ASOS Wishlist

With pay day coming up soon I feel like I need to buy new things but let's be honest guys, I don't really need them but I REALLY want them. My most favourite things in this list are the jeans, because you know I love a good pair of jeans, the bag and the River Island jumper dress and longline t-shirt. I know I'll definitely be buying a few pieces when I get paid.

OOTD | Cheap Monday

These photos were taken an absolute age ago and has been hiding in my drafts for about 4 months, oh dear.

Open Back Top - Cheap Monday via ASOS || Technical Stretch Skinny Jeans - Primark || Palladium Black Blanc Hi Tops - New Look
Anyway, I had been lusting after a top like this for months after having seeing something similar on the lovely Kavita. and although it's not as soft as I would have like it I'm still in love with the back!.

These jeans are just fantastic. I stopped buying jeans from Primark a few years ago because I could never find ones that fit. After my work jeans (which you can see here) ripped I decided to wait before buying some more but in the mean time I needed a pair of jeans to wear outside of work, so after buying some not so great New Look ones but I bought these Primark ones that fit almost perfectly. The only downside is that they are quite low at the back.

Selfie | OOTD

This might be the second outfit of 2015 but like my last outfit post these photos were taken ages ago (oops). Anyway I wore this outfit to dinner with one of my work colleagues to this pretty cool restaurant Chicken Shop in Whitechapel. I'd been there once before and I absolutely loved it! Like Nandos you can get quarter, half or whole chicken but instead it's boneless and comes already cut into smaller pieces for you, which personally I think is just perfect.

For anyone interested in paying a visit Chicken Shop has restaurants in Tooting, Kentish Town and Holborn. P.S. the one in Whitechapel has a second restaurant inside called Dirty Burger

Outfit | Noa

Just a quick outfit post on another piece from my Mint Velvet work uniform. I'm definitely a jeans and a t-shirt, blouse or jumper girl, don't get me wrong I love wearing a skirt and a dress but more often than not you'll find me traipsing about in a pair of jeans; especially at work. That all changed (albeit briefly) when this dress came in at work. Let me introduce you to the Noa Dress.

I fell in love with the print and the style as soon as I saw it which luckily for me just happened to be the day it was delivered to our store. I think I bought the dress as uniform sometime in July or August (which is when these pictures were taken, I know a long time ago) but I've only worn the dress to work about two times much to the dismay of my manager.

I really do love the dress but I felt uncomfortable working in it especially when walking up and down stairs all day.
There are also two other tops in the Noa collection, the Noa Print Double Layer Top and the Noa Print Side Ruched Top.
You can read more about the story of the Noa Print in the Mint Velvet Magazine here.
