I Love Necklace.

Slap my thigh and call me Ron Burgundy, this necklace is ticking all the boxes. 

I picked it up yesterday from good old H&M, and it just feels right! 

I've tried (and failed) to get into the serious collar trend - I even bought a full blown metal collar - but it just felt too chunky around my neck, a bit too suffocating and little bit kinky (I'm sorry, I know). 

This still picks up on the trend whilst looking a little bit more refined. I also like the fact it hangs a little lower on the neck, I can breathe! 

I couldn't find this online but if you see it, I'd grab it whilst you can. It set me back just under a tenner, FYI.

Zara Studded Slippers.

I didn't go into Zara for studded grandad slippers, but I couldn't leave without them. 

I've desperately tried to resist hopping on the studded slipper trend, but these are just so damn cute. 

How could I resist a shot of soft nude and a double dose of gold studding? Well, I couldn't. 

I prefer these to less structured ballet flats as they give a bit more support and don't leave my feet looking too 'flat'. 

You can pick them up here. 

I dare you.

A Walk In The Woods.

Coat: Barbour 

Scarf: Profuomo 

Top: H&M

Shorts: H&M

Shoes: New Look 

I've gone for something a bit different in the photo department today, choosing to take advantage of the woodland behind my house and the use of my sister's "photography skills".

After what felt like decades of indecision, I finally plumped for the Barbour Beadnell Wax Jacket, and I couldn't say no to some beautiful Liberty lining. 

The Jacket is surprisingly warm, comfortable and I've already worn it to death, It's a bit of an investment, but it's one that is already paying its way in my wardrobe. 

The rest of the outfit is typical of my everyday style, and the shorts are my ultimate back up plan when I can't find anything else to wear. 

Finally, I have nothing but respect for regular outfit posters, for every normal looking photo I managed to get, there are ten photos of me being a gurning/cross eyed/ridiculous idiot. Just me with the problem?!

Daddy's Girl.

This weekend marked my father's l'anniversaire. Being the dutiful daughter that I am, I went over to see him & take him presents etc. 

I decided to crack out my absolute favourites of the moment...the burgundy leigh jeans. I have seen these EVERYWHERE at the moment, but hey, they're popular for a reason. 

I just teamed the jeans with this lightweight cream jumper from Topshop...I bet many of you have both of these in your wardrobe...!

I just wore this lovely little necklace that I found in Oxfam...yeah boi. Finally, I wore my New Look suede wedges, take a closer look here.

(crotch shot for the colour!)

As a side note, I made these little birthday cakes for the occasion, grown up!

Friday Update

I don't know about you but this week has just run away with me, I'm pretty sure I've misplaced a few days somewhere!

Today was pretty low key, I've just about finished a massive report so had a little bit of time to go for a snack and chat with my lovely friend.

I went to the gym this morning and only had 30 mins to get ready as I left everything a bit late but I thought this might be a good opportunity to tell you about my 5 minute face...

I usually use a light foundation like MUFE face & body but decided to use Revlon Colorstay today as it was the closest thing to me, I didn't use any concealer on top as it's already quite full coverage.

I simply rub some cream blush into my cheeks with my fingertips - I used NARS Penny Lane.

I added a bit of shimmer to my cheekbones with MAC Style Blush.

I quickly ran a bit of MAC Espresso through my brows to neaten them up.

For eyes, I quickly curled my lashes and then swept some MAC Phloof over my lid with a 224 Brush and then just used some Revlon Fabulash on my lashes.

I just put some burts bees lip balm on my lips.

The outfit was pretty simple today too...

Leggings: H&M

White Top: H&M

Jumper: Primark

Scarf: Primark

Boots: Topshop

Bag: Primark

I'm in love with this little brown bag at the moment, it's the sweetest thing!

Have a good Friday!
