Tartan and Stripes : Style Diary

Todays outfit expresses the epitome of casual.

 A slouchy knit jumper with a voile trim, paired with my favourite ripped jeans and soft scarf makes for the best uni look! I don't know if it has something to do with the colder weather, but I love being able to dress up in warm winter jumpers and boots without worrying about being too hot! 

My striped jumper is an oldie from Hollister that I picked up in the Braintree outlet store. What a lifesaver that shop is! You can pick up some great bargains. My jeans are Topshop Jamie jeans with rips. I paired the outfit with my Cashmink scarf from House of Fraser and love how comfortable and soft it is. The best £5 spent in the black Friday sale! Finally I paired the outfit with my classic Zara tote bag. This bag is perfect for uni as it fits all of my sewing materials as well as my other bits and bobs. Plus it is super easy to just throw things into it! 

I put my hair into a side fishtail braid. One of the most easy plaits to do which looks like lots of effort has been made! 

This is what I spent most of my day staring at today! Although I wouldn't change it for the world! 

After getting in from my water aerobics class my mum told me to pop upstairs and look in the bathroom. She had very cutely put out my pyjamas and dressing gown on the towel warmer so they were lovely and toasty for when I put them on. She is super duper cute!

 Hope you have a lovely rest of your day! 

Let me know what you have got up to!

Lots of love,

 Today was such an exciting day as my brother's girlfriend got into town to join us for the next week of the holiday. The first week we decided to make a total relaxation period, so we have lots to squeeze in for the next couple of days! The heat today has been unbearable. I totally didn't realise how hot it was when getting in and out of the pool that I think I managed to get a little dehydrated. I need to remind myself to drink more water tomorrow! Tonight's outfit was a little out of my comfort zone, but one that I loved all the same. Because of it being such a humid day, I wanted to wear something that would be really loose and comfortable. I bought this parrot printed jumpsuit from Tommy Hilfiger. The bright pink belt came with the dress and just finishes the whole look off completely. Due to my hurting head, I decided to take my contacts out and just to wear my Ray-Ban glasses. My hair was left natural although I totally wished I had put it up!

 I have been using this bag a lot this holiday and love it so much. It usually has a long strap that makes it a cross body bag, but for the evenings I have been putting it inside and using the smaller handles. I think it really turns the bag into more of an evening look. It is in this gorgeous mint colour and is from Topshop a couple of years ago.

 On my feet I wore my classic black and silver Havaianas. They are by far the most comfy flip flops that I have ever worn. I am deffo going to be purchasing some more in other colours!

 Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday so we are dressing up and going out for a fancy dinner. It should be interesting considering the language barrier!

Cinema OOTN

Yesterday evening my family and I went for a little cinema trip to watch the new Night at the Museum film. We loved the first two and thought it would be a nice little end of holiday treat for us all to do together. It was such a funny film and it certainly did not let the series down! It was a little bit surreal hearing Robin Williams' voice again. It was almost as if nothing had happened and he was still around. Flubber used to be one of mine and my brothers favourite films, he was such a talented man and it is such a sad story. The tribute message and quote along the lines of 'Magic never dies' underneath is name was really touching and made me smile. Robin Williams was and will always be an incredible man.

Here is what I wore to the cinema. I knew that I would be sitting down so wanted to be comfortable but somewhat stylish for the occasion.

 Jumper- Zara 

Jeans- Jamie Topshop Jeans

Boots- Pull and Bear

Bag- Michael Kors

Glasses- RayBan

Phone Case- Ted Baker

I hope you liked this post, let me know what you have seen lately at the cinema, OR if there are any films that I need to see! 

Lots of love,
