Leggings Lust

29 January 2013

I can't stop wearing leggings at the moment. I used to be a skirt and dresses girl, I barely ever wore trousers. Whilst I'm still not a big jeans fan, leggings are definitely taking over my wardrobe. And not boring black ones, the more unusual the pattern the better.

1. Miss Selfridge Barbie Printed Leggings - £28. I walked past these in the Miss Selfridge store yesterday and had a head-turning moment. I can't decide how I feel about these - it's like a combination of awe and dismay! If they were half the price I'd definitely buy them, even if just to wear around the house!

2. Black Milk Cloud Print Leggings - $75 AUD. These are so beautiful - I think they'd look amazing with an oversized white t-shirt and shades in the Summer.

3. Black Milk Hills of Gondor Leggings - $85 AUD. I'm definitely going to be showing these to Alex, maybe he'll love them so much and buy them for me?

Have you bought any Black Milk leggings yet? I'm not sure if I can justify the price but I've heard the quality is amazing.

Weekend Ootd

26 January 2013

I thought I'd put a little outfit together with a few of the items from my recent haul posts. You'll have to excuse the photos in the mirror, I do have a tripod and remote and the perfect place to take outfit photos but that room has become a major dumping ground and needs a little sort-out :) Why is that no matter how many rooms you have in a house there's always one room that is a constant dumping ground? Does anyone else do that?




Jumper: New Look
Disco Pants: Glamorous
Necklace: Ever Ours
Watch: River Island
Bangle: Disney Couture
Spike Bracelet: Ever Ours

I wore this outfit for a trip to Meadowhall for a spot of shopping, pizza and a film with a friend. 

New Look Haul

25 January 2013

Oh yes, it's another haul from me. My only excuse is I needed some retail therapy after the stress of deadlines recently! I actually ordered a lot more than this from New Look but, as always, a few things had to go back including a skirt that looked like a bin liner and a faux fur waistcoat that Alex said made me look like a Gorilla! I don't always listen to his opinions on fashion as often he doesn't have a clue but this time he was definitely right!

I actually bought 3 crop tops from New Look (one isn't featured as it's boring and black). I must've had my holiday head on when I put the order in as it definitely isn't crop top weather at the moment!


I don't normally go for slogans or fringing but this just screamed festival and we're hoping to go to Glastonbury this year so I'll probably wear it then.



Rose Print Bra and Knickers - £9.99 and £2.99
I have an obsession with anything rose printed (as you can probably tell from my blog background), I have done for years now so I couldn't resist this underwear set.



 The half sleeves on this jumper make it perfect for Spring.


White Skater Skirt - £16.99 
How cute is this skirt? I can't wait to wear it with bare legs in the summer.


 Horse Print Crop Top - £7.99
This is actually from the Teens section but I bought it in 12-13years and it's plenty big. I'm starting to shop in the teens section more these days, it's cheaper and fits fine so why not? Maybe my style should be a bit more mature but I don't care haha.

I went off New Look for a little while but recently, whenever I go in or look online I find loads of things I like. I don't know if it's them or me that has changed but I'm not complaining.

What do you think of New Look? 



Ever Ours Haul

24 January 2013

After seeing Katy from Little Winter in a beautiful pleated dress from Ever Ours I headed over there to see what they had to offer. And I couldn't believe my eyes as there was an awesome sale to be enjoyed! Here's my little haul of dresses and jewellery.




White Collar Dress - £5 (Sold Out) 














I was a bit concerned that the dresses were one size only but they fit perfectly and I particularly like the pleated one. I think I got some good bargains, I might keep some of the jewellery for gifts, especially the globe and binoculars one and the bunting one as, although they're cute, I can't see me wearing them.
The whole order only came to £18.50 for 2 dresses, 4 necklaces and a bracelet!

Have you got your hands on any bargains this month?
