outfit of the week #96 - pinstripes and moccasins

jumper - primark  //  trousers - primark  //  bag - primark  // shoe - c/o shoezone *  //  chain necklace - h&m (old)

i am writing this post as i am trapped in the new flat. yep actually trapped. the husband went off to work early this morning and double locked the door from the outside and now I can't open the door (you can't lock/unlock from the inside, its an old school chain thingy). i have to admit i'm alittle distressed about the whole issue. . . but only because i had planned a shopping trip and now i can't go.

anyway as I have the time I thought I would write up this post. i wore this outfit to a friends gig last sunday. how cute are these platformed moccasins from shoezone. i love them, i love the colour, i love the shininess, i love that they are slip ons and i love the little bit of extra height they give me, to darn cute. i think they go perfectly with my little pinstripe jumper and smart black cropped trews. this outfit is a bargainers delight, shoezone shoes and the rest is primark, perf! p.s loving my hair in these pics, why can't it always look like this? right now i'm off to . . . well wait for luke to get home so i can leave the house. . . 

thanks

the wide leg trouser

when skinnies came into fashion I was like 'noooo way' and now thats all I ever wear... wide legs, boot cuts and flares seem to be making an appearance again and i'm yet to fully commit but i fell in love with these wide leg sporty trousers when i saw a couple of bloggers wearing them on instagram. I luckily found them in the sale for £9.99 so thought i'd give them ago. I love the shape they create due to the length and how they hang. They are really long so only heels will do or i'd be face down, tripping over all night. I wore this out recently to a gig and the husband commented that it was quite a different look for me but he did approve.

jacket - asos  //  vest - new look  //  trousers - zara  //  bag - eBay  //  necklace - c/o mink & stone *

check out my amazing custom made 'lazytolovely' necklace designed by yours truly. the lovelies behind mink & stone allowed me to design my very own necklace and then only went ahead and made it for me didn't they? i designed this long rope necklace (i doubled it up for this outfit) by making an account via mink & stone and then proceeded to design a couple of necklaces using the variety of beads and designs they have available. its very exciting designing you own piece and the fact that i could make a custom designed necklace relating to this blog was even more special. i absolutely love it, thank you mink & stone. go and make your own necklace or bracelet too.

Thanks

outfit of the week #95

so apparently i can't live without internet for any length of time. for the last couple of weeks we've been moving house and currently have no wifi (it's coming Tuesday we hope) and i've been absolutely desperate to log on and get an internet fix so i'm currently propped up in a local cafe stealing their internet for an hour to two. It's amazing how not being active on the blog/instagram/twitter leaves you feeling a little lost and it has a massive impact on the unfollows, which makes me sad.

any way while feeling very hipster sat by the window with my flat white, blogging, i bring you another outfit post. its been a while and its not the most exciting of outfits but it's a necessary casual look and a staple of mine during the transition between winter to spring. hope you like it and all being well i'll be back with another outfit on Wednesday (Come on BT deliver me the wifi).

coat - new look  //  jeans - primark  //  jumper - c/o blue vanilla *  //  bag - primark  //  trainers - c/o krisp clothing *

i really do love these little hi tops, although not loving the mud stains on the toes already, the perils of bright white trainers eh! so with the new move has meant a new blog photo background, luckily we have an amazing church right opposite us now so plenty of opportunity for some fab backgrounds,  stay tuned for more.

thanks

outfit of the week #94

denim jacket - zara  //  tshirt - primark  //  necklace - h&m  //  jeans - primark  //  ankle boots - c/o hiddenfasion *  //  bag - zara  

as much as we all like to dress up in heels and dresses you really can't beat a good old jeans and ankle boots combo. . . heck you can always jazz it up with a statement necklace and a neon bag! what makes this outfit all the more amazing is these boots are a mere £5, hidden fashion is a fabulous place full of £5 wonders that are honestly good quality, these little babies are not only gorgeous but fleece lined i tells ya, cosy! i seriously don't know what i did when i didn't own this denim jacket. i love all of its oversized goodness and if i ever have an outfit where i'm just not sure what coat looks best, this denim jacket always pulls through for me. p.s it windy when we took these photos.

thanks

all black errrrthang

jacket - c/o another8 *  //  tshirt - primark  //  jeans - primark  //  bag - primark  //  necklaces - topshop and h&m  //  boots - c/o barratts * (old)

i think when you have an all black outfit its the rules to post some monochrome photos rights? how amazing is this coat from ultra cool brand another8? i have to say i felt a cross between goth and the matrix as I walked around in it but in my mind thats a great look for me. you can't really go wrong with a long black coat, its a classic item that will forever be in my wardrobe and when its gloriously lined with a white pinstripe fabric i feel a little excited for myself. i guess the rest of the outfit is pretty meh in comparison but I don't care, look at my coat!!!!

blue vanilla

denim jacket - zara  //  dress - c/o blue vanilla *  //  shoes - new look 

i've got so many amazing pieces to show you this week so i'm posting on tues and thurs as well as my usual weds and sun. . .  hope you enjoy the outfits as much as i do and perhaps i'll start posting a bit more if i have time. Although having said that we're currently going through a move of house so i doubt i will have time. . . any way i've had a few garments from blue vanilla and every time i've absolutely loved them. this dress is no exception. i try and steer away from body con normally due to belly wobbles but i think the addition of the cute little crop top makes it totally acceptable on this occasion. i have to say the husband is a particular fan of this dress. i love to casual an outfit up with my oversized denim jacket and these chunky heeled shoes are just perfection for me.

outfit of the week #93

sleeveless blazer - eBay  //  white top - boohoo  //  jeans - fashion union (old)  //  shoes - primark  //  bag - zara (old)  //  necklace - c/o selection six *  //  belt - primark 

i've finally got myself a sleeveless blazer, I've been wanting one since they first got popular but never invested, but they seem to be sticking around so i scoured eBay and grabbed myself this baby. i've styled it slightly different in this post adding a belt to clinch it at the waist but I can't wait to wear it with my pleather skirt and a casual tshirt. another outing for the classic £9 black courts from primark and i dug out my mom jeans. i haven't worn these for ages and i bloody love them. check out this 'piece' of a necklace, isn't it gorge? the colours are so vibrant and its such a chunky, sturdy piece I love it. selection six are offering you all 30% off when you use the code 'Lazy2Lovely' so do go and treat yourself to something from their selection. . . go on you deserve it.

outfit of the week #92

coat - krisp clothing  //  shirt - new look (old)  //  trousers - primark  //  shoes - primark  // bag - ebay  // necklace - h&m (old)  //  skull ring - kat&bee jewellery c/o jewelstreet * 

i make no apologies you're going to be seeing a lot of this darn beautiful coat, it just looks amazing with everything, fact! I've had this stripy shirt for a good three years and was almost going to chuck it out a couple of months ago. . . i'm so glad I didn't as i've fallen in love with it all over again, i especially love layering long necklaces over the top of it. i wore this ensemble out last night to celebrate a friends engagement . . . and got the chance to wear this cute and quirky skull ring sent to me from jewelstreet by kat&bee jewellery. not only is it a gorgeous ring but it was sent to be so quickly and presented in a cute presentation box and drawstring bag . . .  a great gift for someone who likes alternative accessories perhaps? 

thanks

camel, breton and leopard

jacket - krisp clothing  //  top - hidden fashion (old)  // jeans - primark  //  bag - ted baker  //  shoes - c/o krisp clothing * 

breton and leopard print is a hard combo to beat in my eyes, i'm never one to mix prints (i think it might be ocd) but breton and leopard print just seems to work so well that even i can't resist. all topped off with a posh (yet cheap) camel jacket, i feel so grown up! this is my jacket of dreams i absolutely love it and every outfit i wear it with makes me feel so elegant, chic and dare i say it almost parisian. these wee pumps are just the cutest and i can't wait for the warmer weather so i can wear them all the time. whaddya think?

thanks
