 Autumn Leaves
  This is my 'autumnal lookbook'! :)

Just a few OOTD's to show you how I style autumnal colours and styles! I love autumn! Halloween! Colourful leaves! Bonfires! Woolly Scarves! YAY!
                                    





This outfit shows me sporting the 'berry' trend for the season, I wore this berry coloured jumper/top  I bought in H&M last year.. I love the draping on the back, I think it gives this basic outfit a bit of a fashionable edge! I really like the colours in this outfit, this is exactly the colour palette I think of when I think of autumn clothes! 

In this Outfit:
berry draped top - H&M
Black disco pants - American Apparel
Green Woolly cardigan - local boutique
brown belt & shoes - Topshop

Mulberry lipstick - Russian red by MAC and Mulberry by SLEEK


PLEASE also take a look at my latest lookbook outfit! :

In this outfit:
Red beret - Primark
Black top - Topshop
Floral skirt -Spitalfields Market
Black long socks - Topshop
Red coat - New Look


Last of all, this is a casual autumnal look with a more 'rocker' 'biker' vibe, its a great way to reuse your summer clothes too, just put a pair of black tights with your denim shorts and chuck a leather jacket over your jersey vest! I wore this look to walk around East London on a Sunday and it was perfect for the 'sunny but a bit chilly' weather that London is having at the moment.. I tend to wear more girlie/cutsy outfits in Autumn/Winter but this is a nice change from that!

In This Outfit:
White Jersey Tank - H&M
Black leather jacket- Miss Selfridge 
Denim cut off shorts - Beyond Retro
Sunnies - Topshop
necklaces - a gift and a charity shop



hope you're all well and excited for halloween/autumn in general!
LOVE

Moroccan Holiday Part 2
This post is a bit long! Be warned!

Oh Hi! I'm back from Morocco and I had an absolutely amazing time and I thought I would share my holiday outfit choices with you guys! How fun! 

I did have to cover up a bit when I was walking around but I didn't want to dress dowdily 

So.. here's what I chose to wear on the second half of my holiday..hope you enjoy! 
(press the pics to make 'em bigger)


Outfit One:
Black leotard - American Apparel
Peach midi skirt - ASOS
White belt - Charty shop
Black lace bandeau - River Island

I wear this black leotard all the time in the winter as a staple piece but this was a great way to bring it into my summer wardrobe! I really like it with this bright peach skirt, it made a nice evening outfit. The back of the leotard is really low so I had to put a little lace bandeau underneath!




Outfit Two:
Coral Shirt - River Island
Brown Jersey Maxi - River Island
Black skinny belt - Topshop

I wore this jersey maxi quite a lot while I was away because I felt the colour really worked! I like it with this coral top, I never would have put these two together normally but when I tried this I liked the palette, tres cute!


Outfit Three:
Brown jersey maxi skirt/dress - River Island
Brown and Gold belt- Topshop
Gold necklace - Tophop/diy
Black flatforms - River Island

Here's an evening outfit I put together to go for drinks with some friends while we were there. I decided to wear my maxi skirt as a dress, which is a great way to get more use out of one! I simply chucked a brown and gold belt round the middle and wore a chunky gold necklace and I thought it ended up as a pretty cute outfit! This is defo one of my fav outfits of the trip!


Outfit Four:
White vest - H&M
White bandeau - River Island
Peach silk skirt - Charity shop
Grey belt - Charity shop

Lastly I wore this outfit which I thought was really cute! I wore my peach silk midi from a charity shop and muy plain jersey vest, I put a little white bandeau underneath and it turned out pretty nicely! I really like the lighter colour palette in this outfit :)

Hope you're all well!

Little Boxes

Round specs

Jewelry shot

Lookbook Pic

Hello!
I wore this outfit for a bbq this weekend. It's a really cute jumpsuit I got from a charity shop ages ago and haven't worn much but have fallen back in love with. Often clothes from charity shops can be a bit big so a tip from me is to roll the sleeves and legs up to a bit further then needed to make it look like it's meant to be like that! This jumpsuit was a bit baggy on the waist too but I just chucked a skinny belt round it and VOILA it works really well I think!

So as to make sure I don't look too 'Vintage'd up' I threw on some black and shiny gold accessories to toughen up the look and make it a bit more modern  :)

When I shop in Charity shops I tend to go in with an open mind, think what you could do with what they have.. It might be a really cute dress but its just a little long, or baggy.. little changes like cutting and re-sewing hems and darts don't take long and it means you have spent very little money on an item that you won't see anyone else in! I also like to buy studs and spikes that I can stud into old denim or clothes I've bought in charity shops.. you can buy the studs on ebay for pretty cheap and once again you've got an original piece in no time at all! It's totally worth it, so next time you are in a Charity shop think about the changes you could make to make something to make it extra special!

Nails did

I did some quick pastel coloured nail art the other day and thought I'd post it. This was so quick and easy and can be done with just a thin paint brush or even a toothpick!
