Easter Faux Fur

 Coat - Topshop; Fur Stole - H&M; Blouse - Missguided; Jeans - Topshop; Shoes - Primark

Hey everyone, I know it's been ages since I did an outfit post so here's a little something for you :) I was going to do some outdoor photos while I'm home, but as it's F-ERRREEZING at the mo, I'm remaining inside for a little while!
This is the sort of outfit I normally wear for uni, a little overdressed I know, but why not? :) I bought this Topshop coat off eBay last autumn and layered it with my H&M fur stole (which I bought well over a year ago and never wore because I was scared people would laugh at me - I'm a lot braver with my fashion these days!). Underneath, I'm wearing an embellished collar blouse from Missguided and my favourite Topshop Joni Jeans...although I can never ever get away from the knee-ruching - damn my extremely short legs! Lastly, my lovely shoes are from Primark. Pretty sure they still have really similar styles of these in now for around £10. 
I've got a few new outfit posts lined up for next week too :) trying to get back into the swing while I'm home and have a little bit of time to take photos!

London Haul

I had to be in London on some business of sorts last week & finishing what I had to do at 3.30pm and my train being at 8pm meant I had quite a lot of spare time on my hands. As it happens, I was on Oxford St. so decided to meet up with my lil' twitchlet housemate Christiana and her mumma and we went on a London shop! Me being me, and not often getting the opportunity to go to London, meant I bought quite a lot of bits, which I'm going to show you now :)











The two blouses are definitely my fave purchases. The black polka dot blouse is Forever 21 and the blush pink blouse with the cute cut out hearts is Primark. I saw quite a few blouses I really liked in Primark actually, they're definitely having a good phase at the moment, so I might have to go back and get a few more! Forever 21 jewellery is also one of my favourites (just behind H&M whose jewellery is amazing for the price) and these pairs of earrings were about £3 each, which when I was considering purchasing them, I stated that '£3 doesn't really count' haha, ahhh I'm so easily persuaded by myself. But they're just sooo pretty!
The black shoes are from Topshop, I really liked the patent metal effect toecap and the cut out sides, they do pinch a little but I had to size down because I'm irritatingly a 4.5 and the UK doesn't stock half sizes *sob*!
Finally, it wouldn't be a shopping trip without some eyelashes would it?! I got my usual Eylure 101s (on offer in Superdrug buy one get one free - this is on the multipacks of 3 too!) and was drawn in my the varnish of the moment, the Barry M Gelly polish. I got the new 'Lychee' shade which is a lovely nude colour (I call it my Kate Middleton colour!), though I'd read it lasts for days without chips, mine chipped the next day...so a little disappointed, but maybe I put my hands through too much stress!

I also have a new Her Campus Nottingham post up on how I style up my disco pants, I'd love it if you had a little looksie here! Thanks so much :)

Life Recently #2

favourite look from topshop unique a/w13 show; making notes on the show; treated myself; chillin' to franky ocean; me being cool; chicken lickin'; i love my baby, yep yep i love my chick; purrfect nails; treated myself again oopssyyyy

This week's been a super jam-packed busy crazy non-stop one (yep!) and I've also been feeling rather pants, so haven't been taking any outfit photos properly, but hopefully as I'm getting better I'll be doing some this week when I can as it's going to be another busy one! We went out Friday for some fun away from dissertations and stress and I met some big yellow chickens and said goodbye to some of my medic friends who are leaving for placement (sob :(!). It was such a good night though, one to be remembered! Also tuned in to the Topshop Unique A/W '13 show today on the Topshop website which was an amazing experience. The clothes are absolutely lovely and I'm already excited for the Autumn...but I want it to be hot, so it can take it's time getting here if it likes! I also treated myself to a few bits and pieces as you can see, can't wait to wear the skirt, hope it suits me! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend :)
