    Dressed for Rain in the Knee High Merryn Moors Boots

    You know you love your new footwear when planning your outfit becomes a case of, ‘what can I wear today with my boots?’ rather than ‘what footwear will go with today’s outfit?’.

    I’d been on the hunt for a pair of practical knee high leather boots for a while and so I was delighted to be able to get my hands on these. They are practical and stylish (a combination that I love) and the cushioning on the sole makes them super comfy too.

    It was cold and raining on Saturday in Manchester (surprise surprise) and so I teamed my new boots with a polo neck, poncho and faux fur jacket on top and to avoid looking completely drowned by layers I went for tights and a simple skirt on the bottom.

    What I wore:
    Knee high boot – Clarks
    Faux Fur Coat – H&M
    Knitted poncho – H&M
    Polo-neck top – H&M
    ‘S’ Initial earrings – Primark
    Skirt – H&M
    Real leather tote bag – Bershka (similar here)

    It’s at this point I risk looking like a walking advertisement for H&M. I can assure you this was not my plan when dressing. Like I said, I just wanted to wear my new boots, so in all honesty I could have thrown on any old combination, it was only later that I realised I gone all ‘brand matchy’.

    Saturday was spent with the boyfriend. We finally went to the cinema to watch The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. Then afterwards we went for a few cocktails round the Northern Quarter before going for curry at my favourite Indian restaurant.

  • 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.

    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.

    Faux Fur Coat

    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.

  • Girl In The Red Coat

    Girl In The Red Coat

    It’s only eight days until Christmas Day and I can certainly say that I am finally feeling ‘Christmassy’. My presents are wrapped (bar a couple that I’m still waiting to arrive) and I’ve even been getting crafty by creating a few hand made cards. With more festive outings and gatherings ahead, I’m looking forward to getting even more into the spirit of things over the weekend.

    At the moment I’ve been living in this coat I bought from Asos. Not only is it a bold yet festive red, which I love, but it also keeps me super warm and the faux fur detachable collar is great at keeping me snug, especially on cold winter mornings. Unfortunately I didn’t do a very good job at neatening myself up for these shot and so the coat looks a bit creased and twisted but at least I was warm.
