30 day fashion challenge: day 4

Day 4: a shirt that you haven't worn yet

I bought this bandeau top in New Look the other day, I'm a sucker for anything leopard print! I haven't had a chance to wear it but when the warmer weather comes I'll be wearing it with shorts all the time!

30 day fashion challenge: day 3

Day 3: a piece of clothing or jewellery that was a gift

This is my Pandora bracelet which my parents bought me two years ago :) It's the single layer leather one in purple and I love it! It was £40 :)

30 day fashion challenge: day 2

Day 2 - your favourite shirt

This is my favourite top at the moment! I love how it says Twist & Shout and then it's on a Twister board :) It's so quirky and can easily be worn with jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts everything really. I always chuck it on with my leggings as it's the focal point of the outfit :)
It's by a brand called Goodie Two Sleeves which retails at Topshop and on topshop.com :)

30 day fashion challenge

Over the next 30 days I'm going to be completing the 30 day fashion challenge!

These are the steps:

Fashion Challenge

I saw this on StyleSoCoy recently and have decided I'm going to go for it! I love the concept and now I am so close to fitting in to my pre-baby wardrobe it seemed a good time to give it a whirl. I'm going to try and post one of the below over the next 30 days (not necessarily in this order). I know when I did OOTD for The whole month of September it made me use more of what I had in my closet .. this will no doubt have the same effect. It's a great way to rediscover some old favourites that have slipped off your radar.

1. Your outfit from today.

2. Your favourite shirt.

3. A piece of clothing or jewellery that was a gift.

4. A shirt that you haven’t worn yet.

5. Your favourite pair of jeans.

6. A pair of pants that aren’t jeans.

7. A cute outfit of yours.

8. Your most expensive article of clothing.

9. A cute dress/ skirt.

10. An outfit you wore on a special day.

11. A piece of jewellery that a Grandparent gave you.

12. A piece of jewellery that everyone complements you on.

13. An outfit you wish you had.

14. Cute socks.

15. Your newest purchase.

16. You and someone wearing matching clothes.

17. An article of clothing that you made or altered.

18. A piece of jewellery that you made.

19. All your earrings, rings, necklaces and/or bracelets.

20. Your jewellery box.

21. Something that you only wear around the house.

22. Something you only wear in the summer.

23. An article of clothing/ accessory that you consider lucky.

24. Your favourite pair of shoes.

25. Shoes you love but hardly wear.

26. A mismatched outfit that you’d never wear (go wild: earrings, belts, crazy skirts etc.).

27. A hat.

28. An outfit you are ashamed to say you wore.

29. Something that is your favourite brand.

30. Something from your favourite store

enjoy!

Shoe lust

Over the last few months I've fallen in love with Doc Martens, namely the classic 8 eye 1460 boot. The only downside is the price tag but fake ones are rubbish as the main reason I like them is the material means they last aaaages! I only have 1 pair at the moment but I want more! :(

Lots of people from Cher Lloyd and Janet Devlin to Zendaya and Nicki Minaj have been spotted in a pair of these!

Cher's album cover:) Not sure if she actually owns them or if the stylist give her them to wear for a shoot but these are the ones I have :)

These are the ones I'm getting for Christmas ($&*^£*&GRFIHW(*.

Zendaya from Shake It Up! :)

Nicki Minaj and all her dancers wear a pair in the Superbass video.

Republic haul

My Republic order arrived earlier and I'm so happy:D got a lot of key a/w pieces and it feels like I've got a whole new wardrobe! Republic have recently launched a new teen brand called White Label which I have fallen in love with because they are quite cheap yet great quality and great style of clothes!
