OOTD | Shirt & Stripes

Shirt - Primark
Dress - H&M
Sandals - Primark
Nails - Topshop Green Room
Sunglasses - Dissh
Necklace - Jewellery shop in Oz (Don't know the name sorry!)
Bag - Stall in Westfield Shopping Centre


Hey Girls! I just wanted to share with you all an outfit I wore the other day when me and the boyf had a wander in to town for some lunch. I got this stripy maxi dress from H&M last year and it is so versatile and easy to wear that I have worn it over and over again. If you follow me on Instagram you may of seen that I recently wore this dress with a black shirt too which made it look like a skirt. I now regret not buying it in a few more colours as it is so easy to chuck on when I can't be bothered planning a 'proper' outfit. It only cost a bargainous 9.99 and H&M seem to release them every summer so keep an eye out in your local store. For lunch with my boyfriend I decided to pair it with this burnt orange shirt from Primark which I tied in a knot at the front. Like the maxi dress, I regret not buying it in every shade going as I seem to wear it all the time. I quite liked the look of the shirt layered over the maxi as it gave a simple dress an interesting twist. As for accessories, I kept it simple with this cute feather necklace and my tan bag that I bought from a stall at Westfield shopping centre in Brisbane. I also wore these Rayban glasses which were from an Australian shop called Dissh. On my nails I am wearing Topshop 'Green Room' which I mentioned in my last post. 


So there we have it, just a quick post from me today! I hope you are all well and hello to any new followers. I can't believe I have almost reached 1.5K. Wowza.


Lots of Love,

Weekend Outfits | Fun in the Sun

Maxi - Primark
Crochet Waistcoat - New Look
Nails - Models Own 'Hedonist' 

Stripey Dress - Primark
Belt - Missguided

So Mature! 


Hey Ladies! I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend. The weather has been amazing in Oz so I thought I'd shade a couple of outfits I've been wearing. Considering its the middle of winter here in Australia, I really can't complain with temperatures in the mid 20s. I hope the weather has perked up in the UK, I hear its been terrible lately. Typical English summer. If you follow me on Instagram (kayleighjcouture) you may know that me and my boyfriend took my two year old brother out to the park and to feed the ducks yesterday. We had the best day, well apart form being chased by a huge herd of geese (yes, I almost pooed my pants!). Apart from this slight mishap we had so much fun and my brother had a whale of a time. He even woke up this morning shouting 'Kayleigh, Matt.. Take me to the ducks!' haha SO cute. As you can see, I wore two outfits. First being this gorgeous maxi dress from Primark and the second being this cute little stripy tunic, also from Primark. Both of these dresses were absolute steals. I believe the maxi was £10.00 and the stripy dress was £5.00. Good old Primark, it never lets me down. When we got home from the park/ducks we sunbathed and played football in the garden so I decided a maxi dress wasn't the most appropriate attire. Me and the boyf also decided we would have a handstand competition (see above) - because we are obviously so mature! My little brother found it highly amusing anyway. I'd also like to point out that these photos were taken and edited on my iPhone so I apologise if the quality isn't as great as my normal outfit posts. To be honest, I wasn't really planning on taking any blog pics so it was a bit spur of the moment. However, I must admit I'm quite impressed with the quality of the pictures, not bad for a phone camera in my opinion. 

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. Its my little brothers 3rd birthday tomorrow, the boy and I have bought him an electric quad bike so I can't wait to see his face when he opens it. I suspect there will be lots of excitement in the Johnson household. What are you getting up to this weekend?

Lots of Love,

OOTD | Nautical Neon


Top - H&M
Skirt - River Island
Necklace - An Aussie Jewellery Shop
Watch - DKNY
Bracelet - Pandora
Lipstick - MAC Morange

Okay, first let me please apologise for these shoddy outfit pictures. I really wanted to get outside in the natural light and take some decent pictures but unfortunately I just haven't had the chance. Instead of doing no outfit posts I decided I would just quickly take some pictures and show you this outfit I put together. I recently got this bright neon orange top from H&M and I have been umming and ahhing about what to wear it with. After having a rummage through my things I decided to pair it with this stripy navy and white skater skirt from River Island. I thought the contrast between the stripes and bold top was a nice summery combo. You can't see my shoes on the pictures above but if I were to wear this on a night out I would pair it with my tan Kurt Geiger platforms or bright orange New Look heels.    I also decided to stick with the neon theme by applying a touch of MAC Morange lipstick to my lips. I absolutely love this shade and it instantly brightens up my face. Again, I apologise for the shoddy pictures, it was the best I could get with poopy artificial lighting. I promise I will get outside tomorrow and get some outfit pictures taken.
Also, I am wanting to do a 'Ask me Anything' type post on my blog. Basically, what I would like you to do is ask me any questions that you might be interested in knowing the answer to. Your questions can be about anything beauty/hair/skincare related, my blogging experience or even personal. (Not that my life will interest any of you!) You can ask me your question in the comments below this post or on Twitter here. I have decided to do this as I think it is a great way to interact with you all, maybe help newbie bloggers out with some tips and also so you can get to know me a bit better. After all, surely a part of blogging is knowing the girl behind the blog. With that being said I really hope you can participate and I can't wait to answer your questions.

I hope you are all having a fab week so far.

Lots of Love,
