Just Purchased

Dress: Topshop

I just purchased this navy satin number from Topshop, I love the classic Audrey Hepburn silhouette and I have been scouring the shops for a graduation dress for weeks and I finally found the one. I plan on keeping the accessories to a minimum and some nude heels. I think it will come in handy for the Christmas season too. What do you think?

Tank: Asos, Jumper: Pull and Bear, Jacket: Miss Selfridge, Skort, Necklace, Bag & Heels: Zara.

Today marked my first day back to College after a whole year off and it feels so good to be back. When I first found out I had to take some time off I really thought it was the worst thing that could possibly happen, but now it feels like it was the best thing! I'm so eager to get started again and can't wait to give my final year everything. 

Along with being a full-time student, I will be balancing two part-time jobs; my internship with RSVP Magazine as well as continue to work for Pull and Bear at the weekends. It's going to be pretty full-on, and I know I tend to let my blog posts slip when I get busy but I really want to be as consistent as possible. It's going to be a lot but I will be so proud of myself if I can manage to balance it all. At the end of the day, all of this is working towards my end goal of being a fashion journalist so the chaos will be so worth it.  

It's starting to get a little cooler these days and I'm enjoying the layering opportunities. I like how the slight edge to this outfit is toned down with a dressy necklace and lady-like handbag. Also, how fab is this background pattern? Love it.

Jump

O U T F I T

Jumpsuit: Topshop,Shoes & Belt: Zara, Blazer: H&M,Bag: A-Wear

I know I know, I fell behind AGAIN on my blog posts, will I ever change? At this point it doesn't look like it; you'll just have to accept me for the lazy bi-otch that I am. 

Anyway, I've had this jumpsuit for ages and have been dying to get it on the blog. I have gotten countless wears out of it over the summer, the lightweight silk is so comfortable and it can easily transition from day to night. 

These are my most recent heel purchase from Zara and I love them. I put them off for some time as I wasn't too keen on the strap of leather at the front. I had wanted lace up heels for a long time and envisioned a complete tie up lace, but after lots of pondering back and forth I chose to look over the small flaw and I'm glad I did. 

The last picture is a little odd compared to the others, I just feel my posts can sometimes look so serious and usually my favourite pictures are the in-between shots that look so much more natural.

Shades Of White

O U T F I T 

Tank, Skort, Coat & Shoes: Zara, Bag: Pull and Bear

I love this jacket, I really love it. I loved it when I saw it online and loved it even more when I found it in-store and I think I'm going to continue to love it for the foreseeable future. It's perfect for the transitional weather we're experiencing at the moment and I can't wait for the layering opportunities in the future. 

I have noticed that almost everything I am purchasing lately is some shade of white, not the most practical but I'm enjoying the faze. I know this skort is so completely over-done and everyone is wearing them, it was almost reason enough for me to pass when I saw that it had finally come back in stock online, but in the end I decided to go for it. I don't regret it either because it's such a summer staple and it has so many styling opportunities. I'm excited to wear it dressed down with layers and a pair of converse.

Old Faithful

O U T F I T

Tank, Shoes & Bag: Zara, Blazer: Topshop, Pants: River Island

Whenever I'm in a hurry or struggling to find an outfit to wear for a night out, I turn to my old faithful ensemble of leather pants, loose top, blazer, and heels. Not the most fashion forward outfit but everyone needs a failsafe ensemble that they feel good in for the desperate moments of not having anything to wear.  To spice it up a little I added my favourite little white bag. 

These shoes are my latest heel purchase from Zara and I have been wearing them at every opportunity since. They're refreshingly comfortable in comparison to my other heels of similar style.

Roar

O U T F I T

Jumper: Pull and Bear, Skirt: River Island, Shoes & Bag: Asos.  

It seems that I am determined to begin every blog post with apologies and excuses. I have not posted in what seems like forever but I am steadfast about being more consistent with my updates.

I know this look will be a bit of a divider and not everyone will get it, but it is one of my faves. I picked up this jumper in the Pull and Bear sale, I had ignored it for a long time when suddenly I looked at it with fresh eyes and a styling opportunity arose that I couldn't pass up. I love how the heaviness of the outfit is balanced by the minimalistic shoe. This kind of strappy shoe is all I'm about lately, I love how the continuous cycle of fashion can make you adapt so easily to a style that last year would never have been an option. 

This bag is the one that I had previously blogged, and it has been a great addition to my collection. I adore the metallic finish and it is so versatile, definitely a good buy. 

You may have noticed that the blog has gotten a bit of a face lift, I never want to stop improving and I felt like it was the right time to up my game a little. I love the finished product and the simplistic nature overall. I especially love my new social icons, I now have an Instagram for the blog so you don't get inundated with pictures of my Goddaughter. I'd love to know what you think of the update.

Just Purchased - Sale

Top: Topshop, Bag: Zara.

I have been searching for a great red bag forever, I was always so envious when I saw a blog post with a fab red bag and now I have this baby on its way to me. I was so excited when I took a look through my old Topshop 'saved for later' items and found this pearl peplum top for 60% off. Yay!

There is nothing I love more than finding a fashion bargain. Over the years I have learned to restrain my sale spending, after too many impulse purchases I was left with a lot of items that don't nearly get their cost per wear. 

Remember - a bargain is only a bargain if you love it!

Blue Swede Sandals

O U T F I T

Tank: Asos, Jeans & Sandals: Zara, Bag: A-Wear, Necklace: Topshop, Watch: Fossil.

I have been absent from the blog for far more longer than I'm comfortable with. When other aspects of my life get hectic, it's so hard to find time for my precious blog. But I can't let it go that long again, I miss it too much!

I was running around the other day and just wanted to be comfortable so I went for my gorge new Zara sandals and a simple tank. I'm shocked that I haven't blogged this bag before. I was on the hunt for a great black satchel for ages and almost bought an expensive one from Topshop that I didn't even really love, but then I saw a woman wearing this beauty and had to ask where she got it. I was so surprised when she said A-Wear it looks so expensive and has the same great chevron detailing on the back too. 

I'll be back soon, thanks for reading.

New Day

O U T F I T

Tank: Asos, Skirt: TNFC at Asos, Blazer: H&M, Bag & Shoes: Zara, Necklace: Topshop.

This is my first post since I upgraded my blog photos with my new Lumix GF5. I couldn't be happier with my latest purchase and it has definitely been a long time coming. My iPhone camera skills were sufficient in the beginning but I began to crave more from my outfit posts, and was ready trade in the grainy results. 

I chose this particular model because it is known to be 'beginner friendly'. I'm not proud to say that I am certainly a beginner, seen as I have studied Journalism for three years and have had countless photography classes; I'm now kicking myself that I didn't pay more attention. Oh well, maybe now that I have a real interest I can learn more myself. 

I adore this outfit, I have been keeping an eye out for a flared skirt like this ever since I stumbled upon this gorge Miu Miu on Pinterest that was way out of my price range. I just about died when I found an almost identical one on Asos shortly after. Speaking of bargains I was so excited when I purchased this Zara bag, it's so pretty my heart can barely stand it. Soon after I noticed a very similar Alexander Wang version, am I on a role or what? 

You probably can't tell how in love I am with this outfit by my very grumpy face. I was concentrating so hard on the new camera that I totally forgot to smile! What can I say, I am a rooky.

Day Off

O U T F I T

Shirt & Bag: Pull and Bear, Pants: New Look, Shoes: River Island, Belt & Sunglasses: Asos

I shot this outfit a while back, I shot a different one too but I could never bring myself to post them. None of it seemed good enough anymore, I was no longer excited or inspired. I never want to stop progressing and improving, and so I decided some time ago that I needed to buy a sufficient camera. My iPhone has served me well but it just wasn't cutting it anymore. So, I did my research and started saving and the time as finally come. This is officially my last iPhone outfit post, hurrah! 

And just like that, I catch myself constantly thinking about my next post, how I can step outside of my comfort zone with new pieces or re-work some old ones. I cannot wait to start experimenting with photography, I think it can only enhance my outfit posts and the over-all Bonne Chance look.

Stay tuned...

Dress: Motel on Asos

One of my favourite things about Asos is that it introduces you to brands that you would otherwise never have thought of. I would never have considered checking out Motel for Spring pieces, but after stumbling upon this beauty I will in future. 

This print is a bit of a departure for me, but I love the dropped hemline and the fact that it is not a floral print. I mean, there is nothing ground breaking about floral’s for Spring. It is a little bit cutesie so I am planning on pairing it with a leather jacket and some booties. Come on pay day!

The Usual Suspects

O U T F I T

Jumper & Necklace : Topshop, Waistcoat & Shoes: Zara, Pants & Bag: River Island, Watch: Fossil

Once again I am behind on my blog posts but this time I really do have a genuine reason, College work. You can't be mad at me for wanting to do College work, right? Anyway here are my usual suspects, Topshop, River Island, and Zara. Predicable, guilty but you can never accuse me of not being loyal. 

This Zara waistcoat is my latest purchase and I'm head over heels in love. So versatile and it will be perfect once in starts heating up (here's hoping) and replace my usual blazers.  

I got this bag a long time ago in a sale and broke it on my first outing. Oh well, still useful for blogs, when I don't have to actually use the handle.
