Red Nails, Monochrome Pants.

I wore this outfit for quite an exciting meeting I had this morning hopefully more of which I can divulge soon but for now I will show you what I wore! I love a monochromatic outfit with a pop of colour on the nails. It just feels so classy and chic.

I wanted to present myself as a put together and professional - not a slobby slob! These trousers were an H&M sale find that when I saw them I had to have. Reduced from £24.99 to £10, it was too good to resist really. They are a beautiful light fabric that is perfect for summer time and being a simple white with black print they go with pretty much anything. I am hunting down an orange tshirt/top to really set the print off.

 

Today I teamed them with a simple black linen tank also from H&M, my River Island watch and black pointy toe heels also H&M! Love H&M these days. I added my little pop of colour with Maybeline Colour Show nail polish in 341 Orange Attack. This colour is so beautiful for summer, with a tan and a pretty sun dress. Be gawjus dahling!

Top, Trousers (Sale) and Shoes - H&M

I teamed this outfit with my Oasis Leather Jacket and took my Zara bucket shopper!

Happy Friday!

Pictures from Pinterest

 Not quite a whole outfit or a person but the details in this look play on my senses beyond belief.

The leopard print coat with the ripped jeans & pointy heels. It is just too perfect for words. Definitely a look I would emulate - not too busy or overly styled. Just simple. Put together but with a bit of a rocky edge, I feel like Kate Moss would be right at home in this outfit?

 And just another take on the look! Some more distressed less fitted jeans - both styles I think look great.

I love both looks. Can I just have both the full outfits, please?!

Courts free.

Since finishing university I have used the 'you worked hard at uni, you deserve a treat' excuse too many times. I will hold my hands up and admit that. On a recent trip to Zara Glasgow I couldn't say no to these gorgeous white skirt-shorts. I have seen them on a few bloggers & love the look they give - put together but not too fussy. At £23.99 they are a bargain & will go with so much for day or night!


 

How bloggers have worn it...

I love seeing how other style a piece which is part of the reason for my love for the fashion blogging community. This said I had a quick Google of the Zara skirt short - actually what I googled and selected a few for a little montage. Everyone loves a montage, no?

 

Hopefully the weather perks up a little so I can actually wear this - these?! - little beauty soon.

PS ... courts free is in reference to the belief that this looks a bit like a tennis skirt!

Nail Polish.

Nail polish is a big love of mine. I love looking down to my fingers and seeing a pretty colour shining back at me from my nails. When it comes to nail polish I go from one extreme to another ... one week it will be a love deep oxblood the next a mint green then a bright red followed by the blackest of blacks. What can I say, I love them all!



Bourjous Noir de Chine 
This is a true black. No sparkle just glossy black talons. There is something so chic about a dark nail that I can't quite put my finger on - pardon the pun. Any dark nail really. I only bought Bourjouis as it was in an offer if it hadn't been any brand with a black nail polish would have done nicely.

Rimmel Pink Libertine
This pretty pastel pink was a present from my mum at Easter Time. It isn't something I would normally gravitate towards in the shop but obviously my mum knows me well as I love this colour. It is a beautiful pink that looks gorgeous on the nails.

MUA Pistachio Ice Cream
I'm not sure what I expected for £1 but this little polish is slightly lacking. The colour is a beautiful mint green but it is really runny & sheer. I really only featured it for the colour. Save your pound and spend it else where! 


Miss Sporty Cobalt Blue
I'm not 100% sure on the name of this one  as the label is majorly worn but the colour is a right electric blue - you would known it if you saw it. A cheap favourite that has a great colour pay off. Definitely one for a bright eye catching nail. I've had compliments from boys on this one. One claiming to want to use it as his hair dye colour sample...

What is your favourite nail polish? x

Sundary Diary #18

1. University is officially over! The four years have seriously flown by so crazy to think about everything that has happened these past four year is just too much for my brain! I had an amazing time at university, it seriously is the time of your life so if you are lucky enough to still be at uni or going... enjoy it! Scary thing now is I need to find a full time job & work out what the hell I want to do!

2. Midnight in Paris might be my favourite film. It has everything I love Paris, portrayals of Hemingway and Fitzgerald and Marion Cottilard! Watch it if you haven't seen it. Paris looks beautiful - could it look any other way - and it features the 1920s!

3. Reading. The last 6 months or so at uni was so busy that I just didn't have time to read for pleasure so following the final hand in I settled down with a good read & just enjoyed it. Any book recommendations send them my way!

4. Getting to see ma mamma & dada. I went for home for just under a week to my Mum and Dad's house. I love going to my mum & dad's just to chill with the rents & my little pup. 5 nights, 4 day of doing not very much ... bliss!Lots of reading of Wolff Hall & Criminal Minds!

Happy Sunday!

Hair Lusting.

Marion Coitillard is so beautiful and I want my hair like hers soooo much. Grow hair, grooooow! In fact can I just be her please...

Red hair.

 I at some point this week decided that I wanted red hair. So I impulsively bought a L'loreal Feria dye and some John Freida red shampoo and conditioner and now have red hair!! I am still getting use to it and am not 100% sure I like it but we will see.

 I just feel like none of my make up goes - in particular lipstick. What colour of bright lipstick would you wear? Help! Also I think a need to fake tan a little. I was planning on stripping it out but it will fade quickly, red always does... 

Happy Thursday!
