MY NEW FAVOURITE OUTFIT OF THE DAY

One of the main staples of every person's wardrobe should be a rain coat. Not your Millet's jack-in-a-pack, but a proper, sturdy, not-foldaway rain coat. Honestly, is there any nicer look that a rain coat? This outfit of the day post today is to highlight my rain coat, the nicest and most lovely coat that I have ever owned. It's most definitely waterproof, the most gorgeous navy colour and has a really beautiful striped lining. It's definitely not a thick winter coat, but it's going to be absolutely perfect as it's gets warmer (and still equally as rainy). Also featured in this post in my new Fjallraven Kanken Classic rucksack, which I received for Christmas. It's the most perfect size for fitting everything I need and I absolutely love the square-shaped look and style of it; I'd been lusting over it for a while. I opted for the black one, as it goes with everything and always looks good, but the one thing I would say is that, due to the colour and the material, dust and dirt sticks to it and shows up quite easily. This still doesn't take away anything from it's beauty. These are by far my two new favourite wardrobe staples.

ONE SKIRT, TWO OUTFITS

If you saw my autumn/winter wardrobe wishlist post from early October, you'd see that I was looking for a tan-coloured button-down skirt. I knew I wanted one as a really loved the style and everyone who has one styles it so nicely, though I was a bit apprehensive as I wasn't sure how many outfits I'd be able to get out of it and was it really worth it. In the end I went for it, and this beautiful skirt is from Boohoo. I'd initially found the most perfect one from Next, perfect colour, perfect material, perfect buttons, but I waited to long to buy it and then it wasn't available anymore. I hunted around for ages to find the perfect replacement, and this is the best one I found.

The two looks below are my two favourite ways of styling it and I think they're such simple but perfect looks for Autumn, Winter and Spring; I also think it would look good with a plain black t-shirt, and I'm thinking of getting the black version of the white top below. I'd wear this look on a night out with a dark red, vampy lipstick and glittery copper eyeshadow. I also like to wear this with one messy plait down the back with long bits coming out at the front.

I'd like to add a note here that this was so difficult to photograph, it gets dark really early and for some reason the whites were coming up so bright. This was literally the only day we had to photograph it and we had to make do with what we could.

WHEN SIMPLE WORKS BEST - OOTD 05/10/15

Recently I've become quite a fan of basic t-shirts and wearing the colour white. I find that simple clothing looks really good a lot of the time, and I am really in love with one of my latest buys; this simple white top is from New Look and has a cute pocket on the front, it's quite slouchy (which I love) so it isn't just a boring, plain white t-shirt. I like to wear it with the equally simple-but-effective blue jeans and I either wear it with black Dr Martens boots or white Converse low-tops. With simple clothing, I also like to layer quite basic and low-key necklaces.

Just to add, I wanted to write a quick paragraph here about my favourite jeans. Topshop Jamie jeans. I've been favouring this style of jeans for well over a year now, I have them in black and blue, and I think they're possibly the most perfect jeans I've ever found. I think it's quite important to invest in some nice-quality jeans, because jeans tend to last ages and ages, so I don't really find myself minding about the £40 price tag. I like my jeans to be skinny, and these definitely are, they hug my legs in a flattering way and they haven't become baggy and misshapen over time, which is perfect. They're the style known as 'ankle grazers' so they finish just on my ankle bone, but I think that's a pretty good look with folded over socks and low-cut shoes. All in all, I love these jeans. I think they're perfect. The perfect style, the perfect fit, they've lasted ages without having to buy a new pair, and they have a soft denim feel (for some reason, I like my denim items of clothing to actually feel like denim, that's important to me when buying jeans). I can't see myself changing my jeans style for a long time.

IN ORDER TO HIGHLIGHT MY NEW RUCKSACK - #OOTD 26/08/15

I'd wanted a leather rucksack for so long but real leather ones are just so expensive. And then I saw this Accessorize beauty online. This rucksack was literally perfect, it's fake leather so still has the same look as a real leather one just for a fraction of the price, and it was just so beautiful I couldn't resist. The only problem was the £35 price tag, I told myself I couldn't justify buying it until I got a job. Two months later I had my first pay day of my new job, and the first thing I did was go and buy this bag. I am a very happy bunny. This bag is also the perfect size, it fits all my everyday things with room to spare, and I'm confident that it's also going to be able to fit all my college stuff come September. I am in love.

Bag- Accessorize (£35)

Jumper- Boohoo (£12)
Top- H&M (£9.99)

OUTFIT OF THE DAY - 20/06/15

First things first I have a couple of guilt points to mention. Firstly, I meant to photograph and upload this way back in May/early June and I'm majorly annoyed with myself that it's only getting uploaded now. Secondly, I've been neglecting my blog for so long, it's not a good feeling, but I've had loads of deadlines and I don't know where the time has got to. As of next week I'm officially on my summer holidays, and that is all.

This is basically to show off my new favourite trousers, the most beautiful pair I have ever owned.

Trousers- Topshop (£40)
Necklace- Accessorize (price unknown)

OUTFIT OF THE DAY- 16/04/15

I wore this out to dinner on my 18th birthday and it has already become one of my favourite outfits, I can see myself wearing this a fair few times as the weather gets warmer.

I wore this outfit with a plain black cardigan and my black heeled Juju Jelly shoes, and also with some simple black and silver earrings and rings. I decided to go simple with jewellery, but I'd also wear this outfit with long precious stone necklaces. In terms of clothing additions, I also think this outfit would look really great with a white cropped top and a chunky-knit cardigan.

Outfit:
Skirt- Mango (in Pearsons) (over a year old)
Cropped top- Topshop
Tights- Marks and Spencers

OUTFIT OF THE DAY- 28/03/15

Sticking a quick note up here to say that I've finally made a blog twitter, only a few months after I decided that it was about time I did. My twitter is @Rozoid97 - drop us a tweet 'hello'. 

This is my outfit of the day from yesterday, when it was slightly hotter and not raining, featuring my faithful black Topshop Jamie jeans (though it is time I got another pair, these ones are looking a little no-longer-black).

Camisole tops were my new favourite clothing discovery of last summer. This one is from Next, and is actually more of a plum/berry colour than it looks in the pictures (UK weather is impossible to work with when picture taking). Berry is one of my favourite colours, so I couldn't pass this top by when I saw it, despite it being a little too early in the year for camis yet. One of the best features of this top is the adjustable straps, so useful as cami tops are often a little too lose.

It's simple, but it works. (I also think it would work well with blue jeans). I style this with white converse and a thick, oatmeal-coloured cardigan.

The top is still available online from Next.co.uk for £12. Next are such an underrated brand, but they're one of my favourite high street shops.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I hope everybody had a good News Years Eve and I wish you all the best for 2015. Here's my simple, smart-casual, conveniently themed outfit and makeup of last night.

Outfit:
I went for the simple blue and black theme this year, pairing the Topshop top below (see picture) with black high-waisted jeans (Topshop Jamie jeans), a leather jacket and black Dr Martens boots. It's basic but it works so damn well.

Makeup:
For eye makeup I went with one of my all-time favourite eyeshadows from the Sleek 'Oh So Special' palette, named 'Organza'. 'Organza' is the most beautiful shimmery copper colour that is, again, so simple but so effective. I really, really love this shade. Having blue eyes, more orangey colours are meant to make the blue in your eyes stand out more.

For lipstick I went for the classic, matte, berry of Topshop's 'Beguiled'. Everyone knows my love of berry coloured lips and nails, and it's a beautiful look that I've found is no where near as high maintainance as red lipstick. Plus mattes are always easier to work with.

Nails:
In sticking with the black abd blue theme, I've gone with a nail varnish by 'Seventeen' called 'Navy Glint'. This also has glitter in it which I've really been loving recently and it's such a beautiful nail varnish.

MUSTARD GOES WITH EVERYTHING

As I am an extreme fan of mustard, and it's such an underrated colour as people never know what to wear with it, I though I'd do a lookbook of how I style mustard, and proof that it's a colour that goes with everything.
I've also found that it goes really well with purple/burgundy jeans, and black and white trousers, though I don't have pictures here to demonstrate. I also have some very well-loved mustard colour tights from H&M that unfortunately do not feature here.

Please enjoy these bloody awful photos, work is being done in the garden so the bedroom was forced to make do.
