OUTFIT POST // LADY IN LEATHER

 Hi! So this is my second outfit post, and I would absolutely love it if you let me know what you think :)

This is the outfit I wore on Christmas Day, and have worn a couple of times since. I really love it because it's the sort of outfit that works if you're going out  to a restaurant or for a night out, or if you just want to look smart-casual for a day out shopping. I got both the pleather skirt and printed shirt from Miss Selfridge in the pre-Christmas sale they had on. They were definitely bargains, and to be honest I couldn't believe someone hadn't already snapped them up!

My favourite part about the skirt is the gorgeous colour, it's a burgundy/brown, and I haven't come across another like it! I paid £14 for it, and it look so much more expensive, plus, its so easy to style up or down, I've definitely got my wear out of it. I was on the look out for a leather skirt, but some I saw were so 'out-there' I really didn't know if I would wear them, so I was so glad when I saw this. As for the shirt, the material is gorgeous, almost satin like. My only bug is that there has been some fraying at some of the stitches, but I can't really complain as just like the skirt, I've had a fair bit of wear out of it. 

The necklace I'm wearing was a christmas present from my lovely boyfriend, who ventured into Zara and picked it out. He definitely did well, as it's just my style! The half gold and half silver chain is really unique, and I have worn it with just about every shirt I own, it honestly goes with everything!

Have you got a pleather skirt? What do you think about the leather trend..?x

Sunday Shoe Lust!

It has to be said, I have a serious shoe-shopping addiction, I'd take a gorgeous pair of boots over a huge bar of chocolate any day. So, I've decided to dedicate today's post to some boots that caught my eye (and haven't left my brain since) from Forever 21

These AMAZING genuine leather booties come in two styles, leopard pony hair and black suede, so I really can't choose which is my favourite! The four inch block heel is just right for me (being 6 foot tall anything above that height can turn me into a bit of a giant) and lets be honest, block heels are so much easier to walk in. Plus, I absolutely love the zip-front detail, which I do seem to be a little obsessed with at the moment as I really think it makes any shoe look 100x cooler.

I think these boots would go perfectly with a pair of jeans and my trusty leather jacket for a smart-casual daytime look, as well as adding a little bit of rock and roll to a little black dress. Also they'd be perfect for a night out, as I wouldn't have to take a spare pair of flats in my bag! I'm still debating whether or not to find £55.90 to spend on these gorgeous booties, but while I decide, there's no harm in drooling over them for just a bit longer!

Are there any shoes you're really lusting over at the moment?...x
