus I…

A Mint Shirt With Jeans In The Sunset

(Jeans – Similar, Shirt – Similar, Shoes – Exact, Sunglasses – Exact, Watch – Exact) This is a very simple outfit that I put together on the spur of the moment. As you know I am usually a jeans and t-shirt or jeans and shirt kind of girl as I love the simplicity and ease of wearing them, so this is quite accurate of an outfit I would wear often. I love my hidden heel trainers too, I tend to always wear them when I need something casual, but want that extra height! I’m wearing American Eagle Jeans, a Forever 21 Mint Shirt, Ray-Ban Aviators, my ASH Bowie Trainers/Sneakers in Stone, my Marc by Marc Jacobs Pink Watch and various Bracelets from ASOS, Topshop and some that I have made by myself. One thing you know I always do when I wear a simple and easy outfit though is accessorize! I can’t be without lots of bright jewellery to really jazz it up and take it to the next level. As much as I love casual outfits like this, I really don’t think I could wear them comfortably without some kind of jewellery to liven it up. So, what do you think of the outfit? Comment and let me know!

My Hidden Heel High Top Collection

As promised, here is a post dedicated to my hidden heel high top collection. I sort of became a little bit obsessed with these many months ago and have slowly been buying a few pairs here and there throughout the year. I now have 4 pairs and I am pretty happy with that as I have black, burgundy, camel and beige, so I think I am all set with colours as I have all of the colours I need. They are always my go to when it comes to just grabbing a pair of shoes. They are so comfortable, you don’t even feel the heel at all.

Cute Little Bunnies

(Jeans – Exact, Jumper – Similar, Shoes – Exact, Bag – Similar, Watch – Similar) You may wonder why the leaves in these pictures are green, well the answer to that is because I took them a few months ago, but I completely forgot about them. Since I don’t have an outfit post for today, I thought it would be a good idea to post this one. It’s very fitting since it’s raining today anyway and it was during these photos too. I’m wearing J Brand Jodhpur jeans, a Topshop Bunny jumper, an ASOS neon yellow bag, burgundy t-shirt and rainbow watch and my ASH Bowie wedge trainers. I know I usually wear heels a lot, and more dressier outfits sometimes in my outfit posts, but for casual rainy days I do like to wear simple and easy clothes like this. Granted I am still in a type of heel since these are wedge trainers, but still, I think it counts. I also really love the cuteness of this bunny jumper, I got it a really long time ago when I saw it and had to scoop it up.

My Casual London Style For Press Events

(Jeans – Similar, Jumper – Similar, Jacket – Exact, Shoes – Exact) This is the outfit that I have worn twice now for both my trips to London in the past two weeks. I always like to wear something casual and comfy since I have to do a lot of travelling in the from of trains, taxis and some walking. I took the outfit photos last week when the weather was ok, as yesterday I couldn’t take any due to the heavy rain and winds. I’m wearing my Diesel skinny jeans, a Topshop white jumper and camo army jacket, my Daniel Wellington watch and my ASH Bowie trainers/sneakers. I have included some London scenery photos as I know you guys appreciate it. I have the classic English phone box, St. Pancras Station, London taxis and buses and a couple of photos that I posted on DenimBlog from the Diesel Spring/Summer 2013 press day. If you love London scenery, you can see my photos of Big Ben, the Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, London Eye and more in this post and this post. Anyway, what do you think of the casual look? I get so tired with all of the travelling to London, so I’m glad that I have a two week break before the last one. Also, my shout outs to my top commentors this month go to David, Sarah, Ali, TheHauteCookie and Nora. Thank you so much for leaving me lots of comments! I appreciate all of them!

My Outfit From The Paige & Selfridges Event In London

I know I mentioned to you before, when I made my post about the Selfridges event with Paige in London, that I didn’t have any outfit photos, well I found these from the official event photos and it’s the closest I can get to showing you my outfit. When I’m caught off guard my face seems to look pretty ridiculous as you can see below, ha ha. Anyway, I was wearing my oversized Topshop denim shirt, my Miss Selfridge brown leggings, my ASH Bowie sneakers and my ASOS blue satchel. Sorry that I don’t have anymore photos! At least in the one above, where I was asked to hold up my favourite Paige jeans, you can sort of see from head to toe. You can see more of the official event photos on DenimBlog along with a video here. What do you think? (Follow me on Twitter, Bloglovin and Facebook)

The American Eagle

(Jeans – Similar, Shoes – Similar, Jacket – Similar, Bag – Similar, Umbrella – Similar) This is the outfit I wore last weekend when I went to town with my boyfriend. We tried a place that we hadn’t been before for lunch, Wagamama’s, and I actually really liked it. I had the Chicken Ramen and although I could only eat about half of it because it was so big, it was really nice. Have any of you eaten at Wagamama’s before? I’m wearing my American Eagle skinny jeans, my Topshop PU leather jacket and bag, a H&M white t-shirt and my ASH Bowie sneakers/trainers. These jeans were actually a present from my friend in America for my last birthday. I really love them. I usually like to wear premium denim as it fits me well, but these American Eagle jeans are wonderful! I love them! Also, in some photos I have my Lulu Guinness umbrella up because it kept raining then stopping, then raining then stopping. Hopefully it’s going to stay warm for a while now and we might finally get our summer!
