Outfit - The Ombre Top

I'm not a regular sales shopper but I am likely to pick a few bits out of the winter sales, they are always better anyway! I haven't gone crazy with sales shopping because personally I love the new stock that's coming into stores, but seeing as it's still really cold and a lot of the newer stock is very spring/summer for obvious reasons it felt stupid not to have a look at the sales. 

Outfit - A Winter Afternoon

It is starting to get pretty chilly outside, so I've dug out my faux fur coat from my wardrobe to keep me cosy. I love my coat which I bought from River Island two years ago and it is still as soft as ever and fits like a glove. 

Coat - River Island, Scarf - Pull & Bear, Jeans - Topshop, Boots - Dune, Hat - Urban Outfitters

I stole my boyfriends beanie, as my head was getting cold and I quite like it, it goes perfectly by picking out the lighter brown in the coat. 

River Island Faux Fur Coat always feels glamorous

I put a basic long sleeved green top with the outfit, just to add a bit of colour. I love the forest tone to the green, along with the brown which works really nicely. 

The coat maybe 2 years old but I love it more every day

I also wore a pull & bear scarf, which was made to be worn with this coat - I love them together, the tones of the brown worn so well with the black. 

Dune Rafferty Boots - Still on sale two years after I got them! 

I love these beauties - my Dune Rafferty boots, which you can surprisingly still buy! I was given these as a Christmas present about two years ago, so seeing as they're still being sold is pretty odd. They are good boots, with a sturdy rubber sole with a lot of grip, a small heel and the best part - the tartan fold over with the knitted collar. Beaut. 

None of this outfit is new, in fact the top is the oldest - probably 4 years old! But the colour is still as vibrant as ever. 

What are you wearing now it's getting colour outside?

You Look Like a Witch...In a Good Way

Words said by my friend when she saw me wearing this outfit. I was standing there with a broomstick in one hand and a black cat in the other...but y'know. 

Top and Maxi skirt - New Look
Necklace - Unknown
Boots - Topshop
Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

In all seriousness I love this outfit because I love wearing black clothes *COUGH GOFF COUGH*

This is what I wore when we went for Ice Cream the other day, fitting I know. It was so hot and I'm running low on summer clothes, this seemed the best thing to go with. 

I'm wearing a black maxi skirt, from New Look. It is so thin, which is good in hot weather because it flows when you walk, creating a (sort of) breeze. It also has pockets! Who doesn't love a skirt with pockets?

I paired it with a black stroppy top also from New Look £5.99. I love this camisole because it looks very basic from the front but it has a 'V' back. I have no idea which shop the skull necklace came from as it was my sisters but I'm sure you can find a version on eBay.

Close up of my sunglasses from Urban Outfitters

My trusty sunglasses are out again - Urban Outfitters. I absolutely adore this shape, it's unique and the size is perfect for my face, any smaller and it highlights my cubby cheeks!

Topshop Beetle boots

Fave shoes of the moment, my Topshop Beetle Boots - now I know they aren't the best material, I wish they were made from leather as the inside heel has scuffed on both shoes. However they still look awesome and I just forget about the inside of them.  

Skull Necklace

Look at that detail on the skull - perfect!

Outfit- £5 Dress!

This is believe it or not, a £5 dress. Who knew? 

Primark seem to be doing so many of these at the moment, they have an 8 way fixture just full of skater dresses, all with different prints all for a fiver, in the one in Southampton. Uh-may-zing. 

The sun was a welcome sight this morning as I opened my blinds. It was really lovely to see a bright blue sky with just a few white clouds. 

So I decided I was going to wear a dress, which I don't often do to be honest. But I haven't been able to wear this one yet, so I thought it was time I whipped it out the wardrobe. Also I went for a lovely lunch with my Dad, at a gorgeous pub in the middle of the forest, so thought this outfit would do nicely. 

I thought I would wear a necklace with this dress, but I didn't want anything too 'in your face' so I went for this simple one. My boyfriend bought me this for my birthday back in December, I can't remember where he said he got it from, but it is so cute.

I also wore my new make up which includes L'oreal Foundation, Lancome mascara, Rimmel Stay Matte powder and Benefit blusher. Which I will be doing a review on as soon as I can get my uni work under control. Third year is hard.

Speak soon

Outfit - Daisy Print

Earlier this week I went into the newly refurbished Primark in Southampton, usually I can not find anything in there, but since they've made it actually nice to shop in, I found quite a few things! 

In with the bits I bought, was this shirt, which I adore, the cute daisy print is perfect and black is my thing. I love the monochrome look, I think it's really chic and it's just so easy to wear. 

The shirt was a mere £12, which is amazing for how it looks and it fits really nicely. 

I picked up a few more bits and then headed for New Look, as I found they do a really good dupe disco pant. As soon as I tried them on I fell in love. They are gorgeous. They look very similar to the original disco pants, without the pockets and they are quite thin. However they aren't so thin that pants are on show (pet hate when it comes to leggings!) and they fit gorgeously. I have turned up the ankles as they are quite long, but I am only 5' 2''.

These great dupes are only £22.99, and I only paid £20.69 (student discount is going to be missed when I finish uni!)

Daisy print shirt - Primark £12
Disco Pant dupes - New Look - £22.99
Astrix Boots - Topshop - £42

New staple to my wardrobe. I also wore my trusty black Astrix boots from Topshop.

Outfit post - I'm on top of the world

Hi everyone! 

Currently listening to Imagine Dragons album, hence the title :) 

I'm so sorry for not posting in the last two weeks, bad blogger. Deadlines for uni came up and my blog took a bit of a back seat, but I have no submitted everything so that's it till October! 

How has everyone been? I will be doing a weekly post at the end of the week like usual, seeing as I missed this Sunday.

Just thought I would show you two of the three new additions to my wardrobe, which I bought yesterday in a mild panic that I had no summer clothes. 

Ok so I know I'm wearing a completely black outfit in 'summer', but to be fair it isn't sunny at all today, unlike the past week. I have bought something of colour for my wardrobe but it seemed silly to wear it today. 

The new aditions are the simple black skater dress from New Look, which I bought for £9.99. Just an easy thing to wear, when inspiration doesn't hit. 

I did however jazz it up a bit, by wearing my dotty tights from Primark, and my brand new amazingly cute shoes! 

These beauties are from New Look, they were £19.99 but I love them! They are flat forms with a slight wedge to them as well, which I found aren't as bad to walk in as I expected. I love the cute buckles on the side, they are also really comfy. 

I've needed 'summer shoes' for a while now, I always buy cheap ones every year and spend all my money on expensive boots for winter. Which is great when winter comes around, but the next summer I'm screwed because all my ones from last year are destroyed. 

Has anyone got any tips on good summery shoes around at the moment, I'm really struggling to find any that I like!

Just another week #5

Hi everyone, hope you're all ok? 

Just another weekly post, this time I'm wearing my work uniform, as I've been at work all weekend, and quickly took this post before I went to work this morning. It was pretty busy all weekend, which is always good in some ways, because the time goes so much quicker. 

But back to the beginning of the week, it was my last week of uni until after Easter, so I was making sure I'm on the right track with my work, well most of it anyway. Difficult when you have to do so much and you don't get time to see your lecturers. 

I started off my week by watching New Girl, I'm on America time at the moment, so I'm basically at the end of series two now, I love that show! Shocking and exciting, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who watches it on English time.

Then on Tuesday, a terrible thing happened! I dropped my Lancôme waterproof mascara, down the back of my bed! It is so annoying as I can't get to it, unless I take my whole room apart, worst thing ever. Along with that I had to wait two hours to have a bath, because the hot water wasn't working. Tuesday's aren't my day. 

This was Wednesday evening, I decided to watch P.S I love you, which is always a bad idea, because I always end up eating too much chocolate and crying into a huge box of tissues. However this time I had my cat Pickle to keep me company and when I started crying she gave me a cuddle! What a cutie. 

Thursday I wore my brand new dress and went to Chiquto's, a mexican restaurant, with some of the girls from uni in the evening, to celebrate finishing for Easter. 

Of course I had dessert! Consisting of honeycomb, vanilla and raspberry ice cream! Yum. 

Friday was quite a busy day, me and the boyfriend went to see my sister, to help her with her photography work. I had to be a stand in 'model' so she could sort her lighting out for her Final Major Project for her Photography degree. It was fun and we also went for lunch at the Slug and Lettuce. Afterwards Craig and I went home and watched some of Comic Relief and ate junk food!

Also found out Google are taking away google reader, as many of you probably already know, so if you want to carry on following me past July 1st, then follow me via Blog Lovin' by clicking the link in the side bar. Thank you :)

How was everyone else's week?
