Basic Boys

I'm all for dress down Sundays but this doesn't always mean staying in your pyjamas all day. Sometimes just sometimes you have to adventure outside for a few hours and the last thing you want to be doing is getting all dress up in a well thought out outfit. You want something easy to put on but still look acceptable. Walking around in your onsie may seem like a good idea at the time but trust me that look needs to stay at home. On days like this bovver boots, jeans and a jumper do it just right for me.

This look is Army inspired and can be very popular with the guys. Adrian is very fond of this look. Girl don't be afraid to dress down like the guys do. Be confident with what your wearing.

In other news I've just invested in a new Nikon Camera so in a few blogs time my picture will be better quality, I'm just still learning how to use it.

 

 

 

 

New Year New You

Week one of 2015 is up and that's one week into your new years resolutions. Have you kept at it, what ever it maybe? Keeping your car clean, not spending money on pointless nothingness, being happy and positive everyday, new diet or joining the gym, the list is endless.

Mine every year is the same. Staying focused on my health and fitness and be grateful for what I have.

If going to the gym is on your list then you need to be kitted out right. I love sports wear but can find it very expensive so I was over the moon when I found out Missguided and Boohoo had created their own lines for 2015. Stylish and affordable. Both lines have great textured patterns and are full of colour.

 

MISSGUIDED

 

 

The Missguided hasn't been released yet but sit tight. Its coming soon..

 

BOOHOO

 

 

The Boohoo line is out already and so much to choose from. I love the *Allyson oversized Jumper. The mesh and Jersey work well together and a great piece to warm up in. *The Dani Mesh Leggings are also another hit in my book not just for the design but also the high waist, extra comfort.

 

 

I would also check out H&M Sports wear. I have a lots from their collection. Its long lasting, comfortable and affordable. They have a great range for Runners with good material to keep you warm through the dark winter runs.The waist bands are also really handy for your iPod and locker keys when working out in the gym.

Keep it up with your news years resolutions what ever they may be. Remember we are all in it together trying to stay positive and fit.

 

Keep training and stay healthy.

Style Is What You Pick..

Christmas is over and we are sat snuggled up on the sofa, watching films and in food comas. What a wonderful Christmas its been spent with family and friends. My Christmas stocking was well and truly filled to the tops with goodies.

During the Christmas period I love dressing up and looking smart and this year was no exception. Christmas Eve was spent it with one half of my family 'The Painters'.

 

 

 

Keeping the outfit casual but smart I wore a white shirt with a slogan jumper from ASOS

I love this look. Its so simple but as its Christmas I needed to add a bit of sparkle so what better way? A huge diamante spider broche.

Christmas Day

 

Adrian and I woke up early and could easily of been more excited then any 5 year olds. Stockings from Santa were opened first and then our stocking to each other followed by the rest of our presents to each other. I must say Adrian really did out do himself this year. A few pieces are going to be worth blogging about. One stocking filler was a Selfie Stick (what I've always wanted) it came in handy through out the day.

 

 

Both Adrian and I share the same love of wearing thought out outfits, can't have one of us looking 100% fabulous and the other well.. 10%  If I get clothes for Christmas I try to wear it on Christmas day. Adrian had brought me a classic style shirt which was perfect to match up with my new neck tie from ASOS.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with all your wishes coming true.

Biting Dogtooth

Christmas is just around the corner and I'm wrapping up warm but keeping it simple. This winter its about roll necks and A Line skirts and its such a simple outfit. It suits all body times and comfortable to wear.

Have a Merry Christmas.

 

Top - Zara | Skirt - New Look

 

 

Let the coat do the talking

Its easy to get into a bad habit of wearing all black and who can blame you, its a flattering colour. When wearing black from head to toe you still need to stand out from the crowd and the way to do it? Having a statement coat. This doesn't mean the coat needs to be brightly coloured. A coat which is black can still work, it just needs a good fit and cut.

 

Lets start with the base layer..

Top - Zara | Belt - Primark | Jeans - New Look | Boots - Vintage

 

With the simplest of simple layers done, lets look at the coats. I have a real love for the Dogtooth print. Its sophisticated and simple.
The first coat is a vintage number from my nans wardrobe. It originally use to be a dress but with her handy sewing skills she turned it into a coat, so its a one off I'm afraid ladies but I've seen lots of similar coats in this style.

In The Style have a few similar.

 

 

 

 

Coat number two is more of a oversized cardigan and once again its from my Nans wardrobe but I  found a corker in Zara which isn't on the website! Zara is on point with its style at the moment.

 

 

The final coat is last seasons from Zara but with the leather sleeves its still on trend with no look of going out of fashion any time soon. I have found an American website which seem to be doing an exact match Ali Express

 

 

 

 

Can you believe it a whole post with no pop of colour and its all Black Black Black.

 

Black the leading colour in fashion.
