Spring Days in Burgundy

How beautiful has the weather been recently? It certainly motivates me to get on with things! It's hard to feel sluggish when the weather is so pretty. Not only did I take this opportunity to shoot some blog pictures, but I also used to bring my little doggy outside! He's not one for the outdoors, but a little bit of fresh air does him good. (Also, he makes my pictures extra cute).

I understand the sunshine wasn't exactly calling for winter shades, but I'm not sure I'm quite ready to bring out the bright colours yet! Although I do see it in the offing..

I decided to pair my gorgeous ASOS sale trousers with this little burgundy check jacket. The jacket is super lightweight, but is made of a very fine knit material, so enough to keep you warm when there's a chill! This is from South Avenue and is an absolute bargain! (PS, you can get 20% off the store using the code 'NICOLE20', you're welcome!).

I layered up a couple of Missguided jersey tops to add a little texture, as I thought just a plain black top would be boring and basic. (Not cool).

PS, sorry for the multitude of pictures of my dog, he's just so damn fabulous.

SUIT UP

Since me and my boyfriend luckily had a day off together, he very kindly offered to shoot a few sets of pictures for me! Yay!  I brought my dog with me today, and he hated it, oops. He's not really an 'outdoorsy' dog, preferring the comfort of his own home with lots of warmth and snuggles. I don't blame him in this instance, the bitter cold was atrocious. We soldiered on, however!
I've had this Pretty Little Thing matching suit for a couple of weeks now, and it has been worn a little too much. It's my go-to outfit at the moment, and it's seen me through the Christmas Markets, a very exciting photoshoot with Branded Lab PR, a day's shopping, and numerous other occasions. It would be inappropriate of me not to show it to you all, as it's been such a favourite of mine. Although you can't see it because of my jumper, the trousers are high-waisted and incredibly flattering. I find it such an easy suit to wear as it consists of two very basic colours, therefore I can throw in any colour I like!
As it is undeniably cold, I paired suit with my new H&M jumper. I wasn't particularly pleased to be spending £30 on a jumper, but I went back to it on four different occasions, so obviously I couldn't leave it behind. 
I've really been loving Pretty Little Thing at the moment, and frequently find myself browsing all of their beautiful clothes. I made another purchase over the Black Friday weekend, and I'll be showing that in my next post!

FLAMINGO TWO PIECE

Ahhhhh hello! It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. I've had a busy time with work meaning i'm left with very minimal free time, and I've had a very busy time battling body issues.. to say the least.  Anyway, I am back and I have lots of colourful outfits lined up to post about. I'm a full-time shopper, and I don't plan on quitting anytime soon, so I manage to accumulate quite a lot of gorgeous pieces and this two-piece is by far one of my current favourites! I frequently peer into my wardrobe, longing to wear this, however I wanted to wait for the perfect weather, (which just so happened to be today).  I ordered this from an online handmade clothing store Someday By Laura for £22. I've been after this flamingo print two-piece for so long, and for such a good price, how could I say no? I received amazing service from the company, and the product arrived wrapped in a cute little silky pink bow which was a lovely bonus! I can't wait to strut around Greece in this two-piece, (ooh thats rhymes!). As you can probably tell, I cannot resist these amazing La Moda sandals which have been featured quite a lot on my blog! They're just so perfect for any outfit. I'm majorly lusting after the white ones as I'm seriously lacking a pair of chunky white sandals.  The final little accessory is these super cute white round sunnies from Primark. I already own the black pair, and when I spotted the white ones, I had to pick up a pair, (or two).  Let's just say i'm the Queen and sunglasses are my throne, and this is why i'm only allowed cheap ones! 
As a side note, my dog loves to be in my pictures for some reason, so I thought i'd better feature him. Also, my bra of choice, (sports bra), was not ideal for this outfit as you can tell!
