Knitwear & Neutrals

Happy Autumn everyone!

I know, it's not officially Autumn yet but boy does it feel like it. Crisp clear mornings, a chilly breeze and the leaves are just about to turn a golden colour. The drop in temperature has lead me to start bringing some new knitwear into my wardrobe, and this outfit officially marks my first knitwear-focused look of the coming season.

I'm in love with this outfit. It's attainable, it's comfortable, and it's so easy to wear. So many fashion bloggers post outfits that are not your every day wearable looks (and come on, I LOVE looking at them all!) but this one is on-trend, accessible, and seriously wearable.

It started with the shoes. I don't wear flats, you all know that, but my resistance was seriously stretched when I spotted these Celine-esque beauties for less than �30. I just couldn't say no to their pointy-toe perfection, and the neutral tones go with all kinds of ensembles, making them spot on for Summer-going-on-Autumn transition OOTDs.

Let's talk about the knitwear. Did someone say Wardrobe e-s-s-e-n-t-i-a-l?! Whether you love to snuggle up in lots of layers or want to throw this baby on over the top of a T Shirt when you leave the house, a knitwear piece like this simply doesn't go out of style, and boy is it comfortable!

Also, the jeans. A new favourite pair from Missguided (can you tell I'm becoming sorta-obsessed?!), the grey colour is universally flattering and the ribbed biker detail above the knee adds just another snippet of detailing and texture to the look. 

I added in the most darling everyday cream & tan handbag - a steal at just �19.99 - and it perfectly matches the shoes! I feel this is a look which I'll be rocking rather a lot in the coming weeks and months, so scroll down for further details and pictures!

Festival Lookbook

This weekend, I was whisked away to V Festival by Sure - for a weekend of dancing, camping and hanging out with some of my absolute favourite bloggers. I rummaged through my wardrobe and pulled out my most festival appropriate outfits - starting with this gorgeous silky jumpsuit from Little Mistress, as well as my new favourite top from Missguided, and a pair of bejewelled sandals from Amazonas which turned out to be an absolute essential for every look.

I'm such a fan of the gorgeous material from this jumpsuit, it made me feel luxurious and glamorous despite having spent the entire day (and previous night!) in a field! I pulled together some of my favourite accessories from the Z collection from Accessorize, along with my fitbit which perfectly coordinated with the blue from my outfit!

Throughout the whole festival, I tracked my motion on the fitbit, by the end of the 2 days I'd managed to walk a total of 5km ( no need for the gym this week! ) and walked over 15,000 steps - despite barely emerging from the VIP campsite! It's incredible how much movement we actually do without really feeling like we're doing any exercise! I didn't fancy the showers on the campsite, but luckily I still felt fresh even when leaving at the end of day 2, thanks to Sure's Motionsense freshness technology - where the more you move, the more protection you get thanks to these fancy microcapsbltes which break with friction! The fragrance of the antiperspirant was incredibly fresh so despite our surroundings I still felt (and smelt!) squeaky clean.

To read more about the Sure antiperspirant as well as my other Festival Beauty Essentials, take a peek at Monday's post here.

A Humongous Summer Haul!

After disaster struck and my memory card wiped half the files for a video that was due to go up last Sunday, I was scratching my head for what I could film. And then I saw the shopping bags. Lots and lots of shopping bags. Unplanned it may be, but this haul video is a big 'un, so have a lil watch and let me know which pieces you love, and which I should send back!

Also, if you loved this video it would mean a lot to me if you would give it a thumbs up, and subscribe if you're new!

Laid-Back London

One of the great things about living in London is that you can dress up, or dress down, and no one will really bat an eyelid.

In fact, it is more than acceptable to pull together an oh-so-casual outfit, and then add a touch of glamour with heels and a designer dupe bag, and this look rocks exactly that. I built the look around my new high rise ripped jeans, adding a taupe suede top - of course- and lace up block heels (which were an absolute steal at just under �23!) to give me the height boost that I need! Distressed jeans have definitely become by everyday go-to, the easy and effortless vibe of this look is most definitely addictive for city living.

My newest Chloe dupe bag was such a steal at under �40, and is a brilliant dupe of the 'Faye' bag. It's the ideal size for a day strolling the city, and the perfect shape too as it's a cross body - absolute winner! The bag also comes in classic black and a gorgeous mink colour too.

I've become obsessed with the new copper range from Trollbeads and this White Diamond bangle adds a gorgeous lady like touch to this look. I finished the #OOTD with my favourite accessories, so scroll down for more details and all the links!

My First Ever Primark Haul! [EVER!]

Just over a week ago, I wrote a post about the Primark Autumn Winter 2015 Press Day, and all the best pieces to look out for in the coming seasons. I mentioned in the post that prior to the press day I'd made my first EVER trip to the store, and I have to say, you guys were very forgiving! As someone who had never visited the store before, I stocked up on essentials as well as some of the fashion pieces, and I've shared them all with you in my newest video! I also did some online shopping on Missguided, so threw those in for good measure too. Enjoy!
