Outfit Post // Safari Chic

I'm on a blogging roll at the moment, what with the longer days and the endless sun I'm just loving thinking of summer looks to wear and pulling the once-a-year crop tops back out of my wardrobe again! But even with all the crop tops in the world, on a relaxed summer day, you really can't beat a jumpsuit. They are super comfy, and yet always seem to look good- so when I saw this amazingly cute Elephant print baby in New Look- I just had have it!

I've never come across a print as cute as this, and the added bonus of this jumpsuit is that with it's elasticated waistband and button up top, it's ridiculously comfy. It's a slouchy fit and lovely light material, which makes it perfect for long days travelling in the heat, so that's my holiday airport outfit sorted! It did come with a little black studded belt, but I think I prefer a brown belt with it- plus it goes better with my bag and sandals. 

The round frame sunnies could only really be from one place... Yep, you guessed it, Primark! They are a little bit too big and keep slipping down my nose when I wear them, but they make a nice on-top-of-the-head accessory anyway! Note to self- stop buying things without checking whether or not they fit. I also added these lovely earrings from Black Tied, an independent jewellery store, who sell some absolutely gorgeous unique pieces. The Turquoise Drop earrings I'm wearing are absolutely beautiful- they add a touch of boho babe to any outfit, and I'll certainly be getting plenty of wear out of them on my upcoming hols.

My cute little sandal shoes are also Primark finds. I believe they come in black as well as brown, and they a super little summer essential- a lightweight sandal that can be dressed up or down, and worn just about anywhere! 

All I feel this outfit needs now is a nice big floppy hat, a purchase I am yet to make, but will be coming very soon!

Are you loving jumpsuits this summer....? How would you style this super cute print...?x

Outfit Post // Abstract Attitudes

Hi everyone! You may have noticed a huge absence on my blog recently for which I can only apologise- so sorry about the massive blogging break! I've just started two new jobs, and have been working 6, sometimes 7 days a week, making finding the time/energy to take pictures a little bit more difficult than usual. However I've definitely settled in to a routine now, so the blog will now be back up and running- yay!


Coat*//M&S     Tee//Internacionale     Jeans//Primark     Loafers//Primark     Necklace//Primark     Bag//Accessorize  






I've been on a bit of a winning break recently, and a couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win this unbelievably gorgeous coat* courtesy of amazing blogger Emma Hill of EJStyle and Marks & Spencer's! I was one of three lucky winners chosen via Instagram, and honestly couldn't believe my luck! Anyway, the coat was a size medium, which fits slightly over-sized, but I think that adds to the whole style of the coat and makes it look even more flattering (and feel even more comfy) on. 
The abstract print also makes this a real statement piece, meaning it's perfect for both casual and dressy looks, I honestly can't describe how much I love this coat, plus it's definitely left me feeling inspired for Autumn/Winter shopping. As an added bonus, it's just gone into the M&S sale too, so you can now buy it here for a ridiculous £36!!! 

I didn't want the bold aztec print to clash with my outfit when styling, so went for casual staple pieces like my Primark loafers and boyfriend jeans, and a cute little cropped tee I bought from Internacionale a few years ago. I think they give my look a boho feel, and are all super comfy, making this look my go-to choice for long days out (mainly shopping) when I want to look stylish but can walk around all day without having to worry. The gorgeous necklace I'm wearing is also a recent Primark find, they are just so good for jewellery and accessories that aren't ridiculously overpriced (this necklace broke the bank at around £4 I think). My accessorize bag that you may have seen in some earlier posts was also a perfect addition to this outfit, it may be looking a little worn now, well I have used it everyday since Christmas, but it seems to just go with anything, and is the perfect size to fit all my random bits and bobs that I carry around when I leave the house. Finally I added a trusty red lip to match the jewel in my necklace, and the look was complete! 

Thank you to Emma Hill and Marks & Spencers! What do you think to statement coats like this? Are you loving them for Autumn/Winter like me...?x

Part 2 // 3 Ways to Wear: Boxy Crop Tee

I really hope you enjoyed part 1 of my 'Ways to Wear' series, and here's my part 2 post! Again the main feature of this outfit is my white boxy crop tee from Primark, but I've gone for a completely different look to the smart one I wore last time. Here goes...

Look 2: Festival Chic
Although I'm not heading to a festival next year, I'm still allowed to get excited for all the festival wear that's coming soon! I absolutely loved Leeds Fest when I went a couple of years ago, and I'm determined to get an elusive Glasto ticket next year, so why not start planning my outfits already- it's never too early, right? Haha well anyway, for this look, I may have borrowed my little sisters dress, but it's just so gorgeous that I couldn't help myself! 


Please excuse my wilder than usual hair! I was having a 'just-washed and too frizzy to straighten or curl' kind of day, having thick hair is such a pain sometimes! Anyway,  on to the outfit.. This gorgeous slip-on dress is from Miss Selfridge, sadly they no longer sell this particular colour but they do have a very similar one which is just as lovely here. I love how the dress on top of the tee gives off perfect festival boho vibes, it's such a laid-back but pretty combination! Obviously the weather would have to be nice to wear this outfit, which isn't always guaranteed at UK festivals, but what's the harm in dressing for Coachella even though you're only at Leeds fest?

I added my Gold Hoop earrings in this outfit just because they don't take away any of the prettiness from the outfit, and as with my last look, I think they add a bit of 'edge'. I think some statement stacked rings would also be perfect for this look, but as I haven't quite built up my collection enough yet I didn't include them in my photos.

Finally I added my favourite pair of cut-out boots that I bought in the Daisy Street sale just after Christmas. They aren't too chunky and have a slightly pointed toe which makes them more feminine than the other coltrane dupes on the market, and I absolutely love them! They are comfy and would be perfect for festivals, although a pair of wellies would also look bang on with this outfit, and would probably be more suitable for festival wear!

I'm super excited to post my last  look very soon, but I'd love to know what you think of my second look! How would you style the boxy crop tee for festivals...?..x
