Summer Lovin': High Street Favourites #11

Happy Tuesday!
So on this extremely dull summers day I thought there's nothing like a bit of online shopping to help ease the harsh reality that our summer may of already come and gone! For those of you who aren't from the UK we get about 5 or 6 days of hot weather here which for me is enough, my body has become immune to the cold hence my love for anything autumnal! I'm all for the baggy jumpers, black jeans and a sassy little hat and scarf combo to get me on my way.  Looking out of my living room window right now is making me ridiculously envious of you lucky little buggers going away this summer so I thought I'd get back into the swing of things with another high street favourites post for ya'll!



Paisley Midi Skirt - River Island
Khaki Sleeveless Blazer - New Look
Khaki Wrap Cami - Miss Selfridge
Cat Eye Sunglasses - Miss Guided
Pointed Snake Skin Heels - Public Desire
Rounded Shoulder Bag - H&M
Printed Tote Bag - River Island

If any of you know me you'll know I'm not a big advocate of colour in my wardrobe even though I try and try.. hence the not so bright summer colours! I'd say these picks are definitely for a summers evening or when that make believe of mine boyfriend takes mefor a romantic meal on the sea front..
That paisley skirt just gives me shivers up my spine thinking about my love for it!

Hope i've given you a lil' help with choosing some pieces for your summer wardrobe.

Valentines Day: High Street Favourites #10

Is it just me that has to pick their jaw up off the floor after realizing that January is coming to an end? How is it February already? I'm pretty sure it was like a week ago that everybody was celebrating New Year and starting that 'new year, new me' malarky. To kick off this month I thought I'd put together a little collection of my favourite valentines day pieces that i've seen online and on the high street. These aren't necessarily matching just a few little things that have caught my eye!

Back to December: High Street Favourites #9

Good morning! 
I've been in such a good mood recently and I can't think of a reason why, but all I know is I hope I can stay like this during the next few weeks! I think it could be me getting into the festive spirit, I started my Christmas shopping and the thought of buying presents for other people and the look on their face when they open them has got to be one of my favourite parts of Christmas! Everything is starting to come together and I know that as soon as Christmas is over, it'll be the New Year and the thought of the unknown makes me extremely excited, these past 12 months have been some of the most exciting, upsetting, craziest times of my life and even though a lot has changed next year will bring me new and more exciting things! So a lot to look forward to.. roll on 2015!!

I haven't done a high street favourites post in a few weeks but I'm back now and I have a bajillion ideas running through my head for new blog posts and oohhh it's just very very titillating!

Back To Uni: High Street Favorites #7

Short and sweet post for you today..
For some of you more my age it might be time for you to go back to uni and we all know what that means.. NEW CLOTHES (eep)

Unfortunately for me I don't go to uni so I don't get the perks of the NUS card, student lock ins and an almighty student loan, I don't know whether to cry now or later. But for those of you that have just got their loans, don't buy books.. buy clothes haha! Do it for the people like me that have to slave away for £5 something an hour (I weep)
So I thought I'd base this weeks high street favorites on a few things I've been looking at over the past few days!

Enjoyyyyy....

Box Backpack - New Look
Grey Crop Top - Topshop
Flatform Boots - Bank

My Autumn Staples 2014

Hello again beautifuls!
Wellllll guess who's back! This time with my autumn staples for this year. This post was inspired by a recent shopping spree (oopsy) when I went it into Liverpool City Centre with my cousin. I may of slightly ventured into the shops on Church Street and picked up a few things for my a/w wardrobe! eeeepp

My first staple is definitely polar necks. Now, I don't mean the polar necks that are wrinkled around your neck and come up to your chin. I bought this gorgeous ribbed striped top from Forever 21 for a wonder £10.50 & I absolutely love it! It's slightly cropped so I've decided on wearing it like the model >> with some high waist black jeans or maybe a black skater skirt, black tights and a pair of ballet pumps. I think this style of top is going to be huge this season, I mean you can never have enough stripey tops and polar necks in your life can you!? 
If you want this for your a/w wardrobe, get it - Here.

My next staple has got to be a good old sturdy pair of boots! I've been searching the high street for a proper pair that won't break the second I step out the door and also ones that will go with practically everything! I come across these little beauties from New Look, sadly I haven't bought them yet but come my next pay day they'll be mine *cue the evil laugh* 
Now they are plain, but I can definitely see them bringing an outfit together! If you fancy buying them for a delightful £29.99, get them - Here!

Well you're going to need a new bag for the new season, it's only right! I find myself around autumn/winter looking at over-sized slouchy bags to go with my baggy top, skinny jeans and my 'I don't care, I'm cosey' type of look. It's hard to find a bag that you won't get annoyed carrying round which is the case with most bags :( 
Which is why I'm still searching for the perfect one. Don't you worry though, oh no! I've got my eye on what I think is a perfect bag for autumn/winter and that is this b-e-a-utiful tan bag courtesy of River Island! The best thing is, it's only £32, and for me.. that's a bargain! If you're searching for a new bag and want this one, get it - Here!

If you don't own a baggy jumper to help you through the cold months then you're doing this whole thing wrong! Now it is hard to find one that won't irritate you and make you want to pull your birthday suit off which is why I always go for a ribbed knitted jumper that won't make me itch! I've been looking at this one for a few days now and decided that it's definitely one for my winter wardrobe. The color is on point and it would go so effortlessly with a pair of black skinny jeans and those black boots! 
(You'll start to see a theme in my posts that through winter I loves me my black skinnies!)
Where else are you going to find a good quality jumper that won't cost you an arm and a leg, why.. none other than Topshop! Get this jumper Here for £38 :)

Last but not certainly not least, probably my favorite part of an autumn outfit.. a good old dark lipstick to tie it all together! I've currently been loving 'Twig' by MAC (I wrote a review here if you'd like to have a nose) but it's not dark enough for my liking! Last year my favorite lipstick for this season was probably 'The Damned' or 'Inhibition' by Topshop so if I fail to find one that matches those, they'll be getting re-purchased for this year! Now normally I don't really suit berry type of colors and red-ish tones but I'm trying my hardest to step out of my comfort zone but it's definitely proving more difficult than I thought! My mum always says.. 'stick to what you know'.

Let me know your autumn/winter staples below!

BACK TO SCHOOL! High Street Favorites #5

Welcome back!

Can I just say, It's fricking September? W H A T How is that even possible??
I would do anything to be able to say "I go back to school this week", trust me.. growing up isn't all that fun! Instead it's all "urgh I'm in work this week".
So seeing as some of you lucky people are going back this week I thought I'd put together my school essentials for those of you starting college or sixth form, just because most of them allow you to wear your own clothes! Just a quick reminder as well, don't over-do it on the whole 'IM FINALLY ALLOWED TO WEAR MAKEUP TO SCHOOL' thing because trust me, you'll be bored after about 2 days when you're having to wake up like 30/40 minutes earlier just to make yourself look presentable, me personally.. I'd rather spend those precious minutes in bed!


High Waisted Jeans - Miss Guided
Black Boots - River Island
Green Tote Bag - New Look
Black Raglan Top - Topshop
White Slogan Jumper - River Island
Khaki Parker - New Look
Skater Shoes - BooHoo
Black Running Trainers - River Island

Hope you've enjoyed this post and remember school isn't the worst thing in the world haha! Let me know what you're planning on wearing for your return to college or sixth form.

Autumn is like the Sunday of Summer: High Street Favorites #4

Back again with my 4th installment of the 'High Street Favorites' and I think this one is probably my favorite.. if that makes sense, I know they're all favorites but this one is at the top for me at the moment! I adore everything on it. I chose all quite minimalist colors for this just because I love my Autumn wardrobe to be quite subtle and not really bright and in your face, that's what Summer's for I think! I'm definitely hoping to get most of these things just because every single one of them suits my style so well!

Leather Jacket - Topshop
Mini Messenger Bag - ZARA
Leather Ankle Boots - ASOS
Plaid Shirt - New Look
Smock Dress - MissGuided
Black Mini Skirt - River Island
Rhinestone Necklace - ZARA

I think I've possibly fell in love with everything on this post, especially that leather jacket, round of applause for Topshop! *clapping hands emoji*
Let me know if any of these tickle your fancy!

The Perfect Summer Kimono: New Look Edition!

Hey guys!
Just a small post from me today, I recently went on shopping trip into Liverpool city center with my friend Becca and went into New Look. Now usually I walk straight past New Look because I think of it as a hit and miss shop, meaning that the majority of the time I go in, look in one section and walk back out because I cant find anything that I like! But oh no, this time was different! I went in there just on the off chance that they may have any kimono's for me and my friend & oh boy did they deliver! They had so many in different colors and designs, some with tassels, others with long or short sleeves, they were all gorgeous & I finally decided on this monochrome aztec printed one after a good 25 minutes of debating with myself!



I absolutely love it!
It was an absolute bargain as well, costing me just £24.99 - you can buy it Here if you wish! (take a look at the others as well while you're there!)

I wore this recently on a night out with a pair of black leggings and a black cropped cami top. I don't think you need to wear a lot of patterns or bright colors when wearing a kimono like this because of the bold print!

Hope you've enjoyed this little post.
