What I'm Wearing... Copper PVC and Knits

It's Christmas Eve Eve, only one more half day left at work before some much needed time off and rest! Myself and the girls go for a meal all together at Christmas time, this Sunday was this years we'd scoured menus and found a place that served fried cheese as a starter(an absolute fave) and steak as the main so this restaurant had to be the one for us. We had a great time together, even if the actual meal itself was quite disappointing both the food and the service! We went for cocktails after to make up for it! 
I wore this outfit for the meal, I'd picked up the skirt for only £3 in the Primark sale an absolute bargain, in fact this whole outfit is from Primark (can't tell it's my favourite shop at all!) I love the autumnal colour and loved it with the cream jumper, although its come out a slightly whiter shade than it truly is in these pictures.
My hair recently has been especially unruly and I can tell more than ever in these pictures, I don't know quite what it is be it the windy weather and cold temperatures or just it generally be an absolute pain. I want to try re dying it with the Bleach London Beach Lights balayage kit although I need my hair to behave itself first!! (Never going to happen!!)

What I'm Wearing... Floral Leggings and Chunky Boots

It's so so close to Christmas and I've finally got everything sorted, all presents bought and wrapped! I just need to finish work now, three days left to go! 
I feel like the weathers been super mild recently and not absolutely freezing cold like it usually is in December, this has an influence on what I outfits I decide on wearing!
I'm not the biggest trouser wearer in the world and usually if any stick to my disco pants! I spotted these leggings in Primark a few months back and absolutely loved the floral pattern, they are made from a really thick almost scuba material which make them wearable as trousers! They are maybe slightly a little big as they seem to fall down, I always have this problem with trousers (probably why I don't wear them!), I can never seem to find trousers that fit properly so maybe should have sized down in these! However they are still wearable I styled them with this super cute off the shoulder top from Primark also, they do a cropped version which I also have!  I'm also wearing my Lamoda boots which are so so comfy I'm rubbish in heels but these are so easy to walk in and so comfortable!

What I'm Wearing... Floral Culottes

I'd been wanting to try out some culottes for some time now, when I came across this fab ones from H&M on my dinner break, I don't usually go in H&M that often the Derby store is a bit of a disappointment but this time I was pleasantly surprised. They are made of a super soft silky material and this pair were even in the sale so were an absolute bargain for £7! They will also be perfect in summer but as it is absolutely freezing cold at the moment so I styled these with a long sleeved black crop also from H&M which was only £5.99 I think another bargain, I also went back and bought a white one! 
I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for more culottes as I absolutely love these ones, and definitely checking H&M out more often for more lunch time bargains.

What I'm Wearing... Paisley Prints

I've totally been meaning to post a blog post of my trip to Berlin a couple of weeks ago, but as per I've been super busy so this will eventually happen (mainly so I can document the trip for myself!!) but will be super late! 
I've absolutely been loving everything that Ark have been stocking recently especially the Kiss the Sky and Hearts & Bows pieces, I had a little splurge in there on pay day, this dress is part of the haul I bought! 
I'd been eyeing this dress up for a while, I love the paisley print and the lace cuff detail on the sleeves its absolutely gorgeous. This dress is absolutely perfect Autumn/Winter colours, I love the copper colouring. This dress also has a small open back with a tie fastening which is such a cute added detail to the dress. 
I styled this dress with a rope statement necklace I bought from Primark a couple of weeks ago for only £5, this kind of necklace anywhere else would cost at least double that absolute bargain, and it goes so well with the dress. I also wore my black ankle boots that have been absolutely essential through autumn/winter and are super comfortable!

What I'm Wearing... Magic Carpet Dress

I've been such a busy bee this week I was on a mission to try and find a dress for my work Christmas party this week, I've been looking for a while and not been able to find anything that was just right (I wanted a sequin dress). I decided to search on eBay where I found a gorgeous vintage sequin dress, I bidded instantly and won! The dress which I've posted on my Instagram is absolutely perfect and just what I was looking for! I'll be doing a post featuring it soon! 

Recently I've absolutely fallen in love with the label 'Kiss The Sky' I absolutely love all their pieces. My previous post also featured one of their gorgeous dresses. I haven't been quite so brave with this dress and styled it with thick black tights. This dress does however have some absolutely fab details, it has a large keyhole back and cute little bobbles on the bell style sleeve cuffs. This dress is perfect for all year round, I'll definitely be wearing it at festivals next year. 
Recently Primark have been on top of the statement necklace game, I picked up several great necklaces recently this particular one has dip dye effect tassels hanging from a large silver medallion and was an absolute bargain!

What I'm Wearing... Burgundy Tassels

I've been so so so bad at getting posts sorted and posted recently, I've been super busy going to Berlin (a post will be up soon!) working two jobs definitely doesn't make blogging easy either! I have today finally managed to get up to speed with my blogging and get my act together! 

I absolutely fell in love with this dress, I love burgundy in Autumn/Winter and also love anything with tassels and with a boho feel. Kiss the Sky are such a fab label, their pieces are everything that I love they take inspiration from the Coachella style, vintage and rock 'n' roll perfect for my style! 
I was very daring and went bare legged when I wore this dress recently to see Bring Me The Horizon at Wembley the weather seems to have got slightly milder (and is definitely warmer than Berlin!) so it didn't seem such a bad idea after a couple of glasses of red wine I was fine!  

I have styled this dress with this gorgeous tiered necklace an absolute bargain from Primark and then with some other statement jewellery pieces from Topshop along with my super comfy staple black ankle boots also from Primark. This dress would be absolutely perfect for a festival in the summer as well as worn slightly warmer with chunky thick black tights.
