daniel wellington york rose gold watch

DANIEL WELLINGTON YORK ROSE GOLD WATCH - £129

Watches are my favourite accessory/item of jewellery to wear and although I already own far too many I'm always lusting over getting another. Typically girls go crazy for bags and shoes but oddly enough I'm all about the watches! My new obsession is with the brand Daniel Wellington, I adore the simple yet classic design of their watches, the one I went for was the 'York' design which has a dark brown strap complete with rose gold detailing. In my eyes it couldn't be any more perfect, it's sophisticated enough to wear with smart outfits but looks equally as good paired with a floaty summery dress, the rose gold sparkles when worn with a tan. The leather strap on the watch needs to be worn in a bit as at first it feels straightened out and isn't flexible, but that's my only complaint about the watch itself. I wasn't a fan of the packaging either as it's just a very plain and cheap looking cardboard box type design and when you are paying over £100 for a watch isn't what you'd expect. Overall I absolutely love the watch and can definitely see why they are becoming so popular amongst bloggers and in magazines. The Dogeared Karma Gold Dipped bracelet is the one shown in the photos above, it's my all time favourite piece of jewellery!

galaxy print sweater


 GALAXY PRINT SWEATER - FIREBOX - £39
 DISCO PANTS - AMERICAN APPAREL | TRAINER WEDGES - ZARA | BABY PINK CHAIN NECKLACE - TOPSHOP
 
A third outfit post in under a week, that's what you call dedication! In all seriousness, I've found the perfect spot for taking outfit photos and have also bought some new clothes recently which has revived my interest in fashion. Recently I was gifted this amazing sweater by the wonderful people at Firebox and have been loving wearing it, not only is the print utterly mesmerizing but the sweater itself is super soft and feels ever so comfy which is always a plus.

& other stories

 BLUE LACE BRA - £17 | BLACK MESH BRA - £29

Recently I had a little shop over on the & Other Stories website, I'm sure that you will have all heard of the brand now but if not it's a high street label brought together by the brains behind H&M and Cos. The prices are pretty mixed which I like as it means there is a lot of variety and different options depending on your budget. I got an offer for free delivery and the package arrived within a few days, the box that my order came in had little packages and envelopes along with tissue paper inside containing separate items. I went for a pair of golden rhinestone drop earrings which I absolutely love, they were a little expensive but the quality reflects that. Next up I picked up two lace t-shirt bras, these feel so comfy yet look beautiful on, I'd definitely recommend them but be careful of the sizing. I had a browse in the beauty section too which was filled with so many products that I'm now lusting over, I was very restrained and only went for a contour cream in the end which I can't wait to try.
