Bloomin' Awesome Boohoo Buys

Hello beautiful readers,
I have to apologise for not showing my fave recently (although some of you may be quite pleased by that ;)) but my anxiety has been a bit pants recently so haven't really felt like smiling for a camera, away that's another post for another day.

Boohoo have seriously been on top recently with their fashion game so of course I couldn't help myself when I saw these babies. Coming up to Christmas of course money is a bit tight so I went straight for the clearance which I don't usual do but I was pleasantly surprised when I found these cheeky buys. 

Not only are these perfect winter warmers but they are all no more than £15 *Bargain Alert*. The faux fur gillet is such a fashion statement and teamed with these leather leggings which are so comfortable and much easier to get on than leather trouser (none of us want a leather trouser incident like Ross from friends ;)). Also they aren't super super leather looking so they don't show up all your lumps and bumps.

To pull this look together I bought an oversized checked shirt which you can never go wrong with and some cuff rings. I also made sure that the gilet I bought was slightly cropped so I didn't get too drowned in material so keep that in mind if you want to show of them killer curves or inhance them. Finally I've never really been a big fan of rings as I have chubby fingers but these rings are really flattering if it's possible to make your hands look flattering hehe.

Go and check boohoo out whether it be to treat yourself before Christmas or for bargain Christmas buys take a look, I think you'll be surprised.

One coat || Three outfits || Look Two

So I thought I'd bring a bit of Spring/Summer back with this second outfit but with a Autumn/Winter twist. Colour blocking is a little easier with pastels as they are a lot more subtle and easy to match in a cute and edgy way.
I really love how the pretty lace finishing adds a clear block to the outfit especially with the acid wash jeans. I like to dress this lilac Miss Guided top with darker jeans as it adds more of a contrast but it also looks stunning with white jeans which would be great for an evening out.

These jeans are quiet thin but super super comfortable and so stretchy. I find they work with anything and it's not to not always wear black jeans.

Finally I topped this outfit off with my fave gold jewellery and of course this beautiful New Look Jacket.
Make sure you keep an eye out for my last look.

One coat || Three outfits || Look one

Monochrome madness is one of my favourite things right now but I wanted to put a twist on it with this pastel pink jacket. Once I saw that baby from New Look I knew I had to have, not only is it amazing for autumn/winter but its so so soft and fluffy. I feel like a big candyfloss and it's brilliant! ;D

I also added my fave statement necklace and shirt from Topshop, I love a good pattern and colour clash and this outfit has that written all over it...In a good way I hope :p I'm quiet conscious of my stomach but have a smaller waist so I like wear boxy crop tops as it shows of my waist but also my stomach so it's a bit of a catch 24 but to cover up a bit more I like to wear these high waisted skinnies from Asos which are really stretchy so I can still get blood to my legs ;)

Fabulous in Fur



Fur is that staple item we all need in our wardrobe for autumn/winter. Whether it be dressing a cropped long fur coat with a dress or an oversized coat with a pair of jeans, fur coats will work with almost anything. I have absolutely fallen in love with this leopard fur coat...now I look slightly like pat butcher but who knows this coat might not even be on the rails without a cheeky touch from that big earring wearing delight ;) anyway moving swiftly on, I was extremely surprised  when I walked into tescos and saw this beauty looking back at me. I didnt think id be writing my first blog about tesco but F&F have no doubtibly stepped their game up and clearly have inevative and new ideas coming our way. This coat fits like a glove and has a beautiful black slik lining to compliment the fur. Faux fur is always really expensive but it's such a good investment when you'll have it in your cupboard from years to come. It may not be real but I feel pretty damn fabulous! 

Top tip: Dont go too OTT with accessories. One item of fur is enough to make a statement. Too matchy-matchy with a hat and scarf takes the look from chic to cheap.

"You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur." Karl Lagerfeld.

Coat || Tesco F&F || £40
Boots || Asos || £20
Leggings || Boohoo || £12
Top || Asos || £15
