Spotty Dotty | QueenBeady

Co-Ord Set C/O Blue Vanilla | Knee High Boots New Look | Clutch John Lewis | Watch Olivia Burton | Bracelet C/O Links of London

Sometimes before I put on an outfit I look at it & I automatically pull one of those ‘’distressed emoji’’ faces. You know the ones I’m talking about, right? Will it fit me in the right places? Will I look like an ‘’Oompa Loompa’’? But then, then you put it on and all those fears are completely quashed because you have fallen on to an absolute winner. You also know that feeling, right? This is that outfit. I teamed this fabulous co-ord from Blue Vanilla with my brand new boots from the New Look Sale & clutch from the John Lewis sale, respectively. This is clearly going to be one of those staple, go-to outfits in the blustery, winter months we are having! I hope you are all wrapping up warm & keeping safe in these treacherous winds. I’m very much looking forward to the spring time, are you?

When Your Mini-Me has to Step In | QueenBeady

Top Fred Perry | Jeans C/O DressKode

So, Christmas is a time for friends & family oh and wait a minute… overindulging! So much so that I was recently bulging at the seams trying to fit in to an outfit I wanted to share with you. My wonderful cousin stepped in to my shoes & paraded around in my latest arrival from DressKode & obviously rocked it. The high waisted jeans are super flattering & can pull in any waist (except, maybe not mine!) She teamed it with a pink Fred Perry top which is one of her absolute staple pieces. She was quite taken with these jeans and said that they were surprisingly comfy too. Thank goodness for my mini-me stepping in! Have you overindulged over the festive period too?

Framing Memories | QueenBeady

If there is one thing that makes me super happy, it’s reminiscing back to six months ago on our very special wedding day. I’ve rambled from start to finish & then some more about our imperfectly perfect day back in June 2014. I’m terrible, but I still haven’t had my dress boxed & dry cleaned which is at the top of my to-do list this year. I want to cherish that dress with my life. It holds so many magical moments in the delicate lace. I had a vision that I would also dry my flowers, or at least some of the gypsophila (baby’s breath to you & I!) to hang in a beautiful, vintage style frame. I knew exactly what I wanted. So when I browsed The Other Duckling I found the most perfect thing. After watching one of Zoella’s old youtube videos a while back she had something similar that I just knew I had to have. This gorgeous Memory Frame retails at £12.95 & it really is perfect for framing my dried gypsophila. In an amongst the website there were some beautiful vintage pieces that were perfect for any home finishing touches! I’m creating something of a montage on our living room wall which, when I have my fabulous Thomas Kent Wall Clock & a commissioned Amsterdam piece from Sian Lewis Original City Artwork all framed & amongst other bits and pieces I will be sure to share it with you. I’m all about making our home a home now the wedding is over & I could not be more excited!

Baby, It’s Cold Outside | QueenBeady

Hat F&F at Tesco | Coat F&F at Tesco | Jumper Unknown | Jeans Topshop | Shoes New Look | Bag Zara

I know for a fact when you read that title you most certainly did sing it & do not try and deny it one little bit. With Christmas been & gone at the speed of light we woke up on Boxing Day with a twinkle of snow (well, the rest of England did bar West & North Yorkshire!) so inevitably it was time to wrap up warm for the many colder days we have been promised by the ever delightful weathermen!

I have lusted over my bobble hat & pale blue duster coat for many months but just never found myself buying either for one reason another but after heading to a local Tesco’s with my Mama we found ourselves scouring the Sale Rails before Christmas had already been. I noticed that the F&F coat was half price & we managed to pick it up at a bargain price of £25. Mama of course, took this home and wrapped it up for Santa to bring to me on Christmas morning.

As the Winter months have set in, my body temperature has certainly taken a dip so I have found myself topping up on those big fluffy jumpers, you know, the ones that make you look like a Yeti/Polar Bear/Grizzly Bear! No-one can deny though that they are super cosy & somehow manage to look good. They are perfect for teaming with any pair of jeans, chinos, skirts and more. It’s all about layering.

Did you manage to pick up any treats in this years sales? I have been very naughty & purchased a few bits here and there, I can’t wait to share them with you.

Suited & Booted | QueenBeady

Jacket Zara | Top Topshop | Jeans Topshop | Shoes New Look

No, I’m not really suited & booted as such. But, I find that adding a simple structured jacket to an outfit can seriously set you apart in the style stakes. I probably sound very ”conservative” (whom, I would like to add I have no loyalties to!) when I say this, yes you can give a woman a pair of shoes & she will conquer the world as someone quite famous said, however, if you give a woman a structured jacket she will dominate.

It was love at first sight when this Zara jacket arrived on my doorstep with all it’s tags on & packaged up, barely touched & not even sniffed at. It was another one of my fabulous bargains that I had swiped on eBay for a menial sum of money for such a good quality piece of clothing. I seem to be getting very good at that!

I don’t always want to look too dressy but I want to be seen to making an effort, it’s just the way I’m engineered. So, I paired it with my Topshop Peter Pan collared short sleeve cotton shirt & a pair of Topshop Leigh Jeans (very forgiving!). There is something about an outfit like this that is so multifunctional for a number of events, from a day trip shopping with friends or even a meeting with work. I like outfits that can serve a multitude of purposes & this does just that.

Have you got a go-to outfit that never fails you?
