Millennial Pink

Pink Teddy Bear Coat - Topshop
Stripe Jumper - Next
Over the knee boots - New Look

The Teddy Bear Coat has no doubt got to have been the coat of the season, so when I spotted this perfect pink number in the Topshop sale I knew it would be the answer to my winter sartorial dreams!   Long, cosy and unstructured, with dreamy big statement buttons, it's just like wrapping yourself up in a fluffy warm hug. I'm so in love with the millennial pink colour of it too, err so yes... millennial pink is very much a thing it seems now, but when I've come to write about it I've got to hold my hands up and admit, I've had no idea how to describe it! To think that a new shade of pink has been created when there are a helluva lot of shades already out there is a bit cray, but I can assure you millennial babes, it has very much been given the thumbs up as a pantone shade in its own right. Glamour have described it as 'Pink with the blue taken out of it,' whilst the Guardian have dubbed it a 'grapefruit shade of apricot salmon'. Hmmm, doesn't quite have the same tasty appeal when you describe it like that does it? But either way I am very much a fan so, welcome to my wardrobe millennial pink! You'll no doubt have seen it up and down the catwalk to basically gracing everything on the rails in Zara!

The best thing about this coat is it will go with so many items in your wardrobe! Greys, pinks, black, white and denim blues, you name it and this pink baby has got your back. I've teamed it with a beaut stripe sweater from Next that boasts all my fave the pastel shades and these super comfy grey jeans and OTK boots from New Look (similar here). (Also an ideal way to add some extra warmth on a cold day I might add) and we all need that now January is not giving us a break from the cold!  So on that note, I'm off to grab myself a mug of hot chocolate and start scouring the Spring collections to find some more pops of millennial pink to add to my wardrobe - its no doubt here to stay this SS18 and I couldn't be happier about it!

 

Blazer and Breton Stripes

Weigh Anchor! I can't help but feel a little Sailor-esq in this classics outfit I paired up the other day! This stripey linen breton striped tee from Topshop has been a bit of a fave staple at the mo, amazing to pop on with jeans, cardigans-you name it, but I'm sure you guys already know that as it's a bit of a basic in every gal's wardrobe! And of course, the fitted blazer is another one of those everyday essentials! I got this blazer for Christmas but with all the rubbish weather we've been having I've not managed to wear it much! It's from Mango and has such a cute cut to it. I love the ribbon lapels and sharp lines! I know what you're thinking.. another jacket?! Honestly though I wish I could have a whole wardrobe of them! Make-up wise I went fairly natural with some new goodies I will share with you all soon! I also added a dash of my MAC Ladybug Lipstick which I still love and have had for ageess now. I'm going to be sad the day my trusty red ends!

If you were born in the 80's

Heyyy Mixbagers!  Below are a few quick snaps of a casual day outfit I wore recently to my internship when Spring was trying to make its way through! I have no idea what happened to my hair that day - but it seems to have gone XXL so I look like I'm channeling a bit of an 80's vibe with big hair and a denim shirt haha!  

I'm wearing my fave little mini dress from Topshop (honestly it's so good for layering, you can easily pop it under jumpers, or with cardigans etc!) denim shirt from Oasis and Cross Necklace from Matalan. I hadn't shopped in Matalan for... errr actually I couldn't tell you how long ago, but found some great and very cheap little jewellery pieces in there when I popped in last month, so I recommend it if you need to pick up a couple of things at a purse friendly price! I've teamed this casual look with my classic heeled boots from Miss Selfridge and felt super comfy! I'm not wearing any bracelets or rings which is quite unlike me - but because I work all day on a laptop they only clang against the desk so I figured it was probably for the sake of the office I didn't wear my usual amount!

Back to Black

Hiya guys! I'm excited to bring you all a new outfit post today as it was so lovely and spring like yesterday, I managed to grab a little bit of time to get out and do some photos! I have been meaning to blog about this dress for aggess as it's been a fave for a few nights out recently! The lovely people at Bravesoul sent it over to me and it's bodycon fit in a peplum style is so flattering and comfortable if ever I get stuck with what to wear, I know it's always a good'un to pop on! The gold stud detailing around the neckline also adds a nice bit of pezazz to the dress so as far as LBD's go, I'm a big fan!

Here I've gone for a bit of a black on black look and worn it with my River Island faux leather sleeve blazer, H&M bowler and Platform Wedge heels from New Look. I saw this blazer just before Christmas in River Island and it was one of things I just had to have. I've loved wearing it with jeans to dresses as it's so easy to dress up or dress down! Make-up wise I added a dash of my new Maybelline Coloursensational lipstick in Fuchsia Flash for a bit of a colour pop to break up the outfit!

Jumper Dress & Chunky Knits

Hello Hello Mixbagers. I can only apologise for my poor posting this past week, I feel like I’ve already put my blogging New Years Resolution in jeopardy and it’s still only bloomin’ January! But anyway onwards and upwards and all that -  the reason I’ve been so busy is I have recently started interning at Motel Rocks HQ for 2 days a week and am still working at my retail job alongside it so it’s all been a tad busy! I’m absolutely loving it though so it makes not having much spare time worth it! You can check out the blog posts I’ve been posting on the Motel blog here, here, here and here.

Jumper Dress // Primark
Knit Scarf // Similar -Topshop
Stud Bag // Similar - New Look
Bird Necklace // Oasis

Above is a quick glance at another of my outfits from the snow days last week! In the winter a jumper dress is definitely one of my favourite outfits, I love nothing more than popping on a comfy jumper dress, leggings and boots! This one was a bit of a steal from Primark for £10, I love its maroon colouring and the feature elbow pads and it’s also been made with a novelty yarn so has a flicker of different colours running through it. (hello textiles info!)The chunky knit scarf which I have worn to death this winter is Topshop and the little bird pendent necklace is from Oasis whilst the stud bag is from New Look.

It feels very strange looking at these snow pictures now the sun is out! Hopefully it’s here to stay though and we can all start looking forward to the Spring Summer season! I've got some product reviews to share with you all shortly as my nail art transfers from WooWoo nails arrived the other week and I've recently bought an amazing Lee Stafford product I want to share with you all :)
