New Look Shoe Sale Haul


I KNOW I say this every time a new pair of shoes comes in to my life, but seriously- I think I love them.
Nay, nay, I know it with certainty.
I have been lusting after a pair like this for a long, long time *which to me equates to roughly two weeks*- we live in an impatient society, what can I say?! 


Do you like them? You will even more when you see the price...

THAT'S RIGHT- if you're in to caging your feet up like a pair of dangerous animals, get yourself down to New Look pronto.
They're in the summer sale, but I think with tights you could rock them in the winter too.
Be warned though, if you are wide-footed like I, you will definitely need to go up a size.
I was trying some on in there and I couldn't wedge my foot in to anything smaller than an eight. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being an eight, but I'm not an eight. Their shoes run on the smaller side, is what I'm saying.

Not content with this one purchase, I had to go and treat myself to something else didn't I.
I've been looking for a pair of wedges for the longest time. I see cool girls pull them off and I've just either a) never found the right pair or b) never been cool enough to wear them.
Now, my cool factor definitely has not improved, so we'll put it down to finding the right pair.
And for £10, who can complain?



Did you pick up New Look sale?

Resolution- #YES to denim shorts


This is a big #Resolution for me. Namely because my thighs and I aren't on the best of terms.

Is it me, or have demin shorts got so small these days? The only people that can get away with most of those on offer on the high street are 11-year-old girls. (Who shouldn't be wearing them anyway, but that's a story for another day...)

High and low I have searched for a pair that don't create camel toe or flash my bits to unsuspecting passer's by.

Most are just a straight up: NO.

And to be honest, I thought I was never going to find an acceptable pair. Which, with a holiday and the summer coming up, made me a sad sausage :(

But lo and behold, in comes the boyfriend jeans trend and with it- these bad boys!

Yes, Yes indeed.
New Look- £14.99

At first I was sceptical about even trying these on. But I'm so glad I dared to!
If you have a similar problem to me (that problem being, you have meat on your thighs and not just bone...) then I can't recommend these enough.
They're just long enough, fit nicely, feel comfy. And I can think of 100 different ways to dress these up or down.
Thank heavens for tights because apart from my holiday, judging by the 'spring' we've had, I wouldn't be getting much opportunity to wear these otherwise!


So today's #Resolution is to crack these out. Dare to wear and say YES! And that applies to any item you've got your eye on/ have in your wardrobe but are too scared to wear. One day, you'll regret not trying. So make sure you don't have anything to regret!

Watch this space for plenty of OOTDs with these

OOTE- Make a Statement





Just a quickly put-together OOTE for you today. I am in love with this jacket, which you might have seen in a recent haul.
It was £11 from New Look, an absolute steal if you ask me (which you didn't...*awkws*)

I had a look on the New Look website to see if I could find a link for you, but it seems to be out of stock now :( They might still have a few hanging around in store, you never know.
I ummed and aaaahd over this jacket. I talked my self out of buying this one lunch break but when I slept on my decision, had a look at my wardrobe, I knew I'd made a mistake.
I practically raced back the next day and luckily there was still one left. A lesson learned, perhaps!

My wardrobe was missing a really versatile piece like this for a long time and I just couldn't afford something from Zara right now. I think this looks a lot more expensive than it was (maybe that comes across better in real life as opposed to my hash job blog post) but the material is lightweight so this is good for summer too, maybe the same outfit but with denim shorts? What do you think?

I'll just be pulling this all together with some simple black heels but on hotter days if I wanted to casual it up I'd go for sandals.

Jacket- New Look, £11
T-Shirt- Primark, £2.50
Bag- H &M, £7
Jeans- New Look, £14.99 (now £19.99) here
