We went out for a family trip into London and decided to share our outfits of the day with you! We've been loving the sporty look on Pinterest recently - I was inspired and bought myself a pair of black trainers to try it out.  Since then, I've been wearing them all the time! They are so comfortable and work with just about anything.  A pair of trainers work really well to tone down a smart outfit and add that bit of cool you're looking for to your outfit.  They seem to make it look like you've not tried too hard.

Trainers: Primark

I am also a big fan of hoop earrings.  They're simple and minimalist, but they add a nice decorative touch. Depending on your face shape, you might prefer necklaces or earrings, but we tend to do one or the other, never both.  I started loving hoop earrings a couple of years ago when I was inspired by my cousin Becky (shout out to the Floridians!) who gave me a couple of silver pairs from Forever 21 that I am completely addicted to.  They are just the right size and look really classy.  

Sarah's having some beanie loving action going on! She does look wonderful in all hats though (Emily writing here!)  A beanie does the same thing a pair of trainers does - it adds effortless cool to your outfit.  Sometimes you can be wearing a really plain outfit, and adding a hat just completes the look and makes your outfit work together.

Sarah also loves rings! (I do too, but I can't wear them because my fingers are weirdly shaped - bigger in the middle and smaller at the bottom so rings just don't fit).  These two are particularly valued finds.  The starfish ring is from H&M, and Sarah wore it to her school prom last year.  It's a great example of how jewellery can be dressed up or down.  It also goes really well with the colour of the other ring, which Sarah found at a vintage fair a couple of months ago.  These kinds of places are great for getting really unique pieces of jewellery or clothes for not too much money.  

The jumper Sarah's wearing was found in the men's section of Primark!  And it was on sale!  Literally the biggest bargain you will ever find.  £5 for a totally warm and versatile jumper.  We both love the funnel neck and the colour.  Take a look at the men's section - you might be missing out on some great finds!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Enjoy today!!
