Best Of The Best: My Favourite Co-Ords



Co-Ords are most definitely in and the above 4 are my favourite ones that I've seen around at the moment!


1. I really like the colour and the print on this first set. The blazer is very structured and the pushed up sleeves make it look more casual. I also love that the trousers are high waisted and are not full leg length too.

2. This pair to me is a bit more conservative because of it's boucle texture and colour but never-the-less I really like it. It's not one I think I'd be wearing out on a night out with the girls but it's still a really nice co-ord.

3. I love this Topshop set! Its playful, bright and fluro and I love the paisley print is has. It is perfect for the summer because of these reasons and has to be my favourite out of the four. I love the whole combination of high waisted shorts with a crop top.

4. I've been eyeing up this set on the Asos website for a while now and really wish I'd bought it whilst I made my last order with them... maybe next time. I love the tile print on it as it's quite simple and looks really light very wearable.


Do you like the look of any of these? Will you be trying out the co-ord trend for yourself?

OOTD: She's up all night 'till the sun


Peplum Vest Top- Primark
Tile Print Trousers- Primark
Boots- F&F, Tesco

Why am I in such a weird position in the first photo!? anndd I'm pulling a face, haha, must have been the sun in my eyes.
So today I wore my new Primark tile print trousers after posting about them in my New In Post on friday. They are sooo comfy! I paired it with a simple beige peplum vest top I bought a while back also from Primark just because it's so warm here and as the weather here's great today, it was inevitable that I would take these pictures outside. 
Today has definitely reminded me that I need summer shoes. I live in boots! They are definitely my go-to shoes for everything and they are sooo not suitable for warm weather. Need to get some heeled sandals or something, I'm not too keen on being bare foot in shoes without socks haha, ugh, just something about it makes me feel yucky and I just hate flip flops/sandals with the strap that goes in between your toes.
I'm going off to enjoy the rest of the sun whilst it lasts and help out with sorting out the garden sheds now. We have some of the family's old bikes and scooters and silly things we loved as kids to get rid of. The good 'ole days ey!

Hope there's nice weather where ever all of you are!

#4 New In: Primark & Miss Selfridge

Helllooooo!
I went SHOPPINGGGGG!



So yesterday me and my mum decided to hop on the train and head out shopping for the day in Cardiff, so I thought I'd show you some of what I got. As the title suggests I only really bought stuff from Primark and Miss Selfridge as I couldn't be bothered to wait most of the time in the queues for the changing rooms and then to pay and most of the things I liked didn't have my size anyway.




Primark Oversived T-shirts- Both £6

In all honesty I wasn't too sure about these when I first picked them up just because they are SO oversized and I'm so small. I got them in a size 6 and they are pretty much like really baggy dresses on me. The varsity trend is big at the moment though and these types of tops are everywhere so I thought I'd give them a go. I quite like oversized clothing for those days where you're not really in the mood for having to think about what to wear and just want something comfy so I know I will definitely wear them.


Primark Black & White Aztec Print Trouser
Primark Navy Tile Print Trouser With Side Stripe
Both £12

I'm really loving printed trousers (like everyone else) at the moment and one of my favourite pieces I've been wearing recently have been my Primark elephant print trousers that I featured in my last ootd post so when I saw these, I knew I had to have them too. They're lovely and soft, as well as cool and airy for those summer  days where it's not really hot enough and you don't really feel like wearing shorts. They are really lightweight and easy to wear and I can't wait to wear them.


Primark Neon Aztec Scarf & Primark Multi Skull Print Scarf- Both £4

I'm always wearing scarves and I loved the colours in both of these so for £4 I couldn't really say no. They are so simple and easy to wear, thin and lightweight and I love the print and design on the both of them.



Primark Multi Colour Print Top- 

I don't really know how to describe this top. I don't really think it's an 'aztec' type of print but similar and has lots of different sized triangles with individual prints on it. It has really cute gold buttons all down the back and is nice and lightweight. There were only 4 of these left on the rack and when I went through them none were my size but I got this regardless in a size 16 but it doesn't even look big on. Primark sizing can be really off sometimes! Nevertheless, I really like it anyway.



Miss Selfridge Lace Midi Skirt- £30, £15           Primark Large Clutch Bag With Strap- £8
                                                                       Miss Selfridge Ear Cuffs- £2 & £3

I bought the bag in Primark after trying for ages to find a bag big enough for my purse (it's one of those long rectangular ones that just doesn't fit in any clutch ever) but yet small enough to be a bag you can just pick up and go with it quickly. Well... this is it, it's a nice size to fit in just the essentials such as purse, phone, sunglasses, keys etc and has what I think is kind of a cowboy/western type pattern on.

I love all the floaty, boho type of pieces Miss Selfridge has and this skirt is so lovely on. The picture just does no do it justice. As for the Miss Selfridge ear cuffs... I bought my first ear cuff in Topshop at the begining of last ear and since then I cannot get enough of them. I think these ear cuffs are a great change to the normal long feathered earrings you see people wearing and these really suit my type of hairstyle as one of my ears is always on show. It's nice to be able add a little something to it now and then, especially when they only cost £2-£3!

I also bought a belt in Primark which I forgot to photograph and some pyjamas too!

Hope you've all had a nice day!

OOTD: Fire & Passion

 
 

Necklace- Dorothy Perkins
Silky Jogger Trousers- Primark
Heels- New Look

Hey Guys! So I was hoping to take some ootd photo's outside today but the sun decided it had enough yesterday and didn't fancy coming out again- it's been raining non-stop! So anyway... we went for a little trip to the Cardiff City Stadium shop to get some bits for my sister in their SALLLEEEE! We got a few bits and pieces for her as extra presents for her birthday that was a few days ago.

Pretty simple outfit consisting of my new favourite necklace that I bought for £7 a few days ago in the Dorothy Perkins sale and my favourite trousers at the moment from Primark. I love the silky feel, the laid back look and the adorable elephant print. I bought them a while back after I saw them and just had to have them. They are sooooo comfortable! Think the New Look shoes only cost £5 back around Christmas time too. Bargain!

For those of you in the UK, I hope you had a great bank holiday weekend and all of you enjoy the rest of the night. I'll be all cosy watching the Britain's Got Talent's Semi Finals. Yaay. Have a nice night!
