Pink Friday

Heya loves, hope you're all well. Don't worry I haven't gone all Nicki Minaj on you - as amazing as she might be at rapping I'm the exact opposite! However, as you might have guessed by the title today we're looking at all things pink.

Now I've never been one for pink, aside from my brief obession with the Pink Ladies (gotta looove Grease right?!) I've always firmly placed it in the 'not for me' section of clothing choice. Lately, however I've been more and more impressed and dare I say it... interested in the pretty pink things on offer. Whilst I'm not saying I'm about to become Barbie and deck myself out from head to toe in a pink explosion, a little exploration might be beckoning in the near future...

Watch this space!

Until then here's my favourite pieces that are in stores at the moment:


So there we are loves - get girlie in style!
What's your take on pink?

03.11.2011- My Month In Pictures: October

It feels like I say the same thing every time I put this post together, but I can't believe the year is almost over. There's just under a month to go until I turn 22 (scary stuff) and shortly after that Christmas will be upon us...and I haven't even started my present shopping yet. Before I start panicking too much about that, here's what I got up to in October:

 3rd October- Made the most of the unexpected heatwave at the start of the month by going for a lovely long walk and picnic.

 13th October- Made these cupcakes after watching (and being very inspired by!) the final of The Great British Bake Off.

14th October- Received these lovely goodies in the post from Cheap Frills as a thank you after posting about their collection.

 19th October- Caught this beautiful sunset on camera.

 19th October- Ate far too many of these macaroons at the Oasis Event.

23rd October- Was amazed to find this fox enjoying the sunshine on my neighbour's shed!

How did you spend your October?

Designer Looks For Less 01/11/11

Hello loves, how're we all doing? As most of you know by now I've had a pretty awful week and whilst I'm not going to bore you all with doom and gloom what I do want to say is a MASSIVE heartfelt thank you to all of you on twitter who've been so lovely and supportive! 

On to brighter subjects now! Today I have some pretty awesome 'Designer Looks For Less' (if you hadn't guessed already by my subtle title) to share with you. Now, I always love doing these posts but I have to say today's finds have been my faves so far!



Let's have a look:
 First up we have this rather deeelicious fluffy coat! I'm not exaggerating when I say there's nothing clothing wise that actually more appealing to me than one of these right now. For the chilly walks to work in the morning, the late night excursions that should come with a frost-bite warning and for just feeling cosy for a change these babies would do it all. Oh and how utterly ridiculously glamorous are they?

 Next up, we have the most exquisite of tops. Both just radiate elegance and opulence. The perfect top for wowing your date in the candlelight or for some delectable after-dark drinks with the girls. Team with anything from a pencil skirt to tapered trousers for a look that is pure haute-couture.

 We then have these gorgeous shorts. Perfect for throwing on over a pair of black tights for a heritage-chic look this Autumn/Winter. With their gorgeous Autumnual tones these would look just divine for a country walk and pub dinner with your man. Team with a gorgeous cosy knit and the boots below and you really would be the embodiment of Autumn Style. 
 Next up we have these beautties. Now, I'm not sure about you but I actually cannot think of anything that these wouldn't go with? I meen from skinny jeans and a blazer for an off-duty chic ensemble, to toughening up a gorgeous floral dress or keeping your leggings and sweater combo cosy - they're just perfect. Oh and they're pretty damn hot too!

Lastly, what girl doesn't need a bit of arm-candy? Sorry boys, I dont meen you! These lovelies would finish of any outfit to perfection. Classic brown tones work with anything from neutrals to bright pops of colour. Classy and practical - check out those sturdy handles - these would definitely see you through a long working winter.

So there we  are loves! Another load of gorgeous looks for a hell of a lot less!
Hope you enjoyed!
