OOTD | Faux fur coat





Fur coat - Vintage fair
Top - All Saints (old)
Leggings - Topshop (old)
Socks - Topshop
Boots* - Bank
Necklace - Ebay
Bag - Ted Baker

Sorry about the lack of posting at the moment, i'm almost into the last week of uni now before breaking up for the Christmas holidays yippee! Unfortunately every single deadline,exam and presentation is in the last week so my time is being devoted to that at the moment! But i am so excited to devote a lot more time to my blog over the Christmas period and i have lots of exciting posts planned for you, so thanks for sticking around!

Okay, so i promise this is the last in the series of 'faux fur' outfits now haha i also need to stop buying anymore items to do with fur. If you read my post on the vintage fair i went to about a month ago you will have known that i picked up this gorgeous coat for only £35 which is fab for a faux fur coat as they are usually priced around £80. Today was the first day i wore it as i feel i need the extra warmth from it now, i did get a few odd stares though so hopefully they were admiring it or either disgusted to think that i was wearing real fur as the fur on this coat does look really authentic, oh well let them stare haha!

I still love my crushed velvet leggings that i bought a while back and i teamed them with these cute frilly socks which i was obsessed with in the summer and bought far too many pairs!! I think it adds a cute extra bit of detail to this look but the fur coat does really do all the talking in this outfit!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like fur coats?

OOTD | Bank Fashion





Dress* - Bank
Boots* - Bank
Tights - Primark
Necklace - Primark

I am SO happy that it is Friday but i have so much university work that i will be spending the majority of the weekend doing it :( I'm so excited for Christmas now but then i realise how much i actually have to get finished before then, i better get a move on!

Anyway, onto this gorgeous outfit! Monochrome and Aztec in one dress is definitely a dream for me as they are my favourite colours and patterns together, this shift dress from Bank Fashion has such a nice loose fit and the texture of the fabric means that its quite warm. I've teamed it with my favourite neon summer necklace from Primark, it makes a bright pop of colour against the dark print. I have been after cut out boots since forever, and this pair of Zahara cut out boots from Bank really help to make the outfit and they are super comfy which is a great bonus! The heel is quite chunky but they are surprisingly easy to walk in which is perfect as i'm hopeless at wearing heels in the night let alone the day haha! I also wore my oversized boyfriend coat with this as its pretty chilly right now but where is all this snow that has been predicted?! This dress would also look amazing as a night time outfit with heels and some sparkly accessories!

Bank are one of my favourite stores to shop at and its even better that they offer 10% for all students and they also have some good sales on at the moment! They also have some gorgeous sequinned party outfits in store at the moment which i have my eye on for christmas!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you like monochrome and aztec print?

OOTD Tartan





Aran Jumper - Jack Wills(old)// Jeans - Topshop// Scarf - Primark// T Bar cut out boots - Primark

Since coming back from holiday i cant believe how much colder the weather has become, my knit jumpers have officially all made a reappearance! My feet are featuring my new cut out boots that i recently got from Primark for only £12!! I was so pleased when i found these as i have been looking for cut out boots forever and similar ones to these from Topshop were too pricey for me. These are perfect for day wear as they are flat and i think i really struggle wearing heels throughout the day. I also picked this tartan scarf up from Primark recently which is a brilliant addition to my A/W wardrobe, its great because its a simple accessory which can brighten up a plain outfit and tartan is my favourite trend for this season!

I am also still loving Aran knitted jumpers,i don't think they really ever go out of fashion and this one was from Jack Wills a couple of years ago and it is still my favourite as i love the big brown buttons and the chunky knit of it,it was an expensive buy but considering 2 years later i am still wearing it it was worth the investment!

What do you think of my outfit? Do you like the tartan trend?

21st Birthday Wishlist


Eeek it's my 21st is at the end of this month,i'm sooo excited but i literally had no idea what i wanted. So compiling a wishlist helped and i have picked out a few things that have really caught my eye so if my family or boyfriend are reading this... take note! 

I got my first tangle teezer on my last birthday and its been my best mate ever since,i wonder how i ever tamed my hair before this. They have now released the aqua splash TT which is a lot bigger and is a lot more appropriate for my long hair than the travel size one i have,it is also specifically made for use on wet hair, i do a lot of swim training so this is perfect for me and naturally i want the pink one.

I have never used a brush for my foundation before. From hearing lots of talk about this face brush in the beauty community i think its time to be converted from using my fingers. Along the beauty side of things I've also ran out of my favourite mac nude lipstick - shy girl ,so i quite fancy trying a new one out and Hue looks gorgeous on the swatches i have seen.

Cut out boots are definitely on my list for the upcoming A/W trends. Black ones seem to be everywhere so i fancy being a bit different and i found these white/black ones from Bank they are only £32,so cheaper than the Topshop ones and they look like a dream! The hologram bag i have just fallen in love with,its from New look and its not overly priced,i need this clutch desperately!

Lastly i need a new camera for blogging! I have been using the exact same one this summer as the one above but its my Mums, and the pictures come out so well considering its not a DSLR. I love the quality of pictures on those type of cameras but its too big for me and i would never take it on holiday as they are such a nuisance to carry. This digital camera is the next best thing,its small and at 16.1 mp its pretty good!

I hope you liked my wishlist what do you think of my picks? Do you have any of these?
