Hat: ASOS
Leather Jacket: ASOS
Top: Primark
Jeans: Topshop

I have to admit, that I have been a bit of a blogging grump lately & to be honest, I think I need to snap myself out of it asap! This was going to be a ranty kind of post but I have decided against it as I really don’t need that kind of negativity here, I need to stop caring about things too much…

Anyway, I love this outfit. I’ve been looking for a new pair of jeans for a while now as I am sick & tired of wearing skinny jeans. I have come to the conclusion that they really don’t do anything for my figure, they accentuate the one part of my body that I loath (oh hello huge hips & short legs >.<) so I have decided that from now on, skinny jeans are a no go until I get a bit of body confidence back…

PS this jacket is the best thing in the world & I love it!

Also, I really want to start doing my ootd outtakes posts again, would that be something you guys would be interested in or do you perffer the srs blggr posts? ;) You can see previous ones here> 1, 2, 3, 4.

If you have followed me for a while, you will probably already know that I am a huge MINKPINK fan! So I was thrilled when Out & About got in touch about their newest collection!

MINKPINK DOFLAMINGO…

Striped Pleated Dress* MINPINK via OUT & ABOUT
Baby Pink Bowler Hat: H&M
Buckle Boots*: Chicnova
Feather Bag: River Island

It seems so long since I have done an outfit post. I have been super busy again :S But I’m back & I don’t know if you can tell by these photos but I have bought myself a new camera! :) I have been saving up for ages to buy myself a DSLR & I finally did it, it’s a sort of birthday present to myself/first wage slip purchase, but like I said, it’s something I have been saving up for for a long time, & I didn’t just buy it for my blog, I still stand by that you don’t need a DSLR to have good blog photos, hell I have been blogging for almost three years without one & my blog has done just fine, I bought it because I like photography, I’m in no way saying that I am a photographer of any kind but taking photos is a pretty big hobby of mine so buying my Canon 1100D made sense as I know I will get a lot of use out of it for my photo taking habbit & for blog photos :)

Anyway onto the clothes! MinkPink & Out & About kindly sent me this beauty of a dress a couple of weeks ago & I have literally worn it to death since it arrived. It’s such a nice shape, not too clingy, not too short & hangs perfectly. I also love the pleated detail on the skirt, it just ads that little extra dimension. You can see the whole MINKPINK Sping 2013 collection here>link & all bloody brilliant! :) Thank you so much Out & About! Shop MinkPink here>link

Also, how are you liking my new hat? ;) It’s the exact same as my black H&M one it’s a bit on the girly side of life for me, being pink & all but I thought the dusty pink would be nice for the warmer months & it makes a nice change.

ps: Thank you for all your lovely birthday messages on Thursday, you beauts! <3

Breathe your smoke into my lungs…

Checked Shirt: Topshop
Striped top: H&M
Faux Fur Stole: ASOS
Skinny Jeans: Miss Selfridge
Boots*: OASAP
Bag*: Marc b

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love these jeans! If you follow me on twitter you have probably already seen me raving about them. They are literally THE best jeans that have ever graced my legs. They have everything going for them, super skinny, black, high waisted, super stretchy, don’t go baggy at the knees & most importantly…they are mega comfy! They are on the pricy side of life at £38 big ones, I was lucky enough to get a whopping 60% discount off them though because of my work uniform allowance. If I hadn’t have got the discount, I most probably wouldn’t have  bought them but now I have them, I would say they are more than worth the money if you are looking for the perfect pair of jeans.

The bag is by Marc b & was kindly sent to me by the lovely girls at Etail PR a few weeks ago. It’s such a good sized bag & I love that the strap is adjustable the quality of the bag it’s self is really good quality & the pocket on the front is so useful! It’s definitely a new firm favourite.

Firstly, I feel the need to apologise for these insanely white photos. When we took these, it was getting quite late & the lighting wasn’t the best so I had quite a bit of trouble editing these pictures >.< Aaaaaanyway, I really love this outfit, hence why I have posted the photos anyway! It’s probably one of my all time favourites now as I am obsessed with anything tie dye at the moment & I think the crochet top/dress thingy just adds that extra ~something. You can’t beat a bit of layering!

I am an absolute freak when it comes to sunglasses, I love them, they are my weakness. You know like some people love shoes/handbags? Well I’m a sucker for sunglasses. (even though you only ever see me wearing, like, the same pair in every outfit post.) I was actually gutted that I couldn’t bring my whole collection to Spain over the fear that they would all get broken/I didn’t have enough room in my suitcases. :( I saw these babies on ASOS a wee while ago but I just didn’t want to spend 20 quid on a pair of pretty ~statement glasses so I waited, & boy am I glad I did. I managed to snap them up for a tenner in the ASOS sale, bargain?!

Also, just wanted to let you know that I have just launched some brand new nail designs on effienails (including some that were featured in August Company Magazine!) they are all one offs so get in there quiiiiiick! ;)
