Why You Need a Camel Coat

 
 
 
 
 
As the cold draws nearer and nearer, it was about time to look around for a new coat to replace the one I had been wearing for the last three years. Everyone seems to be loving camel coats at the moment, and I'm no exception. The colour seems to work well with all skin tones and hair colours, and there are so many different styles to choose from on the high street, meaning you don't have to spend your life savings on a coat.

 
 
 
 

New Look are doing autumn fashion so well this year, and finding this coat for just under £30 was incredible. The material is not extremely thick, but the quality of it is brilliant, and looks like it will last a long time. The oversized boyfriend cut makes it look smart and can instantly make a casual outfit appear more formal. In the couple of times I've worn the coat out, I've received several compliments, usually commenting on how smart it is.


 

A camel coat is definitely an essential in any wardrobe, and whether you want to go designer or high street, you can never go wrong.

All-In-Black






T-Shirt - BHS
Skirt - New Look
Denim Jacket - DKNY
Boots - New Look

 

I'll be frank. Dressing in black makes me feel like a ninja. An ultra-fashionable ninja. When I tried on this A-line zip-front skirt in New Look, I knew that it was love at first sight. The really flattering cut makes it sit perfectly on my waist. The length isn't too short or too long and the zip gives it a slightly edgy feel. And all for £12.99. A basic black skirt is an A/W staple and this one is paired perfectly with everything from flannel shirts, to crop tops, to T-shirts. Another bonus is the pockets which are actually pockets, not the barely there ones which you can't fit anything in.

Today I decided to pair it with a plain black T-shirt and my denim jacket which I absolutely adore! I think this is a great look for going out, or just heading into town.

Please let me know if you find any amazing pieces on the high street because I'm desperate to overhaul my autumn wardrobe!

Dressing Up Denim

Whilst scrolling through Pinterest, I've found myself continually drawn towards tucked in shirts and rolled sleeves. My obsession with denim continues to grow, but in summer, real denim is just too heavy and hot, so I turned to my trusty denim shirt, on what evolved into a super warm and sunny day.
 

Although I usually prefer trousers and shorts, for some reason unbeknownst to me, I have been picking skirts and dresses recently. I featured this pencil skirt in my haul video over on my YouTube channel and I've come to love it over the past few weeks. It compliments so many styles and dresses up everything, including denim!

 

Many people don't know this, but I'm pretty good at making jewellery, after a phase I went through last year in which I began making and selling jewellery with methods I taught to myself. I was poking through some of my leftover beads and I realised that I had never used this cute bird charm and I had a bead on a jump ring left from a bracelet I had cut up, so I popped them on to a piece of string and voilĂ , a sweet little necklace to throw on to compliment this outfit.


Roll up the sleeves of your shirt and the look becomes more casual and breathable in hot summer weather. I loved how the rolled sleeves gave a relaxed vibe, and it made the shirt feel more comfortable and less constricting than full-length sleeves.


 
Outfit:
Top - Charity shop (originally F&F at Tesco)
Skirt - Rock&Rags at USC
Necklace - made by me

I hope you enjoyed this quick little post, and have perhaps found some inspiration for how to dress up denim. My look book will be coming to my YouTube channel at the end of the summer, so look out for that if you would like to see more fashion bits from me.

When the sun comes out



With the arrival of the sun, so comes my first style post. It's not yet warm enough to go without tights when wearing shorts, hence the covered legs, but on a particularly sunny day, I grabbed my brother and a camera and we went to an empty field to take some rather awkward photos of a nice outfit. I am proud to say that much of my wardrobe comes from charity shops, so whenever I do a style post, there will usually be some element from one.

I picked up this top a few weeks back in the New Look sales and have fallen head-over-heels in love with it. The striped pattern makes me feel like a Parisienne fashionista and I love how it feels when I'm wearing it. I bought a size 14, several sizes too big for me, because it was the only one left on the rack, but I'm glad I did, because I like the slight oversized look of the top.

What I wore:
Top - New Look
Dungarees - charity shop (originally Tammy)
Boots - New Look (sold out, but similar here)
Lipstick - New Look (review here)
