5 outfits for Winter

I decided to create some Autumn/Winter themed outfits for you. Most of the outfits are from Motel (...literally drooling over some of the items they have at the moment!) with a few Topshop things thrown in. 

I've really been liking velvet in unusual colours recently and paired with a black leather skirt it can create a really edgy look. I'd never be brave enough to wear this fur jacket myself but if I was styling someone else, I'd definitely pick this out. 

PVC and metallic items are much more risky but I definitely think if styled in the right way it can look really stylish and not tacky (I love these images).

I love this dress so much and it's simplistic style is just perfect. I'd love to style it with something that contrasts this such as this printed bomber jacket and then finished off with this bag and gold chain necklace. 

I really like the subtle tartan items that are around at the moment, such as this skirt. It would go perfectly with this long sleeve crop top and the Topshop boots (which I love so so much!).

I couldn't really do a autumn/winter themed post without a tartan dress could I!?. I still don't actually own anything tartan so I always feel a surge of jealousy whenever I see someone else wearing it! I really want to buy a hat at some point (fingers crossed I'll actually find one that suits me!)

Which is your favourite? What have you bought this winter?

P.S. I'm going to be adding some more items in my shop this week so keep checking!

Topshop Xmas Wish List

I wanted to create my own version of the blogger Christmas wish list (only 5 weeks left!). I decided to keep mine to just Topshop as there are so many nice things in the shops at the moment that it would be so hard to narrow down (I had difficulty narrowing down only these items!). 

What do you want this Christmas? Which are your favourite pieces here?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Bargain outfits

I'm sorry my posting has been a bit 'off' recently. I've been quite busy at the moment and have lots to do before I go away on Sunday. Chances are I won't have prepared any future posts so my blog will be post-free for a couple of weeks. Although I'm trying to save up all of my money, I've got to admit there have definitely been a few tempting items in the shops at the moment. I've created four outfits here by trying to choose the cheapest possible items. Let me know what you think...

Outfit 1

I really really want this dress. I saw it in the shops when it first came out and now it's only £15. If that's not reason enough to buy it, then I don't know what is! Anyway, for the sake of my bank balance, let's hope no outfit posts with this dress appear on my blog any time soon! I still haven't got myself a pair of heels like these (there's never an excuse to wear them). I considered buying the cheap Primark versions but never got around to it (maybe next time).

Outfit 2

Probably my favourite outfit out of these four. It's always exciting when you find something good (and cheap) in the Topshop sale, such as this top and this skirt. And these heels are definitely going on my wish list (I love that colour)!

Outfit 3

I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that these heels were only £17 and this lovely dress only £10! *reaches for credit card*

Outfit 4

The cheapest jellies I managed to find were this pair from New Look. Although they're a lot less chunky than the originals, they're not a bad replacement. 

P.S. My shop will be closed while I am on holiday and will be re-opened on the 5th September.

Pinterest

I haven't been organised enough to create any post drafts for while I'm on holiday so this will be my last post before I go away (See ya'll in 1 and a half weeks!) In the meanwhile, I'll leave you with some images that I've found on pinterest recently. I find my interest in Pinterest sort of goes in waves (one month I'm obsessed, the next month I've forgotten all about it, the next I'm back on it again). I've been using it loads recently. 

Which of these images are your favourites?

Sales Wish List

Hello! I thought I'd do a 'pick of the sales' type of post to show you what I've found whilst browsing countless sales online recently. I keep seeing so many bargains dotted around but I've had to keep my money in my purse unfortunately (actually rather difficult to do), to ensure I have enough money for my holiday to Spain (only 19 days to go - whoop! whoop!). I was pleasantly surprised by the Nasty Gal sale (I'm sure every blogger knows how great these clothes are, no need to explain) and almost decided to buy something until I realised postage was at least £10. I've only just realised I've left out Zara in my round up (oops), which just happens to be one of the most talked about sales around (I really should take note of things more often).

Anyway, here are some other items....

Which are your favourites? Have you found any bargains?

1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//10//11//12//13//14//15

Don't forget to visit my shop for vintage or high street clothes. I'll be uploading new items soon... - My Shop

Shoes, shoes, shoes!

I haven't been doing much blogging recently (commenting, looking at blogs etc.) as I've been revising for my last exam tomorrow. I find it slightly disconcerting when I feel as if I know enough and I'm not panicking for my exam (because it probably means I'm not prepared enough (if that makes sense?)). I feel like I do hardly any revision compared to some people who seem to be studying all of the time but I guess I'll find out which is the better technique when I get my results in a few months time (too scary to think about at the moment).  In between my revision sessions, I've been making a dress which I can't wait to show you in my next post. It's a slightly different style than my usual.

Anyway, onto this post. I have a real obsession with shoes. Sure, getting a new dress or skirt is exciting but finding the perfect pair of shoes just makes me ecstatic! Often I don't like to spend a lot of money on one item but shoes are the exception. I've collected some of the shoes I've been obsessing about recently below. I can't get enough of the stiletto style heels that are around at the moment. Zara sell the perfect pair and River Island also have a lot of nice ones as well. I'm thinking about buying a cheap pair from Primark (£12, I think) and perhaps leaving them how they are or diy-ing them, depending on how I feel. I know that the opinion on jelly shoes is varied but 1. they're practical, 2. they look good, 3. they're perfect for summer so why not!?. 

What shoes have you been obsessing over recently? Which of these are your favourite?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Perfect for summer

So I just finished my first exam during study leave - not quite sure how it went - but I've decided to reward myself the day off anyway! I hope everyone else's exams are going well as I know there's a lot of GCSE/A level/Uni exams at the moment, so good luck everyone!

One very annoying thing about having a background that isn't white is that these polyvore posts don't tend to look that great. I have considered changing my background to white (but I do like it how it is)- what do you think? Anyway, I've just selected a few items that I'd absolutely love to have in my summer wardrobe. Which ones are your favourites?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14

What I've been liking at the moment...

I was going to do an outfit post for you today but then I looked outside and decided against it. Next time I will trek outside even if there's wind and hail, I promise! I thought I'd show you some things that I've really been liking at the moment . Here are mine...

 (checkered crop top - Yayer, green crop top - Roksanda Illincic, shorts - River Island, belt - John Lewis, shoes - Topshop)

1. Crop tops

The chances are I'll only have about 3 days this summer to actually wear a crop top since the weather's so rubbish here in England. Who knows, maybe this summer will be hot and sunny - I'll report back in a few months time. I really love this trend though at the moment. I keep seeing crop tops on other people's blogs and it's given me loads of inspiration.

 (black top - Yayer, purple top - Topshop, Shoes - Topshop, necklace - Oscar de la Renta, skirt - Helmut Lang)
2. Off- the - shoulder tops and dresses
I don't know why but I really love this style. I guess it sort of makes an outfit a lot more elegant and can be mixed with something completely not elegant such as the boots above and look amazing.


(top - Givenchy, shoes - Jeffrey Campbell, skirt - Temperley London, belt - Oscar de la Renta)
3. Sheer fabrics
You can never fail with a plain sheer top. I'm pretty sure this trend will never go out of fashion due to it's wonderful versatility and ability to glamourise any outfit (if worn right that is!).



(dungarees - Boohoo, shirt - Todd Lynn, shoes - Jeffrey Campbell, bangle - Kate Spade)
4. Dungarees
Partially inspired by my friend's recent purchase of a very lovely pinafore dress. I really really want some dungarees now!

What items do you really like at the moment? What are you looking forward to wearing?

4 outfits for spring...

So I've been browsing shops online to come up with these 4 outfits for you just in time for spring (can't believe how fast time flies!).

After seeing so many other bloggers wearing clothes from Choies.com I decided to have a look at it and found I was in heaven! The clothes on there are all (literally all of them) amazing and not badly priced either hence why I included so many in this post. If you haven't seen it already, I'd recommend taking a look. 

What do you think of these outfits?

Black or White...

I've discovered the wonderful world of Polyvore. If you haven't yet tried it out, you can create collections (such as the ones below) to post on your blog. I'd heard about it and seen it on plenty of other blogs so decided to give it a go - it's brilliant!
Anyway back to the main point. I like to wear a lot of colour usually, failing that something with an interesting print but two of the main trends set to come in for this spring and summer (It seems crazy talking about summer when it's absolutely freezing outside!) involve wearing clothes that are black or white. I've picked out a few of my favourite items to give you inspiration for the summer months!

Which are your favourite items? Will you be wearing white or black in Spring/Summer?
