Boxing Day Blooms

Dress - 'Madam Butterfly' - Gorgeously named Bullring Boutique
Shoes - Debenhams (Sale 2 years ago)
Bag - EBAY
Jewellery - Sparkly Christmas prezzies <3
Nails - Chanel 'Corramandel'
Lippy - MUA

Hello my beauties. Happy Christmas! The last couple of days have been a haze of eating too much, drinking too much and generally anything that ends in 'too much'. I very much feel like an overstuffed Christmas Turkey - Waddling is so in Vogue, no? For the annual Boxing Day outing I stuck to what I know best - Short, Floral and with a slash of red lippe. The dress is curtesy of my lovely little sister -apparently she aw it and immediately declared it a 'Sarah Dress' my she knows me well! Show me anything with an olde worle pattern and a little bit of lace and I'm putty in your hands. Think I went a little Doll house chic with my patent shoes and matchy nails. Ah well - Indulge me - It is Christmas afterall!

Todays plans include a Winter Walk with the gorgeous boyfriend and new camera - match made in heaven (I hope). Then a festive 'Blitz' of my room. Lots of selling coming up as I attempt to tackle the wardrobe of doom once and for all.

I hope you've all had a beautifl time and are fat and happy as cats right now.

Oh and yes, I cut my fringe. Two minutes before going out - with my sister in the bathroom. Thankfully it worked ;)

Three ways for Thursday

Originally todays post was going to be 'Threeway Thursday' but having thought about it for more than 3 seconds... yeah, not too PG friendly. 

As my yesterday consisting of stuffing my face (hello Nandos) curtesy of my ever genorous boyfriend, and picking up some much needed christmas shopping (sooo behind the times!) I'm currently feeling very full and slightly calmer about the ever nearing pandemonium that is Christmas!

Today, as the title suggests I've put together a requested post showing a few different ways to wear the same item. I loved doing this post as one of my fave things to do is come up with multi outfit choices for each clothing item I have (yes-I know I'm sad)

I decided to base my outfit builds around thiss

gorgeous Boohoo gillet which I've been chucking on over everrrything this Autumn/Winter.

Everything such as:

 Leather and Leopard print for a slightly rock n roll look perfect for drinks with friends or date night.

 Over a Maxi dress to work your summer essentials all year round. Layered over a long sleeved tee once it gets reallly nippy of course ;)

(Applogies for the blurry image here my camera is literally on deaths door - hello Father Christmas!)

With some bright jeans, long sleeved Aztec print and chunky boots for a shopping friendly and cosy outfit.

Which one is your favourite? How would you wear this gillet?
Have a lovely Thursday <3

What I wore Wednesday - Frank and Doll edition

Hi honey's how're we all doing today? I'm so dissapointed to tell you all that my bug hunt got cancelled yesterday because of the rain - booo!

Ha-ha on to more impressive and glamorous news now ;) a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a piece of clothing from a fabulous clothing line named Frank and Doll.

Frank and Doll are a fabulous London based boutique who combine classic chic styling with a real rock n roll edge. Their selection of goodies includes incredible winter knits and fierce slogan tee's. In short - everything I love in a brand! Check out their goodies HERE. I warn you though, your bank account may feel a little empty afterwards.

And now let's have a look at the gorgeous winter warmer that I was lucky enough to get my hands on:

The ultime winter knit I'm sure you'll all agree?! You can order your own version HERE. A little warning - they do come up quite large which I personally love but if you prefer your knits a little more fitted it'd perhaps be better to go down a size (always a nice feeling right?) I'm wearing the extra small as you can see it's still fairly oversized.

I teamed mine with

Leather Leggings - H&M
Suede Wedges - H&M
Beanie Hat - Curtesy of my daddy ;)

Big big thanks to Frank and Doll and I'd advise you all to go and check them out! You wont be dissapointed

Decadent Winter Purchase

Hello beauties.

As those of you who've followed this blog for a while/follow me on twitter will know,  I am rather partial to complaining about being cold/freezing/chilly/frozen/all of those. 

This complaining is generally accompanied by endless longing for that perfect Winter coat that will keep me toastier than toast yet sleak and stylish as opposed to stuffy and puffy.

Well. After endless procrastination that beautiful day has finally arrived. Spurred on by the terrible influence that is my mother I purchased my very own devlishly gorgeous and decadently expensive Winter Coat  (decadently expensive for me anyway I'm the queen of not wanting to spend over £30)

Here it is in all it's cosy winter glory:

Outfit

1. The COAT - H&M
2. The Shoes - New Look
3. The Hat - Accessorise
4. The Gloves - H&M

I think I'm in love.
Have a good weekend girls

What I wore Wednesday - 21/09/11

Hi my loves, hope you're all well! Finally Wednesday so the weekend is half way here - thank the lord?! Today I've been getting back into the swing of working and whilst I've had a great time my brain has now degenerated into a pile of sleepy mush (yeah even more mushy than normal - shocking huh?!) 

I've got a cool little OOTD for you today that I wore sometime last week (saturday I think but uh... mushy brain syndrome) to see my best friend for a good old catch up. A lovely night was had and it was the perfect opp to try out my new favourite hairstyle...

1. Dress - H&M basic piece that I've worn 999 times in about 3 weeks

2. Tights - Primark absolute bargain £2.99

3. Headband - Actually a vintage Scarf (oh my creativismn knows no bounds... or my power at making up words)

4. Mary Jane shoes - New look about 100 years ago
5. Lipstick - Maxfactor Lipstain in '5' (can't remember the colour)

6. Earrings - Vintage

7. Nails - Chanel 'Corramandel'

Oh and for my regulars just a little note ;) I'm not pregnant or post boob-job I've just invested in the most wonderful padded bra from Primark. Currently walking into a room 10 minutes ahead of myself for the first time in my life and absolutely LOVING it ;)

 

What I wore Wednesday

Hello beauties, I'm well and truly back in the gloomy old Middlands - Boo! Very much missing the sun, the sea, the sand and the absolutely amazing time I had on my little mini break.

Don't fret, lots of seaside pics will be heading your way soon (need to sort out my ginormous folder of them first)

For now I have an OOTD for you that I wore out for what was one of the most gorgeous meals of my life (red pepper + goats cheese risotto - mhmmm!) at the hotel.

(Also hey sneak preview at the sea ;))

 

(Shh - dont tell him he's on here too <3)

- Silk shirt - Vintage (thanks mama)
- Leather Skirt H&M also seen here
- Shoes - New Look
- Silk Shrug - Primark

The silk shrug/cardigan was actually a holiday purchase (I know I know but it'd be rude not to right?) which I found in the most gorgeous and civilised Primark I've ever been to (Birmingham you need to learn from this place) and thanks to it's rather irresistable combination of silky smooth fabric and deceptive warmth - managed to keep me goosebump free on the seafront! I think it's earnt a strong place in my wardrobe.


So there you are loves, first of many little glimpses into Sarahs seaside adventure ha-ha hope you're all well

Today I have for you a little OOTD (literally cannot remember the last time I posted one?) which is what I wore today for a lovely little jaunt to my local with the boyfriend where he spoiled me with crisps and orange juice (I'm not being sarcastic I honestly loved it ha-ha) here's what I was rockin:

 

 

Burnout Tee - Topperrs (of course)
Leather skirt - H&M (can see this being this A/W obsession piece)
Boots- AMAZON (fookin bargain £18 reduced from £60)
Hat - I have no idea but have been wearing it to death
Jewellery - ASOS / Boyfriend <3

So yeah there's me on this Scruffy Sunday ( excuse the messyish hair) hope you're all well!
