Studded Jumper

 Jumper - Missguided; Jeans - New Look; Shoes - Topshop

While I was away in Spain I got a huuge delivery of clothes and this was among them. It's a lovely cream chunky knit jumper by Missguided with pretty studded detail on the shoulders. I've never really been a jumper person, for years I've bought so many cardigans but jumpers are sooo much easier for when you're at uni and you need to throw something on at the last minute. This one is probably going to be my fave this year, it's really comfy and I like the 3/4 length sleeves. Also it doesn't drown me like many oversized style jumpers do! I got this in a size S/M and I'm a size 6-8 so you can get an idea of the size! I'm pretty sure it's handwash only because of the studs but I don't care 'cause it's definitely worth it! Just need a nice pair of winter boots to go with it now - shopaholicccccc ;)

Sunny Afternoon


 Jeans - Topshop; Top - Jovonnista; Belt - ASOS; Watch - ASOS


Finally returning to posting after my lovely holiday on the south coast of Spain. I got an actual natural tan for the first time since I was a bambino so I'm very excited to show it off now I'm home! The weather is actually quite nice here today so I decided to wear my new pale lilac Topshop jeans for the first time. I bought these at the beginning of the 'summer' but due to the horrible rain and cloud I never wore them. I teamed them with this floaty grey leopard print tee style blouse by Jovonnista. I absolutely love Jovonna and Jovonnista clothing, they do some really classy pieces, like my lovely blue blazer that I have lived in for years (and will no doubt feature in an outfit post sometime!). It's all thanks to the lovely Pixie Lott that I found this brand, after tracking down lots of clothes that she wore when promoting her debut album. I'm also wearing my new 'boyfriend' watch from ASOS. I decided on a rose gold colour instead of bright gold as I think it'll look a lot nicer set against a lot of the pastel coloured clothes I've got at the moment! 

I have loads of new clothes to blog about (got a maaaaajor deliv while I was away - was just like Christmas when I got home!) and will be posting a lot more on my return to uni, not far away now! :)

Boucle

 Jacket - Primark; Top - Topshop; Jeans - New Look


Went out for a casual dinner tonight to a little Italian restaurant in town (if you've seen my Tweets you'll know I'm a bit obsessed with antipasti - could live on it for the rest of my life!). We also strangely did sambuca shots at the end of the meal, don't know where that idea came from!
 Didn't want to be too dressed up so just wore my new BARGAIN boucle jacket from Primark (a tenner and it looks so much more!), a black sleeveless peplum top from Topshop and my fave New Look jeans! I never used to be able to find jeans I really liked due to my weirdly proportioned body but these New Look ones are amazing, they're so comfy! I think they're the 'supersoft superskinny' ones, and this colour is my favourite, I think it makes your legs look sooo much slimmer!

Weekly Want No. 1


Done a little post one some things I have my eye on/have bought this week! I'll try and do these as often as possible, as much as I know I'll never afford everything I write about (sob!). I've added clickable links on all the items that have online shopping links!

1. Blazer with button detail - Never Fully Dressed. LOVE this blazer, the detail on the back is so cute and it's nicely oversized which is a must in a blazer in my opinion! They do a version in magenta with buttons down one side of the front too which I also reeeeally like!

2. Clutch bag - Dorothy Perkins. Unfortunately I can't find this on the website! The image appeared in the DP email newsletter I was sent this morning and straightaway I went on the site to find it but can't! I hope it comes in to stock soon because I think the pattern is so pretty. I know it won't go with many colours apart from neutrals but I reeeeally want one!

3. Studded Pumps by Deena & Ozzy - Urban Outfitters. I caved and ordered these last night after I asked my mum's opinion, and she liked them too! I'm bored of wearing flat shoes in the daytime everyday so I'm going to try these out, think they may look a little more elegant than my usual flatties on my short legs!

4. Studded Jumper - Missguided. I saw this style of jumper in Topshop at first but then discovered on Missguided that they had some very similar a bit cheaper. I like a nice snuggly jumper in the winter at uni when we can't afford to have our heating on all the time and the studs on the shoulders make it a bit more interesting.

Union Nights

Top - Topshop; Skirt - Topshop

So I promised another outfit post yesterday & here it is! The photo is such poor quality as I had about 2 minutes to get a half decent shot so I apologise for that :) I wore a full Topshop outfit with Dorothy Perkins courts. We went out to Lincoln to get a bit drunk last night and I managed to get through the whole night in these shoes again, they are a saviour, never known heels so comfortable!

ICE CREAM

Cardigan - New Look; Shirt - Topshop


Haven't blogged in aaaaages cause I've been busy elsewhere recently! Went to Croydon at the weekend to say goodbye to Andy, one of my lovely uni friends who I'll miss so much, and just generally been shopping etc! But most probably going to do 2 outfit posts today as I'm going out tonight to say goodbye to another friend who's leaving for a new job. HATE goodbyes! 

This shirt is probably one of my favourites at the moment, the print is so cute, and I'll probably wear it in the winter even though it's got ice creams on :) the cardigan is sooo cosy though it's actually quite warm today so I prob won't need it!

Also as I'm writing this I'm quite glad my photo cuts off my feet, got my catty slippers on! Ooops!
Going on my hol next week so expect pics galore when I'm back, bought quite a lot of new clothes! ;)
