Vinyl Mod.

Top - Bershka
Skirt - Primark
Tights - Primark
Jacket - Charity Shop (£5)
Shoes - Primark
Hat - Zara
Jewellery - Forever 21 and ASOS

'That is a very shiny skirt.'
That is probably what you're thinking and I'm inclined to agree with you.
I didn't think I would be the person to jump on to the vinyl trend bandwagon, but I've just taken my seat and it feels good.  I did want to try out this trend, but I didn't want to pay a lot of money and not wear it.  This particular skirt was a steal at £12 from Primark.  It's really flattering and it can be worn either way, (for instance, I'm actually wearing it back to front).  I did wish that it was longer and I do regret not sizing up.  But if you intend on standing for hours on end and making no sudden movements - this is the skirt for you.  I decided to team this with a cropped white fluffy jumper.  Jumper season is well and truly upon us and I am very excited.  Nothing quite beats snuggling in to a big fluffy jumper.  I threw on my new jacket/blazer from the charity shop.  Again, I wanted to try out the check trend, but I knew that grey was not an option for me.  I was very excited when I found this in the charity shop for only a fiver.  It is oversized and the shoulder pads are HUGE, but once I take them out, I think this will be a wardrobe staple for the season.  I topped off the look with these Chloe inspired studded shoes.  The star studding gives a nod to the western trend, that is showing itself for the upcoming seasons.  I added this checkered hat, which I love but I don't really know if it suits me.  I'll let you be the judge of that.  The cherry earrings and clear choker are a must for this ensemble.  I've been after a pair of cherry earrings since before s/s started, and now finally, ASOS has made all my dreams come true.
This outfit was completely spur of the moment, but I do love the sixties mod vibes, but adding the eighties, with the shoulder pads.
Does anyone have a time machine??

Elle Woods.

 
Top - Zara
Skirt - New Look
Tights - Primark
Coat - H&M
Shoes - Charity Shop (£5)
Bag - Charity Shop (£3.50)
Earrings - New Look

I feel like Elle Woods in this outfit.
All I need now is Bruiser Woods and I'll be happy.
Firstly, before I talk about this outfit, I want to just say one thing.  Please ignore the roll where I didn't pull the jumper down properly.  I didn't realise until much later, so please do ignore that.
Anyway.
This pink ensemble was born out of the imagination of my sister.  While planning our Disneyland outfits, Charlie caught sight of this top and skirt and insisted I'd wear them together - so I did.  This fluffy jumper style top is a new addition from Zara.  It is the perfect amount of fluffy and the pale colour is amazing.  I teamed it with my trusty pleather skirt, which I love wearing when the weather gets colder.  It just adds oomph to any outfit.  I teamed it with a pair of tights and these chunky embellished shoes.  Fun fact about these shoes, I bought this for a fiver from the charity shop.  This was months after I had nearly bought them on ASOS for four times the price.  They are surprisingly comfy and the embellishment is a fun aspect.  I thought I would round off this outfit with a pair of jewelled earrings and my 'Chanel' bag.
The 'cherry on top' aspect of this outfit, is this BEAUTIFUL and incredibly fluffy coat from H&M.  This coat gave me so much trouble, and that's before I even owned it.  It was on of those pieces that I had seen advertised and knew I needed it.  When I finally found it online, it was completely sold out.  None of the shops around me stocked it and I thought that was it.  While away for the weekend, I had noticed it had come back in stock in my size.  I quickly ordered it, but unfortunately, a few hours later I got an email informing me that my order was cancelled.  I kept an eye on it, until one day it came back in stock.  I ordered it and a few days later, this dream coat was mine.  It weighs an absolute ton, but it is indeed, fantastic.
Moral of the story - don't give up on your fashion dreams!
I think this also confirms that I am addicted to pink.

Metallic Parisian.

Jumper - H&M
Jeans - ASOS
Shoes - New Look
Hat - Topshop

Hello there, long time no see!
It has been a year and a half since I last posted on here.
How fast time flies and yet it feels like it's been longer!!
I spontaneously decided today to pop back and show you what I have been wearing lately.
I just want to have a minutes appreciation for this jumper - isn't it amazing?
I had to hunt down this jumper in London and it's the best thing I have ever done.
This is a fabulous knit, from the big roll neck to the glitter throughout.  It's a longline design, so it would work perfectly as a dress, as well as a jumper.  I rolled up the jumper in the last photo, to show the different ways it can be worn.  I decided to team it with a new pair of high waist culotte jeans from ASOS, which I love.  The blue denim colour and the vintage high waist, is the best combination.  To top off the ensemble, I popped on one of my signature berets that I picked up in the sale last autumn/winter.  I finished off the look with my metallic gold mules, and although they look good, they are so uncomfortable.
This is just an everyday casual outfit for me.  
The best part, is that you can easily wear this as a Christmas outfit.
Is it Christmas yet?

Until next time.
