I'm all buttoned up and ready to go these days, I never use to be the one for wearing coats unless it's absolutely cold. As I have gotten older, I do realise it's more sensible, so now my goal is to try and find nice coats and jackets to keep me looking and feeling good. Today it wasn't too cold, but I found my old coat - naturally I wanted to do a blog post with it. I never thought I would enjoy doing Autumn style OOTD, but I actually love doing them. Although, I am not looking forward to the clock changing - worst part about winter I say!

I've never been one for Winter, or Autumn for that matter. This year I will aim to embrace the season and welcome multi layering and bulky boots. After my holiday in a few weeks time summer will be way gone, even though it is August it doesn't really seem like it; let's put it this way I have had to wear my wooly cardigan more than a few occasions. I'm a big fan of Primark footwear and Home ware, and I grabbed two bargain shoes from their shelves. Usually my size is almost always sold out, but luckily they had my size! These really cute cut-out flats are really adorable. They kind of remind me of school shoes, but in a fun, nerdy way.. If I were you, I'd grab a pair because these are my new Autumn staple shoe! x

Jeans are an all over year must have. They're versatile and change throughout the seasons to match the trends and weather. Ripped jeans, especially mom jeans and boyfriend jeans are a big trend alert, allowing you to wear your favorite staple while keeping you cool and looking stylish. I have been hunting for some stylish ripped jeans that are the perfect tone and shape. Today, I am wearing Hidden Fashion and they're great value for money.

ASOS do some pretty cool ripped denim's, some more subtle than others which is nice. If you're looking for a less of a rip and more of a 'I grazed my knee' then you need to head to TopShop. For a variety of brands at affordable and a more pricey range then ShopStyle.co.uk have a good choice of colours. One of m favorites from the website is BooHoo's version!

Are you digging ripped jeans or are you more into Mom jeans? x

We all have a nerdy side. FACT.
If it be Fiction books or Star wars, we all have something we adore that might be considered a bit childish or somewhat. Well mine is Harry Potter (and Paramore). Even when I'm 40 and old, I know that I will always watch and read and adore Harry Potter. Little fact about me is that when the last book came out I got it the day of release and I didn't leave the house until I read every page and I told all my friends to not call ..haha!
When I saw this top on SheInside I just crumbled, I needed it. So here it is, in all it's glory. I kind of went for the black and white theme today, unintentionally of course. As the weather isn't picking up I have gone for a grunge boho look.

The weather isn't really picking up, but that doesn't mean I can't dress for the summer! I practically wear summer clothes throughout the entire year anyway (I should be a Cali girl, I swear). One thing I can always rely on for a quick style fix is Forever 21. I swear they are just perfect..
I was so glad when we got a Forever21 in Birmingham, I think the UK should really invest in more American / International stores. To mix it all up a little. Today's OOTD is a Zebra Print Tee from Forever21 and it's so soft and light weight. To bring a boost of brightness I present you my new favorite shorts.. these are from SheInside and they're just the cutest shorts ever. I was a bit apprehensive at first when getting white shorts but I think it was a smart move. You sort of need a rainbow of shorts in your wardrobe.

I've added a beauty instalment today as I want to show you some key products I have been using that I adore..
Kate Moss' LipStick collection is so cute, I love this pink rose colour. I use it very lightly to boost my lip colour and it sort of matches my hair so that is an added bonus!!
In the center I have an eyebrow pencil. I have been using normal eyebrow pencil for years but lately I just wasn't impressed. I was searching online and saw this new pencil and it comes with a highlighter and I really like this. It's gentle compared to the pencil and the nib of the brow colour is soft.

We all know that looking after your skin is super important so I decided to give sun lotion a go for my facial regime. I am impressed with the results I must say, although sun lotion is slightly oily I don't think it effects my type of skin and sun lotion is suppose to be good for anti-ageing. So in ten years time, I will let you know the outcome ;)

Soo, when you run out of clothes and ideas. Just put anything with everything and call it an outfit. That's literally what I did this week. I am in dire need to revamp my wardrobe. One article at a time... x

Today I went for the smart look. I haven't bought new clothes for a while so I tried to refresh my wardrobe into a different look. My boyfriend shorts are a key piece in my weekly outfits, these will definitely see me right through to the more sunnier times (yes I mean summer). The blazer was from eBay and it's light weight, making it easy to wear and the cute lining gives it style! I love a good, old graphic tee. I don't buy them much any more but the ones that I have, I adore. This one is by Illustrated People from TopShop I managed to grab in the sale a few years back. It's one of my devoted tee's I will ever own.

If you could mash two styles (or even trends) together, what would it be? x
