Blaze(r) of Glory!

Well my sister and I had planned to have a quiet weekend and go to watch Anchorman 2... This plan ended up going to pots! We then decided to go for casual drinks in the Northern Quarter in Manchester... I'm not so good with casual drinks, once I'm out I always want to stay out! Anyway I've been paying for it today, was a good night though!

Outfit:

Blazer: H&M
High Waist Jeans: Missbehaver.com
White Crop Top: Missbehaver.com
Cut Out Shoes: Topshop
Necklace: Zara
Patent Clutch Bag: H&M

I love a good blazer, I recently counted how many I actually own (yes I was very bored) and found that I have ten... Whilst it's still chilly I'll definitely be making good use of them to throw over any evening attire. This blazer is a H&M one and has a boyish charm to it - I love it. I styled it with my high waisted skinny jeans from my work, Missbehaver, which are another current wardrobe favourite of mine at the moment due to the chilly weather. You can't see the top very clearly in the picture above but it's a cream crop top also from Missbehaver. I kept my clothing simple so I could wear a statement necklace from Zara, bought in the sale for the bargainous price of £12.99! 

I also wanted to take a picture of my sister Kate's outfit but she wouldn't let me! She wore a really cute ditsy pinafore dress from Urban Outfitters over a white roll sleeve tee and a beaded necklace from H&M. 

New Year!

What another great New Years Eve had! I definitely entered 2014 a little on the drunk side though... 

I had been saving my silk dress bought for a tenner on Ebay (brand new with tags and originally from Warehouse) for a special occasion and what could be a better occasion than celebrating the New Year and also celebrating a good friend's engagement (see above)!!
I teamed the dress with some gold peep toe shoes and a charity shop cream bag. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the back of the dress which actually features intricate woven detailing as well as a cheeky little bit of bare back to show off, ah well, guess I'll just have to wear it again soon eh?! xxx

Merry Christmas!

So I don't have many family photographs, so I thought I would get one today of the family all together - and here it is! Can't wait to get it framed :) 

A pair of Missbehavers!

After a very very busy week @ Missbehaver HQ myself, my colleague (and good friend) Jenny and our lovely boss John went for a few drinks and a meal at The Living Room in Manchester. 
John treated us to lots of cocktails during our meal - I would definitely recommend the Strawberry Daquiri and the Passionfruit Bellini, then Jenny and I decided to go out partying after!

Starting off as we mean to go on!

My Outfit:

Coat: Mango
Cami Lace Dress: Oh my Love @ Asos
Necklace: Forever 21
Shoes: Miss Selfridge

Again, as per usual my outfit was a bit of a last minute thrown together kinda look that all seemed to work well! I particularly love statement jewellery this month - take a look at my previous recent outfit posts for evidence! The lace dress was bought earlier that week (I just can't resist a good 20% discount offer at Asos), it features cami straps and a low back and is absolutely perfect for someone lucky enough to be my height (5'2")!

Jenny and I drinking delicious zombie cocktails in Hula Tiki Lounge - possibly one of the most fun bars in Manchester, where they set the cocktails on fire - amazing!

OOTN: Remember, remember the month of December

It's not too early now to start getting excited for Christmas and the gifts that Santa will be bringing us in 23 days time! I started off the month of December by visiting the Manchester Christmas Markets - yes I am one of those people who refuses to visit them till we are officially in the month of December, just to feel that bit more festive! 

I am a huge fan of the Christmas Markets, the atmosphere is always buzzing and vibrant and fully of fellow festive faces! Plus there's nothing better than tucking into some coconut macaroons and a mug of mulled wine!

I am a big fan of the ongoing tartan trend at the moment so I decided to wear my green tartan skater dress from Missbehaver along with my old faithful leather jacket and leather ankle boots. I also threw on a woolly hat to keep my head nice and warm!

Outfit:

Leather Jacket: ASOS
Tartan Dress: Missbehaver.com
Bag: Topshop
Boots: Office
Hat: New Look
Necklace: H&M

Let's get playful!

I love playsuits of all varieties, they look good dressed up or down and this version from Forever 21 makes no exception to the rule!
I love it because it looks good with crops thrown underneath and features a silky-like finish and is just the right length for someone my height (5'2).

I was feeling a bit Christmassy (I know, I know it's not even December yet) so teamed it with my sparkly black crop top bought from a charity shop several years ago, my lovely Chelsea boots from Office (the perfect heel for the daytime) and a silver spiky necklace from H&M.

November Rain

This was one of those last minute outfits I put together, I've been opting for warmer colours recently as it's that time of year when they look good! I had planned to wear a playsuit from Urban Outfitters however I didn't like how it looked on! 

I had a last minute rummage through my drawers and wardrobes (note the use of plurals haha) and came across this skirt, which I'd only ever wore in the daytime. I am a huge fan of florals and love this particular style from Missbehaver.com as it's quite trans seasonal. The corset crop top is a recent purchase of mine from H&M and I'd been looking forward to wearing it for a while but wasn't sure what with. 

It was nippy outside last night so I threw some tights on and my old faithful leather jacket - perfect for those chilly nights in town!

P.S. Ignore the kitchen roll on the floor - I had just spilt some of my cocktail there... Oops!
