Casual Sunday Outfit | Floral Trousers

What Sunday would be complete without a trip down to the beach to blow out the cobwebs? Tomás and I took ourselves down to see what was left of the West Pier the other day, and though it was blustery I thought the backdrop was too beautiful not to capture this baggy jumper and 'statement' trouser combo. 

My Fisherman's Jumper was a real steal from Boohoo at £12 and is nicely dipped at the back. My Zara Floral Trousers (I believe these are in the sale currently!) were a purchase a couple of months ago on one of my more daring days. Initially I thought they would be more of a fad piece, that I dug out only on those days when feeling more 'sassy' than just black skinnies. Surprisingly I've worn them a lot, sometimes with plain black tops, but I've also branched out to a Bottle Green Vest Top to pair with it. The cherry on the top of this outfit for me is this Zara Beaded Necklace. The colours pick out the dark floral pattern perfectly and has helped me jazz up a white tee and jeans lazy outfit.



Let me know what your go to cosy Sunday outfit is and how you'd spend your perfect lazy weekend!

Winter Essentials - Tartan & Wool


Here I am easing myself in to 'Fashion blogging' with an outfit that features all of my most loved winter pieces. The boyfriend coat trend for someone who loves to pile on the giant jumpers underneath has been a godsend. This classic Black Coat was only £52 from Topshop.

My most treasured ebay-bought Edingburgh Wool Red Tartan Scarf has dictated my go to red lip this winter. It breaks up what could be a boxy silhouette and any makeup look that lets me spend an extra ten minutes in bed is a must!

The Topshop Month Boots are the easiest finish to any outfit and my Zara Monochrome Handbag has just enough room to fit my purse, keys, and powder compact. The gold chain & hardware are a nice contrast against the black coat and compliment any outfit.


I picked up this Velvet Shirt Dress from Missguided right before NYE and it worked perfectly, worn with chunky heels and a tote bag. However I'm a flats kinda gal and I have to say I prefer it dressed down, with ankle boots and Bowler Hat from Topshop.

Now I can't neglect to mention my Cream 80 Denier Tights I picked up in Primark yesterday for £2. I wanted to add another element of contrast against what could have been a very black outfit, and of course that element had to be monochrome! This may have sparked an adventure into coloured tights (my life has just got wilder), no doubt burgundy or bottle green will be my next addition!


I'm going to end this post in my most natural habitat. Choosing avocados for Mexican date night! So let me know if you've jumped on the boyfriend coat bandwagon, what are your most worn winter pieces, and maybe I'll step out of my monochrome comfort zone!
