Yuki A/W Press Event

I was lucky enough to be invited along to Yuki's press event (my first one as a blogger and not a journalist!!) where they showcased their A/W collection. I have to admit I have never brought anything from Yuki but I have seen the label numerous times in the flagship Topshop and admired from afar. They really have some beautiful things coming out, I especially adore the sheer shirts. Autumn features my favourite colour palette and Yuki didn't disappoint. Their clothing was a mixture of rust, olive, navy and cream.I love these three blouses. They would go perfectly with a pair of skinny jeans and skyscraper heels. I don't think I could ever tire of pussy bows.We all know I am a dress girl. They hide an multitude of sins, perfect for bottom heavy ladies like myself! The second dress is my favourite. As soon as I spotted it it just screamed Ascot to me. It will look perfect with nude heels and a matching nude clutch bag. My butterfly fascinator will help to finish it off.

Just look at all these gorgeous clothes!
We were treated very well as you can see! I can safely say that the cupcakes were delish. Thank you ever so much for inviting me Yuki, I had a lovely time nosing about and loved my goodie bag. It came with a free dress, I felt very spoilt!

I want to buy you something but I don't have any money

Outfit:
Brown t-shirt - Primark
Cream 3/4 cardigan - Primark
Cranberry lace skirt with belt - Primark
Nude court shoes- Primark

Walking advertisement for Primark!

This is another work outfit that I have found pictures of. I really like the colours in this, feels so autumn/winter which is my favourite season. Sunshine is overrated. I think I will just add brown tights to cover up the knobbly knees when it starts to get colder. The skirt was a bargain £12, I love it when things don't look like Primark. I think this has a River Island look about it? I really do not know what I will do when these shoes fall apart, kicking myself for not buying a few pairs. They are the perfect work shoes, go with everything!

Off to Clacton in a little while, in fact I should be getting ready... My boyfriend's uncle has a caravan down there and we often go for day trips when his whole family are away on a holiday. Looking forward to some chips by the seafront, I don't think anything else is acceptable if you go to the seaside.

Going to my first wedding reception tonight of people our age. This is really freaking me out as I am 22 but still feel like I am 16! Having been with my boyfriend for nearly 5 years, marriage is frequently mentioned by family members who react in horror when I say thanks but no thanks. At the moment I am more interested in buying my first Mulberry handbag and my boyfriends wants the new Ipad. Maybe this is why we suit?

By the way the title of this post is a Drums song which my boyfriend has decided now belongs to me as it sums me up haha! He knows me so well, I am constantly telling him this! Bring on my first wage packet!

I have so many blogs to comment on and comments to reply too. I will get through them next week I promise, please don't think I am being mean!

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Oh My Darling!

Since I have started work I have been struggling with my work wardrobe. I have about 12 outfits on rotate and have been trying to mix it up as much as possible. I don't like wearing my "normal" clothes to work. I feel like I have to have that distinction. Does anyone else feel like that?


Anyway I was contacted by Darling and asked to look at their selection of clothing. We all know I love a dress and these are no execption! They would all be perfect for work and the best thing is they are all in the sale. Must be a sign!

Darling April Dress - £41.97




Darling Maisie Dress - £38.64


Darling Sylvie Swirl Dress - £41.97Darling Sara Dress - £48.97

Darling Lottie Dress - £38.64


Maisie is a gorgeous dress, I think it might be my favourite. I love the lace detail, it looks so feminine. It would be a shame to cover it up with a cardigan. I can't help to be drawn to florals so naturally Lottie ticks all the boxes! Although Sylvie and Sara are summer dresses they would still look fab layered up with cardigans and tights. I am thinking grey tights to add something a little different? April is structured making it perfect for the working environment. It is just right for working in the city!


Which one is your favourite?
