Once again it's been proven that this tulle skirt is one of the hardest working items in my never ending wardrobe. It goes with absolutely everything. Pat on the back Sophie, pat on the back. I hit up the Topshop sale the day after Boxing Day and managed to walk away with these pumps - totally pretending to be a short Brooklyn Blonde - and two statement necklaces. I do love Topshop jewels but my oh my are they expensive. I can only justify the jewellery in the sale until I become a millionaire. I'm still working on that... These are the first pictures taken using my snazzy new Canon 1100d, a birthday present from my long-suffering boyfriend. Didn't he do well? I'm in love, completely and utterly in love with it.

So 2014 eh? Haven't you crept up on me quickly and who else thinks January is flying past?  New year, new starts and all that jazz. I've been having a think and my first goal of the new year is to try and perfect victory rolls and that elusive beehive. One day I will walk out the door looking like I've stepped back in time. Any tutorials you know to help me on my merry way? I also want to travel more, buy more midi skirts and finally run a 10k. But one step at a time eh?!

Outfit:
Quilted faux leather jacket - Zara (similar)
Charcoal grey polo neck jumper - Primark (similar)
Grey taffeta midi skirt - Topshop (similar)
Black Bayswater - Mulberry
Leather heeled ankle boots - Topshop (similar)
Ultra Glazewear lip gloss in Fiery - c/o Avon

This skirt still holds the honour of being my favourite piece in my wardrobe. It's such a statement and can easily be dressed up or down. Perfecto! I wore this outfit out for a birthday burger at Honest with my blogger babes at the weekend. They very kindly surprised me with the gift of a Lulu Guinness lips clutch bag. I suppose after hearing me drone on and on about how I needed one in my life helped them make their decision. I was absolutely blown away by their generosity - I may have let out an excited squeal - and I feel very lucky to have such amazing friends in my life. Who says internet friends aren't real friends eh?
