OUTFIT | TARTAN & LEATHER

jacket, top & jeans: topshop, scarf: h&m, shoes: shoezone, necklace: old, nails: models own 'dancing queen' over essie 'mint candy apple'

I've noticed tartan scarves are really becoming a trend at the moment; and I have shamefully jumped on that trend wagon after trying not to for such a long time. I just really like how they can make an outfit, like this one, a lot more interesting with a pop of colour (for want of a better phrase!). I wore the scarf with my black asymmetric t-shirt from Topshop and then my trusty leather jacket, which has to be my best buy of the year; I wear it almost everyday. 

For my nails I went with a totally not matched shade of mint green and glitter; clash much? I just really could;'t wait to try out the dancing queen polish fro the Models Own Mirrorball collection and my verdict, it is awesome! See a full review here. 

Question; are you a fan of the tartan trend? Let me know!

OUTFIT | KNIT, CAMO & BLACK

Jacket: Topshop
Cardigan: Primark
Dress: H&M
Shoes: Topshop (via ebay)
Watch: Michael Kors

Firstly, I apologise for the drizzly background, the weather is just awful today, I hate looking out of the window and seeing this. That aside, I chose quite a layered outfit today which is odd for me; I'm usually the one who's freezing wearing only one or two layers.

This black dress from H&M has a appeared in several of my outfit posts because it literally goes with anything, and can be worn as a dress or a skirt, which is great. I layered a thick knit cardigan and then my trusty camouflage jacket over the top; I really like the light knit shade with the jacket print, I think it's just a bit different than a black cardigan or just the jacket on its own.

I want to know your thoughts on camouflage jackets. I see them a lot, especially around university (saw at least three people wearing the same one today!) but I'm wondering whether it's just a fashion 'phase' or if it'll be a recurring trend like military? Either way I think I'll be wearing mine a lot even if it isn't so 'in' as it seems to be now.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and a great bonfire night last night! :)

NEW THINGS

Hello! I want to start by apologising for my lack of 'proper' posts. I've just not had any inspiration as of late, but now, it's back with a vengeance and I bring you...new things! I actually went shopping on saturday with my mum as I'm wanting to completely revamp my wardrobe. After initially having a bad start with not finding anything, I did eventually find some things I liked - quite a few things - and I'd thought it'd be nice to share what I bought with you guys :) I suppose you could call this a 'haul' but I wanted to call it new things instead, I don't really like the way haul sounds anyway...

Jewellery : Topshop (all half price!)
Cuff Necklaces : H&M
Zebra Print Dress : H&M
Floral Shirt : H&M
Spiked Sweatshirt : Topshop
Speckle Knit : Topshop
Neon Knit : Topshop
'Hoodie' (hate that word) : Primark
Denim Jacket : Ragged Priest at Topshop
Snakeskin Leather Loafers : New Look
Toms : Schuh
Nail Polishes : Models Own - Beach Party & Nude Beige, Essie - Lapiz of Luxury, Barry M - Peach Melba

As you can probably tell, I went a tad Topshop mad, they just had so many lovely things and I had a voucher for there anyway so I just thought, why not? I picked up a Raged Priest denim jacket which I was so excited about when I saw it. It was in the sale for almost half price and although a tad big, it's perfect for layering up :). Also, after hearing about these everywhere, I got a 'hoodie' - is there any other word to describe it? - from Primark. It was odd buying from the mens section...but it is sooooo comfy and it looks good under the denim jacket too so I don't care haha.

I've found that H&M has an amazing range of cuff jewellery at the moment and so I picked up two necklaces - a thinner and a thicker cuff - which I have seen on so many blogs and youtubers and I finally managed to get to a store and buy them. They will just go with anything! Sticking with jewellery, the top photo is all bought from Topshop a week or so ago but I thought I'd still include it. They were, and still are I think, having a 50% off a large amount of the jewellery and I got these four beauties for just £20, bargain!

The nail polishes you'll see shortly on separate posts I'm sure. I actually reviewed the Models Own Nude Beige polish here, so check that out and keep a look out for the other three. I'm also pretty certain that a lot of these items will appear in upcoming ootd's eventually, it's just, at the moment all I really wear is work clothes during the week and no one wants to see them haha.

I hope you enjoyed my little 'new things' post, I ask you, where is your favourite store to buy clothes from?
