"The sporty silhouette is absolute chic" - Jean Patou

adidas 14:30

How can green and pink look nicely together!? I don't have the answers but Adidas do.

These trainers are so comfortable and super lightweight, which is not something I would normally comment on first but just completes the perfect pair of sneaks. I love how these are a new take on the vintage NMD’s, using colour blocking inspiration from 80s streetwear. Size wise I went for a 6 (very luckily the only size they had left on Adidas), these fit more like a 5 though but I think Adidas shoes tend to be a little small don't you think?

Bomber; Asos. Top; Gina Tricot. Bag; Monki. Leggings & Trainers; Adidas.

Colour wise I adore the green (you’ll soon discover my love for green as it goes so well with red hair, fellow gingers you will know what I mean!), the baby pink contrasts so nicely, loving the back detail especially. Go for another pale pink piece in your outfit for the perfect harmony.

I’ve been pairing them recently with black or navy jeans, or adidas leggings when I’m feeling lazy. These leggings are basically like pyjamas that are acceptable to wear outside the house.. such a must! Add a quilted bomber jacket and a sweatshirt or basic tee and you are sport chic ready. This sheer t shirt from Gina Tricot (the Swedish answer to New Look/Topshop) is the perfect solution if I don't feel like making much of an effort or don't know what to wear.

Shoutout to good old Lizzie McGuire.

Add a baseball cap to the outfit if you're feeling like a sporty spice. Price wise at £99.95 they were a little pricey for a student budget but I am super pleased with them especially as they are now sold out on Adidas. I feel weirdly lucky to have my NMD’s, in a geeky fashion way. (Update: This style of NMD's have now been re-released and are available in store at Size).

This perfect little black bag from one of my favourite brands Monki completes the casual relaxed look. One of those items that never go out of fashion, everyone is always in need of a LBB (little black bag, of course).

"On Wednesdays we wear pink" - Regina George

Honestly how cute is this little pink backpack!!!

After weeks of contemplating if I’d look like an extremely lanky school child if I wore a backpack I decided to just go for it, the pastel pink is too cute to miss. (please note: ‘cute’ is going to be used lots in this post). This would have to be one of my favourite bag purchases of the year, well one of many, I’m a bit of a bagaholic.

Hat; River Island. Bag, Coat & Jumper; Zara. Skirt; Topshop. Trainers; Reebok.

I love how sleek and unstructured this Zara bag is, the fact that I can fit my laptop in it and that it was only £19.99 just put the icing on the cake. Wear it over the shoulders or carry by the handle for a sophisticated look. The only thing I dislike about this bag is that it’s not one of those cute Fendi ones… a gal can dream. I love this lightweight blazer style coat, it's easy to chuck over anything, dressy or undressy. Matched with a super cosy, thick turtle neck jumper from Zara I bought in the sale forever ago and a grey co-ord is created.

It was pretty windy that day so to control this ginger mane of mine I popped on a (pom or pom pom?) hat. Can you believe how popular they were last year!? Well they are back again and out in full force across the high street. I was stuck between a khaki green hat or this black one, but ended up choosing black as it goes with everything (the obvious choice).

Add an enamel pin (how much fun is krumping marge btw!) or a vintage bandana to jazz things up, this goes for any bag of any style.

The Reeboks are borrowed but I must say they are versatile and comfortable, two key factors to look for in trainers. The black leather like effect of the Reeboks matched perfectly with the black leather skirt. Btw I unfortunately have no idea where these tights are from.. but does anyone ever know exactly where their tights are from? Real question or is it just me.
