Well hello Monday, how did you come around so quickly? On the plus side, the arrival of another day means it's a day less until my birthday - just eighteen days to go guys! I'm sure it's not just me who finds Monday a bit of a struggle? Thankfully today wasn't difficult at all, I don't know whether it was down to the cheeky appearance put in by the sun or the fact that I've got lots of exciting plans to look forward to that's got me eager for the week ahead.

Todays pictures were actually taken yesterday before the boy and I dashed off to his parents for a traditional Sunday roast and a rather long dog walk with Kez. I've been dying to show you all my new toile blue print shirt for a while now, I'm seriously obsessed with this seasons print so I couldn't believe my look when I saw this oversized shirt in Primark - with a rather wonderful £12 price tag it just had to be mine. Even though the suns been shining in Sheffield it's still a little cool so the addition of my neon boucle jacket and my almost legendary faux fur tippet (it's crazy how much wear I've got out of this one) were a no brainer. To keep things on the right side of casual I added my much loved black coated jeggings and my wouldn't-go-anywhere-without Mulberry Alexa bag.

There's nothing I love more than an unexpected fashion twist, the juxtaposition of your Sunday best with the downright casual - as I'm all about practicing what I preach I decided to complete yesterdays outfit with my faithful Converse trainers. If you hadn't noticed trainers are having a serious moment right now (not that you shouldn't wear what you want, whenever you want) but I feel as though trainers are no longer reserved solely for exercise and the gym. For me they take an outfit from try hard to cool and effortless, did I mention they're damn comfortable too?

The latest viral campaign* created by Converse manages to cheekily poke fun at shoe wearers, giving them some well deserved footwear banter - I challenge you to watch this and not be smiling by the end...



Do you like to mix it up and wear trainers or are you a smart shoe girl to the very end?
