Shoeaholics Sale - £39 And Under

Hello! Just thought I'd quickly share with you a few pictures of these gorgeous Kurt Geiger White Carly strapped heels that I received from http://www.shoeaholics.com/. I chose these as I thought that they looked summery and they're perfect for both daytime and nighttime. The chunky heel makes them easy to walk in, and the buckle around the ankle makes sure that your foot won't escape mid-walk! These would look gorgeous with a tan and for £39.00 (they were previously £85.00), they're a complete bargain for a pair of designer shoes!

Check out their website www.shoeaholics.com - you're bound to find a pair that you absolutely love for £39.00 or under! The sale ends Monday 20th!

Snuggly Winter OOTD: Ft. Blue Vanilla*

Well, Happy New Year (better late than never!) I can't believe this is my first post of 2015, I'm an absolutely awful blogger. College is wearing me down at the minute, so I need to concentrate on my exams and coursework. I'll try and keep up with my blog but expect fewer posts from me over these next few months. Hopefully I'll be back to normal fairly soon though (I have a few posts lined up that I'm looking forward to writing).

I recently received this gorgeous Reanna Roll Neck Checked Poncho from Blue Vanilla the other week and it's perfect for winter. I've wanted a poncho for a while now, so when I got this delivered I knew it was spot on as soon as I tried it on. You can throw it on over pretty much any outfit; it's like being snuggled in a big blanket!

The checked pattern is really trendy as well and the subtle design adds a bit of colour, but also keeps it basic, making it versatile! It comes in one size, so fits pretty much everybody and it has a thick roll neck so it keeps me warm in the chilly weather.

It reminds me of a big, warm picnic blanket with the frayed hemline at the bottom. I love wearing this when I haven't got much to wear, as I can throw it on top of my outfit and no-one will ever know what dreadful top I'm wearing underneath!

This originally cost £30.00 but has reduced down to £15.00. 

Check out Blue Vanilla here.

I'll definitely be shopping here in the Spring! It looks like a great online shop filled with my sort of clothes!

Wanted: Winter Boots

It's that time of year again - welcome to my cold feet, winter boots! I love a good pair of boots, they're so cosy and there's so many out there that you can find to go with plenty of outfits! I like to have a pair of boots with a good grip on the bottom, perfect for when the paths start getting icy. It's also nice to have a pair that look classy and are great to go shopping in. And then there's the everyday type of boot - casual and pretty-looking!

1. H&M Knee-High Boots - £34.99
I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them and they have to be one of my favourite pairs that I picked out! They're suede and have a zip at the side; they look really sophisticated! 

2. Boohoo Whitney Suedette Pointed Block Chelsea Boot - £28.00
These plain casual boots are perfect for wearing everyday and would go with a variety of outfits. I'd probably wear these for college; they look comfy and I like the little added heel.

3. New Look Tan Faux Fur Lined Cross Strap Boots - £19.99
Ideally, I'd wear these in the snow as they're really similar to Ugg boots (and Ugg boots are the only shoes that keep my feet warm in the snow - wellies are awful!) I love boots that are lined with soft fur on the inside; they're incredibly comfy - and cute!

4. New Look Tan Faux Shearling Cuff Lace Up Block Heel Boots - £29.99
Another favourite pair that I picked out. I can't stop looking at these, they're absolutely stunning! If you have these, I'm incredibly jealous haha! I love the fact that they're lace up and have a fur cuff; you can also get these in black! I don't normally like wearing a heel during the day (even a small one) but I know that boots with a heel have become popular to wear these days - so I could possibly brave these for college!

5. H&M Ankle Boots - £29.99
Another pair with fur lining. I love tanned boots lately and these look incredibly comfy! They're similar to the second pair, but these look like they have more of a grip on the bottom, which is ideal for snow. They're also quite stretchy, so easy to just slip on.


6. New Look Black Leather Buckle Trim High Leg Boots - £64.99
Another classy pair that are incredibly attractive! Even though they're quite pricey (sadly because they're real leather) they drew me in straight away. I think every girl wants a pair of gorgeous black boots - but at the moment I can only dream haha!

It pains me to say that I probably won't be buying all of these, but a girl can dream! Maybe if I win the lottery or something ;)

Will you be investing in a new pair of winter boots?

Autumn College OOTD: Ft. CelebLook*

T-Shirt, Jeans & Bag: H&M

Scarf & Shoes: Primark

Cardigan: CelebLook

I recently got the opportunity to pick something off of www.celeblook.co.uk to review and now that it's getting colder, I decided to pick something thick and warm as I know that I'll wear it often these next few months. I incorporated it into this outfit of the day that I wore for college, alongside a plain white T, a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a black leather bag from H&M. I also wore a cream scarf and my new black suede boots from Primark; I went for quite a plain, casual look as the cardigan's bold aztec print is the main focus of the outfit.

I love thick woolly knits in the autumn and winter time, as they're so cosy and manage to keep you snuggled up and warm throughout the day. I love the bold print on this cardigan and the neutral colours, which means it will go with a lot of outfits. It's really thick and loose, which means you don't have to worry when ordering online about the sizing.

On CelebLook, the sizing isn't that specific; most of their clothes range from small to large but they also have a plus size range too, meaning there are clothes to fit everybody! The clothes are reasonably priced and there a whole load to choose from; from pretty dresses to winter coats ready for the upcoming season.

A lot of their clothes are celebrity inspired (hence the name) and their autumn selection is jam-packed with oversized parkas, chunky knits and faux fur coats!

Back To College: Autumn Haul

I haven't posted in God knows how long - I've been so busy with getting ready for college and playing with my new puppy hehe! But I'm back today with a haul for you, just to let you know that I'm still wanting to blog. I haven't given up, I'm just having to work around things - sadly, work comes first before my hobby.

Knowing that I was going back to college, I looked in my wardrobe to find flip-flops, vest tops and summer dresses - not very suitable for the autumn weather that'll be approaching us soon. I knew I needed to buy a few warmer bits and bobs, so I went into H&M and Primark (my two favourite shops!)

I love H&M - especially for basics! I picked up some lovely autumn tops (I say autumn because they're not cool enough for summer, but not warm enough for winter; they're sort of in between!) They're great for layering though, so they'll do for winter as well! I'm really loving plums and greys at the minute, so I managed to pick up a couple of things in them shades. They aren't too thick either, so hopefully I won't be too hot (which I always am at college because the central heating is through the roof!)

H&M is my favourite place to buy jeans from - I love the fit! I find them really flattering so I bought a pair of light blue skinny jeans. I have these in a slightly darker shade too - they're my favourite!!

I also went into Primark and bought some slip on black pumps. They were only cheap, but they're easy to slip on and they go with most outfits! I got some black suede boots too for when the weather gets worse; they seem like good quality, so hopefully they'll see me through winter!

Have you done any autumn/winter shopping yet?

LYDC Bag Review*

BUY IT HERE:

http://www.haveyouseen.com/4x47

I recently received the Axl Metallic Messenger Bag by Anna Smith in Black from LYDC. It's new for this year's summer collection and it's a very good quality bag. At £32.00, it supplies plenty of room if you were to use it for school or college and has plenty of compartments available (for pens, girly things and makeup!) There are two slip pockets at the front and a large pocket on the back. There's also two slip pockets inside the bag, another large zip pocket inside and a zip at the top of the bag, so it offers more security instead of just having the metallic flap fastened by a clasp.

The strap is adjustable and there's also a handle at the top, so there's a variety of ways in which you can choose to carry it. When I was choosing a bag, I had no idea that it had a metallic flap (even though it says in the title - what can I say, I'm not very observant!) The photo on the website made it look like it was a nude leather material, but in reality the bag has a rose gold coloured metallic flap, so the photos don't do the bag justice as it wasn't captured in the photography on the website. The metallic flap also means it can scratch easily too, but the choice of different types of bags shows there are plenty to choose from and you can decide the best bag for you! 

There may be (if possible) every style bag to choose from and bags suitable for different occasions. Take a look at their website here: http://www.lydc.co.uk/

I've put together five of my favourite bags from their website below:

1. The Lindee Tote Bag By DSUK In Tan - £36.00

2. The Carpenders Park Shoulder Bag By LYDC In Black With Cream - £33.00

3. The Milo Shoulder Bag By Anna Smith In Black And Cream - £30.00

4. The Edmondton Shoulder Bag By Anna Smith In Beige - £30.00

5. The Harlesden Mini Satchel Bag By LYDC In Black - £28.00

OOTD: WalG Daisy Dress Review*

I recently received an absolutely stunning daisy chain collar dress from the brand WalG and I'm in love with it. It was so nice of them to send me a sample of clothing; it felt like Christmas morning when I opened it! The reason why I chose this dress is because I really liked the design; the floral print will look great this season and the collar makes it look very pretty and elegant. I don't usually buy collar dresses, but as soon as I saw this I knew that I'd love wearing it.

Not only will this dress look lovely in summer with a pair of flip flops or even converse, but I can also wear it in the autumn months with a pair of tights and boots (or brogues), which makes it versatile and worth the money if you get more wear out of it throughout the year. You could also team it with a leather jacket!

Not only that, it's also a really nice fit and very comfortable. I was worried when ordering as the sizes only come in small to large (no number sizes) so I was a bit concerned that it might not be a good fit - but I was wrong as it's quite a loose dress anyway; it's just right!

The chiffon material makes the dress feel very light when you have it on; even though it's chiffon, don't worry as it's not see-through! It has an under layer, which is always good. There's also a zip at the back, so there's no struggling to get into it. There's a button at the nape of the neck too, so it's secure and so that the collar sits snugly around your neck (but not tight like a choker! But be careful not to get your foundation on it hehe!) 

At £30.00, I definitely recommend this dress. It's available in a variety of different floral patterns and colours too. Overall, this brand was really easy to work with and supplied the dress very quickly. Check them out at http://walg.co.uk/ - for dresses and playsuits, to jumpers and knits, you're bound to find something you like!

Mini Lookbook: Summer Trends

So this week's "Summer Blogger Challenge" topic is 'Summer Trends'. There's still time to get involved if you like! Just contact Amy (her email address is amsiegramham@gmail.com) as she's running the challenge and emails the topic to everyone each week. This week I decided to do a mini lookbook on a few outfits that I really like wearing this Summer. I'm loving floral print, crops tops and maxi dresses so I've put together three outfits to show you all! Bearing in mind that I've tried to avoid taking pictures in my garden, as it's such a mess! So I've had to do a lot of cropping and positioning. Plus, my head's cut out on a lot of them (yeah, sorry about that - I know it looks a bit creepy haha!)

Dress: Boohoo

Shoes: Primark

I love this dress (even though it's hard to walk in as it's so tight at the bottom - I waddle like a penguin!) But I love the way it falls all the way to the floor; I'd probably wear this if I was going for a meal in the evening (especially with these shoes!) But if I was to wear it during the day, I'd team it with a denim jacket and a nice pair of sandals.

Top: H&M

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: Oasis

I'm really loving this skirt at the minute! I love wearing crop tops with it, as it's high-waisted so doesn't show too much of your midriff. I'm loving floral print and I decided to wear this outfit with these flower flip flops as they're really girly and I love the detail (you may have seen them in one of my wish lists - I ended up getting them!) Again, this skirt is tight (like most denim skirts) but you're not completely restricted as you can undo the zip a little at the bottom, so you don't have to stick to baby steps if you're on a walk!

Playsuit: Next

Shoes: New Look

I've had this playsuit a while, but I still wear it as playsuits are still on trend at the minute. Again, I love floral print and I love the fact it's really loose and comfy - the top part is elasticated (so it stays up!) I teamed it with these black plimsoll shoes as they're great to just slip on - plus they're comfy if you're planning on going for a walk!

I hope you enjoyed my first ever lookbook!

I really enjoyed doing this post (just a shame about the horrendous background haha!)

I'd love to see your "Summer Blogger Challenge" this week; leave a link below!
