OOTD: Peach

12:58




Apologies if this post looks a little weird or not quite right. My laptop decided to die on me this week and I'm having to use my iPad to write and upload this post. The screen is jumping every time I type which is fabulous and I somehow cannot change the size of the photos, so I'm sorry!

Anyway, hello friends. Long time. Here we have a classic Frankee outfit shall we say. Striped and all black. But with some cute peach trainers. Trying to find trainers that aren't leather is a nightmare I swear. But I found some!

I'm trying to make more of an effort to take outfit photos this year, I always get annoyed when I don't document an outfit I quite liked. I'm also loving the beret hype at the minute! I got mine from Boohoo. Again.....vegan problems....it was so hard to find one that didn't contain wool, but boohoo does wool free ones and it was only £10!

Here I am, just verging out of the depths of 3rd year. Dissertation has been handed in, HURRAAAAAHHH. I'm not entirely sure how I did it, but I did. I never thought I'd be able to write 15,000 words of my own research but I did, yay me. One more essay and two exams to go and then I'll be free. Until September when I'll (hopefully) be starting a MSc in Journalism in Leeds. These photos were taken the other day before a gig in Leeds and having a nosy around getting my bearings. I'm excited to move to a new city, I'm tired of Nottingham I must say. These trousers are probably my best purchase of last year, I'm so in love with them. I wear them way too much but its fine, who cares. I also cannot wait until it finally gets warmer so I don't have to wear a coat with EVERY SINGLE OUTFIT.

OOTD: FARFETCH Activewear

07:34

FarFetch asked me to put together my perfect "Activewear" look. As somebody who doesn't participate in anything remotely sporty I decided to put together an outfit I'd wear for a day exploring a city. This is what activewear is to me. Something comfortable, warm but also stylish. An outfit I would have to be comfortable in all day with layers I can switch around depending on the weather. 







I've put together a few essential activewear pieces from Farfetch to inspire your city exploring activewear look:

What To Wear: Scrooge

09:00


I personally don't get into the Christmas spirit until about December 20th. So if you're like me you struggle to find a "festive" outfit for all of the Christmas meals, parties and all those other times you get told to dress "Christmassy". Here are a few items I've found that are festive but not screaming "MICHAEL BUBLE CHRISTMAS ALBUM". (This is pretty much a list of black things with a bit of glitter on them)

Urban Outfitters



Pins & Needles Metallic Pleated Skirt
This beaut is in the sale for £25! Metallic but not too sparkly.


Topshop


Scallop Mix Lace Dress
I almost bought this for my work party but decided to be "sensible" and wear something I already owned. Don't regret it at all...nope...


Star Print Ruffle Blouse
I'm obsessed with this shade of green right now, its so pretty and kinda the same colour as a Christmas tree, therefore FESTIVE.


Glitter Strappy Culotte Jumpsuit
I think I own about 30 culotte jumpsuits, and there is always room for more

Monki


Smock dresses are my favourite, and this one has a little sparkle.

Creating My Dream Closet

I began my search with the obvious choice, a hunt on Pinterest for inspiration. I would most definitely have to have a walk in wardrobe. I think I've wanted a walk in wardrobe ever since I first saw The Princess Diaries (SHUT UP) 

I love the look of rails. I'd have one set up similar to the photo below with just a few of my favourite clothing items or I'd swap it over to match with what season it is!

Image from: Pinterest
I like the idea of it being a room I could also get ready in. I'd probably put a small dressing table in there and my record player. In my dreams I'd have to convert half the room into an art studio and half a wardrobe. I'd love a little room just for all my art stuff where I could sit and draw all day.

Everything would have to look minimal, so lots of drawers to hide things (mess) in would be perfect. My favourite colours are black and grey so the room would fit with the theme of black and grey minimalism. I wouldn't put anything girly in the room kinda like the images I've included has done. Instead there would probably be a band flag rather than a Chanel frame haaaaa. But similar to the photos, there would be hundreds of succulents.
 And if this is a dream closet I'd have a pet bed in there, for my dream doge. 

Inspiration

This has inspired me to make the most of my wardrobe space I currently have. If  like me you're a bit of a clothing hoarder, the MakeSpace flowchart might help you become a bit more ruthless with what you should keep or give away! If you haven't heard of them before, MakeSpace is a storage company! Their blog has a lot of different articles on ways to keep organised.

autumn

OOTD: Pink

10:25



Trousers - Zara
Jacket - H&M
Top - Band Merch
Shoes - Vans
Bag - Primark

Yes, I'm wearing pink. This blush pink colour seems to be everywhere at the minute. I usually avoid buying something that every man and his dog has (cause I'm such a massive hipster obvs, lol) because it just makes me feel uncreative and like I look like everyone else. If that makes any sense at all. Anyway, these trousers are just beauts. I went back and got them in navy and white polka dot too. I love anything with a tie waist, it's hard to find something that perfectly fits my waist (small person problems DO EXIST) and these fit like a dream thanks to the tie. Zara is just perfection this autumn.

I'm usually just a trainer girl myself but recently I've been finding myself pinning so many boots on my Pinterest. I'm especially loving the grey and black snake skin pair oooooo myyyyyyy.

The 6 Definitive Coats - farfetch.com

08:34

Struggling to find the perfect winter coat? Well if you're anything like me then yes. I'm in desperate need of a coat but I just can't find the right one! Luckily FarFetch have come out with their latest infographic based around the 6 definitive coats of the season. And, it is a lifesaver! I wish I could pull of the ANKLE GRAZER, but being 5ft 4 I don't think it would be much of an ankle grazer! 
Take a look below for some inspiration!



 "Brush up on your manners this season, as AW15 heralds the return of the frightfully proper English heritage coat. Savile Row mainstays such as Prince of Wales check, nubby tweed and houndstooth look modern again, especially when worn with off-kilter accessories and your favourite granny handbag."


 "Wild thing fur has been high on the fashion agenda for a few season now, so don't dismiss it as just  a bit of fluff - it's here to stay. Marni's alpaca rainbow is the only thing you'll want to snuggle into when the chill sets in, and it ill warm the cockles of your heart as much as it does your frozen limbs."


 "Cut a formidable silhouette as the nights begin to draw in, with Maison Margiela's floor-sweeping showstopper. The long coat requires three things: height, grace and attitude. It's a perfect nod to the season's Victorian trend - just add stomping lace-up boots and a little Jack-the-Ripper menace."




 The quickest way to make your existing wardrobe stand to attention this AW15? Top it off with a commanding military cape. Sacai's smart double line of brass buttons is key to ensuring you stay on the frontline of style."


 "Nothing makes you look expensive like winter whites - and not just because of the dry-cleaning bills. Shades like oyster, cream and purest snow white lift winter complexions and add freshness to your look. The hot AW15 update? Block it with separates with luxurious tones of oxblood and cyclamen pink."
