Been on a bit of a blogging break again! I'm finding it really hard to find the energy to sit down and make the effort to do this after being on a 10 hour shift. I still read all the blogs I follow but its alot more effort to sit and type a post out myself!

Anyway, this is what I wore out on my second night out of my weekend in edinburgh. We went to vodka rev, which turned out to be having a sixties themed night. It was a good laugh.

I picked up this Topshop peplum top on a recent trip to Glasgow. It's so easy and versatile to wear with anything, and I personally find the peplum style really flattering. It pulls you in at the waist and then flares out over your hips. At £18 I'm debating going back and buying more in other colours!

These shorts were a steal in the river island sale (£10!!). As soon as I saw the pattern I was sold. It has a green leafy pattern with gold chain print on some parts. Not that you can see that very well in these pictures, sorry! They're quite short, so I don't have the nerve to wear them without black tights, but they're so cute that I'm OK with that.

To find out more about Kukee jewellery I did a post here on them. Definitely worth a visit to their online shop.

Im gonna go back to watching the closing ceremony now but here's a few extra pictures of my night ...

  

Hope you've all enjoyed your sunday!

Technicolour Shorts

I was away from blogging this weekend, I had a few days off and it was my flatmates 21st so I headed off to Edinburgh for a weekend of fun and games! She thought I wasn't coming until Sunday but I got a late bus there and surprised her. Definitely worth it as it was SUCH a good weekend.

Arriving late Saturday night did mean I was against the clock to get ready before we went out, but I managed! I didn't realise until I wrote it down that everything I had bought was from a sale. I can't say no to a good bargain!

This was the first time I had worn these shorts and I am absolutely in love with them. I can definitely see them becoming a fast wardrobe favourite. High waisted shorts are such a transitional item that can be worn with most things and are so easy to wear. I do find, however, that sometimes when buying them, because they're higher on the waist then they're quite short on the bum. These pair however are a perfect length in my opinon. Not too long but long enough to make sure you're not flashing your bum cheeks to everyone! The pattern and colours of the fabric are gorgeous as well!

Nothing suits a high waisted short better than a cropped top! The lace detail on this one is so delicate and lovely. Adds a girly, but slightly cheeky edge to an outfit. It was my first time wearing this too, but im excited to pair this with my other wardrobe items.

What do you think of this outfit?
