Dweeb

I wore this outfit a few days ago, and was quite surprised that my hair-band got more attention than my t-shirt....although the t-shirt has DWEEB in huge bold letters on the front, I was given more compliments on my super cute hair-band that I bought for next to nothing from Primark (although most of the comments were that I was like the Statue of Liberty!)

                         



















                                
My hosuemate and I once came up with the business idea of 'Pimp my Dweeb'...it's still work in progress, but the t-shirt promoted the concept well! I bought this Topshop black skirt a wee while ago, I was instantly attracted to it as it gave a twist to a simple black skirt and let's face it a girl can never have too  many black skirts! 

A pair of glittery socks and my bargain hair band and badda bing badda boom, a simple Friday outfit that's suitable for work and most importantly the pub after work!


I'd probably wear this outfit with a patterned blazer next time, just to spice it up a little!

Holidays are coming....

The Coca Cola advert has made its 2012 debut which means Christmas is officially here! It was lush seeing Covent Garden Christmas'ed up and the Oxford street Christmas lights yesterday and definitely got me in the Christmas spirit!






Being in the Christmas spirit, my housemate Lily and I went on a little shopping spree on Sunday and I decided to treat myself to this gorgeous new speckled midi from Topshop. Easy, comfy and eye catching which makes the dress a winner!

I teamed the dress with another of my Sunday purchases, my new Office boots which I love love LOVE, and with my ever so charming London charm necklace which I purchased around the Jubilee. It's soooo adorable and in some ways a keep sakes for when I eventually move back to Wales! The Oxford street sign and the tea cup are my particular faves as it sums me up as a person to a T... I love shopping and tea!

Feeling the chill I wore this outfit with my leather jacket (B.C as I'ts literally on it's last legs but I refuse to get rid, and there's just no other leather jackets out there that I like!) and my tartan scarf for a bit of va va voom! 

Sorry that the photo's are a bit dark, i've linked the dress below so that you can see i's actual colour!

The Daily Grind

I really do hope the phrase 'the camera adds 10 pounds' is true, or I have seriously been overindulging in Starbucks' festive toffee-nut lattes after looking at this photo! Actually, after waking up to images from the Victoria Secret' fashion show I think it may be time to buy some trainers and make my return to the dreaded gym!

Working within the creative industry I'm blessed with being able to wear what I want to work, which is perfect as I'm showered, changed, breakfast'ed and out the door within half an hour..... so this is what I managed to chuck on yesterday. 





The shirt was actually from when one of my pals was having a clear-out I nabbed it straight away as a denim shirt is a wardrobe staple and it has a vintage feel to it which I adore! I teamed the shirt with my ASOS brooch, a dipped hem skirt, my Urban Outfitters belt to add a bit of grunge, Topshop boots and voila we have a 5 minute outfit and out the door!

My bag is barg from Zara which I haven't been able to find in stores and got mine on-line on Zara. It's honestly like a Marry Poppins bag and If I was to show you the content of my bag you would be horrified with the amount of stuff i've hoarded over the past week (I even have two copies of the Stylist) The bag is a perfect accessory with this seasons leather panelling trend...and did I mention it was £20 pounds!!!

That's all for now...and the countdown for the weekend begins.....NOW!!
