q&a

"I'm looking for a Cardigan to go back to school and one to wear everyday. My uniform code is black. Could you help please?"

 So I thought I would do the everyday cardigans first. The ones I have chosen are wooly and nice and warm, as well as being able to go with a variety of different outfits. 

So the first cardigan is as you can tell very wooly and looks so warm and comfortable, as well as stylish and on trend. The ginger red colour is really pretty but it could be a problem because it may not go with a lot of things.

The second cardigan looks much better on a close up photo, so I suggest going on the website to look at this cardi because it really is stunning. The best thing about this one is that it should go with just about anything in your wardrobe as it is an off white colour and I love the detail of the shoulders.

The third is a very thick wooly cardi with cute wooden buttons. This would once again go with practically anything.

The last one is very cute and ditsy. I chose this because I love the skirt detail at the bottom, and I love the colour. If you have a lot of creams in your wardrobe then this would go lovely with them and it would also go lush with some light denim jeans.

My favourate cardigan is probably the third one. I love the old granny look to it and the black bits mixed with the taupe. Also the wooden buttons are gorgeous and gives the cardi a vintage and expensive look.

Knitted Diamond Stitch Cardi - Topshop - £42.00
Crochet Doiley Cardi - Miss Selfridge - £40.00
Knitted Textured Slouch Cardi - Topshop - £40.00
Mink Spot Hem Cardi - Miss Selfridge - £35.00

 Here are the cardigans that I picked for back to school. I tried not to pick boring or plain ones because you can get them easily from stores like new look or if your on a tight budget, Tesco or Asda because I've seen some cute ones there recently for amazing prices. For really nice plain ones though I recommend Zara. That's where I have always got my plain cardi's from (In my school, were not allowed anything on our jumpers or cardi's).

The first cardi is really unique, I've never seen feathers like this on the high street and it gives it a designer edge. So the cardi is quite simple but with the shoulder detail it makes it a bit special and I think if you had this cardi, you would have people asking you where it's from and how much they like it.

Second is a simple yet different cardi. I really like this and it looks so good on the model on the website, so just click on the link and take a look at how good it looks on. This could easily be worn for casual wear as well as school uniform.

Next is a cardi that I have seen on a person at my school and it looked really good with the school polo shirt underneath. It looks white plain but the "waterfall" detail is flawless and falls nicely, which makes your waist look tiny.

Last is the military style cardi, if you want to add a bit of edge to your school uniform then I suggest this. The tassel detail is really cute and like the first cardi, I haven't seen this much on cardi's on the high street.

My favourate cardi is the second one with the white trim. I really love looking at this on the model and how well it goes with casual clothes as well as uniform. Also when you look below you will see how amazing the price is which is another reason to buy it right now! 

Feather Shoulder Cardi - Oasis - £50.00
Amber Contrast Trim Jersey Cardigan - Boohoo - £8.00
Cropped Waterfall Cardi - Topshop - £25.00
Trudy Stud and Tassle Cardigan - Boohoo - £15.00

bargain of the week

I have decided to do a bargain of the week post, so here it goes.

This week it is an animal print playsuit with a military twist. Animal print is set to be massive this Autumn/ Winter and with a budget-friendly price tag, this has to be the ultimate bargain for the new season.

This playsuit is £13.00 and from Primark. Happy shopping.

vintage jewellery

I'm obsessed with vintage look jewellery. Anything brassy or a dusty gold is a must have for me. 

One place where I always buy my jewellery is Accessorize, which is where all these pieces are from. My favourate piece is the shield bracelet, it's gorgeous! Then my second favourate piece is the key necklace.  It's got such an old look to it and it's so quirky. Third is the gold cuff. I love the flower center and the detail on the actual cuff.

All of this jewellery can be a little expensive, especially from Accessorize, so if you want to find some antique jewellery for cheap, I suggest thrift shops or charity shops. I bought a gorgeous dusty gold cuff from one the other day for £3.00 and I can't stop wearing it.

Another place that I buy my jewellery is Topshop, but with Topshop jewellery, the gold colour fades really fast, so unless their really cheap I won't buy jewellery from there anymore.

get the look: river island

You gotta love River Island. Their getting better and better by the day. I have to admit, I found this outfit on their "get a look" page and I couldn't resist but to put it on here because it is so amazing. They have gone so vintage! I remember when they were full of neon colours and tacky clothes, but now, I want to own the whole store. 

So this blouse is my favourate item. I want it so bad! The "tea bag" colour is amazing and I love the lace and button detail. It gives it a vintage/victorian look. But then it's paired with some high waisted shorts which are gorgeous and also keep it up to date and trendy. Wear with sunglasses and a pair of ankle boots and your set. 

One problem is that the prices are slightly high, but you can always look around for alternatives. You could get a pair of denim shorts from Primark, I have a pair of ankle boots from New Look and they were only £20.00 and I love them (and their a fraction of the River Island price). The blouse I think you would have to get from river Island, unless you did some thrifting to try and find a vintage one.

Lace and Button Blouse - £29.99

High Waisted Shorts - £29.99

Oversized Sunglasses - £12.99

Faux Fur Cuff Ankle boots - £74.99

trilby hats

I am a big fan of trilby hats. They seem to be the only hats that look good on me. I love that for one hat, there are so many different styles and types. Different colours, different ribbons accessorizing it and some with bows, feathers or corsages.

I own one similar to the hat in the bottom left corner. It had black ribbon when I bought it but I then got different coloured ribbons so I can swap them when I feel like it so it could go with a range of outfits. Just a small tip there.

One thing I'm wondering is are they still on trend for the autumn/winter season? I hope so. Topshop are regularly having new ones in stock so that means that they haven't gone out yet. Always a good thing.

Above is a few hats that are my personal favourate finds. My favourate one is the one top middle one (even though it's a man's hat).

Mixed Dark Straw Trilby - New Look - £8.00
Multi Coloured Trilby Hat - Red Herring - £14.00
Nude Linen Trilby - Miss Selfridge - £18.00
Cream Trilby - Miss Selfridge - £15.00
Feather Trilby - Topshop - £25.00
Straw Trilby - French connection - £30.00

alexander wang

Alexander Wang is one of my favourate designers. His clothes are absolutely amazing and unlike some designers, their wearable.Here are a few outfits from his spring/summer collection.

My favourate ever outfit of his is the one in the first photo. The high waisted shorts are flawless and make the models waist look tiny. The polo top is amazing. The colours are stunning and goes so well with denim blues. I love how he has mixed vertical lines on the shorts with horizontal lines on the tee.  I really want to find an outfit like this on the high street, it's so cute! 

The second outfit is also gorgeous. I love the tan leather shorts with the oversized tee. It has knee high gray socks like the first outfit, which gives it a sweet, ditsy look. 

The third outfit is very different to the other two and it's what I would call a daring outfit. I just love the edgyness of this outfit and the fact that it's grungy yet worn by a very pretty model. It's very different and I think that's why I love it!

shopping list: topshop

Topshop have always been my favourite high street store. They offer a wide range of cutting edge clothes at amazing prices, and one piece has the ability to transform a wardrobe forever.

Here, I've selected a few of my favourite things they have in store at the moment, just to show off how stunning it really is.  My favourate piece is the tattoo print dress. Its absolutely stunning. If you can't see the print properly then go on Topshop.com, search it and zoom in on the dress because the print is amazing! Second, I love the jeans. I'm not a jeans person at all, I actually turned all of my jeans into shorts so I have none, but these jeans I would love to own, (maybe as soon as I get a job). Then third, the shoe boots. How stunning are they?! As soon as I have places to wear heels, I will have to get these. 

The tee, bag and jewellery are also some of my other favourate pieces. I own the heart studs and their gorgeous and go with everything and have a vintage look about them. I may consider getting the bag for school. My school uniform is all black so it will brighten it up a bit.
