Crop It Like It's Hot

Originally, I wanted to put this very cute cropped knit with a nice high-waisted trouser. I've seen Amy Magpie rocking a number of excellent high-waisted looks recently, and I wanted to give it a whirl myself. I hauled a couple of (what I thought were suitable) pairs of trews from Zara and was all set to shoot. But- disaster darling- when it came to the crunch something just wasn't working for me and I retreated into the safety of a skinny jean. I say retreated, I mean shoe-horned, obvs. Whilst I'm clearly wayyyy too fat to be working a jean this tight with a cropped top I just can't help but luvin' these leather-patch skinnies to the max. (Can't find the link for them...soz!) Normally I do a massive diet-drive in the last few weeks before Crimbo so I can have a lovely indulgent time over the holidays....looks like I need to re-double my efforts!

The Story Of My Life

We need a drumroll here.....coz....the tights are on. They're on, I'm done, stick a fork in me. Ain't nobody need to be seeing my nasty milk bottle legs for a moment longer, so they are away now, and let's be grateful for that :) I actually have the worst love-hate thing with tights, don't you? I mean, they just couldn't be nicer to wear, and they deffo always make me feel thinner. But they also kinda ruin most outfits. I've seen a few bloggers do a knee sock over a sheer denier tight, so I might try that in the near future. Anyhoo, I'm kinda living in this Gap poloneck at the minute, and it's ridonk cheap, so hit it up, I say. And this Zara check pleated mini is really easy to wear as it's got a slightly slouchy shape. (We like). Hope your week is going gorgeously, catch you soon xx

PS Girls- gotta ask a massive favour- if you ever hear me say 'I really like a boy' or 'I'm going on a date' please please please take the following steps:- 1) Slap me, 2) Tell me to wise-up and 3) Remind me that all men are vile evil hypocritical egotists. Of course, there are benefits to being knocked-back by two dates in one week (is that a Guinness World Record? Probably).......namely- 1D Day. I got to watch it instead of going-a-dating. I cringed when they lied to Piers Morgan about everything. I watched eyes-on-stalks when they did their version of 'Talk Dirty To Me' and I just generally marvelled at how adorable and tattooed and hairy-faced they are. #MidnightMemories #TheyNeverLetMeDown #DirectionerForever

Another day, another bomber jacket. Apologies to the haters, but I just luv 'em :) This one is more like a heavy-duty cardigan which makes it lovely and cosy to wear, plus it goes with every kind of jean, jegging, legging and jogger. Winner! I went for my boyfriend jeans here, (pure laziness- plus ca change) but I think this look might've shot better with straight up ripped black skinnies in retropsect. Hope you have a lovely weekend, catch you soon xx

The Bomb Dot Com

So, my hauled check sweater has made it into an outfit post, and I have to say I'm luvin' it :) But I've got even more love for my newest jacket purchase- the navy bomber. I adore bomber jackets more than life itself* (spot the slight over-exaggeration) and I'm the very happy owner of several. But I just had to get this 'un to add to my collection. Naturally, one of Little Mix have already been papped in it (gah), but I've got to just suck it up that I keep choosing the same pieces as them, I guess :( Shooting this look was a bit of mare to be honest, what with it being cold and sunny, my battery dying on me, as well as trying to balance on really quite high heels and having three gardeners walking up and down in front of my frames- and worse still- trying to get in them! Men eh? Laterz chicks xx

iHaul 2.0

I couldn't resist this shamaze check jumper in Topshop when I hit up Oxford Circus last weekend....all the while thinking and dreaming of this Stella Knit. It's kinda skimpy and not nearly oversized enough for me, but I'll shoot it nonetheless and see how the hell it turns out.

I've actually become a bit of a New Balance addict of late. If I could have 574s in every colour I think I would. These'll probably be the next in my shopping basket. They are ridick comfy and make me that much needed inch or two taller. I've also gone for this heavenly A/W 13 Essie colour 'Vested Interest'. It's perfect.

I also scooped up this top in Zara a couple of weeks back. It kinda puts me in mind of a Trapeze Bag. God, I crave a Trapeze like an Instagram Rich Kid. Phoebe is doing this colourway for S/S 14 so I'm feeling it might have some longevity.

And finally, who can resist burgundy? These Gap coated skinnies are my new go-to. Obvs, I'd love some Kate Bozzie x Topshop leathers or some Izzie x H&M side lace pants but I just got my gas bill and it wasn't a priddy sight. Furthermore, Topshop have changed their beanies this year, and I'mma have a hissy fit about this unfortunate development. Mostly coz the new ones are scratchy and pre-turned-up. Still, the shape is better than most and actually fits my fat swede. Get yours here.

What have you been hauling recently? Hit me up with your purchase news :) Catch you soon lovelies xx
