Autumn Fashion - My Style, On Trend & High Street | New Look | H & M | Primark

Hello my lovely lot!!! 

IT'S FREAKIN AUTUMN MAAAYYNNN!!! 

This is legit my favourite time of the year, if you have followed my blog or my social media for a while then this will not be brand new information. Ha. 

This is totally when I am at my happiest, don't get me wrong I love the Summer for... Well, the sun and stuff - the sun also makes me happy but for me I cannot wait for Summer to be over. I know some of you will be screaming at your screen's and cursing me for saying that but I am afraid my fellow friends it's the truth. If you suffer from mega bad hay fever you'll get me. 

For me, there is nothing better than lighting candles, that smell like Autumn/Christmas, with some fairy lights on, all snuggled in my room watching movies and relaxing. Nothing beats layering your clothes, wearing a bobble hat and going for long walks in the woods - smelling the Autumn air and watching the amber, crisp leaves fall from the trees in the sunlight. 

Getting the image, come on you have to agree right?!

When it comes to fashion and what I wear, I never put too much thought into it. I tend to wear what I want and don't give a damn to what people think or whether it's too 'out there' for my small towns. I like it... I wear it, whether it's on trend or not. I don't follow fashions ever but what I do find a lot of the time - and not to blow my own trumpet, I find that I can be ahead of fashion and wear things just before they go on trend without even realising it.

For instance, the whole PVC look, I sported that a few years ago because it's 'my style' - I like to be a bit out there, push boundaries with my choice of clothing and mix it up. I started to wear my PVC trousers around a month or two back and then slowly but surely I started to hear that it is starting to be a hella trend this fall. I was already on trend before it was a trend. I love it when that happens. 

90% of the time I will wear dark clothes, mainly black - to match my soul ;) 

I just find monochrome items look so classy and strong. I have to be colour coordinated, I cannot stand when things don't match. I do love a bold print, a lot of rips, anything that is 'alternative' and lets be completely honest some may say fetish items. You know - the whole PVC thing. For me my clothes are a statement as is my hair and makeup. My image is an extension of my personality and creativity, to me is shows that I am a strong woman, independent, doesn't give a f**k about what people think or say, that I am an extrovert, I know myself and who I am, that I am bold, loud, quirky, one of a kind and hella creative. That's what I personally think, that's how it comes across, others may differ and be negative but their opinion doesn't matter. 

Below you are going to see some recent pictures I have taken that depicts my current style - my main style, how I shake things up and make it my own and it may even inspire you guys who are reading. 

If you are looking to change up your style or looking for inspiration to step out of your comfort zone then you have come to the right place. :) 

Everything I am wearing if from the high street and currently in the shops. A piece of advice from me to you is that own what you are wearing, own your style, don't let ANYBODY tell you that you can't wear something because it doesn't fit societies ideologies. You like it, WEAR IT. Be brave and be bold. 

Lets go... 

PVC 

I legit love a bit of PVC, for me it makes an outfit go from average to interesting and enigmatic. Trying to find a 'good' pair of PVC trousers/leggings can be hard to come by. I find that sometimes they can sit too low in the crotch area and doesn't move with your body contours. I recently invested in some more PVC trousers and on the off-chance found some perfect ones from H & M. I am in love with them. You can see them in the 3rd picture. If you are wanting to invest in this trend I do feel you get what you pay for a such. The ones from H & M are around £35. Team these with either an oversized tee and a leather jacket or with a chunky knitted jumper and you're sorted. 

Patent platform boots - £34.99 H & M 

Statement pieces

Okay, so if you don't think PVC is 'statement' enough, you cannot go wrong with a statement shirt, tee or jumper. The below is also from H & M and it's actually from the men's section. I ordered the same style in the jumper and t-shirt form. The tee was a bit too oversized for me and I found I loved the jumper more. It's this shiny, holographic material and I love things like this, that are different and that other people wouldn't generally wear. If you are anything like me and like to make a statement, this will be right up your street. This was around £29.99. 

Lace Up 

I am very 'alternative' in my style - I also like to be a rocker one day and then look like I am part of the ghetto the next, other times I just look homeless. Ha. I love lace up things and right now this has come back into fashion and I couldn't be happier. However you do need to be careful with lace up items as they aren't always very flattering. You don't want to look like a piece of pork with the string wrapped around you and if you have bigger thighs - like me, then you need to work out your placement if you're looking at purchasing lace up bottom half's. The lace up leggings are again from H & M - they are KILLING it at the moment. I was originally looking for jeans with a lace up front but I couldn't find any I liked - these were perfect. You can adjust the width of the lace up so I brought mine in, I didn't want too much flesh showing. I may also sew in some fabric behind the lace up as I feel it would look better. Either way this is another Autumn fashion staple right now. 

Leggings - £20 (mine are in XS) 

Geek glasses - £1 Primark 

Jumper - £6.99 H & M 

Knitted lace up jumper - £10 -£13 Primark

Thigh Highs & Sequins

I think for most Autumn/Winter fashion, over-the-knee and thigh high boots always make a come back. Generally, shoe wise for me I will wear either military boots or platforms. It's just how I roll. I love to team mainly leggings with thigh high boots as I feel it looks more classy but leather trousers also work. Recently I have been feeling sequin leggings with knitted jumpers and my new thigh highs and I think it looks so fashionable but is so effortless. I would stick to all black for this look or monochrome if you want to switch it up a bit. 

Thigh highs - £44.99 New Look 

Sequin Leggings - I got years ago.  

Denim Jacket

It's at the stage weather wise that it's getting colder but it's too warm to wear a hefty coat so for me a denim jack is on point. You can literally throw it on over anything and it looks so freakin cool. I have sewn patches onto mine to make it 'unique' to me and I love it. There are a lot in the sale at the moment as it would mainly come under 'Summer fashion' but for me I like to break the boundaries.  Team the jacket with a beanie and platforms and you're good to go. 

Jacket - £30 - £35 New Look 

Patches - Various from H & M and Ebay

Platforms £25 Truffle

Extreme Ripped Jeans, Fishnets and Quote Tees

I have been DIY-ing my own clothes for a while now. I have always been a ripped jeans kinda gal, it's ma thaaaanng. I was quite late to the whole fishnet and ripped jeans 'trend' but I don't like to follow trends so I would rather wear it after everyone else has wore them to death. Again, it's an 'alternative' look but definitely one you wouldn't really want to wear through to winter. Too many holes going on and I get hella cold. I do my own jeans and design my own slogan/saying/quote tees (if anyone is interested in them I can create your own bespoke piece). I love being able to say what you want through your clothes. I would say these are more transitional pieces. 

Underwear

Right now I am finding New Look's underwear right on point. They are killing it. It's like my personality in a bra. I recently found 2 bra's that I loved because they look super amazing. I think it's also important to look good under your clothes - underwear wise. The below are bang on trend and look awesome in my opinion. The 2nd bra is a major push-up and I love the caging detail. This I suppose does scream fetish slightly but who cares it's hot!!

Lace up bra - around £9.99 New Look 

Caged bra - £14.99 New Look

Rain Macs and Leather Jackets

Outerwear is obviously a must for this season as it's bound to rain at some point. When doesn't it. I do love the sound of the rain though, it really relaxes me, anybody else? 

As you have guessed, throughout this post it is apparent I like bold pieces. The below rain mac is no exception. This copper effect mac is just a 'mind blown' piece. I love it A LOT. I think if you're going to get a mac, go get a statement one. It's dull enough when it is raining so why not shine through the grey with a bright piece. It is very out there but so am I. Ha. 

Most people have a leather jacket as a 'staple'  piece these days but I like to shake it up with some sort of wording on it. Own it. I have another one from H & M which says 'The Darkness Inside' on the back and I love it. 

Copper Mac - around £40 New Look 

Leather Jacket - £70 Pull and Bear

Transitional Makeup

As you know, I am a makeup and photography fanatic, and the below look is me transitioning from Summer's brights going into the Autumn hues... Mixing in the bezza (berry - if you don't get my lingo) tones. 

So there you have it, the lowdown on what I have been buying, wearing and lusting over this season. Anyone can wear any of these items, just be brave enough, believe in yourself and do it.

 Unless you're my known stalker (see previous blog post) ... Then you can't because YOU CAN'T BE ME. :) 

I hope you enjoyed this post and it has perhaps given you some inspiration for your own wardrobe or it's put you off for life. Ha, but hey this is me and I feel I have captured that.

What I Currently Buy When I Go Food Shopping | Asda | Marks And Spencers | Sainsbury's | My Favourites.

Evening guys :) 

I hope everyone is well? 

I have had such a busy week with Cody it's ridiculous. 

I have been back and forth to the vets and I am literally exhausted now. I will not bore you with the deets again as I am tired of talking about it, ha. 

I will save it for another post.

Oh and it's my day of birth on Sunday (7th) and I actually think I am doing sweet FA. Great. Lol.  

I have decided to do a bit of a different post today as I have been noticing a couple of people on Twitter do similar posts to this one. 

I wanted to do something a little different by showing you what kind of things I tend to buy when I go and do my food shopping. 

I tend to pick up things that I am familiar with each week but also if there is something new out that catches my eye I always give it a try. 

Most of what I buy isn't healthy at all. Whoops. 

C'mon, I am a girl and we like to indulge. Now when I say indulge, I think I can take it to extremes. 

I have been trying to eat better recently, for a while now I haven't really had many take-aways, I don't drink carbonated drinks and I tend to eat a lot of salads. They are my fave. 

So, if you're nosy like me and like to see what people buy in their food shop then carry on reading. 

Lets go! 

Like I mentioned, I do love a good salad, I am picky with what I eat in general but I am currently digging the whole M and S salad thaaang. If you haven't tried the prawn salad you really need to.

I found this in Asda and thought I would give it a try, again I am not really into ready meals but sometimes when you have been so busy you cba to cook. This pepperoni panini is actually really nice. I add jalapenos and Tabasco sauce.  

This is my favourite juice ever, it lits tastes like the Costa Mango and Passion fruit coolies. I have actually mixed this with ice. Beware though, this is pretty high in sugar.  

I tend to drink a fair bit of water, I cannot drink it in a glass really. Always in a bottle. My favourite flavour of this brand is the cherry one but Asda have stopped stocking it. 

 I like to have some sort of yogurt in the fridge for breakfast's when I can be bothered to eat them. I actually forgot to eat this one so I had to chuck it. :( 

I LOVE spicy food, so I always pick up some things with a bit of kick. The hot sweet chilli sauce is amazing and the bhajis are super hot.

If you know me, then you will know I am a massive lover of cake. I have to have some sort of sweet thing after I have eaten my meal. 

I totally love the M and S puddings!! 

Like I have said previously I like salads and I like to create my own and add my Chia seeds into them. I also like to add fresh chilli's to my food and grab some fruit that both me and Codes (my guinea pig) can share. I also buy a load of fruit and veg for him too. 

I tried this dressing on a whim and my lord I am obsessed with it. It's soooo good and great on salads. 

This is THE BEST curry sauce!!! I can actually only get this in a certain Sainsbury's so I grab a couple when I can. 

I buy some sort of ice cream now and then and my weapon of choice this time is these bad boys. :) 

I like to make salad wraps and if there is a fresh roast chicken about I like to add that in too. The pittas are seeded and amazing. I have gone through so many packs. 

I bought these fish cakes on a whim again as I do like the Birdseye ones but I wasn't actually too keen on these if I am honest. I think they have onion in them and I am not a fan of the taste because of that. 

The bottom two drawers of my wardrobe contain my snack food, so usually cake, chocolate and crisps so I like to vary it up when I can. These ones are really addictive. 

These Candy Kittens sweets are my all time favourite. I have only ever tried the Pineapps but they are amazing. When I go to a Sainsbury's I never leave without a pack. 

I HAVE to have chocolate floating about and I like to stock up too because you never know when you're going to need it. Right now I need it a lot because I am hormonal and stressed out. I am loving Lily O'Brien's range at the moment. 

Finally, I like to grab some bits and bobs that I wouldn't usually buy. The above are my current faves. 

And that's it. A slightly different post for me but I enjoy posts like these so I thought you may too. 

I hope you enjoyed it and if so you can find my blog here on Bloglovin' if you want to keep up to date with me.

Another Haul | Best Of The High Street Brands

Evening amigos 

Today I have been trying to get my life in order... I would say that ended up not so successful. I have now started ringing round for jobs, has it really come to this?! 

I have been learning how to use Photoshop today and I am slowly getting there, I have downloaded a free trial of Creative Cloud and I love it. The thing is it only lasts for 7 days and I need to find a serial number crack so I can use it forever because there is no way I can afford to buy it. 

If anyone could help me I would be extremely grateful?!

I popped into New Look, Boots and Superdrug on Friday and bought some things. 

OMG New Look have some amazing things in at the moment and an awesome sale on right now too. 

I had a drama in the changing rooms though. Ha ha. 

I was trying on some black dungaree's which were in the sale. Could I get them over my thighs? NO WAY IN HELL. They were a size 10 so were big enough and I finally figured out why when I was trying to force my legs out of them... They were from the petite section. 

*face palm*

I really struggled to get them off. I totally had a Ross from Friends moment with the leather pants. 

Here are the few things I bought and the item below is totally my favourite and such a steal. 

New Look you did good man!!  

I am SO IN LOVE with this bomber jacket. I have been searching for one for ages and wanted a black one. This was hanging in the 'sale' section but was still marked as full price. I held on to it to try on. It's a size 12 which I liked as it was slightly oversized. I was sold whether it was in the sale or not. 

C'mon guys... How freaking awesome is this jacket. 

It is super sparkly with the sequins and it lits goes with everything. 

It was in the sale too. I checked when I went to the till and she was like "yep, it's £15 - do you want it?"

Errrr do I want it. HELL YEAH. MINE. 

This piece from New Look is beautiful... It's rare that I find something that really catches my eye. This one however is really unique and goes so well with an all black outfit. It really stands out. 

This was also in the sale for £5.

Okay, so the story with these is a short one. I originally had the Real Techniques 301 Contour brush and I used it twice and the head came off. Grr. 

I emailed the company to inform them and to get a replacement. For some reason their site is a .com so it would have to be shipped over to me. I though Real Techniques were a British brand... Sam and Nic are British aren't they? 

Anyway, they offered me a $20 code to replace the brush which means I would have to add money to it, pay for shipping and customs for a faulty product. No way mate. 

I then took it to Boots as that's where I originally bought it from and the lady was so lovely and replaced it for me for the two brushes above. I didn't trust the manufacturing of the contour so chose not to re-purchase.  

 

I finally got my hands on these Vagas Nay lashes. I cannot wait to use these in my next makeup look. 

Lets hope she notices that I have used them. 

Life would be made. Ha. 

This was a short haul, but seriously if you haven't been to the New Look sale yet, you need to before it ends. They have some super cool things on sale and I love the brand A LOT so buying their stuff is always a winner for me.
