I apologise fully for my lack of blogging over the past week. I'm in the process of organising a new flat mate as well as many deadlines and sign offs at work. So all in all I've been super busy and if I'm honest this is this first time I've touched my desktop in days. Anyhooo this is what I'm wearing today, I figured if I start the week well on the blog front I might just do okay.

My beloved longline tunic from COS makes an appearance frequently in both summer and winter. Today I've teamed it with my printed skinny's. I bought these a while back from H&M, but they are still a favourite of mine. Then we have the shoes, oh the shoes!! PPQ at office are the brains behind these beauties. I admit they are rather high, but for a day in the office they are perfect...(I get to sit). My buttery soft leather backpack is from Debenhams and will be in store soon, so keep an eye out!

Ksubi

Over the past year I've began admiring a different kind of Fashion. I remember the days when all I wanted to wear was Vintage one of kind dresses and bargains from a good rummage at my local charity shop. However these days I find my self attracted to the more simple things in life, with brands like COS, Whistles, & Monki, becoming firm favourites. I thought I knew what I wanted to wear and how I wanted to wear it, but that was until I cam across Australian brand Ksubi.

A mix of chic tailored pants and body con dress is juxtaposed with beautiful digital prints on soft silk and chunky wool. The denim range is also to be admired with some of the best fitting boyfriend jeans I've seen. The prints are reminiscent of baroque ceilings and gold leaf paintings. Somewhat of a statement brand I can't wait to get my hands on some of these pieces. Check out Ksubi and tell me if you admire it as much as I do.

New Buys.

Happy Easter to you all! How's everybody's weekend so far?! I've got a few things planned and I'm currently back in Manchester enjoying family time. I've mainly spent the last week buying new bits of clothing for the days ahead and I thought I'd share with you my new buys, so take a look below!

I bought 2 lovely tops, one from COS and one from &other stories, i also bought some trousers from H&M and shoes from Primark. Boy have I given some money to Hennes & Mauritz this week.

I bought the lime top from COS for £39. I think this is quite steep for a tshirt style top, but it is made in some lovely silk fabric that has a slight metallic look to it. The black tee from &other stories has a white mesh stripe running through which is a more relaxed way to wear the Monochrome trend. The geo print trousers are an absolute bargain for £14.99 from the wonder that is H&M. A pop of colour in the form of cobalt blue is just what I needed right now! And the shoes, oh the shoes!! I've been looking for a pair of heeled sandals for so long and I was stunned to find these baby's in Primark for just £12.

What do you guys think of these? Have you bought anything wonderful lately? Please leave your comments and links!

Eeeek! First OOTD Post!

Hello you lot! How was everybody's weekend? It was my birthday and I spent it back home with my amazing boyfriend and wonderful family, in rainy Manchester, PERFECT! So as you all know I'm new to the blogging world, but I'm loving doing it and I've found it really interesting seeing what you other guys are wearing on a daily basis, a la I'd thought I'd share with you what I'm wearing too! I am kind of nervous about this, but here's my first post with an outfit I wore for a casual day back at home.

please let me know what you guys think and I'd really appreciate it if you would follow me on Bloglovin' here.

& Other Stories

& Other Stories is the latest brand to come from Swedish retail giants Hennes & Mauritz. With other brands such as COS, H&M, Monki and Cheap Monday already taking the high street by storm I was super excited to see what else they could possibly reveal. Living in London really has so many positives and when I heard the new & Other Stories store would be opening on the one and only regent street I could not be more pleased!! Only a few minutes walk from work and surrounded by its sister stores...BONUS! Stores in Berlin & Copenhagen also launched simultaneously, how cool is that?!

The store is everything you would expect, cool Swedish styling, simplicity and lots of white. This is something that has made me fall in love with everything Scandinavian  So inside its clean and cool and you can buy every possible item you would want as a fashion conscious woman. There's beauty, Skin Care, Shoes, RTW, Jewellery and even some wonderfully chic Lingerie.


The & Other Stories is precisely fashion lead. Bags that look like they have been carefully mastered by a french designer and clothing that looks like a tailor has been working all night. Designs vary from masculine boyfriend coats & tees to feminine dresses. The diversity of the styling in stores means it is perfect for your day to night wardrobe. Prices are a little higher than your average high street retailer, but many items come in a little cheaper than sister store COS, but with the same characteristics, which means it's great if your looking for the style with out the price tag.

I really loved this store and I know that I'll be making it a regular place to stop on my weekly shopping trip to central London! Take a look at some images that have been taken from their SS13 Lookbook. All items are available now to buy online here.
