eBay Luck!

For a while, I've been a very unsuccessful eBay-er, often missing items that I'm watching and constantly getting outbid. But I recently snatched this jacket for under £10! Now that is what I call a success. I'm starting to feel like eBay loves me again.

Jacket - Trader, eBay

Floral Top - Topshop

Leather shorts - H&M

Jelly Shoes - Juju Jellies, Topshop

My blog is seriously lacking in look posts for a number of reasons; the variety in my wardrobe isn't very wide, I don't have a good quality camera, I have to take them myself using a self timer app and the whole process is just very time consuming! I hope to start doing more look posts as they seem to be the most popular, and my lookbook account was becoming rather dormant. It's also a good way to keep tabs on what I wear so I don't end up repeating my outfits too often.

Leave a comment below, I'd love to hear from you!! :)

My first look post!

The sun has finally decided to rear it's beautiful head and for the first time this year, I left my house without my big bobbly coat! Although the weather reached a pleasant 16 degrees today (yes, that's considered warm here in Britain), I decided to stick to mostly a black outfit.

This is my first look post, so I have no idea how to pose in front of a (rubbish iPhone) camera. I did my best.

My mesh crop top can be found at Topshop. I tried this on about a month ago and really liked it but decided not to buy it. But when I found it in the sale just a couple of days ago for £12 (down from £26) I couldn't pass up the opportunity. My bouclé shorts were originally from H&M although I snapped them up for 99p (£3.99 including shipping) on eBay. My shoes were also off eBay, originally from Topshop, I got these bad boys for £25. I love eBay. And the leather jacket from Peacocks I have had for years!

Black is my comfort zone, and although it usually looks boring, I like to think that my mix of textures and patterns spiced up the look a little bit. And even though black isn't typically associated with spring, I thought that my (too short) shorts and skin baring mesh top would make up for the lack of summer in my outfit today. And let's be realistic, it's not like the sun was going to reach any blazing temperatures today. You know the kind, when that black jacket suddenly turns into a back burning torture device.

How did you enjoy the gorgeous weather today?
