Cropping It

 Jumper, Jeans and Boots - Topshop, Bag - Zara, Shirt - New Look

The weather has already had its ups and down's this week so far.One minute it's sunny and warm, next it's raining and windy, I can't keep up!
This OOTD was a few days ago (Bank Holiday Monday) when the weather was absolutely great, everyone was out trying to enjoy the weather. I did a bit of window shopping and thankfully didn't come home with anything, ok I lied, well just a t shirt haha. Then it was revision from then!

I'm in love with Topshop's knitted crop jumpers, they come in lovely colours and are just the perfect fit. At £30 I would say that is very pricey for a crop jumper and I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives but I couldn't be bothered to look around! I also have it white. They're great to style  with high waist jeans and even skirts! I'm also loving Topshop's Joni jeans, they fit so perfectly and I personally prefer them to American Apparel's 'Easy Jean' (I've tried them on before).

I can't wait to be done with revision and exams, really taking up my precious time! When I'm done with exams, I can finally dedicate a lot of my time to blogging, I can't wait! But until then, let me go and revise ...

Nike Air Max

Wow, its May already, this year is going very quick! Don't you think?
My interest in trainers/sneakers is growing again. In my younger days I was a definitely a Tomboy, so trainers were all I would wear! Then I grew out of them slightly and sold most of the ones that I had owned.
Now I want to start fresh and build up my trainer collection again, there's always a new pair I'm lusting over every week!
The Nike brand is the brand I prefer when it comes to trainers. Nike Air Max is the range that I like the most from Nike to be precise. Air Max 1 and Air Max 90's, are very comfortable and are available in so many colourways to suit you. You can even design your own with Nike ID!
I've recently purchased three Nike Air Max trainers; Hyper Blue Nike Air Max 90 Essential (Suede Pack), White Nike Air Max 90 Essential and Black/Anthracite Nike Air Max 1 Premium...
My favourite pair right now are the Hyper Blue Air Max 90's, the colour is perfect for spring/summer!

New In | Zara Bags

Zara undeniably sell the best bags in my opinion. I think that is why I have purchased three new ones in the past 2 weeks!  
As you guys may have seen already, I've featured my white city bag in an OOTD post, and also featured it with the green messenger bag in my Zara Lust List post. 
I've been trying to build up my own collection of 'statement' bags, as I think they are just the best at adding a bit of spice to an outfit! I ordered the green messenger bag first and have been wearing a lot since I received it, very spacy for a bag of its size as it has lots of compartments.  I stumbled upon the bright yellow messenger bag (exact version of the green one) in a Zara store 2 days, and I knew I just had to have own it there and then. For £25.99, I think its a steal!

Availability wise, all three bags should be available in store. Both the green and yellow bags are still available online here, but the white city bag has sold out!

Style It | The Leather Jacket.


A simple black leather jacket to me, is an essential item for anyone's Spring/Summer wardrobe! They are very versatile and allow you to add a bit of an edge to any outfit, and are perfect to wear when the weather is not too hot or cold!
You can’t go wrong with a classic black leather jacket as you can practically wear it with anything in your wardrobe. They act as a lighter option to parkas and heavy coats, when moving from Autumn/Winter to Spring/Summer. The perfect transitional piece!
From a casual day out with your friends to a night out clubbing, this an ultimate timeless essential.
Despite the heavy price tags most leather jackets usually have, there's always the 'faux leather jacket' alternative that are available everywhere!

Here, I have put together three different ways to style this classic Warehouse faux leather jacket, available through www.uniprice.com. The collared biker jacket features silver-tone hardware with an asymmetric zip fastening at the front, epaulettes at the shoulder with zipped side pockets and cuffs.
Dressing it down with a pair of jeans, spicing it up with bright pleated skirt and showing some skin in a pair of high-waisted shorts are just a few of the ways you can style a leather jacket!

Look One - T-Shirt, Jeans, Shoes, Glasses
A casual loose fitted look, great for when you're busy and on the go and want to feel stylish and comfortable.

Look Two - Crop Top, Skirt, Boots
Definitely an eye-catching, playful look with the pleated fluorescent skirt.

Look Three - Crop Top, Denim Shorts, Boots
This look would work great for a festival, and if you're not a festival type person. this is still works as a casual everyday summer look!

Number 86

Blazer & TShirt - Topshop, Jeans - Monki, Loafers - ASOS, Bag - Zara

I was delighted to see that Topshop now have the oh so famous number 86 over-sized tee in black, so I just had to have it! You may notice the bag that I'm carrying is from the 'Zara lust list' post I did recently. By the time I was ready to buy the bag online, it had sold out, wasn;t too mch of a hassles to find it in store anyway!
The weather is definitely improving, and so after months of constantly wearing socks and boots, I can finally wear my beloved loafers!

Beach Ready

I can't wait for summer to arrive as I will be going to Ibiza then, not long to go! I wanted to travel out last summer but I didn't make it happen unfortunately, but I'm glad that I'm going away this year!

Asos have definitely been my go to for swimwear right about now as they have everything! I'm a big fan of high-waisted bikini bottoms, so I made sure I searched for them and what do you know, Asos have many! Nice prints, quality and great prices! Not to forget the basic style bikini sets, which they have plenty of. With all that I have accumulated, you'd think that I'm staying there for 2 weeks and not 1!.

Here are my favourites ...
Love the floral design on these high-waisted bottoms, I didn't like the style of the matching tops Asos had to offer so I went for this simple bow tie bandeau bikini top
I purchased the monochrome striped bottoms this time last year from Monki, so these are not available online or in-store anymore! I thought it would go well with plain black, like this triangle cut out bikini top from Asos.
I am loving the vibrant colors and floral pattern of this bikini, also from Asos. It just screams summer! You can find the bikini top here and the bottoms here.

At this time I know people are working hard for their summer bods, I'm still here just chilling really!
I should really hit the gym just to tone up a bit, but I'm so lazy when it comes to exercise! I think I will stick to healthy eating for now ...

Close to Comfort

Coat - Zara, Jumper & TShirt - ASOS, Jeans & Boots - Topshop, Scarf & Bag - H&M

This was outfit of the day was a while back when the weather was acting very bipolar - sun, snow and rain in one day! I had to run a few errands, as I do all the time, and just felt like wearing anything. Not the best of my days, but I'd like to share! 
It's been a while since I've worn my long green coat from Zara, which was one the best bargain buys ever, £90 reduced to £10! I'm not too sure who would have brought it when it wasn't on sale to be honest. 
I was caught off guard in the second picture but it looks as if I'm thinking ... "What the hell? Snow? Like really?" ha!
