Bank Holiday Weekend OOTD #2: The Orange Blazer

On Sunday, the Bank Holiday weekend celebrations continued...yeaaaaboi!

And even though I'm unemployed and the Monday was in effect just another day in the life of Nish (at the mo anyways), of course I still celebrated the occasion with my friends. It would be rude not to! 

We went to Battersea car boot sale in the day where I picked up a few bargains- Rocketdog boots for a fiver, a Topshop dress for £3 and an American Apparel skirt for £3. Winning.

Afterwards, we planned to head to The Ship in Wandsworth (the best riverside pub in London) but it was refusing entry due to the 18 degree heat and hoards of people desperate to get their tan and drink on! (yes, you heard me correctly, it was 18 degrees...in London!!!). 

So we ventured down Northcote Road and settled for seats outside an Indian restaurant as absolutely all of the pubs and bars with outside space were packed with a capital P....it was like every single person in the South West had just turned from vampire to human and this was their first day experiencing sun. Olaf would've loved it (if you haven't seen Frozen, ignore this reference...but do go and watch it immediately after reading the rest of this post as it is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!)

At the Indian, we ordered chicken/lamb wraps and chips. So well cultured. And of course a bottle of vino! 

Later we ended up at The Windmill, a lovely pub in Clapham South, and I am now in love with the cute beer garden with heaters to keep you warm until close! Definitely a new local! (You can call a pub 45 mins away by public transport a 'local' if you live in London right?!) 

Annnnd then partied away at Vodka Revs on the High Street...clearly can't get enough of Battersea and Clapham these days. Post-drinks back at mine ended in an empty bottle of my parents wine, the birds rising before our bedtime had even begun, 2 hours sleep and a verrrry hungover Nish and Laura. 

Anyways, enough of that. This outfit was great as it took me from day to night. My orange patterned blazer from River Island is one of my favourite statement pieces for spring: 






I Am Wearing

Orange Blazer - River Island 
White Top - Topshop 
Leopard Shorts - Motel 
Cut Out Boots - Missguided 
Bag - Zara 
Necklace - Primark 
Frilly Navy Socks - Topshop

These are some snaps I found from much later on in the night: 




Note to self: never apply makeup when heavily intoxicated. Especially when it's a silvery sparkly eyeshadow stick. It's like handing a kid a crayon next to an old, worse for wear wall. It only makes it doubly unfavourable.

Autumn Lust List

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

This is the first year I can remember where I haven't dressed up as a 'scary' aka slutty devil/ghost/zombie etc etc for Halloween...a definite sign I'm getting old. Instead, I'm spending my evening devouring the chocolates meant for the trick or treaters, catching up on some reality TV, and waiting for my sister to come home and join me in my indulgence. 

Chocolate to me is like blood to a vampire. 

I've also been browsing the net for some Autumn essentials and have composed another lust list (which will undoubtedly grow and grow throughout the next few days/weeks/months!). 

Tartan Trend






Navy Blue Trend







This dress reminds me of my Aztec printed dress from Missguided (pictured below). One of my favourite dresses!



Shoes/ Matching Outfits


Inspired by blogger Niomi Smart! See her blog here- 

I think these cute booties would complete a cute daytime look when paired with this dress from Topshop which I've had my eye on for a while- 


And it contains leopard print...what a surprise!





These beauts are perfect as they are work friendly as well as great for transforming a simple look for an evening out with friends. 

They also come in black-


and red-





The red would go perfectly with my Mink Pink Shirt (recent purchase from the Battersea carboot) and a pair of wet look leggings, which I practically lived in last autumn/winter time. 

I want them all! 


Keeping it Cosy






...who said winter had to be full of dark and dreary colours? (plus, I just love pretty much anything pink).

And of course, winter approaching can only mean one thing... party season is on its way! I am still on the lookout for the perfect party dress. It must contain an obscene amount of sparkles, but also ooze glamour rather than tack. I will post about it when I find it!

Happy Trick or Treating :) 

XOXO

Leopard Trousers: Three Looks

I'm a big big fan of anything animal printed, especially leopard print. I don't know what it is about it that attracts me, I don't even like cats. But if I had a penny for every leopard print patterned item I've bought in my lifetime, I'd undoubtedly be a very rich lady. 

 I recently purchased a lovely pair of leopard print trousers from Topshop to add to the ever growing collection. They were £42 but I've convinced myself they're worth it by putting together various ways of wearing them, depending on mood, place of wear...and whether I'm having a fat day or not!

Here are three looks: 

Nude Nish






Top- Asos
Bandeau- Urban Outfitters
Trousers- Topshop 
Shoes- Dorothy Perkins
Necklace- Primark 
Veiny feet- I got it from my mama 

Comfy Casual






Jumper- Forever 21
Trousers- Topshop
Shoes- Converse

Pop of Colour





Top- Topshop
Trousers- Topshop
Blazer- Ebay
Shoes- Primark
Necklace- Primark 

My current mood: sleeepy (like this leopard)
