Orange and Blue

 | Jeans Dorothy Perkins Petite | Top Topshop | Necklace Topshop | Heels Newlook |

It seems like it has been forever since I've blogged (I cant believe its almost been a month!) and I've completely fallen off the blog radar. I had no idea uni work could take over my life so much but unfortunately it has. With my deadline looming and a new job starting soon after, I've literally had no time to think of anything else. Let alone get time to go out and blog. However, I gave myself a much needed break earlier today and enjoy the lush weather we've been having recently - bring on summer! 
Ive been wearing jeans a lot more recently which is very different compared to my trusty leggings I wear every day. I find it super difficult to find jeans that fit as I'm pretty short, these Dorothy Perkins Petite jeans have been my staple denim for years now and I re-buy them every so many years. I teamed them up with this gorgeous top from Topshop, I absolutely love the colour and the flattering length sleeves. I think its perfect for those spring days. I also wore my amazing Topshop necklace which I picked up not long ago. I really love how it completely finishes off the look of the top and makes it look so summery. Too add height to my little body I wore these beautiful heels from Newlook. I love the chunky heels that make wearing heels a little more bearable. I love the colour combination of orange and blue, I think theres something really modern and fresh about it. I cant wait to wear this outfit more, possibly more with sandals for boots on those cooler days. 

What colour combination do you love at the moment?

Feeling fresh, Feeling new

Jumper Newlook | Scarf Zara | Boots Uggs | Jeans Dorothy Perkins | Necklace Newlook

Happy New Year everyone! 

I cant believe its 2014! This year is such a big year for me I actually cant wait for it! Im turning 21, I'm graduating, I'm leaving Southampton to somewhere new (or wherever I can get a job) and I'm going on holiday to Portugal with the boy in Summer.
I thought seeing as its a new year, I would give my blog a little re-vamp. I like doing this every now and again, mainly because I get bored, but I'm learning so many things computery from blogging, I thought I should put it to good use. I really like how it looks at the moment and can see me keeping it for a while.
Excuse the set up at the moment - student accommodation isn't the nicest place to take blog photos.
This outfit is something i've been wearing loads since I got this jumper for Christmas. I already have this jumper in pink so asked for this colour to go with my collection (anyone else do that?) I absolutely adore this tiffany mint blue colour and think it looks so good with my jeans, which I need to wear more. I have been wearing my new Zara scarf with everything even if it doesn't match, lucky it matches really nicely with this jumper and jeans combo. I also tried it on with this statement necklace from Newlook. The jewels are slightly iridescent which matches the jumper perfectly.  I think it makes this outfit slightly smarter than my massive zara scarf. 
I cant wait to wear this outfit more and hopefully without a coat on when the weather gets a bit warmer! 

Did you get anything for Christmas that you cant stop wearing?

BOOHOO SUMMER DRESS

| Dress Boohoo £15 | Necklace Dorothy Perkins £5 sale | Sandals Newlook £7.99 |

This dress has been so trusty and reliable all year. I bought this from boohoo last year around Christmas time and loved wearing it with tights and boots. However, this summer, I seem to have been living in this dress to the point where i've washed it and worn it the day after! I love the simplicity of this dress and how the necklace finishes off the outfit perfectly. These sandals have been comfy all summer for me and they go with everything so it was a no-brainer to wear these with my outfit. I wore this to a BBQ one night and it was the perfect casual and comfy dress to wear.  
I really want a dress in this smock style for winter but longer sleeved. I think It would be perfect with my Uggs and Zara bag. 

Have you found your perfect comfy dress?

NIGHT OUTFIT - GREEN SHORTS

| Green Shorts H&M £10 | Top H&M £6.99 | Heels Newlook £25 | Clutch Newlook £10 | Necklace Dorothy Perkins £5 |

I know i've blogged about these shorts before, but I styled them recently for a night out. I love how versatile they are as they're tailored shorts so they are smart and crisp. I styled it simply with a white top which is slightly cropped. I think this shows off the top and fit of the shorts. My necklace was a no-brainer for this outfit as it picks out the green and adds a touch of class to it. My nude bag and shoes were perfect for this as it lengthens my legs and so easy to wear with everything else I own. 
This is a perfect outfit for those summer dates or even a wedding. 

Do you own the perfect nude heels?

NIGHT OUTFIT - WHITE SHIRT

| Shirt H&M £14.99 | Jeans Dorothy Perkins Petite £25 | Necklace Dorothy Perkins £5 Sale | Clutch Newlook £10 | Shoes Newlook £25 |

The weather has got a lot cooler for us in the UK which i'm surprisingly ok about. It means I am not sweating as much and can put a few more clothes on! I went out for drinks a few nights ago and decided to wear this outfit. I love the whole jeans and shirt look. I think its effortlessly chic and very smart. I teamed it up with nude heels and clutch from newlook - I love the pop of colour on the back. The bag matched my necklace perfectly and brings out the blue in it. I've never really worn a necklace over my shirt before but I decided to give it a try and really like how it looks. This is defiantly my new go to night out look. 

What do you think of this look? Do you like wearing necklaces over shirts?

STATEMENT NECKLACE

| Necklace Dorothy Perkins £5 Sale | 

Im not one to wear jewellery, let alone statement jewellery. However there are certain outfits that need a statement to complete them. I found this necklace whilst checking out the sales. I love this so much as it is so delicate and pretty looking yet big enough to make the statement i'm after. For only £5 reduced from £15, I really couldn't complain. 
I love the mixed metals combined with the green and pink fabric. The jewels add a touch of sparkle and femininity to the chains. 

Do you like statement necklaces? Do you have any?
