Accessorize Sale Picks

If I'm honest I haven't really done very much sale shopping, particularly for someone who loves shopping as much as I do! December sort of bled me dry and I've got a few holidays planned for next year which I am trying to save for. But last weekend I just couldn't walk past the huge sale signs in the window of Accessorize. So I popped in and emerged about 20 minutes laters with some lovely picks that I thought I would share.

The first, and my favourite is this beautiful double chain necklace from the Z by Accessorize collection. I absolutely love how delicate and expensive this looks, especially as with 70% off it really wasn't.

I think this would look beautiful just with an undone white shirt for an effortless but expensive look.

The next thing that I got was a bit of a boring purchase but I always need these! I really like to style my hair half clipped up so these grips work perfectly for that as they can hold more hair than bobby pins. And for only £1 I couldn't really go wrong!

I also couldn't resist this delicate rose gold heart necklace as in the sale in came to £1.50. And this would perfectly complement the rose gold and pink Cluse watch that I bought for Christmas.

And finally...I bought chocker! I know what you are thinking, they're probably old news now. But I never really felt like they suited me or my style, particularly the thicker velvet ones. But this one is so simple and delicate that you can barely tell its there. I really like to layer it up with a few other gold necklaces for a slightly bohemian look.

So there you have it, a few little picks from the Accessorize sale. There are probably going to be a few more little hauls coming up here and there as I have got some lovely things recently that I really want to share with you!

I need to apologise for the lack of posts this last week. It has been pretty busy with university and everything, but I handed my coursework in yesterday and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Plus I am looking forward to getting back into posting again. 

So I thought that I would share with you the outfit that I wore yesterday (today has been more of a lounge pants and messy bun kind of day!). 

My mum and I share a huge scarf collection. And when I say huge we are talking roughly 70+! She has always loved scarves as an accessory or a way to add colour or pattern to an outfit and I have just picked up that part of her style.

I only brought a few of my favourite scarves up with me to uni but the other day I was getting dressed and remembered that we had this scar and asked her to send it up to me. We got this one last year at the Christmas markets in London, after falling in love with the unique water marked print. I just love the colours in this and it looks perfect with navy or grey. 

I wore the scarf with my favourite grey jumper from H&M, a silver heart necklace, my pearl earrings and a little bracelet. I kept everything pretty simple and elegant so that the scarf would be the focus of the look. 

I also wore some black jeans from Zara, to balance out all the neutrals! And my rose gold watch as I don't really see the harm in mixing gold and silver jewellery. Rules are made to be broken!

One of my favourite nail polishes at the moment is this rose gold shade from ORLY. Thought that this would look perfect with the outfit. And I actually did a full review of this which you can have a read of here. 

Hope you are all well and liked this outfit post. I am sure scarves are going to become even more of a staple for me as the weather is now so cold. Although all the Christmas lights are up and everything looks so pretty so I can sort of deal with the chill! Speak soon xx

Back To Basics

Back To Basics

I have spent most of today just packing for Kefalonia tomorrow. We are leaving in the early hours of the morning so I need to be completely ready by the time I got to sleep. But I did manage to get out the house today to meet some old school friends that I haven't seen in months. I have known them all since I was 11 years old and they are a group of some of my best friends. The kind of friends that you don't see in almost a year and then you just pick up where you left off and it is like no time has passed at all. Which is great because we are all at different universities, studying different subjects and don't get to see each other too often. 

Anyway, we went out for lunch in town, Pizza Express, as it is cheap and quick. We are all students after all! And I thought I would share my outfit with you. It was just a few basic pieces that I threw together and then accessorized a little, but I really loved the way that it looks. 

This white top is one of my absolute favourites, and that is saying something as I do have quite a few white tops! But they are just so useful to throw on as they go with any coloured jeans, skirts or shorts and most accessories. To make things even more simple I also wore a pair of black skinny jeans. When in doubt or in a rush monochrome is always a good way to go! 

I also threw on a gold watch and necklace, big sunnies and my slip-ons. And then I carried around all my stuff (most of it unnecessary, I should have gone with just my card and phone!) in this pastel satchel handbag. Which if I am honest I totally forgot I had until I found it while packing this morning! 

All that I need to do now is decide what I am going to wear on the flight. When it comes to flying (especially when it is like 3am) I am more of a no makeup, comfy clothes kind of girl. All I am really going to do is put my headphones in and fall asleep. So I am off to hunt for my travel pillow and a cosy hoodie! Speak soon xx

Accessorize Summer Sale

Accessorize Summer Sale

How could I resist a sale in one of my favourite shops ever?! If you have been reading my blog for a little white then the fact that I love Accessorize will come as no surprise to you. All of my hats, most of my bags and about 90% of all my jewellery are all from the brand. My style is very much classic, simple fashion accessorised with pretty feminine details. 

One of the things that I found in the sale was this beautiful khaki hat. I love a good wide brim hat, especially when it starts to get colder to pull together an outfit and smarten up a look. I love this khahi colour for Autumn and actually think that it suits me quite well. This hat would look lovely paired with big woollen jumpers, navy duffel coats or black jackets. 

Another item I spotted was this beautiful white bead chain necklace. I am in love with delicate jewellery, which Accessorize does so well and have lots of little gold and silver pendant style necklaces. This one is so simple and understated but looks so pretty with this V shape neckline. 

These shoes have to be the best £9 that I have spent in a long time! They are so comfy, the first time I wore them was an 8 hour shift and I had no problems! I think they are so cute and simple so they go with basically everything that I own. If I have an outfit and I don't know what shoes to wear they these are the perfect option as they don't really draw much attention to your feet. I think the slip-on shoe style is so cool and these ones are awesome!

I saw these earrings on the website and thought they were really different and pretty. I love the blue shades and think these would be the perfect way to dress up a really simple white or blue blouse. 

The last thing that I got from Accessorize was this little turquoise triangle pendant. I wear a lot of white and I thought that this necklace would be a subtle way to add a little bit of colour for summer to my outfit. It looks so delicate a pretty and reminds me a little of garden bunting! 

Hope you like this post. I have been doing a little bit of sale shopping recently, especially from Mango so I can't wait to share with you all of the beautiful things that I got from there! Speak soon xx

Bohemian White

Bohemian White 

I wanted to share with you the outfit that I wore yesterday for a family barbecue. I have found that while in the winter with all the layers my style turns more preppy with lots of collars and cable kints, in the summer my style gets a bit more bohemian, lots of floaty white tops and pretty accessories. It's weird really as they are two very different styles but I love them both. 

The main aspect of this outfit are these beautiful feather earrings which I got ages ago in an Accessorize sale and only wore the for the first time yesterday! They are definitely a summer accessory but I think that they look so beautiful, especially with this feminine style of outfit. I don't know if feather earrings are really in this summer but I think that the subtle jewels and the pale pink shade make these more timeless and wearable that the brighter colour feathers that were around a few years ago. 

I also decided to practice curling my hair yesterday in these pretty beachy waves. To do these I use my Babyliss curling wand and I have found that it works best to take really small strands of hair and twist them around the curling wand and then drop them out after only about a second. This way you get more of a wave than a curl. I also just brush these out with my fingers a bit afterwards but not a hair brush. 

The top that I am wearing is another old sale purchase from Monsoon. It's not a shop that I usually go into as they aren't really aimed at my age range. But I do think that they have some beautiful tops, blouses and jumpers. This is a beautiful white floatly blouse that I sometime use in summer as a beach coverup. It's loose but still a flattering shape with skinny jeans and has a lovely appliqué detail around the buttons at the front. 

Top - Monsoon

Jeans - Uniglo
Earrings - Accessorize

Turtle bracelet - Accessorize

Bracelet - Pandora
Watch - Nixon

Here is a close up so you can see the detailing on the blouse. 

Hope everyone has a good Monday. I have work this afternoon plus several episodes of The Vampire Diaries that I need to catch up on! Speak soon xx

Some Pieces From Today

Some Pieces From Today

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone! Today is also my Dad's 50th birthday so I'm back home until Sunday. It's so nice being back home, even though my family is totally crazy! In a few minutes we are going to head into London and wonder around China Town and Covent Garden before going for a nice meal. 

But I just quickly wanted to share with you a few bits and pieces from today before I head out. And I'll have a full outfit post coming up for you soon. 

This is my new phone case that I got off Ebay a few weeks ago. I've seen it on a few different websites but I love it and can't get over how pretty it is. 

Painted my nails again in one of my favourite shades from 2014. It's Essie in the shade Parka Perfect and I just think it is the most unusual greyish blue colour. 

Hope you all have a lovely day (despite the grotty weather if you are in England!). Speak soon xx
