LIFESTYLE: POPPYFIELD PHOTOSHOOT

12 June 2020

Outfits: Amelia- Dress ; Next Cardigan - M&S Me- Dress: New Look Cardigan: Primark

We went along to this beautiful poppy field the other day and took some photos of Amelia. We love being outdoors and it was nice to wander around the field and get some nice photos of us all. I think we are all getting so bored of lockdown now and i'm trying to plan little trips out but it's so hard when places aren't fully open or don't have toilets. Amelia is potty trained so we've been bringing her potty out with us but it's hard to be out for longer than a couple of hours. We have a couple of National Trust days out booked for next week which i'm looking forward to. The weather is hopefully going to pick up a bit next week too so we might be able to go round and chill in my moms garden.

OUTFIT POST: LEOPARD PRINT MIDI SKIRT

5 March 2019

SKIRT: BOOHOO // JACKET: NEW LOOK // TOP: NEW LOOK // BOOTS:

We headed into Birmingham today for lunch at Bodega, see my full review here... Afterwards we went to Cannon Hill Park and took Amelia to the Wildlife Center and then visited my nan's grave before heading over to see my Grandad so busy day!

I thought i'd wear my new leopard print skirt from Boohoo! I've been loving my polka dot midi skirt from Primark and really wanted to get another one that was similar. I spotted this one on Boohoo and thought it would be perfect as it's petite and i'm quite short and sometimes find midi length things a little too long. It was an absolute bargain too, only £13.50 so I just had to get it!

It was a little nippy so I popped my leather jacket on and kept it simple with a little Black top and my Black boots. I think the skirt would look so good with a cute slogan tee or even with a jumper tucked in.

Clint and I are both off for the rest of the week so I'm hoping to have another outfit post up later in the week!

PREGNANCY: AUTUMN STROLLS IN THE PARK

9 October 2017

Dress: New Look Maternity

Bag: Accessorize

Necklace: Lovisa

Boots: Primark

We decided to go for a little stroll in the park today, I really wanted to get some photos of the bump now shes getting bigger. We only have about 4 weeks left so it won't be around for much longer.

We picked some conkers and had a nice slow walk around the park. My mom got me this dress from the New Look maternity range, I think it was actually in the sale. It's such a comfy dress but you could easily dress it up or down. I think it looks so cute with my leopard print bag from Accessorize.

I spent this week getting bubba's clothes washed and ready for her arrival. Clint has put the Next To Me up so thats ready and my bags are pretty much all packed and ready to go. We have transferred our care to a different hospital this week. We live pretty much in the middle of two hospitals and because we were having alot of scans and appointment it was easier to just leave it at the one thats slightly closer even though I wanted to have her at the other hospital. Our growth scans have been going really well and she's now above the line ( she was hovering on the line previously) we have one more growth scan so we managed to get all swapped over. They were also talking about us possibly having a C-section but I don't think this is the case now, I think we are going to be left to go into labour naturally which i'm so happy about.

The back pain is real and i've been struggling over the last few weeks. I'm so glad I finished work when I did, I've had a couple of weeks holiday and last week was my first week of maternity leave. It's been nice to relax and not worry about getting everything done because I know I have time. I've been watching Gossip Girl on Netflix and watching lots of youtube videos. I haven't blogged as much as i'd liked but my motivation hasn't been great. I've been feeling really hungry and exhausted over the past few days. The heartburn is still here and very uncomfortable. I've also been having some braxton hicks and lightning pains so I think shes getting ready for her arrival. So i've found the last few weeks hard as i'm struggling to get comfy. I'm still sleeping pretty well, a good 8-9 hours a night and just get up about 3/4 times for the toilet.

We are both very excited for her arrival, i'm so excited to have Clint at home with me for a few weeks. We are just making the most of the next few weeks together. We've just been out for some food and we plan to go the cinema later in the week and I want to go on a few more walks together.

OUTFIT: RED CHECK SCARF AND ROCKET DOG BOOTS

26 January 2017

JACKET: PRIMARK // TOP: PRIMARK // JEANS: NEW LOOK //

SCARF: ZARA // BOOTS: ROCKET DOG BOOTS*

It's been freezing this week! We had some running around to do. I went and took these photos yesterday and had some food shopping today and went round to my moms to see her and my sister. I just spent the afternoon blogging and chilling out with Clint as it's our day off. I bought this scarf the other day from Zara it was in the Sale. It's really big and comfy and I think it looks so good with my faux leather jacket, I only got this Jacket recently from Primark it was a bargain only £14! I think it looks alot more expensive! I teamed it up with this black top from Primark and my favourite black skinny jeans from New Look. I also wore my new Black boots from Rocket Dog. They are these gorgeous ankle boots that are faux suede and really comfortable, I wore them all day! They would be great from day to night as you can easily dress them up or down.

What have you been up to this week? Do you like my new ankle boots from Rocket Dog at Brantano?

FASHION: AUTUMN/ WINTER WISHLIST

3 October 2016

It's officially Autumn ! I thought i'd share my wishlist. There's some really gorgeous pieces out there at the moment. I'm loving Khaki right now so you can see there is a few khaki items in my wishlist. The khaki jumper is a bargain at £9.99 from New Look and you can team it with so many different outfits, black skirt, jeans or a cord skirt for a perfect autumn outfit idea. I really like this cold shoulder shirt too, it's available in a few colours. I think it would look great with some leggings as a transitional piece. How cute are these Clarks boots from Brantano, I love tan ankle boots in the winter, you can wear them with everything, a little black dress and tights or with a pair of skinny jeans and your favourite jumper. These look so cosy and comfy and would be perfect for work. I love these brushes from Spectrum, I have lots of spectrum brushes in my collection but these are beautiful. A must have for any beauty lover. They come in this awesome bag as well!! This cosy hat and scarf are both from H&M, it's getting much colder now especially in the mornings. I have a new coat for the winter but need to pick myself up a new hat and scarf, this scarf from H&M is only £7.99 and looks so good!! It's so so soft and will look amazing with my new coat. This embroidered bag is from new look and a perfect on trend item. Embroidered patches are really on trend right now, they are all over the high street. I've spotted some really cute jackets and this shirt from New Look is gorgeous. I went into Swarovski the other day for the first time and fell in love with so many things. These earrings and this stack ring is just a couple of things that caught my eye. And finally, the whole Zoella Lifestyle range is on my wish list, I just want everything but I have so many candles and diffusers already, the whole range is beautiful and I see myself picking up a few bits as i've spotted the range in my local Boots and Superdrug.

Whats on your Autumn/ Winter wishlist?

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!

FASHION: SUMMER WEDDING OUTFIT IDEAS

14 July 2016

With the summer upon us and the school holidays are about to start and so is summer wedding season. I thought i'd put together some outfit ideas for him and her.

I love dressing up for a wedding, it's an excuse to go and and buy and whole new outfit. I picked out some pretty summery dresses. Pastels are always a good shout for a summer wedding. This pretty floral dress from New Look is a gorgeous print and a really pretty colour. I find bodycon styles like this are really flattering on me as I have an hourglass figure.

These pale blue shoes from Topshop are so pretty, I love the colour and the wooden heel is lovely, I think they would be really comfy, perfect for a wedding.

I picked out this stripe dress from Topshop which is a lovely shape, I am a huge fan of stripes. I'd wear this with these gorgeous strappy sandals from Kurt Geiger, these are such a stunning pair of sandals which you could wear time after time.

I love this embellished bag from Accessorize, it's perfect for the summer wedding/ prom season.

For the Guys

When it comes down to outfits for mens for weddings it's all about that perfect suit. There's some really lovely suits out there so I thought i'd share some inspiration with you.

This Noose and Monkey suit is a really classic style I love the contrasting Velvet Lapel and I love the skinny fit of the jacket. It's a really nice quality suit that would be perfect for any occasion. Noose and Monkey have some really unique suits and shirts so check out their SS16 lookbook here to see their latest styles.

I'm a sucker for a grey suit, this one from Topman would look fab with a nice skinny fit shirt and a grey bow tie like this one from Noose and Monkey.

A pair of brown/ tan brogues are a great staple for any summer occasion, you can pop them on with any colour suit and they look smart but trendy. I really like brogues and think they are a classic style.

I love a check shirt, with a nice blazer to dress it up or on its own with jeans/ or trousers and some braces for a more casual occasion.

OUTFIT POST: KARLIE KLOSS FOR KURT GEIGER SS16

17 April 2016

Shoes:Kurt Geiger*/Jacket: Boohoo// T-shirt : H&M // Jeans: New Look // Belt : Primark // Bag: New Look *

I've been waiting for the weather to brighten up a little bit before showing you my new shoes, They are part of the Karlie Kloss for Kurt Geiger SS16 collection . They are these gorgeous Khaki satin skater slip ons. I really like the flatform style as they give a little bit of height but are still comfy and casual. With the rubbish weather we've been having I didn't want to risk them in the rain but for a gorgeous sunny day like today they were perfect. We headed into town and did a spot of shopping today and they were very comfy. I thought i'd stick with a basic khaki tshirt and black jeans. I have to say I really liked my outfit today and can't wait to style these shoes with some other outfits, I think they will look awesome with my dungaree dress! I finished the look off with my bomber jacket from Boohoo which I think looks so good!

What do you think of todays outfit and are you a fan of these slip on skater style shoes? I think they are perfect for spring/ summer. Check out whats new this season over on Kurt Geiger.
