Mellow Monday #2

So here we are again, it's Monday, albeit a Bank Holiday in the UK which softens the blow a little bit. Yet again, I'm still my usual emotional self but glad that last week is over and done. Onwards and upwards!

 Five happy things that are occuring at the moment:

- I finished my resits last week (hurrah) which means not only can I chill out before I go back to university, I can also focus fully on blogging! 

- I run my first ever 10k in just under 2 weeks and although I'm terrified, I'm super excited to run a proper race along side so many others

- I get hair boredom nearly everyday so am currently deciding whether to get an undercut shaved into my hair, exactly what Ellie has here! Let me know what your thoughts, I only have one more year left to rebel at uni before I have to 'calm down' so it seems as perfect time as any!

- On Saturday, I fly out to Jersey to my two girlfriends to stay with my other girlfriend on holiday! I haven't managed a proper holiday this summer so I'm really looking forward to getting away from real life and spending time with my favourites.

- Lastly, I'm quite glad the weather has gone a bit miserable as I can fully embrace the best trend of Autumn/Winter, Normcore! The most simple, yet effective trend, as a girl who loves a pair of jeans, this trend is basically me reincarnated.

Happy Monday guys :-) 

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! 

A/W Trends 14/15

Summer's not even over yet and I'm already lusting towards next seasons trends. I find Autumn/Winter so much easier to dress in, layering is one of my favourite things ever and I don't like warm weather really. So I thought I'd do a post on some of my top trends of next season.

NORMCORE

Normcore is the most simple of trends. Less truly is more for this look and although it has been described as bland or boring, I think there is nothing better than a look purely focusing on simple lines. I don't like colour so this trend is perfect for me, wholely focusing on neutrals and monochrome. The main idea of normcore is to look normal and and focus on simple items such as polo necks and trainers, almost returning to the 90's.

OFF-DUTY BLANKET DRESSING

Since Suki Waterhouse rocked a blanket cape at Burberry, this has become the next big craze. Whether you rock a full on blanket type coat, or just take elements of the trend through a oversized woal coat, this trend is sure to be massive this Winter. Everything goes bigger, from fur to knits, almost making me want the cold weather to come sooner!

MONASTIC

Lastly, a similar trend to Normcore but luxe becomes king and those one off luxury pieces will certainly carry you through A/W 14/15. Whether its a statement coat or blazer, ensure to have one stand out item in your wardrobe to spice up any outfit, for both everyday and nights out. 

Hope you liked my view of my top trends of A/W, let me know what trends are getting you excited for next season and how you plan to rock them!
