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

White hi tops

jacket - new look  //  check shirt - h&m  //  tshirt - primark  //  jeans - primark  //  hi tops - c/o krisp clothing *

i'm all about the trainers this week. . . here i am in another pair, this time white, patent hi tops. they're so bright white you can't really see them in these photos (click on the link above for a better look). you can't really go wrong with an all b&w outfit and the hi tops really set the look off, although this amazing coat does play havoc with your eyesight. i' am forever bored of my hair so have lightened the tips for a very subtle ombre look. i like it but can already see me dying it all really dark brown again in a few weeks time. 

thanks

Outfit of the week #86

denim jacket - zara (old)  //  checked shirt (worn underneath) - george@asda  //  tshirt - primark  // jeans - primark  //  hat - primark  //  shoes - h&m (old)

i' am very into my casual outfits at the moment, i think the chilly weather puts me off donning heels and baring flesh. And all the over indulging over christmas leaves us all feeling a little frumpy dumpy  right? So jeans, flats and quirky tshirts are definitely the way forward until March, fact. i've been wearing this top all weekend, yes its Harry Potter but its cool, in the know, Harry Potter and it was only £6 from good old primark, so its a must for all you hp fans. Hope you like this post

Thanks

A style journey....

So its New Years Eve which meant taking a trip back through old blog posts. Its very awkward looking back over this blog and anything before January this year is a bit of a write off in my eyes. I really think i started to properly blog in January 2014 mainly because i braved the elements and got over my fear of not only the husband taking my photos but taking them in public too. I still get annoyed at people watching me but my outfit posts are better for it.

1  //  2  //  3  

January, February and March saw me mixing up the prints and dropping in a flash of colour here and there. The first picture was my very first outside photoshoot for the blog and i was so pleased to finally get decent full length photos of my outfit. I tried to mix up the location of my pictures in the second picture but in the end opted for the brick wall, seen in the third picture, for the majority of my photos throughout 2014 and its still a favourite background of mine.

1  //  2  //  3

March, April and May saw me breaking out a lot of pastel colours in my outfits and mastering the 'looking at the floor' blogger pose. This section of the year also saw me working with a lot of brands, which I am so grateful for. Obviously i don't blog just to be sent clothes but its certainly an incentive to keep evolving and making my blog better.

1  //  2  //  3

May, June and  July meant the weather was getting warmer and the arms and legs gradually began to appear. I also got hair extensions making me feel like Rapunzel for a few months. The last outfit was a popular one with Look magazine tweeting it as their 'look of the day'

1  //  2  //  3

The sun was shining and the blogging juices were flowing in July, August and September. All three of these outfits are particular favs of the year. The first image saw me lucky enough to work with French Connection and also a new found love for the denim jacket. The second image was regrammed by boohoo on instagram, making my insta account go crazy and i gained about 300 new followers in the space of an hour. The third outfit was featured on Asos Fashion Finder home page, which i had been hoping to achieve at some point this year.

1  //  2  //  3

In September and October i tried to mix up the locations a bit, i particularly like the autumnal feel to the last picture. The autumnal layers started to re-surface with my fav denim and leather jackets making a return. The crossed leg pose also came into its own during the latter part of 2014.

1  //  2  //  3

October and November saw me go from glam to boho to cosy all in at the space of a few weeks. The hair was chopped off and my obsession with tartan and checks really began to blossom. My old favourite the brick wall also made a welcome return to my photos.

1  //  2  //  3

So December brought us a fairly mild couple of weeks but oversized and cozy was still the way to go outfit wise. As you can see checks are well and truly my style choice of 2014 with this trend featuring in almost all of my posts during November and December and quite possibly January 2015 too.

2014 has been a pretty amazing year for me, i got engaged in January, promoted in April, graduated in September and Married in November... how is 2015 ever going to compete with that? In terms of my blog i have loved my year of outdoor location shots and am so pleased that the husband is happy to be my personal photographer. I think my blog has really evolved this year and intend to continue into 2015 with my new improved layout (what do ya think?) and experiment more with photo quality and various locations. Thanks to all my regular readers and their comments, thats why I blog, seeya next year.

Outfit of the week #84

jumper - primark  //  skirt - c/o Sugarhillboutique *  //  shoes - ?  //  bag - primark  //  necklace - notonthehighstreet (old)

This is a little outfit i wore over the festive period. We went to see family on boxing day and i really wanted to wear this gorgeous skirt that etailpr sent me from sugarhillboutique, its such a cute print, a little glitzy and kinda reminds me of christmas trees. I wasn't brave enough for a bare leg so opted to wear with tights, which i usually hate with a midi but am pleasantly surprised. I think the black jumper and black tights work well together and the festive burgundy shoes and bag really make the outfit stand out. Check out my cute antler necklace too (present from the husband last year). So Christmas is over again, hope you've had a great time and now for the lead up to New Year. Have any of you braved the sales yet? We're attempting it today but i tend to ignore the sale rails and go for the nice, neat new arrivals, i can't be bothered with all the sales faffing around.

Thanks

Festive nail art

Its christmas tomorrow!!! Eek.... how did that happen? If you follow me on instagram (@lazy2lovely) you'll have seen my festive nails at the weekend, they are super duper easy so i though i would share with you here on the blog too. Simply paint all your nails a nice Father Christmas red apart from your ring finger. With this nail, paint a line of red across the top and then another line going down the right side to about 3/4 of the way down the nail. Once the red is completely dry ( i advise leaving it about 30 mins to be sure its dry ) add a dot of white to the end of the hat and a white line along the bottom of the red line at the top. Finish off with top coat and you're all ready for a glass of mulled wine to celebrate a job well done.

Outfit of the week #83

Jacket - Zara (similar here) //  Shirt - H&M  //  Trousers - H&M  //  Shoes - Dorothy Perkins  //  Bag - primark //  Scarf - New look (similar here)

This cute oversized check shirt is possibly my favourite piece of clothing at the moment. I love it with these pleather trousers and denim jacket. I've been wearing this fur scarf from new look constantly since I brought it in October and am desperate to find the maroon Primark one i keep seeing on instagram and other blogs. I'm actually off shopping today (last minute presents, eek!) so fingers crossed I manage to grab it. I guess a lot of you have finished work/school for Christmas unfortunately for me I'm working right up until 4pm on Christmas eve but I do have a week off between christmas and new year. Hope you all have a fab week.

Thanks

Outfit of the week #81 - (Not more Tartan!)

 Jumper - Primark   //   Skirt - H&M   //   Boots - George @ Asda   //    Bag - Primark

So Apparently tartan is in fashion.... can you tell I'm obsessed considering my last three outfit posts have featured some kind of tartan garment? This little pleated skirt is the cutest thing ever and a steal at £7 in the H&M sale. I can't stop wearing this jumper and yes you may see it in another outfit post next week. Although I am heading to the shops on Monday (day off, woooo!) So I'll see it I can grab another colour in good old Primark. This outfit feels kinda christmassy to me, potential christmas day outfit????

Thanks

The oversized jumper!

Jumper - Primark  //  Trousers - Red Herring at Debenhams (similar here) //  Boots - c/o Barratts * (old)  //  Bag - Primark 

Sometimes you get an item of clothing that you just can't wait to wear with everything, this is that item of clothing. The oversized jumper and generally oversized clothing, is hot right now and my guess is you're gonna be sick of seeing this jumper in my outfit posts this winter. Also a big fan of tartan again, in my last post I rocked the tartan scarf and now its all about these amazing trousers. Such a gorgeous dark, subtle tartan. Got these boots last winter and wore them to death so it only seems appropriate to wear them again... everyday.
Thanks
