ASOS Ridley Jeans – What Kate Did Next

ASOS Girl|OOTD

I am a walking advert for ASOS in this outfit and I didn’t even mean to be! The ASOS sale is literally one of my favourite parts of the year because the bargains are insane. I wore this outfit for dinner and cinema with A and love how great it is for summer evenings.

I live in Ridley Skinny Jeans so when some distressed ones popped up in the sale I just couldn’t say no. I’m not sure I have the best knees for tight ripped jeans – they’ve been compared to two doughnuts but I love how they add a bit of grunge to the outfit without looking trashy.

The kimono shirt was a pretty big step outside the box for me. It’s super over sized and I was a little worried it would drown my quite tiny body especially with the large floral print, but I love how floaty and boho it feels which adds contrast to the ripped jeans.

I’ve had the Roxy Chelsea Boots since Christmas and found I haven’t worn them to much so decided to wipe the dust off them and take them for a ride.

Do you ever end up wearing just one brand?

Seared Tuna and Stripes

July 14, 2015Lifestyle, Style2 Comments

A bit of a random post today, but sometimes as a blogger you start an OOTD but only like one photograph or you turn up at a resturant not wanting to blog about it and then suddenly you have to tell everyone about it but didn’t bring your camera and only have Instagram as proof you went; well both of these things happened in the same day so I am popping these together to bring you and OOTD and restaurant review in one.

Chilli Salt Squid followed by Seared Seasame Tuna.

Rock and Rose is a restaurant in Richmond right next to another favourite of mine Cafe Mamma. The menu is an eclectic mix of Asian fusion and good old fashioned grill food and it tastes amazing. I broke my gluten free rule and went for the Chilli Salt Squid and I regret nothing; so many flavours in one but working perfectly together before moving onto a healthier choice the Seared Tuna on a bed of wok fried vegetables and Asian slaw. The tuna was cooked to perfection; the perfect summer dish. All washed down with a few G+T’s.

Crop – Topshop|Jeans – ASOS|Boots – H&M (similar).

Not the most exciting outfit but I love the crop top; because I just can’t stop my addiction with stripes or crop tops. I also can’t seem to stop wearing ASOS Ridley Jeans or these old H&M boots, i’m a creature of habit what can I say.

So there you go an OOTD and a restaurant review all in one!

Business Casual|OOTD

June 1, 2015Style1 Comment

Occasionally I have to go to production meetings and although I don’t have to dress in a super smart suit there is a certain business casual approach that I like to take. Black jeans are a great smart casual version of suit trousers and I can’t live without my ASOS Ridley Jeans which fit perfectly and aren’t overly tight. I love teaming these with my leg lengthening H&M Chelsea Boots.

Smart t-shirts are pretty hard to find but this beauty from Primark is great, it’s super comfy and is loose without making you look like you 3 dress sizes bigger than you already are, and the back is sheer giving it a little extra something. I love this bag from Accessorize its perfect for chucking my laptop, scripts and general crap in. My glasses are Specsavers, I finally got new glasses a few months ago and love these chunky black frames.
