I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas! I would normally apologise for the absence lately but you've all probably been the same - tucking into turkey, wine, chocolates (or equivalent) instead of leaning over your computer clicking through blogs which I am most certainly not sorry for! Unfortunately though, I got ill Christmas Eve which completely SUCKED and meant less turkey, wine and chocolates than I would normally have been satisfied with. In fact, I spent the majority of Boxing Day dozing off on any comfortable surface available (I was not excused from the family obligations despite sneaking off to bed at one point). Despite this, I still had a fabulous Christmas and am grateful for every moment I got to spend with my family.

Today's look is a very simple one (the imagination was lacking, I'll blame being sick) as I stuck with what I know works - a chunky Zara knit and my favourite over the knee Stuart Weitzman boots. Having had to 'dress up' for the duration of the festive period  (those who follow the majority of my posts will know this is not something I indulge in regularly) has meant I really want to go back to basics and monochrome in which I feel most comfortable.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, God bless.

Keeping Things Casual

Just Do It

Wishlist: Sports Lux

Sports Bra: T by Alexander Wang

Trousers: Sundry

Baseball cap: Nike

Trainers: Ash

Bag: DKNY

The sports trend - it's a bit like Marmite (apologies for those outside the UK, Google it) you either love it or hate it. I, personally, am an advocate of any trend which allows you to walk down the street without the need to worry about VPL, achy feet and food babies. Introducing fashion's solution - sports lux. I blame DKNY and Alexander Wang (with a hint of Rhianna and Cara Delevinge on the side) but I hail them at the same time, for now fashion is comfortable; therefore ladies, I salute you. Well Dunn (yes Jourdan, you too).

What's your take on this trend?

Between the Lines

Blazer: ASOS

T-Shirt: Cos (similar)

Culottes: ASOS

Sandals: Topshop

Sunglasses: Rayban

For me, 'stripes' is a trend I most certainly couldn't stay away from, despite typically being known for simple looks. It adds definition to any outfit you chose to wear them with and can completely transform (or what I've tried to do here, at least) even a simple shorts and t-shirt look into something worth blogging about (IMHO).

You might remember me posting this little darling of a blazer on my blog here a short time ago as something I was lusting after - well I managed to pick it up in the ASOS sale! Now that is patience paying off (literally) right there!

What do you think of this outfit? I've been playing around with different styles of photography lately so still in the teething stages of finding what works for my blog.

Oh, and I know I kind of have bitch face going on here but it was seriously hot taking these photos! SOZ!
