More yellow...


 More yellow, I know, I cant get enough! I'm making the most of the final rays of summer (which happened to go behind a cloud as I went to take these photos-typical). This top is such a cute basic piece, which can easily be dressed up or down, 


 I bought these culottes right before I went travelling, and I still love them 5 months later. I have had a few strange looks with the complements,but I cant help but love a marmite outfit. They have been worn in 30.C in Asia right through to the minus numbers in New Zealand. Such a great versatile piece which will no doubt see me right though winter under layers upon layers.


 I love the contrast of the yellow against the navy in these pieces. When I wear bright colours I prefer to keep shapes and patterns simple. The frayed edges of both top and bottoms match, adding the perfect amount of detail for me.

 Note to self, take hands out pockets for at least one photo!

Its that time of that year again, LFW! Here is my outfit choice of the day taken on my way to my first show, I was actually super excited, not that you can tell by my bitch face in these pictures, oops. I love seeing runway shows, the atmosphere is always amazing and its so exciting seeing brand new ideas and designs going down the catwalk right in front of you in such a fast paced show. 

Anyway I've been dying to wear this hat for ages, I absolutely love the colour! I've always found it quite hard to wear yellow, but its slowly becoming my new fave. I find a splash of yellow is perfect with a dark navy/grey outfit, or as i've worn in this post, camels and whites, to bring a little pop of colour. 

I wore with my tan culottes and this cute little tie around dress from ASOS which i've folded up as a top for a simple, slightly sophisticated look. I love the belted detail against the structured shift dress, which worked perfectly to disguise the hem when i folded it up- a simple and easy way to mix up things in your wardrobe. 

Now, time for cocktails.

Mustard lover

Hello, I'm back. Have had such a busy week, mostly working sadly, but I finally have some time to do a quick post. Spent last Saturday at Uni open days, and randomly ended up at Hampton court by the evening. so thought i'd do a quick ootd as its such a pretty place. 

This combo of big jumpers and baggy bottoms (sounds weird) is my go to at the moment, perfect for this sunny/windy weather. It was especially bright last weekend, which is why i look so pale, as my little camera couldn't handle the light (also because i'm in desperate need of a holiday)

But anyway, this jumper is one of my Autumn favorites. The mustard/olive shade is what drew me to it, as i have nothing else of this colour (apart from my very matchy nail varnish-also from h&m) and I love the slouchy style. Kept the rest of the look quite minimal, not to draw away from the jumper, with classic black culottes, Cambridge satchel, and my Rotary watch which hasn't had an outing in so long. Finally just thought id say, don't normally go in newlook, but went in the other day and got these heeled sandals for £5?! might have to pop into their shoe department more often. 

Ps. don't know why my bags open in these pictures, but its really annoying me. 

have a good week

I've always been the biggest fan of any kind of midi I can get my hands on, and these culottes are the newest addition to my growing collection. I'm only 5"3, so I was a bit cautious that I would look like a 7 year old trying on my dads trousers, but I think I can just about get away with this length thanks to ASOS and they're petite sizes (hopefully you agree anyway..).
I'm very much obsessed with charity shops and finding bargains that I know no one else has (especially when i then see a high street version for 10x the price!). This beaut little t-shirt I picked up in my local town for £3! I love the minty grey tones and silver pattern against the culottes, perfect for the dull autumn weather.

I thought id keep accessories simple, just adding a bit of black and silver detailing where it was needed, and of course my fav little strappy black boots that i picked up in a Topshop sale little while ago, extra height is always welcome.
