Autumn Wishlist

I love Autumn, it's my favourite season, the leaves are looking ultra pretty, the jumpers are out and the coffee is flowing. Gone are the days of an ice drink in Starbucks, onto the warm Vanilla Lattes and pastries that will warm up the chilliest of days. This season is all about getting boots and coats that will keep you cosy this winter. 

Seeing as I don't have enough money for all these things I thought I would make a wishlist instead! 

All the things I need in my wardrobe this autumn

From left to right: 

Chunky knit cardigan £28

I really need a chunky black cardigan, I don't have one and I would love something that I can just throw on, know I'll look good and be super warm! 

Suede green boots  £35 

Oh god these boots! Boot heaven. Enough said. 

Faux fur and leather waistcoat £68

This waistcoat is to die for! I tried it on in River Island and restrained from buying it then and there! However I bought Elle magazine the other day and low and behold there is a 25% off voucher for River Island in it! Hello jacket ;) 

Fedora £28 

Such a cute fedora, I love the gold detailing. 

Striped top £22 

Can't go wrong with a striped top! 

Cord pinafore dress £39

Mmmmm burgundy, with the seasons must have - cord.

Lace up flats £28 

I'm actually going to go and buy these today, I really need a pair of nice flats that aren't boots. 

Checked scarf £39

I love this scarf, the colours and the fact it is huge, so I could really bundle up in it on cold days. 

I have strong feelings towards winter clothes, I just love them. I love being covered in multiple layers and feeling snug, so I just need to get some money together to be able to buy 1,000 jumpers!

Just another week #8

It's Sunday and I have to go back to uni on Wednesday! Not that I actually have to go anywhere, or travel, it's only a 15 minute drive every morning but, it will be nice to get back into a proper routine again! Instead of waking up at 12pm and mooching around all day, not doing much. 

So onto what's been happening this week:

1. This week has had it's ups and downs, first of all, I was sick on Tuesday, which wasn't great as I was going to book my tattoo on Tuesday. However I couldn't get out of bed - girl problems. Let's leave it at that. 

2. Just an image from my blog, I entered the Passion for Fashion competition in association with money super market, you can read my entry here, and there is still time if you want to enter! Competition closes tomorrow at 12pm! 

3. Me wearing my new Fedora! So glad I finally have one, read my outfit post on it here. 

4. A set of images from my Zara city office bag! Finally got my hands on it, I will be doing a 'what's in my bag' post later on this week, as well as a review of the bag itself. 

5. Another image including my new bag, new hat and new Elle magazine. I thought it looked really cute. 

6. Thatchers cider at the pub yesterday, with my parents. We had to get out of my house because we had a house viewing (we're selling our house), seeing as it was an actual spring day yesterday we decided to sit outside, and I had a pint of cider :) 

7. When we got home I turned the TV on to see the Mannequin was being shown, Ok, it's not the best film, but to see Kim Cattrall not in Sex in the City is a novelty, and the fact it optimises the 80's I couldn't resist.

8. My Elle May edition, I was quite disappointed that they have not included their 'Elle Inspire' section this month, as I think it is a really nice feature to have in a magazine, which people buy to be inspired. 

But you know maybe it will come back in next months issue. 

 I'm off to my boyfriends house tonight, to go out for the evening with his friends. Which will be a nice way to end the week. 

How has everyone's weeks been?

On another note, I'm getting my hair cut on Tuesday and could do with some advice. I have no idea what I should do with my hair, what do you reckon? 

It would be really helpful :)

The forest of talking trees, they used to sing about the birds and the bees

I finally gave in and bought a black fedora, yay! I've wanted one for ages, since I saw Of Monsters and Men at Reading festival! (hence the title of the post) The lead girl singer Nanna, was wearing one whilst playing their set, and I just fell in love with the look. 

However I couldn't find one anywhere, until I had a look on Topshop's website in early March to find one! It made my March Topshop wish list, and I finally bought it on Wednesday! 

I held off buying it for a while because of the price, it's £25 which I think is a bit expensive for a hat, however I couldn't find one anywhere else that was cheaper, so after my boyfriend saying to me 'buy it, buy it' I did and I love it! 

Black Fedora - Topshop - £25

Wine Coloured Jumper - New Look -£14.99

Black skater skirt - Primark - £6

City Office Bag - Zara - £49.99

Boots - Topshop - £75 similar here

I decided to wear it today, with a simple outfit, of a wine coloured jumper I bought from New Look a little while ago, I still love it, as it is great to wear with jeans or tucked into a skirt. It is also keeping me warm in current weather situation! I do love dressing for winter/cold weather, as you can probably tell by now, but I do want to change my tights for a lighter denier and even wear some of my maxi skirts, that would be lovely. But I think I would freeze at the moment! 

The skirt I love, it is my little bargain from Primark, it was £6 which is a perfect price for a simple black skater skirt which goes with everything in my wardrobe! As well as this it hides my 'un-gymed' body, I haven't been in a few months now, I really need to start going again! 

I am also wearing my new necklace from Urban Outfitters, which I bought in the sale for £6.40 (20% student discount), it was previously £18, and I personally wouldn't spend £18 on it so glad I got it for a lot cheaper! I love it, it goes with so much in my wardrobe, I'm really loving the 'dirty gold' tone of jewellery at the moment. 

I'm also showing off my brand new bag from Zara! I love this bag, but I feel terrible at the same time, because of the recent news about Zara's factories and the alleged slave labour, that has been circling the news the last few days. 

It's a very grey area at the moment, but I still love the bag, because it's exactly what I need seeing as I have to fit my laptop in there as well as all my usual handbag things. (Que people shouting at me for liking this bag, it doesn't mean I agree with the companies way of doing things!)

Hope you're all having good Friday's? So close to the weekend!
