What Milly Wore: Valentines with Asda!

Hi everyone, Hope you've has a lovely valentines!

Whether your taken or single, its a great excuse to get dressed up :)

You may or may not know I've been with my boyfriend Neil for just over 9 years,

and we're not really into going out, so we've had a quiet night in and it's been lovely.

I was lucky enough to be sent this gorgeous outfit to wear by George at Asda

 

I chose this gorgeous knitted dress

It's called the Graduate Fashion Week Knitted Midi Dress and is £18

it's currently sold out online, but you may be able to find it instore.

Or they have a similar one in a maxi style here

Designed by the winner of the knitwear award at Graduate Fashion Week Caitlin Charles-Jones
It's black and orange, and has a gorgeous geometric illusion pattern on it

and it's very slimming and flattering. 

I got my usual size 14, but actually could have sized down to a 12.

I was also sent a surprise accessory!!

which was this great gold and black necklace with triangles that is £6

it goes really well, with the shapes theme and it's a good length for the neckline

I wore my asda goodies with:

Long sleeved black t-shirt (underneath) - Primark

Long sleeved black cardigan - New Look

It's pretty cold so layering up was essential!

Black Leggings - Matalan

Black Leather Waist Belt - Warehouse (many moons ago)

Black leather biker boots - Clarks Majorca Sun (lasy year or the year before)

Black leather barrel bag with gold studs - Deena and Ozzy - Urban Outfitters (sale last year)

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 10: Little Drummer Girl

 It's nearly Christmas, I'm well excited!!!

Here is day 10 of my Christmas jumper challenge

I started with some basic primark leggings 

and a jersey denim skater skirt from new look  that was £5 in the sale a few months ago

 

The jumper I chose to wear was this cute Topshop sweater.

Its got a quirky drum motif on the front which I love, I got it in the sale about a year ago.

Its a bit more fitted and thinner than most jumpers I've been wearing 

which made a nice change :)

I added my Tatty Devine Red Spot Collar necklace that I got in a swap last year.

 

 

The bag I used was this lovely vintage Coach brown leather bag.

It's great for the weekends but too small for work!

Finally I wore these lace up leather boots from Jones Bootmaker

I got them when I worked there last year

They are so comfy, and have that vintage feel

only two more jumpers to go!!

xXx

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 9: Punky Christmas

Here is another of my Christmas ensembles!

I wore some tartan/plaid treggings by Topshop that I got last year in the sale

very comfy and easy to wear, but do give and feel loose by the end of the day!

I like the punk feel they have, which inspired the rest of my choices for the outfit.

This jumper was once again from my local vintage shop http://secondhandroseworcester.co.uk/

They also have an etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/SecondHandRoseWorc

I love the 80's feel, with all the embroidery and embellishments

it also has shoulder pads!

Bag wise I went with my multi glitter candy bag by Furla,

that I got in the January sales online last year.

One of my favourite bags that I own.

It feels very festive with all the sparkle.

Finally I finished it off with these 'Alpine' boots by Acne

I got the from Shoeaholics last year, for around £100 which was a bargain

considering their original full price of £570

They are a dream to wear, shearling lined, 

amazing quality and they didn't even need breaking in! 

Great for that stompy punk military look.

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 8: Pixel Pullover

Hi all,

This is the outfit that I wore on Thursday

I wore M&S Corduroy leggings in Navy,

With a Black Topshop Bodycon Vest Dress

and a geometric/aztec print snood from the mens section at River Island

and of course this Statement Christmas jumper from River Island,

I got it in the sale last week for £20

I love the geometric 'pixel' style pattern.

I got a Medium, its more than big enough, quite oversized. 

I picked out the bright colours of the jumper

with this Green leather biker jacket bag by Angel Jackson

I got it for my birthday a couple of years ago

It was a bit of an investment, but such good quality and well worth it.

It was rainy and cold so I wore my Brown Hiking/Walking boots by Manas

italian leather, yet very practical and comfy!

only 4 xmas jumpers left!

xXx

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 7: Streets of London

Day 7 and I was loving the purple! 

I was feeling a little more casual, and it was raining.

So I put my hair up and wore minimal make-up

I started with simple skinny jeggings from matalan.

Then added this, my final jumper from British Christmas Jumpers!

This is the Christmas in London Edition 2 jumper

Once again I got a L, which fits  me great.

It was £30 in the sale

Honestly all their designs are gorgeous I highly recommend them.

I added these purple boots by Red or Dead

I think they were from schuh  a few years ago.

Very comfy, and good quality leather too.

Finally this pleather bag from Topshop a few years ago

in a gorgeous metallic aubergine/pewter colour.

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 6: Vintage Merry Christmas

Yesterday was day 6, and I went for a burgundy and green elfy ensemble!

I wore green high waisted skinny jeans from Next

Stag necklace from Elsiebelle

Awesome Vintage 90's Merry Christmas Sweatshirt/Jumper

I got this from my local vintage shop http://secondhandroseworcester.co.uk/

It was around £16 which I think is pretty reasonable.

It's from 1996 (it says so in the little copyright line)

Very comfy, and you'll never spot somebody in the same one!

They also have an etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/SecondHandRoseWorc

I also wore my Office Fawcett knee boots in burgundy

I've had these a few years and had the reheeled a couple of times

my go to knee length boots!

Very pixie/elf like.

Finally for my bag I used my Agyness Deyn for Dr Martens Hear shaped satchel

in burgindy / cherry red leather.

This was £140 last year, but really worth the investment!

Squeeel, isn't this fab! 

It's from the mens range at British Christmas Jumpers

Such a cute novelty news paper print.

I saw it and just couldn't resist, and it's very comfy too.

I used a sharkskin shade stick by mac on my eyes

and a Revlon just bitten lip stain in flame on my lips

I paired it with my Jigsaw Leather Studded Star Cluster Tote Bag

from 2010/11 I think,

just such a lovely easy to wear bag

and finally on my feet I wore my Clarks Majorca Sun faux fur lined leather biker boots

I've just had these re-heeled to hopefully last a couple more winters.

The Christmas Jumper Challenge Day 4: I want it all, I want it now!

 On to day 4,

I wanted to change up the colours a bit as Christmas jumpers always seem to be red or green!

 I wore a black midi dress from New Look

Black Primark leggings

 

How awesome is this jumper?

It was in the sale a week or two ago from Miss Selfridge.

I love the bright pink colour, and the slogan 'Dear Santa I Want It All'

It's actually written across the front in tiny beads glued on.

I paired it with my Barbie for Pauls Boutique bag

as the colours went so perfectly.

I got this a couple of years ago from Selfridges

Finally I wore my black Office suede faux fur pixie boots

Which are very comfy and warm!

Have you been wearing your Christmas jumpers yet?

Review: Fanpac London Rock T-shirts

Hey guys,

Look I managed to get my beardy boy on the blog!!

We were sent these amazing t-shirts by the lovely people at Fanpac London.

They sell officially licensed rock t-shirts with awesome prints on the front.

I chose their Blondie tee,

all their tees come in relaxed unisex sizes,

I got a M and it fits perfectly (I'm a size 12-14 on top)

The boy is the biggest rock fan I know, hes hugely into prog rock,

so when he saw the Pink Floyd one he knew it was for him! 

He got a L as he's pretty broad shouldered and tall, and it was fine.

Their tees retail at £19.99

and they are really worth the money.

They feel really soft, the prints are fantastic quality,

they keep their shape and wash well

So overall we are both really pleased!

 I Wore:

Blondie T-shirt - Fanpac London

Black Jeans - Marks & Spencers

Studded Leather Jacket - Religion

Luxury Jones style boots - DIYed by me!

What Milly Wore: Bird Print Bag from Bank Fashion

How gorgeous is this bag??

I know right, such a cute floral/bird print!

I was lucky enough to be asked by Bank fashion to review an item from their website.

after having a good mooch I came across this lovely bag by Paul's Boutique

and knew this is what I had to pick!

Paul's Boutique Molly Bag in Bird Print

Now if your a regular on my blog, you might know that I'm already a Paul's Boutique fan

I own a few of their bags, but to me this one is just a little bit special!

I love the whimsical twee print,

it feels a bit more sophisticated than some of their bags, but still fun.

Here is what I wore with my bag:

Black tunic dress with gold stud detail: Topshop (quite old)

Blue Jeggings: George at Asda (super comfy and cheap too!)

Burgundy Leather Boots: Office (£90ish a few years ago)

Butterfly Print Kimono Jacket: Matthew Williamson @ Debenhams (£15 Sale)

Isn't this jacket cute, it's great for this in between weather,

and the butterfly print is really bright and eye-catching.

I got 4 compliments on my bag today (the first time of using it!)

which goes to show how fab it is!

I will definitely get my use out of it,

its a great size to fit a lot in without being huge.

It was delivered very quickly,

and I just think it's really unique and quirky!

Thanks to Bank fashion for asking me to review it :)
