hello! i apologise for the lateness of this post! This was my OOTD for the 21st of December. It's strangely warm in the UK for December! I'm wearing my devore tunic from Zara! It's a bit different to my usual 'style' but I love it! The pattern is kind of Art Deco, with polka dots and a floral pattern at the bottom. I paired it with my cable cardigan and ankle boots. I've been falling behind on my 12 days challenge so I'll be trying to catch up over the next few days! thanks for reading! xxx

paisley

hello! here's day number 2 of my 12 days of christmas challenge. Today I'm wearing my trusted topshop studded loafers and aa disco pants with a cream cable jumper and a red paisley jacket. i picked up the jacket in a vintage shop, a bargain at £5! I think the red adds a festive touch! I added the fur stole from my topshop coat for extra warmth!

12 days of christmas

hello! i'm so excited at the moment, IT'S CHRIIIISTMAS in only 6 days! i'm waiting to break up for the holidays and watch movies (christmas is not christmas without 'the grinch', 'love actually' and 'the holiday'!)I've not posted in a while as I've been busy with college so I've set myself the task of '12 days of Christmas' outfit posts. I'm going to aim to do an outfit/blog post every day over the festive season! Today I'm wearing a cream beret from H&M with little pearls on it! It's so cute and cosy too. I paired it with my topshop grey tweed boyfriend coat and paisley leggings. I also brought out my Zara velvet pumps which aren't reallly that practical but I love them too much to stop wearing them, even if it is freezing! Thank you for reading! :)

autumn picks

Hello! It's now October, this year is going by so quickly! It's definitely autumn now. The thing I love most about A/W is the fashion! Knitwear and coats are appearing in the shops now. Here are some of my favourites!

1 . The Tartan Scarf I'd been looking for the perfect tartan scarf for the past two winters and finally found it in H&M the other day. It's quite long wide which is good for wrapping up! The red and black tartan pattern is quite versatile and adds a unique touch of colour to an outfit. £7.99, H&M 2. The oversized boyfriend coat/teddy boy coat

This coat is AMAZING! The oversized boyfriend style is really flattering and 'on-trend'. The faux fur collar is detachable so you can create different looks. The grey, white and black tweed pattern is also quite easy to match with different colours (particularly burgundy and dark green). 3. The Brocade Trouser

I've fallen in love with anything brocade this season! Both Zara and Asos have beautiful pairs of brocade trousers. I think they look great with a shirt, baggy knitted jumper and loafers for a smart, chic look.

4. The Wine Lipstick

I love dark lipsticks for Autumn and Winter. This Topshop one is definitely one I'll be trying this season! I also love Rimmel Starry Eyed, but it always seems to sell out in my local Boots! 5. The 'Slipper' shoe

I think these shoes would look great with Brocade trousers for a beautiful luxe look. I found these on ebay and they're available on Amazon too. I also love the oriental slippers from Office, now in the sale at £28!

Hello! Apologies for the lack of posting, I've been busy on my final Summer School of this year! Now I'm just trying to get everything sorted for my last year of college (!) starting Friday.

I'm desperate to start dipping into A/W dressing but the weather is against me and it's suddenly become hot all of a sudden! In my latest outfit I'm wearing my favourite new blouse from Zara. The lace detail is so pretty! And, at £25.99, it's quite a reasonable price as I know I'll be wearing it a lot! I teamed it with my Levi shorts and my Office Norties boots. I'd been wanting them since last year and hoped they'd go into sale..they never did :( but office opened in my town a few days ago and I had to have them! Thanks for reading! xxx

There's no remedy for memory

Hello! Just a quick outfit post from yesterday. I picked up these floral print cropped trousers from Jack Wills. I've been looking for some printed trousers for a while and at £14, these were a bargain! I love the fit and the navy and grey floral print will take me through to A/W with a baggy jumper and boots! I paired them with my H&M crochet top which is so simple and gave the look a more relaxed feel. Thanks for reading! L xxx

london

Hello! The hot weather we're having at the moment is completely unexpected! I had assumed that the English summer had come to an end, but luckily the weather this week has been lovely! I was lucky enough to spend the last week in London. Usually I only visit London for the day as it's not too far to travel. Visiting each day for a week gave me the chance to get to know my favourite city a bit better! I visited the Globe, which was beautiful, and watched performances of Richard III and Henry V. At only £5 for a standing ticket, a visit to the Globe is a must! I loved exploring the South Bank; there was so much going on! The Olympics has been great for London and Britain as a whole I think; the atmosphere was amazing!

Another exciting part of my trip was the purchase of AA disco pants! I'd been looking for dupes for a while but decided to go for the real thing! Despite the pretty hefty price tag of £70, I am really pleased with them! It's too hot to wear them right now but I'm looking forward to using them in lots of outfits in the A/W months. My go-to summer outfit at the moment is the one in my latest LB look, http://lookbook.nu/look/3866820-studs-floral. I love the bright floral print and the dip hem shape of the dress. The floaty fabric is perfect for hot summer days! I teamed it with my Zara tan leather studded sandals. They were a sale bargain that I've worn nearly every day since I bought them! I bought this bag recently and although it's not particularly 'summery' the black with gold studs will take me through to the A/W season. Thanks for reading! L xxx
