Bye Bye Guess Shorts!

No, I am not selling or giving away my favourite shorts - no need to worry! This is the last addition to the Guess Series on my blog. With Summer coming to an end, especially here in the UK with the Autumnal weather well on its way, I thought I would add one more outfit to the collection!







I paired the shorts with this cute crop top that I got from republic a few years ago, my New Backpack and my 'Birkenstocks' look-a-like sandals to give a relaxed, effortless feel to this outfit! I can't forget the sunglasses from Urban Outfitters which always complete any of my Summer outfits!

This outfit has been recurring this Summer for me as it's so easy and the accessorizing is very minimal making this look easy to dress up or down. I hope you enjoyed the Guess Series, let me know which outfit was your favourite (I'll link them all below) and thank you for reading!

Spanish Nights...

Oh how I adore those warm Spanish evenings where you don't need to worry about taking a jacket or a pair of tights "just in case". You can pop on a dress, shoes and some sunglasses and head out for a lovely cocktail and dinner.

Near the villa there is a steak house called Patagonia Steak House and oh my. The steak there is surely the best steak I've ever consumed. You know when something is so good that you get emotional and want to cry? That was one of those times. I won't blabber on about it since this isn't a 'steak review blog' :P

On that night I originally wanted to wear my white babydoll shift dress from, ASOS. However, due to a chocolate chip cookie incident I had to change to this mint green number from H&M - which I love nonetheless!

It's simplicity makes it so elegant but the style still keeps it youthful,  not forgetting the back detailing adding a sense of sensuality to the look.

To excentuate my waist I added a cut out brown faux leather belt from H&M which I feel adds more dimension to the dress. My shoes of choice were of course from River Island which added to the youthfulness and my black, oversized sunglasses are from Urban Outfitters which I find extremely chic and they topped off the outfit!

The Playsuit's Debut!

So, I bought this playsuit a few weeks ago now from Missguided after months of eyeing it up! The time finally came and when I ripped open the parcel I was grinning with delight. A few days after I received the item, I decided to debut it on a trip to one of the most beautiful places I've seen; Oxford University.


I've decided to make this post a mixture of lifestyle and an OOTD so here it is! In case you didn't know, Oxford University is one of top universities in Britain (alongside Cambridge) and probably one of the best in the world. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the place on an Open Day and it was very memorable indeed.


I won't bore you with where we went and what we saw and everything, but I will share with you some pictures of some of the colleges and buildings there as they are breathtaking!

                                            






Back to the playsuit:P I personally adore playsuits as they're extremely comfortable and the designs are always very pretty and lovely. This one is the best I've seen since I've been looking as the structure of it makes it more appropriate to wear in the day and evening, as well as the fact that it isn't something that you can only wear on the beach. I find it very flattering as the structure of the shoulders and the lower hip balance each other out, making you look perfectly proportioned!


The pattern is beautiful and I know that I'll get SO much wear out of this! On this particular day I decided to accessorize in a minimal way, with a simple silver necklace and two silver and pearl bracelets to tie the look together. I went for minimal accessorizing as the pattern of the playsuit makes such a statement by itself! I chose to wear these nude pumps but that was a HUGE mistake as I got awful blisters from them and I was sadly in pain for the afternoon.


                                    Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters. Necklace - Dorothy Perkins.


                Bag - Accessorize. Nail Polish - Hip Rose by Barry M.  Bracelet (pearl) - notonthehighstreet.com


                                                              Shoes - New Look

Nevertheless I still had a wonderful day and I will never forget it (cheesy but true). Have any of you visited Oxford?

December Day Out!

Happy December everybody! I woke up extremely tired but also extremely excited to open my advent calendar!

I adore this, I mean there's a tree with a hat on it, what more do you want?!

Cheesy selfie:P 

I didn't wear any make up today because I ran out of concealer and I wanted to give my skin some relief as I was having quite a good skin day and I'd been wearing make up all week. I wish I had some concealer to put under my eyes to make me look slightly more awake which is what I'd usually do on an every day basis.

I decided to wear my Christmas pudding hat because it's now December and I thought I'd get in the festive spirit! I also wore my pink 'snood'/infinity scarf from H&M.



I apologize for my braces, fortunately they are coming off in 2 weeks! For my top I wore a plain, sheer, collared shirt from H&M paired with my favourite jumper of the moment from H&M.


I wore my black skinny jeans which are from Primark with my very lovely Chelsea style wellies from River Island. To give the outfit a little feminine touch, I wore my frilly Topshop socks which are very sweet and add a girly element to an outfit.




For jewelry I wore this really pretty key necklace that's really old actually and I have no idea where it came from unfortunately. But I think it's quite simple and just adds a little sparkle to a simple Wintery outfit.

Cute, Comfy, Cosy Pajamas!

There's nothing I love more about Winter than snuggling up in a cosy pair of pajamas! It's that time of year where we swap our short, cheeky pajamas and opt for long, soft ones!

Personally, I love polka dots or tartan patterns for this time of year. Polka-dots are very 1950's, therefore are so sweet and look great on everyone when they're a long sleeve, button-up PJ shirt and long, soft trousers.



These pajamas are slightly more expensive as the percentage of cotton used in them is higher than what you'd get from inexpensive items. These are both very sweet styles, if you want an iconic t-shirt paired with sweet bottoms then the second one is best for you. If you want the "whole hog" then the first one is adorable and looks extremely comfortable! 


I adore this onezie from New Look and I want to get my hands on this! This must be a really snug item to wear in Winter in front of the fire, and talk endlessly about your excitement for Christmas :P This is only £15.99 and of course, if you don't have a New Look nearby, there's always tons of shops selling cute onezies like this!


Tartan is so pretty and is available in so many varieties of colors! You can wear this pattern as a set, a shirt and trousers, or you can just wear a basic t-shirt with the bottoms!


I'd also like to add that the patterned jersey pajamas are very pretty and really comfortable, you can wear them all day for a 'lazy day'! Available in so many different patterns and colors! Very cosy!

A good old trip to the Seaside!

Langland

 How cute! Little beach huts, although not quite as glamorous as Brighton;)

On Saturday, as a family we decided to take a trip to a beach called Langland about 45 minutes away from us. Of course, here in the UK it's not quite the beach weather we'd all love to have.

You must be thinking, 'what's the point going to a beach without the weather?' Well, we didn't exactly go for the sand and sea, but the fact that there was a lovely walk along the clifftops where you could see the sun bounce off the surface of the sea and below your feet you can hear the crashing of small waves against the rocks.




It was a lovely brisk walk as it wasn't too hot or too chilly and the view was lovely, although there were a lot of clouds in the sky, haha.

Winter's nearing, the branches are bald :O

Although there was not much sun, the beach still looked lovely!

I wore my new skirt from H&M which is one of my favourite purchases, paired with a plain royal blue crop top (a bargain from Primark) and I accessorized very minimally with a simple denim jacket and my royal blue Vans for the walking!

Mumbles


On our way back, we had a cheeky stop in Mumbles where we had an even cheekier Joe's Ice Cream! This is amazing. That's all I have to say.


The classic North Pole, yummy!
