Flowers In The Window

Blouse - H&M / Jumper - H&M / Jeans - Joe Browns / Shoes - ASOS / Necklace - Cheap Frills

Jeans are something I wear all the time because they are just so comfortable & easy to wear. I don't tend to photograph outfits with them much because they're pretty bog standard. Recently I've been lusting over some floral jeans after seeing them on loads of celebs & doing the rounds on tumblr. I was sent these floral jeans by Joe Browns. I'd never ordered anything from Joe Browns before but these arrived really quickly. They're really comfy and fit perfectly around my waist & hips. I do find that the legs are bit baggier than the style of jeans I would normally go for and they're a little bit long on me so I had to turn up the ends slightly. I thought these would be the perfect floral jeans for Spring but this wonderfully hot weather we've been having is making me want to cut them up into some cute shorts. The print is really pretty so I think turning them into shorts would suit my body shape a bit more. Gem has a great tutorial for doing just that and they seem super easy to make.

Today I've just been catching up on housework and I started reading The Hunger Games. I really want to go see the film but figured I should probably read the books first. I'm really enjoying it so far. Has anyone been to see the film yet & if so how was it? Tomorrow my mum & sister are coming up. They're taking me & Chloe to Nando's which is exactly what I'm craving, not been in yonks! Its my sister's 28th birthday today and Chloe's 2nd next week so its kind of an inbetween celebratory meal. Guess I'd better go buy her a card before she arrives!

I put all the entries for my Missguided giveaway into a list and used random.org to generate the winner. Congratulations to... Helenlouise! I'll be in touch very soon :)

Jumper - H&M / Top - American Apparel / Skirt - American Apparel / Necklace - Cheap Frills
A ridiculously large portion of my wardrobe is made up of American Apparel clothes. Sadly for my bank account, that doesn't stop me from wanting to buy even more stuff. When I saw that they had 20% off on Cyber Monday I ordered a couple of pieces that I've had my eye on. I got this silky peter pan collar top because it goes with pretty much everything ever. Its oversized so if you're under a size 14 I would go for for the XS/S. I also got this double layered chiffon skirt which I'd been lusting over in the shop in Leeds. I was also going to order one of the cable knit jumpers but they didn't have the colour I wanted in stock. Instead I settled for this black jumper from H&M which was a lot cheaper at £12.99.

I've been looking for a nice cameo necklace for quite a while now and I finally found one that I like. I got mine from Cheap Frills. I'm completely in love with it and its such good quality. How cool is the red glittery wax seal on the packaging?! Cheap Frills have some really lovely jewellery which would make the perfect Christmas present. If you follow them on their Facebook or Twitter accounts you can get some exclusive offers and discount codes which is always a brucey bonus!
