Pattern Contrasting

-




Over here in England we're finally experiencing our first glimpses of Summer with warmer weather, gazillions of blossom and boomin' business in pub gardens.
However, the weather in England is never one to be trusted as this could all be an illusion and the next second we have overcast and a great, big chill lingering about.
Which is why I still opt for my jackets/coats/jumpers on the occasion as knowing my luck the moment I dress for Summer is the moment the weather does a 360 and I'm left shivering to my bones.
I purchased this coat from the Topshop sale a couple of weeks ago as I've been trying to get my mitts on a leopard print jacket/coat for some time now and never seemed to find exactly what I wanted.
I'm not too much of a big fan of the faux fur leopard print coats that I've seen around but with a thinner fabric and a boyfriend cut, I fell head over heals in love with this bad boy. It'll also see me through Spring without getting too hot or smothering!

Next is a Primark piece that I picked up before our little trip to Edinburgh as Gingham is another little print that I've been craving to mix and match with my wardrobe for some time now.
I found this adorable peplum style blouse just hanging like a dream on a hanger in front of me and knew it was meant to be.
I'm already rocking this piece many different ways, whether that's with Mom jeans or dungaree's- it's such a versatile print!
I've then pulled out a little throwback in the form of my Joni jeans from Topshop with the ripped knee's, a pair of jeans I haven't worn in forever? They're pretty faded and no the greatest fit anymore but I still love them just the same and can add a much more casual vibe to any of my outfits with a little bit of distressing.

Accessories! I have my Adidas Stan Smiths on my feet, trusty, comfy and a classic piece. Then I have my brand spanking new Grandad style glasses, which every male in my family seem to despise yet I can't get enough of them.
I'm even thinking about adding to my reading glasses collection and seeing what other styles I can pull off.
Ironically, I had to wear glasses all through Primary school because my eye sight was pretty shoddy and I absolutely hated my specs- however, I'm now exploring the realms of non-prescription glasses and wearing them as an accessory? Very odd.

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.


..Two of my drug store favourites have to be;




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 …

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…

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…
