Fringe X Leather

White Shirt - Topshop | Fringe Leather Skirt - Topshop | Contrast Boots - Topshop | Sunglasses - ASOS

Wow, you know sometimes you don't realise that you might have a shopping problem when nearly every bit of your outfit is from Topshop... Yeah that. I love fringe this season, I own two very different fringe skirts which I adore and I am queen of not wearing colour and this is a perfect example of me doing that. 

Today, I submitted my last ever piece of coursework so I really really done with university education now! Unless I have managed to fail my exams again... But we shall see! So now I am preparing for Parklife this weekend and then Venice the weekend after :D so if anyone has any tips or top places to see in Venice please comment below

Flarin' Hell

Denim Shirt - Primark | Flared Jeans - ASOS | Heeled Boots - New Look 

So I did it. I joined the hordes of bloggers wearing flares this season and oh my god does it feel good! As a 5'2 gal, anything that lengthens my legs and makes them look skinny to boot ticks every box for me. I'm loving teaming together different denims too, so I mix and matched blue and black denim with the jeans and the shirt. I love the old half tuck aswell, making the whole look a bit more casual and interesting than usual. 

My friends and boyfriend definitely hate these jeans, but I'm not sending them no chance. 

What do you think of the flare craze, let me know!

Shirts Are Forever

Stripe Shirt - GAP | Culottes - ASOS | Pointy Sandals - ASOS | Sunglasses - ASOS 

One of the best things in life is when an item you previously bought, and previously hated, you start to love. This stripe shirt was a steal many years ago from a charity shop, but originally from GAP. Shirts are amazing things that when worn with jeans, can automatically look smart and ready for the day but not too smart. This kind of stripe is everywhere at the moment, in Topshop, Zara & ASOS so I thank my younger self for having the savviness to pick this up years ago. 

Now we all know about my love affair with culottes, and these are my favourites. So different to the classic culotte seen around at the moment, so elegant they'd work with a plain tee but also with a shirt. Sorry guys, I'm not gonna stop featuring them!

My shoes are beauties from ASOS which actually broke first time but of course, ASOS & their amazing service kindly replaced them so I was not bereft for very long! I love any shoe with a good point in the toe, just feels much classy and anything helps when you have short legs like me!

White Shirt 101

Sunglasses - ASOS | White Shirt - H&M | Shorts - New Look | Slip On's - ASOS | Bag - Zara 

Another outfit showing off the benefits of owning a white shirt. I love the classic look of wearing all white so decided to give it a stab by teaming these white shorts with my shirt. All white isn't something I usually go for, being so pale and blonde but I think by teaming it with black accessories I've managed to pull it off. Using my dream Zara bag again, and my favourite comfy shoes, I think this outfit is perfect for going into the city for lunch or on holiday during the day when keeping cool is the ultimate aim. And as the weather starts to get colder, this look can easily be brought into Autumn by adding a duster coat or leather jacket.

I'm currently away on holiday but will reply to all comments on my return.

It's haul o'clock!

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!
