Ripped knees and Jungle themed

Top: New Look// Jeans: ASOS// Shoes: New Look// Necklace: Next (Photos c/o Mae Reddaway)

It was pretty dull outside the day these photos were taken, so I decided to try and brighten things up by wearing a couple of new purchases from New Look. I've always shopped in the store, but it's definitely become a firm favourite of late as New Look's collections become increasingly wearable and hit all the trends head on. As I've explained previously, I'm attempting to inject a little more colour into my wardrobe and this parrot print top has been a god send. The print, reminiscent of Moncler Gamme Rouge's SS14 collection brings a little joy to any wardrobe and the button down front makes this such an easy to wear piece. On my recent holiday I unbuttoned it and used it as a cami style cover up, on top of a plain navy blue vest top.

Whilst shopping, I couldn't resist these amazing shoes, I've always longed for a pair of white heels which I could actually walk in. Don't get me wrong, I'm a dab hand with heels, but being 5'8 I try not to tower over everyone in four inch monsters. These practical shoes are perfect for everyday and look sweet with dresses or jeans - I even tackled Lancaster cobbles in them (and won!)

The jeans are one of my favourite purchases of the moment. EVERYONE is wearing ripped knee jeans. Formerly the choice of stylists or the Olsen twins, since they landed in Toppers, ripped knees have become this season's trouser. I love the skintight look of the ripped knees on the high street, however they weren't the most versatile trew I've worn, so I was delighted to find these ASOS beauts on ebay for a cheeky ten quid.

Having not exercised for a while (Any Nantwich Netball teams around?) I really appreciate the high waisted style of these jeans and the mottled blue dye goes with pretty much everything. Although I'm a bit of a cheap skate when it comes to clothes, I'd have definitely purchased these at any price, I've worn and worn them already, making these beauts a bit of a bargain.

Back in Lancaster for graduation this week - more photos to follow!

Top: Next (Charity Shop)//Jeans: Charity Shop// Belt: Topahop// Shoes: River Island// Necklace: Asos// Bag: Mulberry

So just a quick post today because I've been so busy! I've just bought my first car and been working non-stop, so it's busy busy busy for me at the mo! So here's something I wore on sunday while the sun momentarily shined.

The top was an absolute bargain from a charity shop and I've had so many lovely comments from friends when wearing it. It's got an aztec-style print on it and although it's brown (not my fave colour) it looks quite sophisticated when on. For simplicity, I teamed it with my old fave's; my black skinnies, which I always roll up so they sit just above the ankle.

The shoes and necklace are the newest additions to my ever-expanding wardrobe/jewellery collection. The shoes I've posted about before, but I really haven't had them off my feet and, for £28, I'm sure they've paid for themselves by now! The little cross was £6 from ASOS and it goes with everything. The style is so simple and so delicate that it's an everyday piece that could be dressed up or down.

Oh and don't get me started on the bag...it's my baby. End of.

So there it is, a little snapshot of my look from my bank holiday weekend wardrobe. Enjoy the rest of your week, although I must admit, today seriously felt like Monday all over again!


Muchos besos!

Top: Topshop, Leggings: Glamorous, Shoes: Matalan, Necklace: Acceessorize

I promised I would showcase these beauties, so here they are! Tahh dahh!

These gorgeous disco pants are from GlamorousUK and I am head over heels with them. The service from Glamorous was top-notch, I got speedy delivery alongwith text and email alerts from the lovely Glamorous and their fab courier service telling me exactly where my parcel was.

These leggings have been blogged about a few times by various bloggers, and at £29.99 they're a dead-ringer for the more expensive American Apparel version.

As you can probably tell from the pictures they're not jet black, more of a charcoal colour which I think makes them look way more expensive than they actually are. I've had loads of compliments from friends!

This look was hastily put together for a last minute visit to a local bar for some drinks. The dress/top is from Topshop, but I actually picked it up for £4.99 in the charity shop - it still had the Topshop tag on! (was meant to be £20.00, so I got a great deal!) The shoes and the necklace are staples for me, they not majorly impressive, but are the type of thing you can throw on - they go with everything.

So thank you Glamorous for your lovely service and fantastic disco pants! I will be spending alot more money with you!

Have you found any really great sites to buy from? Made any fantastic purchases from Glamorous?
