On Wednesdays we wear PINK!

♥ On Wednesdays we wear pink.

♥ Pretty in pink.
♥ Pink to make the boys wink.
♥ and as my 3 year old goddaughter would say: I love everything Pink!

I decided to go all cute and girly with my blog post today and do a pink addition. I've styled my outfits using every tone of pink I had In my wardrobe, literally. Pink isn't my usual go to colour so I don't have much, I'm not your typical pink loving girly girl.

This Saturday I hate a major busy, but super cute day. I went to take my little goddaughter dancing then we went and watched trolls, she loved it! (me and my bezzie also loved it I'll add)
So anyway I went for this light and comfy combo for my busy Saturday. This shirt has featured in one of my previous blogs and I still absolutely love it. I bough it in the salvation army store in America can you believe it! Vintage pieces are what I live for in fashion, you wont see anyone else wearing this shirt and that's what I love.
I teamed it with of course a roll neck, you know me by now. Just a basic one from Primark,
remember basics are a top wardrobe essential!
Now my trainers tooooooooo cute. I love Nike huaraches simply because they are so comfy, I currently have 3 pairs #trainerfanatic. I can be a bit of boy, but because of the colour they bring that touch of girlyness to my sometimes tom boyish outfits.

Now for the best part BARGAIN ITEM ALERT! I just had to add this into the post because it is the most ridiculous bargain ever. On my lunch break shopping as per and In Topshop I notice these fur scarfs all with stickers saying £1, I thought surely not this cant be right. My friend and I cleared the whole arm of scarves between us and yes just £1 each for every scarf. I deserve a medal!
I hope all my family like fur scarves because that's Christmas presents sorted.

Had soo much fun putting this outfit together and styling it up. The first layer is a roll neck dress again from you guessed it... Primark. I love layering up tshirts, shirts and rollnecks during winter months so I thought why not layer up the bottom half of my outfit. Over the top of the dress I added my pink bodycon mini skirt that I bought from Forever 21 years ago. It was one of those buys that was just because it was nice n cheap, but is such a good piece to have. Remember the rule for basics. I've found one similar on Missguided for you all and it costs just £8!
This shirt does not get enough wear at all, the pattern, colours, shape everything about it I love and It goes with this pink combo perrrrrfectly.
To add that cute, pink finishing touch I added some pink socks above some chelsea style DrMartens (soz sis). This outfit could easily be transformed for a night of partying by simply changing the shoe to a high heel/heeled sparkly ankle boot.

FLUFF

I couldn't resist doing a blog post all for this one jumper.

If I were a jumper, this would be me. Fluffy, cute, warm and colourful.

It deserves so much more than a blog post...

Zara is most definitely my go to shop, they are killing it lately with their stock, I want literally everything.

Obviously I want to wear this jumper all day everyday so I decided to have a styling play with this it and put two outfits together that are the complete opposite to each other, showing that this beaut sweatshirt can be worn for both day/evening and at any event.

So if you were a weirdo like myself I've made it possible for you to wear this jumper literally 24/7.

1st outfit is super cute and casj.

I teamed the jumper with my zippy trousers, which are slightly different to the pair I used in my previous post, I know they look the same. These are a soft leather, more of a suede look is the best way to describe them, but they are so comfy and complete any outfit casj/dressy.

Only the leather version of these trouser are available in Zara however, any leather trouser or ripped denim would be the perfect replacement.

My superstars are the perfect trainer to complete my outfit, but converse/vans will go with this look just as well.

I think this 2nd outfit is going to be my dressy winter fave. I don't go out often, but I most certainly need an excuse to wear this (hint hint boyf).

I went all out with this outfit and why not, never be afraid to mix patterns and colours if you think it looks good do it!
I bought this skirt back in the summer, but I've decided to transform it into a winter white piece as it went so perfectly with this fluffy sweat.
The bag: some of you may hate it with this look, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
I had one of my mad moments and got this bag out along side a plain one, but in my opinion always go for the more outrageous option, ALWAYS. I think the bag and sweat make a good little team the blues and greens go alongside the blue and green fluff in the sweat, it's a match made in heaven.
Not going to lie these shoes are probably my worst nightmare I hate heels especially courts. They're too painful for me, but on the other hand look how goooorge they look. Every girl needs a pair of nude courts, they go with everything and add sophistication and maturity to any outfit.

Concerts & bargains

FINALLY the present I got my dad last Christmas had come around; tickets to go see Nathaniel Rateliff & the  Night Sweats.

WHO THE HELL?! Probably the #1 reaction as they aren't you modern day UK top 40 kinda band. There style is a lot more old school, country/soul is how I'd explain it, not to everyone's taste, but they're right up me n my dads street.

If they sound like a bit of you too click HERE to see more.

The only thing I hate about concerts is what to wear, especially in the winter. You need to wrap up, but it gets hot inside, you want to look good and a coat just so "ruins your outfit". So much to think about!

I decided to take the safe option for this night as I am always freezing and it has been too chilly for my liking lately. I wore what I like to call: roll neck heaven, my absolute saviour throughout the winter. It's so cosy and warm. Also the sip detailing, I L O V E a bit of detailing even though it's the smallest, simplest thing I think it makes such a difference and a nice touch to any outfit.
Zip central for this outfit as I've teamed it with my zippy leather trousers. Zip overload??? No way hosay, little details are everything.
I bought these trousers from Zara last year, but they must be a best seller as they still have them available to buy on their website and £10 cheaper then when I bought them, so worth it they a 100% a wardrobe essential in my eyes.
Now the best part... THE BOMBER!!!
I'd been looking for a bomber like this for too long, everyone had one, but not the one I wanted. I'm so particular when I buy certain items, they have to be perfect especially when they're timeless pieces like this bomber.
I wanted the oversized puffed sleeves (even if they do make me look like a bouncer) and the most important part the orange lining, how divine is it!

I bought this beauty at the start of this year from Urban Outfitters vintage renewal range. I will leave a link to a similar bomber they have on their website below. Although recently I did see in the Bluewater store they still had it in so if you want to get your hands on one find your local store.

All take a seat as this recent bargain buy of mine might just knock you over. Vivienne Westwood clutch = £30, yes really!
This oversized piece of perfection was most definitely the greatest bargain I will ever buy.
I spotted this bag at work and at the time it had 50% off (rrp £100). I put the bag on hold, waited for another one of our big sales to take place where it was then reduced further AND then added my staff discount on top to reach the tiny price of £30!!
Now that is how you make a girl happy.

Stay tuned for cuteness fluffiness and colourfulness in my next post.

I'm BACK!

Not that anyone will have noticed nor cared but Fashpine is back!

I decided to take some time off to focus on my next career move, but that is currently going tits up and so I've decided to put my time back into my pointless blogs about my life, outfits, skin care regimes and much more... YAY!

Last weekend it was my beloved other halves birthday so I planned a lovely surprise night away for both of us (top girlfriend award).
At the start of this year I'd been introduced to Air bnb the modern day app for finding places to stay all over the world. So I thought why not try it now and luckily I discovered this steal.

The place was old stables that had been converted into an amazing home, one half for the host and the other half for the guests. The wing for guests included a huge living space, 2 double bedrooms both en suite and you also got amazing country views as they owned all of the surrounding land.

It was absolutely perfect. If your looking for a relaxing get away this one is for you.

*For more details the link will be below the images*

I would go back just to have another one of these Jacuzzi baths, if you've never had one you honestly neeeeed to experience one!

To book a night away at this amazing place or even just have a look at what it has to offer click HERE

Now down to the best bit: outfits!

I HAVE to start off with probably my best purchase to date. These beautiful, beautiful, b-e-a-utiful red boots that are from Zara and cost just £50.00. 

I think this is pretty reasonable for a decent pair of boots and for those who shy away from colour they honestly go with a lot more then you think. These will feature in a lot of my future blogs so you will see how they can be worn with pretty much anything.

Next is going to be my second best purchase to date, and for anyone that knows me yes it involves POM POMS!

These jumpers just speak for themselves they are the absolute dream, well mine anyway.

I was so lucky and managed to get both of these colours in the sale black: £12.00 and beige: £10.00! Unfortunately the beige is out of stock, but its not all bad news the black still has a few sizes left AND there is also a pink version you can buy which is just as cute, but at the RRP (£20.00).

My roadtrip outfit:

Not the most pratical outfit for a muddy farm trip, but I couldn't resist this cute combo.

I'm ALWAYS cold so I teamed my dreamy jumpy with a plain grey ribbed roll neck. You can buy these in Primark for just £6, bargain!!

The jeans are a few months old now, but the same style are still available to buy from River Island.

I have been a loyal denim buyer from River Island for 4 years now. My own fave is the 'molly' style as they fit me amazingly and they are the only denim that actually fit me in the length perfectly.

They do however have a wide variety of styles and colours to suit all shapes and personal tastes. Highly recommend anyone to go there for all there denim wants and needs.

For the journey home my outfit was even more unpractical as it was pouring with rain, I think its safe to say my style is not for the farm life.

I didn't think this outfit would even look nice as not much thought went into it, but I LOOOOVE it and will defo be wearing it again!

The roll neck I used is again from Primark, but a knit material (It's not the same I promise). I've had it for a few years now and its still a key winter item of mine, basics are so important for your wardrobe!!

I bought the shirt a while back from Zara in the sale for just £15! The shirt isn't my usual style, but it's now become one of my fave casual pieces. This shirt is no longer available but the checked style shirt seems to be becoming quite a classic and you can always find one somewhere.

As I've styled my shirt tucked in it hides part of the text detailing on my back it says "couldn't of done it without rock".

The denim I'm wearing was bought on the quick as I needed them for a fancy dress party and they are actually now in the running to be my favourite pair. They are sooooo comfy and I LOVE the rips adding that extra detailing. I bought them in House of Fraser, can you believe it and in the sale for just £15.

My outfit is of course finished off with my two red beauties!
