Jeans revival

         River Island coat          Primark jeans          Primark shirt          h&m kimono          New Look boots          Forever 21 bag    

         

I haven't owned a pair of jeans in years, I just seemed to get into a habit of wearing tights and dresses everyday but I have been considering trying jeans again for a while now.  I wanted to get a cheap pair first of all just to see if I would get used to wearing them again and so I bought these Primark ones which only cost £11.  They seem to have done the trick anyway as I'm converted. Have my eye on these Topshop Joni jeans for my next pair.  I seen this sheer kimono on the h&m website and thought it looked quite nice styled with the jeans so I gave it a try, I just don't think it goes perfectly with these dark ones I'm wearing.  Really loving this tropical printed kimono from River Island as well, it is so pretty and colourful.

  1. Shopping     2. Hair dye time again      3. My foundation   4. P.S love products    5. Primark nails

A week late with this post but finally playing catch up tonight.  I tried on this skirt in photo 1 (from Primark) but left it back.  I really don't know why though as I actually liked it, typical me.  Anyway, I went back to get it two days later but there was none left in my size, think I just want it more now I know I can't have it.  

I have  been using Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation (photo 3) for almost a year, I wouldn't use anything else now. I don't have the best skin and prone to breakouts but this hides it all.  It's a little bit on the pricey side but it is 100% worth it as it lasts all day.  Also, a little bit goes a long way so I only need to buy it every two months.

I got a my hands on a few of the P.S love products by Primark that a few bloggers have recommended and I must say I was pleasantly surprised, especially since the prices start at £1.  I tried the brow pencil in dark, the kohl eye liner and the volumizing mascara, I have even been opting to use these products instead of my usual ones so that has to be a good sign.

What I wore

         Topshop skirt          Primark jumper          Miss Selfridge jacket          Primark shoes          Forever 21 bag          New Look jewellery     

It has been a very busy week of assignment work so I didn't get a chance to post anything.  I did manage to spare a few minutes to take some photos though.  To be honest I need a bit of practice, I'm far from a natural in front of a camera and my photography skills are basic at best but fingers crossed I will improve as I go.
As I said before, I loved these shoes as soon as I saw them but I had no clue what I would wear with them.  I honestly thought I would end up returning them or at least swapping them for the black pair.  After searching online, I found this skirt in Topshop that I thought would be quite nice with them but when I tried it on the following day it really didn't suit me.  I ended up trying on the skirt I am wearing (find it here) as a last resort and surprisingly liked it.  It was only £20 as well which helps.  Would like to find a nice pair of tapered trousers to wear with them next.

Wish list

1.White Pepper  dress     2. Zara boots     3. New Look shirt     4. Topshop shoes     5. H&M fadora    6. Zara dress     7.  Topshop set     8. ASOS bag      9. Boohoo skort      10. Tophop skirt

Beginning to develop a serious crush on The White Pepper.  All their dresses are so girly, they have the best coloured boots and, of course, their wonderful unicorn bags.  The dress pictured above (1) is my current favourite of theirs, could easily layer it up with a chunky knit and tights while patiently waiting for the sun to arrive (if it ever does).  It's about time I bought a new pair of boots as well, I like to get a new pair every few months as the are my favourite thing to wear and these Zara ones (2) have caught my eye, think they would look great with the co-ord (7) or the skort (9) and the hat (5).

  1. #ootd     2. Creating my first blog post     3. Collar obsession continues     4. Night out in my new shoes    5.Back in Northern Ireland spending quality time with my nephew

This is just a few photographs of what I got up to in the past week.  Outfit post to follow featuring shoes in photo 4, these beauties were a complete bargain from Primark at just £10.  Pink isn't usually a colour I would go for as I'm normally in black but love them.  I am actually loving a lot of things in Primark these days and I think the quality of the products have improved as well as how up to date they are with the current trends.  I have already collected three of their fluffy jumpers and have my eye on another colour which I will probably end up buying this weekend.  Also I watched this Primark beauty haul video this morning and I'm super excited to try some of these as well. 

Here goes...

I have ashamedly been talking about starting this blog for almost 5 years now which is simply ridiculous.  I have always known what I would call it and what I wanted it to be like.  I have made countless attempts to start, created hundreds of templates and wrote draft posts but never got round to finally publishing anything.  Better late than never I suppose.

I read a LOT of blogs and there really are some great ones.  My current daily reads are whatsnewpussycatt, love cloth, the little magpie, lilly melrose and wish wish wish but there are at least 20 more I browse through weekly, and not to mention my instagram obsession.  Anyway, looking forward to getting started on my own and hopefully I can make it an interesting read too.
