OOTD | Tartan Trousers

Top - Urban Outfitters Tartan trousers - Motel Rocks Fur collar - Topshop Necklace - Ebay Boots* - Bank I hope you're all having a lovely relaxing weekend before Christmas! If its anything like mine then it wont be, i have frantically been round the shops this morning in a bid to finish my Christmas shopping and i have finally finished! I really am not leaving it so last minute next year, there are far too many people around for my liking!
Anyway a couple of weeks ago i was lucky enough to win Crystalcosmicchic giveaway of anything up to the value of £70 from Motel Rocks. I had been having a rubbish weekend and i really couldn't believe it when i found out i won as i never win anything! I love Motel Rocks so much so of course i had a few ideas in my head of what i would like and as you can see i picked out these amazing tartan trousers and a dress which will be gracing an outfit post very soon!
This type of tartan isn't the typical red you get and its very much in your face so it looks great with this simple black cropped long sleeve top and i just had to bring in my fur collar again which i'm still very much in love with!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you like tartan? Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?

OOTD | 70's Sheepskin

Coat - Vintage Blouse - Hollister Skirt - Urban Outfitters Tights - Primark Necklace - New Look Boots - Next (old)
Well how lucky am i?! I managed to get these outfit pictures this morning 5 minutes before the rain started,what a relief! This weather really is playing havoc with getting decent outfit photos at the moment, how do you all manage to get yours?I need some tips!
This coat was passed down to me by my Mum and it is amazing! It is a sheepskin coat from the 70's and coats really aren't made to such good quality nowadays as this. Its crazy to think how old an item of clothing can be and without sounding mad what memories come with the coat, for a start its seen many different winters and different owners, but now i have it in my possession i'm not letting it go! Its so warm and different to the conventional fur coats, i actually haven't seen any like this in mainstream stores this season.
I'm finally wearing a different pair of shoes in an outfit post, hallelujah i hear you cry! These boots are actually quite old but i love the length and fit of them, i think they were pretty cheap at the time too. I'm definitely after a new pair though when all the sales hit on Boxing day, who else cant wait for the sales?!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you like vintage clothes? How do you cope with taking outfit pictures in the winter?

Just to let you all know that the blog made the exciting transition over to sleek-chic.co.uk this weekend! I think it was the right time to make the move as i have been blogging for almost 5 months now and i wanted it done in time for the new year!
Anyway onto today's outfit! The gorgeous bracelet that i'm wearing is from the lovely blogger Jay Chapman who has recently launched a new online shop called Birdy accessories which stocks various pieces of jewellery and some stunning phone covers. This cuff bracelet is available in gold online which is another versatile colour like silver and really does go with most outfits and colours! I love the little chain on the bracelet too and it goes perfectly with this outfit! 
I picked this dress up in Primark on the weekend for £13!!! I love finding gems like this in primark and the quality of it is fab. The velvet pattern looks so nice against the grey and the fit of it is so flattering. I think most people will be surprised that this is from Primark!
Thanks for reading and please go and check out Birdy accessories there are some gorgeous pieces online! What do you think of this outfit? Do you like the bracelet? What kind of jewellery do you like to wear?

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 | Faux fur waistcoat

Fur Gilet - Bershka (old) Top -Primark Skirt -Topshop Tights - Primark Necklace - Miss Selfridge (old) Boots* - Bank Happy Weekend to you all! I hope you are having relaxing weekend and you are excited to start your advent calendars tomorrow! I have just opted for the traditional chocolate one this year,the beauty calendars really do appeal to me and i think they are an amazing idea but i just cant justify the price for items that i probably wont use! Maybe another year though, what advent calendars have all of you got?!
I have always been a fan of patterned tights and they can really jazz up and make any outfit look a bit different! I got these from Primark a while ago for a mere £1.50! I love Primark's wide selection of hosiery but if i was opting for a more expensive make it would definitely be Pretty Polly or Calzedonia and they are probably a lot better quality as i find these unfortunately ladder after a few wears.
It wouldn't be one of my favourite outfits without a bit of fur thrown in there haha! This fur gilet is seriously old now but they never really go out of fashion and they are a great for adding an extra bit of warmth to an outfit!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you like patterned tights? What advent calendars are you all going to be opening tomorrow?

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 | Christmas Jumper

Jumper - Primark Jeans - Abercrombie Scarf - Primark Shoes - Converse Mitts - Hand knitted by my mummy!
Seeing as its almost December and the weather is getting pretty chilly i thought it was about time i pull the chistmas jumpers out which by the way is my favourite item of clothing to match my favourite time of the year,who doesnt love christmas?! In true Primark style they have piles and piles of the novelty jumpers this year, i picked this one out for my birthday which i love because it doesn't scream out Christmas to you and it can be worn at anytime time in the cold months and not just for the festive period. The jumper makes a nice casual outfit and the penguin on the front is so fluffy and cute! When its cold weather the last thing i feel like doing is dressing up in cold outfits and heels, this is definitely more my style at this time of the year!
I also had to show you these gorgeous mitts that my mum knitted for me, how amazing are they?! The Norwegian pattern is so intricate and i really cant get my head round how you do it as I've tried to learn how to knit so many times and have only ever mastered the basic stitch! My mum has also knitted me socks,cardigans and phone cases in the past and now she is even making Christmas decorations which are just the cutest,she really is very talented! I will be sure to feature them in a blog post soon!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you like Christmas jumpers? Can you knit?

OOTD | Fur Hat

  Turtle neck sweater - Primark Shorts - Topshop Necklace - Ebay Tights - Primark Shoes - Primark Fur hat - Flea market in Finland

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! I am visiting home this weekend and i am loving being back,its nice to have a few chill out days with all the university work i have had recently as well as home comforts such as a bath! 2 months without baths and lush bath bombs is too long! Im also off to the south west bloggers meet today! Its my first event so I'm super excited/nervous at the same time, there will definitely be a blog post up on it later this week!

Running with the fur theme this week is this gorgeous mink fur hat that i picked up from a flea market in Finland for 10 euros,its very old but in such good condition. I don't usually like real fur but in Finland it was something that most people wore as you really need something that you know will keep you warm! Its definitely got SO cold here recently so its very appropriate to wear again!

I picked up my first turtle neck sweater from primark last week and i love it! They are all now in the sale for only £3 so i think I'm going to have to go back and purchase it in more colours!

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