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.

The Baby Names Tag - What Top 10 Names I Would 100% Call My Child.

http://www.bragmybag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/say-my-name-1.png

Hi guys - happy Sundaaaayyy. 

Since I came back recently with my last blog post about my horrific ordeal I had been enduring the last few months, I cannot believe the response I have had. Literally I have been so overwhelmed by the amount of support, messages, shares and reads I have had. I have had thousands.

 I shared my story to spread awareness and to get the truth out to the public of what ACTUALLY happened and I didn't hold back either. If you are new here or you didn't get the chance to read my story on Stealthing, Sexual Consent and Stalking you can do here. 

Since then, I have had so much good stuff happening to me, it's all about the good freakin karma guys, what goes around comes around.

 A TV company contacted me after reading my blog post and they wanted to do a documentary about stealthing - it was for the BBC and for me to potentially present it. The BBC commissioner wanted me to confront the guy in question but I told them, as much as I would LOVE to do that and I 100% would, I can't because of the type of person he is - lets just say it wouldn't end pretty... For him! - Watch this space... Checkmate motherf**kers!!! :) 

I'VE GOT THE POWER!!! As the song goes. 

As you guys know, I always update you in my new blog posts as to what has been going on in my life before I actually get into the post itself. The last thing I would like to fill you guys in on is that my baby girl Bear (my dog) she was seriously ill a week yesterday and golly didn't she cost me a bomb going to and fro from the vets. Long story short, she is almost 17 and she is an old lady now but the vets suspect she has stomach cancer, this was after she had an ultrasound scan. I will be doing  a post about this later next month I think. So, yeah  I have been very upset, emotionally and physically exhausted and ended up making myself ill through stress. I am remaining positive though and spreading positive and healing energies to her. #prayforbear 

Okay, so onto the tag. As everyone knows I am single little prawn, I have no children, I am not pregnant and basically I am going to die alone. Ha. 

I watched Gabs (VelvetGh0st) 's YouTube video the other day with the baby names tag. I love stuff like this so I thought I would bring it to my blog. Whether other people follow, that's up to them but I thought it was something different and fun. 

Please though, do not make fun out of the names because some people (although I very much doubt it, ha) could be called the below.  

Lets go.... 

Yep, so I have always had a list of baby names since I was younger either written down in a pad somewhere or in my phone. I have obviously lost the ones from many moons ago but I still have my all time faves. I like quirky names, unusual ones that nobody will have. You have been warned. Ha. 

1. Troian  (girls name) 

I LOVE this name SO much... I got the name from Troian the actress who plays Spencer in PLL (Pretty Little Liars). I heard her name and was literally like 'mine' in my head. 


2. Rogue (girls name)

This is on par with Troian for me - I love this name just as much. I love strong names for girls because I want her to be like her mama!!! And I literally don't know anyone with that name and that's what I like. There may be a reason for nobody having this name but they are missing out. Ha. With this name she would totally be a bad ass in a leather jacket!!

3. Indi (girls name)

This is my boho name for a girl, it's such a cool, laid back name. I could imagine her with her little boxer braids with flowers entwined in there. It's a cute name.  

4. Autumn (girls name)

This is my favourite season, this is when I am totally at my most happiest. When you hear this word you think of warmth and positivity and she would totally be all of those things. 

5. Payton (girls names) 

I love this name too but my mum put me off saying that it sound like I am saying "patent". Grrrr. 


6. Orion (boys name) 

This is a star constellation - I have loved this name for years. It's majestic and I don't think I have ever heard a boy with that name. 

7. Vladamir (boys name) 

Okay, so my child could get bullied with this name but for me this name is a strong name - yes, when you think of this name you would think 'vampire' - (Vlad the Impeller) but to me it's different and is totally something I would go for. 

8. Dimitri (boys name) 

Again, another name that is on the exotic sounding side but I like it. My parents don't like ths name, neither do they like Vlad. Ha. 

9. Thor (boys name) 

I LOVE this name but I cannot pronounce my 'th's' properly so it ends up sounding like I am shouting out "four". So I don't think I could use this one even though this name is freakin sick!! 

10.   Wyatt (boys name) 

I liked this one too but again mother bear took the pee and said it sound likes and I quote " as if you're singing the song, I Predict a Wyatt" (I predict a riot - Kaiser Chiefs). Thanks mum. 

I also like the names, Lazarus, Bowie, Thorn, Manson, Lilani, Binx, Renesme and  Arizona.


There you have it. Some weird and wonderful names. I would love to know what you think to these names and if you have picked any of these yourself, or I would love to know your top 10!!

The Autumn/Winter Candle Burner And Wax Melts You MUST HAVE In Your Home | Kringle Candle Company Are The Bomb!

Evening my little ones. 

I am sooooo sorry I have been MIA for a bit, I have been taking a little break from blogging and most of social media. I just needed some 'me' time and time away from the negativity that surrounds the social media circle. 

I have made a lifestyle change and with that I have decided that I will be only posting once a week now instead of the usual twice. I just won't have enough time and I don't want to rush the posts and they end up being all sorts of shoddy. So, I have worked it out that I will be only posting on a Monday for a while until I sort my schedule out. I will be posting on a Monday at an earlier time than I have been posting and if I can fit in an additional post during the week I will aim for a Thursday. 

I am keeping it real with you guys as I don't really want to drop it down but it's a realistic approach. 

:) 

I have done a couple of posts now on all things Autumn related and this post is no exception. I have noticed that you guys have responded highly to the Autumn themed posts and I have a mad feeling that you are going to LOVE this one just as much. 

I am a massive fan of Autumn and Christmas (really?! Ha) and along with that I am a huge fan of Autumn and Christmas themed homeware. Again no surprise there. This time of year is full of everything cosy, warm and indulgent and that's what I love most. 

My happy place is to be surrounded by the things I love. I love a good bubble bath, hot chocolate, book, cosy pj's, movies and CANDLES!!! 

Candles just make an atmosphere don't they?! They are calming, thought provoking and smell freaking amazing. 

For a few years now I have been in love with a candle company, I heard about them from another blogger and bought their candles and absolutely loved them. When I went to buy some more the website had closed down and I was gutted. I saved my last candle because I didn't want to burn my very last one. 

Then.... They made a come back and I couldn't be any happier. The company I am talking about is Kringle Candle Company. 

And they amazingly and kindly sent me the below to try out and review. 

I love Kringle Candle Company because their scents are true to their descriptive name. They are the most realistic I have ever smelt.

 There's nothing worse than lighting a candle and the smell you thought was going to fill the room actually was the complete opposite to what is named and it smells like absolute crap. I love their candles SO much and I would even say beat all the candle companies out there that I have tried. 

I have been in contact with a super lovely lady called Louise at the company and she offered to send me their 'Electric Melt Burner', 4 of their new 'Holiday' collection wax melts, two more of their older holiday melts and one of my favourites 'Hot Chocolate'. I was allowed to choose which burner I would like too and I couldn't be more grateful. I am a sucker for candles so I was super excited to receive the items. 

Thank you so much Louise at Kringle Candle Company for being so generous. 

Kringle Candle Company are online only and are the 'first and only authorised website totally dedicated to Kringle scented candles in the UK'. Their candles are all-white which means fellow bloggers you're in for a visionary treat as they 'emit the purest, brightest light possible' which makes it perfect for your backdrops. 

Score!

My room is white and rose gold/copper so obviously I went for the copperesque burner to match. It's so freaking cute, just look at it. The have LOADS to choose from too. This one is the 'Cello Electric Burner' and is new in, it has been developed in partnership with Woodwick. 

If you don't know what an electric burner is - it's a burner that allows fragranced wax cubes or tarts to be used in the home without the need of tealights. That's right, that means no naked flame. The wax melt is placed on the clear dish, you plug the burner in and switch it on. The bulb in the centre of piece gently warms the wax until it melts like a normal candle. This means it's safe (to an extent) to use in the home where there are children and pets about. 

Cool huh?! I think so! 

This currently retails at £29.99

If you like this one, you can find it here. 

The wax melts they sent me below are super freaking awesome, they couldn't be more 'me'. I cannot wait to burn them all. They have SO many different scents on the website so there is definitely something for everyone. These are perfect Christmas presents! 

NEW

 This one is 100% my favourite, it actually smells like Christmas. Christmas tree's with a hint of a burning fire. Just think Christmas morning or Christmas Eve. It's a beautiful smell and I will be burning this in December fo'sure. This is Christmas in a candle and all the candles retail at £2.69 which I feel is a bargain considering these burn up to 20 hours and are actually quite large.

Get it here. 

I am totally not the best at describing scents because... Well I am just not. Ha. But this one reminds me of Winter completely, imagine walking through the woods and you can smell Fir trees and the earth around you. It's so fresh and in their description there are notes of a moss smell, which is what I have been trying to pin point and now I know that was the smell.

Get it here.  

Bar the 'Cosy Christmas' one this is a mega favourite, this just smells like a god damn hot chocolate. The after smell (once you have sniffed)resonates with you and leaves you feeling satisfied. It's really hard to describe without you smelling it for yourself but the primary scent is cocoa. I LOVE IT!

Get it here. 

Writing about these products just makes me love them more because they truly are amazing. This one holds a scent of cinnamon - spices, the site describes 'scent of bread' and 'warm heath-side aromas'. This is totally true and is so warming, they all remind me of the good memories around this time of year and leaves you feeling strangely positive.

Get it here.

NEW

This one actually made me laugh because when I first took a sniff of it, it reminded me of a really nice smelling man. Ha. The company describes the scent as 'cheery', with a 'citrus berry essence amid fresh mahogany'. Now, excuse my ignorance but I am not too sure on what mahogany is meant to smell of. Wood? Either way this smells soooo good!! Definitely a masculine scent this one.

Get it here.

  

NEW

'Winter Wonderland' is not dissimilar in scent to to the 'Snow-Capped Fraser' melt. It is softer I would say but totally smells of pine and woodlands, this scent brings back a lot of memories when I used to go on autumn walks with my parents. It's so cute. 

Get it here.

NEW 

The last one in my collection is 'Leaves' and this was the one I was most excited to see. I have been searching high and low for a UK candle company to bring out an Autumn smelling candle. America have loads and I was like "YAS" when I got this. 

It's really hard to get a scent that is exactly like leaves. When I first smelt this I could 100% smell the citrus and spice vibes and the after smell brings out the wood aroma. I can't wait to burn this one and see what it's like in a room. 

Get it here.

 The real test was to actually try the burner and candles out. I wanted to test the least Christmas scented one out because lets face it, it's October, so I went for my 'nice man' smelling one 'Frosted Mahogany'. 

I plugged it in, placed the plate on top and then popped the melt in the centre ready to burn. 

I would say it took around 5 minutes for the bulb to warm up the wax melt and when it did I was TOTALLY impressed, the smell was immense and filled the whole room with in minutes. 

You are advised not to leave this burning for longer than 3 hours which is the norm for a heated product and not to obviously touch the plate whilst hot. 

The light this burner gives off is truly magical, it just brings this season to life, it's warm, glistening and super cosy. True to the description of their products this gives off the most amazing lighting. I am so impressed it's unreal. 

See below at the results. 

I will only post about products that I truly believe in and love and I tell you now, if you love homeware, candles and this season you NEED this is your home. 

Yes, I was sent this product but if you have followed my posts for a while you know if there is something I don't like I will state it. Being sent a product does not cloud my judgement as I have been sent things that I don't get on with and haven't featured. 

This company is amazing, the products are awesome and their pricing is so competitive. This electric burner and melts would make a pretty special gift for someone. With Christmas coming up why not treat yourself or your loved ones because you will not be disappointed that's fo'sure! 

My mum is in love and wants one for herself and my Nan. Ha. In fact she's trying to steal mine from me. 

NO! 

I really hope you liked this post, it was a lengthy one but I wanted to give you as much info as possible.
