Date Night OOTD.

Yankees was calling me and my other half today, so we decided to go out to dinner. I haven't been 'dressed up' in a while recently so I called it an official date. I teamed my trusty PU leggings and Jeffrey Campbell 'Lita' boots with a wine coloured blazer and cream accessories. It was actually a really cute outfit and dinner was so yummy! 

This is the blazer (Primark, £17) that I wore over a simple cream cami. I wore it with the cream scarf from my last Primark Haul. The necklace is also a new Primark purchase, only £2!

Without the scarf, it looks pretty dressy. This is a perfect smart-casual look for me.

I wore my PU leggings (surprise, surprise!) with this look. You can see in this picture I added a studded gold belt (Primark, £2) and the studded bracelet (Primark, £3) which I seem to be wearing everyday at the minute! It's so cute yet adds a real edge.

I wore my Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots tonight. I love them. They're so comfy and easy to walk in. And when you're only 5ft 5" and you other half is over 6 foot, it comes in handy to have big heels! I forgot to take a picture but I wore a cream handbag that I got in Topshop last year with it. 

#blogmas. Day Eight.

I had such a lazy Saturday today!

I' m wearing my Where's Wally tee today. I wasn't doing anything special so it was the perfect time to wear it.

Obviously it got paired with a pair of PU leggings and I wore my hidden heel high tops with it. Accessorised with a gold studded belt and my spikes bracelet from my recent Primark haul. I wore my parka with it too. It was the perfect outfit for a day like today.

We went down to the  Christmas Market at the country estate we live on. It was freezing but actually really good. I have an Angus cheese burger and a massive piece of brownie for my lunch.

I also found this! It's a print from one of the designers I love. I have a few of their prints now, all together on a shelf. I love this one and I guess it is a life Christmas yy. This one is Malcolm and his bird.

Last night was pretty bad so I need some me time.  I'm thinking a nice bath,some chocolate and an early night. 

Primark Haul ft OOTD.

As I mentioned, I wanted to get a loose knit cream jumper to wear with my gold PU leggings I got in my last Primark Haul. I popped out Monday evening and ended up back in Primark - their stock changes so much you have to be there everyday! I found exactly what I wanted and I also got a sheer shirt for underneath it and a cute scarf so this is officially a sneaky Primark haul too. I haven't decided what boots (I want boots!) to wear with the gold leggings yet so this time I've stuck to black. This is also my first time using actual pictures to do an OOTD post so please bear with me while I get used to it!

The cream jumper is exactly what I was looking for. It's light weight and will be great in the Spring months too. I bought it in the size bigger so it would be a loose fitting one and I think it looked really good that way. I didn't want to over accessorise  this outfit so I haven't got a necklace on. The jumper is from Primark and is available now for only £8.

Under the jumper I am wearing this sheer shirt that I picked up - and a cream cami under that. It's a lovely shirt, half button down with gold buttons. It's again quite a loose fit but I bought it in the right size so it would look good under the jumper. I think it would look great on it's own too. It was £10 from Primark, available now.
















On my bottom half I am wearing a pair of black PU leggings and my black studded pumps which I bought off eBay. For the evening, I'll change into my JC Litas.

For accessories, I am wearing the bracelet and the ring that I purchased in my last Primark haul - note not on the same hand! The scarf was another today Primark buy. It was only £4 and the liked the shimmer on it, a lot nicer than a flat cream scarf. My only question now is, how much cream is too much?

I also have Essie Vanity Fairest on the nails and MAC Marquise D' on the lips.

Primark Haul!

This isn't something I usually do - haul my clothing and accessories, but I picked up a few little bits in Primark this weekend that I wanted to share with you. They're all really nice pieces at an even nicer price. I find that Primark is pretty hit and miss - sometimes you can buy half the shop and sometimes it's a disaster.

 

 

 

This gold studded belt is a great piece. I'm looking forward to wearing this against black jeans or PU leggings to add a little something. It's a great colour - not too in your face. At only £2 it's also a complete bargain. I'm sorry for now many times I say that in this blog post.

 

 

 

Recognise these? They are super similar to my bargain 80p market earrings but these drop cross earrings are just a touch bigger and a little heavier so they're a bit easier to wear as a statement piece - which I will be doing. The are a yellow gold so they'll go well with... well, the rest of what I bought today! Did I mention they were only £1?

 

 

 

Isn't this gold studded ring just beautiful. It's big, it's flash and it's bloody beautiful. A real statement piece. As you can see it was only £2 and it's probably worth more than that as scrap metal - it's so heavy! It's a real easy piece to just put on and glam an outfit up.

 

 

 

This is the same as the ring above. It's a really big, heavy piece. On elastic, it's easy to wear and also will glam up an outfit in a second. This studded bracelet, at only £3 it's a fabulous piece. It's the same gold as the ring and earrings too! I seriously adore this bracelet and cannot wait to wear it!

 

I also bought 2 pairs of PU (leather look) leggings; a black pair and a gold pair too. I'm not 100% when I'll wear the gold pair but I was thinking with an all black outfit, they're look fabulous!



Bargain Oversized Jumpers.

I have been loving wearing my obligatory PU leggings with an oversized jumper - seeing as though the temperature has dropped a silly amount over the last few days. I wanted some warmer jumpers - apparently style does come above comfort. These very loose knit jumpers look super cute but really, you'd be better wearing a tshirt. I found 2 jumpers the other day that were super cheap (one a Primark bargain) and there was a huge choice. My secret? Wear mens!

The first jumper I found was while walking through a local market where I go for the farm stalls. I noticed a cable knit jumper in a nice army green - if such thing exists. It was on a normal clothing stall but its pretty similar to a fisherman's jumper available from army stores. They were men's jumpers and I picked up a small. I usually wear a size 8 (UK) on the top half and a small men's is about a size 12, so it is a little bigger. But just enough bigger. I love the fit and obviously the style and colour. It looks fabulous with PU leggings, my LV Speedy and some gold jewellery. And the best bit? It was only £6!

My second jumper was from Primark but also from the men's section. Its a gorgeous maroon colour with lighter flecks in it. And it has elbow patches. Yes. Elbow patches. It is fabulous. Also in a small it's also a great fit! It's a hell of a lot warmer than the women's ones available for the same price range - £10.

Delilah, Foundation Update and OOTD.

Muy best friend in the world, Tim, is a tour manager. He's currently on tour with Deliliah who, I admit, I haven't paid much attention to her. And as much as she isn't my cup of tea on paper, she was amazing. She has a fabulous voice but she looked so at ease on ease it was hard to see her anywhere else except entertaining a crowded room of people who obviously adored her. You can a lot about an artist by the atmosphere at a gig and the atmosphere at The Plug, Sheffield was electric. I am easily now a fan.

As I was getting ready to go out the show, I had decided to wear my MAC Studio Fix Fluid. As much as I am loving my YLS Le Teint Touche Eclat, the application is great but the wear is a little disappointing. When I'm coming home from work or being out for the day my skin looks dreadful. So I took a huge step for mankind and went back to my MAC. This was a wise choice. After 6 hours, a hot and sweat room and a lot of laughing I got home to perfect make up. Why, oh why do you not make lighter shades, MAC? I'm still wearing my YSL during the days because I am still in love with the shade and the application of it. But it seems I am still on the hunt for the perfect foundation.

I haven't posted an outfit of the day on here for a while either, so  here is what I wore that night.

At the moment I am loving wearing a shirt buttoned right to the top with this collar pin in. It gives the look of a necklace but looks really good against a demin or lumberjack shirt. I wore this with PU leggings and my hidden heel high tops. Over the top, my leopard print faux-fur coat and accessoried with gold drop cross earrings and my Michael Kors.
