Collar Me

(Photography by Will Epps, check out his online portfolio here)

I have two things from Primark in my wardrobe, this dress is one of them and I'm a little bit in love with it. I barely ever shop in Primark because everything falls apart so easily and, at their prices, you know something is not quite right somewhere in the production line... But let's not get caught up in that!

I kind of wish this dress had sleeves, it would make me feel very Wednesday Addams indeed. I love the collar though. I am wearing my trusty Office shoes as usual and my Topshop leather jacket.

We got some very funny looks from people at the train station whilst taking these!

Tavi T Shirt

Here is the proof that I'm a blog nerd, I own a T Shirt designed by a blogger, Tavi of Style Rookie in fact. I'd been a little bit in love with the Borders and Frontiers blogger T Shirt series but it was only when I saw them in real life in Urban Outfitters that I decided to add one to my ever expanding wardrobe.

I'm sporting it with denim cut offs I cut up and shoes from Office.

Ripping up big jumpers

This outfit is very simple, seeing as it only consists of a big jumper and heels...

I love the colour of the jumper, it's like a big hairy, hessian type affair but it's surprisingly soft. When I bought it, from a Charity Shop, it had a really high neckline which I was not a fan of so I cut it off and shredded the neck creating ladders and a bit of a shredded effect.

The shoes are from Office (I think all of my outfit posts have had Office shoes in them so far, I'm not sponsored by them or anything, they just keep making awesome shoes!) and are my variation on the clog trend even though I bought them ages ago... I don't think me and clogs would get on sadly.

I love this little pond and bridge where we shot these pictures, it's a little bit idyllic and I can imagine going there over summer with BBQs and cider, I'm so looking forward to Summer!

I had a delightful time in London yesterday, there will be a few posts coming up about my adventures... Hope everyone is having a lovely, sunny weekend!

Just hanging out under a bridge in leather hotpants and 6 inch wedges, you know, as you do...

I actually wore this outfit to a leaving do on Friday in Manchester and rather liked it so recreated it with some better shoes! The shoes are a new addition to my shoe family and are from Office. They have a velvet curved wedge and thick elastic wrapping round your feet, I absolutely adore them. Plus, they're very comfortable!

The black and gold jumper is from Topshop and it has teeny shoulder pads which make me feel a bit like a robot, in a good way. The shorts are from Henry Holland's collection for Debenhams, a collection which is, on the whole, a barrage of colour and pattern but if you look there are some amazing pieces in there.

Hunching is not a flattering angle for me... Ah well...

ALSO, it looks like I'll be in London on Friday if anyone knows of any interesting things going down and would like to let me know... Or if anyone wants to have a bloggers meet up just get in touch!

First outfit post, hiding in the dark

So I caved into blogger peer pressure and, along with my talented friend Will Epps and his very good camera, took some photos of what I've been wearing recently. Alas, the only time we were both free was late at night so they're quite strangely lit. The last one was lit by a kind, if confused, Sainsbury's lorry driver.

But anyway, onto the clothes, I don't really know how to set this out as I am an outfit post newbie...
The first dress is a rather new one, by Motel from Ark (It's called Naomi if you're interested!), that I got just because of the back but when it arrived I realised it had pockets, I love a dress with pockets! I shall be wearing this galavanting around Thailand getting some very strange tan line.

The second outfit is my attempt to embrace the longer length trend, the skirt is from the New Look Kids section and was a hefty £2 on sale so obviously I had to get it... The Topshop leather jacket is something I wear practically every day, it's old and a bit ripped but I love it.

The third outfit is my Laura Mackness present from the lovely people at Weekday, which I teamed with an old denim shirt and not much else...

The last one, lit by headlights, is something I'd wear on a day to day basis, I'm seldom seen without a pair of cut off denim shorts at the moment. I cut these ones down from a pair of 50p Gap jeans I got at a Charity Shop. The velvet bra top was also from a Charity Shop, they are my shops of choice after all! The cardigan, from Full Circle, is a bit awesome, it has so much excess fabric you can turn it into a dress or make it have a hood.

My shoes are from Office and I love them oh so much...

So that was my very first outfit post, I hope you liked it, shall I power through and do more?
I am quite smitten with the photography, Will is a bit of a genius, check out his website or flickr.
