OOTD | Autumn Day
I have been loving this outfit recently. It features this beaut bat wing jumper from Pull & Bear, high waisted mom jeans from Missguided and my go-to heeled boots.
I've also been loving tucking in my tops recently. There's something about it that makes you look more put together. I still like to wear this jumper not tucked in, it's quite flowy and baggy, but goes with just about everything.
It was unusually warm for autumn when I shot these photos, but throw on a leather jacket and your good to go even when the temperature hits single figures.
What's your go-to style in autumn?

- Missguided High Waisted Mom Jeans

- Again, my Topshop backpack isn't stocked anymore but i've found some similar bags: Asos backpack / Pull&Bear backpack /

The Earring Update
When a new jewellery shop opened near me, i was immediately drawn in. I'd never seen a Lovisa before but was pretty impressed by the prices and the huge range, especially the ear rings. Earrings are something i got out of the habit of wearing for the last couple of years, however i have recently made a conscious bid to update my collection, get a new piercing and start wearing them again. This new shop provided me with the perfect opportunity!
There are some pieces that do look a lil tacky however if you have a good browse, there really is something for everyone, especially at such budget friendly prices. They may not be high quality, but for someone like me who is looking at getting back into earrings, you can't go wrong. These are the 5 pairs i picked up on my recent trip to Lovisa (I already have a number of other purchases from here), for a bargain of £7. I don't like earrings too fancy; quite simple, understated and delicate is usually my go-to, as it is for all jewellery. Let me know what you think!

Have you been to a Lovisa before?

ASOS Wishlist #4
We're in to 2016 (on a side note- how?!) and so i thought it was only right that i do another ASOS Wishlist. I've actually only just received an ASOS parcel but my 'saved items' page is ever growing and i might as well make the most of the January sales, right?
Can you tell i'm into monochrome? Oops!

Summer Clothing Haul
I did a little bit of online shopping a few weeks ago in preparation for my jolly holidays and the summer in general. Here are the items i added to my bag to update my summer wardrobe.
From Asos:
Possibly my favourite and most worn item, although it doesn't look like much, in the few weeks since the retail therapy. The loose fitting style and the material means it adds something a little different and can dress up an outfit more than the typical vest.
A summer essential that everyone has to have this year. A kimono. The tassel's and black and white pattern mean it can be used to dress up a previously plain outfit but is also great as a cover up for the beach or if you feel like you've had too much sun.
A floaty shift style dress with a bright and colourful pattern. The material is silky like and so really light, meaning its perfect for those hot summer days. Once again it can also be dressed up for evenings.
I love the look of big t-shirts with leggings and so a t-shirt dress is the next step up. I love white in the summer as it enhances a tan and the mesh insert at the top means this can be worn both day and night. Versatile.
Another dress, this time sleeveless black, white and red checkered. Its got a very 60s feel to it and would look great with a black bowler hat and black hat. Another versatile piece as it will carry through to autumn and winter when paired with tights, ankle boots or brogues and a cardigan.
As i mentioned earlier i love white in the summer. This is a boxy crop top which could be worn with a high waisted skirt or shorts if you don't want to bare your tummy but also normal shorts if you do. Its also another day or night piece.
Versatility is the key with these clothes and the summer. Items which you can just throw on but still look stylish and can take you from day to night when paired with the right things. Perfect.

Collective Haul
Just a little post on my most recent clothing purchases, but with a little beauty items chucked in for good measure. Lets get cracking!
Ive paired all the tops with my shiny leggings from Missguided but obviously they can be styled however you want them. I just literally live in these sort of leggings/disco pants.
River Island
First of all from River Island, i got this basic baggy black t-shirt which has a gold necklacey thing attached to it which adds a pop of colour and dresses it up a little. The material (viscose and rayon) also dresses it up and i think it will look perfect with some floral print peg trousers ive been eyeing up from Asos. Worn with a pair of heels and gold jewellery it will take you from day to night.
New Look
I love my baggy jumpers and when i saw this i had to get it. Its knitted and has a mixture of cream, light brown and salmon pink (ish) stitches. It just screams autumn with the mix of colours and will also look good with shirt collars peaking out over the top.
Asos
My favourite shop/ website. I literally stalk it daily and have a uncontrollable list of 'saved' items. My latest order contains two new tops; a very neon yellow/lime baseball style top, something that i wouldn't normally go for as it is so bright and i usually stick to monochrome and a super soft black jumper with a white skull pattern on it.
Dorothy Perkins
Not somewhere i shop often but i spotted this playsuit that i love. The top half is checkered black and light creamish/white which is a light, silk like material with a black collar and the shorts are black and a much thicker material. Although this initially looks like a more going out outfit (which i will wear out with heals and red lipstick) i also think it will go great in the winter with thick tights, boots and a chunky cardigan.
Boots
A new Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in light 2, stocking up on my fave!
Primark
I picked up some more PJ's from Primark, and the colours of these make them great for autumn (fall). The shorts are checkered, with the main colour being burgundy, with pink, yellow, cream all mixed in there. The top is a vest which is the same burgundy colour and together these look really cute.

Avon
I saw in the brochure that Avon now do nail wraps and they were selling them initially for a discounted price and so i thought id test them as all you do is stick them on. I got them in the design 'check you out' and if i like them i may do a blogpost, so keep an eye out. I also got another lipstick, i think its one of their ultra colour lipsticks in the shade rouge luxury; a bright red with a hint of pink in it.
Satchel Love
I am in love with my satchel! I recently purchased a new satchel for the start of sixth form, as the old one i previously used straps broke whilst still at school. So i went shopping looking to find a new satchel, that would go with most, if not all of my outfits at sixth form and then i found this little beauty in River Island!
