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...

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. 

Missguided wishlist

Rose gold skater skirt £14.99

Tartan studded jacket £29.99

Velvet cut out dress £18.99

Frill Crop Tee £12.99

Ive just been browsing through every online shop possible, as I always do, and I thought Id do a quick blogpost on all the things I want from missguided. If you havent been on their site before I recommend you do, they have some lovely stuff! They do some really nice pieces that would be lovely this party season and hopefully if santa brings me a few pennies for christmas ill be placing an order from missguided fairly soon.

I love rose gold and skater skirts so when I saw this skirt I fell in love, even though I hate getting my legs out this skirt is to beautiful not to wear and at a bargain price. The Tartan jacket is my cup of tea and would be perfect to chuck on everyday for sixth form, even though im meant to have a dress code I dont normally follow it! I also love the frilly crop top, I find it would look cute with high waisted jeans for that effortless yet made an effort look which everyone loves.

This is just a quick post because my outfits have been boring lately, ive just been wearing the same knitted jumper and scarf paired with my trusty h&m boots which are perfect for the English weather. (If you click on the names of the item it will send you straight there)

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.
