Silver tones

It's so nice to have a complete outfit without having to wear a jacket for once. Although every day this last week I've worn peep toe shoes/heels sandals and it ends up raining. -Forever looking like a crazy lady sliding around in my shoes. 

These shoes are definitely worth it though, my current faves.

 This sunshine is making me so excited for summer, can't wait to be reunited with my favourite gals in the sun with some cocktails. Will be wacking out the off the shoulder tops, reflective shades and flared sleeves. -So many great trends out at the moment!

Sweden outfit No.1!

I recently came back from Sweden for 5 nights and It was so beautiful! It's so exciting to being in a new city and see my fave girls all together, finally! Will be uploading a Photo Diary very soon!

I of course took the opportunity of this pretty little spot on the way to the Christmas Markets. This outfit was definitely one of my comfiest, and my favorite kind of style when wandering round all day.  I do love everything over sized, It is Christmas after all. (well it was then..)

You can't go wrong with a few (or ten) layers over winter! I've finally been able to do a post on this House of Sunny top which I adore.-Whats not to love, Ribbed✔ Grey✔ Over sized ✔ V Neck ✔. 

Of course I paired with some staple culottes (still one of my most worn items) even when its freezing cold! -Stick a pair of leggings underneath. Tada

How cute is this bag! Perfect travel size, and small enough to fit in my tiny suitcase, Yay! If that's not enough it's also fury and has a chain. Well done ASOS well done.

That's all. Chao for now.

Injecting a bit of colour for "summer"

This rain is not helping my holiday blues, however i'm so happy to be back in clothes I like wearing!
Words can not describe how excited I was to shop for the first time in months- I may have gone a tad over board.. I have more shopping bags than carpet right now.

I enjoying how seventies everything is at the moment, and I'm loving bright warm tones! In the hope of bringing back the summer I thought i'd inject a bit of yellow into my life.

I find this weather the hardest to dress for when its constantly grey and rainy but still warm, I always find bare legs and a thin jumper are an easy go to. If you're not keen on a whole bright outfit, keep it neutral and pair a simple bright staple, such as a skirt/top/jacket or even just an accessory.

This skirt is one of my favorite things in my wardrobe atm, its so versatile for day or evening, and the little slit at the front is such a cute little detail.

Been awhile since my last blog post, since then i've quit my job, and i'm off travelling at the end of this week! I really wanted to fit in another post before I left as I have quite a few outfits to show, but these last few weeks have flown by! So I wont be posting for a few months, but will make sure I do a few massive travel posts on everywhere i visit to make up for it! For now, follow my Instagram -Yas grottick for updates!

These pics were from a few weeks ago, I was on my way back from getting my Vietnamese Visa. I accidentally managed to forget to bring cash, resulting in me running to the station and back in these heels not long before these photos were taken- So excuse my sweaty face, ew.

I've become such a trouser lover recently, especially if they're striped! I'm actually sad that its going to be too hot to wear them soon- never thought id say that! I think a mixture of a smart look with a hint of lace or skin really adds too an outfit. In this case I wore a lace bralette with a low buttoned shirt to take away from that office look. Subtlety is the key though.

Anyway that's it for now, I will be back! Hope everyone enjoys their summer.

So I was recently in Nottingham visiting my friend at uni, and it is such a nice place! The town centre is so big, and all the buildings are so pretty, naturally we spent most of the time eating and drinking though while we all caught up. 

 Annies burger shack was the first place we visited, and a few cocktails and blog pictures later we finally got a table- and it was worth it. I had a giant taco veggie burger including rice, tortilla chips, salsa ect with sweet potato fries on the side, it was amazing. As a veggie burger fanatic, I would definitely recommend. One of my friends had a peanut butter and jam beef burger, She wasn't quite as happy with her choice by the last bite when her mouth was glued together with peanut butter, but it had to be tried. I'm surprised they haven't opened a second restaurant in London or in any other big cities, but for now if anyone is ever in Nottingham you must visit, and let me know what you get! 

Anyway we spent the rest of our day in a food coma, until we had enough energy to go out and buy some wine for the evening. The outfit i'm wearing turned out to be perfect for hiding a food baby and for the sunny/extremely windy weather of Notts. I had been meaning to style this dress for ages. I picked it up in a charity shop for £2 pounds a while back (i think it may be nightwear) as i thought it would be a handy layer to have in my wardrobe. I dressed it with one of my fave Zara jumpers, however I think it would also work well under an over sized sweatshirt.

I find charity shops are the perfect place to get simple pieces of clothing, that you just want as a layer or extra detail to complete an outfit. They're mostly very cheap, and you may end up with so much great stuff that you didn't even know existed/ or that you were after anyway. The prices are nothing compared to high street, and your giving to charity so its a win win!

I didn't have a chance to do any blog pictures the second day, which was probably for the best as I would have looked very hungover, But we just had brunch at gorgeous cafe called Delilahs (photo of the inside on my Instagram), which was lovely, and of course did a bit of shopping.

Hello i am back! Been crazily busy the last few weeks finishing off applications, working, and my birthday! Went to a cute sushi bar the other day, so took the opportunity to take a few pictures.

Biggest news since i've been gone.. i've finally got a new pair of trainers (yes that's bigger than passing my driving test, and turning 20) and they are my new obsession. You cant go wrong with a good pair of trainers, over sized shirt and a chunky knit, definitely the best investments for winter this year.

Yes, i have bought another pair of culottes (and I may or may not have another new pair waiting to be blogged...). I just cant help myself around them, baggy over sized and comfy- what more can you ask for? They do go with everything as the perfect statement piece; my favorite ensemble of course the chunky knit or over sized shirt, but you cant go wrong with a fitted top or a pair of chunky heels if your not comfortable with the full on androgynous look.

So, in conclusion, If you don't yet own a pair yet, what are you playing at? these babies will keep you going right through too summer.
