Over the past few days in London it's felt a lot like spring, which means 3 things: lighter coats, lifted moods & less layers yay! When i layer in London i feel like iv'e been through the whole four seasons just on one trip to work and back. 

On a packed train peeling back my scarf, wooly hat and jumper, then out on the street again with my chapped ankles freezing in my culottes. I just want it to stay like this till summer tbh. Life feels so much easier when the weather's not being a selfish cow.

But anyway, have you ever brought lingerie that's way to pretty to be worn underneath your clothes? Yup, that's me. So this bodysuit has now officially doubled up as outerwear and underwear and i'm not ashamed. 

Lastly a quick side note: This leather jacket has and always will drown me because its actually 'topshop tall' and i'm 'topshop petite' but it was on sale, the last one and size 8 so taking all that into account, I would've been hella stupid to let supermodel sarah with her long arms steal it.

Happy Valentines Day!
Ugh I love love! Like i'd happily record over game of thrones for serendipity and i'm pretty sure i know pretty woman scene for scene. But i kinda dislike the fact that everyone sort of loses the idea of valentines being a day to celebrate love in all forms.

People get so bummed out by the fact their single for the 24 hour holiday that they almost allow it to effect them the same way celebrating Christmas apart from family feels.
Now to me that's insane. (Don't get me wrong, we've all either been or been on the cusp of being bridget jones in that scene where shes slumped on her sofa with a remote and a wine bottle to herself)
But no, seriously to me today's a day to take advantage of promotional offers on chocolate and not letting the fact your single distract you from taking time out of your day to remind family, friends, your boo, lost loved ones/people who you cherish in your life know that you love em. Don't let these romcoms and girlfriends gas you into thinking it's anything else than that! Just be happy and spread lurve.

So its offical, I don't know how to dress for winter and still be 'on trend'. Like either my im freezing and my whole body feels like i've been chilling on a door with jack & rose in the ocean OR i'm super snuggly, with a hat, scarf, gloves the whole shabang looking like a 12 year old who's bunked school. There's no in-between with me. Even layering, like people are out here wearing 20,000 layers under their leather jacket?!
But anyway, I found it super hard to pair trousers with this shirt because its so huge on (Im talking HUGE) But my trusty topshop culottes came through (obvs) and tied everything together. My love for culottes will never die <3 
And how have i got through life without a pair of nude trainers please? My new ellesse babies are my right hand, they're my go to <3
