W I N T E R HAUL

I've been doing a bit of on-line shopping recently, as i haven't had much time to go out into town, due to A Level work. So nothing compares to being in the comfort of your own home wrapped up in a blanket and spending money on some fabulous clothing! a few of these items you might have seen in my river island wish list, however, i saw them on sale on line and just had to buy them straight away! I have recieved a few of these items, but the river island clothing, i have to collect from store so, in the christmas holidays i will be doing ootd, so stay tuned for that, which will feature these!

Enjoy!

Leopard Print Sweatshirt, River island, £28

If you didnt know already i am absolute obsessed with Leopard Print, all thanks to Justin Bieber! I used to despise it and think of it as tacky, but now i have come to my senses and realised its the coolest print on the planet! So when i saw this sweat shirt i had to buy it! Its a timeless piece and is perfect for those days when you want something easy, yet cool... and they would go perfect with the leather trousers...

Black Perforated Faux Leather Trousers, River Island, £15

now these trousers are an absolute bargain, originally £30, you cannot go wrong, there are still all the sizes available so you have to get them! they are cuffed at the bottom, and are perforated, which make it different from all the other leather trousers out there. They're so effortless and cool. and so versatile, they can be worn street, or chic if paired with white pointed courts and a white sweatshirt or roll neck jumper. 

Leopard Print Phone Case, ASOS, £8

Now i have recently purchased the iphone 5S, in gold, which i am absolutely in love with, and i couldn't dare see it smashed, or even the slightest scratch i would cry for (no i am not over exaggerating)... But this has arrived and i love it, the material it is made out of.. some sort of really soft and smooth plastic, just makes me want to touch my phone all the time! the only downfall is that it doesn't protect the front. So right now my phone is living in a clear plastic front and back cover which is used for day to day, so when i am going out i can always switch it up, as i am gathering quite a collection!  

Gold Holographic Handbag, River Island, £10

now this bag i have wanted for so long and was featured in m  river island wishlist post, which i will link here. Now this bag was originally £22, which i wasn't willing to pay, so when i was just generally browsing, and i saw River Island had updated their sale line, i just had to buys it straight away. its an absolute steal for just £10 I REPEAT £10!!!! its a beautiful bag that is so versatile used as a day to day bag and also a night clutch bag! GO GET IT 

Blue High Shine A Line Skirt, River Island, £10

Now this skirt again is an absolute steal, so you guys need to always keep checking the river island sale stock on line, cause they're adding new pieces as we speak! this PVC, vinyl texture we've seen everywhere, especially the infamous topshop  baby pink vinyl pencil skirt. I'm not a fan of the pencil skirt personally, and i think i suit more structure, a line, skater shapes. so when i saw this skirt for originally £25 to just £10 i was in awe and added it straight to my bag before you could say "bag" yupp that quick! 

High Waisted Checkered Trousers, Monki- ASOS, £25 SOLDOUT :(

Now i am so upset, as these have sold out, but check both asos and monki regularly to see if they will bring it back. these are perfect for this winter as they are so flattering, with their high waisted tapered style, with black and white checks, they fall into the trends perfectly. they're not so checkered, that they're in your face, like my red checkered scarf, so they keep the trend effortless and cool, rather than punk and grunge They work for both day and night and honestly are perfection. The fit perfectly, and i seriously cannot wait to pair them with some Chelsea boots. Ill be doing a post on cheap and cheerful Chelsea boots tomorrow so keep an eye on that ;) 

Holographic Tshirt, River Island £10

This tshirt was also seen in my river island wish list, when i went a bit holgraphic ott ;) but i love this tshirt so much, and seriously cannot wait tp wear it! its an absolute steal for £10 from £22 so grab it while you can! 

Longline Bomber Jacket, Monki- ASOS, £30

I have been after a bomber jacket for years.. now i mean years. just the perfect one has never come my way  until i laid my eyes on this beauty... its both smart and swag, i can hear you scramming"PERFECTION"  its both a long winters coat..and a cool bomber jacket. the perfect combination. 

Cobalt Blue Barry M Nail Polish,River Island,£3

finally i have been looking for an awesome cobalt blue nail polish everywhere, and it is all sold out in boots and superdrug, so i found this while browsing on river island, and just had to buy! love love love! 

R I V E R I S L A N D WISHLIST

Every two weeks, i will upload a wishlist of mine for this A/W from the high street and online stores.Today, its River Island, they've really upped their game when it comes to the wondrous world of fashion, their collections are so diverse, and so in this little montage, ive included all the pieces i love, and hopefully you do too, so while browsing online , i've picked a variety of things that range from street style, casuals and glam days. ENJOY!...

Holographic Studded Snapback, £18 (available here)

I love love love my snapbacks, but i am more into my fashion ones rather than the original sports ones. And i totally recommend either River Island or Ebay for the coolest snapback ranges ever. On a recent venture to London, in a small sci-fi store they had merchandise from all of the most awesome films ever. Including the Marty Back to the Future II cap , which looked exactly like this, without the studs, but for double the price. i love the gold studs  as i love wearing gold jewellery and so this is just an excellent way to let my gold jewellery match the snapback. 

Gold Holographic Bag, £18 (available here)

Going along the holographic theme, i adore this bag, because its so different to your usual holographic print as it has tones of gold rather than silver, which i prefer. Its such a lush bag, they have so many different colours, it works both as an evening clutch and bag, but also a day bag too!

Blue Perspex Clutch, £17 (available here)

I've seen these clutch everywhere but not as cheap as this! its in the mid season sale, so i would definitely grab it on line while its still in stock! Its however different to others ive seen due to the embellishment, adding sophistication and expense. Would go perfect with any evening outfit. 

Black Monk Shoes, £25 (available here)

These shoes are the must have shoe this season! they go with absolutely anything and everything, they're so versatile and they are the new spin on your typical brogue. For the price they're great as they are £30 plus in other retailers. So highly recommend and will definitely be getting my self a pair for sure! 

Fashion Addict T-Shirt, £15 (available here)

Everyone needs a staple white tshirt in their wardrobe. Especially this when it relates so perfectly aha, i definilty think this will be an all year wearable item, and for the bargain price its so worth it.

PVC Front Trousers, £35 (available here)

I need these in my life asap! yes everyone has their faux leather jeans but nothing compares to these! they're such a staple piece this winter, and plus you keep warm, compared to the PVC skirts Ive seen around in topshop. 

Silver Bomber Jacket £20 (available here)

This jacket is awesome! its so damn cool! i love it, and want it badly, its such an easy staple piece, linking with the metallic trends this season, and its now on sale going quickly so i'd grab it while you can! 

Red Sequin Embellished Tube Skirt, £65 (available here)

This skirt is so beautiful, and i recently saw this in my local store and its so well made and heavy  similar to my birthday outfit . It looks so Christmas  with the colors and i just think its an absolute timeless piece, with such elegance and poise. 

Black Sequin Embellished Maxi Dress, £125 (available here)

Ive been looking around for a dress for my schools' ball. And this one is definitely one of the options. its such a gorgeous looking dress and it will definitely catch everyones attention with the detailed embellishment, if you are looking for a stunning evening dress i totally recommend!

White Biker Coat, £80 (available here)

This coat is an absolute staple for this winter, it has the edginess of a biker jacket and yet the chicness of a smart winters coat. This coat is also bang on trend with the monochrome detailing. I want this coat so badly and i have already started saving! for a cheaper alternative i would go check out the black biker coat from Sheinside, here . 

Grey Mongolian Fur Gilet, £150 (available here)

This gilet is everything and more. It just looks so beautiful and unique, and its limited edition due to the mongolian fur and so you should grab it while you can! This gilet would add glam to any outfit and is a must have piece this winter. It is highly expensive, however that is due to the quality so i personally think it is worth it.

J E W E L L E R Y HAUL

Hey guys, sorry about not posting for a while... so i thought i would so you a few bits and bobs jewellery wise I've picked up recently in the sales, mainly from h&m, yes i am more of a fashionista but no outfit is complete without a piece of jewellery! i will be posting an A/W haul and also a lookbook, which is in progress so keep an eye for that...MWAH x

So this is just an insight of my jewellery drawer, it looks very messy. but i liked the picture it looked arty so i thought i would post it up ;)

This necklace was from the H&M sale in my local store for a bargain of £3! Words cannot describe how amazing this necklace is, its so fabulous, and the close up highlights the multi coloured twisted rope inside the plastic tubing, the colours are lime, blue and pink and they just look beautiful together, i love how quirky this necklace is and was so happy to find it, i was literally down on my hands and knees looking in the mess of jewelery in the store! it was totally worth it!

This is another necklace purchased from H&M for £5 and again this necklace is so different and nothing you would expect from the high street, unfortunately i couldn't find any of the jewelery from H&M on their website, so just make sure to check out your local stores and hunt them down! This is a lovely bronze/copper chain necklace with pearlescent marbles attached to it. This necklace is so heavy and the quality is excellent i cant wear to pair this with my recently purchased highwaisted boyfriend jeans and a simple white t shirt, it will add so much individuality and glam to it. 

This again is from H£M and not as special as the others, however it was only £3 and ive seen something very similar on Topshop, however for triple the price, its a really lovely easy neckalce to go with anything, adding some edge and colour. so i totally think this is a bargain !!!!

Another item from H&M which is quite simple,  are these pack of ear cuffs in both silver and gold. These are just a must have for daily fashion, they add a bit of earswag to anything, so these are just a simple basic and for £1.99 you cant go wrong!

And finally from H&M is this beautiful statement duo ring linked with a chain, the gold rings are so chunky and this is so perfect for layering, with above the knuckle rings..etc They were £2 so they were absolutely perfect.

And lastly for the haul are these set of four rings from river island (i was wearing the other one at the time) they were £4 and again are perfect for layering with other gold jewellery, i am a gold person and not much of a silver fan so these would go with all my rings, i prefer to wear these on the thumb as they are quite chunky and add some fierceness.

........So that was the end of this little Haul I just thought i would share these with you so that you can also grab your hands on these bargains! Thank you and speak to you in my next post!....... 

T R E N D S

These are some of the items ive been eyeing that fit perfectly for A/W and for my personal style....

Pharaoh T shirt - Mr Gugu  (£29)
 I absolutely love my graphic t's they are absolutely timeless so when i was doing my much needed browsing i absolutely fell in love with this pharaoh one is perfection, I am a fan of Egyptology and so this is perfect, with all the gold and brown tones perfect for A/W. I love mrgugu and their collections, they are so imaginative and creative, so definitely go check them out ASAP

Leather Look Joggers - Topshop (£38)
Leather joggers are just a must-have this season, and i love these pair from topshop, Selena Gomez was recently seen wearing them on GMA and she looked fab in them. They are so versatile, and can be worn dressy with barely there heels or casual with high tops. 

Black Vinyl Skirt - Topshop (£38)
Everyone needs a bit of vinyl this season. And with so PVC and vinyl used on the catwalk this skirt is a must. yes its a bit pricey, but i personally think it is worth it, timeless, and so different and looks so chic and designer

Green Cassio Digital Watch - Asos (£20)
Well,you cant go wrong with a classic watch, however when i saw the coloured collection i was amazed at how gorgeous they are, i mean they're just fabulous! i love all the colours, and for such an amazing price you might as well splurge on all of them!

Fluffy Pink Boyfriend Coat - Topshop (£89)
Now, the infamous pink boyfriend coat is in. However i think that this one from topshop beats them all, with the added texture, i felt it in store and it is almost like horse skin....hopefully not horse skin...but lovely and soft and not itchy at all, and the weather is starting to get colder, so would be a classic to cover up this season. 

Cut Out Buckle Boots - Ebay  (£29)
Ive seen these boots everywhere, and i can always rely on ebay to be selling them for a decent price! These shoes are awesome, and so great for A/W love love love!

Grey Tartan Pyjama top - River Island (£18)
right, so when i saw this i thought it was a tshirt...but its a pyjama top....awkward. But hey, i would actually where this on a casual day with a pair of leggings and you're off, or with leather jeans and  it would so work!

Camo Print Varsity Jacket - River Island  (£90)
Personally, i am on the hunt for the perfect bomber jacket so when i saw this i was in awe, with the camo print and the G4LIFE slogan on the back, its so swag it hurts. But the price....its part of the rihanna for river island collection, so i suppose that explains it. I am going to continue to look for the perfect one and if i cant find anything then i best start saving now!
