OOTD: WWLBD?

... where WWLBD stands, of course, for "what would Luella Bartley do?" I think I'm going to start quoting that when people ask me how I'd describe my style.


Hairband: British Heart Foundation charity shop; Earrings: Aldo (New York); Ring: ASOS


T-shirt, belt: Primark


Skirt: Century 21 (New York); Necklaces: Superdrug & BHS


Tights: mytights.com; Bag: Urban Outfitters (New York)


Off to my friend Ani's house for a girly sleepover complete with face masks and manicures! I've known Ani for about 6 years now plus we were on the Head Girl team at our old school, so we're in about a million photos together; the only problem is that she has such fantastic natural style that I always look so shabby standing next to her! I think I have her to thank for actually starting to care about what I wear ...

OOTD: Pastel Perfect

Hey everyone! Sorry about the lack of post yesterday – my dad went into surgery this morning so you can probably guess what a madhouse it was over here last night.

Anyway, I took a quick trip into the city to sort out my phone (still not fixed ... I'm just about ready to start climbing the walls right now), wearing this:

Knitwear: $35 = about £25, H&M New York
Belt: attached to a skirt, Primark
Tights: £3.99, Zara
Brogues: £20, New Look
Skirt, socks, earrings: H&M

I looked outside this morning and apparently we've skipped the rest of summer and autumn, and just gone straight to winter. Nice.

OOTD: A little more velvet.

Heya!

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my 'black velvet' post (here) it's always lovely to hear what you think about my outfits/posts! I wore the skirt out tonight for a friends dinner at Nandos! (yum!)

I went for a very monochrome look tonight. I paired the skirt with a grey primark tee and some spotty tights! What do you think? I didn't actually end up wearing these shoes in the end as I rememebered that a) I was driving and b) I'd have to walk a fair way from restaurant to car! So I settled for my topshop black patent brogues in the end!

I only bought these tights yesterday (£2 Primark) but they've already laddered which is really annoying. I don't even remember catching them on anything. I might invest in some better quality ones next time. Does anyone know where I can get some?

Tee & tights - Primark
Skirt - Topshop
Shoes - Dorothy Perkins
Nail Varnish - Apricot Punch - Rimmel

How are your weekends going? I've got a family meal sunday lunch time that was meant to be in April but I got stranded in New York due to a certain volcanic eruption so it had to be rescheduled! It's also my Dad's birthday today!

Also, If anyone knows any shops which sell decent trekking trousers I'd be eternally grateful as I'm struggling to find any that actually fit me (I have short legs!) I'm off on my trip next sunday (so excited) but I'll be gone for a whole month! No internet or anything for most of it!

Lots of Love,

OOTD: Summer Utility

Went out with a couple of friends yesterday to see Step Up 3 (surprisingly deep for a dance movie, I was highly confused, but I'd recommend it) and wore this. Erm, the skirt is not actually as short as it looks:

Top: free, ELLE Magazine
Skirt: £4, Primark
Belt: £10, H&M
Socks: £8, Topshop
Brogues: £20, New Look
Earrings: £3.99, H&M
Ring: £3.99, H&M
Hair slide: £1.50, The Clothes Show
Bag: $37 = about £20, Urban Outfitters

I bought this skirt a couple of years ago to wear to sixth form – we used to have a dress code of smart office-style clothes, and the buttons on the front gave it a lovely smart feel. But yesterday I got so bored of them and took them all off, which means I can belt it and it now feels like a whole new skirt! Plus I have six buttons which I can use to update an old cardigan. Win all round, methinks.

  

The bag was a definite splash-out for me, but it's easily my favourite bag! The design is unbelievably cute and it's exactly the perfect size to fit my phone, purse, iPod and house key inside. I didn't think to take a photo, but the inside is lined with a gorgeous floral pattern and has a tiny pocket too!
