What I Wore Wednesday - AX Paris edition

Hello chicks! (I was going to add the male version of chicks as well but then realised it was far too rude for a respectable blog like this -coughs-) How're we all doing? I've had a manic day at work followed by a 'lovely' couple of hours completing night-school work - very sleepy girly now!

Before I do my best impression of sleeping beauty though, I have an amazing treat to showcase with you all. I was recently offered the chance to share with you lovelies an item of clothing from the fabulous website AX Paris.

AX Paris are a gorgeous clothing brand that sell a range of gorgeous goodies at good ole high-st prices! A must visit this season with their incredible party dresses (THIS and THIS are my top favourites) AX Paris look set to be right up there with the best this festive season.

For my own little treat I wanted something that would be versatile enough to style casually for shopping, socialising and other festive missions, but smart enough to wear to the office or out for drinks should the mood arise. I think the item I chose really fits my brief, let's have a look :

 And the bundled up in a leather jacket - perfect for the cold eddition :

I'm in love with it.
Big thankyou to AX Paris required!

I found that in terms of fit the clothes run true to size. I'm a generally more of a 6 than and 8 and the 8 on me was slightly loose which I did expect and actually prefer as I think it looks much more flattering than a squeezed in look.
In terms of comfort and wearability I cannot fault this dress, it's one of those rare meetings between style and comfort. My only advice would be that if you're planning on wearing this in the day - layer up! It's lovely lightweight material is definitely goosebump friendly ;)

Get your hands on your very own HERE for just £25.00

Also, keep your eyes peeled ;) I have a VERY exciting AX Paris oppurtunity coming your way soon ;)
Happy midweek!

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

What I Wore Wednesday 19/10/11

Hey lovelies! How're we all doing? Mid-week blues or happy that the weekend is finally approaching? Is it just me or has today been absolutely furrreeezing? I've had two pairs of tights on under my work trousers and still been shivering-brrr! 

Winter is truly upon us it seems.

Appologies for slacking on the outfit posts again lately - finding someone to take the pics is quite tricky and I have a >terrible< track record of self photographing - including the time I dropped the camera on my toe, down the stairs... the list goes on.

Today though I managed to bribe my little sister (big love to her-woo) and here's a couple of snaps of one of my fave cold weather combos:

 

1. Jumper - Republic - My absolute >favourite< this Autumn/Winter
2. Skirt - H&M Leather is my thing we all know this ;)
3. Boots - Internacionale (baargain £12.00)
4. Beret - Accessorise (does anyone know if I can stick in the washing machine?)
5. Rings - Assorted

Have a good night sweeties <3

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
