I'm not calling you a ghost but stop haunting me




Outfit:
Red sheer long sleeved utility shirt - New Look
Black supersoft skinny jeans - Primark (similar)
Beige belted trench coat - Topshop (similar)
Tartan studded scarf - H! By Henry Holland c/o Debenhams
Dalmation print loafers: Next
Red nail polish: Knockout Liz Earle c/o

When Debenhams got in contact with me and offered me a voucher to try and put my own spin on the a/w trends I knew immediately I had to try and incorporate the punk trend in my wardrobe. After lots of browsing on the website I eventually settled on a tartan scarf. I think an accessory is a great option to try and subtlety introduce a trend without going all out. It's a chance to dip your toe in without having to fully commit. Trends change at such a fast pace that by the time you've invested all your hard earned wages in it, it will be deemed unfashionable in a blink of an eye.

You always need a scarf in the UK thanks to the freezing climate and I think a tartan version will be one you can pull out year after year. This particular one is a brillant option to keep away the chills thank to the supersoft material. I felt very cosy commutuing to work this week!

Have you embraced the punk trend yet?

Review: The Breakfast Club

This is becoming quite a reoccurring post in the blogging world isn't it? Well i'm going to jump on The Breakfast Club bandwagon and share my thoughts. MAKE SURE YOU GO RIGHT AWAY. Seriously it's a winner.




A good few months ago my boyfriend requested we try it out for his birthday as we both had a weekday off. Being the perfect girlfriend I am,  I of course agreed. Not just because I was just as eager to stuff my face there. I really do hate queuing for my food and was pleased when we walked straight in at 11am on a Monday morning.


I was giddy as I painstakingly scoured the menu to help me decide what I wanted to eat. After opting for the breakfast burrito and an orange juice I waited patiently while peeping at other customers food with envy. The portion was absolutely huge and I struggled to finish it all. Of course I did as I had to take one for the team but keep this in mind when you order. It filled us up so much that we didn't actually eat anything again until about 7pm when we opted for a Shake Shack.



Nothing gets on my goat more than when restaurants are a bit tight on the filling. The Breakfast Club filled their plates to the brim. My burrito had huge chunks of chorizo, gooey cheese, roasted peppers, scrambled eye and mushrooms rounded off with a delicious spicy pepper sauce. The side dishes of sour cream, salsa and guacamole went down a treat as I gobbled it all down. The fillings all went perfectly together with the chorizo being a personal favourite. My boyfriend plumped for the Huevos Rancheros as his breakfast of choice. I can personally vouch for the cheese filled tortillas - very tasty!

Fill your boots




c/o Geox

There are two things I buy each year winter rolls around. A pair of new boots and a new winter coat. This year I have opted for a gorgeous chocolate brown western-style pair of ankle boots supplied to me very kindly by Geox.

The little stacked heel makes them easy to walk in whilst smartening them up at the same time. This means they are able to multitask and go from day to night in case an impromptu pub trip after work suddenly arises. The boots equally look just as good with a dress or tucked into skinny jeans for the cold autumn/winter months. It really does pay to spend that little extra on a pair of boots - your feet will certainly thank you for the soft buttery leather. There's nothing worse than hobbling to work with a foot full of painful blisters. Plus they will probably last you through multiple seasons if you don't do anything silly with them!

Have you ever tried any footwear from Geox before?
