ASOS Spring Fashion Wishlist

Spring has officially sprung, sun is in the air, flowers are blooming and all that jazz. This week marks the first week in MONTHS that I will actually be earning a livable wage from my freelance writing (all hail trying hard for super long and eventually succeeding!), so I decided to have a little peek at what ASOS has to offer us this Spring. 
I'm not going to lie, I fell a little bit in love with pretty much everything, so it was actually really different to whittle it down to this ... err ... *mere* thirteen-item wishlist. So, it's time to bring on all the pretty nudes and flowy clothes. Oh, and time to bankrupt myself ...

OOTD | Styling Winter Colours in Spring

Your first thought on seeing this post is probably, like mine, an oh LORDY she needs to start squatting more (why why WHY bum have you lost your shape?!). But, if you've read my posts on dealing with weight gain and weight gain vs blogger confidence you'll know that I'm handling this, and I'm (almost) over how flabby and shapeless my bum is.
ANYHOW, let's get past the pity butt party for one shall we, and talk about this outfit. I've recently started taking more pride in what I wear, and a lot of people have noticed. Yes, I spend 90% of the time swaddled in my dressing gown in the house, but when I do go out I put an effort in.
So, on my nan's 80th I decided to jazz things up a little monochrome style. Although a lot of people like having a black and white outfit for winter, I love it in Spring as the white provides quite a fresh contrast to it's darker partner. 
These skinny jeans (similar here) are my go to, and have been for a couple of years now. Despite endlessly getting asked by the older generation whether my knees get cold (no), they make a lot more of a statement than plain old black jeans. Paired with my favourite statement black heels (similar here), I tend to opt for this look over a dress on a night out or big event.
This leather and suede style jacket (similar here) and cream top (similar here) were my best picks of the New Look January sales and I can't wait to style them with more outfits.
I hope you enjoyed this post, I had so much fun photographing it, especially with my little squirrel friend who popped up to say hello (see if you can spot him)!
What is your favourite transitional outfit this season?

Soaking up the last of the Summer sun

With Autumn approaching (where did the sunshine go?!), I've been taking every opportunity to soak up the last of the summer rays. It's been glorious. I was lucky enough to head to both Devon and the Costa Del Sol in the past few months and this outfit totally had my back. I can't believe the season of cute tops and bare legs is draining away, but I'm so excited to get all my cosies out of the back of my wardrobe. 

OOTD: Transitioning into Autumn with some Summer Blues

Sorry I haven't posted in forever, things have been crazy hectic at my work experience (hello 2 hour commute each way). Although I'm loving the experience of working at London at the moment I'm missing the freedom I had earlier in the summer, like I had in Devon in this picture. We've been holidaying in Devon since I can remember, and it was so much fun heading out on a little adventure with my sister here (public walkways for the win) and doing this mini photo shoot.
