Girls not grey

Coat: ASOS | Tee: H&M | Jeans: Levi's | Shoes: River Island| Bag: Chanel

Is it just me or is anyone else struggling with dressing for this weather? One minute there's a chill in the air and a promise of colder days being just around the corner, then the next...bright sunshine and temperatures edging 20 degrees. 

So I was probably underestimating the weather with this coat and I did start to feel like I was slowly cooking as the day wore on but I couldn't wait any longer. I bought this coat months ago in an ASOS sale and have been patiently waiting for its first outing. 

I'd been looking for a grey coat for a while to help break up my regular all black outfits and loved how this coat could also add some extra texture. Now I'm just debating whether to go for the Topshop teddy coat. Well lets face it. You can never be too prepared for the winter chill!

One year to go!

So it's exactly one year till I say I do, which means I now have to kick my butt into gear and organise the million and one things needed to make the day perfect. 

I'm off to the Wedding Fair at Event City tomorrow for some inspiration and then in two weeks time I'm off to go and try on some wedding dresses...clearly the best part of being engaged...well that and tasting all the cakes! 

As much as I'm looking forward to trying on dresses I'm also really anxious. I've always been someone that knows exactly what style I'm after when it comes to clothing, but for some reason when I close my eyes I just can't seem to picture me wearing any specific style of dress. This is either a blessing as I'll be open to options or a curse and I'll still be there trying on my 100th gown. 

I would feel sorry for the poor shop assistant that will have to deal with me that day but as it's actually going to be one of my best friends I may just try on 100 anyway...just because I can! Hehe

Today's Inspiration: Fur

Photos: Tumblr

I love mixing up the textures in my outfits, with leather and fur a particular favourite. 

So with fur being a key staple again for A/W I'm fully embracing this fluffy trend as much as I can. From furry slip ons to that Topshop faux fur clutch there are now more options than ever to mix up those textures.

How will you be wearing fur this A/W?

Storage Wars

I'm currently on a mission to declutter my life so a trip to Ikea was definitely in order. 

I actually went to specifically get a new Billy Bookcase but they'd sold out of the white (sad face), but it's all good as it just gives me another excuse to go back soon. 

They'd also sold out of the cacti I wanted and so I settled for this cute little snake plant, which I'm actually now getting rather attached to. I'm terrible with plants so I'm really hoping that it doesn't die anytime soon.  

I also picked up these little glass pots, perfect for storing my cotton wool pads and buds; a dish for my rings (although it's actually a candle holder), a plant pot for my make up brushes and a glass jar for my nail polishes...all for under £15. Bargain!

Fix Up, Look Sharp

Shoes: Mango

I know this is another post about shoes...I do buy clothes, honest! But I just wanted to do a quick post to declare my love for these beauties. 

I've been on the hunt for a simple pair of flats that are appropriate for dinner dates with the boy when I can't be bothered with heels (we all have those days) and these will definitely do the trick. Anyone else loving all the pointed flats available at the moment?

Black Magic

Coat: Topshop | T-Shirt: H&M | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: Topshop

OK, first of all I am aware that I am wearing sunglasses inside in these photos, but I was in a bit of a rush to go out and the bags under my eyes were so horrific that I really didn't want to have to subject you to them. 

So I've been on a hunt for a new coat recently and despite my substantial collection, I didn't actually own a plain black everyday coat. I'd spied a few in Zara that I was deliberating but then I found this beauty in Topshop. Sure it's pretty plain...but that's exactly what I wanted. Something that I could easily throw on rather than having to plan an outfit around.

And I know this seems like a bit of a Topshop heavy post today but they just had sooooo many amazing pieces in that I couldn't resist. I particularly love these zip pocket jeans which I think work really well with the chelsea boots. 

I finally feel ready to take on A/W '14!

Today's Inspiration: Autumn Coats

The best thing about the beginning of Autumn? Shopping for new coats. I'm thinking a creme, knee-length, wool blend piece is going to be adding itself to my wishlist.
