It's Friday!!! + Passion For Fashion Link Up

Bonjour.

 

xXx

 

Haha! You weren't expecting that, were you? Well I'll explain.

As you may have noticed, I've been spending a bit of time recently, on giving my blog a bit of a face lift- a few touches here and there, to make it that little bit more 'me'. Well I've also been thinking along the same lines about content, and have decided that I would like to put my French skills to use and write regular bilingual posts. I've seen a couple of other bilingual blogs, and the idea just appeals to me a lot- what a great way to practise your language skills whilst, at the same time, reaching a wider audience :) I'll have to take some time getting the schedule all set up (I have grand ideas of a potential French language course for beginners too!) but for the time being I think it'd sound good to have 'French on Friday'... what do you think? Let me know your thoughts it the comments :)

But now, for the all important business of the wonderful, weekly Passion For Fashion link up (which also takes center stage of a Friday!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This is an outfit I wore for lunch out with a friend the other day. I always feel very comfortable in skinny jeans and these black ones are my smartest pair. You can dress them, either up or down, just as easily. The top, my Beloved described as 'a bit trippy' the first time he saw it :) I love it for its effortless style- the way it falls and the feminine tie at the back. It really shows off the silhouette. The earrings were a 20th birthday present from my aforementioned Beloved, and I get complimented on them all the time due to their uniqueness!

 

Hope you all had a lovely Friday :)

There's Nothing Like New Socks!

 

Well Hello.

 

xXx

 

It's a bite late in the day I know, but I hope you'll excuse me. I couldn't let Friday go by without showing off these lovely things!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh how I love the sales! I literally did a double take walking by the window of Calzedonia yesterday and went straight in and bought these gorgeous socks! Calzedonia is an Italian brand (hence the style!) and they only have a few shops in the UK (all in London) at the moment, but seriously, if you can- go and have a look :) You can check out their English site here.

 

What do you think? I can't wait for spring so I can show them off with a cute skirt.

 

 

Happy Friday!

A Festive Passion For Fashion

 

 

 Hello.

 

xXx



 

 

Apologies for the blurry photos, I took these in artificial light (!)

This is an outfit I put together last night for going out to a Christmas do with my parents. The dress is actually a summer dress that I got for my birthday back in the spring, so is quite thin and floaty, but I was going for black and white with red and gold accessories, and my only other black dress was a little too much I thought. It was fine coupled with a warm cardigan.

 

My nails are gold with a glittery red top coat, both drugstore varnishes.

 

I tend to find myself throwing on skinny jeans and a t-shirt most days for 'everyday' wear, but it's amazing how instantly feminine putting on a dress can make you feel, especially if you find a cut that really suits you.

 

I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities to wear dresses during the festive season, I'm looking forward to it!

 

Happy Christmas preparations, I've been busy putting up the decorations today- getting into the spirit :)

What I Wore: Comfy Casuals

Hey Ho.

xXx

Well I reckon it's high time I gave you guys a peek into my current wardrobe- I haven't done an outfit post in ages! I thought I'd start off with this simple, casual outfit I put together the other day for visiting friends.

The t-shirt has a really cute vintage design print (to which I added a little cheeky DIY! ) and goes perfectly with my new red jeans, which I picked up in the sales a couple of weeks ago.

Throw on one of my favourite woolies to change up the colour scheme- who ever said pink doesn't go with red?- add a touch of gold for that casual/chic look, get my bag and I'm ready to go!

xXx

What are you wearing?
