A March 2017 fashion haul and lookbook, including all of these lovely brands (Boohoo, Ego, ASOS, Gucci, Zara, MAC, Topshop) I know, I’m a shopaholic!!!
Dark grey strappy midi dress – Topshop – (sold out) light grey version here
Blue wide leg dungarees – ASOS
Black skinny dungarees – Cheap Monday – ASOS
I’ve got full on love for this jumper, the sleeves are insane giant things that go down to my knees, but that makes me love it even more. However wearing a jacket over the top of these sleeves is a problem……however don’t worry I worked it out 🙂 this black bomber jacket from Urban Outfitters is a wardrobe staple and a must if your sleeves go down to your knees lol.
I love a jumper over an over-sized shirt, not just for the added warmth (although that helps because I am the coldest person on the planet) I love layering items of clothing to make them look completely different each time. Plus you can’t go wrong with a white shirt, in fact this one is not as oversized as I would like (mental note to buy another one, yay).
There is only one skinny jean for me and that is the Topshop joni, so stretchy and so high waisted, the only thing I wish I could change is the addition of belt loops (because without them there is nowhere to put my Gucci belt…blogger problems). Then we have the patent boot, does what it says on the tin plus I will never have too many black ankle boots in my collection…ever.

Bomber Jacket – Urban Outfitters
Last month was so flipping cold, when means I have been unable to wear this lovely trench coat from Topshop properly, due to possibly dying of frostbite! I’ve finally been able to bring it out (weirdly got some oil on it the first day I wore it, not recommended i cant get it off…lol), I love everything about it, the length and the over-sized fit, is perfect. When we finally see warmer days I can’t wait to wear it with a little summer dress and sandals.
The dress was an absolute bargain from Zara in the January sale, unfortunately it is not available anymore, but I love the shape and style. For me I have to belt it in as otherwise I literally look like a block (never a good look). The circle/chain belt is from ASOS and it’s crazy awesome, it cost £14, which I think is insane because there is a lot going on there! Belts, chains…circles, only thing I kind of quibble at is that it isn’t leather, but you can’t have everything!
My bargain Topshop black leather lace-up Topshop boots make me very happy, they cost a mere £30, and are going to be such a staple in my wardrobe, can’t wait to dress down little dress and skirts with these boots, as it gets warmer (whenever that might be!). Finally this Kendall and Kylie gem of a backpack…not going to lie, but I’m totally on team Kylie, I’m far too old to love her, but I do and I’m not ashamed of it…lol.

Little video of my trip to London fashion week festival, excuse the sillyness, hope you enjoy 🙂
Outfit details as below;
Honestly though, what is warmer than a fur coat? (not real fur, ain’t nobody got time for that) this black Topshop version is no exception, and it looks cool with pretty much anything. I like dressing it down the most with a pair of jeans or tailored trousers and some trainers, I love the contrast of something that could be determined as dressy with more casual items.
Everyone should own a pair of black Nikes (biased I know, I clearly have some on my feet) I’ve loved the Air Max 90’s for years. Probably a pit weird but I like how they have more of a raised heel than most trainers, kind of like an acceptable trainer heel (totally not a thing, lol).
Topped the look off with a pair of ASOS black tailored trousers, a ASOS black leather waist belt and a cropped white Missguided tee. Simple but effective for a day walking around the city, when the tube means your coat is off and on more times than a jack in a box!
Not to forget my APC baby, what a beaut this is, a real investment and definitely going to love it forever 🙂

I like clothes a lot (yeah, yeah fashion blogger, we’d never have guessed). I believe you get dressed in the morning and decide who you want to be for that day. Some days I just want to wear my trainers, favourite gym leggings and the biggest hoody I can find, minimal make-up (never no make-up, are you crazy!) those are my mega casual days, but probably my favourite days of all. Yet other days I want to wear the dress I have been saving and my best make-up (yeah, I do have going-out make-up and work make-up, you should try it, it’s a real penny saver). What I am trying to say, is what you wear can and will boost your confidence, and make you feel like you are ready to tackle the world! So that’s my rationale as to why I MUST buy that very expensive handbag I have been wanting for the last few months…lol. On a serious this is why I want to blog, to show you guys a little of what I wear and who I am, and hopefully I’ll gain a little support along the way.
My Style – I am 30 years old (could lie, I’m not going to, that’s just sad) which means (obviously) I’m not 21 anymore, and I ain’t no model (sorry mum, I do know that’s not grammatically correct, it’s just for effect) so I hope my style can appeal to literally any women out there, who want a little inspiration, and when don’t we, my favourite pastime is reading the fashion blogs of the gorgeous gals I’ve been following for years. What you’ll see me in the most is dungarees (this is a new thing, but my god I love them!) monochrome & pastels, good vintage denim and the odd floral or two. Plus a little bit of streetwear (yeah I do wear a lot of men’s clothes, lol). Oh and lots of pictures with my yorkshire terrier Ralph, because he’s cute! Also my lovely boyfriend, because he is the clever techie one behind the scenes, who has made this happen, plus he’s pretty stylish (thank god)….. hope you enjoy 🙂
Dog – Ralph 🙂
