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!

COTTDSXCANON OUTFIT ENTRY

One of my favourite blogs COTTDS, is running an AMAZING collaboration with Canon, on instagram, to win a TDF (to die for) SLR camera. Come to Mama! 

Above is the picture I entered, but I thought I'd share some of the other shots as well.

The boy was not on hand this weekend, so my gorgeous friend Anna stepped in with her fabulous iphone snapping skills.

Im actually a little bit in love with this outfit. The jacket, I've already shamelessly declared my love for in a previous post and the dress is my 'go to' at the moment as it's got this great boxy shape, BUT, mostly I loved this outfit because I got to revel in the fact that it was hugely impractical to be wearing socks with open toe wedges on a rainy Saturday afternoon! Next I'm going to try some chunky cable knit slouchy socks. 

Wish me luck!

Back to Black

Eeeep! I have been hunting for the PERFECT leather jacket (which also wouldn't completely bankrupt me) and the magic that is Zara must have heard me!

I really like the biker jacket shape but I wanted something a bit more contemporary and I think the singular exaggerated lapel is a great tweak. The leather is gorgeously soft too.

I literally haven't taken it off since it arrived in the post!

What great buys have you made recently?
