Sometimes.. buying the coat is just necessary!

I hate to say I told you so but I did! Primark AW14 is totally on point! After seeing Lauren’s post about her amazing floppy hat from Primark, I felt you also needed to know about the absolute bargains I came by the other day.

Literally it was like a movie.. something caught the corner of my eye, glowing, and drawing me closer. I actually couldn’t stop myself from going over and what I saw.. I fell in love with. It was a coat of my dreams. Camel coloured, boyfriend cut with a beautiful fur collar that ended at the buttons. But my dream came to a crashing holt when the only size was a 20. I think I was actually heartbroken.

 

BUT.. have no fear, Monday morning deliveries came and so did the smaller sizes. I decided to buy a 12, bit of room for when the chunky knit jumpers are on. In my eyes, it’s one of those coats that automatically improves any outfit, and also is just a continuous classic style, no matter what the year. Oh, I nearly forgot the best bit… it was only £25!!

 

I also picked up another key piece in Primark ( yes I can admit to a slight obsession at the moment!) I found black ballet pumps with gold chain detail, £8. So simple but definitely a necessary part of my wardrobe!

The search is over..

The search is over... I've been looking for a floppy felt hat for as long as I can remember, ever since I spied Vanessa Hudgens in a gorgeous camel coloured one, I knew I needed one in my life.

Luckily for me as AW14 rolls round, so have the floppy hats and I've searched high and low for the right amount of flop and the right price ! Topshop have a lovely selection in all sort of autumnal colours but with the price tag of £30 (ish) I just couldn't bring myself to part with the cash and was leaving it to Santa to buy me! Everywhere from forever21 to miss Selfridges stock them all in a range of sizes and prices so if your on the search like me, highstreet shops deffo have some goodies!

 

 

I found my beauty in none other than Primark ( a shop you can always count on!). I did start my search in Primark knowing they can't be beat in price but the hats they had just weren't floppy enough for me, and I was also looking for black as I knew they would go with my winter coats. I was in Primark looking for a few last minute uni buys when I stumbled across the perfect hat with the perfect price tag, at £10 it was an absolute steal ! So now the search is over and I can't wait for the weather to get a bit colder to give me an excuse to wear it !

SS15 must haves!

I’ve had a week or so being out of touch with all things blogging due to my laptop not working AKA my mum dropping it on the floor! And without sounding dramatic, I have struggled without my laptop linking me to the fashion world especially in the midst of fashion week. But don’t worry, instead I’ve used up all the data on my phone keeping up to date with all that’s gone on. Luckily my laptop is going in to get repaired in a couple of days as I couldn’t possibly face another week being completely ostracised from the 21^st century and leaving all the blogging up to Emma and Erin! So, soon normality will be restored just as I’m about to move off to Manchester for uni, I’m lucky that both Erin and Emma have gone before me so I’ve picked up tips from both of them, especially from Erin’s blog post!

As New York Fashion Week has drawn to a close (and I’ve managed to stalk the whole event on Instagram) I thought I would share my favourite collections that I would love to get my hands on… wishful thinking I know!

Roll on spring 2015!

Hopefully I’ll be back to blogging ASAP!

1 week in the beautiful Liverpool!

I have officially been a uni student for a whole week! 1 entire week of independence and trying to figure out how to be a grown up. Well.. sort of. My cooking skills haven’t been horrendous, I’ve managed to wake up on time, find my way to my classes and somehow go out for 6 nights on the run. The consequence of this was ‘freshers flu’ of course! What. A. Bitch. Therefore tonight is a night in, playing cards and watching movies with my new uni family who I have already become insanely attached to.

The absolutely beautiful LIVERPOOL!

Here are some things that may help your first week away from home easier:

-  Fill your room with photos from home, it really helps with homesickness and makes your room look fab.

-  I decided to decorate, so matching covers, pillows, towels, lamp, throw… my room has a colour scheme.. I love it.

-  Freshers! Avoid heels at all costs. You are allowed a 2 week pass of flats. Its allowed, I promise!

-  Clothes for freshers was something I was panicking about, but I decided the outfits I wore on holiday (see previous holiday posts) were perfectly casual, teamed with flats for a sweaty club with a lot of underdressed people.

-  Find the nearest food shop to you, trekking back to your flat becomes a lot harder without a car. Also learn to budget. It helps.

-  Think of easy food you can cook before you go. If all else fails, everyone can cook a pizza right?

-  Making friends is so important so don’t be shy, they’re all scared too and you’ll find so many lovely people around you !

-  Skype, facetime, tango.. whatever you use, video calling is brilliant! Actually being able to see your family is so good!

-  Go to all your welcome fairs and inductions! No this doesn’t make you uncool, it makes you knowledgeable. And knowledge is power!

-  And finally if your shopping addiction is getting the best of you, go to Primark, all their AW14 stuff is really good!

This is my bed set, absolutely love floral!

Let me know how you all get on!

Burberry inspires..

I realise our posts about holiday may be a bit full on, considering the weather outside doesn’t really scream shorts and crop top weather. So I want to start breaking us in to AW14 styles and buys.

Of course, now as a student, the lack of money is doing only one thing.. making me notice all the beautiful clothes that I can’t afford. A style that I really want to adopt for autumn and winter is the ‘wrap scarf’, also known as the ‘blanket wrap’. I first saw this look in the Burberry AW14 show and fell in love.

                     

 

The block colours and tones just feel perfect to me for winter and the exact way to add a new edge to a basic outfit. Obviously this was earlier on in the year so I never noticed the style hit the high street until I was in New Look the other day. They have a range of different patterned wrap scarves priced between £20 - £25, so extremely reasonable (especially for a poor student like myself). Here are two of my favourite picks from their website..

Post holiday blues...

5 days back in England (how has it only been five days???) and I'm still severely suffering from the post holiday blues. I spend all day dreaming of cocktails on the beach and sunsets on the balcony. So even thought it's ridiculously late to be doing a holiday style post (lets pretend it's not September, ok?) I'm going to bombard you with loads of outfits pics anyway just to make myself feel better. I've got a big mish-mash of snaps from Espagnol; some of myself, and others of Erin and Lauren. Because I'm too lazy to ask them where any of their outfits are from, feel free to leave us a comment and we'll get back to you with the shopping deets.

Love always,

Remind me why we're home again?

After an amazing week in Majorca, the three of us are well and truly suffering from post holiday blues. Sunsets, cocktails, nights out, beautiful food.... oh the food was just perfect! Sorry just drooling over memories! After being let loose on duty free, we have come up with a few INSANE purchases (more to follow soon!)

Over the next few weeks we are parting ways, moving into Uni and becoming grown ups.. apparently. We will be letting you in on our Fresher outfit choices, cooking attempts and every other types of discovery we make on the way!

 

                     

 

Lots of love,
