WHEN THE SUN SET: OOTD...

Hello all! It's been a pretty hectic few days - what first week back to school and not forgetting that I TURNED 18 ON TUESDAY!!!!! (which I still haven't got used to). As my new years resolution finally got the 'no no' (several slices of birthday cake later), I thought I'd post little outfit of the day featuring my lovely birthday present off my fab friends!

I couldn't have asked for a better 18th birthday, I had chance to see family and friends over the weekend at my party, and the day itself was well spent eating my favourite foods and sipping red wine (like the adult I am) while watching every chick flick possible with my mom and sister! My parents gave me a stunning antique ring with my birthstone in for my birthday, and are kindly paying for my exotic - exotic as it can be on my budget -holiday with my favourite girlie's!

Today's outfit was centred around my lovely new purchase from New Look. The dress is a black and white lace detailed dress, which shifts over an under layer. I loved the length as its perfect for a day out somewhere, and it because the material was so lightweight the ends floated in the wind! Because the pattern is so detailed, I could be a bit lazy and get away with simple accessories! I wore it with a George green cardigan, my all time favourite brogues and charity shop purchase handbag. I also tweaked my hair in a little experiment, by putting half back in a bobble, then sweeping the pony tail back through the centre of my hair to create a twisted look.

Talking of birthday presents, one of my favourite surprises was this lovely Daniel Wellington wrist watch. I've wanted a brown leather watch to keep me in time (kind of) for so long, so I was overjoyed when I opened the present, knowing my friends had all contributed to buy it for me! It has a gold framed ring with Swarovski stones on the face and brown leather strap - and called the 'Classy Cardiff' if you wanted to take a look at the watches for yourself. It's also water resistant - which means someone definitely had blonde's like myself in mind when designing it! All in all it was a fab purchase by my friends, who no longer have to cope with me asking the time every 5 minutes - so thank you girls!

That's all from me today - I need to get my ass into gear and start getting ready for another friends 18th tonight, and at the moment I'm heading there in my onesie!

Have a lovely weekend!

Outfit post: Oasap Shirt Dress

Hello! Hope you're having a lovely weekend wherever you are. The sun has been out today (which makes a change from all the rain this week), so I took the opportunity to take a few photos of my latest purchase from Oasap!

I've been looking for a while for a little dress to wear for something casual during the day. I chose this little number as it looked adorable on the Oasap website. I particularly liked the collared shirt as I knew it would look great with a woolly jumper over it. The dress came up quite large for a size Medium, and could have brought it in a small, but the thin brown belt that came with it helped to shape the dress. For this look I wanted to go minimalistic, so I covered up with a teal blue cardigan from New Look and wore my favourite Clark's brogues. My necklace was brought a few weeks ago from Primark, and I felt it added the finishing touches to the dress.

What I'm Wearing: Dress - Oasap, Cardigan - New Look, Bag - Charity Shop.

That's all from me today. I'm eagerly anticipating the season finale of Downton Abbey this evening - as you know my love of period drama's never changes, so I can't wait to see how it ends!

Lots of Love,

OOTD; Florals in Autumn..

Hello, it's been a quite half term for me so far, however my excitement for HARRY POTTER STUDIOS next week cannot be contained!

Today's post is a little outfit I put together for 6th form, but thought I'd share it with you anyhow. I recently brought a floral dress (yes in Autumn!) from Dorothy Perkins, for an Autumn wedding I was singing for, however I've formed an attachment with its beautiful colours! 

 

I wore the dress with a green blazer from H&M, which really brought out the autumn colours of deep purple in the dress and one of my many pairs of brogues! The dress comes in several styles and patterns, and is so comfortable to wear. This dress was around £18, which I think was a great price considering the amount of wear I've had out of it!

What I'm Wearing: Dress - Dorothy Perkins, Blazer - H&M, Brogues - Clarks, Necklace - Top Shop, Belt - Primark.

Well that's all from me for now, might put a sneaky halloween post up later!
Lots of Love,

Who said a girl could ever, have too many pairs of shoes?

AW12 is just around the corner, and although designer brands are still releasing 'what's hot', here's my own favourites, already on offer on the high-street for us budget fashionista's!

So sit back, and enjoy, as I show you into the world of shoes! X
