I have expressed my love of blanket capes on numerous occasions. In fact, I think they are probably the best things that have ever been invented. I wore mine out the other day, and while yes, it did billow behind me like I was Severus Snape striding around, I WUVVED IT.

I think they’re quite a hard one to put an outfit together with though. You don’t want to wear anything too casual, in case someone genuinely mistakes you for a hobo. Equally, it’s not exactly like you can wear a blanket on a night out (however much we want to when the snow starts, and we have to totter about risking hypothermia). Anywho, I wore this one shopping and I was pretty happy with the overall look. At the moment, I physically can’t get these velvet leggings off of my legs. They’re such a winter staple, and thick enough to keep your legs from falling off. I also popped on my favourite leather look tee from F&F and these HUGE, HOLOGRAPHIC HEELS. Heavens and blimey, they are so beautiful. They kill my feet, but who the hell cares. They were in the sale in Primark, and only cost me £8. BAZINGA.

What do you think? Are blanket capes your new thang?

Outfit of the Day: Velvet Leggings and Baroque Shirt

Missguided, Velvet and Flatforms

Well, aren’t we the worst bloggers in the world! Claire and I have been super busy and have neglected blogging horribly. BUT OH WELL.

I have fallen in love with these Primark flatforms and genuinely can’t get enough of them. Unfortunately, they absolutely ruin my feet – the ankle straps literally BRUISE my ankles and unfortunately, I can’t wear them for very long. Which is a shame. I don’t know if any of you gals have bought flatforms from Primark before, but I would be mega keen to hear whether you’ve have the same problem?

But anywho, I also wore my new favourite velvet leggings, which are from New Look. They’re also on sale at the moment for £7, so if I were you, I would run there faster than a fast thing on legs to grab a pair. They are literally perfect for these chilly autumn days. On my top bits, I have on my FAVOURITE Missguided Baroque style shirt. When I bought it, it reminded me a bit of a Mandela shirt. If you don’t know what a Mandela shirt looks like…

What can I say, the man was a style inspiration. Blimey.

What do you think? Is Mandela your new style inspo? 

Outfit of the Day: Warehouse Drop Waisted Dress & Floppy Hat

FLUFFY BAG

AHHHH. I have been the worst blogger in the world. My only excuse is that I have been very depressed since Claire left me all on my owny at work, and I have had to compensate by sleeping and eating chocolate a lot.

But anywho, while I have been in a bit of a hiatus blogging wise, my shopping has not ceased. While I’ve bought basically MILLIONS of new things, I have also been very lucky to receive this absolutely beautiful dress from the excellent folks at Warehouse. Me and Claire were feeling like bloody ballers when our bits and pieces arrived – it’s very rare that we actually wear things that costed more than 50p.

Sadly, in my old age, I picked this dress because I could wear it to meetings at work, as well as wear on the caj. It’s served me very well in both, and here’s how I wore it recently! In fact, the whole of the Warehouse dress range is amazing, and I thoroughly recommend you take a little gander and get involved. Anywho, In this chilly winter weather, hats are the best for keeping the noggin warm and an obligatory leather jacket keeps things looking leathery. I also wore this with my new favourite ankle boots from New Look, which are Chelsea vibes and have some jazzy suede bits on them too. Huzzah.

Let’s just take a moment to enjoy the furry clutch bag too, which is also from New Look. Swoon. I can’t see it online yet, but I got this one instore in Stratford-upon-Avon.

What do you think, chums? 

Outfit of the Day: Ripped Joni Jeans & Tartan Scarf

Hello there sexy things! SO last weekend it was my birthday, which means 2 things: 1, I am now horrendously old. And 2, I obviously had an excuse to go shopping. Initially I hit the Bullring in my old uni city Birmingham, planning a full day of shopping armed with all of my birthday money and my fantasy winter wardrobe in mind. Unfortunately, I made an awful mistake.

…I tried to go shopping with a boy. DUH, I hear you cry.

He made it as far as Forever 21 before looking like he might collapse. Weakling. I therefore took myself off on a solo shopping mission the next day in my hometown and was obviously 428% more successful. I picked up this entire outfit (minus the bag, which has been my go-to day bag for the last month or two now) as well as plenty more bits that I’ll likely showcase soon in a haul of some sort.

Primark tartan scarfI finally caved in and bought some of Topshop’s iconic Joni jeans, which I officially love. They’re high-waisted and suck you in really well, without flattening your bum into a pancake bum as some skinny jeans can do (looking at you Primark). I opted for the pair with the ripped knees because I’m bloody crazy, and also a knee slut. I also picked up the long-sleeved crop top as a casual basic, though I got the petite version which actually maybe comes up a little too cropped.

From Primark I was chuffed as shit to find this beauty of a scarf. I wasn’t sure if I’d still like tartan this season, but I love the navy focus of this one. It’s absolutely massive and could probably worn as a makeshift blanket cape if you didn’t fancy buying a proper one, making it even more of a bargain at just £5. I also love these pointed flats, which I think were around £14. They’ve got a beautiful mock croc effect that I was going to show you up close, but I have mega toe cleavage in these shoes and I decided it was frankly indecent.

What do you all think of this outfit? Let me know in the comments below!
