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

Sarenza UK Ambassador Competition :)

*puts up hand*

My name is Milly, and I'm a shoe addict!

I've amassed well over 100 pairs over the last few years (working in retail clearly does not help)

and have regular clear outs of old worn styles to the charity shop.

I entered a Sarenza competition last year and made it to the final 15

So when I saw that Sarenza UK were looking for a new ambassador I jumped at the chance to enter.

You may be thinking 'she's got loads of shoes already'

which is probably true, (but we all know a girl can never have too many pairs)

and I'm pretty sure that qualifies me to be a brand ambassador,

I know what I like and what I'm looking for, good quality, real leather, uniquely designed & good service!

All of which you can find at Sarenza!

Anyway onto my chosen featured shoe, I present to you the
Cinadine boot by Feud @ Sarenza:

This is not just any boot this is a burgundy leather, lace up ankle boot.

They have not used any burgundy leather, they've used perfectly aged, burnished, textured leather.

*stops pretending I'm on an M&S advert*

But seriously, I love the colour, the brogue detailing, copper eyelets, worn in look

and they're practical as well as stylish *swoon*

I'd be like a small Victorian child in them,

they have that 'Oliver' styling too them,

It'll be hard to not go round saying

'ello guvna, fancy a shoe shine?!

(do they remind you of that too or is it just in my head)

At £136 they are a bit of an investment buy,

but they would be really easy to wear, with skinny jeans and a studded leather jacket 

with an oversized t-shirt underneath!

What Milly Wore: Aztec Swan

Hi Folks,

So I've not really made a new year resolution persay,

but I am trying to get myself organised, by sorting through my room

and my wardrobes to get rid of what I don't wear

But also I am trying to make use of pieces that I love 

but don't get use out of for some reason.

I'd like to vary my outfits more,

care less what others think of my style,

and experiment a bit!

Here is what I wore Yesterday:

Khaki Quilted Jacket: River Island (last year) £30 ish

I've had so much use out of this jacket but it is yet to be featured on the blog

as I usually wear it just with t-shirt and jeans.

It's kind of barbour esque which I love

Nude / Pale Pink Padlock Bag: M&S (last year) £39 ish

I'm not really an M&S kind of person

but I saw this bag in a magazine and just had to buy it!

and I haven't regretted it,

Its really unique spacious and well made, just wish it was leather!

Black Pearl Cardigan: New Look (sale last year) £9 ish

I never wear this cardigan,

purely because it annoys me that I cant do it up!

I do love the pearl detailings and buttons though.

Swan Digital Print Cropped Top: H&M £19.99

This is a fairly recent purchase that I've just not got round to wearing

I just think the swan is very mysterious looking, 

and I love anything with a photographic or digital print

Also seen on my Clothes Twin Hannah :)

Aztec Bodycon Midi Skirt: River Island £20 this season

I bought this skirt on Tuesday,

I'd had my eye on it for a while, and decided at £20 it was worth it!

I really like the print, that it's high waisted and the midi length

It's amazing!

Black Leggings: £4 Primark

As always, actually need to buy a few more pairs!

I love the clashing prints,

They shouldnt go together but they somehow do!

Black Leather & Tweed Fabric Buckle Boots 'Smoke': Carvela Kurt Geiger

Original Price £180 Sale Price £89 Price after discount code & voucher £49 :)

I love these boots, couldnt believe I got them for such a good price!

I featured them on my blog a couple of months ago 

but didnt think I would be able to afford them

They are really comfy and fur/fuzzy lined.

Think that's everything guys,

Do you like to clash prints?

Have you had any surprise sale bargains?

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!
