Well hello blogging world! I'm back after what seems like the whole winter in hiding!! Sorry about me.  I started ,my new job in FASHIONNNNNN 2 weeks ago so have been very busyy bee.

As you can see I am still deeply in love with statement necklaces and this particular beauty was a present from the boyf on Valentines day (cringe) and I think its from Zara. I've become seriously savvy when it comes to jewellery shopping recently. There are so many great websites out there that do copies of the more expensive high street stuff at a really good price. My current faves are Secret Statement and Pree Brûlée (Pree brûlée is a teeny tiny bit more expensive but its well worth it!!) What are your go-to websites?

** All Monochrome Everything **

COAT - RIVER ISLAND // SKIRT - REPUBLIC (TWO PIECE) // BOOTS - VAGABOND LOOKALIKEYS FROM NEW LOOK // TOP - TOPSHOP // NECKLACE - PRIMARK // NAME NECLKACE - mynamenecklace.com

My friend Jess was down to visit me a few weekends ago so we grabbed the chance to make the most of pretty Oxford sights and got the old camera out for some blog photos while doing a bit of shopping. Needless to say we got a few strange stares, mainly from the tourists- there are so many now you can hardly move! WAH. 

Another practically all black and white outfit from myself... shock! My undeniable love for monochrome will never end. Excuse the rip in my tights... I love low denier tights but they are very hard to keep in one piece! Not so practical. My fave bit of this outfit has to be the necklace (Primark!!!!) and the boots. They were part of my shopping spree bday present from my boyfriend and they are the spitting image of the Vagabond ones but more purse friendly! ha ha ha. The student in me still loves a bargain.

** A/W WISH LIST **

I'm feeling pretty shocked and nervous that Summer is practically over already! Where on earth has it gone?! Its not like we can complain about the weather as its been really hot (dare I say it) but it has definitely not been long enough! 

This A/W is all about complete opposites. From girly pastels to male inspired oversized coats to grunge to total glamour. I love that there is so much to choose from!

I thought I should get my wardrobe organised for the upcoming months and so here are following items I'm lusting after:

1. Satin & Velvet Bralet - TOPSHOP 

Being a lingerie addict I cannot get enough! This gorgeous bralet would be perfect for a night out with something high waisted! I'm so happy Pastels are back in this A/W. 

2. High waisted belted trousers- RIVER ISLAND 

As I've said before I love love love anything high waisted, its just so flattering. These trousers are perfect because they are smart enough for work wear & also would look amazing on a night out with a pair of strappy heels. 

3.  Faux Fur Wrap -ASOS

Another pastel item I'm loving is this faux fur wrap from ASOS. I want one in every colour. 

4. Maroon faux fur cota - LABEL LOUNGE (similar & cheaper on ebay!)

Faux fur coats are an absolute must for A/W. I am determined this year to get one early on, maroon is a great wintery colour & so I fell instantly in love with this coat.

5&6. Embellish Necklaces -ZARA 

Being a big fan of a bit of bling & embellishments I saw these two beauties in Zara a few weeks ago and the rest was history. They are perfect, I can't decide between them, perfect for the mega glam look of A/W 13.

7. Dr Martens Boot's - OFFICE

I've always wanted a pair of DM's but even more so now that Punk is a major A/W trend. 

8&9. Monocrome two piece- RIVER ISLAND

As a lover of black clothing I am still not over the monochrome look from last season & this two piece is beaut as it can be worn together or separately. Gimme gimme gimme. 

What are you must haves for AW13?
