When the Sun Goes Down

Pink Speckled Sweater - Primark // Black Skater Skirt - H&M // Grey Knee Highs - H&M // Black Brogues - Topshop // Aztec Style Eagle Chain (Part of Set) - Primark // Silver Rings (Assorted) - New Look, H&M, Primark

My first winter look showcasing wooly jumpers! I made a distinct decision to go out and by SWEATERS. I came home with this skirt, a load of jewellery and a load of sheer shirts... Oh.

On the plus side I picked up a gorgeous pink, boyfriend fit, winter coat and a couple of snazzy scarves which are perfect for those days where you don't quite need to layer right up, (though I have a sinking feeling those days are coming to pass!)

Sunday Summary // Week 5

What I'm watching

Christmas fever has taken over my life. My eyes have been fully glued to the TV screen, drinking in all the lovely, sparkly Christmas adverts! 

I love, love, LOVE the brand spanking Magic & Sparkle advert! (... some may say M&S). Helen Bohnam Carters appearance 100% steals the show for me, especially embedded in the Disney themed Christmas-sy magic!

What I'm listening to 

Cliff Richard.

He has magic hips and rock 'n roll vocals. Need I elaborate?

What I'm reading

I'm still on Walking Through Hollywood for this week. I've been a busy old bee getting the website up and running, (there's a hefty discount for my beautiful followers, I spoil you!). 

What I'm craving

A good ol' brew with some soggy Rich Tea's! I made the grand mistake of watching The Alan Tichmarch Show when they were debating to dunk or not to dunk... daytime TV numbs the mind.

What I'm lusting after 

Boots, boots and more boots! This winter chill is getting my tootsies all chill. I have my eye on a couple of styles, lets hope Santa provides this year. ;)

What I'm buying 

Winter sweaters! I had a great trawl through Primark on Wednesday and picked up a great many wooly products! I've also done a little Christmas shopping which consists of goodies from Urban Outfitters and All Saints for my man. And of course, the classic Christmas jammies for my Mummy! 

It's a brilliant family tradition!

What I'm wishing 

I have a job interview on Monday, I really hope I get the job! // That the launch of my shop will be an amazing success! Share and share alike folks, help me reach my targets! // Uni could slow down a little - I'm feeling all bogged down with my final years work, anyone else feeling my pain? // For a perfect first Christmas for me and Nick - It's our first year together and we have the new flat to transform into our own winter heaven! I just hope it's as amazing as I plan for it to be!

So sorry it's late again!

Love you all

Flowers in the Attic

Floral Print Bomber Jacket - Vintage - A Cat Called Esteban // Black Crop Top - Topshop // Pale Blue Jeggings - Moto - Topshop // Black Frill Socks - Primark // Mock Crock Cut-out Boots - Missguided.co.uk // Gold Chain - H&M

How adorable is my new bomber jacket? It's from a super cool vintage store which I found when attending the Rianna Phillips AW13 Press Event called, Cat Called Esteban Vintage. I've bought a few more items from the store which have become serious staples in my winter wardrobe! For the moment I think the bombers gonna sit on the back burner until the sunshine pops his head up again. It'll look so cute with a pair of denim cut off's and a little floaty camisole! 

Doll Face

Plaid chiffon shirt - Primark // Black disco pants - boohoo.com // Cameo necklace - Vintage // Sheepskin backpack - BANK // Black suede Mary Jane's - New Look 

So although I look a little like a six year old, (I can't help it... I'm just too cute.) I really like this outfit. The simplicity of each garment works brilliantly with one another and the shirt's print keeps the look updated. Plus it's bright blue tone really makes my eyes pop!

I adore my sheepskin backpack which gives any look a bit of an urban twist, with its textured outside. It's so different to anything I've seen which makes it uber cool in my eyes! The bags surprisingly roomy too... I was able to pack away all my Uni books and pack away a small shop on my way home, quelle surprise! 

My only complaint is the shirts fit - after one wash it's twisted and out of shape. Classic Primark!

What do you guys think about the store? Are the low prices worth the, (i'll be kind...), 'questionable' quality, or is shopping there a fruitless endeavour? I'd love to know.

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!)
