My Diesel Analogic Metallic Rainbow Flare Watch

Diesel Analogic Metallic Rainbow Flare DZ5428 Watch Now this watch… where do I even begin? All you need to do is just look at it and it needs no explanation to how amazingly gorgeous it is. I first saw this Diesel Analogic Flare DZ5428 Watch when I was in London at the beginning of this month and as soon as I walked past the window and saw it staring at me, I was smitten. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford it at the time as I had just purchased my Celine Nano Luggage in Dune as you know, so I went home and couldn’t get it off my mind. When something is as beautiful as this though, that’s almost impossible… I didn’t anticipate that this Diesel watch would be almost impossible to find though. It was sold out almost everywhere and that made me worry, thinking I would never be able to find it, but then I came across the store Klepsoo from Italy and saw that they had this watch and I jumped for joy. What’s more is that this lovely company liked my blog, so it was a match made in heaven! So now I can actually finally share with you all why this Diesel Analogic Flare Watch is as pretty as I say, while it’s on my wrist! You probably already know how much I love watches and my collection has continued to grow hugely, but I think I can safely say, this one is now one of my absolute favourites. The size is 38mm so it’s a great size for my wrist, but it’s also suited to a…

Double Denim With Nude & Beige

(Jeans – Similar, Shirt – Similar, Coat – Similar, Sweater – Similar, Shoes – Exact & Similar) I really hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and Boxing Day! It’s been really nice to have so much free time to be able to do things I don’t usually have the time for. Plus, I’ve definitely been taking advantage of the amazing sales going on right now! I’ve managed to scoop up the glitter flats I wanted on Jimmy Choo for 40% off and I managed to get some blazers, sweaters and things on Zara in the sale! I love this time of year for shopping! There’s always so many amazing Winter pieces you can get! Speaking of winter outfits, I’ve been thinking a lot lately that I should try out a roll neck sweater. I’ve never really liked them in the past as I feel like you have to be slimmer up the top to wear them, but I’ve been looking around and have seen some really nice slouchy ones, especially the ones made of cashmere on Peter Hahn, they look slouchy and comfortable. What’s your thoughts on a roll neck sweater? I’m pretty sure you will be seeing me in one very soon, if I decide I like how they look on me that is! Anyway, getting to this outfit, we shot these photos back at the end of October, early November actually, as I’m sure you can tell by the Autumn leaves in the photos. I never got around to posting the look until now, but it’s definitely a little more preppy than I usually go for. I…

It’s A Woodland Creature Thing

(Jacket – Similar, Jeans – Similar, Top – Exact, Shoes – Similar, Necklace – Similar, Watch – Exact) We took these photos a few weeks ago as I was reviewing these Diesel Grupee Jogg Jeans, but I didn’t get around to posting them yet. I decided to pair the jeans with my Woodland Blazer that I got from Choies last year as I still love the print on it so much. It’s adorable! I kept things fairly simple with my shoes, opting for my Topshop Gabbi Nude Heels and then went with my Olivia Burton Humming Bird Watch, some various bracelets and my brand new Marc by Marc Jacobs Flap Percy in Coral. I have been trying to be good lately and not buy many clothes as I still have so many pieces from last Summer that I didn’t really wear that much. I have bought a couple of tops on eBay, but I sort of allow that since they were super cheap! I’m always looking around for vouchers and discount codes too to get the most out of my orders and try and save money. VoucherBin is a pretty good site for that as they often share really great discounts that you can get online. Who doesn’t like savings? I sure do! In other news, thank you so much for all of the support towards The Jeans Blog. It’s been absolutely incredibly and in the little amount of time that it’s been live (10 days) it’s had over 1000 views already. I’m over the moon! I also wanted to say that I really appreciate all of the votes you…

Braving The Rain In Navy

(Jeans – Exact, Blazer – Exact, Wellies – Exact, Scarf – Exact) Firstly I’m going to start this post by saying please do excuse my hair here! As you know from me saying time and time again, it’s just so windy and rainy here all the time now, it’s sort of become difficult to take my photos not in the rain. So yeah, my hair is damp and frizzy from the wet and the wind, which is why it looks a complete state, ha ha. I did have my big parka coat on as well with the hood up and buttoned up to the top, to keep me warm and dry, but it didn’t look so good for the photos, which is why I took it off. I’m wearing my new Zara Navy Blue Blazer which I got in the sale a couple of weeks ago. It has the most amazing burgundy elbow patches which I think really make the jacket! It’s really traditional since it’s a wool blazer, but I feel like the colour combination of it just makes it current and modern. I paired the blazer with my Diesel Skinzee Skinny Jeans as I love pairing dark navy blue with lighter blue, to keep the colour theme, but give it a contrast. Of course I had to wear my trusty Hunter Original Tall Navy Gloss Wellies again as I pretty much can’t leave the house without them at the moment and then I threw on my new Zara Burgundy and Navy Scarf for warmth. I also picked this up in the sale for a great price and it’s…

It’s A Boyfriend Jean Kind Of Lazy Day

(Jeans – Similar, Top – Similar, Belt – Exact, Shoes – Exact, Watch – Exact, Bracelets – Similar) Those of you who know me will know that comfort plays a huge role in my outfits. I don’t have a high tolerance level and if something is irritating me or being painful, I tend to get grouchy and annoyed and don’t want to wear it. This is the reason that I don’t often wear my Christian Louboutin shoes anymore and I opt for more comfortable boots and heels. This outfit here, which I shot last weekend, really is as comfortable as it gets for me. Boyfriend jeans, a simple t-shirt and flat shoes. Sometimes this kind of outfit can look incredibly sloppy though, so the key is finding the right fits and styles for your shape. I recently fell in love with Diesel Fayza boyfriend jeans and bought a pair from the Diesel outlet a few weeks ago, but I walked into TK Maxx about two weeks ago and saw they had these Diesel Fayza jeans on the rack, in my size, for only £24.99! I didn’t even try them on, I just took them straight to the till to purchase them and I am so happy that I found them! They are incredibly comfortable and the one thing I love about the Fayza fit is the dropped crotch. Sometimes it can make your legs look short, but somehow on the Fayza cut it doesn’t do that at all. These are just pure comfort and I can’t wait to wear them more for press days and travelling! I wanted to go…

Casual Sundays

(Jeans – Similar, Jumper – Exact, Shoes – Exact, Bracelets – Exact, Exact & Exact) I wore this outfit today for a casual Sunday. It’s been a while since I wore boyfriend jeans, but I find them so comfortable and this pair is actually flattering at the same time in my opinion, so I am more than happy to wear them. As it’s spring now, I thought the mint colour would compliment the light blue wash of the jeans and I kept my shoes natural. I’m wearing Diesel Staffy Jeans, my Topshop Mint Jumper, my TOMS in Natural and some bracelets from River Island and ASOS. As you know I love accessories, especially jewellery, I always love to jazz up my casual and comfy looks with over the top jewellery like I did here, just to give it that something extra. On another note, the voting closes very soon for the Bath in Fashion blogger awards and the winner will be chosen on Thursday at the fashion show. I still need more votes so I would really appreciate it if you could vote for me by clicking here. What do you think of the outfit?

Diesel Skinzee Jeans With A Sprig Of Mint

(Jeans – Exact, Jumper – Exact, Heels – Similar, Necklace – Exact, Ring – Similar) Over the past few months I’ve started getting a bit of an obsession with mint. I used to wear it in the summer last year, but this year my feelings for the shade are even stronger. I think it’s so refreshing and so pretty, it makes any outfit look chic and put together in my opinion. I picked up this mint jumper a few weeks ago and thought that it would go perfectly with some of my lighter washed jeans and suprisingly, mint doesn’t even wash out my skin tone either! I’m wearing Diesel Skinzee Jeans, a Mint Jumper, Gabbi Metal Toe Cap Heels in Nude and a Gold Cross Pendant from Topshop and an unbranded Turtle ring. I got these Diesel Skinzee jeans from Zalando as they sent them to me as a gift to style on my blog and review on DenimBlog. I had been eying these jeans for some time now, ever since I knew Diesel was bringing out a jegging in their collection, and I think this wash is super pretty! So I want to say thank you to Zalando for that! I hope you are all having a lovely week so far and looking forward to the long weekend for Easter! I know I am! So, what do you think of the outfit?
