Boohoo Loungewear Co-ord

Jacket - Topshop

Scarf - ASOS

Co-ord - Boohoo

Adidas Stan Smith Trainers - Net-A-Porter.com

Necklace - Monica Vinader

I've been after comfy weekend clothes since I moved out so I can pop out and do my errands and be nice and comfy but also look cool and not like a slob haha. Lydia from Fashion in Flux inspired me to buy this set as she looks so bloody good in the loungewear co-ords she has.

I love the flares and the big slits up the side, they really make it for me - I think I'm going to live in this and may have to purchase it in grey too. Boohoo isn't usually somewhere I shop but I'm really impressed with this set and it was such a steal at 20 squids.

What I Got For Christmas 2015

 Acne Studios Jensen Suede Boots - Net-A-Porter.com

These gorgeous boots were my main present from my lovely boyfriend. I'm a sucker for designer things especially accessories as they last a really long time and black boots are such a staple so I really wanted an expensive pair. They do these boots in leather rather than suede and in different colours but I really wanted a real suede pair. They are the perfect heel height for everyday and the silver detailing on the toe and the writing down the back of the boot really make them for me. I don't think I'll be taking them off of my feet any time soon.

Adidas Stan Smith Trainers - Net-A-Porter.com

I already own a white cracked leather pair of Stans and they are such a staple for me as they can be worn with everything and are super comfy due to this I really wanted a black pair and these velvet leopard print ones had to be mine.

 Engraved Monica Vinader Rose Gold Necklace

I've wanted a necklace that I can wear everyday for a long time now and what better than this one. The front has 'Claudia' engraved on it and the back has a pineapple so I can switch it up and wear it both ways. I'm a sucker for anything that is personalised.

H&M Dress

This gorgeous dress was a gift from my sister, she actually has it herself and bought me one as she knew I loved it. Such a shame we no longer live together and can't share wardrobes!

Rosie for Autograph PJ's - Marks & Spencer

I love the Rose H-W range for M&S my collection is really growing now. The lingerie is so gorgeous and is such a perfect fit as is the sleepwear.

 PJ's - Missguided

I'm a sucker for pyjamas and these are ridiculously cute and so comfy - Missguided PJ's for the win. (sorry about how creased they are!!)

The Carries Diaries Book - Amazon

Vogue Magazine Subscription

2016 Glitter Diary - Paperchase

Pug Socks - New Look

Babyliss Hair Wand

So happy that Luke renewed my Vogue subscription as that's something I don't have to worry about buying each month now.

If you have long hair and are after a curling wand, I'd highly recommend this one. I used it once for the first time on Christmas day and loved it. I didn't hairspray my hair as I don't like to and it lasted for days.

Soap & Glory Gift Set

Nivea Lip Care Set

Rose Jam Bath Bomb

Razzle Dazzle Bath Melt

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

Butterbear Bath Bomb

Estee Lauder Make-Up Brush Cleanser

Una Brennan Vitamin C Gentle Daily Micro Polish Wash

The Balm Nude Tude Palette

I'm a sucker for anything from Lush so I can't wait to use these pieces in my bath! My thoughtful mumma got them for me so that I can save them for when I move out so it's less stuff I have to spend my money on.

How gorgeous is this palette? I haven't stopped wearing it since Christmas Day.

Miu Miu Perfume

I've wanted this perfume since I smelt it in Vogue magazine a few months ago so it went straight on the top of my Christmas list and thankfully my mumma got it for me.

Real Techniques Make-up Brushes

Last but not least I got new brushes yay!

What was your favourite thing you got from Christmas?

I got lots of bits for our new home for Christmas too so I've done a separate post for that so watch out for it.

Christmas Madness

Jumper - ASOS

Jeans - ASOS

Trainers - Adidas Stan Smith via Net-A-Porter.com

Bag - Marc Jacobs

Necklace - Monica Vinader

After the craziness of Christmas I am finally back to normal life (well kinda as not back to work until the 4th!) which means blog life resumes. I hope everybody had a lovely Christmas, I honestly haven't stopped eating or shopping for that matter. I finally got dressed today and braved Bluewater it was pretty crazy as I expected so opted for comfy clothes.

How amazing are my new Stans? I wear my white ones all the time and they are ridiculously comfortable so I obviously needed a black leopard print pair.

My gorgeous necklace I got from my dad and step mum for Christmas from Monica Vinader, it also has a pineapple engraved on the back as who doesn't want a pineapple on their necklace haha.

I'll be doing a post on everything that I got for Christmas and in the sales so watch out for those...

The Coolest Parka Ever

Parka - Topshop

Turtle Neck - Topshop

Jeans - GAP

Trainers - Stan Smith Via ASOS

Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs

Quite a basic outfit post here, it's how I tend to dress for work/weekends a lot of the time when I'm feeling lazy haha. I am literally in love with this parka, I've never seen one with such bright faux fur - it just gives it that little something extra! I always get so many compliments when I wear it too. It was £70 though which is quite expensive considering it's very thin (I did get it at 20% off though as they gave me a code for my birthday) but it will never date and can be worn pretty much all year round. I'll definitely need to layer up with thick jumpers underneath once the cold weather hits but at least it looks fab!

Halo braid by Blow Ltd

 

 

Yesterday I had the first birthday party of my best friends gorgeous little man, it was so much fun and a such lovely day for him. This is what I decided to wear - my boyfriend had bought me lots of clothes for my birthday which is in a couple of weeks and this top and pinafore are two of the items that he very nicely let me have early.

 

Myself and my gorgeous niece Matilda at the party

 

High necked tops are big for AW15 and this bright stripy one by Monki I loveeeee. Such a great price at £15 too.

As a big fan of dungarees, I've wanted a denim pini for a while. I feel like this midi one is more of a grown up version and I love the frayed hem.

 

Now lets talk about my hair, I had my work party on Friday night to celebrate 15 years of Net-A-Porter it was fairground themed and so much fun. We had pop up beauty in the office that day to help us get party ready so I  got this halo braid done by Blow. It was done in 15 minutes and I loved it so much I had to keep it in for the party yesterday too.

Sporty Spice - H&M | Adidas Stella McCarntney

 

Top - H&M// Sports Bra - H&M// Leggings - Adidas via Sports Direct// Trainers - Adidas Stella McCartney - Net-A-Porter.com

This is a slightly different post to usual...I recently joined the gym and as someone who did no exercise what so ever and just wore trainers for fashion, I was on the look out for gym wear. Whilst browsing in H&M on Great Malborough Street a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across their own sportswear - I was immediately drawn in with the girly colours, prints and the amazing price point and I felt like I needed to share this with you all.

                          Top - £7.99                                          Bra - £9.99                                              

I am so impressed with these bits, they're a great quality and fit - especially the bra which is 'medium support' and I don't really get any movement at all which is great.

 

Top - H&M £7.99// Leggings - H&M £12.99// Trainers - Stella McCartney Adidas £69 in Net-A-Porter sale. 

This is a little outfit I put together to show you some other pieces that I really want to get. The trainers are from NAP, they were £115 so such a great price now. There's also some Adidas Stella McCartney clothing in the sale which is a lot more purse friendly but stick to H&M if on a budget :)

Breton & Tropical Print | Zara | Stella McCartney Adidas | THEOUTNET.com

Dress - Zara

Sunglasses - Matthew Williamson x Linda Farrow www.theoutnet.com

Trainers - Stella McCartney Adidas www.net-a-porter.com

Just a pretty simple outfit from me today. I absolutely love this dress from Zara, I've really gotten into stripes recently but it was the contrast sleeve that did it for me. Such a steal for £19.99 and so easy to chuck on.

I went for trainers instead of sandals as I liked the relaxed casual vibe it gave off together. I'm quite lucky I'm short as I'm not sure overly tall people will get away with wearing this as a dress as to be honest you probably wouldn't want to have it any shorter than this but it would still look great over jeans.

This was at the weekend when there was actually some sun, please come back :( I'm hoping the rain clears off for the weekend as I want to go to the zoo.

Hurry up Friday!
