The cord skirt

Sometimes it's great to be simple and understated but still feel like you've made an effort but done it effortlessly, you know what I mean. I feel like the cord skirt combined with my fave suede jacket does the job. 

It can be casual yet chic and also dressed up. Outfits that can go from day to night are definitely the one on summer days out with no time to change or straight out after work.

Here's yesterday outfit (first picture) and today's outfit (pictures to follow), dressed for a lovely meal with the family, wearing the cord skirt a bit more dressed up.

                     Cami top: Topshop

                     Cord skirt: Topshop

                     Suede jacket: mango

                     Boots: Boohoo

                     Belt: Primark

Dressing the skirt up with an old time favourite pair of matalan shoes believe it or not. The fringe bag is from a boutique in Wales which is also an old time fave. Not forgetting a touch of Chanel No. 5, courtesy of my stylish Nan. Who is definitely a style icon.

Home sweet home

So I finished my years placement at boohoo on Friday! How quick that year has gone! I am so glad I got the opportunity to do a placement in fashion and gain that extra experience to put on my CV for final year/when I graduate. Its so scary to think in less that a year uni will all be over. Well as everyone says I need to make the most of it, and also buckle down and get the work done. I will be thanking family & friends in advance to those who are going to have to put up with me next year, whilst I'm trying to contain my stress levels!

For now I have the rest of summer to prep myself and chill! But also secure a part time job to help finance my wishful luxury lifestyle. Back to the 'living a champagne lifestyle on lemonade wages.' Most definitely going to miss my full time wage *sob*.

I have not long got back from the garden festival in Croatia, it was my second time and it was sadly the last one after 10 years running. It is hands down one of the best festivals to go to. It's a holiday and a festival in one, what more could you want! I feel like a chilled sunbathing holiday is in need before my return to uni though... hopefully.

At the moment I am currently at home for a few days, spending my time seeing family and home friends which is always lovely. I just wish the sun would come back out so I could get in the garden!

Outfit post to come soon from yesterday's attire for a lunch date with the boyfriend checking out the new yard & coop in Manchesters northern quarter, hands down the best chicken around! 

Check it out!

NYC! ❤️🇺🇸

 

  

Finally getting round to doing my New York post! Even if it's is 2 months late!

Well what a trip it was! It has got to be my favourite place! I would love to live there! Or atleast go again for much longer, but it's definitely a place to save for before you go! It isn't cheap but you have THE best time there, such an amazing city and chic/cool way of living.

There was so much to see and do. I feel like we did everything we wanted to do, in terms of touristy stuff and places we wanted to visit. You definitely wouldn't run out of things to do in New York!

A few of my highlights were going up to top of the rock at the Rockefeller centre, going to a Knicks game at Madison square garden, walking along the Williamsburg bridge into Brooklyn and biking around Central Park! Such incredible views and memories! Not forgetting brunching every day! Can't beat it! I miss it so much, me and my boyfriend are already considering our next holiday there! Potentially in summer!

I have made a list of all the things we did and saw and have kept some memorabilia's and souvenirs, so I'm hopefully going to make a scrap book at some point.

Here are just some of my favourite NY pics! My album was more than 200! Snap happy tourist or what!

Take me back! xo

Hello June

It's June! And I can't believe it! This year has gone so fast so far! Feels a like I was only in New York last week and that it was Christmas not long before! At least we are into summer now, even if the weather is all over the place. It's finally nice and sunny today! Praying it stays this way! Especially for tomorrow as I'm at a gig outside!

With all this summer day dreaming, I have lots of 'summer lovin' posts to enjoy. 

I have found this blog I absolutely love! It's called theyallhateus.com, I'm obsessed! It's like a daily fix! In the morning with breakfast and off to work! Great way to brighten up the mornings with some dreamy, lovely pics and model/fashion inspiration.

Enjoy! Xo
