Oh Oasis

Happy Monday!

The time is just whizzing by so I'm playing post catch up with last weekends antics which consisted of new hair, wedding dress shopping, dinner at Jamie's, tapas (and sangria) lunch and a trip to Westfield where I had a little splurge in Oasis

Vintage Geometric Perspex Necklace

Love a statement necklace and this one will look great with a grey tee, my new boyfriend jeans and orange heels...

Ella Slim Fit Boyfriend Jeans

Leather Court from Zara

I've been trying to find the right boyfriend fit jeans for a while now. Getting the right the balance between supposed slouchy and sloppily shapeless has been tricky. But I think these could just be the answer to my prayers

Indian Summer Dress

Basic Sandal from Zara

I saw this dress in the window and could see that it would be so versatile. In the summer I'll go bare legged with sandals and come autumn/winter I'll pop on some opaques and boots

Stripe Maxi Dress

Carla Sandal from Pieces

This holiday I want to wear a mix of heels and flats in the evenings. I think flats look great with maxi dresses, but I have struggled to find one that isn't too casual or too dressy. I think this one is just right though. Happy days :)

Hope you all had a good weekend? What did you get up to?

Sale Spree

Happy Friday!

I have succumbed to the sales, John Lewis and Zara to be precise

I couldn't wait to get into a Zara store so I decided to pick up some things that I've had my eye on, and that didn't need trying on

Quilted Messenger Bag With Pocket

I do love an oversized clutch but I thought I'd try out a little cross body bag for a change

Combined Court Shoe

I thought these heels would look fab teamed with a boyfriend jean, white tee and statement necklace (here)

Quilted Messenger With Pocket

I just loved the colour of this bag and thought it wouldn't add a pop of colour to a more muted outfit

Have you been sale shopping yet? What's your best buy?

I'm really looking forward to the weekend. We're cooking dinner for Andy's sister and brother in law tonight where I predict copious amounts of prosecco will be consumed. Tomorrow we are going to Taste of London in Hyde Park, yum. So needless to say Sunday will be spent pounding the pavements after our food fest weekend!

What are your plans for the weekend?

Blooming Blazer

As soon as I saw this blazer I knew it would look fab teamed with a simple tee and mid wash boyfriend jeans with turn ups

Cropped Printed Blazer

For a casual look I'll wear a cute pair of flats

Flat Sandals With Straps from Zara

Mardisling from Dune

Or jazz it up with some metallic pumps

Metallic Ballerina from Zara

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday?

Botanical Beauty

I first spotted this dress on the lovely Anneli (here) so when I was in Zara I decided to check it out for myself

This dress falls in the throw on and your good to go department which takes all the stress out of holiday packing so I couldn't resist

Printed Shift Dress

Happy Friday everyone

Mx

Atomic Tangerine

I got this fluro orange dress at the weekend to wear on our upcoming holiday

Crepe Tee Shift Dress from Topshop

It will look great with this necklace which I've been wearing recently with my red tee (here)

Shard Necklace from Topshop

I love the black zip pull detail on the back so I'll wear simple black heels to pull it altogether

Basic Sandal With Ankle Strap from Zara

Are you braving brights this summer?

Isn't Elegance Forgetting What One Is Wearing?

I bought these shoes from Zara on Friday and they had their first outing on Saturday evening (a sure fire sign that I'm onto a winner)

High Heel Vamp Shoe With Ankle Strap from Zara

A simple pair of heels, but for some subtle features that make them stand out to me

The cut across the foot gives a tiny glimpse of toe cleavage, whilst the the thin strap emphasizes a delicate ankle

And that's why these heels are aptly described as; high heel vamp shoe with ankle strap

I wore them with a pair of black skinnies cut just above the ankle but they are so versatile, they are going to work with skirts, dresses and even tailored shorts. Happy days :)

Hope you all had a good weekend?

We Live In A Rainbow Of Chaos

The weather is still dreary but these sandals cannot fail to brighten up the dullest day (even if it means just looking at them in their box!)

I finally caved and ordered them on Sunday evening

They turned up at my desk on Wednesday morning and I love them, happy days :)

Can't wait for the weekend...

There Is A Thin Line Between Love And Hate And That Line, My Friend, Is A Scarf

I've brightened up an all black (some would consider boring) outfit today with my new scarf from Zara

I do wear quite a lot of black so I know I'm going to reach for this scarf time and time again

It's warm, but lightweight and a really good size. It says handwash, so that will the delicate setting on my washing machine :)

Cream Doesn't Rise To The Top, It Works It's Way Up

Not the most practical colour, considering I'm a clumsy clut *step away from the red wine Michelle* but I really think this coat is going to inject some new life into my current wardrobe

Combination Jacket With Zips from Zara

Have you got a piece that's totally impractical but you love anyway?
