Ditsy Prints with Scarlett and Jo.

Tunic: c/o Scarlett and Jo. Necklace: Topshop. Bag: Accessorize.

The lovely ladies over at Scarlett and Jo also sent me this pretty little tunic along with the Powerfit dress I reviewed here.  Unfortunately this specific tunic is no longer on the Evans site but was when I first drafted this post you can get the same style and cut but in this sweet feather print on this link.

As you can see this is a tunic but as I'm only 5'2 I can just get away with wearing it as a mini style dress and I actually really love it this way! The back is also a little like a dipped hem so it does completely cover your bum with length to space on me which is always a comforting thought! Now I'm a little more confident with my body I don't feel so worried about flashing my legs bare or in tights, so I plan to a lot more in the future! The fabric of this is in a stretch jersey and the most darling ditsy print which have a vintage flare to it of which you know I'm a huge fan of! Not only is this comfortable but it's also fits really well as in my experience all Scarlett and Jo pieces do. the 3/4 sleeve is something I also like on a dress as even though I'm more much confident than I used to be I do still feel a little self conscious over my arms so they're a lovely edition. However I don't tend to go for v neck pieces very often as I sometimes don't feel they really suit me but I'm surprised with how much I like this. I've also worn it a number of times as just a top tucked into a skirt with a vest top underneath. I just finished the look with a cute heart shaped necklace I got last year from Topshop and one of the coolest bags I own, I always seem to pick up a bag or two each year in the accessorise sale and this on is certainly a winner!

As you can see I've got nothing but glowing words for this lovely little tunic and honestly don't think I've ever had a bad word to say about a Scarlett and Jo piece they always come up trumps for me! So what are your favourite pieces from Scarlett & Jo's current collection?

Currently Coveting.

Playsuit: Asos Curve available here.

It's been awhile since I last did a Currently Coveting post but I've decide in 2014 I wish to make it a more regular appearance as I always like to see what other people are lusting for to be part of there wardrobe!

I'm also planning to take more opportunities blog wise with my photographs and to stop being so worried 

about posing in public as otherwise I hardly get any posts up (you can see how much I was lacking towards the end of 2013!) 

I saw this adorable playsuit on Asos this evening when  doing my frequent (Okay lets face it, pretty much daily) scope of the new bits and bobs on the Curve page. I'm a huge fan of playsuits and there is something that is pulling me towards this little beauty. Maybe it's the buttons, the comfortable and relatively crease free jersey or most probably all of the above and more! It could be dressed up or down but still look cute and smart. The buttons could be undone with a cami under for a new look, worn with tights or without over a swimming costume on a beach or with a fur collar and leather jacket. The possibilities are endless! Though granted I'm mostly just talking myself in to buying it even more than I already had!

For me Asos get clothes right every time and the majority of my wardrobe is either from there main range or Curve. The only downside being sometimes the clothing can be a little sporadic and odd with sizing's.

Top/Tunic: New Look (no longer in store)

Okay so this isn't something I can currently get in the shops at the moment but I've been desperate for it since I first saw it on a blogger what seems like years ago! It's only from the main section in New Look so the biggest size its in is an 18 but I don't care as I'm sure I'd be able to squeeze into it!

I found this one on Ebay and put my bid on it but didn't check back in time and was outbid by 50p! Don't you hate that when your outbid by less than a pound! I really wish I'd put a higher bid on it in the first place,

unfortunately there isn't any other on Ebay at the moment so this is more of a post to see if anyone does have it in an 18 or even a 16 depends on shape/size I might eve get in it, it depends though! 

If you see one online or anywhere PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I SERIOUSLY WANT THIS TOP OH SO MUCH! 

New Edit- I HAVE THE TOP HOPEFULLY! the lovely claire from French for Cupcake commented and said she has one I could have yayyyy!

P.S I promise I will try and get back to my normal blogging schedule as soon as possible!

Flower Power.

Leggings: Matalan. Dress: Simply Be. Denim Vest: Dorothy Perkins. Shoes: Evans (full review soon!).

These were taken when it was still properly summer, as its now September and its quickly becoming time to pack up my life again and return to uni for my second year (which I'm totally not ready for and don't want to happen) it feels like I've not had summer at all especially as I've spent the whole of my summer on an array of medication or miserable, I feel a little robbed.

But anyway one a lighter note I got this lovely dress from Simply Be as a thank you for modelling it while at Plus North as I said in that post whatever you modelled you got to keep, which was amazing. This is just showing how I wore it myself as its to big for me so I used my denim vest to pull me in slightly, I've literally not had this off my back since I bought it at the start of August.

Evans have also been really good to me lately and sent me quite a few pairs of shoes to try out from there new season collection and I have to say pretty much love them all! This pair came at the perfect time after my black flats (also from Evans) had to go to the big shoe box in the sky so these new slipper style have become my go to. Tomorrow I'm travelling to Leicester to start moving into my new house which means in the next few weeks you'll be getting a new tour of my house I'll even make it like cribs, might even get my housemates to join in and make a video! I'm excited about making a new room my own and adding all my trinkets and cushions I've collection but starting uni again is another thing entirely.

Inspired.

With a name like Rosemary its kind of obvious that I love flowers (yes I know Rosemary is a herb but I also get called Rose) and these are just photographs I came across while wasting my life away on tumblr, which is my favourite past time! I'm on the hunt for a beautiful floral crown with massive flowers on to wear even though I know the summers basically over I want one in wintry tones so I could wear it then too!

The bath photo at the top shouldn't be as lovely as it is to me, I don't know why I like it so much I just do. I don't really have a favourite flower as such I love a large selection all bunched together but I do have a soft spot for roses and daisies. Anyway these were just thinks inspiring me try and do something at the moment. If you follow me on twitter you would of seen how down I've been and I'm not any better yet either.

Also I'm on Matalans style project this month on there blog!
It would be utterly amazing if you could all vote for me, all it takes is for you to click on the link then comment with my name and then that's your vote done! Let me know when you've done it so I can thank you all personally. I will also be dedicating a full post to the outfit and project at some point in the next week or so. I also went to a CD signing in Manchester a few days ago and want to share the pictures with you/talk about the album, as it was pretty epic!

Floral and Denim.

Just a post to state that I am alive and wearing clothes! It's feels so long since I did an outfit post and I promise to get a few decent pictures taken before the weekends over I've just not been very productive over the Christmas holidays which is truly awful I realise! So here is a quick snap my best friend took of me in her bedroom this evening while we sat on her bed chatting utter rubbish and giggling very loudly mostly due to one of the utterly amaze presents I got for her this Christmas!

So what am I wearing the skirt and shirt are both new pieces from the sales I actually feel I've done pretty well out of them though now I'm definitely going to have to cut down my spending. The shirt I am in love with and its so comfortable! But its one of those pieces that if the majority saw it they'd think it wasn't very nice but i love the vintage style and the floral's, my mum kindly bought it me while we were in Manchester on boxing day and it was £7 from new look inspire. The skirt I bought myself as I tend to wear the same denim skirt all the time ( and I really mean all the time it rarely comes off) I think it reminds me of a seventies style though I could be wrong! I got it from Dorothy Perkins for £15. I'll show you all my other sale items as soon as I can.

I'm hoping to do a few posts before the end of 2011, it's sounds so scary to think this year is almost over and so much has happened I might start 2012 with a look back on everything I've done and what I plan to do, hope that sounds good!

Summery Florals.

This is just a short little outfit post because I didn't get chance to snap a full length shot of this because we were running late for the meal. I wore this outfit to a very old friend of mines 18th birthday meal and then we went back to her house and got a little tipsy, this is why you can't see my full face on these pictures my eyes looked awful! haha.

I got the top today from Dorothy Perkins in the sale, as well as getting 20% student discount which gave me an even better reason for buying it! The sleeves are wide and drape nicely over the top of your arms and if your like me and honestly cannot stand your flabby little arms these sleeves cover the worst part nicely without having to wear another layer, so I think I'll be sporting this quite a lot over the warmer months. But it looks just as lovely with a chunky cardigan over, I also plan to team this with some rolled up jeans for a more casual look. While in Dorothy Perkins today I found the cutest jeans they were just the right length and rolled up a little at the bottom and fitted well on my short chunky legs, though is it just me or do the crotch's on trousers always look really strange, it might just me be. Anyway these jeans were roughly 30 pound so I put them back down for now but I'm thinking about purchasing a pair!

This skirt is also from Dorothy Perkins in the sale just after Christmas I got it for 3 pounds with student discount as well! It's much more a summer skirt but I wore leggings under neath it during winter and it was fine. Tonight I wore black tights and brogues with it and a black cardigan which is also from Dorothy Perkins, can you tell I have a store in my local town as well as ones in a number of others near me?

Well I promise to get another outfitpost done with a much better camera soon! Also I had my interview at leeds college of art and I'm going to do a little vlog about it on my youtube channel aroselikethis so it would be great for you to subscribe and friend me on there!

Jumpsuits and Florals?

This outfit i have put together using only pieces from evans which ranges in sizes 14 to 32. The next time i am in the shop i am definitely buying the little pink ballet pumps i tried them on and there so comfortable, unfortunately at the time they didn't have my size.. but here's hoping!

I have also bee after a cover up just like this, it will keep you cool during the warmer days and help protect you from burning, then during the colder months it can be layered over a long sleeved t shirt with leggings and boots. It is a little pricey for me at the moment as is the jump suit but i find it really hard to find nice clothes which fit me well and are comfortable.

I think you could wear this combination for anything from a summer wedding to a day trip shopping and still not look over or under dressed. Next time I'm in my nearest evans i am going to try on this outfit and see if it looks as good as i hope it should. So keep your eyes pealed for a sneaky little photo of me wearing it in the changing rooms, haha.
