Birthday Outfit Wish List

Happy Weekend everyone!

So my 27th birthday is in a couple of weeks and I have seen so many amazing things lately that I love, that it felt time to do a big delightful wish list of birthday wants. I love winter and snow but I am also really looking forward to Spring coming and to renewing my wardrobe and accessories with more fun and whimsical bits and bobs. I decided I would put together a little outfit for my birthday dinner out. 

I am obsessed with this Miss Mix-It Dress from Modcloth, it is so cute and fun! Ever since, Tanesha from Girl With Curves posted herself in it, I have been thinking about it! Since the weather is going to be a bit crap for the next little while, I would wear it with tights and these great Clarks Aldwych Wood Heeled Boots from Brantano. I love my Clarks, I don't care what anyone says, they are comfortable and cool and I will never stray! 

I think this adorable little beaded heart purse from Accessorize is a perfect match for the outfit - my birthday falls 4 days after Valentine's day, so it's the perfect excuse to carry heart print/shaped everything. Accessorize has the cutest little purses at the moment, I want one of everything!

To tie things together, I chose these gorgeous surprise zest earrings from Modcloth and this heart print (Kiev Cafe Cardigan from Modcloth) cardigan to keep warm.

I haven't made any concrete plans yet for my birthday but I'm hoping to go out for a nice meal and drinks, so this outfit should be perfect!

What do you all think? Is there anything you have been hoping for with Spring coming?

Dressing the Seventies with Simply Be

Hey friends,

So I've been "window" shopping online a lot lately, mostly due to the fact that I am trying to save money, so shopping isn't on the cards as much as I would like it to be. One of my most favourite trends that is making the rounds, is the seventies revival looks. I love all the fringes, faux suede, jewel and khaki tones along with the laid back but super chic feel that it all has. I decided to do a little roundup of some favourite bits and Simply Be have hit the nail on the head when it comes to getting the seventies look - no matter your style.

My favourite thing to come back is the flare denim and these cropped flares are so cute! I think they would look amazing with pointed flats or if you are feeling fancy, some heels.

Seventies lingerie is fun and flirty and has great deep v necks with lovely lace detailing. Simply Be actually have a blog post all about "How to dress like a pin-up" in seventies style, inspired by the Minx!'s (Jen Oaks') illustrations.

This simple and casual dress is completely turned into a fun and jazzy outfit by the bottom detailing. It's boho chic meets relaxed-sophisticated.

Simply Be has also got a great selection of wide fit heels with cute braiding details and fun colours too - to complete any seventies look that you are creating.

I'm trying to decide what I want most but I'm thinking those denim flares are calling my name - what do you all think? I think as Spring comes - when it finally does, we will be seeing so much more of this chic and fun seventies gear - I can't wait!
