Mixing Prints at the Market

 Good morning my lovelies!

Today I bring you an outfit inspired by one of my absolute favourite bloggers who I have followed since the beginning -  Chastity of Garnerstyle. She is the queen of mixing prints and has the best collection of skirts that I have ever seen.

If you don't know her, please check her out - she is a true style icon.

I received this gorgeous candy stripe blouse from George at Asda this week and my first thought was to head to my closet in search of my favourite midi skirt and I think it really works. 

Blouse c/o George at Asda, Skirt - handmade by unknown, Flats - Primark

I think this will be a definite go-to outfit for Summer and those warmer Spring days ahead. I love all the colour and print mixing - it just makes me feel fresh and alive again!

Freshly Printed in George at Asda!

Good morning and happy Saturday everyone!

Today I bring you some of my most favourite printed items ever. George at Asda has really knocked this season out of the park because not only are the pieces cute and fresh but the cuts and sizing are bang on too.

Lemon Trouser - Similar Style*

I am wearing a UK20 in each item and I would say it is all true to size and comfortable. 

I love these lemon trousers, from the Limoncello collection, so much because they are black so don't feel too wild ( I can still wear them to work) but still have the fun print. I would say its a mid rise s comfortable and they don't creep down.

Lemon Print Peplum Top*

Next up is this jersey lemon peplum top. I am obsessed with this lemon print as it's just so sweet and this peplum top with bow back amplifies the sweetness even more. I think it looks great with jeans and sneakers and really jazzes up what could be a really simple outfit.

Scenic Print Top*

Next up is this gorgeous scenic top with ties a the arms and a relaxed fit. I would say that if you are considering this top and want to maximise it's wear, order a size up and it will fit more like a tunic and will be amazing for the beach.

I attended the George at Asda press day not long ago where they showcased some of the amazing bits and bobs that will be appearing soon for Summer and you should all be super excited. The home wears are ultra cute and trendy and the clothing is right on trend with boho styles and cute prints to match.

Stay tuned for a giveaway this week with something lemony inside.

Gettin' Jilsen With It...

Hello everyone!

Today I am bringing you a review from a company that I have absolutely fallen in love with.

I will be the first to admit that having never owned a proper pair of leather boots, I could never really appreciate the difference and good reasoning for buying them.

I can safely say that I now know what the fuss is about and if you don't own a good pair of leather boots you should get on it ASAP.

Jilsen is a company from the Netherlands that ships to the UK and sell wide calf leather boots in several sizes. The leather is high quality, the fit is great and the styles are varied and bang on trend - they even do colours like  blue and red. I was really pleased when they contacted me because I wear boots several times a week and have had trouble finding really good ones that fit my calves.

I am wearing the Amber boots in black leather. I wear a size 48 calf and it is perfect. The boots are sturdy and my foot doesn't slide or move, yet they are so comfortable and haven't rubbed or given me issues anywhere, which is unheard of in almost all of the boots I have owned.

The heel is just high enough and makes my legs look fab when trotting around without making my legs or feet sore. Check out the Jilsen website as they have loads of different heels and flat boots for those that want no heel at all.

What I am wearing:

Cardigan - Primark

Dress - George for Asda (old collection)

Boots - Amber by Jilsen*

Apologies for the less clear photo - I am in the process of looking for a new camera as mine is struggling with age. The boots have a decorative side zipper on the outside and a functional zipper on the inside of the leg.

From the moment that I received the boots I haven't taken them off - I love them and they look great with so many things!

Thanks Jilsen!

OOTD at the Sky Garden

Good morning lovelies and happy Sunday!

Yesterday I spent the morning with Steven and our good friends, Jen and Matt, at the new Sky Garden in London on Fenchurch Street. It's a pretty spectacular place to walk around, although there isn't as much 'garden' as you would expect.

The views are amazing and you can walk around and see almost all of London in one go. The deck was closed yesterday so I had to take my photos through the windows but I think you can still get the idea. It was amazing and the weather couldn't have been better.

Since it was so nice yesterday, I decided to go without a coat and take one of my new George at Asda tops out - this one is officially a favourite as it's so cute and comfortable.

I completely blanked and didn't take a photo of the back, which has a lovely crochet detail, but click on the link below to see the shirt in full.

What I wore:

Crochet back blouse - George at Asda **

Jeans - Junarose

Flats - Primark

We spent about an hour wandering around and enjoying the garden and all the views - it was busy but not crowded so it's a nice way to spend a morning.

If you get a chance to go I would definitely recommend it - it's free to book.

OOTD: Beach Cover Up I think Not!

So I was invited to a swanky party at the end of the pier in Deal, but had to come straight from work - what was  I to wear that would satisfy both my work uniform and my party invite?! 

My George from Asda beach cover up of course!

Excuse my squinted face - the sun was going down and ever so bright! 

It's a lace vest style tunic with a flapper style fringe at the bottom - I paired it with a pair of George for Asda leggings, a Primark black vest top underneath, Primark black jersey blazer and flats.

The next time I wear it, I am going to wear a colourful vest top underneath to really highlight the lace. I think this is on of my favourite summer outfits and at £12 for the lace beach cover up it's a real steal!

This is the first time I have worn anything from Asda and I am so pleased!

Have you tried anything that you love from the George range?
