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? 

Plain Jane

coat - h&m / jeans - topshop / tshirt - primark

Just a quick plain outfit that I wore to work the other day. I'm not someone who plans what im going to wear the next day at night so when im running late ill just chuck on my basic's and run out the door. Hopefully in the next few weeks I should be getting a tripod for better outfit posts but for the time being (as I keep spending my money on food) it'll have to wait.

I'm back and dressed all in black

coat - topshop / jumper - topshop(sale) / jeans - topshop / boots - newlook / headband - topshop

Firstly, I have to apologise for not posting for over half a year. I can list hundreds of excuses but it doesn't matter now because I am back, finally! I've got a new camera, and will be getting a tripod soon so expect better outfit posts in the future. All I want now is for it to stop raining every single day so I can take photos outside. I really dislike winter, I'm already very very excited for spring and summer. Anyway, I promise to start posting at least twice a week from now on, so be ready for more posts yay!

dungaree's

shirt & jumper ~ newlook / dungarees ~ Internationale

I must say this every time I post but sorry for being a rubbish blogger lately I've been so busy with sixth form, there's so much work to do and now I have to start revising for my exams. Anyway here's just a quick outfit showing you the dungarees I brought today, they were a bargain of £16 and even though they're not perfect I couldn't resist buying them. Sorry about the rubbish photo quality, its turned really cloudy outside! It was actually warm earlier and I just hope the weather stays warm and we don't suddenly have another snow storm next week. Who else is loving dungarees at the moment? 

monochrome

leggings topshop, dress newlook, top daisystreet

Who doesnt love monochrome? I defiantly think its one of the best trends right now, its so clean and classic anyone can pull it off. Heres just a few of my favorite picks, I actually own that top and I adore it, its a bargain as well. Also because GFC is being shut down, follow me on bloglovin!

black and denim ootd

jumper - missguided

denim shirt - missguided

jeans - topshop

Just a quick ootd that I wore to sixth form today, its nothing too fancy as its cold and snowy here in England so wrapping up warm in the most important thing, we've had about 8 inches of snow where I am! Over the top I chucked on my parka from newlook and my h&m tartan scarf. I honestly cant wait for the snow to go, its stopping me from going out anywhere and I hate walking to sixth form in it, I nearly fall over thousands of times. Hope you guys enjoyed it. 

H&M discount codes

Just thought I would be kind & share my h&m discount codes with you guys, I've just used them so they both work -you can use both at the same time:

1304 - £5 off when you spend £11 or more (works on sale items)

9910 - 25% off your most expensive item (does not work on sale items)

Tartan Tuesday

jeans ~ topshop

denim jacket ~ next

scarf ~ h&m

shirt ~ newlook

jumper ~ primark 

shoes ~ primark

I know in my last OOTD I was wearing nearly exactly the same but I couldn't resist showing you my new tartan scarf, I love it! I think everyone should have some tartan in their wardrobe.

I apologize for appearance  I have no makeup on & my hair was rather windswept because I took these photos as soon as I got back from sixth form, I also should be getting a new camera for Christmas so after that the quality will improve lots but until then these blurry photos will have to do! 

I've had my blog nearly a month now & I really love having one, I might only have a few followers but I just enjoy writing about things I love & just generally having something to do, I don't know when my next post will be but until then thanks guys:D

week in photos #1

me and my bestfriend for halloween / new dressing table / christmas next month woo / restoring my computer to factory settings / cosy fire / obsessed with nutella / casio watch and topshop bracelet / barry m nail varnish 

Its been a boring week but my highlight was dressing up as the 118 men with my bestfriend, I really suit a moustache & afro! My dad brought me the most beautiful dressing table ever which im in love with & its officially christmas next month, is anyone as excited as I am? My mum restored my computer to factory settings without telling me so I lost everything which brought a tear to my eye, Ive lost 4 years worth of photos & I cant find the memory stick which has some of the photos on them!:(

Its become freezing at night so I love getting cosy infront of the fire to keep me warm on these winter nights, Ive also re-discovered my love for nutella (if youve not tried it before go buy it please!) - Ive also been wearing my casio watch everyday  & painted my nail in ' barry m - colbalt blue ' which I love but wish was more vibrant!

Tuesday morning rush OOTD

parka ~ newlook

shirt ~ newlook

jumper ~ primark

jeans ~ topshop

bag ~ primark 

shoes ~ converse

It was back to sixth form for me today, & as usual on the first day back I was running late so I quickly chucked this outfit together, its freezing in the mornings walking so I need my trusty parka to keep me warm & my converse for comfort. I took this photo when I got back so the lighting is terrible (because winter is coming) & my hair is a mess (because I couldn't be bothered to do it) I hope you like it!

Winter Wishlist

leggings~river island

top~missguided

  coat~riverisland

shoes &necklace~ASOS

Heres a few of the things that are on my wishlist this winter, the disco pants are identical to the American Apparel ones but much cheaper! I really want a pair but cant afford to splash out on real ones.

The coat or 'coatigan' as its called on the website is just a fun jacket I would be able to just chuck on most days & still look like ive made an effort, river island are doing lots of these style of coats in loads of different patterns so go check them out.. theyre a bit pricey though, this one is £65 so when youre only get £10 a week then its just on the wishlist for the moment.

The boots from asos are a perfect flatform for the winter &im in love with them, Id do anything to be able to have them, better get saving up then! Also I love the cross necklace from there, its just simple but thats what makes me love it.

Kate Moss' lipsticks

I popped into boots earlier to check out Kate Mosses new matte lipstick collection & I ended up buying these two colours, a pale nude pink for everyday use & I was very brave & brought a plum deep red colour, even though I was brave to buy it will I be brave enough to wear it? These lipsticks cost £5.49 each &I'm sorry the swatches aren't the best, but I recommend you go check out the new collection, she also has a nice red colour which I might go back & buy! Let me know if you've brought any of her new collection or think I should be brave enough to wear the dark colour...

blue my mind

BLUE NAILS

This H&M nail varnish in 'Blue my mind' may chip very easily but just look at the colour! Its a bright blue that brighten ups any outfit your wearing, I especially love wearing all black & just having this pop of colour on my nails. Maybe if I invest with a brilliant top coat it may make the polish last longer, if you have any recommendations please let me know, also if you know any other bright blues that are available on the high street please comment below:)

Thanks guys xo

(Backpack £36)

Just been casually browsing on topshop website worshiping all the clothes I can not afford and I found these four items that I have fell in love with, The little bagpack is so cute and the denim jacket is to die for, I need to win the lottery!

Tag:10 secrets

TAG: 10 Little Secrets 

1- What is one product that makes you feel like a million dollars?

In all honesty I never really feel like a 'million dollars' but something that makes me feel the closest to that is a bright lipstick, for example number 19 from Kate Moss's lipstick collection is a pink/red/coral colour that smells wonderful and feels just lovely on the lips!

2- What is your skincare secret? / A passed down skin care tip?

I have terrible skin, its oily, very red and very spot prone. I have tried so many products to try and improve it but nothing works, so if you have any magical products that could help me feel free to tell me! One thing I love is a good exfoliator, but some are just to gentle on the areas I want more toughness on, so what I do is use a clean toothbrush (not one I brush my teeth with obviously) and scrub my nose and chin to help get rid of those pesky blackheads!

3- Share your hair care secret?

Its not really a secret but using as little heat as possible on your hair works to keep it looking healthy, and when you do use heat make sure you use a decent hair protectant spray.

4- What is your biggest diet rule?

My diet inst the best really, I don't eat healthy enough! Obviously a healthy diet means your skin and hair will be healthier to, even though I eat far to much junk I never drink fizzy drinks only ever water or squash. I don't really know how much you should drink a day but a litre or more is what I usually drink.

5- Any workout tips?

Oh dear, this is not really a subject I know alot of. The only exercise I do really is the 15 minute walk to school and back, Id like to exercise regularly and tone up but I'm far to lazy to travel to the gym or anything really...

6- Which perfume is your secret weapon?

My favourite perfume right now is Lady million by Paco Rabbane! I love it, at first I thought it was far to strong but the scent grew on me, I now love it and always get people telling me I smell nice which is always a plus.

7- Show us a clothing item of yours which always turns heads?

In all honesty, I don't have one. All my clothes are old and boring! I'm in desperate need of new ones but my pocket money just doesn't stretch that far:( 

8- What is your most treasured piece of jewellery?

None of my jewellery items have any personal meaning to me, but my grandads old casio watch that my mum gave to me when he passed away is sentimental, thats the only item I would really be devastated about if I lost it.

9- Who is your style crush?

I love so many peoples style, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato always look amazing and many of the youtube gurus I watch have AMAZING fashion sense. For example Sammi from 'beautycrush' and Jess from 'sunbeamjess' who I would recommend you check out!

10- Tell us something we dont know about you?

Really you dont know anything about me at the moment, but something you wont know is what subjects Im studying at sixth form. Im doing Maths, Chemistry, English Lit and Media Studies. I started in september so have only been there for 6 weeks.

Henry Holland

 (blouse £195)

(Jumper £305)

I am in love with these to items from Henry Holland, he is such an amazing designer and one day I hope that I will be able to afford clothes from his range. The colourful houndstooth pattern is just beautiful.
