Going with the flow

This is an outfit I wore sometime last week but didn't get time to post, better late than never though! I love converses because they can be worn with/look good with just about anything and they're so comfortable. Been wanting a pair of the high-top versions for agesss, so I think that will be my next treat to myself!

I teamed these with a long skirt and denim jacket but I love that this outfit could very easily be changed into a formal/outing outfit by switching the converses to some pointy-toe heels (or cute pumps) and the denim jacket to a black blazer and.. voilaa a whole new look!!

As I've said before (if I haven't it'll become evident very soon) I have a major obsession with coats and proud to say that I've added two babies to my collection this winter! yaay. lol. Anyway this is one of them - an oversized fur collar type which I got on sale from Debenhams. I got it a size up because size 8 was sold out but I'm glad I did because I can wear big cardigans and jumpers underneath and it still fits perfectly.

Hope you like

Snow Chic: What I'd Wear...

So I've been indoors all day trying to do uni work and every now and again I can't help but do some online 'window' shopping. Since I can't go out in the snow I thought I'd create a virtual outfit of some pieces I've come across & liked which I'd wear on a snowy day! Up until a few months ago I wasn't a big fan of fur but now I can't get enough of it.. (I guess that's one of the best things about fashion, the fact that you grow to love things you swore you'd never wear and then hate things you thought you couldn't live without! LIFE ey!) I especially like this jacket because I think the denim + fur combo has a nice edgy look to it.

Usually I carry an umbrella when its snowing but I'm almost always certain to get a few odd looks so I guess opting for a hat instead is a better idea lol. plus I love the 'Geek' slogan on this one.

Happy Sunday.
Hope you like the fit & Enjoy the snow in whatever you've chosen to brace it in!! :)

African Jewellery

Sometimes I wake up with an urge to wear something random from my wardrobe which I haven't worn for ages and today it was these African necklaces and bracelet! I'm very big on statement jewellery, particularly bold necklaces because I tend to wear a lot of neutral colours and plain tops and shirts so interesting neck wear is always a fun way to jazz up my outfits.

I love African jewellery because its versatile and different (you can bet I didn't bump into anyone at uni wearing similar jewellery to me today!lol) plus it always adds some character to any outfit!

These green jeans were one of my best finds in the sales and I'm already practically living in them! I love the way forest green and leopard print look together - hence the matching belt and pumps![to be honest I just have a ~~secret~~ obsession with leopard print!!lol]
