I wanted to show a great example of a lovely rucksack, what do you think?  I purchased this bag while I was on holidays in the summer for the bargain price of 15 Euros....I am sure if it was sold in Topshop it would be double that price.   It is amazing quality and although it is my only rucksack bag I think it goes really well with the grunge style that I am loving at the moment. I had a really quiet weekend as I am saving the pennies for my trip away to Liverpool in two weeks time!! I haven't been back to Liverpool since my graduation 4 years ago, where does the time fly!  I am looking forward to getting a look around the brilliant vintage stores that Liverpool has to offer plus meeting up with all my old uni chums :) I am thinking of using this bag as a carry onto the plane, as it is perfect for all my magazines and snacks.  hope everyone had a good weekend.

Since receiving this lovely top from Everours last week I have been itching to wear it, and tonight was the night! The perfect outfit for midweek dinner with friends....don't you think? I really do love this top, you can't beat a white shirt and I am back into my diesel ripped jeans {I seen an article in Company Magazine that they are having a comeback this year.....love it!} These are what I would now call vintage they are that old! I finished off the outfit with pointed courts from River Island, a timeless style of shoe, and of course my bowler hat which is one of my favorite accessories.

{pick up a parka}

Do you ever just have those days when comfort and warmth are priority? I definitely don't feel overly dressed today, I think I had one of those days where I just wanted warmth from this cold weather we have been having of late. I love this Coat from Topshop {in stores now click here}, it is so versatile, it wasn't cheap and I certainly wasn't lucky enough to get it in the sales, but I find it was good value for money. The coat is seriously warm, which is the reason why I bought it, however, both the fur lining and the inner quilted lining can be removed to leave a light parka that can be worn in the summer {I'm thinking for my festival trips people} so bonus! I wore this outfit to work today, I had kind of gone off skinny jeans/ jeggings or leggings lately as my thighs are not one of my favorite things, {damn Christmas indulgence} but there are occasions when I revert back for the comfort, and these tie dyed leggings are pure comfort.  Is there an item of clothing or outfit you wear that is pure comfort?  I finished of the outfit with what I think is a gorgeous dark plum lipstick from Illamasqua! This outfit is reminiscent of my university days, though I am kind of laughing as I am compiling this post as I think I am channeling a my grunge side...which  I haven't seen for many years lol! 

{Bag lady ~1}

I love bags and I have quite few! I rarely have bags showing in my outfit posts so I've decided to have a couple of posts showing bags I love and use a lot. This pink lovely is from Debenhams {click here} and is a Star by Julian McDonald bag. I have used this bag many times for nights out, as it brings a pop of colour to a classic black dress or it can be a nice clash of colour against a coloured outfit.  I really like the snakeskin effect and the size of the bag is really good for carrying all my essentials including my massive Samsung Galaxy S3 {many clutch bags wont allow for me to carry my phone in them as it doesn't fit lol}.

Hey all, Just a quick 'what I wore' post today...still wearing my hat as you can see {obsessed isn't the word lol} but the main element of this outfit is the pink vintage flannel checked shirt which I wore with a plain black skirt, a classic piece in my wardrobe ❤ tights and Chelsea boots.  I do wear this skirt a lot, especially to work, as I love the fact it has pockets plus it was only like £6.99 from H&M! Could be my favorite outfit at the moment......do you have an outfit that you love wearing? I also wore my Thomas Sabo 'peace' necklace which I got for Christmas and I love so much I rarely take it off these days!  I've just realised that my hair has grown so much the past wee while, its actually in my breast pocket!lol! I'm heading to the cinema with my bestie so gotta run.

I love these vintage inspired navy and white lovelies from Office.  They remind me of shoes my gran might have worn....which is why I love them so much! The monochrome trend is set to be huge over the next couple of months, black and white stripes or squares will keep you on trend and though these are navy (I may be a bit crazy but certainly not colour blind lol!) it's my take on the trend for now lol! Because I love a quirky vintage look {that may not be everyone's cup of tea} I will probably wear these with a midi tube skirt possibly in a burgundy colour, with my new stud collar shirt {click here} and a fur collared jacket and of course no outfit of mine is complete without a bit of red lippy! How would you wear these vintage inspired brogues?

{Everours studs}

I have been looking for a while for the perfect shirt/blouse with studs on the collar.  I had found one in Zara which was gorgeous but unfortunately was out of my budget especially after how much I spent at Christmas. To be clear this is not a sponsored post, I have recently been loving online shopping and came across a brilliant online store Everours, which I was genuinely impressed with!  This shirt was in the sale for £5 {down from £15} plus postage and packaging I think it came to £7.50 in total and a day after purchase this lovely package was brought to my house........

The shirt is perfect because there are a good amount of studs but the collar is not overloaded, and the rose gold colour of the studs is gorgeous against the bright white of the shirt. One thing I have found is that the sizing is a wee bit on the small side.  On the website it had said 'one size' and now the shirt has arrived it is marked 8-10.  I'm guessing after my indulgence at Christmas I could possibly be more a 10-12 at the moment lol! However, I cant wait to wear this gorgeous top, I will wear it under shift dresses and jumpers with skater skirts...how would you wear it??

{pretty little things}

Since I am obsessed with vintage I thought I would share with you some of my favorite rings I wear all the time.  I love wearing lots of rings together, though I find it hard to find rings that I really like.  I have long fingers and can get away with wearing massive statement rings but they are not practical for everyday wear.  This particular collection are by far my favorite that I have found, they are all quite fine and are the same size which means I can double them up on fingers they fit or even try the 'midi' ring trend on the fingers that they don't.  Do you have favorite jewellery you wear all the time?  The last picture is of one of my lovely Christmas pressies, its a gorgeous leather, black gem and stud bag.  I will probably mainly use it as a clutch but it also comes with a silver chain that may come in handy when out on nights out and want to dance with my hands free lol!  As you know I love the whole stud trend so this bag was right up my street and I am going to get lots of wear out of it, love it!  Hope everyone has had a good week :)
