My Tan Accident...



So i splurged a little over the weekend oops! I bought a bag from my work (Karen Millen), although it may have cost a little more than i wanted to spend i love it!

This bag shall carry me right throught to next spring summer which will be just in time for me to buy my next bag ha! As it's a pretty neutral colour it will go with everything for autumn winter. Tan is a pretty easy colour to pull off. I think it goes really well with a dark denim and some nice chunky knits for winter, so this may be my staple look for this winter!

As you can see it's a tan leather with lots of buckles and zips on it to keep it interesting. The leather has an aged look about which i like as it looks like the bag has been loved and doesn't look so clean cut which sometimes can look boring. I like my bags to look loved and used as it makes them look more interesting.

On the inside of the bag it has a lovely red lining with tan detailing which really proves the quality of the bag as cheaper bags may not have lining and definately wouldn't have the leather detailing on the inside of the bag. So all and all it was a great purchase for the winter!

My little bargain!

So i had a girls night out at the weekend and had the usual dilemma about what to wear! I was sick of wearing dresses and fancied a change so i popped into town to find myself something to wear.

Whilst shoppping i came across a cute leopard print jumpsuit, which i instantly fell in love with. It fitted in with exactly with what i was looking for.....it wasnt a dress and it was unusual. To make things even better i then looked at the price £10 in the sale in new look! I was definately having this one!

Whilst wearing it i got so many compliments asking where i got it from as it was so flattering. I think these types of outfits are always easy to wear and can be dressed up for a more formal occassion or it can be dressed down for during the day with leather jacket and some flat pumps.

This is the second jumpsuit i have bought, at first i was unsure of them because of my height as im only 5'2 i thought they may drown me. Infact they did the total opposite, it elongated my body as the legs of it are long and flared it made my legs look SO much longer! I wore  my jumpsuit with a belt on my waist just to break up the leopard print as i thought it perhaps looked a bit much.

I have uploaded some photos for you to see the jumpsuit!

My Autumn Winter Must Haves!

Ahh here it goes i have never blogged before so this is my first! Eeek!

Autumn/Winter fashion is my favourite! All those chunky knits, scarfs, boots and general warmth of winter clothes gets me excited for the autumn winter fashion! For autumn winter 2011 I have already picked out a few items that will definately make it into my winter wardrobe.

A few of these pieces being, a collar necklace which can be worn during the day to add some glitz to a plain t-shirt or can be worn at night to accessorise your outfit perfectly. This is an easy item to take you from day to night swiftly!

Another piece which is going to make my winter wardrobe yet again is my beloved fur coat! I bought it two years ago and I love it to death. Its a simple black short fur jacket but it seems to go with everything that I put on, I can dress it down with a pair of jeans and biker boots or it can be just a gorgeous thrown over a little black dress on a night out. No matter the weather I always love to wear this jacket, if its really cold i'll even throw a big scarf over it to make me extra warm! I'm just glad its winter again so i can dig it out!

My favourite thing I have bought so far for winter is my camel fedora hat, this is a 70's trend which I think will be huge this season! I am still yet to wear it but i am just waiting for a rainy day so i can use it to cover my hair!

One final last piece that I am going to be wearing this winter is an aubergine chunnky knit cardi! I have still yet to find the perfect one, on the lookout! Aubergine is going to be huge this winter as can be seen in all the fashion magazines. I plan on wearing this colour in the form of a chunky style knit as I mentioned which can be thrown on over jeans and a t-shirt to uni to keep me cosy!!
