I've been reviving my love affair with h&m this month. I didn't really buy anything from their ranges for about a year and only recently started popping back in regularly to see what's new in.

I saw this grey jersey dress and decided I needed to purchase it immediately! I love basic cuts and this little number is so simple and classic (not to mention comfortable) I knew it would be a handy everyday option. the only downside is you have to be really careful when you wash it as mine shrunk, luckily I was able to exchange it and opted to go a size up, lesson learnt!

I'm also sporting some frankly gorgeous vintage inspired jewels delivered from rosie fox! rosie creates the most beautiful items and I've been itching to share them with you especially my aztec arm cuff! if you're a fan of all things vintage and quirky you'll love her collection, from hair accessories straight out of the great gatsby to statement cuffs and necklaces, a veritable treasure trove for fellow magpies..

I woke up this morning to glorious (if slightly chilly) sunshine! 

not one to waste an opportunity I grabbed my new topshop jersey dress determined to make the most of the temporary rain break! I love this dress as it's soft, slightly loose fitting and perfect to wear with tights and cosy jumpers (it also comes in a lovely oxblood version that I was torn between buying!)

I bought this new look lace and pearl collar a while ago and I think its quite a nice addition to the rather simple dress! I'm also wearing my new boots which I'm slightly enamoured with as as they make me skyscraper tall without the wobble as the chunky heels are really wearable! 

I kept the accessories quite simple today just my gold casio watch and a lovely double arm cuff that I found in the topshop sale last week!

I have to admit the majority of my outfits are rather casual, if I can avoid looking like I'm tottering around in my mothers shoes I will! I do wear a lot of bright colours but my staple wardrobe items tend to be in white and grey, nothing beats a cute pair of jeans and a crisp white tee for me.  

I love the new topshop jersey dress I'm wearing here! it's so versatile and easy to wear on a day to day basis. casual, comfortable and exactly the kind of thing I'd throw on to go out to the shops or to grab a coffee with friends...
