#OOTD, 10th February, New Semester New Season

It may not feel like Spring  outside yet, but Spring has definitely sprung on the high-street! There are a few little hints of the new season in my ensemble today, but it's still too cold to go coat-less!
Today was my first day back at uni after the longest Christmas holiday and I was feeling rather fresh, so I went for lighter colours.

Shirt, ASOS. Jumper, ASOS (similar here). Bag, DKNY Active (sold out). Jeans, Topshop. Adidas trainers, ASOS. 

As always I'm wearing my trusty Joni jeans again but one of my New Years [Style] Resolutions is to experiment more with clothes so watch this space! How cute is this bag? I saw it in the ASOS sale and I had to have it - hello double denim! Winter is all about layering for me and I love the fit of this boyfriend shirt because it's long enough to layer under a knit, and it's also striped which I can't get enough of lately. 

I also think I need to start doing things with my hair: the bed head look is getting old! If anyone has any easy tutorials or styles then leave me a comment because I need some inspiration!

I have to thank my bestie Shannon for taking these photos for me in the Sheffield Peace Gardens, although I'm not sure I like posing for photos in a busy public place! 

#OOTD: 5th January 2015, The Shearling Coat of Dreams

This is my first post of 2015, so happy new year to you all! I hope you all had an amazing 2014 and are ready to kill it this year!
I don't know about anyone else but I had such a busy December that I'm hoping my January is quiet and hassle-free. My January is all about chilling out, so get ready for some casual looks on the blog this month. 
Today's outfit is just really cosy, I'm trying to keep the frost out! I've wanted a shearling coat for months and months but I've never really found one I loved - except the Topshop beauty that was around £500! But just before Christmas I was trawling through the ASOS sale and low and behold this gorgeous coat came up... At half price! So obviously I ordered it immediately, at £45 I couldn't say no.

Coat, ASOS. Hat, ASOS. Jumper, Topshop. Bag, Topshop. Jeans, Topshop. Boots, River Island

The coat is just so snuggly and warm, it's definitely my new favourite! I wanted it to look oversized so I ordered a 14, this was also mainly so it would be long enough in the arms so if you are tall I'd recommend ordering a size up. The pug hat is also a recent sale buy from and it's just so cute! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you'll already know I'm obsessed with pugs. 

The jumper unfortunately is not in the sale! It comes in so many colours that I was looking forward to stocking up, but never mind. This is the 'Mustard' colour and I don't really ever wear this colour so I thought I'd experiment and I'm glad I did, I love it! Also, the shape is really flattering, it oversized enough to hide the Christmas bloat but it's not too baggy. I'll definitely be buying more colours.  

I bought these boots way back in October and they are the perfect winter boots. The cleated sole means they actually have a little grip on the ice and they are fleece lined for extra snuggliness. The black pair are sold out but I've put up a link for the grey ones which are equally lovely!
