SHOE STORY
All shoes by New Look
When I was putting this post together I was totally oblivious to the fact that all of these shoes are from New Look, so as a disclaimer, I don't work for them! Aside from my regular sneakers, these are my go-to shoes at the moment. I'm picky about daytime footwear, in that I have little patience with anything that I a) can't walk in and b) can't spend an entire day dashing around without blisters. And where comfort wins, price often doesn't. However all of the above were under £30, so I guess well done New Look!
Images from Vogue
As soon as I saw these images in this month's Vogue, I made a mental note to do a post on them. I don't know whether it's the gorgeous images, the simple but cool ensembles or the models amazing hair (I would totally bleach my hair white if I didn't think it would make me look albino), but something here is working in a big way. Interestingly, the clothes are all by F & F, formerly Florence and Fred. And if the name's ringing bells it's because it's the Tesco clothing brand, aka the department you accidentally stumbled into while trying to find the wine section. Needless to say, they've undergone something of a transformation. Supermarket clothes never looked so good.
Bomber Jacket - Topman, Tank top - Superdry, Mom jeans - Topshop, Back Pack - New Look, Sandals - New Look
This Topman bomber is so much better than any womenswear equivalent I've found. I pinched it from my brother and pretended I'd bought it myself, so it had the added bonus of being free. These mom jeans have been in my life for a year and have adapted amazingly well to all seasons and occasions, so 10/10 for those too.
Dress - River Island, Shoes - New Look
Having seen the first few signs of spring arrive, I might have got a bit excited and invested in (translation: seriously overspent on) a couple of things. This basketball dress being one of them. It's the nicest I've found on the high street and it's easy to dress up or down, winning my seal of approval. Just need it to actually get a bit warmer so I can wear it more...

Apologies for the slight break away from the blog. I came down with the dreaded winter flu, despite the fact that it seemingly coincided with the first signs of spring. Anyway, I'm back and will leave you this evening with some images I found whilst propped up in bed with some Lemsip...
Top - Missguided, Skirt - H&M
I'm totally obsessed with scuba everything right now, and this little cropped number is among my favourites. The fabric is super light and sits perfectly every time I put it on - it's a seriously well-behaved piece of clothing. I actually brought it a size up for that added over-sized appeal. Plus it balances out my teeny tiny skirt...
COVER.
Images from The Fashionography
Such gorgeous images from Issue 9 of The Gentlewoman. Whilst coats/ponchos/shirts and swimwear don't initially spring to mind as a natural pairing, the combination of silhouettes merges surprisingly well, as well as diluting the somewhat daunting prospect of baring all in a swimsuit after months of hiding under clothes. In love with the final bodysuit...
Jumper - Topshop, Jacket - Topshop, Trousers - H&M, Back Pack - New Look
This is probably the closest to print I'll ever get. These H&M trousers (or 'slacks' as they're called on the website) were a bargain and fit surprisingly well - perfect skinniness around the ankle but not too tight around the hips. This trusty Topshop jumper has been in my life for years. I throw it on at any opportunity, and really, it could do with replacing. But it's got to that perfect level of bagginess only achieved through frequent wear and tear, and I kind of can't bear to let it go. I think that's what they call true love.
On a side note, the last two posts have been without shoes as I had hurt one of my toes and have been wearing some very unattractive, comfy shoes. However, shoes will be appearing from now on...
Top - ASOS, Trousers - Primark, Jacket - Topshop,
I'm obsessed with monochrome right now (my polyvore is a pretty clear indication of that) and am wearing it an alarming amount. I'm in love with this top, even though it gets stuck on my head every freaking time I take it on and off - neoprene does not like to stretch. Also thank you to whoever invented the smart jogger. I'm just waiting for the smart onesie and slippers to be invented now.
Hope you're all having a chilled Sunday!

Apparently late at night is when I get my best inspiration...its just a shame I need to be up for work in a few hours #helpmecaffeine.

If pyjamas were acceptable day-wear, I'd wear little else. Sometimes, squeezing myself into my skinny jeans at 7:30 in the morning seems like the most unappealing task. However, seeing as I have to leave the house looking vaguely acceptable, these stylish but comfortable basics will have to do. These are my current favourite picks inspired by the sport luxe trend, seen everywhere from Tommy Hilfiger to Balenciaga. An even bigger plus is that these are all under £100. Don't say I never treat you.

Tumblr is my vice and go-to for procrastination. I waste away hours image hunting, hours which should be doing my dissertation. If any of you guys are hung up on monochrome and clean lines, with only the tiniest hint of colour, then come join me here.
