Boho Maxi




Sunglasses -  £10.00 - River Island
Top - £6.99 - H&M
Skirt - £7 - Miss Selfridge (Sale)
Shoes - £28 - Topshop
Ring - Topshop
Necklace - Kukee

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.

Sunshine and Raybans



Top - £10.00 - Topshop (similar here)
Skirt - River Island (no longer available)
Socks - £3.50 - Topshop
Converse - Turkish market stall
Belt - £1 - Primark
Necklace - Kukee
Raybans - replicas - Turkish market stall



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.

Sunshine, Finally

So this is my first proper outfit post (the photos from my other one were taken months ago!). Since starting the blog I've been dying to start ootd posts, because I think that is mainly what my blog will consist of, but I've literally spent the last 6 days working solid. And my work clothes are not something that would interest any of you, trust me! But today I got to finish at 4pm which was great because the sun was blasting out this afternoon in the highlands.



Top - Topshop - £22 (similar here)
Shorts - Primark - £4
Converse - Schuh - £45

Raybans - replicas from Turkey
Studded hoop earrings - NewLook - £3.50


This outfit is nothing special as all I was going to be doing was walking the dogs around the field and lounging in the garden making the most of the sunshine! I originally bought these shorts a month ago at Primark to take on holiday with me. I definitely got my use out of them as they were great for a bikini cover-up around the pool or on the way to the beach. The pattern is quite unique and the colours are really vibrant. Even now, back in our terrible weather, I just wear them for lounging around the house or on the rare spot of sunshine like today!

This t-shirt is reeeeally old now ... maybe about a year since I bought it. The slouchy fit and understated design make it one of my wardrobe go-to's on a casual day.

So ... let me know what you think!

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 khakinavy 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.

Vera Wang Replica Purse - bought in Turkey
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip Balm - Boots - £2.99
Stila Lip Glaze (55a Fruit Glaze) - bought in TKMaxx 3pack - £8.99
Maybelline ColorSensational (175 Pink Punch) - Boots - £7.19
Nail Glue - Boots
House Keys
Paracetomol

Perfume - Butterfly by Accessorize - Gifted
Bottle of Water
Iphone - case from ebay here - £7.99
Sunglasses - River Island - £10.00
Apple headphones

What do you all keep in your handbag?

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!
