Wardrobe Raid

It's Christmas and I'm skint!

Blouse: Urban Outfitters (Personalised by me)

Jumper: Miss Selfridge

Leather: Miss selfridge

Watch: Michael Kors

Hat: H&M

So with it being Christmas time, I have not really brought many clothes for myself recently (Other than my coat in my last post). So, instead I've had to improvise and this means raiding my wardrobe for some old gems!

So the other day I was meeting my friend who has just came back from university and wanted something casual to wear. I came across these pieces that I have owned for literally years!

The blouse from Urban Outfitters is pretty plain but to spice it up and make it current I brought some studs off eBay and attached them to the collar! I now love this top! Small details make a big impact.

I layered on top a textured jumper from Miss Selfridge to keep me a little warmer and because I loooove layers!

Anyone who knows me will know I'm 'a watch person', I just love the arm candy a watch brings! My dream is to one day own a Rolex (dreams can come true!) For now I stick to Michael kors, Their watches are so chic and gorgeous! The bigger, the better.

I hoped you enjoyed this post,

My new coat!!!!

 06/12/12



So I got a new coat woooo!

I've been wanting/needing a new coat for so long, I have so many jackets and leathers but nothing to keep me warm in '- degrees' so I took a trip to Derby-Westfeild last week for some Christmas shopping and as a quest to find a new coat!

The first shop I went in was Topshop and whilst falling in love with almost everything on every hanger and every shelf, my eyes were then drawn to THIS COAT! Okay so it was slightly pricey at £110 (ooops) but it's sooo warm and I love the over-sized feel of it, the fur and I'm pretty sure it's going to last a long time!

The fur collar is attachable so the coat has two looks, it also means I can attach the fur to my other jackets too, like my leather jacket :) > 

(sorry about the poor photo)

I have found other coats and jackets for the winter that I also really like:

1. ASOS

2.Miss Guided

3. Boohoo

4. Very.com

Today I love...

 

Beige over-sized stud collar blouse - River Island - £28.00 

Panelled matted wetlook legins - Topshop - £22.00

Grey herringborne blazer - River Island - £35.00

Autumn Leather Ankle Boots - ASOS - £60.00

Front tab detail doctors bag - ASOS - £40.00

Black & ribbon Hat - H&M - £7.99

 

 

I have put together a look that is ideal and on trend for this season using the good old high street! As it's my first proper post on blogspot I have used my own personal style and favourite items to create it. I hope you like it.

 

This outfit uses quite neutral colours which keeps the overall look casual and laid back and a day to day outfit. whilst browsing online and doing some internet shopping (something I do most days) I came across this baggy top from River Island. Collars are something I AM LOVING at the moment, my wardrobe is cluttered by collar after collar in every possible colour you can think of.

 

Because of the nature of the top being quite simple, by layering this blazer over the top it adds texture and excitement (and of course warmth in these freezing conditions!) The blazer is also a bargain at only £35, grab it while you can!

 

For me, I NEVER wear flats, well very rarely (however I do love my Converse). But trying to go through a day wearing heels is a nightmare and so I love the fact that the heeled ankle boot is in at the moment, comfort & style! And these ankle boots I have picked out from ASOS, although a little pricey for the high street are rough and ready and will last a lifetime!

 

'Less is more' is a famous saying and by using fairly neutral colours throughout, by then adding a big necklace it creates a statement. This look is far from plain!

 

The hat from H&M also livens up and accessorises the look. H&M is a great place to shop at the moment, I love it. From basic T's to a full outfit, you can get everything there and it's soooo cheap!    <3 it! 

 

If you want a nice handbag, there's only one place to go and that's ASOS! The selection is fab with a range of prices. I especially love this doctors bag which I have picked out as it would literally go with anything.

 

Let me know what you think of this post!

 

Much loves,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

27/11/2012 .. my first post!

The time has come!  Time:15:20

I have been wanting to do this for soooooo long and now I have finally decided to give it a go! Blogging is something i have always followed and enjoyed reading and now it is my time to blog about the huge LOVE that I have for style, fashion and beautiful things that set me into 'excitable' mode.

I am 18 years old and I have recently finished sixth form (I miss school already, something I didn't think I would be saying!). Next September I will be taking the plunge into student life and I will be studying Fashion Retail Management at Birmingham City University! I CANNOT WAIT!

For me fashion is a form of art which pulsates through the world of glamour, television and to us 'normal' people at home. From high end to the high street we are all surrounded by the F word.

I will be blogging about, high street loves, BaRgAiN buys, Designer favourites, my own personal style and everything in between! However, although I'm used to reading blogs, making one is something I have never done properly before so please bare with!

Many loves,

Meg xo
