Zara A/W Wishlist

Drawstring Trousers | Blue Slogan Tee | Doctor's Bag | Lace Top | Midi Dress | Leather Tote | Black Slogan Tee | Lace Embroidered Maxi Dress 

So hey guys, I'm back after my brief hiatus due to university obligations and I thought I'd kick it off again with a lovely wistful wishlist post for Zara.

Me and Zara, our friendship has been brief but beautiful and now they've started stocking their A/W stock, I'm very happy indeed. My current basket equals £144 and if I wasn't going away this Friday, I probably would have already ordered the lot. But we both know I will end up ordering something so I will keep you informed!

My top picks from Zara at the moment are:

- Drawstring Trousers, I recently realised that I don't own any grey trousers and this has greatly upset me and I feel it needs to be altered ASAP. This pair as just enough casual to get away with at university but I could easily dress up with a pair of heels.

- Blue Slogan Tee, Zara do tee's so well, I can't resist stocking up in some classic slogan ones.

- Doctor's Bag, I actually study Computer Science at University and am thus needed to bring my laptop onto campus most days and I feel this bag would be able to carry all my crap plus laptop so basically it's a uni essential?! Right...

- Lace Top, can't really bet a black lace top, perfect to dress up a pair of jeans if you need a quick evening outfit.

- Midi Dress, I've only recently braved the midi due to my short legs and now can't resist anything of the midi length, especially if it has a slogan printed across it.

 - Leather Tote, this is my other chosen university bag, cheaper but doesn't seem as sturdy as the Doctor's bag, but would add a dash of colour into my universally black wardrobe.

- Black Slogan Tee, another slogan tee to boot, of course there had to be a black tee in this wishlist.

- Lace Embroidered Maxi Dress, I have lusted over this dress for months and months and although it would have been perfect for summer, I totally think it would be workable in the Autumn months with leather jacket or even duster coat.

Wishlist's always end up in me convincing myself I need all these items and with a shopping trip to Manchester coming my way on Tuesday, I may return with a few of these pieces, to be continued... 

It's haul o'clock!

Desert Boots - Topshop | Metallic Trousers - H&M | Tee - H&M | Shirt - H&M | Culottes - Topshop | Bangle - Topshop

So I thought I'd move away from ASOS for a little bit and focus on some other stores that have been rocking my shopping world recently. Now I look at these photos, I'm shocked and stunned to see there is no black items included, seeing as I'm going through a bit of a Mortica Addams phase. 

I'm very much feeling neutral colours at the moment, especially as my current style choices revolve around Normcore. I've always wanted a pair of desert boots and when they were going for a tenner online on Topshop, how could I turn them away? They're surprisingly comfy as I always struggle with Topshop shoes and provide a dash of warmth to my usually cool colour scheme. The culottes were a spur of the moment purchase, and now the sun has run away so lord knows when I'll get to wear them. Maybe with a long sleeved jumper and duster coat, topped up with a fedora? Ooh I've just convinced myself!

H&M are so on point right now, and I've already featured both the trousers and shirt in outfit posts as they're too delicious for me to stay away from! Check out the trousers here and shirt here. I don't have many grey tees, surprisingly, so decided to invest in a nice slogan tee that will look good with jeans, trousers and shorts! 

So there's my ill gotten gains! Apologises for the lack of outfit posts, currently drowning in computing revision (uni is fun) but I will be back from Friday most likely but don't hold me to that!

So today I found out that taking outfit photographs on a really windy day is not the best idea in the world. So do excuse my weave in these photographs, we tried out best to control it. 

This week I decided to bite the bullet and finally wear my white jeans outside of the house. Now I've always stayed far away from colourful/patterned jeans due to my cyclist thighs but I couldn't stay away any longer. I love a neutral colour scheme and this outfit ticks that box fully. As summer has decided it's bored of the North West, I added my favourite shaggy scarf to keep me from freezing and to add some darker tones into this relatively light ensemble and topped it all off with my life long best buddy, my fake leather jacket from H&M. 

I might be a bit off the grid over the next week as I have 2nd year resits (don't fail your exams kids) but I'm hoping to fit some outfit posts in around those exams (top student) PRAY FOR ME GUYS!
