pink waffles

 
Crop jumper- C/O Get the label
Jeans- F&F
Shoes- New Look
Necklace- H&M
 
I am a fussy Freddie when it comes to skinny jeans. I hate really thick rough denim and can't stand it when they bunch at the knees and ankles...don't even get me started with the ones that ride right down your arse every time you bend down!! Because of my height and annoyingly short torso I find it really difficult to find skinny jeans that fit perfectly and up until now the only ones that made it into my wardrobe were the pricey Leigh jeans from Topshop. However Tesco have saved the day with their super soft skinny jeans and at £14 I can buy 2 pairs and have enough change left over for a pair of shoes HELLO!!!
 
I was kindly gifted this neon pink waffle jumper from the get the label urban blogger event and I love it, I can't wait to pair it with some distressed high waisted shorts and gladiator sandals. My blingy bling necklace was another bargain reduced from £13 to £4, it may look somewhat like a Christmas decoration but I couldn't help but buy it.

Dress & Necklace- Primark
Boots- F&F
 
I'MMMMM BBBAACCCCKKKKKK :) It's been over 2 months since I last posted an outfit of the day and I have missed it so much. After my 6 week redundancy I am finally employed and start my new job next Monday, hopefully I will be able to blog regularly again too. This pleases me no end, honestly I never thought I would be so happy to go back to work, there's only so much come dine with me one can watch in a week!!!
 
Last week I fell in love with this amazing elephant print smock dress from ASOS and snapped it up straight away....Do you blame me LOOK AT IT :)

I ordered it in a size 8 but when it arrived and I tried in on I felt like I was wearing a 4 man tent, but lets not panic........I found this giraffe dress in Primark which I thought was a good substitute and it was only £6 compared to the asos one which was £28...CHACHING!!
 
I am in two minds whether to send the asos dress back and order a six or just get a refund??? Help me out ladies???

A summer outfit for under £30



Dress-George- Last Summer tribal prints were huge and it seems the trend has come back around. Kristen Stewart wore an amazing Peter Pilotto dress last year and since then I have been loving anything tribal. Now if only I could get my pale self to St Tropez to rock this beauty!
 
Shoes- Treds- I can't take credit for these amazing JC dupes. Islay blogged about them the other day and if I had the money they would be in my basket, no questions asked!
 
Bracelet- Forever21- I love how gold and silver look together, I think this bracelet is quite tribal too so it looks fab with the dress.
 
Hat- Get the label- I only own one hat and that was the beanie that had to be surgically removed from my head this winter. I think this one from Get The Label would be my perfect summer hat, I don't even know if there is such a thing but I love how 'western chic' it is.

Best of the sales- spring edition

Necklace- BHS- I never knew BHS sold such gorgeous jewellery until I saw Robyn tweet about her latest purchases. Apparently they are not all about granny pants and dressing gowns. I love the tassel detailing on this necklace, it would be such an amazing festival piece and what's more it's only a fiver!!
 
Shorts and Shoes- Topshop- The shorts are only £20 and the shoes £40. The shorts again would be soooo cute for a festival but it's the shoes that really caught my eye. God only knows if I could walk in them but they are so awesome who cares!! I have seen a lot of laser cut out detailing recently and I love how they fit in with the monochrome trend that is still around.
 
Ring- h&m- For £2 why not!
 
Top- River Island- I can't wait to stock up on Cami's this summer, they are everywhere at the moment and how GORGEOUS is the print on this one from River Island. It's currently £10 in the sale so snap it up whilst you can.

Monochrome aztec blazer

 
 

Blazer-  c/o Pretty Little Thing
Top- Topshop
Skirt- River Island
Necklace- Primark
Shoes- c/o Barratts
 
A big fat YES to this monochrome Aztec blazer from Pretty Little Thing. I absolutely love how structured it is and the quality of the material is amazing, none of this flimsy crap that looses its shape after one wash!! It's a definite statement piece...not one for a wallflower. It is currently £30 on the Pretty Little Thing website, they also have a skater skirt in the same print.
 
My cute thumb print heart top was an amazing bargain find. I went into Topshop to spend the voucher I got for my birthday but everything I tried on either looked like a binbag or just a hot mess! As I was walking out the shop I saw this top crumpled up on the sale rack and to my surprise it had been reduced from £22 to £3, I couldn't leave it behind.
