Scruffy Pup

Aran Cardigan - Vintage | Top - H&M | Skirt, Tights & Socks - Primark | Necklace - Accessorize | Boots - Office

I think I look like a bit of a scruffball here - with the messy hair and slouchy cardigan, but I still quite like it - what do you guys think?

I really like pencil skirts and body con mid-length dresses, however my muffin top does not agree, so I have to pair them with baggy tops.  I need some inspiration how to style them with a not so slender body, anyone got any tips?  I also never realised how hard it was to find a plan oversized T, their either far too long, far too see-through or far too high in the neck - sheesh, who knew it would be so difficult to find such a basic item!

Anyone else have problems of what you thought to be a basic item?

And this will be the last pic with my long locks, as I'll be revealing my new shorter do.

This weekend I shall be be jetting off to Ireland tomorrow for one night only for my Nana's Surprise 80th Birthday.  It should be good, though I don't think I'll be getting much sleep as there will be about 30 people staying in 2 houses ... fun!  I'll let you know how it goes.  What's everyone else's plans for the weekend?

I little bit of sparkle

Cardigan & Tights - Primark | Dress - H&M | Boots - Clarks

So I've actually chopped all my hair off, but I've got a few another post to go before you can see it.  I've really been getting into my television series and the moment and have caught up with The Walking Dead (love love love) and Game of Thrones (brilliant!) and currently catching up on Boardwalk Empire - I loooooove the characters style, it's set in 1920's:

Don't you just adore the 1920's style?

With all the snow around, I've been debating if I should buy a pair of Hunter Wellies - I mean I've seen better designs around for about £15, but I've gone through 3 of them by finding they hand holes as I stepped through puddles and snow!  But on the other hand Hunters are at least a whopping £65! Does anyone have any good alternatives?

It wasn't just my blog that I have neglected over the Christmas period, I didn't paint my nails once!  So I decided to jazz them up a little with a little sparkle.

What do you think?  I do like the accent nail, I don't think I'll get bored of it,  it makes a simple manicure pop.  

I always bypass this dress in my wardrobe, it just looks so plain on the hangers, yet when I have it on, I fall back in love with it - anyone else get that with any of their clothes?

❄ Winter Wonderland ❄

Aran Cardigan - Vintage | Dress - Urban Outfitters | Tights - Primark | Shoes - Office

Right, it's high time I got back into the blog.  I know I have been MIA for a good couple of weeks and have paid for it as I've lost a couple of followers :( I just got so swept up with Christmas and New Year, with lots of family fun and parties, and now snow!  I can only apologise and promise I'll be better this year.  Please forgive me?

I've not taken full advantage of the sales this year, I don't know, I've just not been brave enough to hit the high street this year, but I have managed to pickup one our two bargains, like this dress for £15 and these shoes for £25.  Has anyone else managed to grab any bargains?  Did you guys throw yourself into the sale spirit?

If you follow me on twitter or instagram, you'll know it's been snowing in London - FINALLY is all I can say, I love it when the parks are covered in beautiful white snow, and you come indoors covered in frosty flakes.  Have you guys had snow in you part of town?  And do you love the snow?

Rosie The Riverter

It's the first real day back at work and it was just impossible to get out of bed this morning, which mad it impossible to wash my hair without being obscenely late ... queue YouTube and my favourite hair guru Natalie @ oakoscar100 and a 10min hairstyle.  The Rosie The Riveter inspired do was so quick and easy that you've got to check it out.

This was my first attempt, what do you think?

Do you like my matchy matchy eyes and scarf?  I wish this line was as purple in real life but unfortunately it is not - sad times.  I also should have used a clear elastic rather than a blue band - doh! I'll remember for next time.

A Happy New Year to all, how did you guys ring in the new year?  I was at a house party in Waterloo with a rather good view of the London Eye and the fireworks - it was a pretty awesome and rather drunken affair!

I've made a few resolutions for the year: 

1. Get back to the gym

2. Eat more healthily

3. Go on more dates

4. Save more money

What new year resolutions have you made?
