Granada

O U T F I T

Top: Pull and Bear, Shorts: Topshop, Bag: Asos, Sandals: Pennys, Sunglasses: Asos. 

This was my first day in Nicaragua and I was so happy to be there I decided to do a really quick outfit shot before we left to explore. This was actually taken in the hotel we were staying at, Hotel Bocona, which is a weirdly serene and calming place in comparison to hustle and bustle right outside the door. 

My t-shirt is Pull and Bear and my shorts are Topshop, which I picked up the in the sale before I left for ten euro! I love the pastel colour, which is a bit of a departure for me, and the pockets and panelling on the front are nice and flattering. My bag and sunglasses are Asos and my sandals are Pennys. I've actually had these sandals for a couple of years and this is my first time wearing them. They're the kind of purchase I carted around in my suitcase time after time and just never came across the right outfit to pair them with.

I'm still loving my time here in Granada and will definitely post more soon.

Travel Style

O U T F I T

Top: Pull and Bear, Blazer: Topshop, Pants: Pull and Bear, Bag: Pull and Bear, Shoes: Topshop, Hat: Pull and Bear, Sunglasses: Asos. 

I am currently writing this blog from an Island in Nicaragua called Big Corn, hence my much too long absence from the blog world. I'm here for a family holiday and have loved my time so far. Since arriving about a week and a half ago I have been filling my days with food, sun and SCUBA diving, I just received my certificate the other day, woohoo!

Anyway, while making the long trek to my first Caribbean experience, I had an overnight layover in Houston, Texas and took the opportunity to do a little 'Travel Style' blog. Most of what I'm wearing is Pull and Bear and I was so excited to wear these pyjama style pants that I mentioned in a previous blog. They're a subtle black version of the usual patterned style, which I like, but have beading down the side, which I love.

My t-shirt, bag, and hat are all also Pull and Bear and were easy options for a comfy, yet practical, travel look. I will always carry a large bag when travelling; it amazes me how quickly it can fill up with all of my flying necessities. My blazer and flats are Topshop, although I do make sure to have a pair of socks in my handbag and ditch the shoes as soon as I board. My sunglasses are Asos and I warn you now, this will not be the last you see of them.

More holiday blogs are soon to follow as well as a photo diary of my time here.

Just Purchased

I just received these babies in my door from Topshop and although I know it is far away from sandal season, I just know I am going to get numerous wears from this purchase and could not let them slip through my fingers. I have been looking for the perfect black flat sandals forever and now that I have found them my attention has turned to finding the perfect black strappy heels - let the shoe addiction continue to conquer. 

I'll let you know how I get on,and I will be looking to more places than Topshop. I swear if this blog has taught me anything it's that I have an unhealthy obsession with Topshop. I don't know what it is about their online store but they just get it right all the time, I’m going to try and be more open minded when it comes to buying, not really sure why but it just seems like the diplomatic thing to do.

Leather And Stripes

O U T F I T

Top: Vero Moda, Jacket: Miss Selfridge, Skirt: Topshop, Clutch: Topshop, Shoes: Zara, Necklace: Topshop. 

Although it's always kind of sad when the festive period comes to an end, I have to say, I am grateful for it to be over. Working in retail robs you of any time to sit back and be merry over Christmas. I have never been so busy! I can finally get back to normality and above all regular blog updates!

I am obsessed with this leather envelope clutch. I have been looking for one this texture and shape for a long time so when I saw it on the Topshop website I had to add it to my Christmas list straight away. It goes with everything and is so versatile I love adding a clutch like this to any daytime outfit to mix it up a little.

I have also been on the lookout for a midi skirt for a while so when I stumbled upon this one it too was quick on my list. Although I must admit I was between this one and the jersey version and I'm not sure I made the right choice. Only because this one seems to stretch quite a bit and I would prefer it to be more fitted. Oh well, can't win 'em all. You can learn from my mistakes and get the jersey skirt or if you like you can still get the other one here. My necklace is also from Topshop and was a great find in the sales.

I got this top while I was in Liverpool a while ago and it is definitely a fave of mine. I have yet to find one that is as good of a fit as this one. A simple stripped top like this is an essential. I have no idea why anybody wouldn't have one. They go with everything, are flattering and just an all round good decision.

This leather jacket is also an oldie but a goodie, I have it about a year and a half and it is still my all time favourite leather jacket, and I have a lot. It's from Miss Selfridge which I don't hear about too often but you can always find really nice pieces online.

Currently Coveting

I have such an obsession with skirts lately, I think they are definitely having a moment and after years of the maxi ruling our wardrobes it's a welcome change for me. I'm also loving this trend that's happening lately with jumpers being worn over mini-skirts and can't wait to give it a try. 

I think I'm going to wear these pieces together but they are each so versatile it won’t be hard to integrate them with my current items to create a whole new look. The jumper is intriguing because it has a shine to it which I like, and it brings something new to an otherwise generic knit. Both of them are (of course) from Topshop, I have been coveting them for a long time and they are for sure my next payday purchase. 

With the New Year I’m really set on trying out new trends that I may have been hesitant towards before. One being the pyjama pant, I have found a black pair in Pull and Bear that is slowly winning my heart. Hmm... stay tuned.
