10/01/15: A WALK IN THE PARK

Today, despite the gale force winds, I went in search of a new place to take my outfit photo's!I find it so inspiring taking my photo's in new places, and I'm lucky enough to live near an amazing park! I've been coming here since I was little with my family and have spend almost entire summers here. I still find myself thinking how wonderful it is that parks this beautiful are free!!

It was freezing, so I layered up both my bomber and my leather jacket to shield me from the cold!

 HELLO 2015 

I don't know about you, but I'm so excited about what this year will bring. This morning (despite going to bed at a ridiculous hour) I sprung out of bed feeling so inspired and full of life.  I was so excited to shoot my pictures even though it's absolutely freezing out today!! So without further ado I give you my first post of 2015, let's make it a good'un yeah?! xxx

I'm absolutely in love with these beautiful American Apparel Riding Pants my big brother got me for Christmas!!

This shirt is also American Apparel but I've had it for years...I usually only wear it in the summer, but I thought it went with my pants perfectly!

I've also had this fur collared coat for years, it's one of maybe two things I've ever bought from Miss Selfridge. My wellies are Hunters.

This outfit makes feel like I'm just getting back from a horse riding lesson or something :-)

Yet another piece from AA, anyone would think I was obsessed that shop or something!!!

'Tis the season to go out with your mates and soak up all the festive fun, right??!! However, I'm currently sitting in my room wearing tracksuit bottoms and a baggy jumper haha !! I like to stockpile 'going out' outfits in advance because I never know what to wear, to parties and things! This outfit's so simple and also easy to dress up or down. 

Pop a chunky knit cardigan on and lose the hat for a cosy night at your local pub.

 Or whack on some 'way too high to walk in' chunky heeled boots (think Jeffrey Campbell) and a long black duster coat for a real head turning ensemble.  

Till next time ....

Lots of love Darlene xxx

Sorry for being a bit M.I.A lately I've been working extra hard to save money for Christmas. I just bought my first pair of American Apparel Riding Pants and I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit obsessed! I'm in love with all things AA at the moment I just love the fit of their clothes and the overall simple aesthetic of the brand! Hope you like this post!! xxxx
