Checked Neutrals

Oooh it has been a while! (Outfit post wise). I just haven't been in the mood stand in the freezing cold. Yes, it's getting brighter, but that chill just won't let up! I'm really trying to post frequently as I absolutely love blogging, and I refuse to let work get in the way of my passion!

Ever since London Fashion Week, it's like I've really come into myself, fashion-wise. I know what I want to wear, and I'm going to wear it! I picked up these gorgeous relaxed trousers from Zara recently, and ugh, they're perfect. Actually, not entirely perfect. There's some very unfortunate stitching on the crotch that's driving me insane, but other than that, they're amazing. They're super thick, soft, and soooo comfortable.

Speaking of London Fashion Week, I picked up this Kim K style coat to wear for the occasion from Miss Pap. I definitely recommend sizing up as although it's quite a relaxed coat, the arms are pretty snug. It's fairly thin, yet it manages to shield me from the cold which was quite surprising!

Now I may be getting ahead of myself, but Spring/Summer is fast approaching and I'm starting to grab myself some new sandals. The latest in my collection are all cross strap mules and I'm obsessed. I spotted these from the Missguided SS/15 event pictures and knew they had to be mine. I love the metallic gold strap entwined with the glossy black one! The heels is only a small block one, so comfort isn't being sacrificed with these babies, and I could spend all day in them!

KIM K SHOES - COMFY EDITION

I'm quite surprised I haven't featured this coat previously, as I've had it since the end of last year! It's a coat I'd been after for so long, waiting for the day it was reduced in price, as I couldn't justify spending £90 on yet ANOTHER coat. I ended up purchasing it in the 'tall' version as it was cheaper than the regular, and it hasn't really been a problem! Obviously, the regular version went down further shortly after, but me being me, I just couldn't wait! I sized down in this, and I really should have sized down again as it's huuuuuge, but I'm not complaining as it's super snuggly.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know that Kim Kardashian has been taking the fashion world by storm recently, with everyone lusting after her gorgeous knitted two-pieces, oversized camel coats, and of course, her incredibly fabulous lace-up heels. They're slowing creeping into all of our favourite high street stores, and online favourites, meaning they've become super accessible, and super affordable. Now, I'm not 'heels during the day' kind of girl, but a chunky heel is something I can definitely work with. When Megan Ellaby, (ASOS stylist, and fashion blogger), posted a picture of these on Twitter, it was a 'straight in the basket' kind of thing. I've worn these out already, and they're SO comfy. Who knew you could get Kim K's style, AND be comfortable?
My coat and shoes are doing all of the talking here, so I popped on my favourite ripped jeans, and basic striped tee. I was concerned my bag would blend in with the coat, but I think it looks okay! Grafea's are always gonna look good, let's be serious.

AUTUMN VIBES

A couple of weeks ago, I placed an overdue order on Fashion Union and I purchased quite a few autumnal pieces! I'm currently struggling to not only afford all of the beautiful items being thrust upon my eyes, but to find space for them too! I'm in the process of getting my bedroom re-done so I'm able to fit more of my clothes in, but I could probably do with a walk-in-wardrobe, and that's just for coats!
As I was saying, I picked up a few autumnal pieces from Fashion Union, and I'm pleased that they're stocking some cute seasonal two-pieces! It was a tough decision between this one, and a green zig-zag set, but I was swayed by the more earthly shades. I'd be incredibly surprised if you hadn't seen this coat knocking about the blogging world as yes, it's the famous 'Kim Kardashian' Missguided camel coat! I purchased this as soon as it was released on to the website, and I absolutely adore it. It truly is very Kim, and the lack of hardware/buttons makes it look so chic. I decided to play on the more neutral colours with this look, and with camel being super on-trend this season, it was quite an obvious choice!
Both my hat and my shoes are from Primark. The hat is a very recent purchase whilst I was doing a bit of retail therapy in Manchester! I've wanted a camel fedora/floppy hat for absolutely ages, but the only one I ever liked was from American Apparel, and lets face it, I'm no millionaire.. so spotting this was like hitting the jackpot! My shoes are 'the' chunky shoes which sold out almost immediately! When I first bought them, I got very little wear out of them because I was on a black chunky shoe high, but they're definitely making their way back into my staple wardrobe! My bag is an oldie but goodie from H&M, cheap and cheerful! Everyone needs a simple black bag.. I just wish mine was a Grafea, haha!

A MISSGUIDED SPRING LOOK

It's no big news that i'm a sucker for a two-piece, and it's Missguided who i'm holding responsible for fuelling my addiction! No other place does a two-piece quite like Missguided. All boxes are ticked for me. Pastels? Yep. Affordable? Yep. Surprisingly, I haven't mentioned my (slightly OTT) obsession with the Kardashians on here yet, however if you know me personally, you'll know.. you'll just know. I spotted this two-piece on Ellie Mack's instagram and almost immediately bought it myself. It's SO Kim K. I can't tell you the amount of times I've seen her rocking a ribbed two-piece and failed to find one myself. They do it in cream aswell which I have my eye on very closely!
A few months back before I began posting my outfits, I uploaded my coat collection consisting of around 6 or 7 coats. Let me just say, that collection has grown, and in beautiful pastel shades! One of my favourite colours is lilac, and as pastels are so popular at the moment, it's super easy for me to get a hold of pretty lilac pieces! I obviously had to buy this coat, it's officially my Spring coat, and with 10% off my order, it was an absolute steal.
I've seen so many bloggers wearing these white chunky heels recently, and i've had mine collecting dust in the box since Christmas as a) they're too pretty to wear, (weird, I know), and b) I haven't had the opportunity too! They go perfectly with these soft pastels, and I most certainly will be taking the plunge and wearing them more often!
