Galaxy legs

Leggings- Black Milk . Jumper - H&M . Shirt- NewLook . Bag- Topshop . Shoes- ASOS . Hat- ASOS
Hi Guys,

Just a little outfit post to showcase the Black Milk Galaxy Leggings to you. I love love love Black Milk and although some people might think their prices are a bit steep for leggings i would totally disagree! The fact that all of the designs are so unique and the fabrics are such high quality make it worth it, you would probably get more wear out of these than a pair of jeans (and they're probably a lot comfier too!).

You cant see it too well here but I've been getting a lot of wear out of this chiffon blouse (worn underneath) from New Look. Its really diverse and looks great under things, over things, worn undone or just on its own and buttoned to the top, I've got a lot of love for the blouse right now!

Also, you all need to check out FeFiFo Fashion, its a fairly new blog but so many great fashion/beauty tip offs! go go go :)

Happy Halloween!

Jumper- ASOS. Shorts - H&M . Necklace- Miss Selfridge . Shoes- Topshop . Bag- Zara . Cuff - ASOS
Hi Everyone, Happy Halloween!

I thought this jumper was very fitting for the occasion with the beaded cross detail, definitely one of my favourite jumpers of the moment! I also got these cute pleated chiffon culottes in H&M last week which i love, they come in cream too so i think they may also have to be a new addition to my wardrobe as well.

I cant begin to tell you how glad i am that its pay day today! Ive been SO poor this last week or so, although i actually lost my bankcard at the weekend which is probably a blessing in disguise to stop me going absolutely mad!

So as promised  here are some photographs of my ghost effort from the weekend, i wore a white dress, white shoes and a white bag and had a floaty white sheet thing for more of a ghost effect!



I love how everyone makes such an effort with their costumes on halloween, my personal favourites were a guy dressed as lady gaga complete with 45 rashers of bacon pinned to him as a meat dress and another guy who had some how managed to turn his face into a half open zip which looked really cool.

Despite coming home minus a purse but up on one fake chin and a couple of unexplained injuries it was a really fun night! let me know what you guys got up to or if your doing anythign fun tonight!

Tweed Shorts

Shorts- H&M . Jumper- H&M . Shoes- Topshop . Jacket- Vintage
So this is what i wore to work yesterday (although the hat was for logistic purposes, i know it was dress down Friday but i think the hat would possibly be taking it too far!).

I love these shorts i picked up in H&M the other day, they are so multifunctional and again one off those pieces that could suit all occasions. Ive kind of dressed them down here with a hat and a leather jacked but they would be great dressed up with a blouse or silk camisole too.

I don't usually get too too excited about Halloween but we're heading out tonight to few parties and Ive decided to go as a ghost... haha i know it sounds like a bit of a cop out but i can promise you i'll style it up a bit and im painting myself/hair white which will be fun :) I will do my best to get some photos for you all!

Anyone else dressing up this weekend? Let me know what your all going as!

Floaty Fur



Fur waistcoat- H&M  . Vest- Topshop Boutique. Skirt- Miss Selfrige . shoes- Topshop . Bag - Vintage
I bought this skirt a while ago but it was amongst a bag of my belongings that i had left at my friend Sam's for months and months. When i finaaaally got round to collecting it there were so any hidden surprises that i had forgotten all about! (some of which i will most likely blog to you all soon).

As you can see i'm stiilll living in the new blue Topshop shoes, and ive come to the conclusion that i also need them in red.... i think my student loan could possibly make a contribution to the cause?! The only thing is, i now have a pretty nasty blister on the top of my foot but its my own fault for wearing them so much!

oHH i also need to clear something up! The jumper dress that im wearing a couple of posts below is by VerO Moda, dont listen to me when i saw VerA moda because that's wrong but thats how i saw it for some reason and therefore how i spell it! Sorry for the confusion. Oh and its available from ASOS. i hope they still have it because a lot of you were e-mailing asking about it, i hope that helps!

Red Snake

Jumper-Zara . Shirt underneath- Topshop . Shorts- H&M . Shoes - Topshop . Necklace- Miss Selfridge
Oooh this snake print jumper from Zara was such a good find! Its got a fuzzy kind of texture to it which it makes it seem warmer than it actually is. Its another great item for layering and i laaaav the burgundy red snakeprint, such an autumnal piece!

You might have also noticed that my hair has gotten mysteriously darker over night... it actually stemmed from a toner mishap but i was thinking of going a shade darker for winter anyways. I had been starting to miss my dip dyed locks too so it was a win win situation really!

you might have ALSO noticed my new shoes! i finally got my hands on them after wanting them for aaaages. I saw them a couple of weeks back on the Topshop website but they mysteriously disappeared (i was pretty heartbroken im not going lie). Thankfully they resurfaced on the site last week, i basketed them immediately and theyve barely been off my feet since. I LOVE them.

Hope you've had a fun Monday, I almost got blown away in the wind but thankfully these shoes held me down. My car also broke down which was pretty funny (apart from it making me miss a Sushi date) but its ok, i sat and ate sweets until my dad came to rescue me!

Autumn Layers

Jumper- h&m . Jumper dress- VeraModa . T-shirt- AmericanApparel . Shoes- ASOS. Bag- h&m

A bit of layering is great for getting rid of outfit fatigue when you feel like you've worn the same things too many times!

I like to take a few of my favourite pieces and layer them up to create a more refreshing look! I've gone for a bit of a simple vibe using just a few tones and one print but clashing prints work really well too.

Hope you've all had a nice weekend :)

Happy layering people!

Berry Beanie

Jumper- H&M . Shorts- AmericanApparel . Shoes- ASOS (old) . Bag- Topshop
 Yay for hats. I think i spent more days last winter wearing hats than without and i have a feeling it will be the same this year! (If the antarctic conditions of today are anything to go by).

I know im saying how freezing cold it is yet im wearing shorts, which probably doesnt make much sense but there is method in the madness! This could possibly be one of the last days of the year i'll be able to wear them without tights (and just for the record i think i caught frost bite) so is therefore a tribute to bare-legged shorts. BUT im not prepared to entirely discount them yet just in case we have another freak turn in the weather :)

Thank you so so much to those who have already taken the time to quickly answer the three questions in my survey to help with my Uni coursework. For those of you who would still like to do it i'll just post it again... HERE

Thanks millions :)
