Howdy *waves*.... Just a quick outfit post on an outfit I wore a couple weeks back but I didn't get a chance to take pictures. As promised in my last post I did mention I would take pictures of the outfit and do a post. This outfit was inspired by my new coat, which I am totally OBSESSED with at the moment. This is how most of my outfits are put together really. If I want to wear an item ( shoe, coat, dress etc..) I just put an outfit together based on one item. I ordered my coat and when it came I was in love... as in, in loveeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!. I needed an excuse, any excuse to wear it ( we have all been there right ladies??) it can't be just me lol. There have been times I have been gagging to wear something and i'll call my girls and arrange a dinner date just so I can wear whatever it is. Well I didn't buy it to sit pretty in my wardrobe right?. So I needed ( yes needed) to wear my coat and my friend invited me out with her to a ladies event, so no better chance than now. A little back story on my coat. I have had this image of this coat in my head but couldn't find it anywhere, originally I wanted it in a caramel/beige colour but couldn't find it anywhere. Always came across something similar but wasn't what I wanted then I found it on.....wait for it..... ASOS!!!!. Really don't know why I didn't go to my beloved site to begin with. Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now should know I am obsessed with asos. urgh!! its everything. Getting my hands on this coat was no walk in the park believe me. I wasn't the only one who wanted this bad boy but I was so determined ( in a sort of weird, stalkerish way). When I want something I want it. simple. Originally sold out when I was searching for it but I've been in situations with Asos where something is sold out and it comes back in stock within 10 minutes ( when you shop on the site as much as I do, you tend to know these things ya see). I literally sat on the Asos website for about half hour and yep, you guessed it, it came back in stock and in the size I wanted. I got a size 10 just so I can wear it with different looks and wear it with layers. Wearing this coat is like being wrapped in candy floss. literally. I love it.I can literally wear something so bland and throw it on and it comes alive. No such thing as dress down day with this one. The attention I get wearing this coat is actually comedic, I get stop left right and centre while I'm out, everyone loves it. I stick out like a sore thumb in a crowd but my aim is never to blend in. I matched my coat with a pink skirt from river island and a nude top from Asos. Not the biggest fan of river island, I hardly wear anything from there, I find the way their cloths fit terrible, personally. I really wanted a skirt that exact shade of pink so I gave RI a chance and I still wasn't please with the fitting of the skirt.

                                                          

HOLIDAY FEVER

Hey Folks. It has been a while and I can only apologies for my brief absence. Life has been somewhat busy but I am back now. I would have posted a few of my looks previously but my friend who takes my pictures has been very busy as well but I will try and do a back log as soon as. So I just came back from holiday, I went to Portugal, Algarve Albufeira for a week and of course I just have to share my pictures with you all. It was a last minute holiday and I was a bit concerned about the weather at this time of year in Europe but there was no problem at all. The only issue I had was that most of the attraction that I was looking forward to, was closed due to the time of year. Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise right? because most of the attractions were closed, I really got a chance to relax which was what my body has been screaming for. I've never been one to take it easy so the rest was really over due and my body is thanking me for it.
