Zara Wishlist.

We all love Zara, they never fail us high street junkies!

I bought these white ripped boyfriend jeans in the sale for like £10 or something silly! I LOVE them. This was the first time I have worn them as the weather hasn't really permitted it. This day was freezing but the sun was shining and no rain was forecasted so I bit the bullet! I teamed them with a simple black vest top, my black fluffy cardi, and h&m jacket, with my roshes. I was going to wear my black ankle boots, but was going to be doing a fair bit of walking, so I'll save them for next time. 

 

 

So, I went into Zara last weekend to see their new collection. There were many items I tried on and wanted to purchase but the bank balance is a little tight at the moment. Not the greatest of photos to follow-  especially as my mid-drift is out! 

This jumper - no words to describe my love for it. Probably not the most practical of tops, and it would be one of those items I buy for the sake of owning it and not actually wearing it. Come on, you all have at least one of these items in your wardrobe?! (Usually shoes?) But this jumper - bang on for the 'sheer trend' (afterthought - thats going to be my next blog.)

 

Since starting this post I have been on the Zara wesbite - I know why do I do this to myself? But I work at a computer and have my lunch at my desk - only means one thing... online wishing/ dreaming!

Beauties

 

 

Shiny

 

 

Perfect

 

 

 

Hurry up warmer weather - it is too cold to wear these and then they will be sold out by the time the sun is out!

 

Ugly but so right!

 

 

 

 

I'm not even going to post the clothes I saw online or else we will be here for even longer! Whats on your Zara Wishlist?

Teddy Bear Coat.

How is everyone's January blues going?

Last week I had an amazing week and was behind the scenes at our (schuh) SS14 campaign. I have never been to a photoshoot before so I was LOVING it. I have lots of photos to share and if you follow me on Instagram you would have seen some tasters of the shoot last week. I will dedicate a post to it soon though. 

I thought I'd share some of my new buys... Have you heard of oniochalasia? It's buying or shopping as a method of stress relief or relaxation! Also I saw this this other day "sweating while you shop counts as exercise!" Which I keep telling myself today especially as I have only been to the gym twice this week! But I have done lots of walking! 

Anyway, so my fave purchase is probably my new jumper which arrived Wednesday - I love coming home from work with a parcel awaiting for me! Especially when I have forgotten what it was I ordered! (That's bad isn't it?!) I would never be able to afford an ACNE jumper so when I found a link to this jumper off a fashion blogger I follow Hannah Crosskey I couldn't help myself. If you haven't come across Hannah's personal style blog before, you should definitely start following it. ACNE's name derives from "ambition to create novel expression."

Also my teddy bear coat which I found today in a vintage shop called Armstrong in Grass Market, Edinburgh. I probably could have done with it before now as it's cosy warm, but up here it is still freezing so I will get quite a few wears out of it still. Plus I don't think it will ever go out of style- so an investment piece too. 

Jumper: www.sheinside.com

Trousers: H&M 

Coat: Armstrong Vintage 

Nike Roshe trainers: schuh 

Socks: Topshop (see below picture) 

Selfie with a fedora style hat I didn't purchase as I couldn't wear the hat with the coat! ott. I could probably wear it when not wearing the coat- I only tried it on as hats don't suit my short hair- but I was surprised that it actually didn't look too hideous! 

Other purchases that make me happy. 

Clutch: Zara sale

Socks: Topshop - I CANNOT wait to rock these with some chunky sandals and Birkenstocks. Hurry up summer!

You cant go wrong with another pair of jeans.

Jeans: Topshop sale

iPhone 5 phone case: KENZO 

Love or hate the case? I LOVE!

D for denim and D for dungarees.

I have already done a post on dungarees, but it took me a while to actually wear mine. Now I am used to them, I love em and they are my fail safe, throwing them on when I am having a 'don't know what to wear moment.' And don't deny it, we all have these moments, me probably too often. Ha.

So anyway, here's how I wore my dungarees the last two times. Pretty chilled. The weather was so gorgeous, (when these photos were taken, its been a bit hit and miss since then) it meant I could wear sleeveless tops underneath, which I really like and it's comfortable, also avoids T-shirt tan lines!

I have been really busy lately as..... I GOT THE VM JOB I PREVIOUSLY POSTED ABOUT. So I am moving to Scotland. Very scary. Nervous. Excited. Sad. So I have been making plans to move, and seeing my loved ones, as I am going to miss them terribly. We are all going out on Saturday evening and I have a couple of outfit ides. I'm sure i'll post them on here next week.

Back to the point...

Dungarees - Urban Outfitters

Grey sleeveless top - H&M

White sleeveless top - Topshop 

Flatform sandals - Topshop (which I impulse bought in the sale, and regretted but now I've actually worn them, I love them. They literally go with everythang.) 

New Balance trainers - Schuh

Fishnet socks - Asos

Nike Jacket - Vintage from the shop 'Junk' on Sadler Gate, Derby. If you haven't been in, you must. 

Sunglasses - Wild Clothing in Nottingham

Rings - Mixture of vintage, Topshop and Primark

Next post might be from Scotland... eeeeee.....

Say what?

I can't believe I'm only just blogging again. I literally drowned in my Uni work... hardly slept, was ill and extremely stressed! But it's all over now, and I'm just awaiting the results! The only spare time I got towards the end, was to eat and go to work! So blogging was out of the question, even though I really wanted too.

No excuses now tho.. So here is the first of many to come as I am now a lady of leisure, Ha, I wish. Its all about the job hunt now. I have managed to have some chill time tho, which has been nice, spent alot of time catching up with the fam and playing with my nieces and nephew. Obv I went out and partied hard on the day I handed in my last assignment, I was out till the club turned it's lights on! Say what? I know, so unlike me.

All my hair has been chopped off! A very spontaneous decision, but I love it...

Since my last post, my shoe collection has grown, and a few new items of clothing have been added to the wardrobe. :-)

So here are the photos to sum up the past 3 months. Say what? I didn't realise it had been that long. Opps.
