Perfect match // OOTD

'If your tears should produce rivers that shape landscapes,
Let your laughter be the force which shapes continents.
If your sadness is a monsoon,
Let your happiness be the ocean' - Nav K

Smock Dress; ASOS // Denim Jacket; Vintage // *Nike Free Runs; via Sports Shoes

I've been living in this dress all summer so I thought I may aswell make another post about it (you can see my first one here) as I truly love it. The denim jacket is also great for this time of year to just throw on, you know, just incase the rain clouds decide to show their unwanted face.

I'm trying to get back in to blogging and I can't wait till I complete my work so I can properly sort out and plan some more interesting posts. For the meantime, however, it will have to be a couple of rushed ootd posts until I have more time. This wouldn't happen if I was more organised, I know, I blame myself too, haha!

Currently, I have been loving:

Don't let doubt ever have its day // OOTD

Dress; ASOS // Coat; Urban Outfitters* // Cardi & shoes; Primark // Necklace; H&M // Rings; H&M + Topshop

Last Sunday I met up with Gavina for a walk round Uni Park and Highfields and erm it was bladdy cold! But we managed to take some outfit photo's before finding some warmth. This is another ASOS purchase (yep, I'm becoming obsessed with them) and it's the same as the dress in this post, just quarter length and a different colour. I think it would look better without the tights but I'll have to wait for Summer to get here before trying that out I think! I do love the colour though and it's so easy to wear and I don't have to worry about it being too short - I keep having this issue with dresses being waaaay too short for me because I'm too tall even though I'm not really that tall but let's not get into that because I could complain forever ha!

Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool // OOTD

Dress; ASOS || Jacket; Vintage || Belt; Primark || Shoes; Primark
Thank you to my friend Bim for the photo's!

I saw this dress online at ASOS and instantly fell in love with it. I really wanted to do a '3 ways to wear' post for this dress and took a load of photo's with different styles to wear this but it didn't work out :( I blame my lack of ability to edit/sort out photo's but meh, maaaaybbeeeee one day I can get that sorted! I think dresses like this are so lovely and can be worn in so many different ways: really casual with a jacket thrown over or, if you are going to something formal then you can work with this too with a blazer or if you're going out then throw on a leather jacket. If you're going to a festival it would be great too, maybe with a hat and a stack of rings and necklaces... The possibilities are endless really! I guess the fact that it's long can put you off but I think it's just figuring out what to piece it with!

It feels like the perfect night... // Pastels & Prints - Wish-list

I currently work part-time in H&M and we have so many clothes that have come in for the new season with graphic prints and stripes just...everywhere. On trousers, blazers, dresses, you name it.  I made a bit of a wish-list focused on this up and coming trend because I'm sort of falling in love with it. it took me a while to get used to this style it but I think if you wear prints subtly and in the right way it can look really, really good. 
Dress, Jacket and bracelets; H&M
Shoes, necklace and bag; ASOS; 
 Here, I love this dress. Stripes are often overlooked sometimes out of fear of making you look big, but I think this dress really could suit any figure! The rest of the look also tones it down so all attention is drawn to the dress - perfect for a night out or something. 
Trousers, shoes and bag; H&M
Shirt; Forever 21
Ring; Ebay
 This image is more toned down but still incorporating the idea of 'prints'. Again, I didn't want to go too overboard with it as I think it can make the outfit look messy so this is more subtle and effortless.
Shirt, rings, necklace; H&M
Shoes and bag; Topshop

There are no prints here but I just love this look! I actually have this shirt from H&M but I haven't had a chance to wear it yet.  I do love the mint fresh colour of it. They had the same shirt in black and white also but I had to opt for this colour option. Pastels are great for Spring/Summer so can't wait to purchase more stuff in similar colours!

And finally! I have some exciting news!!
I'm hopefully going to venture on a little YouTube project that I have been planning for a while. I was going to keep it quiet for a bit longer but I'm just too darn excited! (can you tell...?) So watch this space and I will keep you informed with all the details soooooon!
Hope you all have a great week ahead.
