Glitter Knit

Jumper : M&S Limited Collection
Disco Pants : American Apparel
Boots : Primark
Gilet : Primark
Watcher : Micheal Kors
Jewellery : Spirit Child and Various

I picked up this beautiful sparkly jumper from M&S in the sale reduced from £35 to £17. I really love glittery knit in the winter months, adds a bit of glitz to an everyday outfit. I think I own about 6 jumpers of the glitter knit variety and they are a staple in my winter wardrobe. I have had this gilet for about 6 years but really need to get myself a black one.

Can you believe it is only 28 days until Christmas? This year has gone so fast, can't believe it's Christmas already. Time to put the tree up next week! I have spend my day off wrapping the presents I have so far and writing on cards. I have done well to get 70% of my Christmas shopping done before December this year, I'm usually so late with it.

OK thats all for now!! Until next time...

Fluffy Knit

Jean : Primark
Top : New Look
Cardigan : Primark
Boots : Customised by me
Necklaces : Spirit Child Jewellery

So I spent today wandering around pet shops trying to find my dog a new bed, wasn't very successful I must say but came away with this cardigan, which wasn't from a pet shop. As soon as I saw it I knew it had to be mine! I wanted the same one last year but it sold out before I had the chance. It's so warm and fluffy, I will probably live in it when it gets colder. They also have it in dark green and burgundy but I thought black would go with everything. May have to nip back for the burgundy one though! The jeans were a bargain at £8, even if they last me one season (which they won't, I've had Primark jeans last me years!) they would still save me a lot of money. I love burgundy at the moment, it's the perfect autumn colour and I'm hoping to get a burgundy fedora at some point.

On to my boots. You may or may not have seen these beauties over at Wild & Free Jewellery. As much as I love them I can't justify £100 plus shipping from America for boots at the moment. So I remembered I have a pair of cowboy boots that never get worn, why not make some myself? I literally cut my boots down the back, folded them over and added lots of broken and worn out belts. I'm yet to stitch up the backs but love how they have turned out so far. Love a good bit of DIY!

I'm off to make myself a cuppa tea and chill with the puppy, until next time! <3

I've been wearing this skirt quite a bit recently as it adds a bit of happiness to a dull day. I love it teamed with leather and a band tee.

Apparently GFC is shutting down, I've only just heard about this and everyone seems to be moving over to Bloglovin' so please re-follow me over there...



Introducing my little baby Dougie. He's a Sprocker Spaniel (half cocker, half springer) and only 10 weeks old. We've had him 3 weeks now and he's a naughty puppy but we love him loads! His favourite thing at the moment is running up and down the stairs and grabbing things from the bin, as you do!

Little Black Dress

Dress - Boohoo
Belt - Primark
Boots - eBay
Jacket - Primark

I've been looking for a little black dress I can wear day and night for ages but dresses tend to make me look young due to my height or lack of. I decided on a wrap dress and found this one for £15 at Boohoo. It's really versatile and can be dressed up and down. I went for this belt I picked up from Primark to add a bit of sparkle along with the jacket. This was actually a day outfit I wore for a bit of Christmas shopping but you can dress it down more with flats or chunky boots and a cardigan or dress it up with platforms and a leather or sequin jacket for a party or drinks night.

Do you have a favourite little black dress?!

So this is my first proper outfit post since I moved in with my boyfriend, I was a little embarrassed doing these photos outside as there are so many houses around and I always feel like someone is watching me but I'm glad to be back with a new OOTD.

I picked up this jumper in Primark for £6 a few days ago and I love it, it's a lovely fine knit and is so useful for this time of year. I'm sure you're all so bored of seeing me wear these boots for the past year none stop so you'll be pleased to know I have some new boots ordered that are not black and are not called Ambush, they are pretty much the same shape though, what can I say?!

Incase you are wondering my nails are imPRESS in Tweetheart (glitter is Technic in Carnival) which you can get from Boots and Superdrug, they are fantastic for a quick manicure and have lasted me 9 days so far, the box says up to 7 days so I'm happy with that. I would definitely recommend them for a special occasion, I'm going to get them in black for Christmas and New Year!

When I reach 200 followers I will be having a giveaway so please spread the word about my blog, I would really appreciate it!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Casual

Hey everyone, I'm so sorry for the hiatus yet again, I'm such a bad blogger! I promise I'm gonna at least try to do some outfit posts this Winter!

I saw this jacket on the amazing Lily @ LLYMRS a few months ago and fell in love so when I saw it in my local Primark for £10 I had to grab it. It looks so much more expensive than a Primark jacket as well and is perfect for bringing in the metallics trend this season. I love the leather lapels too! You can easily dress this jacket up or down.

This outfit it pretty casual but the jacket adds a bit of spice to it which I love!

Cosy Jumper

Jumper - Primark
Disco Pants - American Apparel
Scarf - Primark (old)
Hat - Dorothy Perkins

I got this jumper from Primark last week and I love it. It was £10 and it's so soft and snuggly. I think they have definitely improved their knitwear as a couple of years ago I wouldn't buy it, it was so horrible and this year there are some gems. I finally got the AA disco pants with the help of a nice little 10% ASOS discount code I found flying around the internet. They cost me £63 and I still feel bad about spending that much on one item but they are worth it! They fit beautifully and I love the fabric of them. I have noticed they are pretty thick so good for the colder months!

You may have noticed I have changed my blog name and had a bit of a blog makeover. I got bored of Studs & Lace and thought something a bit more simple would be better.

Yesterday I got the amazing khaki jacket with leather sleeves from Primark for a bargain £25. Its gorgeous, expect to see it in an outfit post very soon!

Here's my Band of Gypsies kimono again. Perfect for throwing over a vest to nip out in the sun. I don't like going out with too much arm on show!! These photos were taken in my gran's garden, it has loads of secret parts to it, I love it. How does she get her grass so green?!

As you can see I'm wearing my new Wavy Jewellery items I won through their giveaway. I won 2 bracelets and an above knuckle ring and I love them, you should definitely check out their shop if you haven't already, I'll definitely be buying some things in future and the prices are so good too!

I've been thinking of changing the name of my blog. I came up with the name Studs and Lace when I was more into well, studs and lace haha. My blog doesn't feature alot of that anymore, I want more of a simple name. Any suggestions anyone?!

Right I'm off to tan my legs some more after seeing these pics!!

I have wanted a dip hem dress or skirt for ages but every one I've tried on has looked ridiculous on me. I actually walked past this dress as I didn't know if I liked the print but my mum said I should try it so I did and loved it! Think I'll be wearing this quite a bit in the summer!

Hope you all had a great jubilee weekend!
