Outfit of the Day...and Yay for the first sunny bank holiday ever!






that's me, demonstrating my...erm....swag?



This is my OOTD from last Monday which was SUNNY!!! WOOOO! Unless you live in England, you probably won't understand how amazing this moment was but...it was seriously like the first EVER sunny and fairly warm bank holiday!

So i took full advantage of the rare oppertunity to wear a summery outfit and it felt so good! :)

I wore.....

a flowery crop top from Topshop (it is actually a pyjama top but it's waaayyy too nice to wear to bed so yeah I wear it out!)

my denim jacket is from American Eagle (I have blogged about it before: http://sparklybluesandrainbowshoes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/denim-jacket.html )
floral bodycon skirt with a zip down the front from H&M
flowery box bag from Primark
and nude coloured loafers from Next

I actually liked this outfit once I had it on but I sort of just put random things together and changed a few bits as I was going along until I got to this. It is unusual for me not to have things match each other's colour and pattern cos I am like obsessed with matchy-matchy things! But I sort of broke away from that a bit (for me) and in this case, I liked it :)

Yep...I look quite excited about my loafers!





Denim Jacket

I've never been a big fan of denim jackets at all...but this particular one caught my eye in American Eagle.

First off I think that lightwash denim jackets can be quite nice with the right outfit and really suit certain things especially during the summer with a dress for example and are good as in England we never seem to have warm summers! So when I first saw it, I was unsure of how much I actually liked it....until I turned it around to see an orange/red themed aztec style print design embrodiered on the back, and then I instantly loved it! It was $60 in American Eagle which is about £40, probably quite reasonable. The only bad thing I have found is that the sleeves are a bit too long for me but they are okay, and my arms are kinda short sooo yeah! 

Also, my mum bought me these shoes a little while ago, not too sure where from but apparently they were £5 which is really good! At first I wasn't too sure about them but I wore them last week with this jacket and because of the design on the back they go really well! In the picture they look kinda shiny and the colour doesn't exaclty show but they are matte sort of coraly-red brogues and quite unusual. I was worried they would look like clown shoes but with the right outfit and kept fairly simple they actually looked nice and went well! Reem Reem Reem :)

Outfit of the day -Autumn- Love for the jumpers!

So today is my dads birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! And being November it is that coldish and slightly rainy weather where you look weird if you wear a massive coat with gloves, hats and scarves etc but it's too cold to have short sleeves and a skirt so I decided on a jumper, jeans, brogues and a black leather jacket as we were only going Shopping and out to lunch at this cafe. 

 My jumper is from Miss Selfridge and was £39, I got size 8 and I'm quite tall (5ft 10) and the sleeves fit me fine, so many shops don't cater for people with long arms it's frustrating.

My jeans are from a make called "Villa" and are grey and white leopard print style. I'd never actually heard of the make Villa jeans before I bought them, I had been looking for some jeans that were long enough for my legs but still were a bit different and interesting for a few month now, I had kind of given up when someone suggested having a look at the brands section in House Of Fraser so I went in and had a look and found these. They were 34inch length (the tallest they went up to) and they actually reached my ankles which is always good. I got size small and that fit me having a size 26 inch waist, so I'm guessing small is about a size 8 UK. I've washed them a few times now and they haven't shrunk or faded at all so I'm pretty sure they are a qualitatively make.

Trying to get shoes to go with these jeans isn't easy especially as I only have one pair of black shoes which are suitable to wear in winter on a day to day basis, so I decided to wear some brown brogues from New Look (£15), It wasn't a perfect match but it still went, to be honest brogues go with almost everything so it was fine.

And last because it was raining I decided to wear my black leather jacket from New Look that I bought a few years ago, not to sure on the price but New Look aren't expensive and they usually sell black leather jackets at this time of the year so if you wanted one I would suggest there. 

In the end I'm glad I wore the jacket because while I was out it started raining and anyone with thick frizzy hair knows even the smallest bit of rain can make hair look like a complete disaster, so yes the hood saved me there! :)
