Ripped Jeans and a Spring Coat

This look is super casual and 'Spring-y' as it was an absolutely gorgeous day when the pictures were shot! I can't say much about the weather now, but these images certainly have me yearning for the warmer months. 
I actually wore a very similar look to this to London Fashion Week, switching the jumper for a stripe tee, and the camel coat to a camel duster. I got this jacket in the mail recently from Naanaa Clothing, and it's even better in person. The material is so light, but it hangs like an absolute dream. (Quite bouncy, if that makes sense?). As it's in a very neutral shade, it goes with most of my wardrobe, and will easily see me through the warmer weather.
I'm not sure if I've already featured these jeans before, but they're my ultimate favourites. I must have mentioned in previous posts, but Miss Pap literally do the best jeans.. EVER. They're so stretchy and soft, yet the feel like good hardwearing jeans. A rarity these days, as most are thin and lack shape after some time. 
After getting a little sick of lugging around huge bags with me everywhere, I decided to invest in a couple of smaller bags, just for the essentials. I picked this one up in H&M for only £12.99, and I now own it in black too! (PS, both of them are on sale for £7..whaaaaaat).

Slouchy Silhouettes

Today's post is involving a favourite 'go-to' style of mine, slouchy! Comfort is key for my outfits, so the fact that the 'relaxed look' is in is great! I can pass off what I once called 'hobo chic' as 'fashion'.

I've been wearing this jumper to death since I bought it, literally it's my favourite jumper in the whole world. H&M never fail to please me when it comes to a good roll neck, and this is no exception. 

I picked up these trousers in the ASOS sale a while back, and again, I wear these all the time. Whilst they're a little big on me, they're super comfy. Definitely a good pair of eating pants, if you know what I mean.

I wanted to add a pop of colour to this outfit, and staying with the comfortable theme, I went for my Reeboks that my boyfriend bought me for Christmas. They actually match my hair, which is pretty cool! See, it wasn't completely random accessorising.

SPARKLY SUIT

Okay, so I suppose I should point this out before people think I haven't quite noticed..  Yes, I am fully aware that my hair is a completely failed attempt at blue-y green ombre. If it wasn't for the fact I've just answered the door to a magnificent Grafea delivery, I would be one grumpy lady. I do have a consultation at the hairdressers today, so fingers crossed I'm not stuck with mould hair for much longer! 
Moving on to the outfit, I purchased this as one of my options to wear on Christmas Day, but as the day arrived, I opted for comfy trousers and a t-shirt.. whoops. I couldn't not share it with you guys though as it's so pretty! The suit is from Pretty Little Thing, and is on sale for around £7.50 now.. eek! I almost want to purchase it again for that price! (I won't though.. that would be ridiculous).
My shoes are also from Pretty Little Thing, and are a fabulous addition to my growing fluffy-shoe collection. Let's hope they stay white! 
I'd had my eye on this sassy little clutch bag for absolutely ages, and after a lot of umm-ing and ah-ing, I decided to buy it, only to find it was out of stock! For some reason I randomly checked it again, and it was back in stock! (and on sale, might I add), so I obviously had to buy it. Does anyone else get more of an urge to buy something when it's out of stock? I think it's the child me in me wanting things I can't have! The bag itself isn't very spacious, but makes such a cute accessory.

SUIT UP

Since me and my boyfriend luckily had a day off together, he very kindly offered to shoot a few sets of pictures for me! Yay!  I brought my dog with me today, and he hated it, oops. He's not really an 'outdoorsy' dog, preferring the comfort of his own home with lots of warmth and snuggles. I don't blame him in this instance, the bitter cold was atrocious. We soldiered on, however!
I've had this Pretty Little Thing matching suit for a couple of weeks now, and it has been worn a little too much. It's my go-to outfit at the moment, and it's seen me through the Christmas Markets, a very exciting photoshoot with Branded Lab PR, a day's shopping, and numerous other occasions. It would be inappropriate of me not to show it to you all, as it's been such a favourite of mine. Although you can't see it because of my jumper, the trousers are high-waisted and incredibly flattering. I find it such an easy suit to wear as it consists of two very basic colours, therefore I can throw in any colour I like!
As it is undeniably cold, I paired suit with my new H&M jumper. I wasn't particularly pleased to be spending £30 on a jumper, but I went back to it on four different occasions, so obviously I couldn't leave it behind. 
I've really been loving Pretty Little Thing at the moment, and frequently find myself browsing all of their beautiful clothes. I made another purchase over the Black Friday weekend, and I'll be showing that in my next post!

SNOW LADY

After having such a horrid past week or so, this is cheering me up having the chance to blog a little!
With it being Black Friday, obviously work decided to put me in to work a 9-6, which meant I would be missing out on a LOT of shopping. Not on my watch! Yep, I spent my entire break mooching around the shops, searching for bargains. Much to my dismay, the offers were pretty poor, and I only purchased one thing, but I am in love with it. I picked up this snowy white coat from H&M. I'd actually spotted it before and regretted not buying it, so I jumped at the chance when I saw it dangling off a rail on it's own. Admittedly, it is a little too big for me, but nothing was going to stop me from buying it! I did receive a measly 10% off it, but for only £35 to begin with, there's not much to complain about.
As the coat is fairly lengthy, and I decided to have it tied, I didn't feel the need to wear any bottoms, (oops!), but I wore my well-loved roll-neck jumper I've had for years underneath for some additional warmth. I love the look of a roll-neck underneath a coat, it looks so 'chic', plus, it keeps you warm!
I've been obsessing over the fluffy heel trend ever since I saw the sneak-peeks from A/W14 press days, and now I own a nude pair, and these black ones from Linzi Shoes! These ones are so practical, (as practical as heels can be), as they zip up at the back, rather than having an awkward strap. It's a little sad how excited I was about that, haha! I love scrolling through all of the shoes on Linzi. They have so many pairs that I fall in love with, so affordable too!

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

As I've rabbited on about, I've been on the hunt for some new/unique locations for my blog pictures, and discovering this creepy, colourful surrounding called for an impromptu shoot!  I purchased this super sparkly crop top whilst browsing in Primark. I'm a sucker for anything holographic, shiny, sparkly.. you name it! My boyfriend thinks I'm like a magpie.. quite true actually! The price was a pleasant surprise at only £8, a pittance compared to the outrageous price tags in the likes of American Apparel! Since I wore the most simple outfit ever, I decided to jazz it up with the showy crop top, and my beloved Grafea. 
Unfortunately the coat hasn't come across as fabulous in these pictures as I'd have liked, but seriously girls, if you get the chance, head down to H&M and pick this baby up! I was so beyond shocked when I discovered it was only £24.99!! This is up there with the £90 Topshop coats, and I managed to track it down in my size in my local store after failing to in the Manchester branch! With a little help of 20% student discount, it would have been stupid to leave it behind.. regardless of the 1,000,000 coats I have already acquired this season. 
By the state of my hair, I'm sure you've all cottoned on that the weather wasn't particularly kind to me, so I do apologise for looking so poop. We did try to shelter underneath some lorry.. type.. thing.. but still ended up soaked anyway!

SPORTY COUNTRY GIRL

I've really been experimenting with my style recently, and I've purchased lots of items that are a little 'out-there' for me. I've always loved the look of tailored dungarees, but always found myself returning them after being too afraid to rock them in public, however, I've finally found a pair I love, yay!
These cropped dungarees were a bit of an impulse buy on Missguided, but I'm so pleased with them! The fit is perfect! It hugs me in all of the right places, and smooths over the, erm.. less desired places. I would have thought dungarees are more of a summer piece, but the print and colours of these make them 100% A/W proof. Like the model on the Missguided website, I'm wearing a plain white t-shirt underneath, but I have worn them with grey too, so there's lots of different colours you could pair it with!
I've had these New Balance for absolutely ages, and never have they matched an outfit more perfectly than this one. All of the colours are perfect! I now feel like I need to get more New Balance to match all of my outfits, who said fashion can't be practical too?
