outfit of the week #109

Leather pants

as aforementioned in my previous outfit post, i recently had a birthday, which saw myself and the husband heading into london on saturday to see 'The Book of Mormon' we had a fantastic time and the show is hilarious! while there we had a wander round covent garden, ate amazing food and drank some yummy cocktails. . . perhaps being a year older isn't so bad after all. we had had such amazing weather the days leading up to our outing that we were sorely disappointed when we woke up to rain. my bag then broke on the way to the train station (after taking these pictures) and we had to get 2 trains and a bus because of maintenance work on the tracks. we though our trip was douse in bad luck but actually the sun came out, i brought a new bag once we were in london and the journey seemed quicker then first expected.

so yeah the bag you see in these pictures is no more and is chilling in a bin in london but it did mean i could go shopping for a new bag (yay) and i got a lovely big white shopper bag from primark, i love it, so really this bag was meant to break on me!

outfit of the week #98 black and navy

another week is done and i'm a year older due to an unwelcome birthday on thursday. i never thought i'd be fussed about getting older but when it happens it kinda sucks. i won't be in my twenties for much longer and that makes me a little sad. on a more positive note i have fallen in love with the colour navy. these hybrid fashion trousers are gorgeous and so flattering. i know the 'rule' is don't wear black and navy together but i'm a big fan. i felt very chic and almost parisian in this little get up last sunday. the hair, might i add, is a little less parisian but hey it was a 'can't be bothered to wash it until later' kinda day.

also loving these little pointed monochrome flats. i'm excited for the weather to cheer up so I can start wearing more open shoes and sandals, i hate having cold feet so my tootsies have been firmly under wraps all a/w, come on spring warm my feet.

thanks

where's the rum?

feeling a little jack sparrow in this get up, hence the title. yep it's more seventies inspired fashion from me (i just can't get enough). the husband and i went to a food festival on good friday and we got so many comments, from being called 'obvious musicians' to 'you're rocking the hippy headband therefore must like chilli sauce' (eh?). so i would say if you want to stand out and feel insanely cool then get yourself to h&m and grab one of these headbands. although I have to say I think the jacket helped too, bladdy love this jacket from another8.

headband - h&m  //  shirt - new look  //  jeans - primark  //  bag - primark (old)  //  jacket - c/o another8 *  // boots - c/o hidden fashion *

its my birthday tomorrow so we have a couple of days off work, its nice to have a four day weekend again. we're heading into london on saturday to see the Book of Mormon show, and then perhaps a cocktail or two in covent garden. hope the weather stays nice for us, wandering around london in the rain is never fun!!!

outfit of the week #97

i may be enjoying the seventies trend a little too much lately. i think every outfit i've worn in the last couple of weeks has had some kind of seventies influence. this one being no exception. . . we have the suede tasselled jacket and the little mustard skirt, which by the way is a primark find from about 3 years ago, pretty glad i didn't throw it away. this light weight blue shirt is a staple in my wardrobe at the moment. it's just so easy to team with jeans or a skirt like this. it gives the denim shirt look I want but it isn't heavy and stiff like some denim shirts.

i'm loving this new church door background for my outfit posts, although i'm really having to ignore my people watching me insecurities as the public are constantly driving/walking past while we're taking pictures. . . and i hope the vicar doesn't mind me using his backdoor as a backdrop!! i went to a hat party last night, which gave me a chance to wear the fedora from my previous post again, expect some hat related instagram pics if you follow me on there (@lazy2lovely) .

embracing the 70s

i've always loved seventies fashion, its definitely an era i should have been born in. little ditsy florals are my favourite and i've finally bagged myself a fedora, thank you primark. although so far its been way too windy to actually wear it out the house. i wore this outfit literally all of last weekend. smock dresses are so comfortable and i can see me wearing this sleeveless blazer with everything!

dress - can't remember soz  //  sleeveless blazer - eBay  //  faux fur stole - new look  // bag - matalan (old)  //  hat - primark  //  boots - c/o onlineavenue * 

it was pretty darn windy when we took these pictures but they didn't turn out too bad in the end. the necklace i'm wearing in this outfit was found down the back of my chest of drawers in our recent house move. don't you just love it when you find something you completly forgot you had. hope you like.

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. . .

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?

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
