fluffy coat / OOTD

jacket - primark/jumper - zara/jeans - topshop/bag - newlook/boots - primark

My first OOTD with my new tripod, I had to wait a while because of the typical british weather! Just a casual college outfit featuring my fluffy coat from primark, this is my favourite item of clothing I've brought so far this autumn winter. It was only £22.50 and I love it! Primark are the best aren't they? Im also wearing topshops coated joni jeans which look like leather trouser but are as comfy as leggings. I wear these on casual days like today or I even dress them up with heels and a nice cami to go out in.

My photos are also looking blurry and contrasty and I don't know why, they look fine on my camera and laptop but when I upload them into a post they change. Is there something I can do to stop this from happening, if anyone can help me I would appreciate it lots!

style icon: Alexa Chung

images from google and tumblr

A huge happy birthday to fav gal Alexa Chung! This woman has been my style icon for years and I love every outfit she's ever worn (maybe not everyone but at least 98% of them). To celebrate her birthday heres just a few of my favourite outfits she worn. From red carpet looks to her casual street style I think she looks amazing all the time, can you tell I love her? Let me know what you think her best looks are?

autumn/winter inspiration

all images from tumblr

As the autumn months roll in its a chance for us all to ditch the demin cut offs and floral dresses and to grab our oversized coats and jeans. Chunky black boots and layering are the key to surviving the british winter and as the colder days (and nights) start rolling in theres something familiar about wearing multiple layers and thermal socks with your boots. 

When the seasons change I have the urge to go shopping to buy a whole new wardrobe, as last years bobbly knitted jumpers just aren't good enough, but with the amount of choice online and in shops I have no idea what to buy. Being a poor college student who has to pay a ridiculous amount of train fare each month I simply can't afford to spend hundreds on items I probably don't need. With my saved items list on asos going into the thousands I need to slap myself on the hand and just buy what I actually need, like a coat so I don't freeze to death...

I love getting inspiration from tumblr and instagram on what Id love to be wearing and I'm sure everybody else does too. Heres just a few images Ive found that are inspiring me this week...
