So excited and happy to be able to work with such a cool watch brand like JORD, they offer both women’s and men’s watches, and of course like the beautiful Frankie gold and ebony watch that I have, can be worth by either sexes. Before discovering JORD I had never seen a wooden watch, and I was certainly surprised how striking and pretty they are. You can really see the thought behind the design of each any every JORD watch.
I chose the Frankie in ebony and gold due to the minimalist look of the watch, I love the round dial and the gold details, it fits my style perfectly. What I also love about this unique watch is the colour of the wood, the dark ebony is really striking against the gold accents.
Another huge plus and the reason I choose this watch, was the oversized look of the Frankie range. I have always gravitated towards a more oversized masculine style watch, and this watch is perfect as a statement and contrast when paired with little floral summer dresses and skirts. Now we cannot ignore the beautiful packaging that this gorgeous watch arrives in, its very own beautiful wooden box, what more could you want!
I am also really excited to offer you guys a chance to win $100 towards a watch of your choice (enter competition here). One of my lucky readers will win this prize. Even if you are not the lucky winner you will still receive a gift code worth $25 once the competition ends. This is too good to pass on, so make sure you don’t miss out. Also remember to follow me on instagram (@gracesurguy) for more pics of this gorgeous watch.

My watch – Frankie in ebony & gold
I genuinely think this pink pinafore is one of my most favourite recent purchases, if not of all time! This maybe due to my very obvious pink obsession that I seem to have at the minute. Honestly though, pink denim, in the form of a pinafore!!! Urban Outfitters have pulled this out of the bag for me! I have this in a size small and it’s perfect, can’t wait to wear it more casual; with a white tee and trainers.
I wore this pinafore in Italy with my white ruffle blouse Zara. I have this in a size small, I found the sizing quite weird in this, it’s fine when you have it on, but it’s not easy getting it on at all, I’ve nearly ripped it on a few occasions! However I cannot tell you how much I have worn this blouse, It especially looks great under pinafores or dungarees. Ironing this is not fun though. Nope not fun at all….
Finally my Topshop silver sandals, unfortunately they are now sold out as I bought them in the sale just after Christmas, at a mere £15! I’ve actually not worn them until now, but they seem to be firmly on my feet at the minute. They are also crazy comfortable which is perfect for a heel.

Pink Denim Pinafore – Urban Outfitters
I am so happy about the pro-women slogan tee trend, that we are seeing everywhere at the minute. It’s so empowering to know that women all around the world want to celebrate and support each other, for no other reason than the fact that we are all amazing, strong women and we want to recognise that. This grey ‘Femme Forever’ t-shirt is from Topshop and was a mere £15, I bought it in a size small and its fits perfectly. This t-shirt literally goes with everything, a gingham midi skirt or denim cut-offs in the summer.
This midi skirt is another Topshop purchase, it’s a really flattering stretchy material, I love a relaxed pencil skirt with a slouchy tee and trainers. I love the idea of a contrast between something you would normally deem as smart, with more casual items such as trainers, or a sports style tee.
I have blogged about these staple Adidas trainers before, and they just go with anything. I don’t think you can beat a good pair of white trainers, to wear with dresses, midi skirts or jeans.

I have THE biggest obsession with dungarees and pinafores, enough to put how much I love dungarees in my Instagram bio (@gracesurguy – for further reference)…lol. I love the preppy look of a good pinafore and this beaut from H&M is so me. I love the big ruffle over the shoulder straps and the elasticated ruffle detail around the waist. I have this in a size 8 and it fits perfectly, the waist is quite stretchy which is mega comfy.
With summer around the corner I will be wearing this pinafore a lot, but I really do think it looks best with a plain white tee. This one is from COS and it is the perfect white t-shirt. If you have never been, COS do the best wardrobe staples, and the the fit is always great.
I know I’ve blogged these giant boots before, but if you want some height adding to you, then these are the Topshop bad boys that you need in your life, they are ginormous! They honestly do make your legs look amazing, and I love wearing them.

I love vintage, in fact years ago myself and one of my best friends actually traded in vintage clothes, a lot has changed since then and I think the real money is in good vintage denim. It’s no surprise that the 90’s trend is huge at the minute and I love it! The jeans are so 90’s it hurts lol! They were a great find though, I bought them from a kilo sale in Nottingham, where you pay for the clothes by weight rather than by item. These jeans were unfortunately not part of this offer, but at £20 were crazy cheap. They are a perfect mix between boyfriend and mom jeans, and so flipping comfy.
I am wearing the jeans with this pink Missguided cropped tee, I have this in white too and it’s such a good staple. I have worn it with various things in pics on my Instagram and it works with pretty much everything. We also need a good pair of white trainers, these Adidas gems I have had for years, and it always surprises me how well they wash in the washing machine!!
Finally my over-sized vintage Levis denim jacket, it will be such a staple going into spring/summer over little summer dresses or even with vintage Levi cut-offs. I love the idea of buying vintage whenever I can, it saves money and the environment, what more is there to love!

It’s still not warm here in the UK….and I am not built for this weather, I need warmth and lots of it! Lucky I am going away to Italy with my boyfriend and his family in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to feel a little warmth on my skin, instead of pretty much icicles hanging off my nose (I get a really cold nose in the winter, kind of dog like). In the meantime I’m going to wear this love dress from Daisy Street with bare legs, and freeze my ass off!
In all seriousness I love star prints at the minute on literally anything, especially dresses. This beaut was a mere steal at £25 from the brand Daisy Street, which I bought from ASOS. This is actually from the tall range however I am only 5 foot 6 inches and I think it is the perfect length on me. I also love anything with ruffles (a huge trend for spring/summer) so you are going to see way more of that on my blog.
Lastly my giant Topshop platform boots, I’m not going to make out that I wear them on a daily basis, I really don’t, because they are really tall and really high! But they make your legs look great, so well worth feeling like you are walking on stilts…lol. Let’s also not forget Ralph, he’s here for the picture too of course, because he’s possibly the coolest dog on the planet.

Big haul for you today guys, really excited to show you some of the bits I have picked up, just waiting for the sunshine to start wearing them, hope you enjoy.
