Hi guys! Another day off of work today! Felt good to have 2 days off, work 2 days and then have another 2 days off! Its only a few weeks until I move back to Edinburgh so I'm frantically trying to sort everything out! 

So I didn't do much today, just enjoyed the rest of the sunshine. I picked this skirt up from Miss Selfridge in the Autumn sales last year, and this is only about the 3rd time I've worn it. Don't know why! You can't tell that well from the pictures but the flowery layer is slightly sheer and there's a short black bodycon underlayer. Sets it aside a bit from your usual maxi skirt! 

The Topshop studded shoes were a christmas present from Joe and I love them. They are suede though so they're looking a bit worse for wear now where I have scuffed them, but they still add an edge to most outfits. They are so comfortable and at £28 I think they are really reasonably priced for what you get.

Had a day off of work on Sunday for what felt like the first time in ages! The sun was still out so I was able to get my pale wee legs out. I spent the day with Joe, sunbathing in the garden and having lunch at the pub. 

Anyway, onto the outfit .... I've had this skirt for a while now and I love it! I saw it on a mannequin when I was walking into River Island but they didn't have it in my size on the rail. So of course I pestered one of the shop staff to check the mannequin and give me the skirt off of that. Such a hassle for them (sorry!) but worked out well for me! I think it was only about £20 because I remember thinking it was a really reasonable price for a River Island skirt. I love it on but haven't worn it that much. I keep forgetting its in my wardrobe. I need to sort that out! 

The t-shirt is just one of Topshops basic range. Brilliant colour and shape. It's so easy to throw on with anything - skirts, shorts and jeans. Its got a kind of mottled effect on it, so some parts are see through and some aren't. If that makes any sense! 

This is Joe getting in on the blogger posing action. You can find him here.

Simple Peplum

Peplum Top -£18 - Topshop
Shorts - £10 - River Island Sale

Necklace & gold bangle - Kukee
Watch - £25 - River Island
Skull bangle - Topshop

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.

Top - River Island - £12 (sale)
Shorts - Topshop - £15 (sale)

Bangles - Topshop, Miss Selfridge

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?

What's in my bag?

I saw a post like this on All Of Her Yesterday's blog, and took inspiration from her to do the same! I've only just started following her but she's got a great blog, go check it out!

I bought this mint bowler style bag from Topshop a few months ago. They don't have this colour online anymore but they do have this style in khaki, navy and tan. For only £36 you get a really good quality leather bag, and it's so roomy inside! Plenty of space for all the rubbish i usually end up lugging around in my bag with me! Typical girl problem I think.

Monochrome Stripes

Leggings - Ebay

Shirt - H&M

Cardigan - Primark

Blazer - Zara

Necklace - Topshop

Sunglasses - River Island

This is just an outfit I threw on to go to uni, quite a while ago now! I love these leggings, but I got them fairly cheap off of ebay and they're quite thin and the white stripes are really see-through. Means I have to always make sure my bum is covered, which I tend to do anyway when it comes to leggings! Nothing worse in my opinion than leggings worn as trousers! 

I snapped these sunglasses up when i saw them in River Island. I'd been wanting a circular pair for aaages and at £10 thought these were really reasonably priced. Have to admit I've not really worn them as much as I'd have liked, but I'm going to blame our rubbish British summer for that!
