All in black.






It would appear from recent Instagram pictures that i'm really loving black atm. These are outfits are from the last few weeks, including my birthday night out and my birthday trip to Bluewater and Lakeside! I find black easy, it goes with everything, it's slimming and depending on what you're wearing it gives such a clean neat appearance! I'm always being told by my boyfriend I wear too much black and not enough colour and I never realised till now how true that is (lets hope he doesn't read this and play the 'I'M RIGHT' card!) but when the sunshine makes more of an appearance then maybe i'll get some more colourful things out to wear, or not! Either way black is always safe and easy for me so it will be staying.


Also can we just say a massive sorry for the lack of posts recently, we've both got a lot going on in our lives atm (some of it you'll be finding out in future posts) but we are going to try and keep uploading at least once/twice a week. Thanks for sticking with us :)

Summer vibes



PASTEL POWER !

So, the last few days in England have been super sunny and given me the fluttery feeling I get when I know summer is just around the corner.
What better to go with beaming sunshine, a happy buzz of the people around you, BBQ's and beer gardens? The power of the pastels!

Working in retail as a visual merchandiser for New Look, I'm quite lucky in that I get a first insight into new trends, colour pallets and patterns. So when we got a huge delivery of ginghams, florals and pastels to say I was muchos exciteos was an understatement.

I completely adore this pastel blue, textured box top with 3/4 sleeves pictured below


I paired this top with a pair of culotte like floral shorts, white converse AND my gorgeous new pastel lilac and holographic, rounded acrylic nails. To tone down the girlyness of this outfit I added a little urban edge with these silver tube midi rings and a diamanté chandelier necklace. 

All items mentioned above can be found at newlook.com and the nail lacquer used on my nails is by O.P.I called 'do you lilac it?' and you can find that here

Outfit Of The Day - Lazy Dress & Shirt Combo





Shirt - H!|| Dress - Primark|| Belt - Vintage|| Shoes - Primark|| Coat - Forever21



I feel like doing something as simple as putting a shirt under a dress makes it look like a lot more effort has gone into an outfit, when really it's just me being lazy! This is one of those go to easy outfits for me, some people it's jeans and a top, but for me a shirt and a dress works a treat. Adds instant detail and put togetherness with one easy addition to a normal dress.
