Parisian Chic?

The dream - to live somewhere with beautiful houses and locations for insane shoot back drops!
This outfit could of done with being shot in the streets of London, but unfortunately I live in a town in the countryside! You make do with what you've got I guess.

Anyway, onto the outfit. these trousers!! I mean I could scream and shout about these all day long, they are FABULOUUSSSS! With a pant like this you cannot take the attention away from them at all, so I went for a trusty black polo neck jumper and my gorgeous fluffy heels. For that extra bit of warmth I popped on my cream fur coat from Topshop, which I believe is now in the sale, so snatch that up before it's too late!

Bettys Little Shop of Heaven*

Happy Friday guys! 

This is a different kind of post tonight. I'm wanting to branch out from my typical outfit posts (which I love), but I think a spot of beauty, fitness and food may not go a miss as well. 

So this post is about a new love of mine. Bettys is a company I have recently come across, it's an adorable online patisserie. It sells the most precious treats, one of which being macaroons. Like most girls, macaroons are without a doubt a fave of mine! BUT unfortunately I live in the Midlands and nowhere, yes I mean nowhere, sells macaroons. I'm talking about the good kind you find in Laduree, London. So finding somewhere that I can go to for macaroons is a fab discovery and being able to order them from the comfort of my own bed is just a bonus. 

To me macaroons scream sophistication and class and Bettys branding reflects this representation so well. Their packaging is just beautiful and the flavours, wow! My favourites from what I've eaten so far has to be the green pistachio and pink raspberry but they are all without fault, trust me! Massive thank you to Dan for sending me a box of 12*.

I suggest if you get a craving for macaroons or any other sweet treat for that liking then make sure you check out their site, you won't be disappointed!

The Flares

I've had to urge myself just to write this post, so it will probably take another massive push to post it, but we will see.

You know when you just don't know whether you look like you? I've been after a pair of flared jeans for ages now and I finally got my hands on an indigo coloured pair from Topshop. I became inspired from Megan Ellaby the Asos stylist but I failed to remember that I'm not actually her and cannot pull everything off! Oops!

Well anyway, I styled the pants with a casual tee which I love, I'm literally wearing it to death! My white Nike Air Force 1s, (which I think may have been a mistake, maybe a nice pair of heeled boots would have been better) and my new favourite mac! This coat is to die for, I saw it in Topshop before Christmas when I was shopping with my boyfriend and we both knew it had to be mine, so it quickly became one of my Christmas gifts off of him! Yay!

I'm not 100% sure about this look but I thought who else would help me better than my wonderful followers, so let me know what you think please guys!

Racing Stripes

Happy Saturday guys! Hope you're all having a good weekend. I normally shop on Saturdays but it was my Grandad's birthday today so I've been out for lunch/dinner instead. However, fear not, I will be shopping tomorrow instead! (I have a problem, help me!)

So this outfit is one of my faves and one that I find myself wearing quite often, if I'm going out for a drink or for a meal. I've wanted a pair of black trousers with a white stripe up the side for a while now, but I could never find any that I thought were 'the ones', until I went into Marks and Spencers. I don't shop at M&S if I'm honest, I went in with my boyfriend who was looking at their suit and jackets, when I saw them. They looked perfect! I didn't have time to try them on, but I bought them anyway and they exceeded my expectations! It made me think, maybe I shouldn't be dismissing M&S so quickly?

I paired them with this jumper which I found in Next. Yes that's right, it isn't a co-ord! But I think they work really well together. I also wore my new 'their so fluffy I could die' shoes and my gorgeous personalised turquoise clutch bag, which I think adds the perfect pop of colour to the outfit. My VERY talented Aunty made this bag for me and I couldn't be more grateful, I love it.
