Skinny cords and the perfect red blazer...

Considering how much I love blazers and the colour red, I can't believe I have never owned a red blazer before! I spotted this natty little jacket when we were doing our weekly shop at Tesco and the colour and the fact that it was reduced meant that I was checking out faster than you could say "TOTAL BARGAIN"! I love the cropped cut and I know this will get a lot of wear with my growing wardrobe of stripy tops. There's something about the two together that I love....

Jacket: Tesco, top: H&M, cords: ASOS, shoes: New Look, bag: NW3 x Hobbs, necklace: Accessorize
The Bank Holiday was the first proper bit of sunshine we have had in a long time and I took full advantage with good food, good company and some super jazzy sunglasses. I really love these glasses but the arms are getting a bit loose now so I need some new ones. Do you have any recommendations for the perfect cat eye sunnies?


A sneak peek at the perfect pair of skinny cords and a look at Mark's shoes. I find cords much comfier than jeans and I was really pleased with these ones, they suck you in in all the right places! 


Where would I get some cat-eye sunglasses?

The blazer is gorgeous, what a great find! I love red and stripes together too, such a classic combo.
I'm after a nice pair of cat eye sunglasses too, trying to find ones that don't look too "fancy dress"-ish isn't proving easy! x

I LOVE these cat eye sunnies on you mrs! They're subtle enough not to be too out-there, looking lush! Hope you enjoyed the sunshine this weekend Maria :) <3 Claire @ Jazzpad

I love red jackets and stripes are always a favourite. I saw a really lovely look involving black cords on the weekend and now I am converted. They are my new fav look

That blazer is lovely - I think it's the one I've seen in the ads but I shied away from it because it was cropped. Looks fab in the flesh though!
