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)

What Milly Wore: Fancy Florals

Hello one and all :)

I've managed to make a small photography set up in my room

So I can take outfit pictures before work!

Yes these photos were taken at 6:30am

This is probably the most organised I have been ever!

With my new job and all, I've been dressing a bit smarter

and I love it!

Earlier this week I wore this outfit which consists of:

Floral / Daffodil white yellow and green dress: Tu (sainsburys)

In the sale, plus and extra 25% off everything

so it ended up being under a tenner!

I bought LOADS of clothes from Asda and Sainsburys

so expect to see more on the blog!

Khaki Catwalk Suede Tote Bag: Jaeger London RRP £499

I love this bag so so so much.

It feels really expensive and is a great size.

and it was the biggest bargain ever!

It was reduced to £60 on BrandAlley ( my fave designer outlet)

and I had a £50 voucher (from a tesco points exchange thing)

So all I paid was £15.95 including postage!!!

It came with the original Jaeger price label on it as well,

my mum nearly had a heart attack!

Here's a slightly better picture of the bag -

Mickey Mouse Padlock Necklace: Disney Couture

Plain Black Cardi: New Look

Plain Black leggings: Primarni

Black long top: H&M 

(worn underneath, so I could wear the tu dress rolled up as a top)

Lightwieght Green Parks: ASOS (flash sale £15 ish)

Leopard / Dalmation Pony Skin Boots: Kimchi Blue via Urban Outfitters

Still my favourite booties,

I get nice comments every time I wear them

and they're really really comfy.

I didn't manage to take any more work outfit pictures this week

but I'll deffo be doing one or two next week!

What do you guys wear to work?

Do you get to wear what you like within reason?

Leave any comments below,

I love reading them :)

What Milly Wore: Aztec Duffle Coat

Hey-lo there one and all,

Here is what I wore a couple of days ago :)

Aztec Navajo Print Blanket Duffle Coat - £60 Urban Outfitters (sale was £120)

eeeeeepp I love this coat,

I blogged about it a couple of months ago,

so when I saw it half price just after Christmas, I asked for it as my main present!

I really like the print, and the fur hood.

The only thing I would change is that it has no lining which annoys me slightly

but it doesn't stop my love for it!

Stripey Skull Vest - Crafted @ Republic

I've had this vest for a good year or so, and not worn it,

so in my attempt to vary my wardrobe and use everything I own  I added it to my outfit

Black Lace trim vest top - Good Old M&S

I layered this vest underneath for warmth

and for modesty ;)

Brown Speckled / Fleck longline cardigan - Next

I'm loving all the speckled and flecked styles that are about at the moment

I'm sure I wore stuff with multi coloured flecks in as a kid, 

and I think it brings out that feeling of nostalgia in me!

High Waisted skinny jeans - New Look

These are my go too jeans at the moment,

really appreciating anything high waisted.

Maddox Tan Leather Tapestry Satchel Bag - Fossil via TKMaxx £69.99 instead of £200

This bag is gorgeous,

I'd been after a good quality carpet / tapestry bag for a while

I came across this one in tkmaxx and couldn't resist.

Fossil are a really good brand,

and I love the pattern and styling of this bag. 

Tan Leather lace-up boots - Pikolinos RRP £110

I got these boots last week to wear to work

and they are so so comfy, very good quality leather

and I like the slightly Victorian feel they have.

Wearing these boots and the bag together I felt a bit like Mary Poppins

that's all for today,

hope you're all having a lovely week so far

What Milly Wore: Skeleton You Are My Friend

Hello there all of you :)

I've been at work a lot this week, so I thought I'd post an outfit I wore a few days ago!

Burgundy chunky knit boyfriend cardigan - New Look (a good few months ago) £18 ish

This cardy is super warm and comfy,

and I really like the shawl style collar, it feels a little like a smoking jacket!

Black skull oversized t-shirt - Topshop 2 years ago £20 ish

This must be one of my most worn t-shirts,

I love the fit and length, and anything with skulls on is good with me.

Black turban - gift from a friend

My gbf was getting rid of some clothes 

and this is one of the things I  ended up being given

turbans are great for bad hair days and are so much more chic than a beanie.

Black and white polka dot skinny jeans - ASOS 1-2 years ago (sale) £15 ish

I've worn these on the blog before,

they're just so easy to wear with everything, a definite staple of my wardrobe.

Nude coloured slouchy Padlock bag - Marks & Spencer, 2 years or so ago £35

Such a great bag, not real leather but it doesn't bother me.

you would never guess its from m&s!

Dalmatian / Leopard print heart ankle boots - Deena & Ozzy via Urban Outfitters (sale) £30

I got these just after christmas and I adore them,

 they have that fuzzy pony skin type finish which is really cool.

They are super comfy too, which I wasn't expecting. 

Hope you like it my loves

New Year: Things I Love

Why hello there,

nice to see you again!

Please excuse my lack of bloggingness,

Christmas retail, means not a lot of free time!

So I thought I'd do a little catch up kind of 'Things I Love' post for you :)

I'm loving:

Orange Hair -
Dyed my hair a lovely shade of copper/orange
and I love it, just wish it was as gorgeous and thick as this girls!

Neutral Eye-Make-Up -
Working a lot means I am really appreciating a 15 minute make-up routine,
including a neutral eye, not as nice as this one though!

Magnetic & Glitter Nail Varnish -
I got loads of magnetic nail varnish for Christmas and I'm loving experimenting with it,
also cant get enough of my Deborah Lippmann glitter polishes!

Pyjamas -
Snuggly Pyjamas ftw :) Got some gorgeous M&S ones.

Christmas Socks -
Whether it's just around the house or peeking over the top of my boots
I'm living in patterned Christmas socks right now.

Biker Boots -
I'm Milly and I'm addicted to biker boots
real leather of course and the more studs  the better

Clashing Prints -
there are so many different kinds of prints I love right now,
galaxy,  fairisle, aztec, navajo, floral, digital, graphic etc
and there is nothing I love more than wearing them all at once!

Rucksacks/Backpacks -
I got the ahmahzing Lazy Oaf Space rucksack for Christmas
and it seems to just go with everything!
I also appreciate that it doesn't fall off your shoulders all the time.

Diet Coke -
I love it, nuff said!

Clinique Chubby Sticks -
Part of my afore mentioned quick make-up look are my clinique chubby sticks,
I have 4 and they add a great pop of hydrating colour

Vintage Scarves -
Whether its tied to my bag, worn as a belt or just around my neck
I love to add a vintage scarf to my outfit, especially chain print ones.

Aztec Duffle Coat -
EEEPP I got this urban outfitters printed blanket duffle coat for Christmas
and I am never taking it off EVER

Snoods -
Chunky knitted snoods wrapped round tonnes of times
make me happy.

Skull Necklaces -
I was also lucky enough to get 2 different skull necklaces for Christmas
and I love wearing them with otherwise demure outfits ;)

Sleeping ZzZzZz -
I love to snooze, nap sleep etc
especially in the middle of the day with a cat by my side!

That is all

Fashion Fix: Awesome Aztec & Nice Navajo

 I was a huge fan of the Aztec & Navajo prints

that were around last A/W, 

but I love the ones this year even more

Here is my guide to the best items I've found:

Aztec Pattern Coat £100 ASOS

Not cheap, but I love the style of it, and it would be lovely and warm

maybe wait for a money off code?

Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Military Cardigan Coat 

£236 reduced from £592 ASOS

OK so this is a serious investment piece

But if you can afford it go for it, it will last you a lifetime

Aztec Borg Hooded Parker £75 Topshop

This is very similar to a leopard print one I bought from topshop last year,

the fleecey lining in the hood is to die for!

I like that the pattern in a little more subdued on this one.

Blue Print Faux Fur Aztec Coat £85 River Island

This coat is a bit more unique than the others which I really like,

The colour combination and the fur around the hood make it a bit different

Navajo Blanket Duffle Coat £125 Urban Outfitters

This is probably my favourite out of the bunch,

The prefect combination of navajo, duffle, parka and blanket!

Red & Grey Aztec Print Cape £40 River Island

I bought two aztec capes from Topshop last year

and they are amazing, It's like walking round in a blanket,

very comfy, fashion forward and flattering

especially with a belt!

Woven Aztec Satchel £45 Urban Outfitters

This is a great way to add colour to a plain outfit

I just wish the handles were real leather

Backpack with Aztec Print £35 ASOS

I actually found this in the men's section!

don't be afraid stray from women's items when looking for accessories

nobody would ever know!

Printed Leggings £20 Topshop

As you may know I'm not adverse to some funky leggings in my life

And these printed ones from Topshop are great to wear with a baggy t-shirt

and some high-tops, channelling the 80's vibe :)

Grey Aztec Print Leggings £22 River Island

If you fancy something a bit more subtle

this pair in neutral tones are great!

Black Aztec Print Tapered Leg Trousers £22 River Island

I love these,

they could be really smartened up for a night out with a black vest top,

a pair of heels and a clutch bag!

BDG Printed Rib Knit Leggings £24 Urban Outfitters

These look fab,

great as pyjama bottoms or just lounging round the house

these long john style leggings look so comfy

Thats everything folks,

Please let me know what you think of this kind of post,

as I'm forever finding great items to buy, and cant afford

so I might as well share them with you guys right? :)

Lust After / New Arrival: Winter Drop!

OK so I totally skipped day 7 oh well!

On Sunday I tidied my entire room, which is practically unheard of

and the boyf put all my pictures up on my wall for me and I totally love it!

Heres a quick looksie at what I've been buying,

and what I've been trying not to buy this week!

Bought:

Studded Boots

£50 AllSaints

Reduced fron £220!!

I luff them.... Lots

In the end I ordered this Aztec Cape / Blanket from Topshop!

It came online and a day after it sold out, it was only after it sold out I realised how much I wanted it

so when it came back into stock I ordered it straight away!

£36

I also discovered it had been put on line in this colour too

and I couldn't decide..

So I ordered both colours and may be sending one back once they arrive

£36 Topshop

And I thought while I was there I might as well spend enough to get free delivery right??

So I added this t-shirt

as it fulfils my loves of grey marl, oversized tees, and galaxy prints!

£22 Topshop

I also ordered these boots

Oh I love a bit of embellishment on an ankle boot!

£38 Topshop

which is pretty good for a leather boot, 

I hope they fit me!

Aztec Snood

just yummy right??

Loving aztec, intarsia, navajo patterned knits or whatever you want to call it

and I thought this would be a nice way of adding a splash 

to an otherwise plain coat or outfit!

£20 ASOS

(ASOS have 15% off own branded items atm with code AWSTYLE15)

I am trying not to buy:

Well you might notice that these are similar to the other Topshop boots I've ordered

I actually saw these first,

but plumped for the spangley ones in the end as always!

£35 Topshop

This item is such a bargain

I'm really trying to resist, but wow

I want it... a lot!

Butterfly Bag by my favourite bag designers Angel Jackson

£149.99 reduced from £475 !!!!!!

at Urban Outfitters

I want these quite a bit

we sell them at my work so I can get a discount on them

 and also I could wear them to work for the whole winter

how comfy and lovely

might have to get them!

£135 Fitflop Mukluk in Amethyst

I'm totally excited about winter clothes

a lot

all I need now is a faux fur hat with ears

and I'm not joking, I'm on the look out!
