Holiday OOTD's:

Only after returning from my holiday did I realize that I should have taken photos intended for ootd posts, however after a scroll through my holiday snaps, I thought perhaps a quick collage of a few of my outfits might do the trick. Here are four of my holiday outfits featuring playful prints, Chelsea boots, a leather gilet and a bright turquoise bag. Hopefully this post will show you how to play around with outfits using the some of the same items.

Outfit 1: Zara Basic white vest paired with Topshop dye print trousers (old season), Bershka leather gilet (old season) and Topshop Chelsea boots.

Outfit 2: Zara maroon vest, H&M black hoodie, Bershka gilet (old season) , Forever21 animal print trousers and Topshop Chelsea boots.

Outfit 3: Zara over sized t-shirt , Zara skinny jeans, Topshop Chelsea boots.

Outfit 4: Topshop Mickey Mouse vest, H&M hoodie, Primark maxi skirt tied with a knot on the side and Topshop ballet pumps.

Bank Holiday OOTD - Neon Bouclé blazer and striped bag:

 

 

With the sunshine peeking over us on this bank holiday Monday, I decided to add my own pop of colour to my typical clothing palette of black, black and more black (c’mon, there must be more of you that are also guilty of this!). Today’s outfit featured one of my favourite purchases of 2013 to date - this beautiful cropped, neon yellow bouclé blazer from Mango. To keep all the attention on the blazer, everything else was kept rather minimal with an oversized black Mango t-shirt, black Zara skinny jeans, and my trusty Topshop Chelsea boots. The monochrome, striped handbag is from Zara, and I love this bag as it fits almost everything I need (laptop and all) and it can be worn on the arm or shoulder.

My makeup was kept very simple today – basic winged liner and nude lips, and my hair was in a rather messy half up-do.
