I love animals!!!

I am a complete and utter animal lover. I'm the girl that wants to stop and give the pigeon I've just hit a funeral on the side of the country road. My boyfriend literally thinks it's hilarious that whilst watching David Attenborough I have to hide under the blanket when the animal catches its prey. Don't get me wrong I'm very aware of the circle of life but I just can't watch it - it makes me sad! Ha.

My house is full of cute animal trinkets, the main ones being stags but I've got foxes, rabbits, lambs, birds... My goodness think of animal, there's a good chance I've got it! 

When I saw this top I knew I had to have it! I'm not a massive lover of actual animal print clothing such a leopard but prints of animals? You can be sure I will be eating beans on toast for dinner for a week if it means I can have it. So when I spotted this for £18 (yes it really is only £18) it was straight into my shopping basket without any hesitation. 

It's a lightweight jersey material with a rounded neckline and curved hem. Im usually around a size 6 but because this is rather loose fitting I exchanged it for a size smaller.

These grey petite jeans fit me like a glove, I have to confess they're the first jeans I have ever ordered from asos but I've completly fell in love with them - due to my leg length and how ridiculously skinny my legs are I can usually only get them from topshop!

Top - Asos £18.00

I realise these images are not really 'blog' standard but I've had so many emails asking me where this top is from that I just wanted to get this onto my blog as soon as possible for you guys!

Faux leather and velvet

So with Christmas just around the corner it's difficult to make sure that you have plenty of outfits for all your different occasions, I'm always SO worried I'm going to turn up somewhere and be in the same outfit as someone. It's literally one of my worst nightmares!!

Missguided is certainly one of my favourite sites for adorable on season trends however you can almost gaurentee you're going to spot someone in the same outfit if not extremely similar! I will be saving this one for when I'm with a small group of people so that the chances someone else will be wearing it are slimmer haha!

This deep v plunge bodysuit in velvet is certainly a eye grabber - it's backless and SO comfy. I'm completly in love with the dusty pink colour of it - I'm such a culprit of buying everything in black. 

This fake leather skirt is the perfect autumn colour we are all lusting over, the fact that it's a midi dress makes its more elegant however adding in that thigh high split has made it super sexy! 

Velvet bodysuit £20.00

Faux leather skirt £20.00

DS London mini sienna bag!

Oh how I do love a new little present, and I am certainly a handbag kind of girl, so opening this on Monday sure as hell made my morning! I'm pretty particular when it comes to handbags - I mean don't get me wrong I have handbags which are not leather but I certainly won't part a lot of cash for them and they're not my everyday go to bags. You can pick this mini sienna clutch up for just £39.99 yep you read that correctly £39.99!!!

DS London is a new accessorie brand run from a studio in London. Founder, designer and maker Jenni Davis has mastered something completely timeless and universal. DS London specialise in both luxury bags and holdalls for both women and men. All of their products are of an excellent quality, all individually hand made and extremely affordable. It's one thing to be based in Britain but they also source all of their leather, thread etc here too. For me personally, I always feel so much happier parting cash knowing the product is close to home. I LOVE knowing that my bag is handmade and completly unique. 

I mean this bag right here is 100% leather and arrived in the cutest dust bag with leather logo attached. When you have as many bags as I do, it's essential they're stored well away from dust/sunlight if you're not going to be using them daily. 

Jenni has kept all her bags extremely elegant and simple so that they can be completely timeless - none of these bags are going to "go out" of fashion, however they offer a completely bespoke service if you're looking to add some of your own design in there or for a loved one! 

“Our Collections are not mass produced. Each bag is delicately hand crafted in our studio with care and attention, with only the best making it to the shop. We only use the softest nappas, suedes and hides, alongside specialist equipment to construct our accessories. This enables us to be sure our products are of the highest standards. As each item is handmade, no two are the same. Each one slightly unique which only makes us love our products even more.” - Jenni Davis

The adorable little leather keyrings that range from just £6.99 - £15.00 are such lovely stocking fillers and I for sure already have plans on purchasing them way in advance of Christmas! 

I stumbled across this brand on Instagram and fell in love with them primarily because for you that know me, I'm addicted to stags! My house is full of stag accessories. I adore the logo Jenni has come up with and when I saw the price of something so beautiful and handmade I couldn't believe it! I completely adore the mink colour and they are now doing a made to order metallic which is perfect for your Christmas party this year!

Hello cheeky jeans!

So it's all about the ripped jeans right now, however if you fancy being cheeky (excuse the pun) and a little more daring how about these jeans?

They have rips both to the rear and knees and are sold as skinny jeans, I am pretty small but regardless I think these are more of a 'boyfriend' fit, the fraying to the ankles fits in perfectly. Granted these are not your typical go to every day jeans but matched with a crop top and some heels you will certainly be getting noticed on a night out! 

I've teamed them with a pair of missguided snake print open toed heels and every girl loves stealing their guys clothes, I'm surely not the only one? This speckled print top keeps the look a little more casual. 

What are your thoughts? I certainly won't be wearing these down the local pub!

Missguided tux dress

Ive always wanted a tux dress and at £40 how could I have possibly said no to this little missguided number?

It's long sleeved, has two little pockets and gold button detailing. The collar is a soft silk. This is a size 4 and I do find it a little snug across the back but it fits well around the waist. I haven't worn this as a dress I've just been wearing it as a jacket which looks absolutely gorgeous, the gold detailing means I can carry it through to the evening. The only thing I would comment on is the fact I have the tiniest wrists you may ever see and this is a nightmare to try and get off, it's SO tight! 

My strappy wedges I have blogged about before are from next and are only £28! 

That's a whole outfit (besides bag) for £68! Not forgetting this isn't a dress you will buy and never wear again letting collect dust in your closet - you can wear it over and over as a jacket! 

Cute but pysho

My most recent obsession has got to be slogan t-shirts. I can't get enough of them. White slogan tee, ripped jeans and a pair of trainers - perfect! You will be seeing plenty more of these from me!

Snake print

I love an outfit that you can wear from day to night, something that's casual thoughout the day but won't have you rushing home to get changed when you're invited out for a "drink or two"

I think this outfit is perfect! I've personally gone off animal print this year but I adore this top! It's even got a cute little overlapped back to it. I'm SUCH a sucker for a nice back! I always feel it just gives it that little something extra! I'm actually wearing this top in a size 16! I wanted an extra baggy fit but with the help of a little waist belt I can always adjust it. 

Oh wow how cute are these little shoes? They have a tweed look to them, I think they look casual but at the same time very smart! The patent little tassels at the front are my favourite! 

My all time favourite handbag is my Lamb 1887. Anybody who knows me personally knows I have a little girl who's nickname is Lamb so anything with a lamb logo instantly catches my eye. I got this for my birthday and it was so hard to choose which one to go for, I adore alllll of their bags, however this one is nude with gold details to it which I think is nice change from my endless amounts of black handbags! 

Top - Dorothy Perkins £22

Jeans - Topshop £42 

Shoes - Dune head over heels £35

Handbag - Lamb 1887 £195

Strappy heaven!

Anything lacey or strappy is at the top of my to buy list right now. I'm completely addicted!!

We now have a new next store in Norwich at long water lane. In all honestly I can't recall the last time I bought clothes from next for myself however, I love the home and shoe department! I've always been a massive fan of heels from next, they're always current and so reasonably priced. I had to fight someone for the last pair of these! 

SO comfy, I love the fact they're a wedge. They look lovely for both work and going out for the night in, for £28 they where an absolute steal!
