I BANANA NY

Weekday T.shirt | Vero Moda Jeans | Zara Bag | Topshop Boots 

I'm so in love with my new bag that my boyfriend got me for my birthday, it reminds me of the Moschino bucket bags. I just want to wear it all the time with everything. I can't find the link to it online, but I know it's still in stores. It was only about £39 as well (yes I did pick it) which I think is an absolute bargain! It looks a lot more expensive & has such nice detailing on it.

He also brought me this t.shirt that I have loved for a while & this cute little necklace with my initial on, which you might have seen in mt last birthday post.

The boy did good!!

MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND.

Birthday Treats | Zara selfie | I'm old | Wandering down Carnaby | Make-up treats | Joe & The Juice pick me up | Me & my boy | Window gazing | Hotel Chilling | My beautiful present from Josh

So my birthday weekend has just been and gone in a flash!

 

On Friday I went for some mojitos with my favourite gal palls & then for the weekend I went to stay in London with my boyfriend to do a bit of shopping & meet up with some family for a shandy or two. Unfortunately I was a bit poorly, so we didn't get to do a lot of the things I wanted to. Boo!! I knew there was a sure sign something was wrong when I was let loose in Topshop Oxford Street & didn't buy a thing!! Bad times!

It was my actual birthday yesterday though & I had such a lovely chilled day & evening with my mum, dad & boyfriend. I'm a major home bird, so spending the day pottering about with my parents & having a massive takeaway in my p.jays was the perfect day to me.

It's times like birthdays that I feel very blessed & lucky to have such wonderful friends & family!

Now I'm off to online shop to make up for my lack of it in London!

WANG.

Vintage Silk Shirt

Topshop lacey jeans

Topshop Jolie Heels

Primark Belt

This is just a little quickie of yesterdays outfit.

I forgot I had this shirt, I went off it for a while but I dug it out yesterday and channeled a little bit of Wang with the button undooing. I'm off shopping in Oxford Street tomorrow & i'm going on the hunt for a collarless shirt. A nice crisp white cotton Grandad style is what i'm after, I think Zara might come up with the goods. I brought my boyfriend one from Asos a while ago & much to his disapproval I want to be matchy matchy with him like a couple of grandads together. 

What a treat it will be.

ZARA KNIT

Zara Oversized Crew Neck Sweater

Vero Moda Wonder Denim

Topshop Jolie Double Strap Heels

Primark Double Pouch Bag

Topshop Coin Necklace

I literally can't believe i'm wearing a thick wool jumper in the middle of August. Outrageous.

Although I am not complaining because I am absolutely in love with it. I might even go as far to say it's my favorite piece of knitwear that I have ever owned. Ever! A bold statement I know, but It just ticks all my boxes; it's majorly oversized, it's got a high crew neck, & it's fluffy without being itchy. It also comes in a couple of other colours, I'm really tempted by the sand one!

I can see myself living in this over the next few months.

I've also got a bit of a thing about the 'hair tuck'. I don't think that's a thing, but it's what i'm calling it. You know when you pull a jumper over your head and it tucks all the back of your hair in. I love that.

THE DUSTER COAT : DAYTIME TO EVENING

Daytime

Duster Coat c/o Glamorous

Weekday Sweater

Topshop Jeans

Pool Sliders c/o Glamorous

Primark Double Pouch bag

Evening

Duster coat c/o Glamorous

High Neck Top c/o Glamorous

Vero Moda Leather Trousers

Vero Moda Croc Clutch Bag

Jimmy Choo Heels

So I think the duster coat is probably the most versatile trend for Autumn/Winter & this Glamorous one is not only my favorite that I've found, but it's the most affordable! It's a really beautifully made crepe fabric & I love the cut, the sleeve length is so perfect! It comes in a couple of different colours to... which i'm really tempted by!

To show you the versatility of it, I've styled it up how I would wear it in the daytime & in the evening. I'm not really a dress kind of person, I haven't owned a body con dress in years! So when I go out I like to be quite casual, but add some heels, a clutch, lipstick & generally try not to look like I've been dragged through a hedge. 

I don't think I've shown you my Jimmy Choo's before. My boyfriend brought them for me for my birthday a few years ago  & they're my favorite shoe in the world. Although to be honest, they do spend most of the time in their box because i'm so scared of scuffing them, which I did the first time I wore them. Eek!!

So to sum up, I think the duster coat is certainly the best investment piece at the moment & i'm certainly planning to grab a few more for next season.
