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?

This dress never fails me.

I bought this tartan slip dress from Zara absolutely ages ago! I have wanted to do a post on it for a while but just never got round to it. So here it is.

I can't even remember how much it was- maybe £30? Zara surprises me sometimes, I see something and think "ooo but how much is it?" Then I check and when I'm surprised at the good price- I have to buy it there and then! No thinking about it. And I'm so glad I did. Ive worn it loads during the day with a roll neck jumper, I've also worn it out on a casual night out with a tshirt underneath and trainers and then with heels and no tshirt/ jumper underneath- which is a little sexy!!

Here is my day time look - I've teamed it with stripey socks for a sporty touch! 

Dress: Zara 

Roll neck: Uniqlo 

Coat: Armstrong Vintage

Bag: Michael Kors
Reeboks: schuh 

Socks: Topshop

Inspiration #2

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope y'all had a fabulous Christmas and great time celebrating seeing the New Year in! 

I went home for Christmas, and spent it with family and friends which was lovely! I ate far too much tho! I arrived back in Edinburgh Sunday evening and back to work on the Monday! It's not been too bad actually! Not hit the January blues yet! Hopefully I won't! 

Did u all get spoilt rotten by Santa? I got some lovely gifts of clothes, make up, money, and of course chocolate! I had to eat it all before coming back tho as wanted to start heathly eating and exercising again! Although, the gym is super busy! All these new year resolutions of going to the gym has made it rammed for us regulars! 

Anyway, I know my last post was an inspiration post. But whilst I was doing some research for my next post I thought... What's the harm in doing another. All the images below are photos I have liked recently on Instagram. And anyone that knows me knows I LOVE instagram! It literally is my favourite thing. So when looking through the pics I've liked last night, I thought I'd screen shot them and share them with you. 

 

This post could literally have gone on forever! haha.

Are you obessed with insta?

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.....

Short, Sweet and White

Well, how gorgeous is this weather, I personally, AM LOVIN' IT! Lots of typical British moaning on social media, about it being too hot, but then when the sun doesn't want to play, everyone moans... Mr Sun just can't win.

I have lightly burnt my tummy today tho, it was a scorcher... and yes I did have cream on ;-)

Back to the title of this post....

I bought these shorts, absolutely agesssssssssssss ago. But at the time, and weeks after that, we didn't have the weather to permit wearing them. We do now, and according to the weather folk, we have it for the rest of the month... hooray. All tho, with these beauties being white, one wear, then wash.... so who knows how long they will last.

They have been all over the blogoshere... you guessed it, 'The Zara Skorts.'

I originally saw them on Instagram, then they found there way into my wardrobe. These are some of my fav shots. You should deffo check these girls out, they have great style and are amazing fashion inspiration.

Always Judging

She Wears Fashion

Death by Platforms

We Wore What

In Colored Dreams

I wanted to do the 'all white' thing, but didn't dare, I knew somehow, or someway I would spill something over my all white outfit. So here's what I did...

Skorts: Zara

Tshirt: MHI

Sandals: Topshop

Sunglasses: TKMaxx

Lipstick: MAC - Lady Danger shade

Bag: Michael Kors

I love them, i love them, i love them, I cannot wait to wear them again, maybe dress them up on a night out. O, and I now own them in orange. If they weren't shorts, the length would be too short to wear as a skirt, so they are practical, stylish and flattering. Sold them to you yet? 

What would you wear with yours?

Yay for the midi...

I love midi dresses and skirts, I'm quite short so they are better for me than a maxi dress/ skirt. I love throwing on a midi and a baggy t-shirt or shirt, as it is comfortable and stylish. The majority of my midi dresses are quite figure hugging, which at the minute, is my worse nightmare!

So this sale steal from Topshop is my new fav dress, as it isn't tight fitting, it is comfortable and doesn't need much styling to look good, today I forgot to put a necklace on whilst rushing around before work (no excuse I know, one should never forget a necklace!) but I got away with it. I love the finish at the bottom, with the length being longer at the back...

I got my white Zara bag for my birthday in March, and have only really started using it, I was too scared to get it mucky! It is a perfect way to tap into the 'white' s/s13 trend, I would love to dress head to toe in white, or have white trousers but for me, they it is just not practical, (boring I know) I can't trust myself not to spill something on them! Haha. Infact, talking about white, I purchased some gorgeous white shorts ages ago, and have still yet to wear them. That must go on to my to do list.

The varsity jacket was a brilliant find, when doing the food shop in Asda, I always check George, just in case, and this time I was extremely glad I did. I bought it quite a while ago now, but it literally goes with everything, and is a good way of updating older clothes.

Mac is one of my fav makeup brands, and this particular lipstick is my fail safe, I got it when I had grey hair, I think it would suit any hair colour to be honest, and is a perfect 'in the day' lipstick colour, not too dark and not too bright.

Dress: Topshop

Denim shirt (around waist): Topshop

Varsity Jacket: G21 range at George @ Asda

Socks: Urban Outfitters

Flatform Hightops: Schuh

Handbag: Zara

Sunglasses: Asos

Lipstick: MAC, 'Up the Amp' shade

What's your favourite item atm?
