Grey Way

When I spotted these stripey waistband pants in Zara (where else) I immediately pounced. My quick calculation being : Grey + Stripes = Me All Over It. I'm liking everything about these beauts- cut, colour, fabric- and I'm already picturing them with white slides (maybe by the end of this week? Hello 20 degrees!). Hope your post-Easter week is off to a nice sunny start, catch you soon x 

PS Yes, that is me mid conversation in Pic 7. There were six burly tree cutter blokes doing their thing when I was shooting this look. They had absolutely #nobants (ie/ they didn't try to chat me up at all, lolz, can we blame them?) apart from singing the 'Let Me Take A Selfie' song very loudly for my benefit. #bloggerproblems

How Now

Brown leather. The very words strike fear into my heart. There's just...a certain...ickyness there. What could possibly be worse than brown leather? Brown pleather, that's what. But, yep, here I am in some brown pleather pants. Doubtless you'll have clocked a lorra lorra magazines heralding an AW season of brown and mahogany and ochre and rust and tan, so we nero-philes better get used to it. Ideally, I'd have shot this look with a nice oversized oatmeal jumper. But a) it's still 20 degrees, and b) I haven't found quite the right beige sweater for the job yet. (Is anyone else having similar Zara problems to me? In I go "Ooooh I freaking love that oversized jumper so I do">>rushes to changing room>>"Shit, it looks like a dress"?) In retrospect, this white vest clearly does not remotely go with this outfit, but as usual I was in massive hurry and just grabbed what was on top of the t-shirt pile. Grey and black accessories probably don't really go either, but, you know, I'm a seriously rubbish blogger and maybe a tiny clash is a good thing? Laterz chicas xx

Rhapsody In Blue

I couldn't wait to buy these troosers when I first spied them but...just a little heads up.....1) they crease like bastards and 2) they have a tendency to fall down, so go for the smallest size you can. Aside from that, they are ledge. The side-zip detail is to die and they are super-comfy. I'm also priddy pleased with this cropped Breton I picked up recently too...but...I think I must've bought at least 10 striped tops in the last four weeks alone. Ooops :) *Addict Face* And....yeah...I did change shoes half way through shooting this. I was just too desperate to get my slides on, but in retrospect black doesn't really go with blue in this instance. (Normally I like a bit of a blue-black clash thing, but I think we can consider this a fail. Maybe a black top would blend a bit more). Any thoughts? Lemmie know :) xx

Feet First

I couldn't wait another minute to buy a pair of Birkies, so I dived straight in and swooped on these Zara ones. Love them so much it's actually silly. And yes, I would do a sock with them. And a culotte. *Man Repelling Face* I also went for this textured sweatshirt when I was in there, (not that I don't already own several but this one is, like, totally SharPei. Everyone: 'Why do you wanna look like a wrinkly inbred dog?' Me: 'Dunno, just do!'). 

I also just had to get these polka dot espadrilles an' all. Of course, my little fashion heart desires nothing less than a pair of Valentino espadrilles. (And let's be honest, a pair of Chanel ones too). Could I? Should I? Nope and nope. The service charge bill is looming and whilst I'd happily forfeit food for fashion, if I don't pay it I'll get my ass sued. So I'mma have to stick with the dupes. Hark, it's that tiny violin again!

All I Learnt At School

After searching high and low for a baggy trouser that didn't overwhelm, and didn't break the bank, I settled on these Zara classics. Basically, they are the standard bootcut trooser they do every season in their workwear range. I'm still not a happy fashion bunny though, as I want summink in a cotton fabric I think, and perhaps also with a higher waist to wear with crop tops. A bit like this. (Actually, come to think of it, I might go for both those pieces). Are you feeling a baggier trouser this S/S? Lemmie know :) xx

Stolen

I might look like I'm about to rob your house, but I'm not. Honest Guv :) Like a thief in the night I can't help but come Back To Black, like, over and over and over again. But I really can't give enough props to these pleather pants from (you guessed it) Zara. They are complete heaven. And Extra Small fits like a glove, (Happy Face). Cant wait to put 'em with slides and various crop tees and tops. You feelin' faux-leather this S/S 14? Shout me a holla. Laterz lovelies xx

Slide Into Spring

I just absolutely had to get these slides when I saw them during a little Zara expedition recently. I know I probably won't be able to wear them until maybe May, or even June, and by then I'll probably hate them, but for now it's pure lust. Ditto this top. I just cannot believe Zara have done a straight-up copy such a clever homage to Alex Wang. (Dunno why I can't believe it, like, duh, that's what they always do). How freaking pretty is it? Again, it won't be wearable until summer, and even then it requires a certain pertness, which might be even more challenging given that mine drag on the ground like a neanderthal man's knuckles. Again, don't care. A jot. What's new-in that's catching your eye recently? Hit me up, laterz chicas xx

In The Navy

I seem to be inadvertently working uni-colour themes of late. Dunno where that came from. First, all grey. Then all black. Now, all navy. These new Zara trousers are getting towards the baggier shape I'm craving, but they're still not quite baggy enough. I've actually seen some tremendously volumey pants in And Other Stories, so I might have to get those. I do have The Fear about them though, what with being short and well, not a skinny bitch, that they'll somehow end up looking oh-so-wrong, but I'mma give it a shot anyway :)

And oh Lordy, do I ever wanna put these Superstars with every freakin' outfit? Yes I freakin' do! Laterz Lovelies xx

Strong

Another day, another pair of skaters :) Addicted doesn't even come close. I'm thinking these might be my next pair. Orange is kinda fresh for Spring, right? With black. And white. And maybe some grey thrown in too. In the meantime I'm working these well worn Winter shades. *Yawn Face* Still can't quite get over that this leather- I repeat leather- bag was in the Zara sale at £29.99. (Down from £79.99). Sick. Catch you soon chicas xx
