OOTD | There's something about denim..

ZARA jean jacket, Bershka blouse, H&M black jeans, River Island heels

This is an outfit I wore a couple of days ago, so not really an outfit of the day. But it's an outfit nonetheless. I'm really into combining dark greyish jeans with blue jeans. So combining these H&M jeans I always wear with a quite old ZARA jean jacket is pretty much an uniform for me these days. (with the weather getting warmer, it's getting harder though) It's still lovely for the evenings.

ootd | Denim on denim

Levi's denim jacket, H&M shirt, Bershka jeans, Nike janoski

One of the perks of having older brothers is occasionally receiving their stuff and things that they don't use anymore, like this Levi's denim jacket. The sleeves were a bit too long but I like it rolled up anyway. And it has no pockets, which is a bit annoying since I'm used to having pockets in my jackets. But I can't complain! It's still a rockin' denim jacket. I was in a hurry and just grabbed a simple tee and it wasn't until I stepped a foot outside that I knew that the weather was really nice, so I grabbed this jacket for the day. I've been loving the denim on denim look lately though, so it all worked out. Also, I feel like I've been neglecting my janoski's since I've got my Nike thea's, so I thought I give it some daylight.

What do you think of the denim on denim look?

ootd | The Biker outfit

Primark denim blouse, New Look faux leather vest, Zara skort, Nike Air max Thea

Been out for a little while, but I'm back! Needed some time to get back on uni stuff and some time with some friends. I had a high school reunion last weekend because they were going to demolish the building and build a new one. So I met up with some high school friends and we relived some of our high school days (miss those simple days). 

Some of you probably already know but another big reason that took up a lot of time was.. The Walking Dead. Yup, I went there. I am a sucker for a good tv series and this is another one that got me totally hooked. The thing that got me watching was actually because "the Conan show" did a spoof of the series and did some interviews with the actors. And because all series I am watching weekly are on a short break. So I started watching it on Saturday and have 8 episodes left to watch.. So that means I've watched 3 seasons, 37 episodes, 1665 minutes in 4.5 days. Is that considered healthy? The show is so good though! It absolutely deserve all the rage for it. If you can stomach lots of blood, organs and have a thing for zombies.. You should definitely start watching it.

My days filled with fighting zombies probably had affected my outfit of today. At least my interpretation of a though biker chick, who can kick zombies some asses, look. I've been wearing my Nikes a lot again (driving with sneakers is so much easier) and paired it with my Zara skort. On top I wore a button up denim blouse and to finish it added a faux leather vest. Don't know if I really like the combination of the leather and the skort though. I must have thought so in the morning.. You never know if you don't try, right?

What do you think of my biker outfit?

Style Challenge with ASOS & Urban Outfitters | How to Style a Denim Jacket - 5 Ways!

Denim Jacket: c/o Urban Outfitters & ASOS. Bag: Urban Outfitters. Top: Mums undies! Disco Pants: American Apparel. Boots: TK Maxx

I had an email come through a few weeks ago from one of the lovely ladies at ASOS Fashion Finder HQ asking if I’d like to participate in their ‘Ones to Watch’ feature. After picking my jaw up from the floor and doing a celebratory dance around my room I of course replied and said ‘yes please!’

The feature was to style a piece from Urban Outfitters vintage collection in 5 different ways. I chose this beast of a denim jacketand the task was actually much harder than I had first anticipated, but I gave it my best and you can see the results here.

I thought I would share my favourite of the 5 styles in a full outfit post – y’know give that jacket the recognition it deserves. When I picked the jacket off the website I wasn’t aware that the sizes came up big and went for a small. When it arrived and would quite clearly fit a grown 6ft man I panicked – but when I slipped it on I absolutely fell in love. I think it goes to show that you never know with fashion and that’s why it’s so fun to take risks, because sometimes they can pay off (well, I hope it has anyway!)

I hadn’t pulled my disco pants out for a while so teemed with my mum’s old underwear (who would wear this top as undies can I just ask?), my velvet ankle boots and Aztec backpack I’m quite enjoying the grungy, biker girl feel.

I’d really love to know what you think of the 5 different looks and which one is your favourite :)

Do you own a denim jacket? How do you style yours?

Throwing it Back | Rugrats Style

Dungarees: c/o Oh my Love. T-shirt: Primark. Watch: Guess. Trainers: c/o Bucketfeet

Dungarees of any sort just make me think back to my childhood - specifically watching episodes of the Rugrats - if you're with me on this one / are old enough to know what the hell I'm talking about please can we have a little moment to sing along to the theme tune?

Now I have your attention, let's discuss these dungarees...I have to admit that I bloomin' love wearing them. Not only are they amazingly comfortable, but they really do make me feel youthful which is sometimes quite easy to forget. I am still young and able to have fun - life can get in the way of that and wearing dungarees is a perfect excuse to not act like an adult for a day (or two). 

I picked up this tee from trusty Primark over the weekend and obviously bought it in black too. I do love a plain t-shirt - they're so easy to accessorize and go with everything. 

You know I have a serious shoe obsession and these beauties from Bucketfeet are my new favourites. Not only is the design very cool (yes I said cool) but the story behind the brand is something that I really love. Each shoe is individually designed by a different artist, which means talented artists are not only getting the recognition they deserve but each shoe is completely different and original. They've just launched over in the UK exclusively to Office, go grab yourself a pair (especially as these babies are currently in the sale!)

So, once again comfort prevails and just in time for the sun! Are you embracing your youth in dungarees or would you rather just watch an episode of Rugrats for old times sake? :)
