Girl Power

I'm a self confessed Pinterest addict, and one of my favourite boards is dedicated to famous woman who I find stylish and/or inspirational. I wanted to share with you some of these women, from my favourite lady of all time, Kate Moss and my ultimate style icon Anita Pallenberg to some new favourites Stevie Nicks and Jane Birkin.

It's not all about the clothes however, I love Iris Apfel because of her dedication to not be defined by her age and conform to how older ladies are 'supposed to dress' and Annie Hall has such a great character, it's also a bit sentimental because I always get compared to her by my Dad and Grandad; mainly her driving and untidiness!

I wanted to do a blog post featuring my Christmas gifts but I have left it a bit late so apologies for that! I was lucky enough to get four perfumes! Daisy by Marc Jacobs is my new favourite, it smells so gorgeous and it's one of those perfumes where every time you wear it, you just feel good. I also had the original Kate Moss perfume which is a favourite of mine for the day time and Paul Smith, Rose (which I left at my boyfriends house aaah!) a lovely floral smell, which is perfect for me. The purple bottle is Ralph Lauren '4' which was a surprise gift and a really good surprise as it smells amazing! I'm not usually very good at surprises, I think I might be a bit controlling but I just can't handle not knowing! I also received this perfect Dahlia blouse from my Nan (I LOVE IT) and these cute velvet shoes from my Mum (also a pleasant surprise!) both you will be seeing in outfit posts this weekend! 

This week has been my first full week at Motel and it's going well! January is always slow for retail so i've been keeping us busy by clearing out the stock room, re-merchandising the shop floor and of course thinking up some ideas for Valentines Day! If you live in Bristol make sure you follow the shops Facebook and Instagram @motelbristolstore.

Today i'll be working and to be honest I don't have many plans this weekend. Usually I go out every Saturday night but I think January needs to be a quiet one so I can save some money towards my skiing trip and maybe give my body a rest. Have a good weekend :)

I have been a rubbish blogger this week and not posted since Tuesday have just been so busy with my new job! After working my internship at head office on Wednesday I then worked Thursday- Saturday in the shop and went out for one of my best friends birthdays on Friday (where I wore the Laynie AGAIN just love it so much!) The weather has completely turned, I quite like the cold weather and much prefer winter style clothes to summer, but one thing I can't handle is the rain. It actually makes me a little bit angry and always ruins my hair, such a pathetic thing to moan about!

Today is a fairly lazy day as it's Sunday, last night I stayed in, ordered a curry and watched Spice World with my friend which was lovely and very much needed! As for today i'm just sat in the pub my friends work at with some mulled cider waiting to do the quiz later.

I haven't been able to do any outfit of the day photos this week as I have been so busy but I do have one from a few weeks back when I went on a night out with some friends. To be honest I look a bit weird in the photo, I have a weird shape, and it's not the most exciting of outfits, but I absolutely love the black and gold sequin cape i'm wearing. I bought it around 5 years ago from a vintage shop in Bristol after i'd seen a photograph of Kate Moss wearing a sequin cape at Glastonbury and have loved it ever since. Will promise to do a few outfit posts this week to make up for the lack of them!

Up The Junction

These are my new shoes that arrived today from Boohoo. I'm so pleased with them, they looked good on the website but you know when you get shoes sometimes and they're really plastic and stiff? Well these are soft and comfy, and I can tell i'll be able to start wearing them straight away! I'm a bit nervous because they're cream and I know i'll get them dirty straight away, but it's nice to have a change from my standard all black shoes! They were only £10 in the sale and Boohoo kindly gave me a 20% discount voucher so even better! I think loafer style shoes are my favourite type of shoes, they have definitely seen a huge resurgence in recent years because of Alexa Chung, but they are a classic and look great with jeans or tights. They come in so may different styles and colours but I think I will always have a place in my heart for the patent black classics!

Today is a misty, dull day and I am having my standard Monday/Tuesday wearing a big jumper and leggings, whilst baking, dying clothes and looking at blogs! To get us all through these grey days here are some nice inspirational pictures of people wearing loafers and generally looking great!
