Winter to Spring Lookbook

-
Hello! Happy 2017! Yes, I am probably the last person in the world to say that but this is my first post of the new year, so have a gooden. 

Although winter seems like it lasts for 3/4 of the year, we are slowly but surely edging into spring, and the SS17 collections will be popping up in our shops here, there and everywhere before we know it. This mini lookbook includes some of the stuff I've really been enjoying recently that are sure to take me through to spring.

*Some of these things I've had for a while, so will link similar things if I can find some:)*



|LOOK 1| 

Coat: New Look, Top: Miss Selfridge (similar), Jeans: New Look,
Scarf: Miss Selfridge (similar), Boots: Clarks 
As we slip into spring, layering is a must. The traditional duster coat never seems to go out of winter fashion. Its not too thick, so perfect for the transitional period. Adding pops of colour with the khaki top and colourful scarf brings the outfit to life. Snap these boots up while you can: they've been added to the Clarks sale, and I can't recommend them enough. The block heel makes them super comfy, and the tan leather goes with everything while being a nice alternative to black. Simple but effective. 

|LOOK 2|

Cardigan: Zara (similar), Jeans: ASOS, Shirt: New Look (similar), Brogues: Clarks

Nothing beats a cosy cardigan on chilly evenings. They are such a versatile piece and can be dressed up or dressed down - this look is somewhere in between. Pairing a must-have striped shirt with the ripped mom jeans makes for a relaxed look, plus these jeans are uber comfortable and I have worn them to death. The brogues add a cutesy edge to the outfit and pull it all together. 

|LOOK 3| 

Top: Dorothy Perkins, Skirt: New Look (similar), Earrings: Topshop  (similar),
Tights: Tesco, Boots: Clarks 

This ensemble incorporates two of this winters biggest trends: high neck tops and textured fabrics. The cord material and zip detailing add a fun twist to a classic outfit. The black Chelsea boots are essential for any wardrobe and pair perfectly as dainty boot option for this girly look. 

|LOOK 4| 

Jumper: ASOS, Jeans: Miss Selfridge, Trainers: Pull and Bear (similar) 
Embroidery has been a big thing this season, and these jeans with their adorable floral embroidery have become a firm favourite in my wardrobe. Also incorporating cute embroidery is this lightweight black jumper: simplistic on the the front so it doesn't clash with the pattern on the jeans, but the little star-shaped elbow patches add another twist. The pink in the floral embroidery pairs perfectly with these comfy pink plimsolls, and brings together the pastel tones sure to make it big this spring. 

|LOOK 5|

Top: ASOS, Jeans: New Look, Heels: New Look (similar), Earrings: Pia
This is the ideal party look for when it's not formal enough for a posh dress, but not casual enough to wear jeans and a t-shirt. The gorgeous metallic knit stands out so well against the plain black jeans and heels, while the earrings draw the silver in the outfit together. Having earrings that don't dangle too low means that they don't detract attention from the main part of the look, while still looking like you've put effort in. Block heels are also great for this time of year, the platform and wide heel making them surprisingly comfortable. This will for sure be my go-to party outfit this season.

Tom Odell Live [Review]

I sit here, tucked under my duvet in my Wrong Crowd t-shirt, trying to find the words to describe last night's events: exhilarating, emotional, powerful, fantastic. Pushed up against a barrier with my hair sticking to my forehead, and the girl next to me swaying this way and that, I screamed the lyrics to Tom Odell's songs for an hour and a half straight, as he embarked on the Birmingham leg of his No Bad Days Tour 2016.  Calm and collected, unlike everyone in the crowd, Tom strolled onto the stage and took his seat at the grand piano. The lyrics of Still Getting Used to Being On My Own glided in, and as the intensity of the instruments built, as the did the light show, alongside the sheer passion behind Tom's vocals. I thought this was a strange opener; the song deliberates the tragic struggle of getting over a relationship. However, this was picked up by the thriving rock ballad I Know, which inspired plenty of fist pumps. Following this was his latest album...

A Week in Outfits

Oh hey! Long time no see. I have been super busy with all my uni stuff recently; I've got to that stage where I pretend everything's okay, watch a tonne of Brooklyn 99 and consume far too many Party Rings to procrastinate doing the work I actually have to do, hence I haven't really been on here much. Also, the photo set up - as you will be able to tell - hasn't really been sorted out yet. My box room isn't great for good outfit shots etc, so I've been wondering how to tackle a week in outfits post. I've settled with a a mirror selfie...I'm sorry, you're going to have to bare with for a while I think :').  I've kept you waiting for a new post for long enough, so without further ado, let's get on with the week in outfits, shall we?  monday.  First of all, I'd like to point out that I haven't really updated my A/W wardrobe since last year, so I don't know how much will still be available. But I'm pretty hap...

A Week in Outfits: Holiday Edition

When it comes to seasonal fashion, I know exactly what I like during Autumn/Winter - if it's cable knit and comfy I'm there. But in the warmer months I like to push the boat out a little bit...and when I say 'push the boat out', I mean wear something that isn't grey or black, and maybe even a skirt or two. Before I went to Florida, I did a big spend up on summer clothes. I couldn't wait to wear them all, so decided to wear them all in the first week of our holiday! So, here's what I wore in Florida, showcasing some old classics and some new faves.  *The brown bag you'll see throughout is from Accessorize ( similar ), and my sunnies are from French Connection  :) The belt is actually my brother's and he has no idea where he got it oops*  TUESDAY: DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS  As I was travelling on the Monday and was just wearing my comfies, we start with Tuesday. I know I said that sometimes I venture away from grey and black...
