OOTD: Markus Lupfer Classic

Half & half choker - Cinderela B via Steph of faiiint

'Classic' t-shirt dress - Markus Lupfer via Ebay £21.52
Molotov Kenta skinny jeans - All Saints £85
Frankie flats - Sam Edelman Birthday gift

Hello lovelies, it's moving week!! Sunday is the day of the big move, and we haven't started packing yet..! How has your week been so far? I'm excited tonight because tomorrow is the first time I'm going to meet a blogger in real life. I'm meeting the lovely Samantha of All I Know Now, for some retail therapy in Liverpool after Sam's Thailand injections. I can't wait!

This outfit is from last week, when Mark and I went shopping and then to Frankie and Benny's for dinner. I absolutely love my new Markus Lupfer piece, I love his use of embroidery and slogans and I just can't get enough. His iconic design is the sequin lips on jumpers, but I always lusted after that perfume bottle jumper. Maybe one day..!

I've been wearing the Classic t-shirt dress as a top rather than a dress, it's much more wearable for me this way and long sleeves are something I always look out for. It's the perfect fit, boxy with skinny fitted sleeves - my favourite. I'm sure at some point I will style this eye-catching piece as a dress, but for now it's making my casual outfits a little bit more special.

How would you style a slogan piece like this?

Little Five Friday #9

Good morning! I've got some lovely snaps to share with you this week, and a gorgeous Post of the Week too. Last weekend with my family was perfect. We arrived late Saturday night, and got up at 6.30am to go to a car boot sale with my mumma, and our family friends Lynn & Maxine. There were many treasures to be had, and our new space is looking very homely indeed now. We spent the rest of the day wandering in the woods with my younger siblings, before the Liverpool game and a delicious Chinese with all of my family. I'd like to say here, that mumma bear is on Day 12 of no smoking - she's doing amazingly, well done mumma!


1. A sneaky peek at our new room at my mum's! I can't wait to share it with
you all once it's totally finished. It's coming together!


2. Phoebe and Indigo climbing this lovely big tree. After a short time in a
rather boring, very muddy playground, we went for a walk around the woods at
Burbage Common. We discovered a little den, and had a lovely time exploring!


3. I received the most beautiful double sided gift wrap from Nicola over at
The Chalk Lion. It's such good quality and so pretty!! Nicola is a lovely
lady too, look at her gorgeous designs on Etsy.


4. I've been enjoying my last few weeks at work before the big move. I finish
on the 5th April, scary! I really do love my job, so I'm quite sad to leave.


5. This week's post of the week goes to the very beautiful Emma at Highland
Fling. Every time I see one of Emma's posts, she makes me want to be more
lithe and ladylike. This post is probably my favourite ever, with Emma seen
wandering in the woods, pretty curls blowing in the wind.

OOTD: Monochrome Markus Lupfer & Vera Meat

Bowler hat - Helene Berman Ebay £7.50
Textured zip-up jacket H&M £2 via carboot
Full skater skirt Warehouse £17 sale (was £45)
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof ring Vera Meat via Asos £13.95 student discount & sale (was £52)
'found' tshirt Markus Lupfer adopted from mum's wardrobe, originally via Ebay

This outfit is from a couple of weeks ago, when Mark & I went on a date night to see Monster's University (which is awesome!). I fell in love with this jacket when I saw it on the carboot sale, but sadly being a size large it is a bit too big for me and therefore not very flattering at all from the front. This is one of my favourite tshirts, and Markus Lupfer another favourite designer. My mum has the white 'lost' tshirt which compliments this one, but I adopted this after the white applique turned slightly grey in the wash - hurrah for me, one mumma bear's loss is a great gain to me.

A little while ago, I won a £50 Asos voucher thanks to the lovely Sarah at Temporary Secretary. One of the things I chose to use the voucher for was this Vera Meat ring, I'd had my eye on it for such a long time and couldn't resist it at a fraction of it's original price. Thank you again Sarah!

What do you think of my first try at monochrome? :)

p.s. This is my 200th post!! I have a 150 follower giveaway planned for September :) hello lovely followers!
