  • Black Faux Fur and Snake Print Trousers

    Black Faux Fur and Snake Print Trousers

    As talked about in my previous blog post, last weekend I was in London. Afterwards I was home for two days and then today I’m off to London again, this time however I’m back to work mode.

    Last Saturday I spent the day with my friends shopping on Oxford Street. Although I didn’t actually do much shopping myself, I had such a fun day spending time with my ex Barcelona flat mates and also having long over due catch ups.

    Before we lost the last bit of light (it begins to go dark in England at around 3:30pm during winter), we weaved down a few side streets and I managed to get a few outfit snaps of what I was wearing that day.

    Last Thursday I had a long overdue Mother, Daughter day and so The Mother and I decided to spend it doing what we do best, shopping. Before hitting the shops however, we went to The Manchester Art Gallery to check out the latest exhibition there, The Sensory War 1914-2014. It’s certainly one that I would recommend to any art lovers in town.

    Before we left The Manchester Art Gallery we spotted some women’s dresses on display on the ground floor which were designed and made in the 1950s. Being a big lover of the fashion styles of that decade I had to take a few snaps and we were particularly amazed to see how tiny the models waists were.

    After we’d spent the morning wondering round the gallery, we headed for a spot of coffee and cake to give us a much needed energy boost before our long awaited shopping spree. So it was off to Patisserie Valerie we went and I opted for a mixed fruit tart and coffee mocha, whilst The Mother went for a slice of lemon cheesecake washed down with a cappuccino.

    I managed to buy lots of new winter pieces whilst shopping, as well as picking up a few Christmas presents. We literally shopped until we dropped and ended the day with a meal and cocktails in one of my favourite Italian restaurants, Avalanche.

  • Faux Fur Coat Weather

    Faux Fur Coat Weather

    Today I purchased my first pair of boots for the winter and it was also the first time I was able to wear my new faux fur coat. Yes, it looks like Autumn is finally here.

    My boyfriend and I had the full day together and after a long relaxing lunch we headed to the shops and joined the rush of people all hunting for winter clothes. For a Monday I was surprised how busy the shops were but I guess everyone had the same idea and winter wardrobe shopping was on most people’s agenda.

    Vero Moda Grey Faux Fur Coat

    I bought this grey Vero Moda faux fur coat a few weeks ago off Asos. Always one for a bargain I managed to nab this one in the sale before my size sold out. I like to be prepared, so I was glad I had this snug coat to hand today when the cold weather set in. I’m still on the look out for another winter coat though, as although I love faux fur, it’s not always the most practical.

    Urban Outfitters Black patent Mock Croc Bag

    Speaking of bargains, I got this mock croc patent bag last week in the sale from Urban Outfitters. I love it and it’s the perfect size for on the go when I just need to carry the essentials.

    Tesco Patent Burgundy Loafers

    These patent loafers are also a new purchase from F&F. That’s the second supermarket brand item I’ve bought in a month, this time from Tesco. They are really comfy, I love the colour and at only £15 they were a complete bargain too.

    Lunch was delicious. We went to Rosylee Tea Rooms and enjoyed a tasty three course lunch. I opted for the baked crab to start, the wild rabbit for main (with a side of chips of course) and the dark chocolate tart for dessert. Each course was gorgeous but I have to say that the dessert was an especially scrumptious treat, each mouthful was heaven! It certainly kept us going for the rest of the day, although I could have easily gone for a nap after it.

  • Something Old, Something Blue

    Something Old, Something Blue

    Again we’ve been experiencing this unexpected sunny weather here in England and so my wardrobe is back to front. Just as I was about to start shopping for faux furs and winter boots, the sun has decided to stay a little longer and so I’m pulling out crop tops and light fabrics to keep up with the weather.

    I feel really unprepared for this sunny September and as I feel I’ve exhausted my summer wardrobe already, I’ve been forced to rummage a little deeper through my wardrobe and by doing so have found garments I forgot I even owned.

    Street Style

    I absolutely love these culottes but although I’ve had them a while, I’ve very rarely worn them due to the colour, as I often finding that they clash with most of my other clothes. Yesterday however, it was finally time to pull them out of the closet.

    I decided to team the culottes with a white crop top that I bought earlier this year, from Forever 21. I thought that the culottes and the crop top looked so cute together but this is where I had the dilemma of finding a jacket that went with the whole look. As I knew it would get a little chilly in the evening I was adamant I needed a jacket. Then voila, I found this little leopard print number that I’ve had since forever. With my brown bag and flats, I thought the jacket teamed the whole look together rather well. Not bad for an outfit that was literally thrown on.

    It was date night, so my boyfriend and I headed out for pizza and wine (my favourite), before going to the cinema to watch The Guest. If you were wondering, I thought that the film was unusual but I rather liked it. I don’t think that it will be everyone’s cup of tea but then I always seem to like strange films. I was most fascinated watching Dan Stevens playing a convincing psychotic American guy, long gone is Mr Crawly!

    What I Wore:
    Culottes: Rare London (Last year?)
    Crop Top: Forever 21
    Cropped jacket: Ebay (old)
    Ballet Flats: Topshop
    Bag: Zara
