a thoroughly english day out..

Bonjour mes amis :)

Yesterday I enjoyed a lovely winters day shopping and coffee shop-ing with my beautiful friend Hebe in Bath.

The air was frosty so I wrapped up warm, channelling my inner animal and donning my leopard print scarf. And I also wore my lovely new Urban Outfitter boots which I talked about a couple of posts ago and they were just a pleasure to spend the day in: warm, comfy and oh-so stylish.

After perusing the clothing selection in a few shops and drooling over the gorgeous choice of high heels and aviator jackets for a couple of hours we hopped, skipped and jumped to a cute little café where, being the fatty that I am, I enjoyed a bowl of pommes frites :).

I am absolutely loving taking photographs at the moment, catching beautiful candid moments and a special point in time in a split second with just one click of a shutter :) ...

[the two photos of me and my chips were taken by hebe]

mmm, those chips were so delicious :)

How cool is that vintage bike! I just need one of those so that I can pretend I drive it :)

On a trip to Topshop I found a gorgeous, chunky floral cardigan in the sale, reduced from 45 pounds to 20 :). I love how warm and cuddly it feels and the big pink flowers on it are just so pretty.

So unable to resist, I put my new purchase on and gallivanted around the streets just waiting for the compliments ...  hehe, just kidding ;).

Cue posy pictures ;)

After a hard day of shopping and posing for photos the best thing to come home to is a slice of vanilla cheesecake and a cup of jasmine tea :). 

So that's what we did.

And yes, I do rather enjoy leafing through the pages of Nigella's cookery books :) hehe.

and finally, a naughty slice of cake before bed, because, you're only young once ;)

lotsa love

Baggy is beautiful ♥

Ciao ♥

As I write this post I am in complete shock that the gorgeous Italian Nicolo has been voted off the X Factor. He was the only reason I was turning up to Italian lessons at school...

Anyway

Today, I went shopping with my lovely mother and she bought me three lovely items for my trip to Spain on Thursday :)

Really, I didn't have a Mediterranean trip in mind when I chose my three items, and instead had my A/W hat screwed on and wanted to find a few things that could jazz up my wardrobe for the season.

I am in love with loose, casual knitwear at the moment, and this gorgeous jumper caught my eye.

It has gathering at the front which also looks great when you wear it back to front and it just feels so comfy and warm and snuggly. Ahh.

Stripy jumper/H&M/9.99

I also bought these cute lacy tights, I love delicate lace patterns and teemed them here with my go-to Zara ankle boots.

The third item I bought was a cute little nude coloured bag - I may do another post on that beauty some time in the near future... :)

I am wearing a blue body con skirt from, yes again, H&M :) and underneath a grey-blue vest which I believe was from good ol' marks and sparks.

Has anyone else been stocking up on baggy beauties for comfort?

Hope your weekend was dinga-linging :)

lotsa love

Yes please ;)

Hello sweetys!

As I have said, many times before, I love Autumn/Winter.

So much.

So, here is a quick run down of the five things which I think are essential to survive the trend :)

I hope you enjoy!

Fingerless studded leather gloves/New Look/£8

I have always had a bit of a thing for fingerless gloves, but instead of the usual woolen ones I think I'll go for some leather.

These are so cute and the colour is gorgeous. Also lovin' the studs - I think these are just a bit different. And only £8 a pop :)

Skinny leather plaited belts/New Look/£5

Anyone who knows me will know that every, and I mean every, outfit I put on has to be, if it's possible (and quite often when it's not possible) 'cinched in at the waist'. Yes, I love belting things. So for autumn/winter a good belt is essential. I'm loving skinny ones at the moment over big baggy shirts and tops (see last post) and the plait pattern gives them a bit of extra 'kerching' ;D

Buckled Clog Boots/Topshop/£150

I LOVE THESE BOOTS SO MUCH. The dark brown is so so gorgeous and the heel is just amazing, I would love to strut down the street in these (without falling over, of course ;).) They are, admittedly, a little out of my price range.

But surely, daddy, these are an essential item?! ;)

Hinge front bag/Topshop/£45

I think a simple, classic black bag is an essential for this season. I adore the slouchiness of this bag and well, just lurve it :D

MAC lipsticks in Myth and Impassioned/£12.50 each

I love a nude lip therefore I need Myth - such a gorgeous creamy pinkish nude which will be perfect teemed with neutrals and warm beiges.

I think winter is the time to go a little daring and Impassioned is perfect for this, a gorgeous bright pink that will look fab with dark greys and navy.

So that's the end of my little post for today :)

What things are you lusting after for this new season?
