OUTFIT POST: KHAKI VEST AND CULOTTES

5 September 2016

Vest: Primark // Culottes : New Look // Sandals: Primark (old) // Sunnies: Primark // Belt: H&M // Watch: Johnny Loves Rosie* // Choker: Johnny Loves Rosie*

Thought i'd share another outfit post with you guys today. This is an outfit I wore last week just for running about running errands. I went to my parents house to take some outfit photos of my Simply Be dress, which you can check out here. I love Khaki and I love how it's that perfect transitional shade from summer to autumn. I love culottes they go with everything but are perfect for the hot muggy weather we've been having. It's September now and Autumn is coming up so this is a great transition outfit, you could easily pop on a pair of pumps and a chunky cardigan for those colder days. I'm looking forward to Autumn but i'm not ready for summer to be over. I'm looking forward to wearing coats again though!

OUTFIT POST: LOVEDROBE DIAMOND PRINT SKATER DRESS

2 September 2016

DRESS: LOVEDROBE AT SIMPLY BE * // BELT: H&M // SANDALS: PRIMARK(OLD) // SUNGLASSES : PRIMARK // CHOKER: JOHNNY LOVES ROSIE * // WATCH: JOHNNY LOVES ROSIE*

Another outfit post!! I've been trying to get back into outfit posts for a little while now. The weathers been lovely recently so there's really no excuse apart from I just haven't had the time.

Today i'm wearing this skater dress from Simply Be, I thought i'd team it with a tan plaited belt and some little tan sandals and think it looks so good. The dress is a light chiffon material and has a black underskirt layer. Simply Be have lots of other plus size skater dresses on their website as well as this one. I have been a huge fan of skater dresses for a long time as they always look flattering on my body shape. I've got big boobs and big legs/bum so think the skater style suits me. I wear a lot more body-con and fitted styles now that i've lost weight but I still feel a skater style suits my shaping. I love the cold shoulder style of this dress and think it's so flattering, I really want to add a few more cold shoulder style tops/ dresses to my wardrobe (late to the bandwagon) I wasn't sure about the colouring of this dress when I un-packaged it however I think it looks so much better on and I think with a decent tan it would look incredible. The colours are actually perfect transition shades and will be perfect for Autumn. You could easily pop a pair of tights and a chunky knit cardigan over the top of this dress and pair it with some suede effect chelsea boots!!

I've popped on another new choker from Johnny Loves Rosie which I love, I think chokers just add a little something to an outfit. I feel it makes the dress more boho style and would be a perfect festival outfit. I'd team the dress with some suede effect cowboy style boots and a tassel bag for that ultimate festival vibe!

OUTFIT POST: RUFFLE OFF THE SHOULDER

1 September 2016

Bodysuit: Simply Be* // Jeans: New Look // Shoes: Primark // Watch: Johnny Loves Rosie * // Belt: Primark // Sunglasses : Quay Australia // Choker: Johnny Loves Rosie*

I wasn't really sure what to wear yesterday as the forecast was cloudy with a chance of rain, so I thought i'd wear my jeans. I've been wanting to wear my new bodysuit from Simply Be and I think it looked great with my skinny jeans.

I had a busy day planned yesterday, I had a pretty chilled morning and got lots of blogging done and then popped into town with Clint to pick up a few bits. I then headed to my cousins house with my mom as it was her birthday and then went to Nandos for dinner with my mom.

I took these photos with Clint at about 2pm and it was rather miserable and windy however the rest of the day was lovely and the sun came out.

I love this ruffle off the shoulder bodysuit and think its so flattering, you could easily dress it up or down depending on what look you were going for. This was a great day to night outfit and was casual enough for visiting my family and then heading out for dinner with my mom on the evening. I knew my new Johnny Loves Rosie choker would look perfect with the off the shoulder top and it looked so good! I love that the gold choker is separate to the black tie choker so you can wear them separately or together. I think a choker just adds a little something to a basic outfit like this. The gold detailing on the choker goes great with my new watch which is also by Johnny Loves Rosie. i've been wearing it so much, it''s such a classic everyday style.

I'm hoping to get back on top of outfit posts as I know I haven't posted one for a little while.

MY BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

12 August 2016

Bardot Top: Topshop // Cami : Topshop // Hairdryer: Dyson // Sponge: Real Techniques // Choker: Johnny Loves Rosie // Becca Palette: Space NK // Birkenstocks : Jones Bootmaker // Watch: Johnny Loves Rosie

My birthday is fast approaching! I'm going to be turning 24, I don't know where the years are going it's just flying by. This is going to be my first birthday since we've had the flat so I don't think our budget will stretch to anything too expensive. I thought i'd put together a wishlist and share a few bits i'd love to get for my birthday this year.

The Dyson hairdryer is out of our price range at just under £300 but would be such an amazing gift but very unrealistic. I love getting new clothes for my birthday, there's a couple of tops in Topshop that have caught my eye. I've wanted the stripe cami for a while now. I might go on a little shopping spree with my birthday money and pick up some new clothes. It would be nice to get some new clothes that actually fit, my wardrobe is full of clothes that are too big for me now. I watched a video about this new Real Techniques Diamond sponge today and it looks amazing. I've been thinking about picking up a make up sponge for a little while now so I might get one with my birthday money and give it ago. I already own a pair of Birkenstocks, i've been wearing them so much at work recently but I want to get a white pair, this pair from the Jones Bootmaker website would be perfect. As you know I went along to the Johnny Loves Rosie blogger event last week, you can read my blog post here. Since then i've been browsing their website as i'm loving their products. In particular I love this watch, I spotted it at the event it's gorgeous and I really want a choker, I love how dainty this one is and it would be perfect with lots of outfits. The Becca Palette is gorgeous and I love how pretty this is. I use my Becca Champagne Pop highlighter every single day so I think this palette would be such a great addition to my collection.

I love putting together wishlists and I know Clint always checks out my wishlists for some inspiration which I think is so cute. I always book a week off for my birthday and we usually go away on holiday but this year I think we are just going to chill together and do a few day trips etc maybe a weekend away so send over some ideas and whats on your wishlists right now?

EVENT: BLOGGERS BREAKFAST AT COTE WITH JOHNNY LOVES ROSIE

11 August 2016

Last week I headed into birmingham bright and early to meet lots of lovely bloggers and the lovely ladies at Johnny Loves Rosie. We headed to Cote Brasserie at the Mailbox to enjoy an amazing breakfast and the sun was out which was amazing.

I've never been to Cote Brasserie before but it was a gorgeous place to have our bloggers breakfast! All of the food looked and tasted amazing and the staff were great too! It's actually on the canal side too and they have seating outside. The breakfast menu looked amazing and everything sounded great I went for the Smoked Salmon and scrambled egg on toast which was sooo good!!

The table was beautifully decorated with flowers and there was a lovely box of goodies for each of us which was so gorgeous. There was lots of lovely bloggers at the event so it was great getting to meet new people and catch up with bloggers i've met before. I had a really great morning.

The lovely ladies from Johnny Loves Rosie had brought over lots of products from the brand for us to try on and have a look at which was great. They stock an amazing selection of clutch bags, watches, chokers and other jewellery too. I loved the chokers, they were all so unique. The watches are gorgeous too! They had these fun ears out too which would be perfect for Halloween. I really liked the clutch bags too. Everything was really good quality and you can see that alot of effort has gone into each piece.

I had such an amazing morning and i'd love to thank Johnny Loves Rosie for inviting me. The brand is so lovely and I love that they are based in Birmingham too which is amazing.
