Outfit Of The Day- The Doc's Are Out

Coat- Zara

Scarf- H&M

Necklace- H&M

Jumper- Topshop

Jeans- River Island

And Doc Martens <3

So yes, in case you hadn't seen it splattered all over Blogger and Twitter, it snowed in the UK. And while I shudder at the idea of tramping through snow and ice, I am slightly happy that it is the perfect reason for me to dig out my Doc Martens. I've had them for yeaaaarrs and I don't wear them nearly as half as much as I ought to. So when the boy wanted to go for a walk as a revision break, I jumped at the chance.

Both the jumper and the jeans are new additions to my wardrobe recently. I had to return an item to Topshop- I hadn't worn it and tbh it was likely that I wouldn't ever, especially outside of the festive season. So I decided to exchange it for something I would be a lot more likely to wear and this jumper was the answer. I'm very 'meh' with a lot of the stuff in the shops at the moment but the stunning colour of this jumper made it stand out and despite circling Topshop for quite some time, this was the one thing I came back to. It's a very bright cobalt blue and I absolutely love it.

The jeans on the other hand are more or less because I really wanted some boyfriend jeans. I had had my eye on these from River Island for quite a while because I love the distressed rips in them. The only drawback is that I have to be careful when putting them on or else you end up putting your foot through it all.  I love how casual they are and I really want to pair these with heels and a t-shirt, come summer.

The next thing I'm after is a pair of really nice tailored peg leg trousers and I was just about to buy a pair when the boy pointed out that I might as well wait a while as I'm on a massive weight loss kick atm and there's no point buying them if I go down a size. So I didn't buy them but I thought it demonstrated that I'm really commited to losing weight. My first goal deadline is the middle of March when we go to Barcelona and I've lost 4lbs so far so it's pretty encouraging.

Anyway, I hope you life this outfit

Keep well

Merry Christmas and Sales Bargains

Heels- Zara Sale

Heels- New Look Sale

Blazer- River Island Sale

Dress- Zara Sale

Origins- Night-A- Mins

Hello! Hope you all had a good Christmas with lots of nice things!

Christmas isn't really a big affair in my house- minimal decorations or fuss and we don't go all out for presents as we'd all rather hit the sales/keep it to a smaller budget. So I thought I'd show you what I've snapped up so far. A few bargains but nothing insane. I'm particularly pleased with the two pairs of heels- both pairs that I had had my eye on prior to the sales and luckily were reduced. I got a pair of Superdry trackies actually for Christmas and they are so soft and warm! Perfect for when I'm trudging to the gym/ really cannot be bothered for an early start at uni.

But the real bargain that I got has yet to come. I did an order with Urban Outfitters- 4 items all in the sale. If I had bought them all at full price, they would have come in at just over £140. In the sale- around £83. I then managed to get student discount and free delivery on top of that so the total came to just over £70! Bargain! Including a new pair of black jeans. So I'm really chuffed for that but I'm just patiently waiting for the dispatch notice. I go back to university on the 5th and I ordered it to my home address so I'm hoping it gets here on time!

Apart from that, I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed with how much work I have to do still including 3 deadlines in the first week and then 2 exams and an essay in the two weeks after that. Slightly stressed but it because my timetable is reduced, hopefully I'll motivate myself to get to the library most days and power through the revision!

So I hope you are all keeping well and warm

And have a fabulous New Year

Outfit Of The Day feat Checkered Shirt Dress

Dress- River Island

Jacket- ASOS

Hat- H&M

Well I've finally moved into my second year uni house. It was a long summer but I was glad to flee the nest again.Trying to squeeze my wardrobe into a suitcase was defiantely a hard task. I eventually gave up and put a lot of into bin bags.... I quite like my new room. It's much much bigger than a standard halls room and I have a chest of drawers which is the perfect height for me to put my camera on top of. Minus feet but I just paired this outfit with my new ASOS boots that I've been wearing non stop.

The dress was from the Chelsea Girl concession in River Island and I picked it up for a steal because at the moment if you by the most recent Company magazine, there's an offer for 20% for students. And that was just inviting me to spend money! I've picked up quite a few pieces recently- Primark men's has been serving me well and now I'm back at uni, I'll be doing more OOTD's. And I still have a week to go until lectures and so on start again but I'm looking forward to getting back into a routine again.

Have a good day guys :)

A/W 12 Jackets

Zara Blazer

Topshop Leather Jacket

River Island Cable Blazer

I can't make up my mind! I always said to myself that at the end of working the whole summer, that I would buy myself a leather jacket as a treat to myself and as a wardrobe essential in the long term. But with all the new season items flooding into the shops, I couldn't help but notice all the gorgeous new jackets around me including a divine Zara blazer with studs on the shoulders and River Island one which just looks super comfy but unfortunately the picture doesn't do its texture much justice.

Oh toooo many things I want! Isn't this always the case aha?

Hauling

Collection 2000 Collection

Eco Brushes Concealer Brush

Zara Bag

Topshop Peplum Top

Topshop T-Shirt

Topshop Bandage Skirt

River Island Ruched Maxi Skirt

As promised these are the things I picked up on my little shopping trip. I want more cosy jumpers and cardigans in the shops now but I'm looking forward to styling all of these particularly the maxi skirt which is the perfect winter colour. I love the ruching and it has a split to the tight but with a pair of wooly tights and boots, it'll be perfect.

I'm also really happy with the peplum top. I wasn't sure it would suit my figure and when I tried it on, I wasn't sure but I then found it the Tall section and it fit like a glove! Chuffed. Also pleased with the bag, was really cheap at £20. I'm really picky with bags- they have to be just right and ideally big enough to fit an A4 notebook in so I can use it at uni. I might get a few more holes punched into the strap so I can lengthen it a bit. Most shoe repair places will do it for free.

Anyway, I hope you guys like.

Look out for them appearing in OOTD's soon.

OOTD- Rain Rain Go Away

Blazer- Forever 21

Blouse- River Island

Top- H&M

Skirt- Forever 21

Well to absolutely no ones surprise the weather here in England is absolute rubbish. Today alone it's rained, been sunny and hailed. Typical, aye? Hence, inside pictures from my rubbish badly lit uni room which has made me look orange?! I just noticed that...

I desperately want some nice weather to come our way but that doesn't appear to be likely. I bought a few things Zara (who, may I add, are bang on trend with just about everything. Amazing stuff seriously) but I want to wait for some good weather before debuting them in OOTD's.

The blouse is last season from River Island and it's been a wardrobe staple for me for ages. The blazer is also a little unintentionally too big. I ordered it and it was a bit too big but I would rather style it as oversized than go through the convoluted hassle of returning thing- one of my biggest hates about internet shopping.

Hope you guys like!

Thank You So Much River Island Sale- My New Baby

Thank you so so much River Island sale.

I have been lusting after this bag for so long and have resisted, but what do I spy right at the bottom of a sale rack? This baby just sitting there, with £20 knocked off it. WIN. Even luckier was the fact that the other two were broken and this was the only one in tact.

I don't mind that it's missing a few of the studs and I'm going to punch a hole in strap as it's a little too long for my liking. Unfortunately, it's too small to fit my uni work into it but I'll damn well find a way

Easily my best sale find so far

Chuffed nuggets

What have been your best sale finds?
