What I wore today - camouflage and Hero and Cape

Most of the snow has now fizzled away so it's back to usual attire, i'm still keeping it comfy in my camo joggers though - even if they are a little scruffy. Just a quick one this morning as i'm currently sat at my desk in work, the insurance world has been quite busy the last few weeks due to the bad weather claims. I'm hoping to get motivated this week and get myself back in the gym, i've been too lazy this month and need to man up. On a brighter note I got an absolute bargain yesterday in H&M, and in Primark they had shoes for £1 - crazy i know, it's definitely worth a look! I've got a little treat coming up for you lovelies soon, hope you have a fabulous day.

The Monday Piece - snow!

This weeks Monday Piece is on...the snow!! Love it or loathe it, i'm sure most of you have had it, it is Winter after all. So I thought it would be appropriate to do a snowy picture post! I bought this jumper on Saturday at the bloggers meet up day in Birmingham, though I owe full credit to Sophie who helped me pick it as I was all a bit flustered in Zara (story of my life), I really like the back detail though it does mean you can see more of my bottom than i'd like - my Mum always says my siblings and I have 'proper' bottoms, whatever that means! The meet up was such a fab day and was so interesting getting to meet other bloggers etc. so a good day overall - thank you to all the girls who worked tirelessly organising it and all the PR companies who supplied us with the most unbeliveable goodies! Sunday was spent tucked up out of the cold, feeling much better and recovering from my ear infection - thank you for all your get well messages :). Hope you had a great weekend!

What I wore today - Zara grey boyfriend blazer and chiffon top

At silly o'clock this morning the weather was like this, with a few snow flakes falling, by 9am all you could see was snow!! The weather changes so quickly and is massively unpredictable, so after a quick outfit change and snow boots on I went to work -  the snow then got crazy so we were all let home for a snow day, hooray! I've been poorly the last few days with a painful ear infection, so an afternoon at home today should do me good. It was my mums birthday yesterday so we had a family party last night, we had homemade soup and champagne - a perfect combination for a chilly January evening. Happy Friday, keep warm :)

What I wore today - Primark leather sleeved safari jacket and Zara tunic

I've not worn this little coat in ages, I tend to wear things a few times then they often get pushed to the back of a cupbaord unintentionally, but i'm pleased i've rediscovered it as it's so versatile. These shoes are very worn down now as they've been worn to death, i'm on the prowl for a studded pair next...I went and did a little window shopping at the weekend, it's exciting to see the new trends emerging for Spring. There was still a fair bit of nice stuff left in the sale too, i've ordered a few transition bits online that i'm waiting to be delivered - i much prefer to shop instore though so i can try things on properly and get a good feel of the item before i commit to buying, there's nothing worse than the anticipation of an online delivery that turns out to be rubbish quality and poor fitting - hoping the one i'm expecting will be ok! We had the teeniest dusting of snow on Monday Morning, but sadly the rain that came immediately after destroyed it, no snowman building for me, i do love the snow and getting wrapped up in cosy jumpers and going for wintery walks, so fingers crossed we get more.
I hope you've had a good week so far, i'm working today but planning on a good blog stalking session later, i can't get enough of everyones cute pictures in the snow, jealous much...!

What I wore today - Office edgy buckle shoes

I posted a little snap of my new shoes on Twitter a few days ago, i do love a new pair of shoes and these certainly don't disappoint. They were an absolute steal from the Office sale, sadly they are now sold out but i couldn't resist their quirkiness. It's been a long old week at work as this is usually a busy month for us so i'm ready for the weekend, the weatherman even said it might snow which makes it even more exciting as we've not had any in Worcester this Winter. I'm wearing my beanie hats to death at the moment, they're so snug and keep my hair from going crazy in the wind, this one was under £3.00 from eBay and a UK seller too so delivery is quick, here is the link if you'd like one. I've worn this studded shirt quite a bit recently, it's an easy throw on that looks good with most things without having to make a massive effort, and it's cream and gold - two of my favourite colours! I'm really looking forward to next seasons clothes, lots of colours, neons and summery things - black and grey is far too addictive during winter. I'm sure you've all got that Friday Felling like i have - have a good one :)

What I wore today - Aztec print jeans

Snuggly jumpers are my saviours during miserable winter months, this ones been worn before but is a firm favourite. White jeans are a bit of a risk but i love how they look with the slate grey colour of the jumper. I can't believe it's only Wednesday, feels like it should definitely be the end of the week but oh well. How cute is my new necklace, its so dainty and has 2 little hearts attached - even better that it was only £1.50! Bargain. I went for lunch yesterday with a friend which was yummy, luckily i've found a nice cafe in town that serves lots of food suitable for coeliacs and it is so delicious too - so i've been there quite a bit recently. On another note i've been loving the Philip Kingsley elasticizer pre shampoo treatment on my hair, i'm quite fussy with hair products and won't use much on it unless i've done a bit of research, but the elasticizer makes it really silky and feels lovely and strong too. My garden floor is so dirty and soggy from the rain, sorry folks, will have to find somewhere 'nicer' to take my snaps :).

What I wore today - Topshop military coat

This could not be a more boring outfit...coat, top, trousers and shoes...but it's Sunday so it's all good in the hood! I really need to go into town today but I've got no energy or motivation, I'm thinking I'll cook some eggs and bacon then reassess the situation - I can always rely on fried meat to make things a little clearer! I don't think I've shown this coat before, it's quite an easy one to chuck over anything, it is so heavy though as its all wool, but I love the military style of it and the details on the buttons - although it's hard to see it also has leather bits on the underneath of the collar and on the pockets which is nice. I'm still fussy about my pictures being taken outside, but the light inside the house is just rubbish, even my stepdad said he didn't like the photos by the garden fence! How rude! Enjoy Sunday whatever you're up to :) .

What I wore today - silky Zara tartan shirt

It's Friday people, I don't even know why i'm so tired as i've only worked 3 full days this week! After the festivities i'm definitely missing the constant supply of food and drink, i get so greedy this time of year. However i am trying to eat a bit more healthily, i had natural yoghurt for breakfast every day this week, it's pretty yuk to be fair so not sure how long it'll last. I got this shirt from Zara just after christmas, it's so silky and soft so the draping and fit is really nice - it's rare i wear tight things on my top half, i've got broad-ish shoulders so tight tops don't look that great, it's a good job there's lots of loose fitting/oversized clothes about otherwise i'd be stuck. Actually i really want a plain white oversized t-shirt dress, so would love to hear if you have any recommendations. So Christmas is most definitely over, we're taking down the decoartions in work today, also i went to Costa yesterday to get a salted caramel latte and had a mini breakdown discovering the seasonal menu is now finished...nightmare. There's a few new bits i'll be hoping to post about soon, so hope you'll pop back!

What I wore today - Topshop jewel studded jumper and Zara spiked loafers

Happy New Year to you all! I'm not hugely into new year so NYE was lovely and quiet spent at home with champagne and a roast dinner. Yesterday we went on a long walk up and across the Malvern Hills - it was so cold and windy, i underestimated how muddy it would be so wore my biker boots...wrong decision, it's going to take me an age to clean them! So this is my first post of 2013, exciting. I rarely buy from Topshop anymore as there's other high street stores i favour before them, in my local store they stock a load of 'basics' like plain t-shirts and vests, and then lots of jeans that i just don't wear. So it's not often i even go in, however i had a voucher to spend and had a nice surprise when i went in last week as there was lots of embellished knitwear, prints and other pretty things - i picked this jumper up in the sale, the embellishment on the front is more like little jewels inside studs but it's hard to see in the pictures. My new satchel bag was a prize from the fantastic Laura (thank you), and the shoes i got from Zara - i love a good loafer!
Hoping you all have a great start to 2013 :) .

The Monday Piece - The Varsity jacket

The Monday Piece this week is on Varsity jackets! I love varsity jackets and that American high school kind of 'look'. I was a cheerleader captain in University and the American Football lads had the coolest jackets, though they were custom made and came from the States and cost a small fortune - i did ponder taking one from the changing rooms but felt too naughty so didn't! Anyway, i've loved them ever since and have recently been on the hunt for the right jacket with the right colours that wasn't ridiculously priced. SO pleased i found this one, it's a boys but i got the smallest size and think it fits ok, there's plenty of room to get a chunky jumper underneath too. I was tempted to try it on with my old cheer kit and take some photos but i though that might be a bit too much, my old kits royal blue and white - it's amazing, i might take one for twitter and post it on there! The body of the jacket is thick wool, and the sleeves are faux leather, the colours and style are quite traditional which i love, i'm pleased i went for this as opposed to the standard black and white version. Are you a fan of Varsity jackets?
Have a great New Year however you celebrate, i'm hoping to have a quiet one with champagne and food!

What I wore today - Zara duvet coat

It is so cold and wet it's only appropriate to wear a super warm coat at the moment - I know these duvet style coats aren't everyone's cup of tea but I love them and I'd wanted one for ages so was made up when I found this one in Zara on boxing day. It's got goose feathers inside so literally feels like a warm blanket around me when I put it on, the colour is kind of a champagne and as I wear a lot of grey and neutral colours I thought this colour woud be better as opposed to black. I spent the day with my sister yesterday in Malvern, going for lunch and then some drinks, but other than that ive spent mst my time at home watching Lord of the Rings and filling up on tasty holiday food! I'm off out for the day now and am already running late so better dash, hope you've had a great weekend :)
