Yellow

Jumper- Zara. Shirt- River Island. Skirt- H&M. Bag- Zara. Shoes-Topshop

Hi Guys!

 I needed to show you this Yellow jumper I got from Zara the other week, I've been getting a lot of wear out of it recently! Its such a nice fit and I love the colour :)

 I bought it in a size Medium so it would fit slightly looser and sit better for layering! Some of you have been e-mailing to ask what sizes Ive bought in various items, I usually buy a six unless i say otherwise! Oh and the T-shirt dress below is from the petite section, I'm still waiting for that growth stint I was promised all those years ago...

Oh and the In Love with Fashion giveaway ends tomorrow don't forget to enter if you want to win :)

Thank you for all your lovely comments recently, ive been so so busy recently so havent had the chance to reply to them but I really appreciate every single one :)

Hope you're all having a good weekend!

T-shirt Dress


T-shirt dress- Topshop. Clutch- ASOS. Necklace- Topshop. Shoes- Topshop

Hi Guys,

You might have noticed that I haven't been buying many new things from Topshop recently, I don't know why I just haven't been feeling it so much lately. I went in the other day for the first time in weeks and bought this little t-shirt dress! I'm not usually into such girly silhouettes but I'm loving this, I think the grey marl jersey material kind of scruffens it up a bit!

ALSO! I forgot to say in the past couple of posts, I've lightened my hair again :) I was missing my blonde hair and its making me feel a little more summery again.  A few of you were asking so i thought I'd clear it up !

I am overwhelmed by the amount of you who took the time to fill out my survey for my dissertation, it is SUCH a big help and I've had some great answers! So thank you sooo much!  If anyone else is writing their dissertation please just drop me an e-mail and I'll be more than happy to return the favour!

There are also only a couple more days to enter the In Love with Fashion giveaway, so don't forgot to enter if you want a chance to win!

:)

Paisley


Jacket- Vintage . Paisley Shirt- Zara. Necklace- Topshop. Shorts- Zara. Shoes- Topshop

Paisley print is a big hit for me this season, I can't get enough of it! I'm enjoying this shirt from Zara especially and all of its silky paisley pyjama-esque glory!

You might have noticed that I have these tailored shorts from Zara in black also and they fit amazing so when I saw that they were out in white for summer too I had to snap them up!

I have another small small favour to ask :) I'm in the middle of writing my dissertation and wondered if you guys would be able to help me out by filling in a short questionnaire! My dissertation is on the use of fashion blogs as platforms for advertising and  I want gain the readers perspective on it and I'd really value you guys' opinions!  

If you fill out the survey here I'll love you forever :)
 I was also pointed towards a jumper in Tesco with my face on it by Tabitha today! It was really strange to see but kind of cool at the same time. SO If you want to get your hands on a really trendy Nicola Claire (kids) jumper you can purchase one here.

Happy Monday.

Scuba Dress

Dress- c/o Motel. Clutch- ASOS. Shoes- Topshop. Necklace- Miss Selfridge
Dress-c/o Motel . Shoes- ASOS. Clutch- ASOS . Wrist band- Miss Selfridge. Cuff- ASOS.
Hi Guys,

I got this amazing little scuba-esque dress the other day thanks to the lovely people over at Motel. Ive styled it up in two slightly different ways for you, first a more feminine look and secondly a slightly more edgy one :).  Motel Rocks is a brand that i've loved since i was 17- 18, they just seem to be able to keep up with trends and always seem relevant.

I love the digitalised print on this dress as much as the high neck, three quarter length sleeves and scuba like structure its got going on. Whats even better is that if you're not really a dress person, then this print comes in a top, jeans shorts and playsuit too!  AND right now, Motel are offering readers of Nicola Claire 15% off with the code: ITSLOVE15 so get shoppping!!!

ALSO! Dont forget that entries for my Boticca giveaway will end at midnight tonight and the winner will be announced tomorrow :)

I was lucky enough to be featured as a guest curator for Boticca this week too and if you like you can read the article here.

Cathedral Skirt

Skirt- Black Milk. Jumper- H&M. Shirt- Zara. Cuff- River Island. Shoes- Topshop. Bag- Zara
Hi guys,

Here is what i wore today :) I got this Cathedral Skirt from Black Milk a couple of weeks ago as a gift but have had so many other things to show you that it hasn't made an appearance yet! Its a crime i know, as it is probably one of my favourite skirts ever! If you haven't checked out Black Milk yet you definitely should as they have an amazing selection of leggings and dresses too- all with such unique designs.

I know tomorrow is Valentines day but is anyone else more excited about pancake day on the 21st? I've never done anything for Valentines day before so don't really know what im missing! Although me and my friends DID plan to go speed dating last year for a laugh but believe it or not it was fully booked! Which was actually probably a blessing in disguise....

Also there are just two more days left to enter my Boticca giveaway! Make sure you enter if you would like the chance to win £100 worth of vouchers.
