**Pink and pleather**







- TOP - BOOHOO.COM // DUSTER COAT - MISSGUIDED.CO.UK // SKIRT - RIVER ISLAND // SHOES - TOPSHOP // BAG - ASOS - 

In all honestly I can't say that this is the most weather appropriate outfit... ok I'll admit it - this photo was taken a few weeks ago when I had longer hair (I've chopped it all off!) and the weather was slightly better!) 

I have to say that this Missguided.co.uk duster coat has become a bit of a staple in my wardrobe. Its so versatile as you can just throw it on with most things and you're good to go. Plus it was an absolute bargain at only £14.99 - the best of both worlds!

The pleather skirt is one of about six - I seem to have one in every colour. I just love the fit and the fact that its high waisted (wishing I could use the two palm hand emoji to put next to the words 'high' and 'waisted.') I'll admit I was a bit apprehensive about the pleather scenario to begin with as there is always the worry it won't be flattering - but I was plesantly surprised! Next stop suede skirt!!

** 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.

** All White Everything **










WHITE DRESS (VAVERY BRODERIE ANGLAIS SKATER DRESS)- MISSGUIDED.CO.UK / FLATFORMS - TOPSHOP / SUNGLASSES - EBAY / RUCKSACK - PRIMARK

This is what I wore to my friend's BBQ & drinkies in London at the weekend. Turns out I was a bit too  optimistic for sunshine & so my outfit wasn't the most weather appropriate thing I've ever worn, however, nothing was going to stop me wearing this amazing summer dress from Missguided.co.uk

I initially saw the dress advertised on the Missguided Facebook page where Rosie Fortescue (from Made in Chelsea) was wearing it. Its so stunning & having spent all summer in search of a white dress, I knew I'd finally found THE ONE.  It's stunning & I love the detail of the broderie anglais lace! 

The story behind these beaut Topshop flatforms is very naughty of me. I went to drinks with a friend who was wearing them and thought how amazing they looked so obviously had to have them. (Absolutely no patience whatsoever!) Unfortunately they were sold out in Oxford so I asked my bestie Jess who was in London to get me some from the Oxford Street store & voila! That's dedication to shoes right there! The rucksack is just a standard Primark jobby. 

Something exciting that I am doing is taking part in an Oxford Fashion Week event called LiveFriday. I'm so excited to be part of it. I'm styling three outfits for it! Will keep you all updated! 

What have you got planned this week? What do you think of my all white look?
