L'AMOUR TOUJOURS - LOVE, ALWAYS

There is this fabulous block of heritage phone boxes on the Prom in Cheltenham that I have been eyeing up to use in a post ever since I spotted them when I moved here 6 months ago. Usually I try to do my photos in the middle of nowhere as I feel utterly ridiculous trying to pose for shots, emphasis on the trying, as  I always hate the posed ones (I have an unparalleled tenlent for involuntary gurning) and end up using the shots the boy takes when I'm faffing around getting into position. 

Nehooo, despite the gawking from half the high street and getting in the way of everyone, I am so chuffed with how the shots came out. Who knew Mustard, Red and Leopard print would be such an awesome combo! 

My fave item is my new grey body, I brought it on impulse as I loved the lettering and the combination of the low back with long sleeves. Next I think I'll style it with boyfriend jeans and heels or maybe a leather mini, sneakers and a neon blazer hmmm... 

What do you think?

Costal Knit

Just a few snaps from Christmas day. Me and my family always go to the beach come rain or shine (thankfully it was more shine than rain this year) 

Christmas day is all about being comfy for me & I'm totally in love with this gorgeous knit, don't you just love the texture. 

I usually don't wear pink, in fact, I never do, but I think I may have been persuaded over to the pink-side!

Have you made any purchases out of your normal comfort zone recently?

Simply Said

Let me introduce you to my new trews, I don't really know if I can pull them off, but they were an absolute bargain and I kinda love them, so I've decided they do! Half the battle with clothes and wearing new trends is having the confidence to wear them, well I think so anyway. So wear them I shall, in fact have been pretty much every day since they accidentally jumped into my arms when I was supposed to be Christmas shopping! Oops!

Nehoo, I have worn them almost non stop since, I like pairing them with a boyfriend tee and a causal jacket and of course the obligatory beanie. In fact that probably goes for most items in my wardrobe!

Laid-back Glitter

The festive season is fast approaching and every store on the high street is busting out the glitter, shimer and shine. It's literally like every outfit has been attacked by a Bedazzler! (LOVE IT!) 

I am like a magpie and all reason goes out of the window at this time of year, because I convince myself I NEED EVERYTHING! The only trouble is I hardly ever do anything that requires the level of bling promised by the exquisitely styled window displays. 

I am, therefore, on a mission to incorporate some sparkle into my everyday wardrobe, much to the boy's dismay as I am like a glitter fairy in this skirt, it gets EVERYWHERE, seriously it's a wonder that there was any glitter left to shoot for these photos. 

(I secretly love it though - tee he he)
