Hi everyone, 
Like most people, I love cosy and comfortable clothes. Anything that makes me feel like I'm still tucked up in bed with my duvet and a multitude of blankets wrapped around me basically. So in order to jazz up a standard outfit that consists of leggings and a cosy jumper or cardigan, I like to make an effort with my shoes. Since it was one of those cold but dry days, I decided to wear my lovely wedge trainers from New Look. I love these shoes so much but I'm always scared of getting them dirty so it was the perfect day to wear them. Trust me when I say they are so comfortable. My favourite type of shoes are slippers, so the fact that I find these comfortable is saying something. 
When I first saw wedge trainers my initial reaction was something along the lines of 'what the hell, why would anyone want to wear them' and most of the ones I have seen here in Luxembourg look extremely tacky. But when I spotted these on the New Look website back in July, I just had to have them. Some people may find the gold parts tacky, but I actually love all of the gold details. And like I said, they are so comfy. They make you taller and are comfortable! Who knew that could exist? 
As for the rest of the outfit, I kept it pretty simple. I love the chunky waterfall cardigan from Primark, it kept me warm all day, in fact I ended up ditching the coat after a while. Since the shoes have a lot going on, I kept my jewellery quite simple and just added a gold bracelet.
I got this coat from Primark last year and it's almost perfect. Almost because the belt hoops are far too low and it looks quite unflattering having the belt around my hips, so I put it on at the waist instead. 
Have a great Saturday!

I went to H&M, what a surprise! But to be fair, it is one of the best shops for affordable yet nice clothes here in Luxembourg. I spotted these trousers and just had to have them. I love loose fabric trousers for those not overly hot summer days and these were perfect. And also they aren't completely black, which is different for once since most of my trousers and leggings tend to be black. I paired them with a hot pink vest top which I found among the sale items, also in H&M. I really like how the pink breaks up the monochrome pattern. I decided to keep all of my jewellery plain gold/rose gold and used MAC's Girl About Town lipstick, as it went nicely with the top. I feel like the wedges make this outfit more night out appropriate and flats would make it a more casual, comfortable day time outfit. 
Hope you all had a great weekend!

The hot weather has made me want to buy a million comfortable summer clothes, especially maxi skirts. I saw this one in H&M this week and just had to have it. I love the pattern and the colour, despite it being a bit out of my comfort zone. I might do a maxi skirt blogpost about how I like to style them. 
I wanted to start wearing earrings more often, so I bought a pack from H&M. I prefer gold jewellery to silver in general and really like that these ones are long but still dainty. I also happened to find these sunglasses and couldn't resist. I bought them this week but can't seem to find the exact ones on the website.
We all went to Saarbrucken on Wednesday because we wanted to go to Primark. My sister and I immediately snapped up one of these vest tops. It has gold chains as straps and is really comfortable, plus it was a bargain at 6€. 
I'm really glad I found these pumps, because they are padded on the inside which makes it seem like you are walking on clouds. I think they cost 13€ which for Primark is a bit expensive, but for shoes in general I thought it was reasonable.
Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday!

It's the fourth day of June and all we get is rain! My boyfriend was lucky enough to go away on a short trip to Lisbon and was able to spend some time on a beach, since the weather was so lovely. Jealousy doesn't even begin to describe it! But he did surprise me by coming back bearing gifts and I couldn't wait to try them all on. He got me a lovely set of bracelets, my favourites being the gold spikey one and the grey and gold feather one. He also bought me a gorgeous navy blue, lightweight scarf with white hearts on it. 
My wedges weren't exactly weather appropriate but to be honest I was too lazy to go and change them and I hardly ever wear them. They aren't the most comfortable pair of wedges I own, but I love how they look.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any links for the jumper, coat and wedges because I bought them a few months ago.
It's become a new tradition of mine to have more fail outfit photos than actual decent ones, but I like to include them because sometimes they are just to funny.
Hope you are having a great week!
