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 - Dark Florals





Top - Primark|| Jeans - Topshop|| Kimono - H&M|| Shoes - Primark|| Belt - TK Maxx


Even though I feel a little bit like I'm wearing a dressing gown when I wear this kimono, I love it! It's flattering, not too long and is a lovely print! I'm now on the hunt for some equally as beautiful kimonos, I think this has started a new obsession! As for everything else I kept it simple and black, I seem to be going through an obsession of wearing a lot of black ATM! Being chubby, particularly in the leg department where there is no thigh gap to be seen, I find wearing black makes me feel 1000% better on those no so confident days. Plus these Topshop jeans are so comfy and flattering I never want to take them off!

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
Meg xo
