Striped Shirt & Sandals.

Stripes are such a big trend this summer as is the long line shirt, so you can imagine how excited I was to find this shirt in Tesco for just £18. The lightweight material is perfect for summer and I love the light grey stripes on the white, very minimal and chic. This shirt could be worn buttoned up and alone but for this particular outfit I chose to wear it undone layered over a basic black vest top.

Now these type of sandals are ones I had sworn never to wear but when I saw these off white snake skin ones for just £10 in Tesco, I couldn't resist trying them on.What I like about these particular sandals compared to some of the others in this style, is that they sole isn't to chunky, which would look just ridiculous on my size 3 feet. These are so comfy but did take about an hour of getting used to before I could walk fast without them falling off my feet.

I finished off my outfit by teaming the shirt and sandals with my ripped skinny jeans and my black handbag to go with the black vest. I then accessorised with my black Tiffany&Co sunglasses and my silver jewellery which I think goes lovely with the light grey stripes.

The Vamps 2015 World Tour.

First of all I want to say a HUGE thank you to my best friend Zoe for getting me this amazing Christmas present. I love love love music so going to see an incredible band like The Vamps is always going to make me happy, even if I was one of the eldest people in there that wasn't looking after children! 

Anyway, despite being a "boy band" with a teenage fanclub there not really boy band-y at all, infact they're super cool and extremely talented. Now when I say talented I don't just mean they put on a flashy light and dance show and sang good song, though they did that of course, I mean they write songs, produce songs, sing, play guitar, play drums and play piano too! As well as singing their own incredible songs last night they also did some fantastic covers from Taylor Swift to Sum 41.

Supporting The Vamps was Luke Friend from X-factor who has a truly amazing voice, The Tide, a Californian boy band who were really good as well and very entertaining and Union J who's music I don't really listen to but did a fantastic live performance.

 Though we were in seating for this concert, we did stand through pretty much the whole thing so I'm glad I chose the chunky heels that I did. I teamed them with my ripped Topshop jeans which I of course turned up to look that little bit more stylish and also to show off the slimness of my ankles in contrast with the chunky heels. I then went for a very simple baggy black tee which I dressed up with my gold collar necklace and River Island fedora hat with gold buckle detailing. The hat finished of this outfit perfectly and also hid where my hair had stuck to my head from getting too hot!

If you've never thought about going to see The Vamps, but you like their music, you should definitely consider it as they are absolutely incredible and if you're interested to see what I'm raving on about I shall be posting some videos of them to my Twitter and Facebook which you can head on over to now via the links below. Don't forget to follow and I shall follow back!

I had such a fun time and really want to see them in concert again.

Who do you recommend I see next?

The Side Split Top.

Side splits and turtle necks are two things I'm loving at the moment and this Asos top not only has both but does a great job of taking turtle necks through to the warmer months in this white, loose fit tee. The top is very comfy and casual but in crisp white still looks very chic.

I decided to style this top with a pair of light denim ripped skinny jeans from Zara, the absolute staple piece in my wardrobe at the moment. The colour of these jeans is so summery and I like the amount of rips they have in them, more than my Topshop ones but less than others that are in the stores. They are the perfect combination of casual and classy.

Now being small I can't really get away with wearing a long top and jeans without heels so I chose to wear these cute navy pointed toe stilettos from Next Clearance. The colour and style is sophisticated but still summery and I think adds that final touch of class to the outfit.

I accessorised with silver jewellery and a sleek low pony tail to keep my hair off my face. This was such a light weight and comfy outfit for the cinema on a warm day and I felt very 'me' in ripped jeans teamed with heels!

Fast and Furious 7 is an amazing film and it's definitely worth going to see in the cinema, It was funny, action packed and filled with emotion. I'm really wanting to do a movie marathon with the other 6 now!

A Spot Of Afternoon Tea.

First of all I want to say a huge thank you to Carmen, a parent at work who treated the work girlies and I to this lovely spot of afternoon tea at The Cathedral Quarter Hotel in Derby. The building is beautiful, as was the food. I recommend this to anyone who likes a nice quite get together with the girls or as a present to your mum.

Now, for this occasion I wanted a smart/casual outfit that was going to be warm and comfy, plus I wanted to where my new Topshop jeans, see The Ripped Jeans & Jumper Dress post for more details. These jeans are extremely comfortable, the fit and colour is smart whilst the rips keep them looking trendy.

I decided to team them with this lovely stone coloured, chunky knit polo neck from Zara. The colour lightening up my outfit in contrast to the mid-dark denim and my brunette hair. I love this knit however it is slightly itchy! 

My shoes are Dorothy Perkins sling back, tan stilettos. I absolutely love these shoes and was so happy to have another occasion to wear them too, I only really wear open toed shoes on nights out and I'm not a huge fan of walking long distances in shoes without straps. These shoes are super comfy and are perfect all year round. My tan bag is from Aldo. It has a gold zip allowing you to make it bigger and a cream and black prestudded flap. 

I detailed my outfit with a gold Armani Exchange watch, MAC Lipstick in Cosmo and a loose, low, centre partinged pony tail.

I Don't "Snow" What To Wear.

Ok ok, not that funny.. But how often do we get to crack snow jokes in Britain? My point exactly. It's not very often we get snow in England and when we do, everybody goes into a panic! It's cold, it's icy..  We want to go out without falling over and freezing but what do we wear? We can't buy new clothes just to be worn 3 days of the year, so here are my top tips on what to wear when "walking in a winter wonderland."

Scarves. I love them! They complete an outfit, adding that perfect pop of colour and guess what? They keep you warm aswell! This gorgeous purple and navy scarf was a Christmas preset off my wonderful boyfriend from Dorothy Perkins, £16 in Black Friday sale, but I have seen similar ones in primark and tesco recently which are probably abit cheaper.

Boots. I'm not one for having my feet covered but at this time of year it is a must! These were £20ish from Tesco last year and they're so comfy and great quality. Plus the colour and style means they're not just for snow, these can be worn all year round when our British summer isn't so sunny!

Layers. Now I love a great big faux fur coat and own a couple, but they're not that cheap and I'm the type of person who likes to whip off my coat and carry it if I get too hot! No one wants to be carrying a huge coat in their arms whilst they're walking! So to beat that winter chill I went back to those days as a child and wore a vest! Not a scruffy old fashioned one but just a normal vest! Then I layered up with a long sleeve tee, my cream knitted jumper, £25 H&M, and this lightweight all year round faux leather jacket also H&M. 

Last but not least what to do with your hair when it's damp, windy and you've hit snooze one to many times on that alarm clock?! Lucky for us tucked in hair is all the rage so give it a brush, wrap around that scarf and you're ready to go! Or go for a slicked back look which is also in fashion, I opted for a French plait on the way home which my cousin ever so kindly did for me.

Hope you're all enjoying winter and I'd love to Snow what you think ;)
