robyn maydayAll too often, we shy away from seeing the good in ourselves. "I love your outfit today!" - is regularly shrugged off with "oh it's just Primark". Or "that was such a kind thing you did" followed up with a casual "ah it was nothing...".

It seems many of us just aren't very good at taking a compliment. Myself included. And we're also pretty shit at recognising amazing things about ourselves.


WHAT I'M WEARING

A couple of weeks have passed since spring officially sprung, and I'm absolutely living for it. Cue daylight (OMG. YES.) and the best season of trends in forever. Oh and less days of wrapping yourself up in a makeshift clothes-cocoon! Here's why spring is THE superior season IMO...

I'll admit, seeing a 20/30-something with a designer bag is definitely not the norm (at least where I live, hence this silver beauty from ASOS). And I'll also confess to yelling 'HOLY SHIT' when, out of curiosity, I've googled the price of some seriously dreamy pieces. These gorgeous designer creations have become a familiar sight on my social media feeds over the years, with many influencers repping arm-candy from the likes of Gucci, Chanel and YSL. *Cue me furiously double tapping 99% of these 'grams*. But why are some people a bit dick-ish about seeing them on their social feeds?
Valentine's Day outfit
Ah, Valentine's Day. Another day where the sun rises in the East and sets in the West and pigs don't fly. How wonderfully pessimistic of me. Really though, Valentine's Day is just another day... isn't it? Well, I've realised this year that maybe it's not.

Frills. Ruffles. Whatever you want to call them, I'm ridiculously into them right now. Ruffles have been filling my favourite high-street and online shops since late last 2016. Replicating some of the frilly and exaggerated trims seen on catwalks, with far more affordable price tags. Fast forward to spring and frills are still set to be a key trend. Thank the fashion people - as I can't be bothered with one-season wonders.

Ok. We need to talk about this coat. Yes, it's a velvet puffer coat (- or is it puffa?!). And it's potentially the best highstreet find... ever. Coming across a Stella McCartney style jacket for less than 10% of the designer price is a pretty bloody exciting thing, is it not?! I know, I know... velvet isn't everyone's cup of tea. So, if you're not sold, read on to find out why you need a velvet puffa in your life too.

So, it's just over a week until Christmas... yes a week. How terrifying, but equally exciting! To add to my festive excitement, I received this amazing little gift from Radley the other week - the Kennington Mini Domed Grab Bag. And the verdict: I'm seriously besotted! They weren't wrong when they said good things come in small packages.

The cold weather brings with it some wonderful stuff. Snug nights in, crisp leaves, hot chocolate... and leopard print. Ok, so a slight jump there. But it is the ultimate Autumn / Winter print! So I've been thinking of how can I can wear more of it.  And to go the extra mile for this post, I'm not just wearing double leopard print. Yes - that's triple leopard print. Uh huh.

Now, I don't wear dresses that often. But this one is something special. This bargain £19.99 LBD from New Look is an absolute cracker. With a nod to the choker trend and a simple, flattering style, it's just what I need in my wardrobe for the festive season! ie. perfect for skimming a cheese and wine filled belly... or any other Christmassy treat - I'm open to it all 😏. Whilst being easily paired with any shoes or accessories.
House of Holland style

When I spotted this House of Holland sweater I totally fell in love with it. But not wanting to splurge right now, I quickly found this way cheaper ASOS Space Cadet sequin adorned alternative that had to be mine. I came across this £28 beauty hunting on ASOS (as you do) and I featured it in my Velvet and Metallics post a few weeks back.

Making smart casj and casj smart since... well whenever they were invented. I'm a sucker for a tie-front garm. They're contemporary, yet timeless and a bit interesting. Admittedly, they do seem to cause confusion. I still wear this River Island tie sleeve dress three years on (ok, it isn't looking it's best anymore) and to this day it continues to spark conversation.
