When my boyfriend suggested that we drive out to the bay today for lunch and a walk, I certainly didn't expect to end up blogging about it. Despite being very casually dressed, the sunshine, water and blue skies provided a backdrop that was too stunning to resist so we took a couple of snaps of my outfit while we walked along the waterfront. We had a lovely afternoon in the sun and a lovely lunch as well. Not too bad for an unexpected Sunday outing at all!

Denim & Lace


Skinny Jeans - Jay Jays
Top - Forever New
Leather Jacket - Primark
Ballet Flats - Cote-A-Cote, Paris
Handbag - Forever New
Bracelets - Diva
----------
This casual look was inspired by my favourite fashion blogger, Rebekah Wing from Flirting With Fashion. I dressed this outfit up a little more than Rebekah's original look for a night out with friends and my boyfriend to have dinner at a pub and then go see Iron Man 3.  I really love the contrast not only between black and white but also of the tough textures of denim and leather with the crochet lace. This is definitely one of my favourite combinations and I think I will be wearing it a few more times before autumn is through!

This Week I Love...


As I mentioned in my last post, I am sorry for being absent from this blog recently. I have been dealing with some very personal issues in my life to do with my health and it has taken a lot of focus and energy to deal with them. I do want to put more effort back into this blog and even if I can't post outfits as much as I would like (my boyfriend/photographer is also going through some health issues), I do want to keep posting new content such as posts like this and more lifestyle/beauty related posts too. So please be patient with me and most importantly, keep reading!
Map Print Scarf - TopShop
I am a little bit obsessed with map prints because of my love of travel and absolutely adore this printed scarf from TopShop! The design is very cute and the price fairly cheap but when shipping costs more than the item itself, it's doomed to be stuck on my wishlist instead of on my "to purchase" list.
TROOPA Boots - Steven Madden
I have had a little bit of a love affair with Steve Madden since discovering his designs last year and these boots are amazing. They are currently on sale for just $100 from Urban Outfitters and I wish more than anything I had the money to buy them! They would go great with a pair of skinny jeans or printed leggings and would replace the pair of boots I walked to pieces (literally) in London over Christmas. Hopefully I can save up and buy a pair before the season is over!
Lady Strut Bag - Princess Polly
This shoulder bag from Princess Polly is just adorable! I love the cute bow detail and the size is just perfect.  I am seriously lusting over this bag right now and it comes in coral and teal as well for those who, unlike me, prefer a pop of colour rather than basic black.
Asymmetrical Leatherette Skirt - Bardot
I have not been much of a fan of Bardot in the past but their clothes this season have really changed my opinion of the brand. I adore this leatherette skirt with its unique asymmetrical detailing and would have purchased it when I saw it on sale but unfortunately they were sold out in my size. I will be on the hunt for a similar skirt all winter, I just know it!
What pieces are you loving at the moment? Are you missing summer fashion or like me are you longing for colder days when you can snuggle up in chic winter attire?

April/May Wishlist


It's been a long month with very little money thanks to bills but finally pay day is here again! This month I want to try and buy a couple of things I couldn't purchase last month due to lack of funds, as well as a few new things I've found since then. 
Harlem Paper Bag Shorts - Dotti
I admit I have become a little addicted to shorts despite the fact the weather is getting colder every day. It's really hard to find nice shorts that suit anyone that isn't model thin and even harder to find shorts that a) aren't denim and b) aren't super tight. I love these baggy shorts and I really, really hope I manage to purchase a pair during this coming month.
Metal Point Collar White Blouse - ROMWE
As always, I am continuing my search for a basic white blouse and this one from ROMWE still tops my list of candidates. I would honestly love to find one that wasn't sheer or chiffon but it seems to be impossible these days! The simple collar embellishments on this blouse are also really cute.
Penny Panel Knit Dress - Dotti
This simple black knit dress will be great to layer over cute tights and a chic blazer or leather jacket for work and casual wear this winter. Now I just have to decide between basic black (something I severely lack in dresses) or aubergine.
Glam Spiked Necklace - Diva
I have been looking at necklaces similar to this one for a while and would love to get my hands on one this month. I'm a little bit undecided however on whether to buy gold or silver... or both!
Before I leave this post I just want to quickly apologise for my absence from this blog and assure you that I do have an explanation (as well as a few new blog posts) coming in the very near future. Until then I beg you to please be patient with me! It won't be long now, I promise. 
xoxo
