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?

Wishlist #3

1.Topshop - £38
2.Boohoo - £10
3.River Island - £150
4.Missguided - Pink faux feather coat £59.99
5.Choies - $130.99
6. Topshop - Vinyl skirt £32
7.Asos - £38
8.River Island - £40

I am literally obsessed with everything in Topshop right now. Every time i go in there i want everything so i end up leaving with nothing! I thought i would have a little browse online at some other shops though to see what was around and its safe to say that window shopping is not good as it just makes me constantly think about the item until i get my hands on it! 

This neon green furry jumper from Topshop is so gorgeous, its not so lurid in the flesh i promise but i saw this last week and honestly haven't stopped thinking about it since i left,i really need to get a life haha! Its so soft and furry and would look great over the top of a white shirt.A few weeks ago when the PVC,vinyl clothing came out in the shops i thought it was hideous and would never wear it and now here i am needing this vinyl mini skirt from topshop,it would contrast so well with most textures and its definitely going to be purchased soon!

I have seen these leggings everywhere and really need to get a pair,and think they look so good with oversized tees and they are so cheap too!

River island is a place i really don't buy much from but they have some great stuff at the moment. I am in dire need of a mongolian fur handbag but they also come with a hefty price tag, and i definitely wont be able to afford this one. I think its just a matter of waiting on Ebay for the right one to come along. I also love love these holographic brogues. I also have a clutch bag like this and am obsessed with the different colours of it, they would definitely catch eyes if you were to wear them!

This pink faux feather coat is stunning,it looks so delicate and the baby pink colour would compliment most dark colours, i would wear this for an evening outfit i think as its quite out stated for daytime wear.

These sandal heels from choies are so cute, they remind me of dress up princess slippers i had when i was younger! I haven't purchased from this website before but they are quite costly even in dollars so i might have to find an equivalent pair elsewhere.

Lastly is this smock dress from the petite range of asos,i love the plaid look at the moment and smock dresses are soo comfortbale and would look good as a casual look with ripped jeans or dressed up with tights and nice boots.

What do you think of my picks? Do you own any of these? What are you currently lusting after?

OOTD | Tartan shorts





Shorts - Hollister (old)
Top - Urban Outfitters
Cradigan - Jack Wills (old)
Necklace - Ebay
Tights - Primark
Belt - Primark
Shoes - Primark
Bag - Ted Baker

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend, shame about this awful weather at the moment though! Trying to take decent outfit pictures yesterday was such a task, it was raining and the wind was crazy!! I had about 20 outtakes on a long length picture because my hair kept blowing and my cardigan was practically flying away, the wind definitely won this time, but i think the few pictures i did get are okay!

This outfit was also far too cold for yesterday but its all in vain for fashion!! I bet you're all thinking not tartan again?! But i seriously love the trend this winter, i bought these shorts two years ago from Hollister and they were definitely worth the investment because tartan never really seems to go away. The Jack Wills cardigan is also about 3 years old but i love how chunky the knit is, i have seen loads similar to these in the shops though for a much cheaper price!

Yes, i definitely am wearing these Primark shoes again, i promise i do have other shoes too haha! They are just the most versatile shoes and are so light to walk in, i wish they sold them in other colours too!

What do you think of this outfit? How are you spending this stormy weekend?

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?

Tartan on trend







Tartan skirt - Abercrombie//Black bodysuit - Asos//Rucksack - Topshop// Socks - Jack Wills// Boots - Kurt Geiger

Its no secret that i love shopping in Abercombie,i just love the whole experience including the badly lit shop,awfully loud music,dancing employees and ridiculously overpriced clothing, yet i still return! Hopefully i will grow out of this phase soon. Anyway, i picked this tartan skirt up in New York last year and i'm hoping to get some more wear out of it this year now that Tartan is really making a come back. I paired it with a really simple racer back bodysuit from Asos which i love as its a fail safe with most outfits! I finally decided on a rucksack for going back to uni and i picked up this acid wash bag in Topshop yesterday for £30 i love this look at the moment,probably no good for when it rains though oops!

Lastly for my feet i'm wearing my trusty kurt geiger boots which i bought a few years ago and they have been a real investment as i have worn them to death, i'm also wearing wool knee high socks from jack wills which i got a few years ago and were a waste of money, since then i've bought plenty more from Primark for a fraction of the price!

I hope you enjoyed reading my outfit post and you are all having a lovely weekend, what do you think?

Hair scrunchies!

Can you believe that the hair scrunchies we wore to school in the 90's are now back in fashion?! Amazing. I was always lucky when i was younger as my mum used to make my sister and i hair scrunchies that no one else ever had,there was certainly hair scrunchie envy in the playground.

I was in River island the other day and spotted such a cute tartan scrunchie but i really didn't want to part with £4 pounds for what is essentially a small piece of fabric,luckily enough i had some spare tartan material at home and i followed a pattern that i found on the internet from here. If you have the correct equipment and materials its really easy to do!

Hope you enjoyed reading my post and i will be trying to get some posts up more regularly! Please feel free to comment below i love hearing from everyone :)
