OUTFIT: "Dibs on the Drummer"

I saw this jumper on Instagram and instantly had to buy it! A couple years ago I saw a vest in H&M which said I prefer the drummer but I didn't buy it and regretted it so this time I just had to snap it up. In case you hadn't guessed my husband is a drummer ... so you can see why I jumped at the chance to own this bad boy. It also helped that the jumper was on sale at Hollister for £10. 


I kept it really simple with this outfit letting the jumper speak for itself, so I paired it with ripped skinnies a black wool hat and this awesome Nikes.

LIFESTYLE: New Purchases!

So last week me and the hubby took the week off to chill and get some bits done around the house. It can be really hard to get stuff done due to hubby working Saturdays so every now and then we take a few days or a week off together. 

During the past week not only did we do some home decor but we also went across to Cumbria to visit friends and then had friends visit us,  in between all of this I managed to mix in a bit of shopping. I got some really nice bargains!  


 These awesome piece were in the New Look SALE! The statement necklace was only £12 down from £30! I was a bit dubious about the sheer size of it but I've not had it off since, I love it, really adda a pop to an outfit. Also rather amusingly it jingles when I walk ... no sneaking up on anyone ha! 
I had to get the earrings as I love turquoise, not only is it my birth stone but its also a really nice statement colour and pairs nicely with silver which I wear quite often with my skin tone. Both sets of earring were reduced to under £5 each.

OUTFIT: Borrowed from the hubby ..

Couldn't decide what to wear the other day so I decided to take a look on Pinterest .... I was looking at what to wear with my green knit jumper and found a really cute outfit with a blue check shirt. Unfortunately I don't own a blue check shirt ... However my husband does hehe so .... I raided his wardrobe. 

Here is my latest outfit post complete with hubby's shirt. 


Start with one pair of super skinny jeans.
