Fashion : Off Duty Denim with George @ ASDA

A few years ago jeans were something which never even entered my mind when getting dressed. 
I wasn't confident with my legs and thought denim always made me look huge - fast forward to today and I don't know what I'd do without my few pairs that I own and love.

Recently I was sent a challenge by George @ ASDA to show off how I transform denim from a casual daytime look to something a little more glam. 
Jeans are perfect for everyday wear yes, but they can also look great for a nice dinner date, a night out with the girls or even a blogging event!

The jeans I chose to try were the Fashion Box High Waisted Jeans in Navy. The reviews looked great,I always prefer a stretchy lightweight material rather than a thick stiff denim so these seemed like a great choice for me, plus I'm a huge fan of high waists - they hide a multitude of sins and are great for dressing up and down.
At only £16 I'm SO impressed with them - I have honestly been wearing them non-stop - cinema trips, dinner with friends, Christmas day, my recent trip to London - they are amazing and so flattering.

Here's an example of an easy daytime outfit. I love oversized knitwear at this time of year (especially after eating all that Christmas food) - so cosy and snug! Plus the rips in the jeans and trainers help to dress down the whole look. (Can we just have a LOL at my facial expression here.... what a miserable cow!)

Now how I've dressed them up!
 I'm obsessed with my black over the knee boots from Boohoo right now and have been wearing them so much over the last month! I love pairing these together as it hides the rips in the jeans, immediately making them a bit more formal! 
I choose to tuck in the plain cami to show off the high waist and make it all look a bit more 'going out'. The finishing touch is the awesome jacket *heart eyes*. I had been wanting a short fur jacket for months and this is just gorgeous, so soft and fits like a glove.

I cannot recommend these jeans enough I've already had one friend saying she's bought some and fallen in love - for £16 I need them in every colour possible, well done ASDA!

Wishlist : Date Outfits

Hello girlies - today I am back with another wishlist.... or 2! I always get such great feedback from wishlist posts and I find them so fun to do (although they do make me want to spend too much money that I don't actually have... oppsie!)

I have 2 wishlists today the first being a fun and flirty Day Date outfit and the second being a gorgeous, glam Date Night outfit.
We all love a good date - weather it's a first date, a date with your partner you've been with for years or even just a fun day/evening with a good friend - it's always a good excuse to get dressed up, feel great about yourself and look your best!

First up - The Day Date. This could be anything from lunch to a seaside walk to a round of mini golf - this outfit is such a cute, simple look!
Pink Jeans | Cream Lace Shirt | Ballet Sandals | Stud Earrings | George Quick Dry Nail Polish | Grey Satchel With Scallop Edge

I am loving pink at the moment. Pastels, brights, neons - I think they are so cute and you don't need alot of it to make an outfit.
 I choose these jeans as the statement piece of this day date outfit because 1. the colour is fab and 2. because jeans are fab for a nice afternoon out. Easy to wear and they look great!
 I love love love the little lace shirt so much it is totally on trend still and it is just a fraction of the price you would pay in other high street stores!
 The satchel and shoes are so sweet for the Spring and Summer months, the bag is the perfect size for a day out!
I thought the nail polish matched the jeans perfectly and it is great way link the pink into the outfit a little more. (on both fingers and toes!)

And now it's time for the look I'm loving for a Date Night. Drinks at a bar, dinner in a pub or even a trip to the cinema - this is such an easy and sophisticated look to pull off!
First up I am loving these black leather look leggings - I'm not normally one for leggings with a shorter top but because of the material I think these can work! The top is a cute monochrome pattern - I think black and white is great for nights out (especially on a date) it's hard to go wrong with it. 
I had to add a bit of colour (obviously) and that is where the shoes came in. I am obsessed with pointed heels at the moment - 10 years ago when I first started high school they were all the rage and now they are back and bigger then ever! These are a subtle pop of pink which match the gorgeous lipstick ('small talk') I've added! Earrings for a bit of bling and a little bag for all the essentials - done.

Everything chosen is from the fab George at Asda - I love how on trend George always are and the fact it is so affordable makes it a thousand times better! These outfits could easily be mixed up aswell - swap the tops and there's another 2 fab looks!

What do you girls think?! These work great for dates or better still for a girly lunch or a night out with your besties aswell!
