OOTD | Sequins



Sequin-jumper-topshop


Jumper - Topshop (sale)
Disco Pants - American Apparel
Shoes - Primark
Necklace - New Look

Happy hump day! I'm so glad we are half way through the week, i'm tired of this first week back at uni already! Anyway, despite my disappointment with the sales this year this sequinned jumper from Topshop is probably my best find! It was originally £42 but i bagged it for only £15!! I love all of the sequin items of clothing that Topshop sell but they always come with a hefty price tag so it was inevitable that i was going to take this home!

What i love about this cropped jumper is that you can wear it casually in the day with jeans and also in the evening with a bodycon skirt or disco pants like this! I'm also excited to wear this in the summer with some white skinny jeans! I also found these beautiful Mary Jane shoes from Primark of all places,it must be their spring stock already but the colour matches perfectly with this jumper and they were only £8, i can see myself getting so much wear out of them like my black ones that i also have from Primark!

I hope that you are all having a good week and thanks for reading! What do you think of this outfit? What have your best sale finds been?

OOTN | Back to black






Top - Primark
Skirt - Topshop
Shoes - Kurt Geiger
Watch - Michael Kors

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend! I always think there's such a big gap between Christmas day and New Years eve and that there isnt too much to do at all apart from eat the leftover foods! Last night was one of my friends 21st so it was a great chance to catch up with my old school friends that i have not seen in about 2 years so i had a really good night despite the horrible rainy and windy weather! I thought i would share with you what i wore on the night, i apologise about the background of these pictures,outside outfit pictures are not happening at the moment, living in the South West and by the sea means that it has rained most days since being home boo! 

Anyway despite how rubbish i think the sales are this year i spotted this gorgeous net cut out velvet long sleeve top for £3 in the sale in primark which is insanely cheap and even at its full price of £6, it would look great in the day as well with high waisted jeans or a casual skirt! I thought i would treat myself to something for the night in my favourite shop, this skirt is really deceiving as it looks like it would be really hard to the touch but its actually surprisingly fluffy, i love it so much and i can see myself wearing this a lot this year as it will go with so many tops i already have!

What do you think of this outfit? What sale finds have you found? What are your plans for NYE?

OOTD | Fluffy Jumper





Fluffy Jumper - Topshop
Shirt - Stradivarius
Jeans - Topshop
Necklace - New look
Boots* - Bank
Watch - Michael Kors

Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely weekend what are you up to? I've attempted to do some more Christmas shopping this morning but i cant stand how busy everywhere is! But i did treat myself in boots as i have saved up my points for ages so i got an Origins drink me up intensive mask which i have wanted to try for so long. A review will be coming up as soon as I've had a try!

After months of searching for the perfect fluffy jumper in shops and online i have finally got one! I hadn't actually seen this mint colour one in Topshop before,as soon as i saw it i knew it was what i had been after! For £38 it is quiet expensive as i know Missguided sell them for around £20 and Primark's are £10 but the colours are so much brighter and you can really tell that the quality of the material is a lot better than Primark's. As much as i love shopping in Primark not everything is of a high quality!

 This has instantly become my favourite piece of clothing, i love how bright it is and the softness and fluffiness of it is insane, it feels like i'm wearing a glove! I also purchased this necklace yesterday, i love how low it hangs and the coloured jewels match perfectly with the jumper, it was only £6 from New Look too which was such a bargain!

What do you think of this outfit? Do you own a fluffy jumper? Where are your favourite jumpers from?

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?

OOTD | Fur Collar





Fur collar - Topshop
Coat - Zara
Jumper - Topshop
Dress - Topshop
Necklace - Miss Selfridge
Tights - Primark
Shoes - Converse

Its no secret that i am obsessed with furry things,always have been, always will! After i purchased my oversized Zara coat i knew that something was missing, i have been on the look out for a faux fur collar for a while but i think a lot of them look a bit tacky?! I also had a look at the vintage fair i recently went to but they were real fur ones and on the ends were their heads and feet,so freaky! Safe to say i didn't purchase any of them! I picked this one up from Topshop for £25, luckily i had a £10 voucher to use because i'm not sure i would have paid this much for what is essentially a very furry scarf! Its sooo warm though and i love the different shades to the fur. Black ones are much easier to find though and there is so many in the shops at the moment. River Island also have some lovely ones for around about the same price!

What do you think of this outfit? Are you loving fur items of clothing this winter?

OOTD | Geek Chic






Jumper - Topshop (old)
Blouse - Hollister
Jeans - Abercrombie
Necklace - BikBok
Shoes - Ugg
Rucksack - Topshop
Glasses - Karen Millen

I hope you are all having a good week,its nearly the weekend yey!! As always i have been busy with uni work but had some time to get some outfit pictures,i think this outfit is really preppy and college like! Just to point out i do actually need glasses and these aren't just a fashion accessory haha!

I love this jumper and also lived in it last winter, baggy jumpers are so cosy and go with all skinny jeans,leggings, bodycon skirts etc,they're so versatile! I layered this with an embellished blouse and my favourite necklace which is from BikBok,it is definitely my favourite shop in scandinavian countries! If you look closely you can see one of the gems has fallen out though,it makes me so sad when that happens to your favourite jewellery,but its not going to stop me from wearing it!

These are my favourite jeans of all time!! I barely wear jeans these days but i love the colour wash of the denim and the rips in the fabric. 

Thanks for reading! What do you think of this outfit? Do you love baggy jumpers too?

OOTD| Thermals





Thermal top - Damart*
Leggings - Topshop
Shoes - Primark
Necklace - Miss Selfridge
Scarf - Primark
Coat - Zara
Bag - Ted Baker

The cold weather really is approaching fast now considering its the start of November so i think its fair to say its set to get a lot colder in the next few months. Personally for me thermals have always been a thing that i associate with the older generation or for colder climates. But I must agree whilst i lived in Finland last year i religiously had to wear thermals because it just wasn't possible to go outside in -30 degrees without them. Damart was always the brand that i used for my thermals whether it was long johns or long sleeved tops. Not only were they life savers they are soo comfy that i still wear them for pyjamas now in the winter months as they are so warm and cosy! I don't know how i ever went without thermals!

But like i said before thermals don't have to be boring either and they can be incorporated into your outfit without looking out of place and they really do keep you so warm! I'm wearing the little hearts long sleeved thermal top and it really doesn't look out of place with my outfit,i wanted to show you what it looks like but i would normally probably wear a jumper over the top of this to really keep the warmth in. There are so many different styles of thermal tops though that something will suit everyone's tastes and needs. With winters that are expected to be colder than the ones before investing in thermal wear really is an essential unless you want to freeze! Comfort and warmth can still be fashionable! They can be incorporated into your outfit,worn on winter holidays or as pjs so you do feel like you get your moneys worth!

I also love my aztec print leggings that i'm wearing , the monochrome colours really clash with the tartan scarf which brings out the colours in both of the prints,it also goes well with the thermal top, and as i said before i would normally wear this with a big baggy jumper over the top!

Damart's thermal range is also celebrating a 60th year of production!

Thank you for reading! Do you wear thermals? How do you make sure you are wrapped up warm in the winter?

OOTD 'Black & Gold'








Faux leather jacket - Bershka (old)
Cropped long sleeve top - Urban Outfitters
Skirt - Topshop (old)
Tights - Primark
Boots - Ruby Rocks
Necklace - Topshop
Rucksack - Topshop

Happy Friday!! I'm sure i am not the only one who is looking forward to this weekend,i know i say this all the time but time is literally flying by at the moment which is quite scary as it means i will be facing never ending uni work soon *sob*.

Anyway,i love this look that i wore yesterday,its smart yet the biker jacket makes it look a bit more casual. I have had this skirt for 2 years and i have literally only worn it once and i have recently rekindled my love for it, the texture of it is stunning,its not velvet but it feels soft one way and rough the other,i guess the material would be referred to as crushed or piled, anyway i think its beautiful and really stands out against the black clothing. As its high waisted it goes perfectly with my new cropped long sleeve top and the contrasting ribbed texture really compliments the skirt.

The necklace is also one of my new favs from topshop,which i got for £9 with student discount. I am on the look out for some more statement necklaces for winter though as i constantly seem to be re wearing the same ones! 

I hope you all have a lovely relaxing weekend :)!What do you think about this outfit? Do you know of any nice statement necklaces around?
