Rolling With The Punches...

Love Our Love Skirt from  Asos -  Lace Bandeau - New Look Necklace -
- Primark Clutch - Select Heels - Arty Ring 

With my love affair with all things high-waisted this skirt was like a dream come true. Scrolling through the pages of Asos I came across this Love our Love beauty and instantly needed it to join my collection of clothes. The canary yellow gives any outfit that pop of colour perfect for the summer months when an all black outfit ( my uniform) could come across a bit harsh. The material is thick enough to 'hold you' and actually assist in creating a shape instead of creating 100 more problems unlike the cheaper thinner varieties. I decided to go for a neutral finish by reaming it with these nude heels which were a steal at £16 from Select and a lace bandeau top. The over sized new look necklace creates an impact as the rest of my jewels were quite understated. I'm looking forward to reaming this skirt with some 80's style oversized tee's during the course of summer.. if you have any links to any sites with some good options please share away!

 

My house is nearly finished ( with renovation/moving drams aplenty) and once that's complete I'll begin the mass eBay clear-out once more and have more time for more posts!

Another Love ...

Zara Bomber Jacket & Shorts Set - DaisyStreet Wedges - NailBoutique Nails

The annual birthday night-out / reunion came round last weekend and with it came the trawl for an outfit for the night. I'd seen this Zara combo a couple of months back but the bomber jacket, if i'm honest, was my main wish-list addition. I tried on the 'set' and really liked how it was a more relaxed overall look but still not too dressed down. I think the bright print against the dark hue of the black, alongside the fabric choice, is what really gives it it's edge. Granted it's not the cheapest of outfits but at the same time i know i'll utilise the shorts and bomber separately. The wedges were a birthday treat from DaisyStreet and were super comfy! They've definitely been placed at the top of the favourites list.

My nails are from @NailBoutique_UK and are just glued on. I literally popped them on about 2 mins before these snaps whilst sipping on the first of many cocktails, and they've last till now! I've already touched base about a few more designs i'm after for the summer of fun. I'l be submitting a post on the Somewhatblonde blog page shortly and will pop a link on here to the full review & snaps.

Here's hoping the sunshine lasts and i can get more use out of this combo!

Blurred Lines ...

TopShop Cami - Topshop Mom Jeans - Primark Heels
Zara Clutch - Topshop Necklace

Bank holidays are far too underrated in my opinion, hello an extra day off and no alarm calls at the crack of dawn! This weekend saw me trot on out for the the birthday double. Night one was spent locally and we just headed out in St.Albans. I opted for a more 'dressed down' look than usual and think it may be a sign of things to come ( she says whilst currently bidding on a pretty dress aha). 

The jeans are the now famed Topshop Mom jean which i'm currently obsessed with, i just teamed it with topshop cropped vest, statement necklace and some gorgeous Primarni heels. I still can't believe i found them, especially as i was about to drop 60 birthday ££s on the Topshop monochrome version. Primark price? £12! Win! The kenzo inspired Zara clutch was a lovely little birthday surprise from one of my lovely ladies and i had to take it out with me literally 5mins after opening it! 

Saturday night saw the big birthday bash with about 30 of us headed to Hoxton Pony in Shorditch. More on that ( hopefully) in the next post, but miss clevercloggs here decided in my slightly tequila filled state that i would leave my phone, which had ALL pictures, in the cab. So i am currently scanning high and low for snaps and praying that the driver's nice enough to return it.

As ever thank you for popping by and i hope you've all had a fabulous bank holiday!

Nothing Could Ever Come Between Us...

Asos Dress - Topshop Kimono Jacket - LitteTeaCup Head Chain -
Kurt Geiger Heels

As the Birthday week got into swing i was getting totally spoilt rather early. Shopping trips by the dozen, dinners, cocktails & some rather snazzy gifts have ensured i start the week with smile ( oh god i hope i've not just jinxed myself there). Friday & Saturday nights saw the mischief get under way and this outfit was last minute option that ended up going down a treat. The head-chain was inspired by the lovely Shrada , after months of searching for the perfect one of her gorgeous ootd posts led me to this gem. I simply teamed it with a black Asos dress and my cousins KGs ( which i have officially taken hostage), the head piece meant i was able to keep the rest of he look pretty simple, though i did throw on the Topshop Kimono Jacket as the last minute. 

I can not wait to share with you loves my birthday outfits ( it currently stands at 4, which even by my standards is a ridiculous amount of socialising) & just some general snaps of the weeks antics.
Last but not least thank you to all the new ladies following and commenting. It does honestly mean so much and bring a smile to my face to think that you've taken the time to visit & comment.
*insert mass cheesy grin here*

Little Grey FairyTales, Little White Lies...

FDAvenue Dress - Topshop Bodychain - Ebay Bird Skull Pendant

Well I never thought I'd ever find myself on a Pink double Decker singing my heart out to Calvin Harris and sipping champers,but on Saturday night that's exactly what happened. This little hen party was always set to be a fun, if slightly messy affair and I can safely say it was a great night!  My dress was an old purchase from FD Avenue ( remember to get 30% off the site through out may with the code MKAURFASHION30) and the body chain a sale buy from Topshop last year for just £1! Though I haven't seen many on the high-street recently you can always pick up a few steals from the world of EBay.

With my Birthday round the corner I've being spying a lot of items I'd quite gladly find on my doorstep, which isn't good for the little saving mission currently underway. Over the past 3 weeks I've treated myself to a few bits thanks to funds earned via EBay and cheeky discounts.
I think I've got quite a nice mix of items....

Topshop Jeans & Crop - Asos Blouse and Split Skirt - Topshop Ankle Strap Heels - Mirrored Aviators - 
Ebay Cross Necklace & Bodychain  - Daisy Street Peep Toe Ankle Boots - Tobi 'Cute' Pendant

New Look Blouse - Ebay Leather Skirt  - Primark Wedges 

After my love of all things Black and Grey I returned to the world of 'colour' on Saturday night. As I was only having the one night out and the sun had come out to play I thought it was a good excuse to get some brighter hues into my look. I'm currently having a life overhaul with lots changing over the coming months and so the majority of my wardrobe is slowly being vetted and put onto EBay. This outfit is made up of a few pieces old and new ( though mainly old). The blouse is from new look and I've had this for coming up to 18months and the Wedges are a Primark find from I think last summer? Cobalt blue's one of my favourite colours to wear and I liked the clash of the blue against the green. The skirt is from a random EBay shop for about £8, I've lost the link but I know a few of the online stores such as Lavish Alice and Ark Clothing have these in, and possibly in their sale.

 

I may have had a mini splurge this weekend ( well it is my birthday month so I tend to throw all rules out of the window ) I've managed to acquire about 3 outfits for my Birthday 'nights out' but my firm favourite is my Zara 'set'. I actually can not wait to sport this is a few pictures and share it with you all.
