Loving The Gingham!

Gingham is one trend or style i think never goes out of fashion. I love how you can pair it with some chunky boots and jeans to make it modern or go the opposite way and add a big skirt or cardigan to make it really retro/vintage/rockabilly.

I personally love monochrome which is why i love these images (from we heart it). I used to own a black and white gingham fitted shirt and i loved to pair it with black skinny jeans. It was a simple outfit but had lots of character. 

At the moment i don't own anything gingham but i would love to purchase a dress for the summer and i know The White Pepper have this beauty. As i always say when i have 'spare' money i will purchase one!

Aztec Shift Dress

I am really into printed dresses at the moment and i found this one on Missguided.co.uk. I like the simple shift shape which can be dressed up or down. I am a pear shape so i love shift dresses as they are very flattering and comfortable. Its an all year dress as i call it, can be worn all seasons with different shoes/accessories. It is £22.99 but i think its a good investment piece as it flatters all body shapes!.

Stripe Tunic

I have kind of fell in love with this tunic from Topshop. I first saw it on the lovely Lily of LLYMLRS and i have wanted it ever since. It is different from my normal dark style. I think it could be a day dress as well as a night time dress. I would pair it with a pair of sandals for the summer and then a pair of tights and wedges for a night time look. It is £29.00 which i think is reasonable saying as it can be worn with almost everything. Stripes never go out of fashion and are a great staple for any wardrobe!.

Favourite Clutch Bags

Apologies for the bad lighting in the last image its hard to catch the hologram effect when it is too bright!

One thing i love this a good sized clutch bag and ideally i have 3!

I purchased this black fake leather stud clutch from Matalan for around £8.00 and i bloody love it!. It is a soft bodied one so it means I can pop lots of bits and bobs in that i need for a night out. I mostly wear black when i go out for drinks so it matches perfectly.

Now this gorgeous hologram clutch bag was bought for a party that i didn't end up attending so it hasn't actually been used yet. I did buy it from ASOS for £12.99 but its actually by New Look. I wanted a contrast bag that would look against my black evening gown. I loved the fact it had a little handle as i like to have my hands free for drinks etc!. It isn't as big on the inside as it looks on the outside but i still think it will fit a few bits of makeup, perfume, money etc.

This is my most recent clutch purchase and its from one of my favourite shops: Primark!!

It was £8.00 which is really reasonable saying as it has 2 pockets not just one. I am so excited to use this as i love being able to put my essentials in one side and my just throw in bits in the other!. I love the matt texture and the bold leopard print. It will go perfect with my black dresses and matching leopard print sandals!.

I will picture them in a night out lookbook once i get my act together and find a good place to photograph!

H&M Dark Purple Matte Lipstick

I won't be posting many beauty related posts as i am in no way an expert on buying, applying (see application on lips...) or reviewing but i did purchase this on a whim while i was browsing H&M last week. 

I have tried H&M makeup before particularly their lipsticks. I picked this up thinking it was the colour i had already bought but in a Matt finish. It was only when i tried it on properly i realised it is a lighter shade of purple rather than more burgandy (you can see why i don't review make up!!). 

Saying that i actually LOVE this colour, its the perfect addition to my my dark lipsticks and the texture/finish is high quality considering it only cost £3.99.

I feel with a bit of my usual winged eyeliner it would be an easy way to transform my day to night face.

I will definitely be looking into getting more shades!

Wine Eyelash Jumper

I have a black eyelash jumper and it is the warmest, most cuddly jumper i own. So when i spied this wine coloured one on Internationale i fell in love. I love the pocket detail and the round neck. It is £19.99 which i think is a good price as they are so warm and versatile!. 

Weekly Life Report

001. I was hoping to hear good news this week but sadly it wasn't meant to be. So i'm not letting it get me down and i'm concentrating on the positives!.

002. I've started to have another wardrobe clear out so i can list some items on eBay. My shopping habit isn't cheap (haha). I have made a new rule for myself. If i don't wear it for a couple of months i get rid! (lets hope i stick to it!).

003. I purchased yet another item for my room, a cute little plant pot that i'm going to use as a brush holder. It was only 99p and it matches in perfectly!.

004. I also won a gorgeous 50s style navy and white striped dress on eBay for under £10!! I will do a separate post on it because i'm that excited about it!!
