Another Girl In Another Pair Of Timberlands OOTD

Hi guys! 

Since I'm on my Christmas holidays, I actually have plenty of time to blog...so I thought I'd do an 'outfit of the day' since I haven't done one since April?! How bad is that?! 

I've noticed that recently all my weekend outfits have been all black or close enough so this one follows tradition :) 

Everything I'm wearing here (except for the vest top), I bought in the last two weeks and the Timberlands were a Christmas present. I know almost everyone has a pair, which effectively makes me a fashion sheep, but the heart wants what the heart wants and I'm extremely happy to have them. Also I should mention how comfortable they are! I wasn't expecting it at all but they really feel like I'm wearing Air Max's.

I've written down everything I'm wearing below the pics.

1) Black square quilted faux fur collar jacket from River Island - £45

This was love at first sight. Although it's described as a jacket, I would definitely say it's more of a cardigan as it's quite thin. However, if you wear a cardigan or thick jumper inside it's definitely ok for this mild weather.

2) Black vest from Topshop 

 I've had this for about 5 years and the fact that I'm still able to wear it says a lot about the quality I guess. I definitely recommend their basic wear.

3) Black high waisted leggings from River Island - £20

I can't find a link for them on the website but I got them from the Oxford St store if you're interested. I love that these are so comfortable yet still add a little something extra to an outfit. I'd say to get them a size smaller because I got these in my size and they won't stop falling down lol.

4) Timberland Nellie Chukka Double Waterproof Boot Wheat Nubuck from Office -£110

I'm in love with these so far, and what I love even more is that they're waterproof (since I'm always the stupid girl who wears expensive footwear on rainy days lol). It's like these were made for me!

Hope you enjoyed this post. Feel free to leave any comments below! :) 

"Hey Mama" OOTD

Hey guys!

Two posts in one day, I'm on a roll! 

So this is what I wore today for Mother's Day...it's a look I've never really done before but I think I might try it out more often since I got such a good reaction to it :) How can I describe it? I think it's quite preppy, but then of course I had to trash it out with a bold lip and gold hoops lol. 

I'm wearing:

- My sister's Oxford St. Johns College sweatshirt

- White shirt from River Island

- Jeans from River Island

- Cut out wedges from ASOS

I hope you like!!! :)

Dungaree Dilemma.

So I have a massive problem. Ok it's not massive, and on a scale from 1 to natural disaster it's really not a problem. But it's fashion and fashion consumes my life.

I really, really, REALLY want a pair of dungarees. But as soon as I told my mum this, she laughed in my face and told me that they were for those with smaller boobs and that there's no way on earth that they would suit me...bear in mind I'm a 32H. 

In the back of mind I completely agreed with her, but the other side of me, the stupid side, still really wants them...I'm sure I could figure out a way to wear them without looking like an oversized baby with massive breasts. Let me know if you have any ideas? 

Here are a couple of my ideas:

Smart

Dungarees: River Island

Shirt: Asos

Boots: Asos

Casual

Dungarees: River Island

Crop Top: Topshop

Necklace: Topshop

I still don't know if I'll get away with it, but I'm damn sure going to try!

Getting My Malcolm On OOTD

Hey guys!

The outfit I wore today is so simple but I love it. Mostly because it's all black and there's almost something powerful about wearing all black,  harking back to the Black Panthers (and the fact that it's slimming also helps).  But knowing me, I couldn't resist adding a 90's touch to it by adding a gold chain and my brothers oversized Adidas jumper.

I also did my hair this week. I was inspired by Akilah's post on making a u-part wig so I did that with the same hair I had before, only I bleached and dyed my hair red and used a needle and thread instead of glue. I was so scared to dye my hair because I've never been another colour, although you could say I chickened out because I didn't do the whole head lol. It doesn't look as bright as it does in the pictures, I think my camera just picks up colour really well.

And oh yeah...the white specks in some of the pictures are snow!

I'm wearing:

- Adidas jumper (my brother's)

- ASOS polo neck dress

- River Island faux gold chain

- New Look black plimsolls

The Sweetest Taboo OOTD

Since my outfit post today is so eighties themed, I thought I would name it after one of my favourite eighties songs, 'The Sweetest Taboo' by Sade. I did kind of want to name it 'Sexual Healing' after the Marvin Gay song...but that wouldn't be very appropriate would it? lol

So here's what I wore:

Glasses: Rayban's from Eyewearbrands.com - £92

Necklace: Faux gold chain from River Island - £12

Jumper: Eighties style jumper from River Island (bought in the sale 3 years ago)

Trousers: Cropped black treggings from River Island (bought a year ago)

Trainers: Nike Air Max 1s from Nike Town - £92

You know what? I think I like my simplest outfits the best. I just threw this together this morning and it kind of all just came together as a theme. I hadn't worn this jumper since my second year at uni and only just rescued it from the bottom of my wardrobe last month, but I'm so glad I did. It's so relevant to the 80s/90s revival which has been happening over the past year. Next time I think I'll take it up another notch by making my make up more dramatic (bright pink lips) and adding more chunky gold jewellery.
