Ombre : Summer Style OOTD


So the weather has perked up again! Thank goodness, I was beginning to think that summer had come and gone in the space of a day! I am here again with another OOTD in my new favourite place in the garden. I have taken the last couple of blogposts in this exact spot at different times of the day to try and figure out when the best time is to take the pics! I still need to invest in a whole lighting equipment, but for now this is the best I can do!


So, I got this top the other week when shopping the New Look sale. I found it a little unusual and different so obviously I had to get it. I have found it really hard to style though! The colour just doesn't seem to go with my light wash jeans, but perfectly with a white or dark denim pair. (I promise I do wear other jeans than these white ones, but have fallen in love with them over the last couple of weeks!) The jeans are from Marks and Spencers Limited collection believe it or not. I was never really a shopper of Marks and was going to buy a pair of white jeans from Topshop. However these were a pound or two cheaper and just fit so much nicer! They are also not crisp white but more of an off white shade which is perfect for me! 




On my feet I wore my other new sandals from Primark. You know what they say, you can never have enough pairs of Primark sandals. Oh, they don't say that? never mind then!


I hope you enjoyed reading my latest OOTD blogpost! I am loving making them again now I have some more time in my day to dedicate to taking HD pictures! 

Let me know what you think! 
Lots of love, 

A Topshop, New Look and Zara fashion haul


I think it is time to admit it..I have a shopping problem. The first step to improving is admitting right? Anyway, this week I made a cheeky visit to my local shopping centre to have a little browse for LFW outfit ideas. Of course like most shopping trips these 'ideas' actually turned into 'buying' and I am excited to share some of the bargains that I have got!

When it comes to Topshop sales I much prefer to look online than in store. The stores always tend to resemble a jumble sale so I usually stay clear. That is until Friday when I noticed that there was extra 20% off sale items. Yes 20%! An absolute bargain if you ask me! Being a student I was also able to get another 10% off that so I know that all of my purchases are justified! First things first I noticed this green crocheted high neck crop. I am usually not one to go for a crop top but I visioned it looking perfect with a high waisted leather skirt for London fashion week.

Green Crotchet Top -£7.00
 Next I spotted this skirt. Again it is really different to what I usually go for. It zips up at the front and has rough edging. It is made out of a crepe fabric and is quite heavy. I am excited to wear this with a white jumper in the colder months.

Crepe Skirt- £25.00
Finally from Topshop I got this hooded scarf shawl 'thing'. with the winter months approaching and the mornings and evenings getting a lot colder I wanted something that I could wear on the train. I also think that it being styled over a leather jacket could look really cute! The colour also brightens up any outfit! Also when I got to the till it was even cheaper than the initial price on the tag was!
Hooded shawl- £7.00
Next was Zara. Seeing as I am going to Disneyland Paris (eep!) in October when the weather is a lot colder I thought that buying a new winter hat would be totally appropriate! This hat is from the TRF range in Zara and is made out of the softest wool ever! I got it in this faded brown colour for myself and the white for my mum!
Wool Hat- £7.99
One of my weaknesses when it comes to winter fashion is boots. I love a pair of boots! New Look seemed to have gone all out this year with this sector! They have every design of boots in every single colour you could ever wish for! I went with these mid heeled chunky boot. I have a pair in green from River Island that I love, but they are higher than I would be wearing every day! These boots are perfect for travelling to and from uni. They give me a little bit of height without being uncomfortable to wear!
Heeled chunky boots- £29.99
You may be able to tell from the better image quality that I have got a new camera. I have been working with my dad for the past 4 weeks to earn some money to purchase it. I was stuck between two cameras. The Nikon 1 and the Olympus Pen E-PL7. After lots of research and testing out of cameras I decided to go with the Olympus Pen. I am so happy with it! If people are interested in me doing a review then I can do one!

Have a lovely week! 
Love
