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.

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!!!

thanks

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) .

Outfit of the week #89

jumper  - f&f at tesco (old)  //  shirt - h&m  //  trousers - primark  //  boots - c/o barratts * (old)  //  hat - topman (old) 

it was raining whilst having these pictures taken so yes i have grumpy face. . . blogger probs huh? one thing i've noticed since becoming a Pinterest obsessive is the chunky jumper over the oversized shirt look, a trend much needed in this cold weather. i've teamed my version with some pleather trousers and black ankle boots for a casual yet chic look. . . go and pin my look so i can join the realms of chunky jumper/shirt peeps floating around the interweb.

thanks

Suiting up

jacket - ebay  //  tshirt - primark  //  trousers - primark  //  Shoes - primark  //  clutch - amazon

in love with this kind of androgynous look at the moment. i've always liked the women in a suit look but have always thought heels were the way to go but actually pairing this with my little metallic pumps is now a fav combo. believe it or not this cute little fleece clutch is in fact my mac book carry case but i liked it so much its now become my perfect casual clutch. these trousers are the perfect black trousers, the cropped length is perf and they're a perfect fit... primark kills it again!

Thanks

Outfit of the week #88

scarf - primark  //  coat - f&f at tesco (old)  //  jeans - primark  //  boots - george@asda 

this crazy cold weather has got me covered from head to toe this week, literally my face and hands are the only skin on show in these pictures and if it was possible for a balaclava to look chic it would have been worn. the only reason i'm not wearing a bobble hat is because i actually liked my hair this weekend... i've been hating on my hair for a couple of weeks, it needs a trim and this weather has been making it all frizzy, dry and static so I booked me an appointment for next week and guess what, the hair decides to play ball and has actually looked decent all weekend, typical. i can't express my love for cobalt blue and houndstooth, such a great combo. hope you like.

thanks

Outfit of the week #87

cape - george@asda  //  jumper - primark  //  skirt - primark  //  boots - c/o online avenue *  //  belt - matalan (old)

i really like the cape trend thats happening this winter season, i love that floaty, boho, world traveller look, but couldn't ever commit to a design i liked. i didn't want to opt for the popular tartan/check look, plus i definitely have too much check in my wardrobe at the moment. so i was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this cutie in asda last weekend. its a great neutral colour palette that will go with everything, the pattern is subtle but can easily be transitioned throughout the seasons i think. i wore this into london yesterday for a trip to the science museum and then a meal out and theatre trip as a wedding present from our friends. layering was my friend, as you can see from the random white specks in these photos, it was snowing and very cold. did you buy into the cape trend this season, how did you style yours?

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.

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.

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.
