YouTube Video: Back to Work Lookbook || 7 Looks

So now I'm back at work, I thought I'd do a lookbook showing the kind of outfits I wear.  I filmed this a few weeks back and I think any bare leg looks would definitely have a pair of tights added now that it's turned much colder!

You can check out the video here.


I only work 2 days a week so the majority of my time is spent dressing pretty casual so my workdays make a nice change to my usual looks!

New YouTube Video || How I style: Leather Trousers

My god, I haven't posted for absolutely ages!!!

I've started a new job and had lots of shit happen (not relating to my job) but all sorted now and I managed to film this video today, which you can check out here.


I've been looking for a new pair of leather-look skinny jeans/trousers for a while now.  I have some from River Island which I did love but I hate how they go baggy around the knee!  Well, bring on the Boohoo ones!  They are the best pair I think I've ever owned.  They're so comfortable, they don't make that creaky noise when you walk, I just love them.  And they're high waisted.  Only problem with them is that the zip doesn't seem to like to stay up!!!  So I may get the zip changed.


All links to everything I'm wearing can be found on my youtube channel.  Apologies for the quality of these images, they're screen shots.

Anyway, hope you're having a good week.  I'm hoping to get an Office/Back to Work Lookbook up on my YouTube Channel by the weekend as well :-)

New YouTube Video: Fashion Haul - Zara, Topshop, River Island, H&M, Primark and more

I meant to post this the other day but I forgot!  I've been shopping AGAIN so I just thought I'd share with you what I got.  I've also put in clips of me wearing each item.  You can check out the video here.


Most of the things I've bought have been from the sale.  Oh and in case you do watch the video and wonder if I got the job I mentioned, I did!  I start in mid-August so some fab news for me!

Have a good weekend! x

Christening Outfit of the Day: Zara, Topshop, Zara!

Today, I went to my nephew's Christening





This is what I started out wearing.  The dress is from Zara and I got it in their sale for just £12.99.  I couldn't believe how cheap it was (I did a haul recently and it features on that, which you can check out here).  It has a zip across the middle so you can unzip it to make it look a bit more like a two piece.  

It was quite really warm today, overcast but still hot!  So I deliberately took another outfit for if I did get too hot, which I did!  My god, I was so hot in the service.  The Christening was part of the Sunday morning church service so we were there for about 90 minutes.  Afterwards, we headed to a local pub for the party and I switched into this.







Zara Shorts - £9.99 (sale)
Topshop Top - £38.00
New Look Shoes - Now £12.00!

I got quite a few compliments on this second outfit.  I love it.  And it is something you could wear casual as well if you just changed the shoes xx

My Son's 2nd Birthday: Outfit of the Night

I wasn't planning to blog this but I thought I'd show a few pics of yesterday, including the dress I wore for my little boy's 2nd birthday yesterday.  Unfortunately, they're not the greatest outfit pics as, like I said, I wasn't planning on blogging this.  But I think the dress is really cute so thought I'd show you.









I didn't bother wearing shoes as I was just in my garden.  I think I'm a bit of a hippie as I could quite happily never wear shoes again!  I'm more than comfortable walking around barefoot most of the time.

But I really do love this dress.  But it does make me feel a bit like a ghost in it.  I don't know, it's the sort of thing I imagine in a film where you see a ghost all dressed in white.  My mum told me I look like I belong on Little House on the Prairie!  

We all had a fabulous day yesterday, my son was spoilt rotten and we had a little BBQ for him in the evening.  I'm sure this dress will be reappearing on my blog soon so there will be better pics but it was a real bargain! x

Saturday Outfit of the Day/Night: Zara BARGAINS!!! #zarasale AND New YouTube Video: Summer Sale Fashion Haul

My niece had a little party for her 12th birthday.  It was only family but this is what I wore (plus a few pics of me and my boys!).











Zara Crop Top - £3.99 (sale)
Zara Stripey Shorts - £9.99 (sale)
Next Sandals - £30.00

So I got the top and shorts from the Zara sale.  So pleased with both of them and absolute bargains!!!  I also had a cardigan which I was taking on and off throughout the evening (but didn't make it to any pictures) but it was also in the Zara sale for about £15.  It's such great quality.  I'm sure it'll be something I live in so will probably be shown on here numerous times.  I can't find any of the links for the Zara things (including the cardigan!) but I did only get them on Thursday so they should still be around.

I also filmed a haul video earlier in the week which I've uploaded today and you can check out here.  A lot of it is sale things that I've picked up, but there's also some non-sale stuff. 



Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Wednesday's Outfit of the Day: Boyfriend Jeans

I went shopping yesterday and Primark had some amazing stuff.  I always find it hit or miss in there.  You either come out with loads, or come out with nothing.  If you don't want to spend any money, I find it's best to get yourself a basket on the way in.  Without fail, every time I do this, I never buy anything so end up walking round with a big empty clunky basket!








Primark Boyfriend Jeans - £13.00 
Zara Crop Vest (again, can't find the link but other colours here) - £5.99
eBay Kimono - £3.96(!!)
Primark Flower Belt - £5.00(!!!!!)
Next Sandals - £30.00
Primark Bangles and Necklace

So anyway, yesterday I bought these boyfriend jeans.  They are quite oversized so I went down a size and bought a 6.  My usual size generally ranges from an 8 to 10, depending on the shop (and how much I've been eating!!).  I really love these.  I used to have a pair from River Island back in about 2003 when I think they were in last time round but god only knows what I've done with those.  They were only £13 though so quite cheap, although possibly not that cheap for Primark.

I also got this amazing belt for just £5!!  I couldn't believe how cheap that was and was convinced it was a mistake so snapped it up before they changed their minds!  The kimono is also another big hit with me.  I got it from eBay (from a Chinese seller, it's brand new) and I have a feeling it may have originally been from Zara and just re-labelled.  Well either way, I'm not bothered because I love it.  You can dress it up, dress it down.  It's just a beautiful and very versatile piece.  

So anyway, happy hump day.  Only 2 more days until the weekend and just a week to go until my son turns two!!! x
