Sassy Trackies

Hey Everyone!

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for my lack of posts recently... I seem to have gotten extremely busy what with A levels (sigh) and what not. However, it's now half term and I finally have time to write a post for you (or maybe I'm just procrastinating from the revision which I really SHOULD be doing... but... hey ho). Anyway, BACK TO THE POINT; through the past spring-time months, I've been out and about for friends' birthdays, celebrating the last days of school life (feel like such an oldie) and just generally having a good time to try and free myself from the pressure of A levels. This has led me to buy numerous new clothing items to wear on a night out... and I feel one of my favourite items has to be my Topshop 'sassy trackies'...

Necklace - New Look
Top - H&M
'Sassy Trackies' - Topshop
Shoes - New Look
Watch - Debenhams

   





Although I say so myself, I do love this outfit... I feel it's the perfect blend of pastels, with these pretty pink beaded heeled shoes teamed with a floral pink jewel necklace, cream lacey cropped top and baby blue clutch. What makes this outfit however, is the 'sassy trackies'.

I'd really wanted to find a pair of 'nice and dressy' trousers to wear out on the toon, and as soon as I saw these bad boys, I knew they hit the nail on the head. I was quite surprised that I was drawn to these 'formal joggers' as I absolute despise trackies (sorry...) and I did have my doubts, as I thought they could possibly look abit cheap hence the 'formal jogger' label (sorry Topshop but the name didn't sell it for me). However, the silk and pastelly lilac/pink (very ambiguous) colour allured me to try them on. I was so pleased with the ankle-grazer look and mid-waist fit and found them very flattering... thus I had to buy them.

I've not regretted my purchase since, and haven't just stuck to the pastel scheme either; I've also mixed and matched them with the colour black to provide a more sophisticated look (as you can see in the photo below with my beautiful sister). Cute little heels, in particular, seem to compliment these trousers, as apposed to huge bulky ones which I feel could easily take away the floaty elegance.


But yeah, I guess if you're looking for a pair of 'nice and dressy' trousers to go out in, with the comfort of 'trackies' or 'joggers', I would highly recommend these beauties from Topshop. Trackies most definitely can be sassy!

I hope you're all doing well!

Speak soon,

Alex

Pastel Pink Perfection

Hey everyone! So the other week I was scrolling through the Missguided website and found this beauty... What can I say? It's got the faux fur lining, the silky suede fabric, and the pastel pink colour. It had my name written all over it, so of course, I had to buy it. As soon as I opened the package when it arrived, I snuggled myself into the super soft fabric and genuinely felt like a teddy bear. I've already had so many compliments on this beautiful jacket and I've only worn it twice! I can already tell it's going to be my Autumn/Winter staple. I was initially supposed to be looking for a practical coat for Winter, but given the option between practical or pastel? It's a no brainer ;) Let's just hope it doesn't rain! Pink Faux Shearling Coat - Missguided £49.99   Jumper - Topshop Jeans - Zara Skirt - Missguided £9.99 Shoes - Primark £12 Speak soon! Alex x

Aus Adventure: Welcome to Travel

Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well during these very strange times. I am currently living at Spot X Surf Camp on the East Coast of Australia during the COVID 19 pandemic. It’s a weird feeling being at the other side of the world during all of this madness, but I figured I would use this time to reflect on my Australian journey. I’m sure there are so many people so eager to travel when all of this is over, so I thought I’d return to my blog and write up a cheeky post reflecting on my first couple of weeks in Melbourne pre-lockdown. I always knew I wanted to work and travel in Australia, but I just had no idea where to even start with organising it, especially seeing as I knew I was travelling on my own (scary times). I remember googling ‘tours around Australia’ and it just felt like there were so many different things that popped up that all seemed to say the same thing, leading me to feel more lost with it all. I’ve done lots of travelling before, but I alwa...

Why Instagram is the worst app to be addicted to...

Hey Everyone! So today in the midst of essays, exams and revision, I figured I would write a post about the app that makes our thumbs sore from scrolling, the biggest form of procrastination yet, and the friend we all love but also hate. Yep, you've got it, I am going to put my hands in the air (or on the keyboard) and have a rant about Instagram. Firstly, I have an Instagram addiction. I have always been a lover of the ol' gram. I love capturing moments and making them look as pretty as possible, even if that does mean photos looking staged or unrealistic. I've always loved sharing memories with the world, liking my friends' photos, and even exploring the accounts of other creative people, and following them like I've known them my whole life. It honestly felt like I'd gained an award when Dr. Martens requested for one of my pictures to be posted on their official account. I was buzzing like a bee. However, recently I've found myself not enjoying Inst...
