Just this morning I was musing over how, despite how many pretty dresses I own, my default movement on a Saturday morning is towards my jeans drawer. I’ve bought quite a few nice tops lately; blouses and brightly coloured t-shirts so I’m enjoying having a bit of a trousers moment, plus I’m a bit in love with my new Toppers jeans. I’m sure the dresses will be out more often when it finally warms up enough for bare legs (or I go on my holibobs, but more on that later!)
So I guess it’s quite fitting that the outfit post I’m sharing today is very casual and includes my aforementioned favourite jeans (or at least in one iteration of the outfit). You will have seen in my post about styling running shoes that I’m also having a bit of a trainers moment at the moment. I’ve started running again for the first time since January (it is painful!) so I guess sportswear is currently in the forefront of my mind. I never thought that sportswear would blur into my daily wardrobe (or that I would own enough for it to do so) but Nike in particular have some awesome stuff out at the moment – I’d definitely feel more excited about my morning run if I was doing it in these !
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by FreestyleXtreme, a Bristol based independent business specialising in urban, skate and alternative clothing and asked if I wanted to review an item. I’m a massive fan of Volcom clothes and I instantly picked their ‘workout hoody‘ which will be perfect for running as well as slouching around in at the weekend. I wasn’t really sure how on earth to style it for an outfit post so I’ve just taken photos of what I’ve worn it with a couple of times, sorry if it’s a bit unimaginative!

I’m going to carry on taking my photos indoors from now on but I couldn’t resist a quick snap outside in the sunshine earlier this week. It’s been nice to be able to bring my sunnies out of hibernation!

I hope you’re all having lovely Saturdays so far. Tom and I went out for breakfast this morning at my favourite little local café, Boscanova. I’ve only been there for lunch before so I was excited to try their breakfast menu, which is what they’re famed for (that and great coffee). Chai latte is my hot drink of my choice…
I had their ‘Lumber Jill’ breakfast…
And Tom had their ‘East End breakfast’…
The perfect way to start a Saturday – with pancakes, maple syrup, poached egg, bacon and sausages.
We had a quick mooch around Boscombe and Tom got his haircut in a salon called £9.90. You guessed it, everything is £9.90 – cuts, highlights, colours, everything! He actually got quite a good haircut but I don’t think I’ll be swapping hairdressers quite yet.
I’m afraid to say that subsequent to coming home I spent a significant amount of time on the Zatchels website as they’re having a 50% off everything sale for their 2nd birthday. After a lot of umming and ahhing I settled on the cream colour satchel (13″) for a bargainous £53. I feel very naughty, especially as I already bought a satchel this month but I’ve featured their lovely bags in a few wishlists and not yet purchased one so it would just be silly to not acquiesce at 50% off! Their sale is on until midnight tonight (20th) if you’re feeling a bit naughty too!
I mentioned earlier that we booked a holiday last night too (I can hear my bank manager softly weeping) – I think I’m going to dedicate a separate post to telling you all about that, suffice to say that I’m ridiculously excited, in 18 days I will be en route to cocktails, suntans and bikinis, whoop whoop! (Just need to locate that bikini body over the next few weeks then! Step away from the pancakes….)
