The One & Only Military Jacket

-



A little bit of a tomboy'ish look going on for today's post! I can never get tired of my military jacket and the multiple outfits/looks I can create by throwing it over the top. It add's a little edge and makes any outfit super casual, which of course I'm all for.
I also spotted on one of my all time favourite blogs, Lily Melrose (www.llymlrs.com incredible style blogger!) that she had paired up a black skirt and a striped top, a very effortless and simple combination yet one I was dying to try myself.
I found my faux leather quilted skirt from Primark somewhere in my ridiculously messy chest of drawers and paired it up with my Zara t-shirt. 
Although my choice of t-shirts wasn't too bold with the striped pattern, I felt the khaki of my jacket could be the alternative boldness.
On my feet are my Converse for the ultimate laid back, a little bit scruffy but still girly look.
Finally, on my lips is 'Men Love Mystery' from the one and only Mac!

Esprit Outerwear Picks

Something a little different for today's blog post but I wanted to focus on a couple of pieces I stumbled across in my local Esprit that I thought I'd share in a little post. Coats/jackets are one of my favourite pieces of clothing to purchase what ever the season, whether they're light weight and airy for Summer or thick and snug for Winter- there's always a statement coat that is screaming out for me to purchase! I wanted to focus on Esprit for this blog post as I feel that I came across a variety of different styles, fabrics and silhouettes that can surely compliment every body shape and be the 'perfect' outerwear piece for someone's wardrobe. These three coats were my top picks and are very neutral in colour but with different cuts and shapes to them to create a more formal finish or casual depending on your personal choice. The first jacket I tried was an Aviator style jacket and is one of my all time favourite types of jacket. It's thick, cosy and com…

Something A Little Different..

This is a little something that I wanted to try with my blog (bit of trial and error!) and just experiment with different blogging styles and ideas. Whilst I was wondering about the town and shops I discovered that there are quite a few hidden gems in the form of smaller named brands, hidden away in our department stores. I then decided to whip out my iPhone to take a couple of outfit shots to blog about later on! Usually, I'll openly admit that I scan past these brands and scurry off to the comfort of my usual places of shop but today I thought I'd step out of my bubble and actually explore the different styles, patterns and colours that these brands have to offer.  Esprit is a company I've heard of before and never been able to pronounce without correction! As they are situated right next door to Warehouse I thought they would be a perfect choice to begin my browsing as they're displays were bold in colour, simple and yet eye catching. I'm a massive shirt fan, mahoo…

Dry Shampoo & Owls ;Day 27

Dry Shampoo & OwlsRandom title I know, but I decided to declare my love for dry shampoo. I mean come on, what other kind of God-sent invention exists on this planet in a small can? I've just set a challenge for you to find something of this description! Best of luck.

But in all honestly those days where your hair is in between washes or you just haven't even bothered to shove it over the bath tub.. this is all you need. Also most of the brands you can buy now smell amazing!! Mm sweet smelling hair.

Don't feel like you're being gross and dirty by skipping the occasional hair washing date. It's not the end of the world!! And sometimes it's good to let your hair go greasy (there is a line though) so that the natrual oils can do their magic.

Moving on..  Owls? Well, the reason behind this was because I was being unimaginative with my choice of titles. I found my rather adorable owl pendant from Forever 21 and decided it …
