Dr Martens x LazyOaf Review♡


The day has come where I finally own my first Lazy Oaf item, but never in a million years did I think it would be a pair of boots. On the 29th March Lazy Oaf and Dr Martens released a collaboration of the most gorgeous suede boots in both black and pink which I fell in love with. I knew the collaboration was happening and had seen all the photos showcasing the boots in all their glory, and deep down I knew I would not be able to resist them. I have had them for over a week so I have had time to wear, admire and get a good enough opinion on them to write a review, so here we are~



This collaboration consisted of one style of boot in two colours. The style is a gorgeous buckle boot with quite a large black platform (perfect for all us short girls out there). This collaboration unites both brands and showcases their iconic elements perfectly, the boot style screams Dr Martens while the cute addition of the heart shaped buckles, as well as the contrasting colour heart at the back, highlights Lazy Oaf's style.


As I mentioned, this collaboration saw the release of two different colours; a black suede pair with a pink heart at the heel, and a pink pair with contrasting black heart s at the heels - these were of course the pair I had to go for due to my massive love of pink. Part of me wanted both pairs so I could have alternating colours on each thought, but my bank and brain were most definitely against this idea.



I love these boots a lot. Firstly, the colour is gorgeous, it gives these clompy, big platformed boots a cute twist, which is what I am all about. I feel the suede material really compliments the pink as well, giving the shoes a gorgeous look. 

Secondly, the shape of the buckle boots are everything I needed. My ankles are constantly giving way so I need a sturdy boot to give me absolute support so I don't end up on the floor looking like an absolute klutz, and having saw ankles for days. The three buckle straps definitely give support and still look adorable - practical and looks cute? What a win. Not only that, but the soles are so cushioning, so add comfy to the pros list.

Lastly, the additions of the heart aspects really makes me love these shoes even more. They are such a sweet touch and really soften the look of what would be a "tough-looking" boot. The heart buckles are sweet, and the contrasting heart on each heel definitely makes a statement. The overall look and appearance of these shoes makes me love them so much.






I love these shoes and I am so glad a manged to get them. They're cute, practical and pink - everything I want in a boot, and I will be wearing constantly and showing them all the love and attention they deserve.

Much love,
Jessica Rose♡

March Favourites♡


Happy April lovelies, I hope you had a good Easter and are ready to start a new month. Looking back, March flew by, and in all honesty I can't remember what I spent the month doing. The one thing I can say though, is that there have been many thing that I have most definitely been LOVING. So I thought what better than to share it with you~

Primark Marie Bedding

I had to make this the first thing I spoke about, I am in love with it. If you couldn't tell from my last post, I am a HUGE Marie fan, so this new collection from Primark is heaven to me. The item that has stood out most to me though is this bedding. I love Primark bedding anyway, but this pastel pink one really is beautiful with the Marie print on both the duvet cover and pillowcase. It is double sided which means things can be switched up, and it matches my room beautifully. The only thing I will say is it is quite a big fit on a single duvet but I think that was down to my low tog. This cost £15, which is a little bit pricey for Primark but most definitely worth it!


Tee and Cake Macaron Jumper

This jumper I looked at on multiple occasions but stopped myself from purchasing. Then one spontaneous look in Topshop led to me buying it - and I don't regret it one bit. As I write this I am currently wearing the jumper. It has been my most worn item in March - it's cute, it's comfy, and it has macarons on it, does it get any better than that? Recently I have been wearing clothes on the comfier side, so it has been amazing to find a jumper this comfy that also looks super adorable. This is from the brand Tee and Cake and costs £30.


Animal Crossing Pocket Camp

Now this app has been out for a while and definitely received some serious hype when it was first released - and then many lost interest, including me (oops). But March was the month that I got back into it, and I am absolutely OBSESSED again. The app is simple, but that is what is so great about it. It's easy, it's chill, and now there is always new events to try out which means less chance of getting bored - I particularly loved the fishing tourney and can't wait for the next one! I am a person who finds it difficult to relax, rest and do nothing, but this app gives me an excuse to sit down with a cup of tea and just chill for a bit. Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is available on iOS and Android - and it is free. Add me using 1849 1962 337

Green Tea

I have been LOVING green tea throughout March, just plain old green tea. This is how I have been starting my mornings in March and it will definitely be something I shall stick with. I love regular tea, a lot, and by no means do I prefer green tea over it. But green tea is definitely the best way to start my mornings, it is light and refreshing and really helps to wake me up.

Too Faced Natural Love Palette

I got this eye shadow palette for Christmas and I have been using it since then, but March was the month I really experimented with the different colours it has to offer - and I LOVE! This eye shadow palette from Too Faced fulfils all my spring needs (which the weather is clearly depriving me of). There is such a wide range of colours, and while I usually stick to pale colours and pinks - I have been using the orange and brown toned shades which are absolutely gorgeous. I had a few interviews and different events during March, and each time I turned to this palette and was not disappointed. Most places it is sold out, however this site has it for £42.



That's all for my March favourites, you will definitely be hearing from me more this April as I have many posts planned!

Much love,
Jessica Rose♡
