OOTD: all the pretty visitors.

 

Okay, so I know I've been very bad at blogging lately but I am going to try and be a lot better from now on because I love doing this; I enjoy looking back at my past outfits even if sometimes I do think 'OMG why!'. I am back home now for a couple of weeks (which means I have my photographer back) so I should be able to get quite a few posts done. Anyway... so today was a pretty Spring's day; sunshine and blue skies which means a crop top is totally acceptable.

 

JACKET - ARK (sale)

MOM JEANS - Topshop

CROP TOP - Topshop

 

 Contrary to some opinions, I am not wearing a picnic blanket although I will admit this jacket is reminiscent of one.

 

HAIR - Washed Up Mermaid by BLEACH London

BELT - New Look

 

Yeah, I am obsessed with BLEACH London products but blue is certainly my favourite at the moment.

 

BAG - Primark

 

 

 

NECKLACE - Primark 

 

 SHOES - Primark

 

 SUNGLASSES - Primark

 

Yeah I am a bit of a sucker for Primark's plastic glasses but they are cheap.

 

 NAILS - Rimmel 'Black Out'

LIPS - Topshop 'Called Up'

 

 

I bloody love Mom jeans, they're easy to style and so comfy. I think they look best styled with a tighter crop top due to the high-waisted loose fit.

 

 

Okay so I'll see you soon with a new post! Oh and also I'm having a bit of a sale over on eBay (#student) if you fancy checking it out here.

 

love amy xx

OOTD: the sky all pastel shades

So this OOTD isn't entirely black this time but it is Christmastime so I thought I'd make a bit of an effort! I saw this corduroy pinafore dress on a girl when I was doing a street style project for my course and I liked it instantly so I was pretty pleased when I saw it in Primark and only about £12!

 

JACKET - eBay

PINAFORE - Primark

TIGHTS - Primark

 

 

T-SHIRT - Mink Pink via Asos 

 

I fell in love with this t-shirt when I saw the gorgeous Cara Delevigne wearing it but I couldn't track it down anywhere in the UK and then when I was browsing through the Asos sale the other day I found it! Reduced from £30 down to £9.....yes please! I'm not normally a fan of statement tees but I couldn't resist the cheeky text on this one and look at the cute baby animals.

BOOTS - River Island

SOCKS - Topshop

OOTD: been wondering if your heart's still open.

So last Friday it got cold and it rained and the weather was just an all round misery guts (didn't stop a shopping trip though!) so I had to dress for the cold; something I'm not used to after having such a pleasant few months of warmth. I like A/W fashion though, I like cosy knits and tights and boots so it was quite enjoyable styling an outfit suitable for such a climate...

DRESS - Rare (via Topshop)

More or less monochrome with just a hint of raspberry hue.

CARDIGAN - Topshop (via eBay)

Ahh my cosy, cosy cardi.

BRACELETS- Matalan / WATCH - eBay

BAG - Miss Selfridge (sale)

 RINGS (left-right) - vintage, Topshop midi rings, Miss Selfridge / NAILS - Queen & Country - 'Mood Swing'

SOCKS - Primark / BOOTS - River Island

Yes it's those boots again.

 CHOKER - Matalan / LIPS - L'Oreal 'Plum Passion'

TIGHTS - Primark ('handbag tights')

As always I hope you are all very well and please remember to follow me on bloglovin here if you want to stay up to date with all my posts. The lyrics in the title are from the song Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys. 

OOTD: just a young heart confusing my mind.

So me and my lovely mother went on a country walk with the dog the other day and I thought I'd do an OOTD post to show you what I was wearing. Dark florals are a key A/W trend and I wanted to style this skirt as a summer to A/W transitional piece....

SKIRT - Topshop (via eBay)

TOP - eBay

I love the asymmetry of this skirt because it creates a really nice shape and feels quite 'boho'.

BRACELETS - Matalan (sale) / WATCH - eBay

CHOKER - Matalan (sale)

RINGS (left - right) - gifted, Topshop, Topshop, Primark / NAILS - Barry M 'Matte White'

Less rings than normal but I'm liking it.

The last time I visited this field was in the summer when the grass was green and oh so high and now look at it! I think the hay/straw really adds to the A/W transition look I wanted to create though. 

SUNGLASSES - Primark

BOOTS - River Island / SOCKS - Primark

I'm still drooling over these boots.

BAG - Matalan (old)

Woah, hello messy hair! This is a look achieved after keeping your hair in the same style for 2 days....lazy!

PAYDAY HAUL PART II - (River Island, Boots, Topshop, Missguided etc.)

So I might've been naughty and spent some more pennies on more lovely things but heyho you can't take it with you can you!? Anyway let's commence with the haul and all...

RIVER ISLAND

CUT OUT BOOTS - £45

Ahh I am in love with these patent cut-out boots. They are so chunky and clunky (kinda remind me of some shoes in the movie Clueless) and they were so damn hard to get my hands on. Originally they'd sold out online so I checked in all my local RI stores to no avail...so when I saw they were back online I snapped them up instantly. They do have this style in a matte black too if shiny shiny ain't your thing. I think they are pretty good Coltrane dupes and for a fraction of the price - bonus!

SO IN FASHION

DRESS - £15

You might of seen this dress featured in my latest OOTD here. It is a loose skater-style fit tartan mini-dress and I think it might just be one of my favourite things I own. It's quite a lightweight jersey material but really good quality. They have this dress in a blue tartan too.

ASOS

BRALET - £14

So PU and look-alike leather is all in for this A/W so I thought I'd pick myself up something now plus at the time ASOS were having a 20% new season flash sale. I know it looks quite a simple piece but I thought this will just be so versatile to put under sheer shirts or layer over t-shirts or even to wear with something highwaisted. I've got so many outfit ideas for this which I'm pretty excited about.

BOOTS

BARRY M 'Blue Moon' & 'Matte White' - £2.99 each

I only popped into Boots quickly just to pick up this white polish which I've been meaning to grab for a while now and Boots had a buy one get one half price offer on Barry M so I picked up this really pretty pastel blue up too. 

MISS SELFRIDGE

DUNGAREE SHORTS - £20 (sale)

I bought this a while ago offline but I kept forgetting to include it in hauls but I've finally remembered. I bought this because I just fell in love with the embroidery detail, thing is this was only available as a petite exclusive which means I had to do quite a bit of alteration to get it to fit (y'know because petite sizing is usually for females 5"4 and under whereas I'm almost 5"7 - clever Amy.) I think this will be more of an A/W piece styled with tights because they are very short on me! 

H&M

RING - £2.99

Now I just love dinosaur jewellery so when I saw this little ring in H&M well...it just had to be mine! 

PRIMARK

HEELS - £14

So after buying Primark's strappy heeled sandals I fell in love with this sort of style of shoe and my lovely Granny kindly purchased these for me because she thought they were so very divine too! I love the monochrome (although the white could be risky on nights out!) and I adore the thick strap, I just think they look so not Primark-y...in fact I saw a similar pair in River Island for £70!

TOPSHOP

SILVER MIDI RING - £4.50 / GOLD MIDI RING - £4

I am a little bit obsessed with midi rings I just find they look so dainty and delicate so I nipped into Topshop to get a couple because I saw they had such lovely designs on their website. I think they had both styles in both gold and silver.

MISSGUIDED

DRESS - £9.94 (inc. p&p)

Missguided have some really cool stuff in at the moment and I am so super excited for new season launches. I picked this simple black cut out detail skater dress in their sale just because I thought it will come in very handy over the next few months as a LBD, and it was such a bargain!

Okay so I think that's it fashion shopping-wise this month (well maybe) as all the shopping I'll now be doing will be in preparing for Uni in a few weeks (well that swung by quick!). I'm thinking of doing a University preparation post soon actually so stick around if you're interested in such things!
