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!

Blogger girls! Do any of you have trouble with locations to shoot your pictures? Either you shoot in the same space and they're getting too 'samey', or you simply can't find any suitable locations without travelling for exceptional amounts of time? You'll have seen, I'd gotten quite comfortable shooting in the somewhat 'unusual' location of a farmhouse, but not only was I getting a little sick of the prying eyes from surrounding houses, I was getting sick of editing the same old shoots, nothing really stood out to me, or excited me.. so how could I expect my readers to be interested?
I've been doing a lot of thinking about my blog recently, and the direction I want to take. I really want to explore with locations, and of course my style, so hopefully I bring more creative, exciting content to you all! I'm definitely looking at renovating my blog layout etc, so if anyone has any recommendations on how to go about it, I'd love to know!
Admittedly, this isn't my favourite of locations, and not entirely what I had in mind, but it's a start!
With that out of the way, on to the outfit!
I've been following Fashion Union for a long, long time now, and I finally ordered a bunch of new pieces from them! One of them was this super cute shift dress which I spotted on one of my lovely blogger friends Nicky Houghton. It looked absolutely stunning on her, so I decided to pick it up myself in the hope I looked half as good! (PS, if you haven't already seen her, go and check out her blog! Such a sweetheart with uh-mazing style).
I would recommend to size down in this dress, as although it's a shift dress, it comes up a little big! I put a belt with this to cinch it in at the waist, and paired it with some cute knee-high socks from my high school days. I popped on my duster coat and creepers so not to draw any attention away from the dress!
I have another post ready for you guys with an even better location, so hopefully I'll be upping my game! Let me know what you think though, do you get bored of seeing bloggers shoot in the same places?
