Is it a green week?

I'm not sure why I've recently started wearing dresses and skirts to work, but it's defiantly expanded my work wardrobe which is always a plus! As my work is always cold I popped on a green jumper over my dress and accessorised with a studded black and gold belt. I suppose I like to add a bit of colour to my monochrome looks! 

I had to snap my photos fast this morning so I'm half asleep before I dash to work, oops. 

And it's finally the start to my weekend thanks to the bank holidays woohoo! Xoxo

April fools

Never even came into my mind that it's April fools day, I've been writing the date all morning but never even thought about it!! Dammit, but at least it means I've stayed safe this year from the tricks phew. 

I was in a bit of a hurry this morning so I grabbed my new grey skirt and my white sleeveless blouse but managed to add some pattern with my flower cardigan (not seen in photo, sorry:( !) and finished my look off with a splash of colour with a pink jacket. I hardly get to wear it so when the weathers a bit in between seasons for us here in England it's the perfect time to bring it out. But still on a dash to the shops on my lunch it was cold and windy, so probably not the greatest of choices!! Oops xxx

Green dream

Not quite feeling spring here yet, so still in the jumpers. Today's been crazy weather wise, hail, thunder, sunshine, wind and rain! 

I spent my morning at work then popped out for a yummy lunch with mum at a local town pub. I ate it too fast to snap a picture...whoops. Here's what I chose to keep me warm! Xoxo

What are you wearing today?

I've been digging through my clothes lately to update my work wardrobe, who else does it? Or is it just me?! Every few months clothes move over to my work side to make room for the new stuff! I forgot I even had this skirt but it's comfy and I love clothes that are stylish but you can wear them easily. It ticks a few boxes with the black and white trend :p

Jungle love

Green jungle trend.

I love these trousers, they are super comfy and great for work. Pairing with a black jumper to make them the star of the show and an extra pop with a statement gold necklace. I'm all for buying great pieces that are not overly priced. They were a great price in shhh don't tell everyone... Primark. 

I have a love hate relationship with this shop! But I pick up a few pieces that I love here and there. Don't knock it until you've tried it, and tried it a few more times ;p

What's trending?

Close to becoming spring 15 it's now time (well at least for me) to start dreaming about my new purchases. But being a year with a difference, this year I HAVE TO budget :( 

I'm attempting £100 a month to spend, this includes going out, clothes, beauty etc. so my budget is tiny, forgive me for posts that contain clothes from cheaper sites! I'll be spreading out the purchases throughout the months so I need to pick wisely and include my own items while trying to stay on trend. As we all know trends seem to come round again pretty quickly just with a few ever so slight changes.
I found this website rounds up spring15 PERFECTLY for me.   

Here's my break down on the spring/summer15 trends I want to be wearing from the above link... 

 

Simple, no fuss

I decided on a casual work outfit knowing I'd be running around a lot today! 

So happy the weathers getting better, now I get to wear my thinner cardigans! Finally! I kept my outfit simple with thick leggings, black ankle boots, plain white shirt and navy stripped baggy cardigan.

Finally a sunny Sunday! Does this mean the start of spring? I sure hope so as I'm itching to swap my wardrobes over and put the wolly jumpers away! 

I love black and white but when the suns out an added bit of brightness makes me even happier, especially pink! Got over keen with the sun and went to the local seaside town, but no ice creams yet :(

Saturday night lace love

Here's my Saturday night outfit and make up. I just love lace it's so easy to wear but has a real classy look to it, I paired my co-ord set with a black leather jacket to toughen up the look, black envelope clutch and some plain black heels.

I use bareminerals shade light for my powder foundation with a L'Oréal true match shade N2 underneath. 

I mixed my lip colour using a L'Oréal lip stain and YSL gloss on top to add sparkle (similar colours here and here)

Last years day at the races

A throwback. How I miss summer, especially when the snow falls. 

I'm wearing a Zara dress H&M blazer new look wedges and Riverisland bag. 

What you can't tell is I'm wearing tights, these are amazing from m&s you cannot even see the tell tale give away around your toes. A must buy!

I love this look, it feels so effortless yet I got so many compliments.
