ATTIRE - a change from the usual

The faithfully raccoon Shirt: ASOS (alternative patterned shirt here) Jeans: Topshop Shoes: New Look (really nice alternative here!)

So, I religiously buy Topshop Leigh Jeans. But recently my love for this style jean has declined. I find after the first few wears, where they look amazing, they seem to majorly stretch and need to be washed before each wear to get their shape back. This time round I've decided to go wild and try Topshop's Jamie Jeans. I have to say I'm so impressed and adore them! They're a much thicker material than I'm used to wearing, making them less 'jegging-like' like the Leigh style.

I'm still thinking about ombre'ing my hair...the fact that it would make my hair low maintenance is very tempting but I'm so scared it'll be too dark for my liking. So watch this space!

ATTIRE - similar taste

Hat: Acessorize (similar here) Kimono: Auntie's hand-me-downs Jumper: Primark Jeans: Topshop

For the upcoming spring/summer I have been on the look out for a kimono to replace my over reliance on cardigans. I haven't really found any online/ in stores that I particular think I'd wear enough to splash out on. However, weirdly...my auntie has passed down this kimono to me which pretty much fits the criteria without even knowing I was after one! I wanted to wear a navy blue top underneath but couldn't find one in my mountains of clothes. And so, I've just opted for a really plain all-black outfit, with of course, one of my trusty fedoras. I tell you what though - walking about town today I nearly lost my hat with the strong winds! (I would of been devastated)

OK so if you can't tell from the pictures, all these pieces are from the old favourite Zara! For Christmas my mum bought me a gift card to treat myself to something fancy, so I'm currently obsessing over the website to decide what to buy! And...as you can tell there are numerous items I would LOVE to purchase. I haven't been to Zara since the sales so haven't really seen much for the new collection, I saw a tiny corner worth of stock but not much else..yet! I can't decide whether to dedicate my card to one expensive item...or spend it across a few bits and bobs.. oh the stresses of a shop-o-holic.

I'm loving Zara's new collection purely because of all the different prints and textured they have to offer. I'm still searching for a new Zara bag, but none as of yet have caught my eye...I'm very much looking forward to going into a Zara store this weekend! (watch out bank account...)
