The 5 Series- The 5 Accessories

Accessorising to me is like putting a cherry on the top of a cake. It finishes off an outfit. It is the final piece. So today I will be sharing with you my top 5 accessories... enjoy! 

Okay, so number one is the most obvious probably. 

Jewellery:

These two pieces are from uk.accessorize.com/ and they have been my go to items recently. I am loving the new gold range at the moment in store and online. The ring has a pop of colour in the middle and it is a statement once on as it is rather big which I am very fond of. The necklace is so pretty and elegant, I love the design of it with the cut outs and it just sits at a perfect length on my chest. 

Watch:

I do not know about you but I can not leave my house without wearing a watch. Just the fact of not knowing the time makes me anxious. This one from unlisted has been my favourite for a few months now and it is carrying on to be. It's something about the rose gold that makes me love it 10 times more. The watch has a big face which is good and the numbers 12, 4 and 8 are decorated in diamantes which gives it an extra sparkle. 

Bag:

A bag is a definite must for me and having a rucksack is so much more convenient. This is from warehouse and I picked it up in the sale last year. I love the colour of it (light beige) as it goes with practically any outfit. The style is almost like a satchel which I feel is quite unique and I like that about it a lot. It has a handle at the top if I want to carry it or straps for putting it on your back. 

Scarf:

Not only can scarves keep you warm, they also are a fashion piece. Mine was from monsoon and I have had it for about 2-3 years however I still love and wear it a lot of the time. The pattern on it is very vintage in my opinion and the colour is grey/pink/silver (great describing there, haha). 

I wear it all year round... spring, summer, autumn, winter. It is great!  

Hat:

Now I got this hat for Christmas and I already know that I will be wearing this a load! It is black with a black ribbon around the top bit. It is plain and simple which I love and cannot wait to pair it with so many different/boring outfits. Also to be honest it will be good to hide my hair if I am having a bad hair day!

And that's my lot!

Let's Get Healthy This 2015!

Lets all admit it, we have put on a bit of weight over the festive period. All them yummy chocolates and delicious puddings we could not resist... But now it is time for change. Does anyone want to join me? I am doing a no chocolate January to start off. At first it maybe difficult however once you have past the 3 day mark you can do it! I have been doing it for a week already and I can feel a change in me. I am just feeling so much more active and healthy. And that's just from one week!

So imagine after 1 month, you will not only feel healthier, you will be able to see a visible difference in you skin and body shape. Along with that I have started to go out on runs, they are nothing to long or intense however it is something to do and it gets me out of the house.

I don't think I have ever told you but I am a keen road biker and this year it is going to be a little part of my life which has not been there before. I have already planned and decided which road races I would like to take part in and one of which will be my longest ride yet, so me and my dad are going to be doing a lot of training leading up to it. This therefore means that it will be a great opportunity for me to share the sport with you all and what cycling allows me to do and why I enjoy it because it is my sport and what I love. Be sure to see a blog post up about it soon... 

Having an activity you love and can do on a regular basis is great and helps you to stay fit. So try some new ones out and find one for you. 

Food is the biggest part of getting and staying healthy and I am hoping to be sharing with you some new recipes and ideas that I discover or create on here, so look out for those.

It is all about the decisions you make. Whether that is the right one or wrong one is up to you. 

It is a new year, it could be a new you. 

The 5 Series. The 5 Shoes.

I am going to start a series called THE 5 series. Every Sunday for a few weeks I will be posting up with my 5 picks of that certain category. Today's is SHOES. 

Here are my 5 top picks of shoes...

In a girls collection you have to have at least one pair of party shoes... 

THE HEELS

I love these heels from primark, they look really good with any outfit, whether that is jeans or a dress, and can change it from drab to fab. They look and feel like suede however I'm not sure if they actually are. The heels have a peep toe which I like as they do not squish my toes and it's strap around the ankle helps to support me while walking. 

THE CONVERSE

These are every day shoes which you cannot go wrong with. I picked mine up from schuh but you can get them in a lot of stores or online. They are comfy and trendy which is the best part. Having them in the classic colour of white therefore means they go with a lot of different outfits. Although they do get dirty easily I have put mine in the washing machine before and they come out perfect and looking brand new! 

 THE BLACK BOOTS

These are the most worn pair of shoes from my collection. I got mine from debenhams and they are real leather. These have lasted me 2 years so far and they are still showing no sign of ageing. The buckle allows me to tighten or loosen the shoe around my ankle and also I think it adds detail to the boot. I wore these most of winter with jeans and jumpers, whether that was into town or taking the dog for a walk. 

THE QUIRKY ONES

I got these quite recently from tkmaxx and the brand is dolcis. I have not had anything like these before. They are quite chunky and make a statement without being to obvious as they are just a plain black leather. I can see myself wearing these all year round as I believe they will go with shorts and skirts in the summer and on the other hand jeans and trousers in winter.  

THE AZTEC PLIMSOLLS

These I picked up from primark and they are the most comfortable pair of shoes ever! They are just a simple plimsoll shoe with a red and purple aztec print and are easy to just slip on. What I love the most about these and why they are in my top 5 picks is because when I am wearing a boring outfit with no or very little colour I will wear these and it just spices up the outfit. Instead of having a bright and bold top, why not change it to shoes?




That's all.
