what I wore today: black & tan


I hardly ever wear all black, maybe only once every two months! I must have woken up on the dark side of my bed because I fancied a basic black ensemble. I bought this black tee from topshop last year but it's one of my favourite slogan tees because it's so simple.

recently I splashed out on two pairs of leigh skinnies from topshop. I hate jean shopping, hopping about on one leg whilst fighting to peel off super tight denim is my least favourite shopping experience. when I find a pair that fit I tend to grab them so I can avoid trying on any more! I got one black and faded classic blue so at least I now have my denim allowance for the winter (no more changing room workouts)

I'm still loving my leopard boots from matalan especially now as I seem to be dodging puddles every morning! definitely time to retire the flip flops..


tee: topshop
jeans: topshop
suede bag: topshop
tan belt: new look
chelsea boots: matalan
lipstick: louise grey in mexican wave

so this week I'm going to london to celebrate my bf's birthday! I'm really excited, we've booked a really lovely boutique hotel in hyde park and a mad hatters afternoon high tea! I can't wait to tuck into rainbow sandwiches, drink me potions, scones and magical lollipops.. eeeek!

today I'm going to raid my wardrobe to pick out what I'll be wearing! I'll post lots of pictures on instagram while I'm there so beware if you're following me aha!

happy rainy monday lovely people!

  6. Cool shoes! I have a pair of leopard print shoes as well.. but they have laces and are so worn out that it looks like I'm wearing leopard print cardboard wrapped around my feet tied up with string.
