I love cooking and making pretty food so I'm thinking of starting a healthy cooking page as part of my blog too, what do you guys think?! Is that something you'd be interested in reading?

Lost and Found

Top- Topshop. Skirt-Choies.com. Bag- Sportgirl. Shoes-Choies.com


Hey guys, Ive just come across this photo from a few months ago when I was back in Melbourne. I thought it had been lost forever in a memory card malfunction but its miraculously appeared again! Yay, Ive been meaning to show you this skirt for a little while.

I love how different this skirt is for a high street find, its got such a unique structure and the quality is really good. Ive also found its pretty versatile, I can get away with wearing it in the office and out for a night out depending on how I style it up.

I also miss my hair being so light, I need to get some more sun soon. the Scottish weather is definitely all that its lived up to and more... I didn't think it was normal to get hailstone storms in May but apparently so!

Combination Print




Jacket- H&M. Cardigan- Vintage. Top- Cheap Monday. Jeans- Topshop. Bag- Moschino. Shoes- ZARA

Combination print has to be one of my favourite trends at the moment. I love a bit a contradiction when it comes to fashion so when this particular trend hit the catwalk I was all for it- the more contrasting and conflicting the pattern, the better.

I've kept it pretty casual today teaming this vintage zebra cardigan with these cute snow leopord zara sandals along with my favourite h&m biker and faithful Jamie jeans.

Basically the end product was a hybrid of  monochrome,contrast print and snow zebra leopard!

Reliables



1.   2.  3.45.


Quite often I see an amazing statement piece that I've just got to have (like these stunning Chloe trousers) but when it comes to styling it up its a lot harder than you think! It’s easy to over load an outfit with too many busy accessories and ruin the overall look.

I like to keep things clean so when it comes to bags and shoes I’m a sucker for simple black leather
accessories because I can wear them with almost anything. Investing in some quality leather accessories
is something that can make such a huge difference to an outfit and will last for years if you look after
them properly.

The same goes for jewellery; as much as I love to go crazy on the odd high street jewellery
spree it’s good to have a couple of statement pieces to wear on special occasions. I tend to stick to
silver and pewter pieces of jewellery - the Alexander McQueen
Flower Skull ring and the YSL Arty ring are my two all time favourites.

Cobalt


Jacket- H&M. Sunglasses-Cotton On. Jumper- Sportsgirl. Skorts- Zara. Bag- Sportsgirl. Shoes- Choies.com 

 This skort from Zara ticks just about every box in the desirable skirt/shorts stakes for me- tailored, asymetic , clean cut and electric blue- so I absolutely had to get it, there was no decision to be made!

Ive paired it with this chunky ribbed jumper from Sportsgirl and my most favourite addition to my wardrobe at the moment- my H&M leather jacket.

The skort also comes in white which I really liked too but every time I buy something in white I'm too scared to wear it out at night in case it gets ruined (flash back the Tuxedo jacket incident of 2011) and when I eventually do, I spill on it anyway. So at the moment, white tailoring and I are having some time apart.

Shoes....




1. BCBGMAXAZRIA        2. ZARA.
 
 
I would love for both of these pairs of sandals to be in my shoe collection in time for summer. I've been looking for a pair of shoes with a metallic heel for a while now but haven't found any I've liked until I came across these BCBG beauties.
 
These Zara combination print sandals are equally as amazing and as essential for summer. If only my bank balance could facilitate this...
