Brrrrrrrrrr! Furrrrrrrrr

I've been looking for a Winter Jacket for a few weeks now, I was reluctant to buy one un my budget but when ASOS had a flash 20% student discount I succumb to the impulse buy! I mist say the coat came and I am in love with it pretty much!It's from Oasis and without the discount would have cost me £110 but hello student budget! So i was pretty pleased with the £88 that I got it for. Awaiting its arrival I was a bit sceptical about that the quality of the faux fur would be but it's so nice, i'm really pleased and can't wait to wear it tomorrow.

The fur is lovely and cosy and the buttons are concealed. The fur is also removable and so if i really wanted to could wear it without or attach another stole to the jacket.  It's made from a wool blend and so hopefully will keep me nice and warm doing my christmas shopping or during festivities in Winter Wonderland.

Other coats I've had my eye on, mainly on ASOS because I'm slightly addicted...

Wasn't sure about the colour on this ASOS Parka with Patent Detail, I came close to purchasing it a few times but was hesitant and so haven't got round to it yet. Looks really snug though, and the patent cuffs and shoulder give it a unique edge!  RRP: £95 so not a bad buy!

I really like oversized jackets and this one i've had
my eye on this one for a while. It looks very cosy
 and like you could fit a lot of layers underneath it
which is great. The Selected Trish Ovoid Coat
(available on asos) in Wool Tweed RRP's at £170.
I attended at asks talk at uni where we got a special
20% off discount code so i might use that for this
bad boy! Maybe after i've done the Christmas
Shopping though!

This one, I think, is really nice! Another Parka with a
faux fur collar, can't get enough of the faux fur! It's by
Katie Judith available on ASOS RRP: £242 but special

ASOS price of £170, which is one of the main reasons why
I considered buying it. I also like the contract of fabrics, not
sure how well you can see it in this picture but there's a
sort of herringbone fabric on the bottom at on the back of the
jacket. A really nice touch.

Sucker for British High Street

I officially love this time of year. It's Autumn, the leaves are falling off the trees and  its the perfect excuse to start layering, wear more clothes, buy a winter coat or two and just wrap up nice and snug. At the moment I've been going a little crazy with shopping and there's just so many things that I want to buy.
I never used to buy on eBay but recently I've discovered there are some really good sellers that sell shops seconds and ex display items, for so much cheaper than retail price. Really, whats not to love?
I've yet to buy anything off them, but when I do you'll be the first to know.
I did however buy this amazing faux fur gilet off a seller just recently.

It came today in the post, I'm in love. It's from Topshop and RRP'd at £75, I won the auction at £33 which i think is a great deal. It actually looks really real which is a added bonus because faux fur can often be tacky.

I also bought a Floppy Hat. Its from American Apparel and is sold in store for £39, I won the auction at £16 which I was pretty pleased with. It should be delivered in the next few days.

I'm anticipating it's arrival as I've wanted one for ages but rarely wear hats,  so was a bit skeptical about buying one. But whenever I see people wearing them i just die inside and feel the need for one. They're so simple and chic, that I just couldn't resist any longer.

Now on to my WISHLIST.

I am loving the new Save for Later option on ASOS. I just browse through  when i'm bored and then click save for later and come back to it when I can afford it (or when ASOS do that fab 20% off Student Dsicount for a day or two, those days are definitely unavoidable). At the moment I'm dying for a new Winter Coat so I have a few of those on there, as well as some other key autumn/winter pieces.

What do you think? What pieces are you loving for Autumn?

Better late than never - London Fashion Week Sept -2103

Now I may be slightly bias because I'm British, but in my opinion British Designers are the most innovative and exciting. So although this post is fairly out of date considering LFW ended about 2 weeks ago now, I'm still up for giving my praise to those British Designers that I cant get enough of. I decided just to go with two of my faves otherwise id be here all night.

Probably the most affordable range on the catwalk: Topshop Unique
In my eyes Topshop can do no wrong, the rare occasion they do, we forgive them because we love them so.
I can safely say that half of my wardrobe is from Topshop as it's just perfect for the young girl, student, lady who loves to keep up to  date with fashion without spending through the roof.
Topshop Unique say their ideal client is “Someone with her own unique sense of style, who is not afraid to stand out from the crowd.”
Their S/S 2014 collection targets their client perfectly with the combination of neutral colours and bold prints. Knowing my personal sense of style, the Unique show doesn't scream to me, but then it would be debated whether I am their 'ideal  client'. 
Here's a few pieces that I would pick up off the rail.


I'm a sucker for the Topshop Cami's and the Unique Cami dress is gorgeous and elegant in the navy maxi, fun and fresh in the cream and orange and cute and flirty in the shorter two tone.

This tuxedo style jumpsuit is androgynous yet keeps it feminine with a super sexy low cut back. (unfortunately you cant see the back in this snap) 



Now on to Burberry Prorsum
If I had the space and time I would post almost every picture from this catwalk show, so chic and effortless, with pieces that are just timeless and so perfect for Spring. I love this colours in this collection, I just want it all.

LOVE this colour LOVE LOVE LOVE.

It wouldn't be Burberry without a Trench,
this one is light and easy for those warmer breezy days.

A sheer blouse never goes a miss and paired
with this beautiful crochet midi, why not, its simple
but works so well.

What do you think about my two faves? Think I've missed out some key pieces from the collections or
do you think their are other designers worth giving my opinion on?

First Post?

With New York Fashion Week coming to an end and the start of London Fashion Week around the corner, I thought what better way to start my blog than to talk about what I love about the S/S 14 Collections so far.
I don't know about everyone else but I find it hard to think about next spring when it's just turning to Autumn and all I want to think about is  what winter coat I'm going to by next.
But here it goes anyway, let's start with;
Oscar De La Renta.

I don't think the monochrome look will ever
get old, it's so effortlessly chic. Love the
jacket in particular.

This Lace dress is perfect!

I love how he has combined the print on
this dress. It gives a simple dress that edge, and
the prints work so well together.

The detailing on this one is just to die for.

I used to shy away from colour, as you can
probably tell from my previous picks, but I love
the vibrancy of the orange with the embellished
neckline.

This is by far my favourite collection so far, I'm just so anxious for London Fashion Week which in my opinion has a lot more to offer.
What do you think?
