Off to Carnby Street




Jacket H&M // Top Brandy Melville // Jeans Asos // Shoes Primark // Bag Chanel

So most sunday me and the Mr will head out for lunch and today we decided to go to one of our fav haunts Carnaby street.... After a quick peak in Liberty, we ended up in Ping Pong for some dim sum and some sneaky cocktails (Hong Kong Colada is my fav!! ). Then headed to Printworks for a scrumptious Sunday lunch and a stroll across the canal. 

Sundays are so my best days of the week.

Throwing Shade


Pattenerd Retro Sunglasses Boohoo // Black Retro Frameleess Sunglasses Boohoo

Forever shopping for clothes and not enough accessories is the bane of my life. So this year I decided accessories were going to be number one on my wish list.

Having a sneak peak around Boohoo I came across some amazing sunglasses and decided I would definitely be purchasing one or two. As I prefer to try on sunglasses before purchase I thought two would be enough as I do not have the ability to try before I buy and returns-well I hate returning items I love ,but just do not want to fit my body as envisioned.

 I decided on some simple black glasses and brown patterned ones. As I tend to squint a lot sunglasses are a must have during the London Summer season. Although wearing them for long periods of time does give me a headache -sunnies are a staple. They are a protectants  UV rays, can reduce premature wrinkles caused by sun damage and constant squinting. They also make your outfit complete and your style mind content!

Reorganising SS15 Summer Rail


 
 
 
So we can definitely say summer is here and that calls for a wardrobe or in my case a rail haul. Apart from introducing SS15 clothing into my wardrobe I am also tasked with re-organising and bringing out SS14 clothing  that are still on my style list or clothing that can be styled to this seasons' must haves.

So after a long stressful day in the office I decided to re-organise my clothing rail. Removing quite a few patterns and dark opaque's from my rail and adding in soft delicate tones. I tend to colour code my clothes and also hang them on an open rail -as they are easier to access and pair to create an outfit- I use the Ikea  MULIG rail in white  its cheap, durable and contrast well with my grey muted walls.

For more storage ideas check out Ikeas' website with an array of open and closed wardrobes and rails I am sure you will find one that suits your needs.

Sunday Lunch Date



                       

Leather Jacket H&M // Grey Dress Pretty Little Thing // Shoes Next // Sunglasses Boohoo // Gold Chain Michael Kors // Earrings and Tooth Bracelet River Island 

Sunday Lunch dates with the Mr are a casual affair. Since receiving some items from Pretty Little Thing I was itching to wear them.

As we had a upmarket date at Duck and Waffle I decided to put in a little effort. It was reaching midday and there was a slight breeze so I decided to pair my dress with my trusty faux leather jacket and some comfy heels and I was ready to roll.

The sunglasses were added one because it was still really bright plus I has the most painful migrane-and keeping my eyes away from the light to dull the pain seemed ideal. I also wanted a little tipple and that would not of been able with painkillers in my system!

Hope you all like!

The Crops Day and Night Look


Black Knot Crop Top Pretty Litlte Thing // High Waisted Denim Shorts River Island (Alternative) // Shoes Next // Dark Green Mac Primark Sale (Recent)

Summer is finally here YAY! The Mr and I were invited to our friends house warming/ BBQ / drink up. I decided to wear a simple balck crop top and my high waisted shorts. This outfit was soooo simple to create and with a pair of black strappy heels (which I've had for ages) I was ready to rock and roll.

I also paired the outfit with an amazing forest green Mac I purchased from Primark for £10. For when it started getting a little chilly. And as you can see my outfit was not going to keep me warm once the sun had set-let alone the journey home.

I hope you all like
