3 reasons to love autumn

1. Nature!

I went for a jog the other day and couldn't help notice how pretty the sky looks on autumn evenings. As well as the sky looking particularly colourful, I love how the trees turn gorgeous shades of orange and red,; I love the smell of rain and even the darker evenings.

2. Candles!

I love candles , they create such a cosy atmosphere on a dark, cold evening. As well as this they look really pretty and smell amazing too. I got the candle pictured from Homebase for £4 and it has a 120 hour burning time. The scent its 'cinnamon spice' which smells amazing and is so autumny!

3. Fashion!

I love love love the fashion in Autumn, in fact it is my favourite season for fashion -  The big wool coats, the knitted jumpers, the woolly socks and ankle boots, the darker colours. Ahh I just love it! This picture was taken in Topshop, everything looks so lovely and cosy!

17th Birthday Wishlist!

Hi everyone!

I love October not only because it's the beginning of autumn (which means Halloween parties, coats, and candles!) But also because it is my birthday month , woo!

So, here is my birthday wishlist for this year.

1.  Aloe Moisturiser by The Body Shop - £11. I love basically all of The Body Shop  products, and as my current moisturiser is running out fast, this 5 star product with over 300 reviews is something I would love to try out!

2. Redken Shampoo - around £10, I have recently cut my hair quite short (as you can see in a recent instagram pic) and I really want to start looking after it properly. My hair is dyed and I wash it daily so I need to make sure it stays in good condition! Even though it is quite expensive for a shampoo, it does seem to make all the 'top 10' shampoo lists, so hopefully it is as good as people say!

3 Coat by Zara - £69.99 - colder weather = new coat! I loveee this coat, it looks soo cosy! Last year my coat was a faux fur lined parka from Zara and the quality and warmth was amazing. I defiantly want another coat from Zara this year.

4 Naked Palette - £37 - The naked palette 2 has been on my wishlist forever! The colours look gorgeous and urban decay's eye shadows are known for their great quality.

5 Boots by Topshop - £40 I absolutely love boots! Ankle boots are another great thing about autumn- in fact maybe even the best thing, and you can never own enough pairs right?!

6 White Musk Parfum by The Body Shop - £14 - The Body Shop's fragrances are always spot on! I get loads of compliments for their coconut one especially!

7 Shea Shower Cream by The Body Shop - £4 - because they smell soo nice !

8 Tea Tree Oil by the body shop £7 -  this product is raved about and I really want to try it out!

I hope you enjoyed this post, please leave any thoughts in the comments below! Thanks!

September's Sixth Form Fashion Wishlist

Hi everyone! I haven't posted for agesss.. and the reason why? In a word (or two) Sixth Form. 

So it seems to make sense that this blog post was a bit sixth form inspired for anyone else who is busy studying at school. A great thing about Sixth Form is that most places in the UK, we no longer have to wear uniform, but sometimes it can be difficult to find something to wear! So here are a few ideas if anyone would like a little help with some inspiration! I really really love all the items here, let my know what you think!

Ps. Don't forget to enter my giveaway for a Topshop Foundation Brush >>> Here! There are 9 days left to enter :-) Good Luck!

Skirt Wishlist

1 TOPSHOP Asymmetric Checked Skort £34

2 MISS SELFRIDGE Embellished Black Mini skirt £38.50 

3 RIVER ISLAND Checked mini skirt with asymmetric zip £28

4 URBAN OUTFITTERS cooperative pin dot skater skirt in daisy print £30

5 ZARA Seamed print mini £35.99

Here are some skirts that I think would be great for Autumn matched with a knitted jumper, black tights and ankle boots. Checked prints and bold patterns bring some colour and detail to cosy knit wear to make a really cute outfit.

A day out shopping and sixth form haul

 Hi,

Yesterday I went shopping to look for sixth form clothes! 

Firstly I went in H&M and ended up getting a really pretty dress which was £12.99 (bargain!) and a black spotty shirt which was £14.99. I think the dress was my favourite thing that I got, and looks really nice with my River Island jacket which you can see Here!

Next I went to look in Lush and also The Body Shop. Although I wanted everything from both shops I was very good and didn't buy anything, but I did see a body shop lipstick that I really liked... 

I also went to Costa (again!!) before going into John Lewis, trying out some of the perfumes (Marc Jacobs, Chanel) and deciding to buy a really cute necklace which was reduced from £15 to £4.50! I also got a ZARA skirt from the online stock clearance sale, which was reduced from £36.99 to £9.99! I think goes really well with my new h&m shirt.

I still need some boots, a few more tops and a bag :-)

August's Fashion WishList Including A Range Of Sizes

Hi Everyone. Here is my August's Fashion Wishlist. These items come in a range of sizes so this post is relevant to everybody. Enjoy!

1) Casual/Skater Skirt

The first item of clothing on Augusts Wishlist is a Skater Skirt. I particularly like this Black Chelsea Girl Triangle Print Skirt from River Island. I love monochrome and the fact that this skirt has a retro feel about it. I think It would go with loads of different items and would look great in Autumn with thick black tights. It is available in uk sizes 6-16 and costs £20, which I think is a pretty good price!

2) Black Dress

I'm going into sixth form soon and now have a dress code instead of a uniform, therefore I'm allowed to wear dresses of my choice. Yippeee! I'm in love with this Black Cross Neck Skater Dress from Miss Selfridge which costs £45 and is available in sizes uk 6-14. If you are looking for something similar and you have a more curvy figure, I also love this really pretty Blouson Dress from OneStopPlus which ranges from US sizes 12-28 and would look great with formal or informal jackets.

3) Knitted Jumper

As the weather is beginning to get colder I really want a lovely warm jumper that I can wear with my black skinny Jeans. I've had my eye on this beautiful Clean Rib V Sweater in Camel from Topshop since it has been in the 'new in' section! I've had my old Topsop jumper for 3 YEARS! so I think it is defiantly time for an update!!! It is available in uk sizes 8-16 and costs £38. 

4) Heeled Chelsea Boots

I think Chelsea Boots are absolutely perfect for Autumn. I'm deperate for a pair of Vagabond Grace Heeled Chelsea Black Nubuck Boots. They are £80 in office, but I think they are good value for money as vagabond is known for it's comfort and quality. Definatly saving for these!!!

5) Back and White Striped Top

I love love love monochrome stripes. I already have a striped crop top from H&M and a striped Bardot style dress from River Island. I think it's a really great pattern for Autumn as well. I really like this Striped low-cut Peplum style top from Zara which is in the Sale at £5.99. Bargain! This comes in sizes XS-M. I think Peplum styles are lovely and also are really flattering on curvy figures.

I hope you enjoyed this post, feel free to leave any thoughts below! What is on your fashion wishlist this month?

Jacket Haul!

Hi!

In September I am hopefully going to be going in to sixth form to study for my A levels.  I'm hoping to do Business Studies, either art or Textiles and possibly sociology???

Anyway, It is the first time I wont have to wear school uniform; (THANK GOD) and just have a dress code instead. Yay!

I have started off with getting jackets so here are the 3 jackets that I have got for sixth form. My favourite one is the one from River Island which I got the other day for £40 and I absolutely love it. I got it in a size up from my usual as I like jackets to be a bit oversized and have room to with wear layers in the colder months. I love the way the sleeved are rolled up and the fit is really flattering.

The next jacket I got was from Sainsburys....What? Sainsburys? Yep.

OK so I was quite surprised to be buying a jacket in Sainsburys, (admittedly its not usually the most fashionable of places), BUT I saw this jacket and I thought I would try it on. It actually suited me really well and it is SO soft and comfortable.. at only £16 it was such a bargain too!

The final jacket is more of a woolly fabric and I got it in the sale at ASOS, so I don't think it is available any more, but I thought I'd show you it anyway! (You may be able to find something similar.) I got this 2 sizes up from my normal size as it was the only size available but at £16 I had to order it! Therefore it is quite oversized and can be worn as more of a coat-jacket in winter. It is also very soft and comfortable.

I now need to find blouses,shirts,skirts,trousers,dresses, and boots to go with all these jackets, so there will be a few more hauls and wish lists in the future!

I hope you enjoyed this post, leave a comment to let me know what you think!

Fashion: Style Inspiration

 

I don't feel like I've posted enough fashion type stuff on my blog so far (mainly because I haven't got a great camera at the moment!) As fashion is my main interest I have decided to do a post on one of my favourite outfits this month, despite the lack of camera equipment! (sorry about the not-so-great quality instagram photo)

The Jumper, Skirt and Sunglasses are from H&M and the Boots are from River Island. The boots where £70 originally but I got them half price in the sale because the zip at the back was broken! Anyway, this is an outfit I have been loving this month. I love the mustard colour of the jumper and I think it only cost around £10! Cut out style ankle boots have been really popular and I think they are great, and I think the skirt from h&m is really cute. I have seen a few people wearing it, I think it only cost £6 which is a massive bargain!

I hope you liked this post, let me know what you think
