Styling the wooden watch | gifted

Beauty

I was very kindly gifted this beautiful wooden watch from JORD watches, it is so different to anything else I’ve every owned and very unique.

JORD pronounced Yode, make and sell hand crafted watches for men and women made from natural materials. The one I am styling is the Frankie series and can be found below.

The watch is really comfy to wear and looks great layer over the top of a jumper as it’s still way to cold to not wear sleeves. I was a bit worried it would look a bit too bulky and masculine but I don’t think that’s the case at all, I think it fits in well with my style and compliments the light colours I wear.

The £10 midi dress from Primark you all need

Beauty

This dress is the perfect autumnal piece of clothing, its a midi dress with a slide split from Primark. Not only was it super affordable at £10, it’s super soft! When I initially saw this dress, I liked it, but not enough to get it. So, I ended up going into Primark for the second time in a day to pick it up because I knew I needed it.

The dress is super flattering and I loved the idea of pairing it with a cropped knit over the top to give it the look of a midi skirt.

Spring has sprung 🌷 Femme Luxe {gifted}

Beauty

I recieved another little parcel from Femme Luxe, this time I picked out a snake print jacket and a pink oversized knit jumper. 

I love the style of the jacket, it’s really casual and oversized and I think it is the perfect look for a spring day. I don’t own any snake print, so I thought it would be a good addition to my wardrobe. I can see myself styling this with some denim shorts in the summer.

The link to the jacket is  here

This winter I have been loving just wearing an over sized jumper and jeans, and I have been doing the same for work but with trousers so I love this jumper.

It is very oversized and I actually think I could have sized down to have it a bit more form fitting, but I still love it. It is a lot more of a heavier jumper than others I have previously got from Femme Luxe but I love the quality of it.

Spring afternoons | {gifted} Femme Luxe Jumpers

Beauty

Just as the nicer weather is coming our way I thought I would share some new jumpers which were sent to me from FemmeLuxe. I got to pick which clothing I wanted to try, and as it turns out, I ended up picking the same jumper but in four different colours.

The first jumper is in a really lovely camel shade, I have never owned anything in this colour before, and I actually really like it. 
The style of these jumpers feels very 70’s to me, especially the camel colour. The material itself is really thick and you can definitely tell it is good quality and will last you until next winter.

Next up is an army green shade, I think this is one of my favourite shades, like the camel one, I 
have never owned anything this shade so it’s nice to add it to my wardrobe. 


https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/products/khaki-extreme-polo-neck-oversized-jumper-amber
I decided to try a mustard shade too, I think it goes really well with the tan skirt. I think the 
oversized sleeves as a little something to the jumpers, they make it stand out from other brands and I feel like the are quite flattering.

And lastly, this beautiful pink, I did intend on wearing this with black wet
look leggings and going for the ‘cool’ look, but I stupidly picked up my work trousers instead, so pink skirt it was.

Cosy knitwear from Femme Luxe {gifted}

Beauty

Femme Luxe are always so kind letting me pick out some of their clothes, as its winter I decided to get some cosy knitwear to add to my wardrobe.

First up we have this really cute oversized grey polo neck, this is so cosy and comfy it makes the perfect addition to my wardrobe. I love that this is perfect for days at home, lounging around the house but it is also great for work.
I don’t own any polo neck jumpers but I really do love the look of this one.
You can find it here in white as the grey has sold out.


The next jumper is this statement one, it is very similar to the grey, but a little less oversized. I love the colour of this one, it’s unlike anything I own so it’s always great to go a little out of your comfort zone.

You can find it here.
And last but not least is this cute baby pink off the shoulder jumper, this jumper is more lightweight than the other two so I can see myself wearing this for a bit longer as the weather gets warmer.
I think the off the shoulder style gives it a really cute, girly look and the wide sleeves add a very casual effect.
You can find it here.

2019 Goals

Beauty

Happy New Year, today is the first day 2019 so I figured I would start with some goals I want achieve over the next 365 days.

Hit 10k on Instagram

Instagram has been so temperamental over the past year with the changes made to it, it has made growing so much harder, but I’m still persevering on and trying to build it up. I’m currently on 7,600 so I think 10,000 followers is a very realistic goal reach hopefully by halfway through the year.

More Fashion Posts

In 2018 I really got into my fashion photography and grew a lot more comfortable in front of the camera rather than behind. I think some of my favourite photos from last year are of photos of me. In 2019 I want to create more fashion posts, be in front of the camera more and be more comfortable taking photos in random locations.

Get more creative

Over the past few months I feel like my photography style has become more creative, but I want to be even more creative. I want to go out and explore and take photos in new locations, I want to buy more props for flatlays and just create more content.

Grow my blog

I’m pretty sure this was on my list last year, but I definitely did not look after my blog this past year, I really neglected it and focused a lot more on Instagram. So in 2019 I will be posting twice a week (at least) for the whole year!

Cosy days in with Femme Luxe

Fashion

I was so very kindly let loose on the Femme Luxe website and aloud to pick out some dresses, as it is winter I decided to go for more of a cosy vibe.

The first dress is one of my favourites, it’s a gorgeous muted lilac, it just reminds me of cosy winter days all snuggled up watching your favourite. The jumper it’s self is quite thin, I don’t like a really heavy knit as I find them unflattering, but as this one is quite thin it really suits me.

The fit of the jumper dress is pretty much the prefect the length for me, I couldn’t get away with it being any shorter and calling it a dress.

Here is the link the dress

This black and white jumper dress is a really cute addition to my wardrobe, for me it is pretty much the perfect length, any one else over 5ft 3 would be wearing this as more of a jumper. But I think this will look really cute with tights and knee high boots and a big warm coat.

I love that the sleeves are wide and the block colours add a little something to the dress making it stand out.

You can find it here

Next up is this over sized sweatshirt, I own nothing like this nor have I seen anything like this in any other shop. I love the fact it’s a long hoody, which is perfect for cosy days.

You can find similar here

And last but not least we have this beautiful snake print shirt dress, I love the style of this dress as you can either dress it up or dress it down and it still looks good. As animal print is all in right now I figured I may as well jump on the band wagon and get in with the trend.

My new Adexe watch

Beauty

The lovely company Adexe contacted me for a second time to ask if I wanted another watch, it comes in brand new packaging which is absolutely gorgeous! I love the colours and how well they work together, as the box of so pretty it means that you can actually have the box out on display to protect your watch when your not wearing it.

As it is autumn now I deceived to switch up my watch style, I decided to go for something a bit darker. This is the style Mac Grande in rose gold, you can find it here.

I love have sleek and stylish the watch is, it can be worn very casually or it would look lovely on a evening out.

My normal watch style if petite, as I always thought the grande would look too big, but I absolutely love it! I think it is such a statement piece and I will get a lot of wear out of it.

Another great thing about Adexe and your new watch is that they provide you with two straps, that way you can switch up your watch look so easily just by changing the straps.

The perfect autumnal outfit

Beauty

It’s autumn!

I can’t believe summer is over already and we’re now well and truly in autumn, the nights are creeping in sooner and the temperatures dropping. But all of that means… being cosy, wearing cosy clothing and having cosy evenings. My first blog post for autumn is all about this perfect autumnal outfit.

Every thing I am wearing for today’s post is from last year apart from the cosiest, cutest cream/jumper from Femme Luxe (Click here to go to their website ).

I was very kindly able to pick out a few items from their site in order to create some really lovely autumnal looks, however the other 2 jumpers I chose do not fit me, but at least one does and that is all that matters!

As soon as I felt this jumper I knew it was a keeper, it is one of the softest jumpers I have in my wardrobe right now and that makes it perfect for autumn and winter. The jumper is also 30% wool which means it’s super warm anyway without having to layer too much on top or underneath.

I love the oversized sleeves and how cropped it is, this makes it so easy to wear with high waisted skirts.

You can purchase the jumper here

I find the fit of this jumper really flattering, it’s the perfect cropped length to wear with skirts and the over sized arms make it super cosy! This is definitely a new staple in my wardrobe and I know I will get a lot of wear out of this over autumn and winter! I’m not normally a white jumper kind of girl (because I normally spill anything and everything down me) but I love the look of this one so much!

A huge thank you to Femme Luxe for sending me it!

Lost in the sunflowers

Beauty

How is summer pretty much over, the past 6 weeks of my holidays actually seem like the longest 6 weeks ever, I’ve done so much, had so much fun and really enjoyed my summer.

I am lucky enough to live really close to a sunflower field, so I took a visit (well 2 visits) there to get some snaps before summer disappeared.

The field was huge and there were so many sunflowers which meant it was great for plenty of photo opportunities!

My shorts are originally from New Look but I picked these up from a charity shop for only £3! I have been loving buying bargains, either from car boots or charity shops, it makes shopping so much more interesting and satisfying as you have to search to find the hidden gems.

The top is from Shein.com and was less than £10 and I have got so much wear out of it this summer!

The shoes I’m obsessed with right now

Beauty

I was recently contacted by the website Everything5pounds.com and asked if I would like to promote some pieces from their site, I said yes, obviously! Over the summer I have placed a few orders on their site and actually love their shoe collection, especially their sandals more than anything else I had seen online or in shops. So I knew I would be able to find cute things that I could style. Just because it’s “cheap” doesn’t mean it’s a load of rubbish, they stock a lot of really great brands at a really low price. Although none of the shoes I bought were a specific brand, I have bought sandals from there in the past that were from Urban Outfitters. I think that is also a really great aspect of the site, you really don’t know what brand your buying until it turns up, if it’s a less known brand then that’s ok, if it’s a pretty good brand than you’ve got yourself a bargain! Either way, I think of you can find something on there for £5 I think you’ve got yourself a bargain, I sure know I have.

So, they let me pick 4 items and I got to choose from their whole site, I feel like buying clothes is a risky business especially when your not sure on the brands and the sizing, but instead buying shoes is a lot easier. I decided to pick out 4 pairs of shoes, I don’t know why I need 4 pairs, but their all mine now!

As it’s nearing the end of summer I wanted a really cute pair to see out the end of summer and the start or autumn. I have been eyeing up these pink tassel shoes for well over a month now, but I was a bit like “will I actually wear them?”. But as they were going to be free, I decided to bite the bullet and get them!

When I opened the package they were the first ones I pulled out and I knew straight away they were the ones for me! I’ve never had backless style or been one for tassels, but these shoes screamed my name!

They fit so well, I got a size 5 and they feel really comfy. I actually cannot get over how cute they are!

I absolutely love the look of them paired with the £10 Primark dress, I am attending a wedding reception in a couple of weeks time and this is going to be my outfit for sure!
