shopping list: camel

Camel is the colour that everyone is talking about. Celebrities are constantly seen in the calm and collected colour, Vogue cannot stop talking about it and it is supposed to be the colour of the autumn/winter season along with khaki. I love that it's a natural colour that will go with a lot of clothes in everyone's closet. Coats and accessories are most wanted right now, their in demand more than camel tee's or trousers which are gradually getting more popular. I'd love a pair of tapered camel trousers to be honest, but mostly, I want a camel coat. I love the one featured.

*First are a pair of loafer's. I've never really been fussed on these, but as of lately, they're making me love them. The pair featured are gorgeous, the tassel detail is stunning and makes the loafers stand out. 

*Next is a leather purse which is sooo cheap! And it looks super expensive as well. I like the way the leather is cut and it has a vintage look to it.

*Court shoes are so on trend right now, so a pair of them in the most popular colour of the season will definitely boost your style.

*This trench coat is absolutely gorgeous! Topshop tend to always make amazing trenches but they tend to be a bit pricey. If you want one similar to this but for a fraction of the price, I saw one in H&M for £24.99.
*Everyone should have a tan/camel waist belt. I wear mine with so much it's crazy. This one is once again really expensive so if you want something similar but cheaper, I suggest looking in H&M or Primark.

*I really like this hair band. I'm not sure whether it would suit me or not though because I have brunette hair, I'll have to try it on in store and see what it's like and whether it clashes or not. I like that it's leather instead of a cotton fabric which always looks cheap to me. It's nice to see something different.

*Over the knee socks are essential for A/W! Their constantly on catwalks. If you see some of my previous posts about Zara and Alexander Wang, you can see how much they effect an outfit and give it that extra bit of edge. These socks are beautiful, the print it amazing!

*Last but definitely not least is the leather satchel. I'm a sucker for satchels, but normally I like cross body ones. This one is a shoulder bag and that makes it a little different to every other satchel. I like the straps and buckles on this, once again it gives it a vintage look. 

I honestly cannot choose my favourate items from this list. I literally can't. Their all stunning.

brown wedges

Wedges are so popular right now, especially dark brown ones. They have so many advantages. One - they're comfortable. Two - they look amazing. Three - They go with just about anything! That's without the benefit of making you taller and slimmer. Genius.

The first ones are probably my favourate ones out of them all, the strappy studded ones. I love the chocolate shade of brown and the fact that they look super expensive, like they could be designer. Next are some lower wedges and these are my second favourate. Their very sweet looking and are completely different to all the other wedges shown. My third favourate pair is the buckled wedges. The colour of the photo on the website is a bit lighter than they are in the store - I saw them the other day and they were darker. I like these because like the first pair, they look high fashion and like they could be designer. 

I like all the other wedges too, I put some "boot" wedges on here so there's a bit of variety, and boots can be very uncomfortable but I have a pair of boots like these and like any pair of wedges, they're really nice to walk in. I also like the studded cork wedges a lot - I think they will go lovely with beach wear.

Chocolate Peep Toe Wedges - Next - £55.00

Taupe Ruched Platform Wedges - Next - £55.00

Chocolate Low Wedges - Next - £35.00

Brown Multi Buckle Wedges - Dorothy Perkins - £42.00

Slouch Wedge Boot - New Look - £25.00

Dark Brown Studded Cork Wedges - Red Herring - £28.00

bag a bargain

Just another sale alert here. This is a Marc B bag from Topshop that was £35.00 and is now £17.00. I love this bag because even though their not, as popular anymore, quilted bags are still good for everyday or evening wear and I think everyone should have one in their wardrobe. I have this exact bag in cream and it's useful because it goes with a practically everything and gives most outfits a bit of edge.

This bag is called The Little Venice by Marc B** and is on topshop.com.

p.s. Sorry if I'm not blogging as much. I started my first job on Friday and I have a very busy few weeks ahead of me so will try to post as often as possible.

zara

Zara has become one of my latest weaknesses. I never used to go in the store because I thought it was too expensive, but it really isn't. You just pay for what you get, quality. Unlike Topshop, the clothing in Zara is worth the money you pay. I cannot wait until I get my first pay day so I can give Zara a visit.

Here are some of  my favourate outfits from Zara's new lookbook.

perfect outfits: topshop

The first outfit is adorable. It's so summery and perfect for everyday casual wear. The jersey like tee is simply amazing! It's then worn with a denim dungaree to give it a retro 70s look. Personally I love it and if I could pull this outfit off I would buy it right now. I also love the sunglasses with this outfit, they add more edge. I then love the tan bag. Tan accessories will bring this outfit together and give it a modern mix. I adore this outfit!!

 This is my favourate outfit of the three. The lace pink leotard goes amazing with the high waist shorts and the colours are bold and bright. Then to calm and complement the leotard and shorts, there is this ditsy fall down cardi. With a neutral off white colour and a gorgeous print, this calms the outfit down a bit and gives it a pretty and sweet look. Then again with tan accessories. It's this seasons favourate colour for them so go all out. Shoes, bags and bracelets are a good start. Add a trilby hat and this outfit is flawless!

So this is a more simple outfit. I love the military shirt, the sleeves are amazing. Their really long and they look like their just flowing. The off White colour is also stunning. Here it is buttoned to the top and tucked into some city shorts. Here an oversized bag is added and this will make your waistline look smaller. Add some tan shoes to complete the look.

q&a

"I'm looking for a maxi dress that isn't to expensive, can you help me find one please?"

I love maxi dresses! Their so comfortable and easy to wear, their so easy to dress up or down too.

Another great thing about them is that the style's and prints vary so much. There are romantic, vintage-y cotton and lace maxi dresses, stream lined jersey numbers, flowing floral maxis, relaxed silk versions and a scattering of bold, graphic prints in there too. 

Here are a few reasonably priced ones that I found. My favourate ones are the first and last dresses. The print's are gorgeous and summery, yet their still wearable for the autumn. 

Then my next favourate one is the plain white one. It can be worn with a blazer, denim jacket, a little cardi - with heels, flats, boots - you can do so much with this one dress.

Then my third favourate the black one. I would wear this going out because it's more for evening wear than everyday/casual. The neck chain detail is so, so pretty and this dress would be very easy to accessorize.

Rachel Flower Print Maxi Dress - Boohoo - £15.00
Black Chain Maxi Dress - Dorothy Perkins - £10.00
Floral Printed Maxi Dress - Miss Selfridge - £10.00
White Maxi Dress - Dorothy Perkins - £12.00
Tribal Print Maxi - Oli.co.uk - £18.00

my desires - part two

This month is a little different to last months. Last month everything was pretty, this month has gone a tad bit edgier with the studded heels and the D&G tee.

So first up is the ring. As soon as I saw this I knew it would be up on my next desires post, so here it is. I think it's gorgeous, would go with anything and is so romantic.

The bag. Ah the bag. I want it. A lot! I love a lot of Chloe bags, most of them are sensational, but this one stood out to me. Why? The vintage satchel look of course. Like the previous item this bag would basically go with anything in your closet. It's just stunning.

I'm not the biggest fan of D&G clothing, or the bags actually, but this tee stood out to me. I really like it. The bad thing is though is that it reminds me of the Exposure collection at Topshop. Not that it's copied it (it's probably the opposite), but maybe if I was wearing this people may think that I got it for twenty quid there when really it's very expensive. So if £115.00 for a tee was pocket change for me, then I would buy it, but I don't think it's worth splurging out on.

I like the fact that nerdy things are in right now, being a math geek it makes me feel slightly cooler... I really like these nerdy glasses. Mostly because of the colour. The brown effect is really sweet and gives the glasses a girly edge. Most people that I know who wears glasses like these wear the 3D glasses and just pop the lenses out, but I hate them without the lenses in. It looks weird. But these, I loveeee!

This necklace really stood out to me. The ditsy pendant isn't something I've seen before, so it's nice to see something different. I also like the yellow gold, it'd once again a bit different. This is a very sweet necklace.

Last but not least, the shoes! Mmmmmmm. I love them. Their the sort of shoes that I love to look at, but would have no here to wear them. I love the girly colour mixed with grungy/gothic studs. It's a good mix. 

The item I want most out of all is the love bird ring, it's so, so sweet!

Alex Monroe Love Bird Ring - Benna - £145.00

Chloe Darla Shoulder Bag  - Chloe.com - £1,065.00
D&G Betty Page Tee - Harvey Nichols - £115.00
Super Tortoisheshell Glasses - Goodhood - £134.00
