Covered in Bart

My birthday was just a few weeks ago; consequently I have been spoilt with lovely gifts and generous sums of money. I decided to head down to Camden for a shopping trip because let's face it, there's no better place to spend birthday money. When I saw this Denim Bart shirt at Camden Market, I could hardly contain my excitement. I'd seen it before on various clothing websites, but I must admit being a bit of a coward when it comes to online purchasing. I much prefer being able to see and asses an item before I buy it. I can't be the only one. I only paid £15 for the shirt - another perk of face-to-face buying! I lulululuuuve this shirt and will probably be living in it for the next few weeks!

 

 

Flower Crown: New Look

Shirt: Camden Market

Skirt: River Island

Shoes: sportsdirect

 

 

This outfit is super relaxed and casual, but the addition of a flower crown gives it that touch of femininity. Lately, I've become quite the flower wearer and I must admit that nothing makes me melt more than dyed hair with flowers. Speaking of hair, I must apologise; I need to sort mine out. It's all over the place!

 

Hopefully... hopefully... you've noticed that this set of pictures is of better quality than usual. I bought a new camera - courtesy of my generous family, of course! Soooo, I'm hoping that will make my posts a teeny bit more bearable.

Leggings Are Not Trousers (and Leibster Award!)

Today's look is smart-casual with the combination of a tweed blazer from Camden and some leggings. I'm afraid I cannot say where I purchased these leggings - it was somewhere in London...
This tube skirt rarely gets worn, but today I thought it worked well with the rest of the outfit (I'm definitely not a fan of the 'leggings as trousers' look). Also, I love that the colours on the leggings emphasise the two-toned Zara boots.

 

* As you can see, I'm still having some problems with my picture layout. Hopefully I'll figure out a way to fix this issue soon.*

I love the slits in the sleeves of this River Island blouse, although they are highly impractical for carrying out everyday tasks. Oh well. I look super short in these pictures. Oh well.

Hope you like it!

Ruggers

 I'd like to thank my army of white blood cells for finally making advances on whatever was making me ill. Today I wore my new South Africa rugby shirt; getting ready for Six Nations tomorrow! I know SA isn't one of the Six Nations, but this is the only rugby shirt I own..

The specs of green and turquoise in this corduroy H&M skirt really compliment the shirt, and I paired it with my River Island flatforms to give it some edge.
I hope you like it:)
