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?

#southwestbloggersmeet

On Saturday i was lucky enough to attend my first bloggers event which was the #southwestbloggersmeet which was held in Exeter. Firstly, i want to thank Liza Prideaux of glambeautys and Kerry Dyer of livedwithlove for organising this event and for all of the hard work that they put into it. It clearly showed and everyone really did have such a great time so thank you!

As it was my first event i didn't really know what to expect and was somewhat nervous yet excited at the prospect of it! But i had the best time, It was so nice to finally meet some of the bloggers who write the blogs that i love and lovely to chat with like minded people that share the same interests  everyone i met was so lovely and my nerves quickly subsided! As well as lots of chit chat with all the lovely bloggers there was also a Lush stall showcasing some of their fab Christmas products and letting you try out some of them for yourself. Pearlys Ltd were also there which is a provider of at home and in clinic teeth whitening in the UK. I hadn't actually heard of this brand before and i was so impressed with their products, there will be more information on them on the blog soon!

There were also lots of gorgeous raffle prizes including enrapture curlers,a beautiful prom dress, hair care products nail varnishes and more! I was lucky enough to win a body spray and a blue hair spray which i cant wait to try out haha! As well as that we were given the most generous and best goody bag i have ever seen which you can see for yourself below in my pictures!

Here are some pictures from the event which show in more detail what we got up to!

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?
