Cool as an orange

Despite orange not being my favourite colour I seem to own a lot of it!! 

Such a flattering colour on dark and tanned skin tones. 

Lately I've been trying to up cycle my wardrobe instead of consitantly purchasing new clothes all the time! Let's face it some times there is more important things in life than splashing out well earned wages!! 

The only thing new I'm wearing is my orange shirt purchased in the TopShop sales and my bargain £1 sunglasses from River Island everything else I've worn in previous posts.


I'm completely in my comfort zone when wearing my headscarfs and bright lipstick 


Other ways of updating old outfits is accessorising you can bring anything back to life with accessories and let's face it they are usually a lot cheaper than buying a whole new outfit.

I'm always on the look out for accessories wether it be a new pair of sunglasses or statement necklace and of course different print headscarfs.

Primark favs

Following on from my last blog I'm still banging on about duster coats again!! 

I just had to share my current favourite bargains. 

With shops like Primark everyone really can gain the benefits of the latest fashion trends without breaking the bank. 



With wedding season coming up I think these floral duster coats can really add the wow factor to a simple little dress and strappy heels. 
Can also be worn on casual days paired up with jeans a casual tshirt and flats. 


Prints our perfect if you want to add excitement to an outfit if your not sure how to style prints it can easily be done by keeping the rest of your outfit simple!!

Both coats are from Primark prices our £17 each but when I got to the till was only £10 yep that's only £20 for 2 statement coats!! 

Oversized coats over fitted

I've always loved an oversized coat over a fitted coat, I get so excited every time I find another!! As I'm sure you are all aware I'm slightly obsessed with H&M and spotted this in the sales origanilly £39.99 I purchased for only £15 bargain!!


I know I will be getting many wears out of this coat as it looks nice and casual dressed down with skinny jeans and smart with a LBD and a cute pair of heels 


I usually avoid white but it's one colour that I want to start wearing more off wether it be a casual tshirt or a nice lace dress.
