Patterns, Heels & Dresses

H&M is a little hit and miss sometimes. There are times I go in and I want everything and others when nothing jumps out at me and I leave empty handed and sad to not have some other item to add to my already bursting wardrobe.

These printed pants were on a Spring Offer. Originally £14.99 each, reduced to £7.49 each - bargain! I love trousers especially printed ones. I'm still figuring out how I want to wear them - the great tight vest top vs loose vneck tee debate is raging, it is tense! - I love the depth of the red print. They look more luxurious and a richer, heavier fabric rather than they actually are.  The black with white print will go with so much. I am searching for a orange tshirt to go with these, I think it would look amazing.

The next was a "I really shouldn't buy these but I am going to" moment - we all have these! These New Look pumps were a steal at £16 (Students get 20% off at the moment) and go with everything, pretty much! I plan on wearing them with this lace sundress from H&M. I didn't have dressy shoes that would go with it on a night out so I had to buy them! My bad...

The dress is just so girly and perfect. Totally not me but I love it with a bright clutch and a deep tan. Perfect. This dress comes in mint green too, I bought this but decided that I didn't need two of the same dress when we will probably have a week of summer sunshine!This dress is exceptionally hard to photography when not on the body but you get the general idea.

Happy Friday!

Hello!

Long time no blog! University got crazy busy but things are starting to slow down now. Thankfully. Dissertation has been handed in - a massive, massive thank you to all the Twitter users that took part in my research. Very much appreciated. My exam was today so just one report due in a week on Friday and then I am done! University is over!

I definitely want to get back into blogging now things aren't as manic. I lost my love for it a little bit but after a break, it is back! I want to blog about more things rather than just fashion and clothes. That said... if you follow me on Twitter - Link - you will know that recently I have been on a little workout kick. I have always been into health & fitness since I initially lost about 3 1/2 stone when i was about 18/19. I have wanted to be really toned for summer so I took it upon myself to get it! I have been working out 6 days a week. Not major, high intensity workouts every time but a mixture of toning, pilates and cardio. Que a few workout wear related purchases...


These neon shorts are from the H&M sportswear range. I got Neon pink and orange but they have 3 other colours. I love them. So comfy & easy to chuck on to workout in. Plus a bargain of bargains at £7.99! Link to the shorts is here.

In other news, I am growing my hair out! I have had a very short pixie cut for a good few years now but I fancy a change. I want some hair! The aim is a messy bob ala Julianne Hough but for now it is at this stage...
 
My hair now, freshly cut to let it grow in in a nice way! 


My hair super short on the 18th of March. I actually can't believe how short it is.

Apart from that not too much has been happening! I cannot wait to get back into blogging and to reading blogs now that I have some more free time. Enjoy this bootiful spring night!

Nice day for a white wedding.

Some random shots from the day but this is my wedding outfit from my friends wedding. How beautiful does she look?!

Back to me... I wanted to wear a put together dinner suit to the wedding rather than a dress which meant that apart from the men - obviously - I was the only one in a suit! I kept it all black with some rose gold pointy toed heeled from Topshop - bargain sale buy last summer - a black beaded clutch and some cobalt blue H&M sparkly earrings. Layers of fake tan, lashings of eye liner and I was ready to celebrate the holy matrimony!

Sunday Diary #16

1. I haven't blogged in about 2 weeks for a variety of reason. Mostly uni work - the end is in sight - and I lost my lust for blogging but after a little break & getting a good chunk of uni work done, I think it is back.

2. Last week I went to my friends wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. She looked stunning & was a lovely day.  After the wedding I went home to my Mum and Dads for a week which was also lovely. I love going home!

3. I gave up fake tan a few months back after being a serial user. I like embracing the pale for a while but now I am embracing the tan. I love fake tan, as long as I am tanned and have eyeliner I am a happy Emma!

Happy Sunday! x

Sunday Diary #15

Late again...

1. It was my friends Hen weekend this weekend. Lucky she was having it in Edinburgh so I could go - even if I was late both nights. I had a top night and cannot wait for the wedding! All I have to do now is get through my shift at work. Wish me luck.

2. I have become totally addicted to Criminal Minds, I mentioned that I had started watching it last week, I seriously cannot get enough of it. Love it! Morgan is a baaaaabe! <3As is Spencer... got to love a smart guy.

3. I am considering growing out my hair a bit. Nothing drastic just a long, messy bob type of thing. I just want some hair to play around with! Grow hair, grrrrroooow.

4. Uni has been crazy busy. As I am sure you are all sick of hearing about but the end is getting closer and closer wooo hooo! I feel like recently all I do is post these posts but I just seem to have no time to blog interesting stuff. This week I am going to make an effort to get some blog posts done. Please complete my survey if you haven't already, it would be very much appreciated: survey link

White Blazer.

Over the past few days I have been craving a white blazer. Why this is, I have no idea. After
 about 5 minutes wear it will probably be an interesting shade of mucky grey but it is what my heart has been calling out for! In my typical Social Media junkie character, I went onto Pinterest and Tumblr searching out white blazers. So here are a few that are pushing me towards a purchase...

Red velvet.

I bought this red velvet dress from ASOS marketplace on a total whim. I cannot give you one solid reason as to why I bought it. Not a single one. However I think styled up properly, it has serious potential to be a nice day or night dress. I think I need a thicker belt with it but for now this studded belt from Zara sale a few summers back works pretty well. The dress is a flattering cut if a little short but that's nothing that a pair of tights can't fix.  Plus it is velvet, who doesn't love velvet?!
