Growing up and stuff: OOTD edition

Blazer: Newlook

Top: Boohoo

Trousers: Newlook

Boots: Carvela via TK Maxx

Bag: Kate Spade

Ring: Kate Spade

Watch: Fossil

Well I guess I lied in my last post, seriously it's November what is with this freak weather we are having at the moment. Saturday was gloriously sunny and I didn't make the most of it in the slightest (apart from using it to take photos) I spent the day in Bluewater shopping centre with my mum. I may have come home with the Sensationail gel starter kit, but that's a post for another day.

If you have seen my OOTD's of late-you probably would have noticed that I am very much into my blazers at the moment. A plain cami and a bright blazer is my favourite combo for almost any occasion.

This particular blazer has made an appearance in a fair few posts now, I just love everything about it, but this post is all about my new beautiful items that haven't yet made their debut on strawberryteacake. First and foremost, the two stunning items from Kate Spade, both of which were birthday presents a couple of weeks. This bag makes me feel like an adult, how strange does that sound? What I mean is-this is the first real grown up costmorethan30pounds bag I have ever owned and it makes me feel mature (leave me alone it made sense in my head.)

Then comes these beautiful beautiful boots, that may or may not have been a little birthday present to myself (they were), but seriously how could I resist these babies. BONUS- they were only £80! Which I think is an amazing price for these boots THANKS TK Maxx for being the best shop ever.

Last but not least, these trousers are the most comfortable things in the entire world, stretchy like a legging but flattering like a pair of trousers, I think Cameo Rose/Newlook are on to a winning combination. Now if only the pattern matched on the seams, they would be 100% perfect. Damn working in fashion. 

Hope you had a fab weekend guys, sorry this is late, I got a little carried away carving pumpkins on Thursday and then the weekend flew by, whoops.

Blazer: New Look

Top: Wallis

Jeans: New Look

Shoes: Office

Necklace: Miss Selfridge

Say hello to the last summery outfit of the year - it's time to get out the burgundy's and the grey's and put all the neons away till next year. (Although the occasional bright nail and lip may still occur). It's officially getting cold and dark, and winter is well on it's way which is fine by me. I adore Autumn but I just haven't been able to pull out the warm coats and scarves yet which ruins it a little for me. Hopefully November will restore my love for Autumn - fires and chunky knits are much awaited!

I nabbed this blazer a month or so ago in the New Look sale at a stupidly cheap price. I know this print/colourway has been everywhere this summer but I just didn't really get into it at first. However, we all know I love a blazer and wear them at least 4 times a week so I couldn't really pass this by could I? 

I have a pretty chilled dress code at work so jeans and blazers are my go to outfit if I happen to snooze my alarm one too many times, which may happen more often than it should. Time to hunt down some more Autumny blazers now perhaps?

Hang in there

T-shirt: Sample

Skirt: Instyle

Shoes: Office

Necklace: My sisters

Hello hello, I have to admit this outfit makes me feel like I look like my sister. Mostly because the necklace is hers, the skirt was hers and I had her in mind when I brought back this top from work, ha!

Seen as this 'hang in there' top is cropped and I don't have the bod for it, I paired it with this super high waisted PU skater skirt, and it was definitely more flattering than I thought it would be! I picked up these lovely suede shoes for £25 in the Office sale! What a bargain, however I have to say, they aren't the most comfortable so I am attempting to break them in before I wear them for whole days.

It's safe to say my next OOTD post will include more of my own clothes seen as Lauren has now moved out and taken all her clothes with her! How dare she-am I supposed to buy my own clothes now?!

See you all next week.

Orange squares

Top: Work Sample

Jeans: Hollister

Shoes: Newlook

Stag Necklace: USC

Daisy Hairband: Newlook

Hello hello, i'm back with a lazy Sunday type outfit. A nice little perk of my job is the freebie samples every so often. This time it was a boxy orange sleeved top - everything that I probably wouldn't ever buy for myself. I'm not 100% sure it's particularly flattering to be photographed in, but it is comfy which comes higher for me, ha! Paired with casual ripped jeans I added a pair of bright shoes and this cute little hair accessory to try and make it slightly more presentable - has it worked?

See you Saturday for a new post

Dog tooth and pretty jewellery

Trousers: River Island

Top: Boohoo

Shoes: Wallis

Watch: Fossil

Necklace: Newlook

 

Oh hey, I am making the most of the nice weather so you'll have to excuse the continuous OOTD posts. I picked up these trousers about a month ago and I am obsessed with them. Unfortunately they're hand wash only and i'm super lazy so they've been hanging out in the corner of my room for about a week. I went into town with Jake yesterday afternoon and whilst he got his haircut he left me unattended and I may have sneaked off to Newlook and picked up a few things, on top of the massive order I placed on Thursday. HEHE. Anywho last night I went to dinner with my mumma and had to wear one of my new pieces. Cue my gorgeous pink and blue necklace that I already adore and know I will wear all the time. I know I'm a little overdressed for dinner but after slobbing around for the last few weekends I just really wanted to wear some nice clothes and put on a nicer face ha!

90's gladiator

Dress: Boohoo

Sandles: Boohoo

Okay, so I didn't realise this outfit was a little Boohoo crazy. It was so fricking hot on Sunday, and typically I decided to take outfit posts. ERROR. So, I went to my wardrobe and picked an outfit which would touch my skin the least. Enter this swing dress. It's super light and airy, and made me the least sweaty in the 30 degree heat. Paired with my new high strap sandles and very 90's hair, and I actually quite liked the look. Unfortunately my bra does show a little at the back so I can't wear it to work without a jacket :(

Daisy's and candy stripes

Top: TK Maxx

Skirt: Primark

Shoes: Asos

Watch: Fossil

Earrings: River Island

Hello hello, just a quick outfit post for you today. It is gorgeously sunny in London today and I'm going to be spending my day in an office that is like a greenhouse so I opted for a very light breezy outfit. I spotted this skirt in Primark when i was out doing research for work. Seen as I had braved Oxford Street in the middle of the day I thought it was perfectly acceptable to do a little bit of shopping, no? 

I bought the blue one and also a black one with little printed postcards and I really love both of them. Midi skirts are so easy to wear and are great for work as well as going out which is ideal for me. The top is from Tk Maxx via my mum's wardrobe. 

My favourite part of this outfit are the little daisy earrings that I picked up for £2 in River Island and my pink candy striped nails (post hopefully coming next Tuesday on these)

Spring jumps

Jumpsuit: Miss Selfridge

Jumper: Mummy's wardrobe

Shoes: H&M

Watch: Fossil

GUESS WHAT I'M IN LANZAROTE RIGHT NOW. Are you jealous, are ya? Although I bet that now I have left the country you'll all be having lovely weather. Boo ;)

I bought this jumpsuit last October for my birthday. I was a little bit dubious as to how much i'd wear it, but I have to say, I wear it a lot more than I expected. Its just so easy to throw on with a jumper like above or a blazer (and it requires not a lot of brain power) However, I don't wear it to work because my god its a pain in the bum when i go to the loo!

I stole the jumper from Mum's wardrobe, shhhh. It's quite light and there was a bit of a breeze outside so it was the perfect add on. Paired with bright nails and some bright purple pumps, I was feeling pretty summery. 

I have taken the jumpsuit on holiday, so you never know, I could be wearing it right now...

Orange check

Skirt: Matalan

Top: Wallis

Blazer: Newlook

Boots: Newlook

I know I know, my bum does look big in this - but how beaut is this skirt. It may be knitted but it's still perfect for this current spring weather (I say as it rains outside). Funnily enough I bought this skirt about a month ago and had decided to return it. Then I forgot and the receipt ran out...but i'm really glad I ended up keeping it, and as long as I always stand side on it doesn't make me look too huge ;)

Sunnies: Wallis

The sun has finally come out from hibernation, and we can all start to head out without our scarves and coats. Phew. As you may have noticed, I am pretty pale so I am not particularly eager to get my legs out as soon as the sun shines. I am however, a big fan of rolled up jeans and pretty shoes. I picked these sweet little nude ankle strap flats from Matalan last week and I love that they can add a little extra to an otherwise plain outfit. Paired simply with my chunky watch and fox head ring, this will very quickly be a starting point for a lot of my spring outfits.

Velvet love

Dress: USC

Necklace: USC

Tights: Primark

Boots: Mummy's wardrobe (Matalan)

 

I've never been a huge fan of velvet but I adore this dress. The colour is gorgeous, it's not too short and it's a skater skirt style. It's not often that I find a dress that ticks all the boxes, plus it was only £12 in the sale. Absolute bargain.

I can pair it with a blazer for work, heels and a clutch for a night out or, like in this picture, boots and statement jewellery for a day out (doing more shopping of course)
