I really like this outfit - it's very 'me'. The t-shirt is a little different as it's more fitted than I usually go for but I like the contrast of it against the more oversized fit of this Primark coat, which was only £10 in the sale! I'm also wearing my new Dr Martens boots that I showed in my haul on Sunday - they're really comfortable as they're the soft leather version.
It's time for Sweater Weather again, and this jumper from Primark is so soft and cosy! It's perfect for Autumn and Winter and is the kind of thing you can just 'throw on' with a pair of jeans and boots. It's warm enough to wear without a coat at the moment, but not if it's raining!
Today's new video is a collective fashion haul of some recent purchases. I hope you enjoy it, most of these items are featured in upcoming outfit posts on my blog, hope you've all had a great weekend!
I haven't done one of these posts in weeks, but I thought I'd do one of this week & last week's events and happenings!
Florence + The Machine
I went to see Florence live at the Manchester Arena last week, FATM are currently on their How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful tour and it was absolutely amazing. I don't mention music much on here, so if you didn't know, Florence + The Machine are my absolute favourites and if I had a bucket list seeing them live would have been on it. I'd really recommend seeing them live if you're a big fan like me, it was probably the best thing I've ever been to! I was literally so sad when it was over! I did buy something from the merchandise too, which I'll show in a haul video going up tomorrow!
Hair
I'm blonde again! Last Saturday I was feeling pretty bored, and my hair needed washing and toning, and I've been thinking about re-dying it for a while now as it was looking very orangey. Everyone keeps telling me that my hair is better blonde, and somehow I didn't feel 'myself' with darker hair so I decided to go back blonde! I did it myself at home instead of going to the salon, as it's a lot cheaper, and I find colouring and highlighting hair pretty easy (If you've not done it a lot though, I'd recommend going to a salon!). I'm going to film a video about the products I used and the different stages and things, so if you're interested, keep an eye out for that video.
Other News
There aren't any other 'exciting' things to report, but my new job is going very well and I'm managing so far to keep up with my blog and youtube schedule, which I'm pleased about.
If you haven't seen it, here is my latest video - It's another Primark haul! (obviously filmed before I dyed my hair back blonde!)
I hope you've all had a great week, and for those of you starting/going back to school, college, uni, or work, I hope it's going well for you! :)
This jumper is the same as the green one I blogged about last week, they're really nice and such a bargain at £5. This is the last of the outfits shot that weekend - I was making the most of the fine weather! I'm wearing my Dr Martens Serena boots that I bought last year - they're really comfortable and I wore them so much last winter.
This is a pretty simple outfit, I'm really getting into layering recently, and although this outfit is pretty basic, I think it does have a little bit of interest with the layers. I've also dug out my Isabel Marant boots, I think these were the AW13 collection - I used to wear them loads but haven't worn them for ages!
Hi everyone - I hope you've all had a lovely weekend! Today's video is my jewellery collection & storage. I hope you enjoy the video - please like if you did and subscribe to my youtube channel if you're not already. I've linked any pieces that are still available in the description box of the video. This video is not to 'show off' or 'brag' it's just to share my collection and storage system, if you're not interested in that please just watch something else. :)
Jewellery: Topshop necklace (old), Rings: The Great Frog & vintage, Michael Kors watch
Another day, another Primark jumper! Their knitwear is so good though, and they've got absolutely loads of great pieces in at the moment! This jumper was £12 and is real wool, it came in loads of colours too, and I stayed away from the grey and black ones and bought the berry/purple shade! It's quite oversized but is nice and cosy, and I think oversized jumpers and long boots go so well together. The accessories are my usual ones, although I am wearing a different ring, this one's from my Grandma - she can't wear it anymore because of her arthritis - I've actually had it for a while but I don't wear it very often!
I hope you're all having a great week so far! Today's video is my September Birchbox unboxing of the special edition Birchbox birthday box - hope you enjoy!
I usually make a conscious effort to not wear all black, but sometimes it's good to just go for all black. I love this sleeveless jumper from Primark: it's so soft, but such a versatile piece too. I've layered a long sleeve tee underneath as we all know I don't like my arms (& it's cold!) and I'm also wearing my black joni jeans (I don't wear these so many days in a row - I just shot all these outfits at the weekend!) I still can't believe I managed to get these Topshop boots for £18 in the sale - they were such a good buy!
See I do wear colour! I think green is probably my favourite 'colour' to wear and I've been buying a lot of Khaki lately. I will say though, that I had to buy a new one of these Primark jumpers as my jacket had made it all rough and bobbly due to the textured leather which is a tad annoying, but I'd rather that than the other way around as this jacket was pretty pricey! I'm of course wearing my black joni jeans (standard) and my Dr Martens boots which are so comfortable. I'm also wearing black nail polish for the first time since I was about 13, it feels a little gothic I'll admit, but I do kinda like it!
Jewellery same as usual, Rings: vintage and The Great Frog
I never thought I'd be embracing the 60s and 70s trends, but here I am..
The pinafore dress has quickly become a bit of a wardrobe staple for me now, I now own 3 of the childhood-favourite style, there's something about a pinafore that just works, this ASOS one is really soft and it's an easy way to wear colour. I also like pairing them with my new over-the-knee boots from Clarks. I picked them up at the outlet store, and whilst they were still a little pricey for outlet, I couldn't leave them as I struggle so much to find long boots that fit my tree trunk legs. I also like that these ones are super-plain so they won't date quickly.
Back again with another Primark haul! This is a haul of all the Primark items I've bought since my last haul, plus a couple of pieces from H&M and Topshop at the end! Hope you enjoy, and that you're all having a good week!
This dress from Monki is really oversized, so I added a belt to give it a bit more shape. It's so comfortable though, and I think I'll get a lot of wear out of it during Autumn and Winter. I went for a causal look when I wore this at the weekend, so I added my favourite Dr Martens boots and my usual rings. These photos were taken in a different spot (obviously), but I'm not sure if I prefer it or not, so let me know if you have any thoughts on it!
Jewellery - Primark necklace (rings & watch same as usual)
I'm not usually one for a slogan top, but I just liked this one. I bought it months ago in the Summer sale from Harvey Nichols, and sadly it's no longer available, but I still wanted to share it! The outfit is pretty simple, but you probably know by now that most of my outfits are! Also, my Givenchy Pandora bag is available again online and in stores - I'm not sure if it's back for good or just this season.
Hi everyone, hope you've all had a great weekend! Today's video is an ASOS haul. It's all Autumn & Winter fashion and I hope you enjoy the video - make sure to follow my blog to see some of the items in upcoming outfit posts! x
It's time for the Autumn fashion again - the best thing about the colder months! I love this cropped sweatshirt from Brandy Melville - it's so soft and cosy - I like that it's very plain (very me) but the little alien adds a bit of interest! I've layered underneath it a striped tank top from Primark (which I showed in my haul), and of course I'm wearing my joni jeans from Topshop. I've got out my boots again and these Dr Martens are one of my favourite pairs - I struggled to get these last year as they sold out in most places - currently they're only available in brown (which I've linked above). I've found that these don't need the breaking in that traditional Doc martens do - so no blisters from these!
Hi everyone - hope you're all having a great week! Here is today's video - it's a boots haul from over the last month or so, so technically an August haul mainly! I hope you enjoy it anyway - apologies that I look tired - I was, and had both lights on as I filmed at night! x
This outfit is what I'd call a 'transitioning outfit' (ie. between seasons). The two tops layered together work really well, and it's a good way to break up an all black outfit. I really like this skull tank from Cheap Monday: I picked it up in the Carnaby street store where the sales assistant told me he did 'a stripe wash' which made me chuckle as I wear too much stripes! I've always been a big fan of skulls and although I outgrew my emo phase long ago, I still love a good skull print - this one is made up of tiny flies. I got the shoes in M&S for £15 in the sale, they're real leather and are such a basic item. Believe it or not, I didn't actually own any black ballerinas!
This is such a simple outfit but I love this top/dress from Brandy Melville, it's so soft, comfortable and easy to wear. I've added some interest to a very plain outfit with a variety of jewellery - these Primark necklaces were only £2 for both!
