Hi everyone,

I love a good fake leather jacket but for some reason I didn't own a plain black one. I found this cropped one in H&M and it was on sale for 20€ which I thought was a pretty good deal. It feels really soft and fits nicely too. I paired it with a plain white t-shirt and some thick black leggings that have leather panels on the leg which went nicely with the jacket without being too much of a leather overload. I love these leggings but as a warning you definitely need to try them on. I had to size down as they came up quite big and loose. 

I chose to mix metals a bit and wore gold jewellery despite the fact that both the jacket and leggings have silver detailing. My sister had got me a twelve days of Christmas advent calendar from Primark as part of my stocking filler and it had a different piece of jewellery for every day. I especially love the feather bracelet. 

To finish off the outfit, I added my black beanie and my wedge trainers. I also have these in beige which you can see here. I have to admit, I felt like a cool biker chick in this outfit, unfortunately a few days after I got the jacket it started snowing so I haven't been able to wear it much!

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Beanie - H&M

One thing I love about autumn and winter is the fact that it is perfectly acceptable to own a billion pairs of boots. Slight exaggeration but I do love my boots. I bought this pair back in 2012 and I remember them being reduced from £60 to £30! Absolute bargain, considering they are basically perfect! I had been on the hunt for longer (but not too long) boots and these are the perfect size. I love the colour as they go with basically everything. After two years and a lot of wear, they are still going strong! 

I paired them with simple black leggings and my favourite H&M oversized jumper (another sale find!). It's really soft and cosy and it has a v-neck which is my favourite type of neckline. I added my H&M scarf, a winter staple, and a wine red beanie. I also chose to wear my H&M necklace because it matched the beanie. I do realise that there are many H&M pieces in this outfit and I can assure you that I am not sponsored by them! I just love to shop there (and there aren't that many other reasonably price options here in Luxembourg).

Hope you are having a great week!

Festive Party Outfit | Day to Night

Hi everyone,

I wanted to do some festive outfits of the day and I came up with an outfit that I thought could look great for both day time and night time when paired with different accessories. It features a nice dark red dress with a floral pattern that my mum got from Primark last year as part of my Christmas present. It's made out of quite a thick material which makes it great for cold weather. I love the colour of it as it is quite festive and winter appropriate. I think this may be my first outfit blogpost ever to not feature something from H&M!

Day:

Dress - Primark

Jumper - Primark

Tights - Primark

Boots - Siemes Schuhcenter

Hat - New Look

For the day time outfit, I paired the dress with a black jumper with a sparkly rhinestone detailing which is also from Primark. It's really cosy and I thought the rhinestones made the outfit slightly more special. I chose not to add any more accessories as I didn't want to overpower all of the details on the jumper and the dress. I left my hair down and added my New Look bobble hat because it matched the dress. I chose to wear my simple black boots because they have a flat heel which means they are ideal for being comfortable throughout the day.

Night:

Dress - Primark

Cardigan - C&A

Tights - Primark

Wedge Heels - Chaussea

For the night time party outfit, I swapped my jumper for a similar black cardigan from C&A, again with rhinestones. I didn't want cover up the neckline of the dress too much which is why I chose the cardigan. I put on my black wedges from Chaussea to give me some height and to jazz up the outfit. Heels are great for turning a day time outfit into a night time outfit. I felt that for a party I would prefer to have my hair up as opposed to down so I clipped it back into a bun. Once again I avoided jewellery because I felt the cardigan took care of the sparkle, but feel free to add more sparkly things since it is the season for that! 

Big thank you to my brother Joe for being my photographer, since my usual one (my boyfriend) was at work (which explains the many outtake photos). It takes a lot of patience putting up with me, especially when Far Cry 4 is calling (amazing game by the way!).

I hope you enjoy this slightly different outfit post!

Hi everyone, 

Like most people, I love cosy and comfortable clothes. Anything that makes me feel like I'm still tucked up in bed with my duvet and a multitude of blankets wrapped around me basically. So in order to jazz up a standard outfit that consists of leggings and a cosy jumper or cardigan, I like to make an effort with my shoes. Since it was one of those cold but dry days, I decided to wear my lovely wedge trainers from New Look. I love these shoes so much but I'm always scared of getting them dirty so it was the perfect day to wear them. Trust me when I say they are so comfortable. My favourite type of shoes are slippers, so the fact that I find these comfortable is saying something. 

When I first saw wedge trainers my initial reaction was something along the lines of 'what the hell, why would anyone want to wear them' and most of the ones I have seen here in Luxembourg look extremely tacky. But when I spotted these on the New Look website back in July, I just had to have them. Some people may find the gold parts tacky, but I actually love all of the gold details. And like I said, they are so comfy. They make you taller and are comfortable! Who knew that could exist? 

As for the rest of the outfit, I kept it pretty simple. I love the chunky waterfall cardigan from Primark, it kept me warm all day, in fact I ended up ditching the coat after a while. Since the shoes have a lot going on, I kept my jewellery quite simple and just added a gold bracelet.

I got this coat from Primark last year and it's almost perfect. Almost because the belt hoops are far too low and it looks quite unflattering having the belt around my hips, so I put it on at the waist instead. 

Have a great Saturday!

The Waterfall Jacket

Jacket - New Look

Jumper - H&M

Leggings - Next

Watch - DKNY

Bracelet - Stradivarius 

Bag - C&A

Boots - Siemes Schuhcenter

I was perusing the New Look website one day when I spotted this jacket. I had been looking for a nice waterfall jacket for ages and had a little victory dance when I saw it. It's made out of fake leather and the inside has a suede texture to it. It's quite thin, so it will be good for the cold but sunny autumn days. I absolutely love it and can't wait to put it to good use. It has already started to get colder here in Luxembourg, which makes me extremely happy. 

I actually own this jumper three times, in three different colours! It's so comfortable and great to wear with leggings, as it's quite long. 

Hope you have all had a great week!
