Denim and Yellow

Hello, Everyone :)

I have not done an outfit post in a long time again. I had to have a little look around in my closet (read rails) because I have to find outfits for a trip we are going on. And summer was so long time ago I have kind of forgotten what I actually have. And in the midst of finding summery outfits I found my beloved pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, which made me think of a nice and bright outfit :) hope you enjoy :)

Wearing: JEANS - Zara, YELLOW TOP - Missguided, BAG - New Look, SHOES - Missguided, NECKLACE (SET OF 2) - Forever21, BELT - h&m, SUNGLASSES - Primark

Shop the style

Stay tuned everyone :)

Sneakers for lunch

Hello, Everyone :)

I've got a sneaky feeling I've got a sneaker fever :D I'm not lying to you. I feel like wearing sneakers all day every day. With dresses and jeans and shorts and skirts. But why? you may ask...because they are cool and comfortable :) And that is it. So I have been on a look for a good white sneaker ever since my white pair from Old Navy turned into something out of a hallway of a farmer due to my previous work in the bar :D Let's be honest it was my own fault wearing white shoes in a place were the bottom part of the floor is covered with sticky alcohol and tissue paper, and the uniform code was actually black shoes, but hey anything to look good on that walk to the toilet right :D And I kind of forgot all about the fact that I use to love wearing them with absolutely everything until the other day when I was trying to find new pair of slippers.
The story goes like this. (Be aware that, the story is not very riveting, interesting or anything else :D) I was looking for slippers on Next. I asked D if he wanted something as I was paying for delivery anyway, so why not. And he told me he wanted some sneakers. And I was like sneakers you say. So while I was looking for sneakers on the mens site I suddenly had a thought of my old white sneakers. This is actullay what happened in my brain...I did come across a fond memory of the pair of white sneakers I use to own. So I looked up some awsome canvas white sneaks and ordered them :D And I've been wearing them ever since...every day...unless it's a no going out day, then I stay in slippers :D
Here is a look I wore to a casual lunch date Yesterday :) STARRING...WHITE SNEAKERS...I'm such a loser :D Hope you enjoy :)

November Favourites

Good Morning, Everyone :)

It's December....the month of Christmas. I'm too excited :D But this post is not about December nor is it about Christmas, it's about my November Favorites :)

A lot of bloggers do beauty favorites, but mine will include food, fashion and baby things as well :) Escpecially because I haven't really gotten anything new in the beauty department :D

First it's Food.

Last month it was healthy sea bass if I remember correctly, but as the weather gets colder and the days get shorter...the food gets stodgier :D

So for November our favourite food was Ribs. We had the tesco pork ribs with a bbq glaze every week :D Eat them with some mash or sweet potato fries...delicious :D

This week it was Morrissons though as D did a weekly/monthly food shop from there this time :) and it's sweet chilli rather than bbq

The baby favourites of the month are these Burts Bees poducts.We got the calming cream for his sensitive baby skin and the shampoo/body was that I use in a bath :)
These products are so good and they smell even better...like honey (burts bees you know :D) They are a bit on the pricey side when it comes to cost...I paid 16 pounds for the 2. But you can wait for some offers to come along to try them for a bit cheaper because as babies go, sometimes what works for one doesn't neccessarily work for the other :)
I actually got a small gift pack for 8 pounds (7 pounds cheaper than usual) when the Boots baby event was on to try them before I bought the big sizes. I still have the baby oil and the diaper ointment left from the set even though they were tiny sizes :)

My favourite beauty products for November are actually scents.

First it's the inexpensive French Connection body spray. It came in a set that my friend got me for my birthday and it's just such a nice and sweet vanilla scent to spray on on those casual days :) I sometimes spray it in the room to make the room smell nice as well :D

And the second one was a Christmas present from my mom and sister ( we did presents early this year)

YSL Black Opium fragrance....I absolutely like it a lot, I might even say I love it a bit :D The smell is just so me and I'm quite surprised I've found a scent I think I like more than Euphoria by Calvin Klein (my usual fragrance that I've been using for a couple of years)

The other thing I like about the present was that the bottle is a nice 30ml plus there was a handbag sized 10ml spray of it as well in the gift set, which will come handy with a small clutch bag or even just a hand bag, as big bottles of perfume can be heavy.

Another favourite of mine was the good Revlon colorburst lip butter in 010 Raspberry Pie. It's just a really nice purple coulor just like winter berries :) I like a darker lip for winter time :) These lip butters are super inexpensive as well( link here )Plus at the moment, you get a free Colorburst balm for fee when you spend 10 pounds on Revlon in Boots :)

And the last of the November favourites is this hat :D Being a busy mama and all I wear my hair in a pony tail most of the days, and sometimes when I have a shower when O is already asleep I don't get a chance to blowdry it which means it looks like a curly mess rather than hair so having a hat that looks good and is also warm when I have to dash out without getting a chance to do anything with my hair before hand is great :)

I got this from h&m and I think it was about 8 pounds :)

Hope you enjoyed my November Favourites post

Stay tuned

Outfit Of The Day

Good Afternoon, Everybody :)

I thought that, since the last two outfit posts were quite casual, I'll do a fancy, pancy, dressy outfit today :D And I've gone all out wearing my new clip on hair extensions as well :) To be fair I should've done all of this after coming back from town (I'm in need for some beauty essentials) but I just didn't think. Not that it's a problem, but it means I have literally gotten myself all prettied up for 10 minutes :D and then now I have to take it all off...anyway, I'm sorry about the weird words...I just can't think of any normal ones :D

Back to the post..this one is all about the pencil skirt. I must admit, the ''skirt'' here is actually a bottom part of a dress. I cut it off because I would get more use having it as a skirt as I would wearing it as a dress...I don't think I even have the top part anymore :D I really like an all white/off white look with a few metallic or colourful accessories :) I have gone for the blues. I think the contrasting colours just work really well together and it's definitely a christmas party look :)

Wearing :

Skirt (half of a dress) - Asos

Blazer - h&m

Shirt - New Look

Shoes - New Look

Bag - New Look

Watch - fake Cartier...don't judge me, it was a present :D

Hope you enjoyed the post :) 

Stay tuned and why not follow my blog so you wouldn't miss anything ;)

Outfit nr 2

Good Afternoon, Everyone :)

Day 2 of finding new life for my old clothes. 

I do feel I have an upper hand in this challenge, because I haven't been able to use most of my wardrobe for the past year or so due to pregnancy. So now every item I pull out is like new to me and I get all excited about it again. Or I'm able to wear a belt to completely change the look of something.

The look I'm going for today is all about the boots. I bought these New Look boots about 2 years ago on sale for 7 pounds...could've been 8 or 9 :D...but none the less, they were so cheap. I think the last time I wore them was last winter :S It just shows how little I use my wardrobe. I have my everyday favourites and even when I go out...I just keep going back to outfits or clothing pieces that are tried and tested many times. 

Back to todays post though...it's something I haven't worn before(i've worn the pieces as part of different outfits but never together) and I think that's the whole point...reinventing the pieces of clothing you already have in order to shop less and spend money on things that matter :)
I have paired the dark brown boots with earthy colour for that Autumn feel.

Boots - New Look
Shirt - h&m
Jeans - zara
Knitted vest - h&m
Bag - New Look
Watch - Olivia Burton
Belt - h&m

The Rainy Day

Good Evening, Everyone. This is a post about what I wore on Wednesday. I had to go on a little shopping trip, so I decided to take this lovely dress out for the first time since getting pregnant :)
I'm really liking the moss/khaki green this autumn :)

Dress - h&m (bought last year autumn)

Tights - Primark

Boots - River Island

Cardigan - h&m

Since I now always go out with Oscar I don't get to wear my bags anymore :D I don't have a diaper bag, but I do have my New Look slouchy black leather bag on the pushchair handle, so this is where I keep all my things. I don't even know what it feels like wearing a bag anymore :D

Hope you enjoyed the post :) I must start getting ready now, as O is asleep (FINALLY) and we are going to go watch Jon Richardson tonight. So it's kind of like date night, except we are only going to the show and then coming straight home (my friend is babysitting :)). There shall be no dinner before and no drinks after :D I guess that's what it's like having a baby though, you make sacrifices...it's still good to get out every now and then without O and play grown-ups :)

Stay tuned, everyone :)

Outfit Of The Day

This is the first outfit of the day post about the fashion buys I did with my sister. I did only buy two things but one of them is a dress, which is a whole outfit on it's own.
The item I'm talking about in this post  is the burgundy red blouse with white cuffs and lapel.
And it is from Primark (I got it from the Primark section in Selfridges though, as I just can't go to the normal one in Birmingham with a baby). I do think it's all more civilised in there as well. Everything is nicely organised and pretty and clean.

I just think that for what it cost (10 pounds) it looks so much more expensive, not that I care if I look expensive :D And I love the dark red color for autumn :)

It was also the only sunny day we had, while my sister was here, but even though it was sunny it wasn't that warm, so I wore a coat and a scarf...damn you windy cold air...go back.

Camel color Coat - New Look (bought last year)

Green jeans - Zara

Leopard print Espadrilles - h&m 

Camel color Scarf - h&m

And these are my two monkeys :) Miss her already

Enjoy the time with your family, you guys :)
Appreciate every moment
and stay tuned for the bargain dress outfit of the day post :)

Daily Outfit

This is an outfit I was thinking of wearing on my Birthday night out. I ended up changing the shorts for a pale pink dress though and the shoes for light blue high heel sandals. I don't have a full outfit photo at the moment from that night, but once I do get it from my friend I will upload it to probably instagram, so follow me there.

Wearing:

Shoes - Zara

Shorts - h&m

Belt - New Look

Lace Top - Forever21

Blazer - h&m

It's very strange to actually have a waist now :D and being able to wear waist belts. I do still have a bit of a belly though, so I will be holding back on wearing the curve hugging dresses :) For now...

Hope you enjoyed the post.
Stay tuned

Daily Outfit

Good Afternoon everyone :)

Just a quick outfit post for you all. This is what I wore yesterday. My lovely friend from Estonia is in Birmingham so I went to meet her and her boyfriend in town.

Wearing

Dress - Forever21, Boots - River Island, Cardigan (middle picture) - h&m

Outfit of the Day

Good Evening, everyone. This is a quick outfit post from yesterday. My family left in the morning to fly back to Estonia, so I went to town to send them off at the train station.  I didn't bring little birdie, because the weather was really nasty and rainy so D was taking care of him while I was gone. I didn't actually think I would be able to go anywhere without him this soon, so it's good to know D can handle a couple of hours unattended :D
I'm wearing H&M basics...a long black tank top and leggings and Zara sweater. And if you've been following my blog you might remember these shoes. I was obsessed with them but the last pair was completely destroyed because I wore them pretty much every day and when I bought this pair, my feet were a bit swollen, so I couldn't fit into them :D But they are back now, and I'm so happy :D
I did have to wear a black blazer as well and I wore my tan New Look bag :)
