★ NOVEMBER/DECEMBER WISHLIST! ★

Hey guys! 

It took me a while to realise that I'm seriously lacking in my winter wardrobe. All I have is Summer clothes! So I've conducted a wishlist of thinks that I'm really desperate for! I'm obsessed with Missguided at the moment... I've been browsing through their website soo much this past few weeks and fallen in love with a few of their pieces. I made my first ever Missguided order on Saturday for the most gorgeous T-shirt ever (and it's called Amelia! Bonus) which I'll put a picture of below. The most amazing thing is, I ordered it through Saver Delivery on Saturday, and it came on Monday! 


1. Topshop Coat - I am INLOVE with this coat! I saw it online and I was a bit unsure after seeing the clasps so I kind of forgot about it, but once I tried it on in the shop I was sold! I'm definitely going back to get this :D

2. Topshop Snood - I just think this is such a great staple item for Autumn and although £18 might seem a little bit pricey for a snood (for me anyway), it's thick, warm and seems really good quality!

3. Missguided Chelsea Boots - I've been dying to get some Chelsea Boots for soo long now. I was debating whether to get heeled ones or flat ones, but I thought that these ones with a small heel would be both dressed up and dressed down much more easily. 

4. River Island Jumper - I don't know what it is about this jumper but it just looks awesome! It also seems so snuggly and comfy :)

5. Barry M Lip Paint in Mulberry - I've been wanting to wear dark lipstick for ages but been too scared. I've had a kind of semi-dark purple that I've been wearing a lot lately and now I just can't get enough of dark lip colours!

6. Asos beanie - Beanies are another current obsession of mine, I love the furry pompom on this one: super cute!

7. Boohoo Polka Dot Skinny Jeans - These are super cool! I saw a pair similar to these in Topshop (I think??) a while ago but with teeny tiny love hearts as the polka dots. I've been scouring the internet and shops but I just can't find them - if anybody sees a pair let me know! :D 

Thanks for reading guys! Have you got a wishlist full of lovely clothes set out this Winter? :) XOXO

✿ Summer Dresses in October ✿

Hey! 

I know that a bunch of you are probably still grieving over the loss of Summer 2012... I know I am! Still, I absolutely LOVE Winter and Autumn.

For this outfit I decided I wanted to wear something that I wouldn't usually go for, and take an outfit that I would usually wear in the Summer then tweak it to fit this season.


Sorry for the horrific quality photos... (a reason why I hate winter... every night when I get in from school it's like a race against time to try and get everything together and photograph it before it starts going dark! Yep that's me, living life in the fast lane). I'm wearing this sun dress that I got for like a fiver from Primark last  summer. When I bought it, it kind of had a double-breasted look, with two rows of gold buttons down the top bit. However, in true Primark style, the buttons looked absolutely cheap and plastic-y so I just chopped them straight off. It looks SO much better now... who would have thought that just a few buttons would make such a difference? The bag I'm wearing is also from Primark - can I just say, I am INLOVE with this bag right now, I've been wearing this pretty much everyday since I got it a few weeks ago! It was only £4 and surprisingly hasn't broken yet, and it comes in Burgundy (the one I've got), Light Brown, Dark Brown (I think), Black and Bright Green. 
The pieces that really made this an autumn outfit for me was definitely the mohair knee-socks that I got from River Island and the Dark Purple cardigan that I got from Topshop. If it's particularly chilly where you are, you could put some skin tights (or layer up a few pairs as they're not as thick as black tights... I can see me doing this trick loads this winter!) under the knee socks. I also wore it with some big quilted Winter boots that I got from the dodgy markets on the -1 floor under my shopping centre for £30! I got these last year when I went there to get some thread and ribbon, and it's the first (and so far, last... it's pretty hard to find good stuff from there) piece of clothing I've ever bought from there.
