What I Wore Wednesday: Meet Miss West End Girl

I love being able to meet fellow Glaswegian bloggers at events and one of my favourite I've met is my soul sista Lynsay. We both have a penchant for all things glitter and she's one of the most likeable people I've ever met. I hope you'll will welcome her today and check out her fab blog!

Hello! I'm Lynsay (AKA Miss West End Girl) and I'm chuffed to be guest posting on Transatlantic Blonde this week! Today's WIWW comes all the way from sunny London, where I spent a few days at the start of this month. The weather was so glorious that I finally got to bust out my sunglasses from Forever 21's Bats and Cats collection, hurrah! I love their exaggerated cat-eye shape and matte black finish - purr-fect (sorry) for prowling around the streets of London! 

That day we decided a trip to the British Museum was in order, and making the most of the sunny weather, decided to walk. I couldn't think of a better way to stay comfy (and cute!) on the way than by wearing my pink Hello Kitty x Vans sneakers. Anyone that knows me will probably tell you that I am RARELY seen without something big/ sparkly/ ridiculous perched on my noggin, so continuing with my kitty theme that day I wore my black rhinestone Liberace ears by Crown and Glory (my favourites!). 

My pink metallic skirt is by ASOS - my top bargain from this years post-Christmas sales (psst...it was only £13!) - it totally makes me want to be a cheerleader from outer space. Until that day comes, I'll continue to rock it as everyday wear! My tank top and biker jacket are from Topshop and polka dot tights are from Forever 21. 

When it comes to jewellery, I'm less a diamonds and more a plastic kinda gal. My brooch and necklace are both by Tatty Devine - another one of my favourites! 

We had an awesome day at the British Museum and if you're ever in London, it's worth checking out! Until the next trip I'm home sweet home for now, and you can read more from me writing about life and style in Glasgow (and beyond!) over at my blog. A huge thanks to the blonde bombshell herself for having me - have a wonderful week everyone!

What I Wore Wednesday: Meet Mummy's Got Style

I'd fully intended to jump back into What I Wore Wednesday with both nude pumps this week as everything I wore to a wedding was brand-spanking new but what I didn't intend was to come down with bronchitis. So the multi-talented Vicki has very kindly stepped up to the plate in my place this week! Vicki hosts #Fashionfriday over on her blog mummysgotstyle.com every Friday so please do link up your outfits or any of your Friday fashion finds over there too if you like!

Hi, it's a real honour to step into Transatlantic Blonde's high heel shoes this week, or perhaps that's woolly slippers right now as she battles bronchitis. Get well soon lady!

So, today I'm wrapping up in a my slightly warmer clothes as we go through the transitional phase of summer to autumn with sunny yet windy weather here in Yorkshire.

I do love Autumn/Winter style though and have loved lugging out my winter wardrobe from the spare room; big coats, my collection of hats, floral print scarves, knee high boots, brogues and *whispers Uggs!

So here I am wearing my new monochrome dogtooth print Marks and Spencer fedora (picked up in charity shop Oxfam in Harrogate (never been worn) for just £8-what a find). My faithful midi length black skirt is Topshop, black long vest, HM and pretty vintage style cardigan is by Darling, all puffed shoulders, pretty pearl buttons and crotchet embroidered collar. It might just be my prettiest cardigan for A/W and I plan to live in it!

Of course I've had to toughen it up a little with my leather style Topshop jacket and Clarks leather studded biker boots to give the look some edge. 60 denier tights are also Marks and Spencer.

Do you like the look? What are you excited to break out as the cooler weather comes?
