I Come With My Broken Song, To You The Perfect One // OOTD

Grey Tee: Asos
Red Hoodie (Under Denim Jacket): Topshop
Denim Jacket: Charity Shop
White Jeans: H&M
Galaxy Print Shoes: New Look
Necklace: Aeropostale

Its June. Yes, June. Apparently that means it’s summer, but sitting at my desk watching the rain trickle down the window in front of me makes me question that. I shot this outfit in-between blusters of wind and the occasional rumble of thunder - so do excuse the windswept look I appear to be sporting! And what better background that some bold, Toronto graffiti to be a perfect contrast for this very simple outfit. My go to for a cold ‘summer’ day!

White jeans are a bit of a classic and go with everything. A different grey tee for every mood? Check. Galaxy print shoes? Why not. Throw on my trusty denim jacket I found tucked away in the back of a charity shop and I’m good to go.

But seriously. Summer in Toronto is not meant to resemble summer in England. Rain rain go away. Summer; we're expectant.

Guess Who's Back... Back Again // OOTD

Dungarees // Missguided
Chelsea Boots // New Look
Black Tee // Primark
Necklace // H&M

Welllllllll holla! 

So it’s currently been 15 months & 24 days since my last blog post. If that’s not slacking I don’t know what is. Life has changed a lot in that apparently short amount of time. I am no longer living in beautiful Bath, and instead exploring the delightful adventure of residing in crazy, wonderful Toronto and am interning at the ever fabulous Catch The Fire church in the Events department.

I took a break from blogging for more than one reason. 

1. Insecurity
2. Lack of motivation
3. Lack of a photographer

Well, no more! this is it. I want to give this my time, my effort and my best. And we’ll see where this adventure leads. One other change… Little Rose is no more. I thought, with a new start, comes a new name. So welcome, Rozzi May. (So original).

If you crazies are still following me after all this time, then I can do nothing but thank you from the bottom of my heart, and promise some content that I hope you’ll enjoy.

'Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking' | OOTD

So sad to say this will probably be my last fashion post for the foreseeable future. Unless you guys are interested in seeing my sexy NHS sandals and crutches? Look out for many wish-lists though, even if I can't properly wear the clothes, I can still think about them, right? I have spent this afternoon watching The Devil Wears Prada, which is one of my favourite films of all time - hence the title today! Please continue to leave your blog links down below or on twitter (@LittleRoseRozzi) because I've got lots of spare time on my hands!

Skirt: Primark | Csmi Top: Topshop | Blazer: Primark | Shoes: Next

Okay, so I know it's not quite spring, however I can definitely pretend! I love the way this top compliments this skirt - the colours go so nicely together! I absolutely fell in love with this skirt when I saw it in Primark, I just don't think it looks as cheap as it is! It cost me £12, which was cheaper than the top! I know that this is more of a spring outfit, but I am seriously excited for the seasons to change, so yes, I'm dressing for it - even though I wore this with a big coat when I actually left the house... but the thought was there.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink | OOTD

Coat: Topshop | Dress: eBay | Heels: New Look

Just so you know, my foot hasn't made a miraculous recovery (waaa). These photos were taken prior to my little accident, but at least luckily I still have some blog posts to put up!

I fell in love with the ASOS smock dress in this print, but it sold out so quickly I didn't have a chance to order it! Then I found this gorgeous dress whilst searching through eBay, and although the shape isn't as lovely as the ASOS one, it was a good £20 cheaper and the print is very similar, if not the same! It goes really nicely with my Topshop coat, that I am using every excuse to wear at the moment, hence it's second feature on the blog already! All in all, this is a very simple & comfortable outfit, that I loved wearing.

I have one outfit post left to put up that I took before breaking my foot, so definitely expect more beauty posts over the next couple of weeks!

Loads of Love, Rozzi xxx

Every Night We'll Watch The Stars | OOTD

Yellow Checked Coat: Zara | Cream Jumper: H&M | Jeans: New Look | Shoes: New Look

This post features two major sale bargains. The bigger of the two being this gorgeous checked coat from Zara. I ummed and ahh'd about whether to buy this coat, and then of course it sold out and I decided I needed it. Typical. However I was doing some serious Zara shopping with Toby's mum Jo when I went to Lisbon in July, and found it, in my size, for €40 (roughly £33!) Amazing. However, because I bought it late summer, it soon became far too cold to wear back in the UK, so I am eagerly awaiting Spring to whack out this beauty.

Second bargain are these beautiful cream heels from New Look. Super comfy, with a nice thick heel, making me look taller, but not costing me any comfort. Win. New Look is so good for good quality, well priced fashion, definitely a favourite of mine.

Are you looking forward to spring?!

Lots of Love, Rozzi xxx

Can I Get Your Lips To Speak My Name? | OOTD

Coat: Topshop | T-Shirt: New Look | High-Waisted Black Jeans: Primark | Brown Brogues: New Look (sold out, but similar here)

First of all, big apologies for the lack of posts - I can't believe how long it's been since I sat down and wrote a post! It's been a hectic couple of weeks, and what with the weather & everything, finding a good day to go out and shoot some outfits has been impossible! And yes, everyone with eyes will see half of my hair is gone! I decided to bite the bullet and go for it, long bob it is. (post to follow soon!)
Anyway, onto the outfit....

I bought this coat in the Topshop sale for £45. Yes, £45! I was so excited to find ways to style it, so keep your eyes pealed for many more outfits featuring this pink beauty. It is also fair to say stripes are one of my current obsessions. I keep buying stripes, forgetting I have millions of stripy tops/dresses/jumpers already in my wardrobe! Forgetting that, I love the way it looks with my pink coat and I feel very Paris-chic in it.

How would you style this coat?

Lots of Love,

Cosy Jumper Day | OOTD

Jumper: Apricot | Jeans: Primark | Boots: New Look | Necklace: H&M

Toby and I braved the January sales the other day, and what better to wear than a cosy knit and comfy boots?!
My parents bought me this beautiful jumper from Apricot, I love the wintery print, but not only this, it is the nicest feeling material, making it super warm & cosy. Yes, I'm wearing those Primark jeans again. Considering they cost me £11, they're high waisted and very comfortable, I will continue to wear them over and over! In fact I'm considering giving them a blog post all to themselves...
And finally, is it just me who is in love with these boots? I picked them up in a cheeky New Look sale before Christmas, and they haven't been off my feet. I love the cowboy-esque vibes they give, but they really do go with so much!

Love, Rozzi xxx

Love is the Light, Scaring Darkness Away

Dress: Topshop | Shoes: New Look

So Christmas is officially over, but for all of you Christmas lovers out there, don't worry! It's only twelve months until we can can do it all again! I love having some time off work, where I can where what I want, and trust me, I make the most of it! I bought this dress in the Topshop sales, which are already in full swing, and it's not even January yet! It's completely flattering, and being black, it's a pretty staple piece for any time of year. To keep in tune with the black, simple theme, I opted for my favourite canvas brogues from New Look, very cheap and cheerful, and one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own.

I'm off to plan my outfit for New Year now, can you believe it's only 2 days away!?

Loads of Love,

Potential Christmas Day Outfits

The Smart Option

Top: Primark | Skirt: Topshop | Heels: Next | Necklace: Matalan | Jacket: H&M | Lipstick: Maybelline Colour Sensational Vivid's in Pink Punch

Everyone needs a smart option for the big day. I opted for this beautiful burgundy top from Primark, and paired it with a plain black skater skirt from Topshop. The simplicity makes the outfit looks sophisticated, with the skater skirt hiding any unwanted food babies! Over the top I opted for my comfy black jacket from H&M to keep the simple but elegant theme.

The Dressy Option

Dress: Primark | Heels: Next | Lipstick: Tarte Glamazon in Fierce 

Who doesn't love tartan for this festive season? This tartan dress from Primark is a great dress that looks like you have put in a lot of effort into your outfit, when in reality, you've probably just rolled out of bed into it! Maybe more of a dress for the morning whilst you're unwrapping your presents though, as beautiful as it is, this dress won't hide your food baby! 

The Casual & Comfy Option

Jumper: Topshop | Jeans: Primark | Boots: Primark | Bowler Hat: H&M | Lipstick: Mac Lipstick in Syrup

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a Christmas jumper option now would it? For a comfortable & casual outfit on Christmas Day, a Christmas jumper I the obvious answer. The one I've chosen this year is the cutest red jumper from Topshop, covered in gingerbread men. It's the most comfortable jumper I own, making it fit perfectly into my 'comfortable category'! I paired it simply with my high waisted black jeans, making it an easy and casual outfit!

Toby's Christmas Outfit

Had to include few a pictures of Toby's Christmas Outfit, featuring his amazing Christmas pudding jumper and hat, both courtesy of Primark! 

Have an amazing Christmas, I hope Santa brings you everything you want, and your day is filled with happiness!

When Oceans Rise, My Soul Will Rest In Your Embrace

Dress: Primark | Leather Jacket: H&M | Shoes: Next | Necklace: H&M | Nail Polish: Red Black by Barry M | Lips: Almay Liquid Lip Balm in Apricot Pucker

So here in the UK I think it's fair to say it's getting a little bit chilly. and wet. And although it's not freezing cold, I am definitely embracing layers!

I have received so many this on this dress, which, considering it cost me all of £8, I was so pleased about! Good old Primark. It's so easy to wear, as it goes with tights and a jacket, but it would be really easy to style in the summer too with some brown ankle boots!

Fairly minimal on the makeup, Wet n Wild Comfort Palette on the eyes, and the Almay Liquid Lip Balm on the lips! I painted my nails with Barry M's Black Red, because I thought it went so well with this dress and is my favourite autumn shade!

Lots of Love,
Rozzi xxx

Summers End | OOTD

Dress: ASOS | Bowler Hat: H&M | Cut Out Boots: Primark

My favourite time of year is here again, and I don't think I'm the only one who loves the transition from summer to autumn, from sandals to boots, and dresses to jumpers. Today was one of those days where you wake up, look out of the window and decide it is going to be a beautiful day - but I still opted for some trusty boots. Just in case. 

This dress is amazing for all year round. The print is really versatile, and looks great with tights or sandals! I love smock dresses in general. I think they're really flattering on my curvy body shape, and hide all the bits you don't want on show; (love handles, I'm looking at you!)

I love the look of the hat and the boots with this dress, it fits the monochrome trend perfectly. These boots are great dupes for the Jeffrey Campbell cut out boots, from Primark at only £18 I think they're great. Even dupes for the Topshop Arabel 2 Cut Out Boots at under half the price.

What's your favourite thing about Autumn? Do you love this time of year too?!

Lots of love,

Rozzi xxx

As many times as I blink, I'll think of you tonight

Top: New Look | Kimono: H&M | Shorts: BS8 | Belt: Vintage | Galaxy print shoes: New Look | Casio: Target (Stolen from Toby) 

By the time you guys read this, I will be flying home from sunny Portugal back to dear old England. I had the best time on holiday, and Cascais is a beautiful little town to stay in, away from the regular tourist scene. As much as I love the sun and warm weather, I am looking forward to Autumn, which comes hand in hand with layers and fluffy socks. I am a winter girl at heart, being a January birthday, and December 25th being my favourite day of the year, I welcome the winter fashions, whereas a lot of people don't. In England, people wear shorts and sun hats until the bitter end of summer, whereas I am already 'cosied' up with my dark reds and browns.
However, when this outfit was worn (to death, all holiday), it was hot hot hot, so even for a girl who apparently loves to be cold, this was comfy and casual. Pretty much your basic 'shorts and a t-shirt' sort of look, but the H&M kimono I threw over the top, adds elegance and a bit more colour.
Talking of colour, how amazing are these galaxy print shoes? I picked them up for about a tenner in New Look about 2 months back, and to be honest they haven't really seen the light of day. (Haha, geddit?) However, I knew I would be needing some comfy shoes to walk in, and so into the suitcase they went. I am so glad I packed them - I have literally worn nothing but these and my flip-flops!
As much as I have thoroughly enjoyed myself here, I will be glad to be home. Next week starts a new chapter in my working experience, and I am really excited to see what life has to throw at me.

Let me know what you would like to see from this blog, anything you would like to see reviewed or my opinions on?!

Lots of love,

OOTD | Monk Searching

I took these pictures (or Toby took these photos) whilst visiting a Monastery in Belem (near Lisbon). It was a beautiful building, and I really enjoyed looking at all the beautifully designed pillars and columns! 

It was so so hot, so I decided to go with my really loose dress from Topshop - it's quite an old one now, so I couldn't find a link unfortunately, however if you're lucky you could try eBay... 

I bought this dress from the Tall section (even though my 5ft3 height means I am by no means tall) because the regular dress was just too short! I love the pattern, and the colours are so vibrant making it the perfect summer dress! Plus it was worn by the beautiful Mollie from the Saturdays! (what a great dress sense...)

Think it's fair to say she wore it better....

The only suitable shoes I brought with me for this heat and walking are my trusty £1 Primark flip flops (packing fail!), so of course, as per usual, they were glued to my feet.

How would you style this dress?

Love, Rozzi xxx

You want me down on earth, but I am up in space

Dress: Primark | Sandals: Matalan | Bag: Primark


excuse the chipped nail polish... - beauty blogger fail!

As some of you may have guessed, I am currently on holiday in Portugal at the moment! I am loving it, and although the temperature is probably about the same back at home right now, it is so nice to get away and get familiar with somewhere new.

I bought this brilliant red dress a while back from Primark, (£13 - what a bargain!) but haven't been able to wear it much because of the typical English rain, and by the time the sun started to make an appearance, it had already firmly secured it's spot inside my suitcase. I love how easy this dress is to wear; it's flattering yet really comfortable, especially for the hotter temperatures!

Hope you are all having an amazing summer!

Love, Rozzi xxx
