Outfit of the week #34

Hey fellow fashion peeps, how exciting is it that its December the 1st today? It's officially Christmas month and although I still think its a touch early to start festively decorating the flat I am getting all excited and must admit to wearing my Christmas pudding gloves earlier and I did buy a very cute snowman figurine today who has taken pride of place on our dining table. I still have a few presents to buy so I must brave the Christmas crowds again soon and then I can start my favourite part... the wrapping! I love wrapping all the presents, I set up all my bits on the floor put on some Christmas tunes grab a hot chocolate and away I go, fun times.

Everything is from Primark all bar the bag which is eBay and the boots which are George@asda (yes I like to shop in Primark #sorrynotsorry)

The boy and I went toWinter Wonderland on Monday so that got me all christmassy too and we also went to see the Pixies with my Brother and Dad at the Hammersmith Apollo which was fricken amazing!! Unfortunately I didn't get any outfit pics that day but I had some from the week before when we went to the iMax theatre to see Gravity. You'll have to excuse the poor quality of these photos. They were randomly taken on the boys iPhone but I quite like the idea of having some outdoor shots for once, hope you like! 

Thanks

Outfit of the week #18

I've gone all elephunk on you for this outfit of the week post. Check out this very cute elephant and ethnic print dress with some cheeky cut out shoulder action. It's a beaut of an eBay dress but I cannot take the credit for finding it. I saw it on another bloggers wishlist and promptly followed the link all the way to the checkout (if it was you whose wishlist idea I nabbed then sorry). I'm not usually an animal motif kinda gal and if I do go for a little animal in my life then it tends to be of the giraffe variety, loves em I do!! But the colour combo and style of this dress had me cooing so naturally I had to have it in the drobe. Word of warning if you're going to follow suit and purchase this dress be prepare to have the mother of all battles getting it on and off. It has no stretch and no zip/buttons etc so you literally have to squeeze and squash it over the boobies. Every time I wear it I panic that it won't come off and the boyf will have to cut me out, but fear not it can be done ladies.

My plan was to wear this outfit to a friends birthday BBQ yesterday but it wasn't as sunny as I hoped so I switched to something a little warmer. Luckily its a beaut of a day today so I am wearing it right now as I type. I've teamed it with simple tan accessories. I didn't want tan overload so went with my black studded bag, which is another bargain eBay find (serious habit). My little tan loafers are a couple of years old but sooooo comfy and they pretty much go with everything. I've added some funky accessories too, check out the statement ring and wrap around bracelet. Please excuse my messy hair it wasn't looking its best so just shoved it into a quick up do for these photos. Right I'm off to read my book in the sun and nurse an unwanted hangover with lots of coca cola. 

Thanks

Outfit of the week #7

Just a quick outfit of the week post from me today as I'm currently getting ready for a wedding reception!(which I will also do an outfit of the week post for next Sunday)
This is something I threw together for an evening out with friends, we just went for a curry and then drinks round their new flat so its fairy casual but I absolutely love these Primark studded jeans and of course my trusty eBay black blazer, which I pretty much wear with every outfit! The shoes are a last year purchase which I had previously only worn once but I have recently re-kindled my love for and I love wearing them with turned up trousers/jeans. The clutch bag was an absolute bargain from M&Co just £6 down from £55 (its real leather) and the necklace was from Poundland, ha!

In real life the outfit looked quite 90s, think Rachel from Friends but I don't think these photos really portray that. I still love it though, what do you think?

Thanks to everyone who entered my giveaway, I will be picking and contacting the winner sometime tomorrow

Outfit of the week #4

So it was my birthday on Tuesday and although I would rather forget it (I'm 21 again honest) Myself and the boy did manage to get out and celebrate with a fabulous meal at Prezzo. I do believe I should be Italian, love olives, love wine, love pizza, love pasta.......

So my outfit of the week post is what I wore to Prezzo and it has to be one of my fav outfits at the moment! I'm still a big midi dress fan and I think this Primark one looks great with my eBay bargain leather jacket. I seem to be wearing this necklace loads lately and the clutch bag is an oldie but its my 'go to' bag if I'm not sure which of my many bags to use. The shoes were a bargainous five pounds, I usually wear them with jeans but liked the whole look I achieved here with the midi dress and leather. Oh and look I'm wearing my trusty Kate Moss 107 Matte effect!

The meal was gorgeous we started off with the antipasti platter, yum! We both had calzones and salad for main and finished off with a creamy latte, perfection!

I did pretty well for birthday presents this year, Luke was very clever and checked out a previous wishlist post for some gorgeous shoes (I'm sure you'll be seeing these on an outfit post very soon). My Mummy got me some shoes, benefit make up and a cute necklace. And I got a lovely giraffe jumper and giraffe canvas wall picture from Luke's Mummy and Aunty (btw I love giraffes). And of course lots of lovely bath stuff and a couple of lush products too...oh and some champers, yay!

Check out my instagram for pics of my pressie's, meal at Prezzo's and much more.

Outfit of the week #2

Hello all, hope everyone's enjoying their Easter weekend and gorging on as many chocolate eggs as you physically can. I'm posting my outfit of the week today as I won't be around tomorrow to do it! I hope you enjoy, it's a combination of five of my favourite pieces right now. The Bowie inspired outfit is after I spent Friday night on my own (boyf was gigging) watching David Bowie documentaries and eating Easter eggs, heaven! 

The whole of this outfit is pretty much new apart from the shoes which are my faithful 'go with everything' heels. 
In my lunch hour at uni a couple of weeks ago I popped into Primark (I went out to get a folder, bad Kylie) and came out with an entire outfit. I'm going through a bit of a rock chick, band tee shirt phase (again) and have myself a little collection of Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and now Bowie tees, I love dressing them up with heels, blazer and a clutch bag. Now the leather look trousers I've had my eye on for a while and they happened to be in the sale so I was very happy to be paying £6 instead of £13... or so I thought! When I went to pay the cashier looked very confused and re-priced the trousers. She looked at me and said 'did you know the trousers are £2 now?' Whaaaaattttttt! Bargain of the year I think! Of course I had to round off my Primark shopping trip with a piece of jewellery so went for this gold look necklace with five clear stone detail. I love the snake like chain and its subtle hint of of bling. If you follow me on instagram you would have already seen me gushing about my new ebay bag, isn't it gorge? Still loving studs and I like the mix of textures along with the gold zip detailing.

Hope you liked my second 'outfit of the week'? I'm sure you'll be seeing the bag in many a outfit post in the future and the necklace is now a firm favourite too. Enjoy the rest of your easter break and don't forget to comment, I absolutely love reading them. Any specific questions then tweet me @lazy2lovely
