You could get lost in this concrete jungle

Outfit:
Black sheer vest - Topshop (similar)
Green plaid cigarette trousers - Primark (similar)
Flat pointed patent pumps - Zara (similar)

After avoiding Primark like the plague for the past few months, I ventured in there last week to pick up some new pjs and somehow walked out with these. I'd spied a similar pair in Zara a while ago but fortunately my bank account wasn't playing ball and I couldn't afford to splash out. These were a much purse-friendly price at only £12. I'm more than willing to jump on board with tartan this autumn so keep your eye out for many more checks entering my wardrobe.

I wore this to venture to Bounce for a birthday gathering for the lovely Lily and got to have a natter with Aisling too. If you've never heard of Bounce, it's the place where table tennis was said to be invented and is a huge basement offering delicious pizzas and hours of fun on the ping pong tables. Well worth venturing down to one day!

I’m living in a lost generation

Outfit:
Sheer black vest - Topshop (similar)
Green floral double spilt midi skirt - Topshop
Ankle strap stilettos - Primark (similar)
Pink lipstick - Topshop All About Me 

It's this skirt again. Sorry about that but this is a personal style blog and this is exactly what I'm wearing out for dinner tonight. Once I find something I like it tends to be repeated over and over again.  Anyone else guilty of this?! These shoes were an impulse buy from Primark quite a few months ago - I blame my mother for her encouragement. What a good impulse buy they turned out to be! They get full marks for being comfortable even with the thin heel and they feel secure on my feet. A little bondage-style ankle strap gets a thumbs up from me. My uncle put a French plait in my hair when I had my fringe cut this afternoon - i'm absolutely loving the lion mane look!

Like I said I'm off out for dinner tonight to a local Mexican restaurant for a friends birthday. It'll be nice to have a relatively quite Saturday night with a good meal rounded off by a trip to the pub. After Warsaw I'm looking to steer well clear of the dreaded booze - too much vodka was consumed on that trip! It'll be diet cokes all round for me tonight.

Asos a/w collection

I spend too much of my hard earned wages on ASOS so when the opportunity came up to preview their a/w collection with the dream team member Sarah  I was there faster than Usain Bolt. It didn't hurt I also got to spend some quality time with Sarah and Hannah too - what a lovely little reunion it made.

Anyway onto the clothes. It seems like textures will be a big selling point at ASOS this year. Lots of fur, tartan, velvet and ponyhair. Well there goes my wage packet... The gorgeous leopard print pencil skirt is already on the site and it's currently saved in my favourites. I've resisted so far but I'm not sure how much longer i'll be able to hold out. Statement jewels show no sign of fading out and cocoon oversized coats seems to be flavour of the mouth. I'm still trying to work out if they're going to make me look 50 stone heavier. Once again ASOS has pulled out all the trumps - can they ever do any wrong?!
