Icon: Clarissa Darling + Mini Haul

'Allo!

So, the last time my other half was home we went for a sneaky Starbucks and the first thing he said to me was "You well look like Clarissa today"

I couldn't think of a better compliment!

Clarissa (1991-1994), was one of my fave programmes as a kid, I thought she was the height of cool!

The few bits and bobs of clothing I've bought this month have definitely been 90's inspired.

I thought I'd put together a lil' collage.

First up is a bit of a style board I put together from Google (soz Google) of images of Clarissa!

Everything in this is awesome!

The denim cut offs and neon slouchy tees, the denim waistcoat, high waisted, cold shoulder, crazy-ass prints! Hello, I love it.

 Cut off Denim Jacket - TKMaxx £11.69

My best bargain of the month was definitely this cropped, cut off sleeve black denim jacket.

Was so cheap with my staff discount at TKMaxx.

Not as amazing as Clarissa's dark pink number above but hey ho. 

 Its frayed, its rough, its perfect and feels good quality too.

Smiley Face Tee - Republic £12

Next up, the more out there thing I own as its tacky as hell but I was drawn to it.

This was £12 with 20% off in store that day at Republic.

I bought it a few sizes bigger to wear as a dress with leggings.

Not with tights as shown! That was a bad idea...

 Its rolled up sleeves and grunge vibes make me happy.

Denim Stud Dress - TKMaxx £10

And last is this denim dress with stud detail on the neck and straps.

Again with staff discount, a tenner.

This is girly and grungy and surprisingly light and comfy for denim.

Be perfect for easy dressing in summer.

Throw on some stompy boots or spiked sandals depending on the weather.

Is everyone loving that the 90's are back?

Who'd have thought this would all be back so soon!

Love Nina x.

Hello there!

Hope everyone had a fab festive season!

Mine was quite hindered by the fact of doing a week of night shifts right up till Christmas.

But I feel abit refreshed by the new year now so thought I'd dive back into posting.

I have a few posts lined up for a little while so watch out!

This is the outfit I wore the other day.

I know it's abit much to plan outfits so far in advance but I decided on my next day off I'd wear this! 

I wear all black for work so was excited to wear something different.

   

Shirt: h&m

Skirt: Internacionale (old)

Bag: M&S

Shoes: TKMaxx

Necklace & Belt: Primark

I love the combination of the different fabrics. 

The skirt is cord and the shirt really light.

My favourite part is definately this necklace.

I got this a long while ago and never wore it too much.

It's a bit of an awkward length to wear with much but it looks perfect under the collar of this shirt.

The shirt is rather new. 

It's really light so will be a good staple for spring, which I really cannot wait for!

I adore these shoes! 

I cannot believe they aren't docs!

When I was these in work my heart skipped a beat as we do tend to get a few docs in. 

They aren't the real deal but look how amazing they are!

I also had a giftcard as a prize so they were free!

I cant wait to rock these bad boys with some girly dresses when the weather gets abit better. 

What do you think of this outfit?

Anyone else a fan of this style of shoe?

Love

Nina

Origins Modern Friction

Hey!

 So, I was in work the other day, sitting on the floor tidying the bottom shelf of skincare when I laid my eyes on this beaut!

I sat in shock for a moment then went all Gollum on its ass and hid it till the end of my shift!

 This is the Origins Modern Friction face scrub and I got it for a third of the price!

OK so I used a £10 gift card I had but £19:99 for a £31 product is still a massive saving.

 Especially for a product that is a best seller.

And it turned up in TKMaxx!

I feel a bit worried cos its in a jar instead of a tube, sometimes discontinued items turn up in work.

But it seems to be fine!

I ran out of face scrub yonks ago so I needed this!

I used it this morning and my skin has never ever felt so soft and smooth.

I look forward to seeing long time benefits from using this 2-3 times a week.

Anyone else used this scrub?

Love Nina. 

My New Best Friends!

Helloo!

I just HAD to share my newest purchase!

I saw these boots last week in work and was all "ooh, I hope they're still there come pay day!"

Luckily enough they were.

And the last one in my size.

Fate =]

TKmaxx - £34:99

They are these Aztec style cowboy boots with a slight heel, easy enough to wear for the day.

The pattern has the texture of velvety carpet and they are just oh so perfect!

I really do love orange colours as you can probably tell!

 

 My boots match my hair!

OK, so enough gushing.

Has everyone got their winter boots yet?!

Love Nina.
