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 :)

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.

Gingham galore!




Ok, so my favourite trend at the moment has to be the super cute, ultra chic and so simple to wear ...GINGHAM!
I really have gone a bit crazy when it comes to the classic print. 
So here's my way to style an oufit with just a gingham shirt.
 Enjoy!



So, an oversized red gingham shirt worn as a shirt dress with leggings, a black fedora hat and heeled black boots can do wonders to spruce up a casual day time outfit. A really summery look and so comfortable to wear. At the back of my mind if you replaced the boots with a pair of white converse this would be a great airport outfit as it's so airy and light.
When I wore this outfit to work my manager said "aw meg, you look like a picnic..." i'll take that as a compliment.

My boots, bag and leggings are from New Look and the shirt and hat are from a vintage store in Norwich (You can see me talk about these product in an earlier vlog we did below)

So there we go guys, I hope i've given you a little inspiration on how to style gingham in a fun, fashionable and easy going way.

lots of love

Outfit of the day - childish 90s vibes


 Jacket - Next || Top - Vintage || Belt - Vintage || Skirt - River Island || Shoes - River Island || Scarf - Vintage 


Feeling a bit like a childish 90s throwback with this outfit. Denim - check. Teddy bear scarf - check. Bright orange Velma like jumper - check. Jelly shoes with ankle socks - check. Yes I have very chubby legs that aren't a very good shape and are incredibly pale that even through dark tights they pretty much glow but i'm cool with that!

Charity Shop Finds - Tartan Skirt





So last week me and Meg had a stroll round some local charity shops and I stumbled across this beauty. I really couldn't say no to it even though I had said I didn't want to spend anymore money. I'd been eyeing up something similar from a few online shops but when I flipped over the the tag and saw the price it was a one way sprint to the till. How much was it I hear you asking? £1.50!! ONE POUND AND 50 PENNIES!! This is exactly why I love charity shopping. Bargains galore! So get yourself down to your local charity shops and do some good for you wardrobe, bank account and the lovely causes they support!

This weekend has been beautiful! Love a bit of sunshine, puts everyone in such a happy mood. My weekend involved friends, BBQs, pubs, bikes and of course we ended it all with some Nandos. These are the two outfits I wore for all of the shenanigans. I normally wear so much black it was nice to put some colour into my outfits and it instantly made me feel more summery and happy!

Hope you all had a magical weekend.

Thanks for reading.
