Debenhams #Lovedenim

Who doesn't love a well dressed man?! As well as loving female fashion i love scrolling through Lookbook and viewing men's style and trends. When i saw Stylonylon had created a competition with Debenhams to win £500 based on creating two mood boards with a casual and smart outfit for a male a i thought it would be a great idea to be creative. Not only would also be great to give something back to my boyfriend who religiously takes my outfit pictures when requested hehe! This is something a bit different to what i usually post but to any men out there who read my blog or for those with a man in your life i hope you like my outfit inspiration!

1. Navy washed high roll t shirt - Topman 
2. Lee denim grey washed jeans - Debehams 
3. Black Biker jacket - River Island 
4. Clarks suede lace up shoes - Debenhams
5. Navy twist Beanie hat - River Island 
First up is this super cool and casual look which in this instance could be worn to a gig. Biker jackets are so effortlessly cool and versatile as they can be dressed up or down,day or night. I LOVE this t-shirt and i would also wear this myself if i could! Tie dye was very much in last year and still seems to be around and the wash of this one is perfect. Good shoes on a man are essential and are one of the first things i look at, brogues are really casual but still look smart without being too over the top for a gig.

1. Jeff Banks black straight leg jeans - Debenhams 
2. White button down shirt - Topman 
3. Gingham bow tie - Asos 
4. Grey Blazer - Jack Jones 
5. Red Herring Brogues - Debenhams 

Dressing up for a night out and dinner is definitely my favourite thing to do as i'm sure many men do as well! This is my favourite outfit of the two that i created and it is so in fashion with female trends too, check the gingham bow tie out! Its a  more unique option to a standard (boring) tie! The monochrome look with the jeans and shirt looks fab with the grey blazer, the whole outfit looks really pristine and i would certainly not mind rocking up to a restaurant with my boyfriend dressed like this!

Thanks for reading, i hope you enjoyed my male clothing inspiration! Do you like a well dressed man? Which is your favourite outfit?

OOTD | Midi skirt







Jumper - Topshop
Skirt* - Peacocks | Link
Necklace - Miss Selfridge
Shoes - Primark
Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters
I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday and are outside and enjoying this glorious sunshine! Some vitamin D was definitely what i needed and in between writing my dissertation i managed to get down for an ice cream by the sea which was perfect! Today was also the first day i have bared my pasty legs and i cant believe I've been able to do so in March! 

Midi skirts and dresses have always been something that i avoid as being a short person i always thought they could make you look a bit dumpy, but contrary to popular belief i was totally wrong and i think this could be my first midi skirt of many to come! It is the perfect length for this time of the year. I never want to seem eager and wear shorts at the first sign of sun, although i do want to! Its also high waisted which really helps to draw in your figure and which makes the fit really flattering. I teamed it with a white cropped jumper as i don't thing you can go to mad when you're wearing polka dots already! I also got to dig out last years sunglasses which i love, i'm on the look out for some new quirky ones though, anyone know of any good places to look?

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like midi skirts? How have you been enjoying the sunshine this weekend?

OOTD | Pastels







Jumper - Topshop
Jeans - Cubus
Socks - Primark
Sandals - Primark
Necklace - New Look

What gorgeous weather we are still having, i didn't even need to wear a coat yesterday which was amazing! On Saturday i ventured into Primark which is always a mistake on a Saturday because it is SO busy, but i still managed to finally get my hands on a pair of heeled jelly sandals which i have been after since last year. Primark is by far the cheapest place i have seen selling jelly shoes so far and they have a really good selection, these only set me back £6! I was worried that they would rub my feet but they were surprisingly comfortable and i felt like a little kid wearing them again, they certainly bring back lots of memories of wearing them when i was younger at the beach! Like most girls i have also loved wearing and buying frilly socks and i usually turn to Topshop as they offer 3 pairs for £8. For some reason i was yet to own a white pair which is an essential as they go with everything and these only cost £1.50! Primark are doing really well in my books this year!

I couldn't stay away from the pastels look for very long! This fluffy jumper i purchased in Topshop is still one of my favourites and i'm tempted to buy it in the lilac colour too, even better that they are now reduced to £30, which is still quite a lot but the quality of the jumper is great.

I hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather what are you up to today? What do you think of this outfit? Do you like jelly shoes?

OOTD | Panelled top








Jacket - Topshop
Mesh top* - Peacocks | Here
Shorts - Topshop
Tights - Primark
Necklace -Topshop
Boots* - Bank

Hi lovelies! I hope youve all been enjoying the lovely sunny weather that we had over the weekend, it certainly was a pleasant surprise from the months of cold weather that we have had. It also gave me the opportunity to ditch the winter coat and wear my favourite cropped jacket from Topshop that i picked up last year. I am loving this mesh/panelled top from Peacocks, its so simple but it makes a change to just a standard black top, i also recently purchased a similar dress like this from Missguided which i am obsessed with, it lets you show a bit of skin while it still looks classy! I've also got a bit bored of pastels for the moment so i got out my next favourite trend which is velvets, regardless as to whether they are still in or not they will always have a place in my heart. I love the texture and oxblood colour of them and they really go well with the monochrome jacket!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like mesh cut outs in clothing?
