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!

I don't think there has been a day in the last month that I haven't visited ASOS.com.
I honestly think I may have an addiction.

The variety it has, the constant new stock.... that god damn sale! I love this website and with it's next day delivery on every order with my ASOS Premier sometimes it's hard not to go ahead and order stuff! I am constantly adding things to my 'saved items' and I'm sure you guys are the same, so I thought I would share today a few things I have added recently..... hurry up payday!!!

Wishlist : Pastels

With Spring nearly in sight I've been on the look out for all the new stock stores are getting in both in store and online.
Something which I knew was going to be a hot trend for SS14 and I have always loved is pastel colours.
Pinks, blues, greens, yellows - pastels always look so feminine, girly and classy and I love what the high street is coming up with for this year.
With that in mind I thought I would go ahead and do another wishlist post - this time... the top pastels items I have spotted and have my beady little eyes on.
