The Girl in the Red Suit

Suit (Jacket & Trousers) - ASOS | Puma's - Schuh | T-shirt - New Look | Sunglasses - ASOS

Oh, third year you have not been kind to my blogging abilities. Terrible weather, a million deadlines & generally being incredibly busy has meant I've abandoned the blogging yet again. Here's another shot at consistent posting guys...

This outfit was actually shot about a month ago but I'm not terribly happy with the way the photographs turned out, seems the camera loves the car more than it loves me... But I do adore this suit more than life itself and I couldn't resist sharing it red glory any longer. All I wanted was a colour block suit and unfortunately I cannot to buy a full price so I bided my time in the Christmas sales to mis-match these two pieces together to 'make' a suit. Finished off with a plain white tee and my Pumas, I was ready for the world although I don't know if Lancaster will ever be ready for this beauty...

Sports Casual

Ribbed Jumper - ASOS | Jeans - ASOS | Sunglasses - ASOS | Pumas - Schuh

I'm currently working with UNiDAYS and their blog team to do a few posts on how to wear jeans without feeling boring, so here is my first instalment!

The key thing about dressing for university, is being comfy. Sometimes I can be on campus from 9am to 9pm and there's nothing worse than being cold/uncomfortable/unhappy in what you're wearing. That is why jeans really are your best friends at university. In today's outfit, I combined them with a ribbed jumper with a cheeky side spilt to make things a bit different and my new favourite footwear, my Pumas. I really like the combination of sports and classic cut items, I think it looks really presentable and well thought out.

My jeans are ASOS Whitby's, which are my favourite ASOS jeans and you can use that UNiDays discount on too...

So there is instalment number 1, look out for the next piece in the new few days!

Pink Lady

Pink Biker Jacket - ASOS Petite | Jumper - H&M | Leather Trousers - New Look | Trainers - Zara | Sunglasses - ASOS

So I gave in and bought myself a pink coat. I blame Instagram and the blogging world, influencing me to buy these things I clearly don't need but so heavily want. And what a perfect day for it to arrive, on Bonfire Night! This is what I'll be wearing to go watch the fireworks this evening, with a few more layers and more appropriate footwear of course!

I think pink and white always go so well together and now my hair is white I couldn't turn down the opportunity to invest in one, its super snuggly and warm and a nice change from my monochrome coat collection, certainly adds a pop to my outfits! I paired it with my new leather trousers I bought this weekend in London, they're so warm and look so cool, perfect for this cold Autumn days were having at the present. Topped with TWO jumpers, yes you did read two and my normcore white trainers to finish off the colour clash and I was ready as I'll ever be. 

What do you guys think of the pink coat trend?

Knee High Behaviour

Camel Coat - Next | Jumper - H&M | Peplum Skirt - H&M | Knee High Boots - JustFab

Knee high boots are one of the biggest trends of this Autumn/Winter so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I bought these boots from the most amazing website called JustFab where you pay monthly for a bargain of shoes but as a first time customer you get 50% off so they only cost me 17 quid! I feel a bit Pretty Woman in them but I think they look okay. Let me know what you guys think. 

I teamed the boots with my favourite camel coat and jumper, a perfect match to my hair! Today was quite warm for October and Lancaster so I dared to bare my legs to make a full impact in these boots. I really like this outfit, its a good transition into full on winter fashion.

How would you style these boots? Would you like me to do a series of how to wear posts?

Ribbed Jumper - Oh My Love | High Waisted Jeans - New Look | Pointed Heels - ASOS

Hey guys, winter has well and truly hit the UK by storm today, which I see as a blessing as I can finally LAYER UP. Not that I don't love having bare legs and wearing my skirts all day long, there's nothing better than snuggling up in a million and one layers. This jumper was a Christmas sale buy from Topshop, I've never owned anything from Oh My Love before but I have to say, the zipped elbows and the ribbed knit, it certainly makes my top ten jumpers. 

Paired with my favourite jeans and the jazziest shoes I'll possibly ever own, this outfit is October ready! You may have also noticed, my hair is noticeably lighter/whiter/bigger as this weekend I gave in to my demons and attempted to achieve white hair goodness. A few purple shampoo treatments, and I should be there!

Shoes are a Girls Best Friend

Mule Loafers - Topshop | Leather Pointed Boots - ASOS | Black Boots - ASOS

Gola Trainers - ASOS | Croc Snakeskin Flatform - Topshop

So you must know by now that I really like shoes. Shiny, patent, boots, trainers, loafers. Basically I have a massive shoe addiction, which became really apparent when I had to choose which ones to take to uni! Not that stops me from making a shoe wishlist...

I mostly buy my shoes from ASOS (surprise) and Topshop and their footwear are on form this Autumn/Winter. I love any mule type shoe and these silver mule loafers are like my dream shoe combo, and what could be better than a shoe that doesn't rub your ankle?! As Winter is kicking in, I obviously need another pair of boots... These two are my top picks, pointed shoes are the best and so so flattering to any outfit, they elongate legs and everything. I love leather but there's something about the ponte material with the snakeskin tips that makes me really happy. Trainers are still super in and fit so well with the 90's normcore trend and these Gola ones are very similar to the Adidas Stan Smith's, but for only £20! Lastly, these Topshop flatforms are SO similar to the Stella MacCartney flatforms, but for a bargain £35, how can I refuse?!

What shoes are you feeling this A/W?
