First of all apologies for the darkness of the photos, edited right after a long nap- think my eyes were still half asleep (and yes i am a 70 year old woman in a 19 year old's body, afternoon naps are always needed.) 

Anyway, took these while i was on my way out to lunch, went to this amazing vegetarian cafe in my town- they do the best omelettes, i'm obsessed with eggs (hence my blog title).

You cant beat a bit of neutral can you? I love a capsule wardrobe of similar shades, everything matches, what can go wrong? This camel fury skirt just arrived and it was love at first sight, the perfect fit and colour. When I wear a full outfit of a similar colour pallet i like to mix up textures together instead- Knit, faux fur and leather work so well together. 

Of course wearing my nike pegasus, because they go with EVERYTHING and they never leave my feet. I feel i need to add to my trainer collection or my blogs going to become a Nike promotion page.

Finally, a chunky tartan scarf to add a bit off detail-and i feel weird with a bare neck due to the lack of turtle neck in this jumper..

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.

hello hello, yes i am still alive.
Feels like forever ago since my last post, been crazily busy recently. Work, portfolio and organising my travel plans is taking over my life. Anyway just thought id share a few photos from a little walk the other day.
Please appreciate my two fave things in life rolled into one-leather culottes! I've been waiting to wear these ever since i brought them home and realized they are to big, and as i cant get hold of a smaller size i refuse to wait any longer. They may be the biggest man repellor, confirmed by the look of my boyfriends face when i walked through the door, but that's right up my street if you go by the rest of my wardrobe. 

I'm the biggest coat addict this year, but as my bank balance isn't having any of it and i cant get into my savings account (where all my money goes), charity shops are the only way forward. Not that i have any issues with this, as you can tell from from my other posts, i enjoy an original piece not current in the shops. My Sheep style coat finishing off this outfit perfectly for a walk in the cold- and yes that is me taking a selfie with a horse.

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.

Clothes hoarder

 I have an obsession with going through my mums old clothes (and my dad's occasionally) from when they were younger. Every now and again I find a cute statement piece, which has made its way back into fashion, and therefore into my wardrobe. I love a one off piece that no one else has, which has turned me into such a hoarder and why you'll never find me selling my wardrobe on Depop, ill thank present me one day. Anyway this coat once belonged to my mum, and black coats are always needed. I'd found this in summer, and have been excited to bring it out since then, although i did remember it being slightly longer which was a bit disappointing. Massive ankle length coats are my favorites.

Then of course stripes have to be somewhere in my outfit, this skirt is so cute and cosy, and works so perfectly with a layered slouchy outfit. I bought this Primark jumper as a versatile layer for my winter wardrobe, it is meant to be a low v neck and mid thigh length, not that you can tell from the imagines. I never used to shop in Primark much but this year its upped its game, i'm finding so many classic essential pieces, especially shoes and jumpers. Always worth a look!
