Wales

 Asos coat, Topshop skirt and bobble hat, Ralph Lauren shirt, H&M jumper, Hunter wellies

After a relaxing week in the Welsh countryside, I thought I'd share a few snaps from my little get-a-way. With regular family visits to this gusty part of Britain, I am no stranger to its tempestuous nature and find it no secret that layers and warmth are key to surviving this hearty part of the country; all stylishly done, of course. We took many hilly walks along the sea coast and witnessed beautiful views that spanned for miles. A welcome day trip to the capital Cardiff allowed me to indulged in some much needed cake and retail therapy - a new pair of shoes to be precise and to be showcased here soon!

Geek to Chic

Topshop jumper and jeans, Ralph Lauren shirt, Kurt Geiger booties, Urban Outfitters socks, Asos glasses, Louis Vuitton Speedy bag

Despite the fact I am frequently told by those closest to me that I apologise far too much, I have my fair share of apologies to make in this post; all necessary, of course. Firstly, for my lack of blogging in the last week or so. Sometimes life becomes overwhelmingly busy and the things you enjoy most get put on the back burner for a little while. Secondly, for how disgracefully dirty my mirror appears to be! Note to self, clean mirror ASAP (what was I saying about being overwhelmingly busy.......) And lastly, for the embarrassing nature of this sickeningly posey photo; generally I am no fan of the camera in hand pout at the mirror photo, but the weather is just so British (and by that I mean rain rain rain) at the moment, that, for now, this was all I could muster up I'm afraid. 

And so to the pressing issue, my new glasses! I'm not sure whether I should freely admit to the world that, in actual fact, I have rather good vision and glasses are not essential to the daily function of my life whatsoever. Initially, when these little beauties arrived on my doorstep, I was so overcome with excitement that such thoughts didn't even occur to enter my brain. But, I have been told (you know who you are) that, why on earth would you wear glasses if you don't actually need to? Err, because they perfectly combine both the geek and the chic elements of fashion and conjure up a look so divine that no one will even begin to think "hmm does she really need glasses?" but rather "OMG, where are those fabulous glasses from!?" Yes, the glasses that are so amazing that they lead people into saying OMG and fabulous, all in the same overly flamboyant sentence. I feel I'm digressing a little now, so I think it's time for me to tune out and go create some outfits to go with my new favourite accessory. Let me know what you think, readers. Until next time catch  me on Twitter and Pinterest.

Umbrella Weather

 Ralph Lauren shirt, Barbour jacket, Vintage Levi's, Zara belt, Topshop loafers

I love my vintage Levi's; they're actually way too big for me now and so I really should invest in a new pair. Somehow I can't quite manage it though as I've grown so fond of this pair. They're so easy and breezy and great for running around the city in. I've juxtaposed my shorts with a country bumpkin quilted Barbour jacket. I've had it for years now but as my style evolves it appears less and less. I'll never get rid of it though, it's definitely a forever piece and I love to bring it out every now and then for nostalgic reasons. It's also pretty good protection against the Mancunian rain! 
Until next time catch me on Twitter and Pinterest.

Shades of White

 Topshop top, Ralph Lauren skirt, Zara trench and belt, Blu shoes

Somehow I think the title of this post may have been more appropriate if it was 'Shades of Beige' but that just sounds kinda boring and, I'm hoping, my outfit isn't. Yes, it's simple in terms of its colour palette but I think there is something very chic about putting various different neutral hues together and then brightening the whole thing up with a swipe of red lipstick. 
Just a quick one today as I'm off to London for the weekend, hope everyone has a great few days and I'll be back next week; Bon Voyage!
