On Wednesdays we wear pink

Spring is here! Quick grab your florals and get those ankles out. 


Seriously though, how amazing is this bomber, I would wear this everyday if I could. Bombers are everywhere at the moment and I'm obsessed with emroidery so these are a match made in heaven. 

The great thing about a bomber is they're so versatile, jeans, shorts, skirts. -I've done it all. But this is my personal fave, the pleated midi skirt. Midi skirts/culottes are my life. Most people throw on jeans as an everyday option, those are mine. 


Another fave of 2016, the off the shoulder bardot. I have far too many already and that's still not enough. Although they do make me want to contour in some collar bones, because yano, cheese is life.

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.

pinstripe heaven

Hello, Happy Christmas! i hope everyone had a lovely two days filled with presents and lots of food. I personally cant even remember what hunger feels like-eyes bigger than stomach. So as i currently resemble a heavily pregnant woman, here's a post from a few days ago.

Pinstripes are one of my biggest obsessions this Autumn/winter, they compliment almost every item, i partially enjoy them in a matching shirt and trouser or suit combo. They work well in a casual outfit to smarten up the look, these slouchy trousers being the perfect example-as always, well done Zara.

I decided to dress these with a simple grey tee to bring out the stripes, as grey and navy are the perfect match. Keeping it simple with lace up boots, black perspex bag and chunky scarf. The perfect casual shopping outfit. 

Now i must return to eating and online sale shopping, hope everyone enjoys the last of Christmas.

Camel in Carnaby

Spent the day around Carnaby st yesterday, London is always my favorite place to be near Christmas time. Although i do hate how busy it gets. Went to book flights for a trip next year, however neither that or beginning to Christmas shop (for everyone else other than my wardrobe) happened. But anyway in other news, my Asos camel coat finally arrived! But as always, wishing for it too be longer, why is nothing ever ankle length?! I do still love it though! 

I do enjoy a legs out, over sized jumper combo, and this snake skin leather skirt, and chunky jumper are the perfect match. Wearing my long pinstriped h&m shirt underneath for added layers, and to break up the cream and black. I'm avoiding tights this year, so it will be bare legs and lots of layers until i get frost bite or put on a pair of trousers! So lets just all hope that it stops raining and doesn't snow for more than one day this year.

Shine bright like a trainer

It's getting cold, but while I wait for my dream winter coat to come back in stock (hurry up Asos),one of last years will have to do. Keeping it casual today, as per, ,for lots of walking around, but the day ended in Spanish food and for once I didn't have sore feet, result! These trainers are my new (very bright, clean) obsession. I loved them as soon as I saw them, even if they were a slightly different colour to what i thought online (mint grey shades rather than camel) Although about 70% of my wardrobe is grey, so it probably worked out for the best.

This top is actually about 3 sizes too big for me, so it looks baggy and over sized,which is always a good thing in my opinion. Would have looked better paired with a big over sized ankle length coat, but oh well, on the wish list for now.
