one cool cat

Cat Vest, Miss Selfridge
Aran Jumper, Asos
High Shine Leggings, American Apparel (via Asos)
Ballet Pumps, New Look

This is just what I wore at the weekend, obviously it's a bit chilly to just be wearing vest tops at the moment so I put my new aran jumper on top, oh and then my Jack Wills Gilet and yep I was STILL cold. It's nearly the end of May, what's going on!?

Actually had a bit of an awkward moment in H&M wearing this outfit where I bumped into another girl wearing a cream aran jumper and navy Jack Wills Gilet. Cue awkward look and both of us walking off in opposite directions haha! Obviously a popular outfit choice for 20-something students.

My beautiful cat Tilly sadly passed away last week so when I saw this vest top the next day I knew I had to have it as a little homage to her <3

Pastel Skull Vest, Miss Selfridge



Just a few things I've bought this week. I'm absolutely in love with the jumper, I know it's nearly summer (not that you'd know it from the weather) but I've been wanting an Aran jumper for years but never been able to find one that fit right. I saw this one in the Asos sale down from £35 to £14 and thought why not - I can always return it. The smallest size they had was a size 14 but I like it baggy, it has a really nice weight to it too. Will definitely get lots of wear from it when winter comes around!

I've been umming and ahhing about getting these high shine leggings for months. I keep seeing Lily in them and love how she wears them but I wasn't sure if they'd be very flattering on me, not to mention what size I'd be in them. Anyway I took the plunge and I'm sooo glad I did, they're the most comfortable leggings I've ever worn - I just don't want to take them off! They're like a second, super smooth skin. Plus, I see they're sold out on asos now so I'm glad I got them when I did and I'll probably be getting a second pair when they're back stock!

The vest tops were just £10 in the Miss Selfridge Sale. I picked them up thinking they'd be good with shorts for the festival season.

I'm thinking of doing an outfit post soon, if I'm feeling brave enough!



The Life of Emily-Alice

19 May 2012

Just a quick post to explain why I've changed the name of my blog - from Glitter Sequins and Pearls to The Life of Emily-Alice.
It's pretty simple really, I just feel like this name explains better what I want my blog to be about - my life :) 
<3
I have plans to post a lot more often in future so watch this space.
