Fashion - Bargain Buy

After seeing the image below on Instagram a while back I've been on the lookout for a pair of loose, slouchy, wide leg, relaxed trousers that I could wear with sandals, trainers or a pair of pointed toe flats should I need to dress them up.

I was recently prepping for a job, rummaging through the rails at TK Maxx when I came across these trousers by Maison Martin Margiela for the bargain price of £39.99! They are super slouchy, in a heavy cotton/silk blend and they fit my comfy but stylish trouser criteria perfectly. I wore them rolled up (as they are extremely long) on the weekend to meet a friend for coffee with an old Dries Van Noten khaki sweatshirt and Russell & Bromley snakeskin plimsoles.

This style of trouser are ideal for the weekend/school run/lounging around at home. I've scoured the internet and found some others that fit the bill.

Weekend Scenes

Another three day weekend! Yay! It kicked off in a very pro-active fashion on Saturday morning with a Capital Tri Duathlon race at the Olympic Velo Park, and I didn't come last! If you like cycling I wholeheartedly recommend visiting the track for a zoom around. 

Looking happy post race, the lactic acid had yet to kick in!

Post race fuel came in the form of homemade blueberry pancakes. It was the first time I've attempted them and they were incredibly easy and tasty. I substituted the milk for hazlenut milk and added some almonds into the recipe for more protein. 

Yummy Blueberry Pancakes

Much of the weekend was spent lazing around finally reading Grace Coddington's autobiography. What a life Grace has enjoyed! I finished the book on Sunday and love the flame haired super stylist even more than before.

Grace Coddington's memoir is a must read!

Saturday evening we headed to my favourite local burger spot The Advisory for veggie burgers and humungous onion rings. They do a mean bourbon cocktail too!

It was a sort of date night so I decided to wear my new H&M skirt.

Over the weekend I finally treated myself to something I've been lusting after for years. And despite it being a wildly extravagant purchase I LOVE it!

My beautiful new Rolex

A girl's got to treat herself right!?!

Enjoy the rest of the long weekend!
