Wearing black for the first time in years, I felt the need to document it.

Spring has Sprung
Texture and Colour Combo
The cold snap appears to be lifting slightly so I was able to brave the outside world without a jumper.

Turban – Stradivarius|Top – Topshop|Treggings – Stradivarius|Shoes – New Look|Jewellery – New Look (similar)|Watch – Mondaine.
This outfit I feel is a little out of my normal comfort zone but I absolutely love it! Its so full of textures including velvet, suede and ribbed cotton.
This has a very boho feel to it with the turban and layered necklaces and I feel like I will be wearing a lot more of this  style during the autumn months as I love layering in the colder months. The shoes are an absolute dream, I love the lace up ballet pumps that have been floating about in the summer months but these are the perfect compromise for when I don’t want my feet getting cold.
The treggings from Stradivarius are so comfortable and can be worn as a smart or casual option so perfect for work but also a party. I love the two tone of these with the suede on the front and a normal black jersey on the back.

Prosecco and Giggles|23rd Birthday Dinner
This week I turned 23 and to celebrate among other things was dinner with my four closest girl friends.
Top – Miss Selfridge|Jeans – New Look (similar)|Shoes – Kurt Geiger|Necklace – Accessorize (similar).
Without getting mushy these girls have stuck by me through thick and thin and I would be lost without them.
We started off with a few glasses of good old bucks fizz before heading to one of my all time restaurants ‘Brocca‘ in St Margarets.
I went for the Coconut and Lemon Crusted Prawns followed by Braised Beef Rib with Parsnips Crisps and Wasabi Mash. Both were amazing but we skipped dessert and headed home for a spot of birthday cake.
I had such a lovely evening with my girls and they made getting a year older slightly easier!

Moon Child|OOTD
Hat – Topshop (similar)|Crop top – Topshop|Skirt – Brandy Melville (similar)|Boots – New Look (similar)|Tattoos – Lottie London|Rings – Accessorize.
OMG Kate’s wearing an all black outfit surprise surprise!
I love this outfit its so full of textures and the lighter boots really lift what could be a dull outfit.
I am not normally a skirt wearing person but this Brandy Melville one is the perfect black skater skirt for all occasions and it’s not crazy short either. The crop top is a little shorter than what I normally wear but doesn’t look trashy paired with the skirt because of the higher neck.
I wore this outfit for a film screening and thought it was a perfect smart casual get up.

The Every Occasion Outfit|OOTD
Crop Top – Topshop|Shorts – H&M|Boots – New Look (similar)|Bag – Accessorize|Tattoos – Lottie London.
Why do I always look so moody in OOTD posts. I promise i’m a happy person!
Anyway, I love this outfit; it’s again very simple but it’s the perfect outfit for just about any occasion. I can see myself wearing this for a lunch date, shopping with the girls, a night out at a cocktail bar or just lounging about at home – minus the boots of course.
The shorts from New Look are a tiny little bit short however I find that wearing some cycling shorts underneath helps any unfortunate flashes. Yes I am still wearing metallic tattoos and these ones are by Lottie London. You get a ton of designs in both silver, gold and black and they are slightly more delicate than the Primark ones I have previously worn. Really easy to apply and last for a good week.

ASOS Girl|OOTD
Shirt, Jeans and Boots – ASOS.
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
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!
