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.

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.

Culottes, Stripes and all things nice

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.

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.

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 
xx
