A Match Made In Heaven

Sorry its been so quiet here for the past few weeks I've been busy at work and the days I've had off seem to have gone in a flash but i do have an outfit for you all today. I hope you've all had a great few days off work and a nice Xmas if you celebrate. A few weeks ago now I went to the Tshirt Store opening, here is what i wore to that and for food with the hubby!

So here is what I wore, this is a top and skirt from Clements Ribeiro for Evans but I wore them together as I think they look great as one! I found these both on the generous side when I tried them on so the top and skirt are both a 20. I love the skirt and top they are made from a thin jersey so have stretch in them and the print is an amazing glove print!

I really love the length of the sleeves on the top but as it was freezing when we went out so I added my biker jacket from New Look inspire. The jacket is a size 22 and is now in the sale, i love it its really comfy and warm and it added a bit of edge to a pretty girly outfit.

I added my Irregular Choice scotty dog flats and i wore my hair in a bow this was like the 2nd ever time I'd done it so i was pretty pleased!

I'm back at work tomorrow (bonus prize if you can come rescue me!) then off for the New Year do you have any plans ?

Scarlett & Jo

I was contacted last week and asked if i wanted to review a piece from the new Scarlett & Jo range for Evans which is due in store in the next few weeks. I wasn't told what the piece would be other than it was a top/tunic and was shown a picture of a piece in a similar shape. I couldn't wait for it to come not knowing what it was made it more exciting.
It arrived at the weekend and when i first saw the print i was unsure it was very me but then i put it on and i fell in love!

I was sent a size 24 which is a perfect fit for me, the tunic is made from a thin very soft jersey material which will be great for the summer.

I decided to take this opportunity to get my pins out, and i love how the tunic looks with nude legs.

The tunic has a dipped hem so at the back it covers my bum and goes down to just above my knee but at the front is mid thigh.

The tunic has a really lovely print which is quite eye catching so i kept the rest simple with some black kitten heels and a leopard hair scarf. Although this isn't something i would have picked myself I'm so glad i got the chance to try it as i really have fallen for it.

You could wear this tunic with leggings or jeans if you don't want to get your legs out or if it's a bit of a blustery day out. I actually put my denim shorts on underneath just in case but you couldn't seen them unless i lifted the tunic up.

I can see this getting a lot of wear over the warmer months i think it would make the perfect outfit for a day in the park or for a fun day with friends.

Have you taken a look at the Scarlett & Jo range do you have any favourite pieces? I'm in love with  this tunic !

A faux jumpsuit

Happy New Year to you all, i hope your all having a great new year. I have seen a few resolution posts but i don't make any resolutions or goals for the coming year. I like to live by the rule if i want to do it i will and if i don't i won't and that has made me pretty happy for the last 12 months :)
You have seen quick picture of this outfit on a previous post but as I'm totally in love with this outfit i thought I'd show it to you again. My lovely hubby got me the Mimosa print trousers and top from the Evans sale and gave them to me for Christmas. I have fallen in love with these when they first came out but at £45 each they were a little expensive. When i saw they had gone down in the sale to £20 each i was so excited and my lovely hubby said he would get them for me.

I am 100% completely in love! I have worn this outfit quite a few times since i opened it on Christmas day, i just want to wear it all the time its so comfy and cute. The trousers are a size 20 i found i could size down with these as they are quite generous and the top is an 18, again i sized down twice in the top as i wanted a more fitted look. The top is available here and the trousers here if you love them as much as i do.

Sorry for the slightly blurry shot here not sure what happened. The trousers have pockets which is always good, a elasticised waist band and are made from a jersey material with stretch. Everything about this outfit is so comfy and i think it looks great. I want more of these tops and trousers in different prints, as i think they are amazing.

This is my husband just said something sarcastic look

I wore this with my new look cardigan as it was quite chilly out but i can see this being worn a lot during the summer as the material is quite lightweight. 

I think this is quite a love it or hate it outfit but i love it sooo much!

XOXO

Im a lucky lady

I hope you all had a lovely time over the past few days. I had an amazing Christmas day, me and the Mr got up and had coffee and tea in bed while we opened our gifts from each other, then we packed up our other presents and the presents we had bought my mum and set off to her house.
We had a great day and i loved seeing my mums face when she opened her presents, we got her a kindle as she loves to read but doesn't have the space for lots of books. We had lots of mini party foods to eat during the day as we never have a traditional Christmas dinner and enough deserts to feed a small army!
I was very lucky on the day and got lots of really amazing presents, which i am really thankful for. I thought I'd share them with you.
Here's what i got from my lovely hubby
He got me a external hard drive for my laptop, which i really wanted as I'm a bit weird and live in fear of loosing all my stuff! I also love Simon's cat so he got my a journal and a 2103 diary. The skylanders book as he says I'm obsessed but i just like playing it, i know it's more of a kids game but when it comes to gaming i definitely have a kids brain. He also got me the Clements Ribeiro mimosa trousers and top and the floral kimono dress, when i saw them last week in the sale he offered to get them for me, which was lovely.

From my mum i got the most amazing teacup and saucer, i love it and have wanted one for ages. 

The Help and Hairspray on DVD i only saw them recently on the TV and i loved them so i can't wait to watch them again.

I really love this shawl that mum got me from a vintage shop near her, and it has faux fur on it too which you all know i love!

I really love the little hat which feels lovely and fleecy and has cat ears! my mum knows me so well :) A beautiful butterfly brooch and a little tin handbag with sweets in, when I've eaten those I'm going to use it to keep my hair grips in and they always end up all over the floor.

My auntie got my a nail polish set and bumpits. Ive already used the polish and love it,it only needed 1 coat! 

Lastly i want to say a big thanks to Lolly likes for my gifts they were a complete surprise. The was a piece of banana and chocolate cake too but the mr ate that (and gave it a 10 out of 10).

I got a lovely selection including a lovely pearl necklace,2 brooches,mirror,tweezers,nail files,nail polish and lip balm.

I really love this custard ream brooch which Lolly made herself its amazing :)

Here is a very quick outfit picture from the day, i wanted to wear my new clothes straight away and went for the mimosa top and trousers.

I hope you had a great day too. 

What did you do for Christmas ?

XOXO

Clements Ribeiro take 2

So today the Clements Ribeiro range went into Evans stores, i was lucky enough to be on a early shift at work today so my lovely hubby was kind enough to take me to the store to try on. I'm sure i have said this before but the staff at Evans meadowhall are the best bunch of ladies ever! They are so friendly,happy to see you and ready to see you strut your stuff in the changing rooms. I think nice staff in shops is important, they honestly make me feel like you've gone into a friends shop.
I would like to apologise for my messy hair it was straight from work and i was a little flustered.
So onto the pretties…
Firstly i tried on lace grace £95

This dress is a size 22 i found the fit good but i did have to squeeze the skirt part over my bum ( i do however have a pretty sizeable booty so i don't think everyone will find this). Out of everything i tried on this was my least favourite but it's still a great dress. There are lots of different textures and its a very well made and well fitting but not really colourful enough for me.

Next is wisteria 21 £75

This is a size 22 and maybe a little small over the tummy area. I really love the print of this dress and it was one of my favourites but i think i would size up to a 24. The material was very silky and soft and i love the lace details.

Next up mimosa print trousers £45 and top £45

I wore the top tucked into the bottom as i'd seen Bethany rock on her blog. I really love this the print i great and the jersey fabric is so light weight, i tried the top in a 18 and the bottoms in a 20. I really wanted to buy these but i decided on the next two dress instead. I think I'm mourning the top and trousers as i type!

Next up celia £75

This is a 22 and fits perfectly I'm so in love with the print and the lace cutouts on the shoulders are just perfect. The length on me is fab and can be worn with or without tight without me worrying about flashing. I have so much love for this dress.

Last but not least betty £75

Again i tried this on in a 22. The dress is lined and feels quite thick which is perfect for the winter. I was drawn to this dress because of the gorgeous print and colours, i can see me getting lots of wear out of this.

So that was my after work adventure, i had intended just to go in to try on but i folded and my lovely hubby bought the two dresses for me he's the best!

Have you got anything from the collection yet or tried any pieces on ?

XOXO
