Falling for Autumn | Outfit of The Day

When autumn comes around, I'm filled with a hint of sadness that the long evenings and sunny days are over; however when I see the leaves changing and the autumn colours emerging, I can't help but fall for this time of year.

Tune of the read- The Cranberries "Linger"

Hat- Primark (Men's)

Dress- Primark

Jacket- F&F (similar here)

Leggings- Topshop

Boots- New Look

Bag- Cath Kidston

Dog- Harry Model's Own

This dress is a Primark special. Having found smock dresses to be a big trend this year, I'm not quite ready to part with them. This £10 beauty could easily come across as Christmas attire but chuck on some tan with it and it becomes an autumnal dream that'll double up for festivities when the time comes. 

These New Look boots are oooold but as dishevelled as they are I'm still very much in love with them. As for my bag, this is a Cath Kidston number that Chris HATES, however I adore it. The slouchy style and velvet feel of the material screams A/W at me and is perfect for mooching about.

No autumn look is complete without a berry red lip and as always, I've got the Kate Moss for Rimmel shade 107 out.

So what are your colours for autumn wear? I've seen a few people donning orange trousers which look amazing but I'm not bold enough to try it out myself!!

I'm Over You, Get Under Me | Style

Coat- Boohoo

Fur Stole- eBay

Smock dress- New Look

Rose Gold Loafers- New Look

Bag- Matalan (similar here)

Necklace- Accessorize

Last week I went to visit my blogging vlogging pals Pippa from Clashing Time  and Cara from Polly Pocket Beauty who have recently moved in together in London. We'd arranged to take some outfit shots in their area and who knew that the location they had in mind would match perfectly with the outfift I had chosen!?

I know typical AW colours are burgundy, mustard, khakis etc but I am still feeling pink so much right now. It's become a bit of an unhealthy obsession; that and rose gold (every bloggers weakeness!) The fur stole adds to the cosy winter feel as well as the wool coat which is in the sale on Boohoo at the mo.

My bag is a little Matalan number and everyone always says how lovely it is. I love the colour but I have to say the quality is not there as after only a few months the faux leather straps are starting to break *sob*.

I'm also obsessed with smocks at the moment. I wore my gingham one all through summer and now I'm all about layering them with thick tights and leggings to see me through the winter. This pink number is in the sale on the New Look website and flatters a curvier figure like mine; skimming over the tummy area hurrah!

Pippa took these photos and I have to say she's done a fabulous job, even if we did get told to "get away!" by the old lady whose house it was. Whoops! 

And on that note I'm off. I hope you're enjoying the outfit posts of late. I've got some upcycling. DIY home projects coming veeeery very soon. I'm just waiting to finish them so stay tuned!

Are you back to the dark colours for AW17 or are you braving a bright colour?

Outfit of the Day | Kaftan Karma

Outfit posts are by far my favourite posts to do and I'm really feeling the boho vibes recently as you may have noticed.

Dress- Topshop

Kaftan- Primark

Sandals- flea market

Belt- Primark

Bindi hair jewellery- and old necklace revamped!

Bracelets- H&M, flea markets etc..

Ring- Shop Dixi

I know I've put too many photos in but, can you really ever have too many photos? Really ought to try smiling a bit more though! I also must show my mama how I've styled this Primark kaftan as she hated it when I bought it. Her exact words were "it reminds me of old hippies". Now maybe old hippies aren't so bad? I think it looks great over a LBT and gives a relaxed bohemian feel. Have the urge to swish around whenever I try this on, must be the tassels? I had to add tasselled sandals to tie in with the theme and the bindi style hair piece is actually an old necklace of my Mum's! I've always thought it'd look cool as a hair piece. Will probably end up wearing the kaftan to festivals this year, it'd be a crime not to really!

Outfit Of the Day | Cosmic Love

Top- Matalan

Skirt- New Look

Sandals- Vivienne Westwood

Bracelets- gifts

Rings shop dixi

Necklace- Black Tied

I thought I'd do another outfit post this week and I have to say I am totally in love with the colour theme I've got going on. I have a thing for purpley/blue tones at the moment in case you haven't guessed. This outfit gives a hippie bohemian feel with the floaty pieces and floral crown, mixed in with a bit of cosmic print. I'm absolutely in love with this Black Tied necklace I recently purchased. If you know me you'll know I love shiny shiny things and this swarovski crystal twinkles and shines so beautifully in the light! It really compliments the cosmic print too! The floral head piece I made last summer and was super easy so if you want to see how I made it click here or check out the how to video on my Youtube channel here. Yes this outfit is rather summery but it's been lovely and warm over in Cyprus so I couldn't resist doing a summery outfit post- sorry UK peeps.

Don't forget to check out the video here too:

What are you wearing this spring?

Outfit of the Day | Arabella

Well what do we have here? An outfit of the day? Are you sure? Oh yes!

Dress- Primark

Hat- eBay

Bracelets- home made

Belt- Primark

Socks- Topshop

Shoes- River Island

Necklace- Fiona Jones Jewellery

I mentioned this dress in my recent Primark Haul post and video and absolutely love it! At £8 it was a total steal and a great shape for my figure, being really versatile to all kinds of occasions. 

Now onto the slightly more...controversial combo I'm wearing- socks and sandals.. Some people will love it, others will full on hate it but in my book it's fine because they're heeled wedges and and and well, I think it looks cool okay? Take it how you will! And as for the hat, I've missed my hat and it makes me feel quintessentially English in this warm climate. Say hello to Harry my rescue dog, he fancied a pose too..

I hope you guys like this look, let me know what you think and don't forget to watch the video!

Uni Outfit of the Day

Hello strangers. It's been a while for me, AWOL for two weeks! Tut tut... I do apologise but I've been bogged down with revision, coursework and sending out my C.V. Im currently employed as a student and my contract is up at the end of August along with my degree so I'll be qualified and jobless as it were :-(. So yeah I've been frantically putting my C.V together and writing letters to potential employers about how wonderful I am! But with that in mind I need to finish my course which has gone oh so wonderfully to plan today as I've missed my bloody train to uni! Argh! I had a while until the next train so thought I'd film a super quick OOTD and a blogpost which I'm editing on the train as we speak!Hope you enjoy ^_^.

Jacket- River Island 

Jeggings- Topshop

Tee- H&M

Bracelets- Homemade & H&M

Trainers- Converse hi-tops (bought from ASOS) 

Todays outfit is about comfort, some spring warmth and some lighter spring colours. I recently picked up this jacket from River Island and think it's a great updated piece for Spring with the colours pairing with most things plus it makes a change from a denim jacket. I love the boucle texture. I'm loving my Topshop acid wash jeggings too as they pair nicelywith pastel colours and just generally give more of a spring summery feel to an outfit. And as for the weather...one minute it's sunny and the next it's raning so Converse are my footwear of choice which are also comfy as hell for a long day of uni, trapsing up and down the eight flights of stairs to my classroom! It's quite a simple look but I think it speaks for itself and I'm currently in love with it.

 

 

Check out my accompanying video for this look below:

I hope you're all well! Can you also enlighten me as to how I find other peoples blogs on here? I'm not sure how, simple Kat ^_^. I'm hoping to post a bit more regularly next week so until then...
