style | simple

You can never go wrong with black and white in my opinion. And this outfit is feeling pretty autumnal now - I'm pretty glad it's getting a bit colder in England because autumn is definitely my favourite season!

I just wore this simple textured top with my pom pom shorts, tights and boots. Then I added my spiky headband to add a little bit of interest to it - although this headband KILLS after a few hours of wear so let's see how long it lasts today!

TOP: Miss Selfridge

SHORTS: ASOS

BOOTS: New Look

HEADBAND: Primark

In other news, I've chopped my hair off again! I'm in a period where I love short hair on me so I had another few inches chopped off last week. I've also had a bit more blonde put through it but I still want to go even lighter on my next few visits!

What do you think of this outfit - and the weather we're having at the minute?

So today is my older sister's birthday and we are heading out for not one, but TWO meals today. Food baby expected by 9pm.

I've decided to finally wear this black jumpsuit that I ordered from New Look months ago but never got round to wearing. I actually find it pretty difficult to sit down in as the back drags down and shows my bra strap - I definitely don't find it as easy to wear as playsuits. I also find it clings a bit weird around my hips but my hips have always been a little on the big side! It's also a little bit short in the leg but I think I can JUST pull it off. Damn these long legs of mine!

Worn with my kimono and these flats I think it's a pretty good outfit to wear with the weather we're having - sunny but the constant chance of rain!

Picture-heavy post today! I had one of those days where every picture turned out quite nice and I wanted to use them all! 

You can never go wrong with a playsuit in my opinion. I wore this lovely little outfit to one of my best friend's 21st parties last weekend and really loved wearing it. The playsuit is just really flattering, although a little on the short side on my super long body! Occasional bum shot sadly! I think this playsuit is so classy though, even with the shortness of it, and I felt like quite a lady in it! I also love the cutout, as it adds a bit of interest to the back of it, and I always like showing off my back as it's much classier than getting your boobies out!

I'd also have to say that this playsuit is so difficult to go to the toilet in after a few vodka and cranberrys - it opens with some buttons on the left shoulder and then a small zip but buttons are so damn difficult to do up when you're tipsy!

I just paired it with some new shoes from New Look and some nice understated gold jewellery.

In other news it's my 21st birthday this coming Sunday so I might be a little MIA over the next week or two!

We've all been there haven't we: got caught up in another episode of PLL and accidentally forget about that drying we put on 40 minutes ago. I'm a prime suspect whenever it comes to shrinking clothes in my house and the newest victim was my lovely smock dress that I got last year.

 It was always a tad short on me so after it got the shrinking treatment it's basically been hanging in my wardrobe looking all sorry for itself. I can just about get away with it with a pair of extremely thick tights - as long as there's not a hint of wind in the air or it would definitely be a case of 'HELLO LAURA'S BUTTCHEEKS!' so I decided to try it out with my disco pants and think it looks surprisingly nice. Smock dresses are a number one for me just because they are so comfy so I'm loving being able to wear this one still even after my slip up!

 I'm also really glad I was able to get this coat out again - I bought it a year or two ago and have never really known how to wear it just because I thought the shape was quite unflattering on me. However, now that boyfriend coats are a 'thing' I think it's a lot more acceptable to have coats which aren't the most flattering so I've barely taken this one off!

Has anyone else had a major mishap with their clothes that they have somehow been able to work?!

Let me know!

This year I decided to invest in some white jeans just because they are an update in my wardrobe which makes literally everything look summery. For example, stick white jeans with a jumper and it instantly screams spring and summer instead of winter. I can imagine that these jeans will not be leaving my body expect the occasional wash! These are the Topshop 'Joni' jeans and are made of really stretchy material so they are so comfy and lightweight that they actually feel like jeggings instead. I'll be honest, I've seen so many reviews of the Joni jeans either loving or hating them, but they are my favourite ever pair of jeans! The only thing with the white jeans are that they are pretty sheer so you need to invest in some anti-VPL/nude knickers!

Today I've paired them with my coral slightly cropped tee from New Look and a Primark kimono that ties everything together. I know that the boots aren't exactly summer attire, but I'm still on the lookout for some little sandals and have seen some at New Look that I might have to go and buy!

I'm sure regular readers of Laura Loves That took one look at these pictures and went 'a whole new look? nothing's changed!'. Well actually the title of this post refers to the possibly sad fact that literally my entire outfit is from New Look.

I said in a recent post that New Look is currently killing it for me, and is full of so many pieces that I would happily wear. It's a brand that I once thought of as mumsy and really safe, but the past couple of seasons have really shown New Look amping up the fashion stakes and coming out with some affordable yet stylish pieces.

Take this top for example: I actually got it in the sale New Look is currently having (check it out - it's such an amazing sale!) for just £8. It's from the tall section and falls at a really lovely place on my own body. It's also made of that weird waffle material, which I think makes it look so expensive and like you've made a little more effort. Details like the gold zip to the back and the different hem make me really love this. 

I wore it with my favourite pants of the moment - the disco ones I got a couple of months ago. I really love these but sadly there's a little bit of stretching appearing in the butt area and I have a feeling they will be going wither saggy or see through pretty soon! I do wear them to death though, so I can't really complain. 

The scarf from ASOS was actually a snood when I bought it a couple of years ago. You can tell from these pictures just how huge it is and I never actually wore it as a snood as it was literally like a neck brace and I could barely see my feet when I wore it. I asked my gran if she could turn it into a scarf all voila, these are the results. I love it!

What do you think? 

Do you think New Look has got a lot more fashionable recently?

style | New Look purchases

So the other day I decided that I really needed to get some clothes for summer. I'm going to London for a few days at the end of May and wanted to get some clothes that will be warm enough to wear even if the weather isn't that nice (it is England after all!). I went online to New Look with the mindset to only put things in my basket that are colourful and summery and not monochrome, which I have a penchant for wearing.

I think we can all clearly say that I failed on that! I bought all black and white which is so frustrating but hey ho, maybe I can paint my nails bright colours instead!

1. White Stripe Pocket Tunic Dress (£19.99); First up I decided to buy this striped tunic. I've seen one similar in Tosphop for around the £27 mark, but thought this one was lovely and I really love the detailing on the pockets. Plus, anything with pockets just makes me love it even more (is this just me?!). I think this will be lovely with a pair of sandals and floppy hat.

2. Black V Neck Strappy Jumpsuit (£22.99); I've been wanting a jumpsuit for a while now, just because I think they are so versatile and can look really lovely on a night out as well as during the day. I love the straps and cinched in waist and think it'll be really flattering. This one is an online exclusive.

3. Black Strappy Midi Dress (£17.99); I've also wanted to delve into the world of midi dresses and think that this one is a pretty simple one to ease me in. I just think it would look lovely with a tan and, again, can be dressed up or down.

4. Leather Look Tunic (£10 down from £22.99); This was definitely a really random buy for me. I just saw it on the model and thought it looked pretty weird, but for £10 I might as well give it a go! I do like this style of dress and think it could look nice on a night out. I'm just worried that it won't actually fit me that well just because I have a big chest!

So these are my most recent orders from New Look that should be arriving any day now. Hopefully they will all look very pretty - and if they do you'll be the first to know with a bunch of outfit posts going up!

I've also got my eye on these gladiator sandals and this lovely maroon hat so might have to make another order soon!

Two posts in two days, what is this madness?!

Today I had a lot of spare time so decided to spend my time wisely on my blog instead of watching Loose Women and whatever trash I can find on TV!

Today I'm literally wearing an entirely new outfit - I got this lovely bright blue top in the January sales from RI via ASOS. It was down to £15 from £28 or so, and I am so in love with it! I love this shade of blue and have recently found myself buying lots of textured tops as they look like I've made an effort when really they are the most comfortable things to wear. I can't find it online anymore though, sorry!

I'm also wearing my new disco pants from New Look. I've wanted a pair for literally 6 months or so but have never found any of good quality for a cheap price. These were £23 which is a little steep as they aren't the best quality, but they definitely look lovely on. The material can really catch on stuff like velcro and wood though so whenever I wear them I get really paranoid of catching them! 

And of course, my new babies - these boots! I literally only got them yesterday in the post but as soon as I put them on I knew I would be wearing them every day literally! I first saw these on Sian from SianShutterbug in one of her latest videos, and I'm so glad I bought them. For £25 they are the perfect knock offs of the Vagabond Dioon's.

I think this outfit could easily pass on a casual night out for drinks, but today I'll be wearing it food shopping (my life >>>> your life) and then I'm going out for tea tonight with my girlfriends - my first time at Chiquito's and I literally cannot wait. Expect many pictures of amazing food on my Instagram tonight!!
