Friday fancies - wedding guest chic!

With the wedding season in full force at the moment, it's always handy to keep an eye on the dresses that are currently hitting the high street. 

You never know when that invitation will pop through your letter box, and you need to rush out to buy the perfect wedding guest outfit...

I only have two weddings this year, but luckily I'm a bridesmaid for both!

However, if I was attending these weddings as a guest, this is definitely something I would go for...

Friday Fancies: weekend outfit

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for this weekend.  My best friend is getting married tomorrow in the beautiful gower (please pray for sunshine / dry weather / no rain)...

However, before I can start prancing around in my beautiful bridesmaid dress....it's time to share my Friday Fancies outfit, with the theme relating to weekend wear.

This would be my ideal outfit for running errands - be that either walking Lena or wandering around the shops...

You can't go wrong with a baggy striped top, skinny jeans and a leather jacket thrown on top!  All these items are from  H&M - my favourite shop for casual day wear.

What are you up to this weekend?

Friday Fancies: Neon

I have a love / hate relationship with neon colours. 

Is it mostly because I would never be cool enough to pull off a bright neon orange dress? 

It probably is!

But Spring and Summer seasons are the perfect time to wear strong colours with pride, especially if you're heading off to a festival.

So for this week's Friday Fancies I put aside my concerns about pulling off a bright shade, and made a compromise. 

Neon accessories!

Now the above bag is something I would love to own.

So the lesson here is, if you're scared to wear a certain trend / colour then start small, and stick with accessories!

Friday Fancies: Spring shoes

Now that the weather is slowly getting warmer, it's time to dust away your pumps and sandals and pack away the chunky winter boots. 

Well...actually hold that thought... 

Maybe not pack away as such, because let's be honest...we're guaranteed to have a rainy day or two!

So, in the days where it will be gloriously sunny, here are the Spring shoes that I've got my eye on...

The only thing left now is to book a pedicure appointment!

Friday fancies - project polka dot

It's time to go polka dot crazy over at Long Distance Loving's blog this Friday!

Now I was going to choose a slightly more subtle polka print, but then I saw this adorable Zara blouse below could not resist creating an outfit based around it. 

Girls, it's time to wear your polka dot prints loud and proud!

I hope everyone has a nice weekend planned? 

Mine is going to be pretty relaxed, and I'm really looking forward to it.  The next few weekends for me are very busy, so it's nice to have some quiet time, watching films and eating good food with my husband and pup!

Friday Fancies: wishing for Spring

I am sat here, daydreaming of sunnier days, where I can wear a cute little shirt dress and sandals, just like below. 

As I look out the window, this is unfortunately not the case today. 

The wind is blowing, the rain is pouring down, and there is even threat of more snow on the way. 

Good old British weather, always keeping us on our toes!

This is typically not the colours I usually go for, but as this week's Friday Fancies theme is Hello Spring, then I wanted to create an outfit that would make me smile and skip around fields surrounded by beautiful flowers. 

A girl can dream!

Friday Fancies...red and pink

I am so glad that it's Friday!

I'm also loving this week's fashion theme over on Long Distance Loving's blog.  Red and pink worn together is such a feminine combination, and wearing these colours together can certainly brighten up a gloomy day.

This is the type of casual outfit that I love to wear on a sunny day during Spring.

Talking of Spring, it feels like it's finally on the way after a gloomy winter, as the sun is shining brightly here in Cardiff today.  About time I say, about time...

I've also got a fun weekend planned of visiting family and friends, eating lots of good homecooked food and taking Lena for country walks. 

What are your weekend plans?

Friday Fancies - skiing with style

I've only ever been on a skiing holiday once, and it was just the best time ever! 

I was 15 years old, and it was a school trip to Austria (and the first holiday away with my friends...so much fun). 

I would love to go again one day, but in the meantime I will carry on dreaming of my future holiday filled with hot chocolates, log cabins, fluffy socks and bobble hats. 

Oh, and lots and lots of skiing...of course.

Friday fancies...

Whenever I'm stuck for ideas on what to wear, I always reach for these two colour combinations - black and white.

This whole outfit comes from Warehouse, a fantastic high street shop that always follows trends in a classy way.  The only downfall is they can be a little on the pricey side for some items, but for staple items in your wardrobe...this is my go to shop.

Head over to Av's blog Long Distance Loving for more black and white inspired outfit ideas!

Any nice plans this weekend?  We have my hubby's dad coming to stay with us, so I'll be busy cleaning and entertaining!  Also...we're going to attempt to take Lena out for her first walk...wish us luck!  Does anyone have any tips for taking puppies out for the first time?
