Presents!

Again, I'm a bit late, but I just thought I'd share with you what I got from my lovely family for Christmas!

The beautiful wedge heels are from New Look and are so comfy! I've only worn them around the house on Christmas day but I can wear my black ones which are similar all night and they don't hurt at all. I love how despite the fact these are wedges they're so casual and can be worn with any outfit at anytime. 

The bag is also from New Look and is definitely my new little baby. I love it so so much and it's the perfect size to take out shopping, I'm doing a what's in my bag post tomorrow so keep an eye out! It can be carried by the small handle or used as a shoulder bag with the longer detachable strap (which I find easier). 

I knew I was getting these first two items as I ordered them with my Mum's card (at least I knew I'd like it!) but this necklace was such a surprise! It was from Tayla and it's a little envelope type necklace which says 'I Love you Mummy.' on the front and 'There's not a Mummy in the world more special than you.' on the inside! I love little keepsakes like this and it's so original and cute!

I did also get the usual Blu rays and chocolates (all of which I've had to finish over the weekend, wouldn't want to have to just throw them away once I start the gym, now would I?) including a lovely Marilyn Monroe movie box set from my friend which I am actually yet to watch! 

Did you get everything you'd asked dear old Santa Claus for?

Wardrobe Revival, from day to night!

Been trying to create new outfits by reusing certain items I've had for god knows how long and it's harder than you'd think! I had a tutorial today in Leicester and went out for a coffee (I say went for a coffee, I had tea, hate coffee!) with a friend afterwards so thought I'd wear something a bit different than my usual jeggings and a vest top. 

The item I'm reusing here is the bodycon skirt which can pretty much be bought anywhere, I got this particular one ages and ages ago so really don't remember where from I'm afraid! The red swing top  from Boohoo goes great with the skirt, I can never find tops that go well with this skirt so it's hardly been worn. The biker jacket is pretty new, was a spur of the moment purchase while online shopping the other day from Select for only £25! The wedges are also a little old from New Look, I found these alternatives also from New Look for only £19.99. I didn't actually wear the wedges out today, but I think this would be a great night out outfit especially as it's getting colder! I don't understand those girls who still go out in the dead of winter with no jacket on, tis just crazy!

Here's the daytime version of the outfit. I don't know why I automatically put my hand on my hip in full length pictures... It's pretty much the same but with a slouchy cardigan I only bought because I was cold walking around Asda earlier! It's amazing how much difference a jacket can make to an outfit! I wore this with a pair of black flat boots but I think a comfy pair of Uggs would go perfectly. 

That's two outfits I've managed to recycle now, feeling quite proud of myself. I'll have to have a rifle through and see what I have for next week :)
