Top: Aliexpress, Cardigan: H&M, Coat: Topshop, Necklaces: Aliexpress
Summer is beginning to draw to a close and me and Charlotte have been eagerly awaiting this change of season. What's not to love about Autumn/Winter? Halloween, bonfire night, Christmas films, cranberry smokey eyes and dark lips... the list goes on!
So inspired by the dropping temperature I decided to experiment with layering outerwear pieces in neutral shades to switch up my usual leather jacket option. This textured cocoon biker coat was from Topshop a while back and adds sophistication to any look and to be honest this outfit needed just a touch to pull back from being full on Taylor Momsen...
My top is a UNIF dupe from Aliexpress.com, really worth a trawl through for bargains as my necklaces are both from the same site and were unbelievably inexpensive. I am wearing a Primark black bodycon skirt underneath the vest by the way, my mother asked the same question.
Here's to the start of all things Autumn!
Shirt: Primark, Necklace: Topshop, Shorts: H&M, Shoes: Topshop, Sunglasses: Forever 21
Summer is here again and that means a renewed obsession with Lana del rey and all of her Lolita fueled palm tree inspiration once again translates into our wardrobes. I paired this vintage palm tree inspired shirt with leather look runner shorts to add a bit of contrast as even in summer there has to be some form of leather look item in most outfits.
My white collar necklace is from Topshop and goes with pretty much everything, a piece I'm loving at the moment.
My over sized cat-eye sunglasses are from forever 21 and match the vintage 50's feel of the shirt. Finally I slipped on my Topshop croc effect skate shoes with no socks! If any of you own these skate shoes you will know that this was a brave move, however I did end up borrowing a pair of Charlotte's socks to walk home in...
Also as a side note I am wearing a few wefts of my new clip in extensions from Luxury for princess which I bought mainly to add volume to my hair. I am so impressed with the softness and quality of the extensions and would really recommend them to anyone considering buying some!

Top: Primark, Coat: Primark, Boots: Miss Selfridge, Necklace: Miss Selfridge, Tights: Back of drawer?
Pinstripes have been somewhat of an obsession for me recently and I love dressing up sports inspired pieces with a statement necklace. The over-sized baseball tee is an item featured in our Primark haul video and I can get away with wearing this as a dress, with shorts underneath just in case! Although I do have to be careful not to catch my new ear piercings as the neckline is quite high - Would not recommend getting four piercings at once to anyone...The white biker coat was also from Primark, the lightweight material is perfect for spring and I have been buying a lot of white lately.
This statement necklace is one of my all time favourite purchases and definitely gets a lot of attention, I love combining it with more casual outfits. Finally I wore my Miss Selfridge black ankle boots because whilst I love my Topshop Aphrodite boots they are such a pain to lace up when trying stuff on!

Oh and I almost forgot to mention, I got a new puppy! Honey is a little Pomeranian but shes been causing a hell of a lot of issues over clean up - I aint dealing with that. Still, she gets away with it because she's so cute. If anyone has any training tips I would really appreciate it!
Tee shirt: Primark, Leggings: Topshop, Wedges: H&M, Necklace: eBay
Grey days, cold winds and rain. Isn't it time for winter to be over, I am itching to wear a Spring inspired bright lip and to have the option of putting on a tee shirt without contracting hypothermia.
Despite the crisp ...very crisp March air, I decided to opt for the tee shirt I picked up in our recent Primark haul. I am a huge fan of sports wear inspired pieces as of late, especially when paired with a statement necklace.
I paired the tee shirt, (which by the way was only £5!) with my Topshop Wet look leggings, the petite ones if you hadn't have guessed and I revived my old H&M wedge ankle boots from the depths of my shoe cupboard. They were the first pair of platform shoes I owned and whilst they do look a bit precarious they are surprisingly easy to walk in. Please excuse my socks by the way, does anyone else find sports relief socks to be insanely comfortable?
Also I lightened my hair and covered up my roots using Garnier Nutrisse creme in shade 9 Blonde Aphrodite. I don't know how I feel about the colour, however I am a very indecisive individual. Personally I feel it is a bit too warm for my liking and I have been using a toning shampoo to try and combat this. Red hair has always been a dream but I have been strongly advised against it... I suppose it would be difficult to go back to blonde if I didn't like it.
I cannot wait for the weather to warm up now! Let me know what your looking forward to wearing next season, and what colour should I dye my hair next?

Jumper: AliExpress, Jeans: River Island, Necklace: Primark, Shoes: Converse, Hair: Frizzy :(
Obviously not me.. yes I wore this to a Christening and yes I was extremely underdressed. I was misinformed by my family that they were casual affairs, tell that to all the other guests in their fur coats, heels and dresses. Whoops! Anyway, I've been awaiting the arrival of this Givenchy inspired jumper for ages - the woes of Chinese wholesalers, I'm surprisingly impressed with the quality of this although I wasn't sure on the fit at first, the boxy shape is growing on me. These jeans are my go-to as they're more of a jegging type stretchy fit and of course my Converse which I've featured far too many times on this blog. Both me and Grace are avid fans of statement necklaces and I love this neon Primark one from summer last year, hopefully Primark bring out similar ones this year!
So learn from my and my family's fashion faux-pas and get your heels on for a Christening!

P.S. Please recommend me products! My hair is starting to resemble Myrtle Snow (Google it if you're not into American Horror Story), please excuse it from these photos!
Jumper: Primark, Jeans: Vintage Armani, Watch:
Fossil, Bag: Vintage, Shoes:
Leather Converse
Spring is in the air! I'm usually an all black girl but there's something about this jumper that I love, I know everyone went mad for them when they came out so I'm not sure if they're still in stock but pick one up if you find them - they're so soft and the cropped length makes it perfect with anything high waisted. One of the many benefits of volunteering at Oxfam is snapping up all the vintage pieces, these Armani jeans remind me a lot of the Topshop 'Mom' jeans but I think they're a bit more flattering. My black leather converse are definitely one of my go-to pairs of shoes I love how they're different than the popular styles of canvas converse but still comfortable and cute.
Hope January is treating you all well!
