Certain Romance

With hearts dotted all over my shirt, and a pastel pink fluffy number on, I definitely had my hopeless romantic hat on this day.

And if this wasn't enough, my bright Calpol/Pepto Bismol coat came along for the ride too.

My skinny jeans came to break up this sickeningly sweet and pastel theme, and the sensible and grown-up leather accessories in my life brought everything back down to earth from the fluffy, dreamy clouds.

I recently received this classic beauty in my life as pass-me-down from my mum and I am besotted with it.

Everything from the iconic and simple monogram to the detail of the engraving on the shiny, gold buckle.

A week or so ago I went to a fancy dress party for my friend's birthday dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and when I do fancy dress, I don't so it by halves! So, I got some blue contacts to match her, and I loved them so much, I still wear them time-to-time when I fancy a change. I think they're a really fun and non-committal way to experiment with your look!

The more and more I try to find the perfect balance between dressing for the playful and classic sides of me, the more I find myself experimenting more with what I wear, and it's nice to break out of a rut and try new things.

Hope you're all well,

Easy does it

It was one of days filled with running errands and doing things pottering around the house, with a hair appointment in the middle.

So I went for comfy in a plain cropped white t-shirt, and some leather-look leggings, but when it came to stepping out of the house, I threw on a shirt and slipped on some boots, and really liked the monochrome moment I was having.

Sometimes you outfit you just throw together, can end up being so much nicer than any outfit that you spent time pondering over while stood in front of your wardrobe.

I love the hearts on this shirt which I think bring a quirky and cute twist to a otherwise casual shirt.

The hearts continued around my neck with this necklace of a watch I've had for a while, and I just like how the red of it gives this black & white ensemble a pop of colour, which I went with for some bright lips as well.

I've found myself dressing a little bit less girly as it were recently, and as much as I love twirling aroudn in my dreses and bow in my hair, and I'll continue to, it's nice to branch out and step out of your comfort zone and try new styles and looks, especially when you feel like you feel like you're in a bit of a rut, which I can do sometimes when I feel like I'm zipping yet another dress up.

Hope you're all well,

Speak soon,
