Inspired by Giles






Fluffy Sweater - Primark // Kiss Print Skirt - H&M // Stockings - Pretty Polly // Black Socks - ASDA/Wallmart // Mock Crock Boots - Missguided.co.uk // Gold Chain - H&M // Gold Charm Bracelet - H&M

I've had this skirt years, I think it was actually given to me by a friend! I haven't worn it in donkeys but with lipstick kisses making a début on the Giles SS14 catwalk at LWF I decided it was about time to give it an outing! The lip tint I'm wearing is a pretty perfect match too! I love it! 

My fluffy sweater and my cut out boots are fast becoming my Autumn faves. The sweater is so incredibly warm despite the short arms so I don't even have to wear a coat! I kinda hate coats...

Schoolastic!






Sweater - All Saints // Little black dress! - H&M // Tights - Marks & Spenser // Knee highs - All Saints // Suede Mary Jane's - New Look // Swallow chain - DIY - New Look // Silver layering rings - H&M

Okay, so I was a little silly with this look but I can't help it, I felt like a little kid in my uniform! 
I stole this sweater from my boyfriend a couple of months back and it's my new go-to cover up. It's the perfect amount of 'too big' and looks so cool with a pair of skinnies and some flats. 

Last night me and my boyfriend went to watch 'Filth' and let me tell you... it's no cutesy tale! I won't ruin it for you but be warned, do not try and watch it hungover. I won't pretend to be the smartest of the pack but even clean headed I had no idea what was going on for the majority of the film! All in all though it is worth watching, be prepared for a mammoth sized twist!

Sunday Brunch







White shirt - Primark // Velvet leggings - H&M // Suede Mary Jane's - New Look // Swan chain - Accessorize // Gold ring - H&M

I am so completely, hopelessly in love with my new shoes! If you've left the house in the last two weeks you'll have seen the leather look Mary Jane's that have been on sale in Primark. I've been after a pair for the last fortnight or so but to my anguish Manchester's store has only had sizes 7 & 8 in - who knows why! But I found these little beauties, which I actually prefer to the Primark alternative, in New Look for just £12. 

I haven't shopped in New Look for a good couple of years out of the opinion that their clothing became quite cheap looking but just recently I'm rekindling the old relationship! I've still not fully come round to their clothing range but their shoes and jewellery is awesome!

(I'm actually waiting for a small parcel to arrive... shhh!)

H&M Mini Jewellery Haul

So my Student Loan finally graced my bank account with it's presence so fittingly, I went on a well deserved mini spree last night. I've been needing some new jewellery for some time now - it's gotten to the point where I'm modifying all my old stuff to give it a new lease of life, (I seriously need to get a job!), so I decided to treat myself to these goodies from H&M. I'm really happy with my choices and it all came to just over £26... Steal!


I've had my eye on this necklace for the past month or so, so I finally picked it up. I'm usually such a sucker for pretty jewellery so this is a fresh change from the norm. I really love the big, chunky chain and the detail in the eagle.


Rings are something I'm really running low on so I decided to make that the focus of my shop. This one is just gorgeous and so glittery! I haven't much silver, I'm more of a gold kinda gal'.


These layering rings are just great, what I really love about them is that they are all different sizes so sit in different positions on my fingers!


When I took this ring from the packaging I found out it was broken in two different places and I was gutted. But after a quick mess around I got over it... I actually prefer it! Because I have horrible little, stubby fingers if it'd had been whole I would have had trouble actually wearing it. Now I can wear them over three fingers and I really like how the now separate rings match.


I love a good statement ring and this definitely ticks that box, it's huge! Although as I say, I do have fat kid hands. 


This wierdly reminds me of the ring from Lord of the Rings. Now, I'm aware it doesn't actually look anything like it. But that's my reasoning for the purchase... go figure!
