Bonjour!
I am back from an amazing trip to Paris, with a quick outfit post for you!
This monochrome grid print jumpsuit is my favourite thing I have bought this year, and its from Dorothy Perkins! I wore this with a leather jacket and studded sandals for a sightseeing stroll.
I will probably do a travel diary post with some photographs I took whilst I was there at a later date.
Bonjour!

Bonjour!
Hope you had a lovely weekend! Finally seen a bit of sunshine and took the opportunity to take some outfit snaps.
If you follow me on twitter you may have seen me excitedly tweeting about a weekend trip to Matalan, as I’d seen a few bits I needed - and they kindly tweeted me back with a 20% off promotion! Score!
I love this polka dot midi dress so much.
- Dress - Matalan
- Hat - ASOS
- Locket - my Nan’s

I also spent this weekend researching Paris, my boyfriend and I are going in 4 weeks and I’ve never been more excited about anything, ever. Have you ever been to Paris? Want to share some travel tips?
Bonjour!
Hope you have had a lovely Easter weekend! I am about 3 mini eggs away from turning into one. I’ve got a bit of a different blog post today, a bedroom post! I have taken pictures of bits and bobs in my bedroom, because I had tidied it (which it isn’t very often), so I thought it would be a good chance for you to nose around, because who doesn’t like being nosey?!
What do you think of my boudoir…?
Bonjour!
I’m back in Liverpool (que the wombats lyrics) after a wonderful and snowy week in Scotland.

Back to reality this week! Some different blog posts planned so stay tuned!
Bonjour!
Today I’m blogging from Scotland! We arrived in Aberfeldy on Saturday and it has been so lovely (freezing cold, but lovely.) I love living and working in the city, but getting away from it for a while is so so nice.
This is what I wore today. This is the first day it hasn’t been raining so I was able to take a few outfit snaps!
- Top - Vero Moda via ASOS
- Gold Chain - H&M
- Jeans - Internacionale
- Backpack - Primark
- Boots - Kurt Geiger
- Coat - ASOS
Today we went to one of my favourite book shops, The Watermill in Aberfeldy. It has the cutest little cafe where I could spend hours browsing books and drinking coffee
Hopefully I’ll get a few more rain free days to blog about my Scottish adventures!
This weekend has been one of my nicest for a long time! On Saturday I went to my first ever wine tasting at Vinea in Liverpool. We got a selection of red, white and cheese - it was amazing! On Sunday we took my Mum to Il Forno for a 3 course meal, and I am still full now!
This is what I wore on Saturday
- Leather Jacket - Topshop
- Shirt - H&M
- Dress - boohoo.com
- Boots - Kurt Geiger
- Bag - ASOS
This weekend I’m off to bonnie Scotland, I am so excited. I will be blogging from there so stay tuned!
Bonjour!
I was recently sent this amazing dress from Lovestruck, who I have worked with in the past and loved their items. I would never blog about something just because I was gifted it but with this dress, the colour, textures, cut and fit are everything I want from a dress and couldn’t wait to blog about it.
I couldn’t resist a girlie twirl!
This is the carmen dress, and I am absolutely in love with it (excuse the pun…!) You can follow Love Struck on Twitter or like them on Facebook
Yesterday I went shopping in Liverpool, and picked up a few pieces I can’t wait to share with you!
Bonjour!
As you may have seen, last weekend I was down in London working at Fashion Week. Stupidly I didn’t get any outfit photographs to blog about, so I have finally got round to taking some!
I might be biased, but I am actually in love with boohoo’s SS13 Boutique range. Especially the monochrome elements and biker jackets.
- Jacket - boohoo Boutique
- T-shirt - Topshop
- Necklace - Zara
- Pants - boohoo Boutique
I have never really been into matching items of my clothes, but I really love this combintation of the paisley print on the jacket and the pants with a simple t-shirt. What do you think?
Bonjour!
I got back from London this morning after spending two amazing days at London Fashion Week. I have a little photo diary for you!
Some of my highlights were going to the Valentino exhibition, staying in the same hotel as the Woolmark prize ceremony, having the most amazing burger and milkshake in Byron, and seeing lots of amazing bloggers/street style/inspirations! I am exhausted from working and all the excitement!
Bonjour!

As I’ve mentioned (probably too many times) I love a good monochrome outfit, well - suprise! I’ve got another one for you!
I like how simple this outfit is. I can’t wait to wear this denim pinafore this Spring/Summer! What do you think?
I also have a new obession - my polaroid camera! I have been using it a lot since I got it, going through the film far too quickly. Cannot wait to take it to Paris!
Bonjour!
An exciting blog post for you today, well for me, but I hope you find it exciting too! Just before Christmas I was contacted by the editor of an independant bimonthly magazine called The Clothes Maiden about featuring my blog!
I did an outfit of the day post for them and an interview about my blog.
There are so many inspirational people featured in the issue, including one of my favourite jewellery brands Vanessa Mooney. I am so happy to be involved! Read the full interview here : http://issuu.com/theclothesmaiden/docs/tcm10/82

This weekend I have mostly hibernated from the snow, eaten lots and taken photographs with my new polaroid camera - more on that next time!
Bonjour!
Hope you have all had a lovely weekend! I have an outfit post from mine…
- Top - ASOS
- Necklace - Zara
- Skirt - Primark
- Socks - Urban Outfitters
- Boots - boohoo.com
- Leather Jacket - Topshop
- Bag - Matalan
- Scarf - Ebay
This is one of my favorite outfits at the moment. I love my ASOS top, it’s pretty much my perfect t-shirt - easy to dress up or down. I also think the Primark skirt is a really good transitional piece at the moment, as it will look great without tights when it (finally) starts getting a bit warmer. It comes with a really cute studded belt, can’t complain for £10!
This is how I spent my Sunday morning… bliss.
Bonjour 2013! How did that happen?! This year has gone SO fast.
However, with a new year comes new trends. I would not call myself a trend follower as such but I do like to be aware of what the latest trends are. It seems that monochrome is going to be big in SS13, which is very good for me as this term describes 97% of my wardrobe anyway! Today’s outfit consists of monochrome, leather, fur, messy hair and red lipstick…
- Top - Zara
- ecklace - Zara
- PU insert leggings - boohoo.com
- Coat - H&M
- Shoes - boohoo.com
- Bag - Urban Outfitters
- Watch - Armani
- Lipstick - MAC - Russian Red
2012 was very good to me! To name a few stand out moments - my blog was featured in More! Magazine twice, I was invited to some amazing events, and got the fashion/social media job I’d been working so hard to get! Looking forward to see what 2013 brings…
