Autumn chill




Outfit:
Quilted black faux leather jacket: Zara (similar)
Floral printed silky tee: Primark (similar)
Silky black maxi skirt: c/o New Look (similar)
Red stack heeled flat ankle strap shoes: Dorothy Perkins
Black Bayswater: Mulberry
Rose gold boyfriend watch - Next (similar)

Summer is well and truly over and I'm still trying to avoid wearing tights so instead I'm opting for a maxi skirt to try and avoid the cold. This rather snazzy shoes were a bargain sale buy from last week. I loved the mini faux snakeskin stacked heel to help give some height and an ankle strap is always a winner. Not the most comfortable pair of shoes it has to be said but that's nothing a few plasters can't solve! I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this faux leather jacket this autumn as it's the perfect thickness for the coming autumn months. I'll even go as far as to say it's probably my favourite thing I've brought this year. Yeah I know. That's a hell of a bold statement.

This coming week is jam packed and once again I'm burning the candle at both ends. My boyfriend was lucky enough to win iTune festival tickets to see Haim so I have that to look forward to on Saturday. I'm also out for dinner three times this week - someone say greedy?! One for a much needed catch up with my best friend, the second for Lily's birthday and the third for burger afternoon tea for Sarah's birthday. Lily's my kind of girl as we're now doing the third thing to help celebrate her birthday! I've got a few blog events to go to as well so it really is all systems go. Next week I'm looking forward to coming home from work and spending the evenings snuggled up in my pyjamas.

I know I know your face but I've forgotten your name

 

Outfit:
Blue light jacket - H&M (similar)
Blue and white boyfriend fit shirt - Topshop via eBay (similar)
Blue skinny jeans - Primark (similar)
White plimsols - Vans

This is my attempt of trying to be effortless and cool like those American blogs. In other words I woke up on monday morning and really couldn't be bothered to go all out for work. On went my vans and a baggy boyfriend fit shirt as a I opted for comfort. Sometimes you really don't want to spend too much time deciding what to wear in the morning. The weather isn't helping either to be honest. Hello Autumn! I really don't want to break out my thick black tights just yet so I'm loitering about in skinny jeans until my poor legs can't cope anymore. Blame the mother who has instilled in me that it's rather odd to wear tights from April to September despite the gail force winds and torrential rain.

Can I go into hibernation please?

Lee Stafford Breaking Hair Shampoo
This was going spare at work so I nabbed it to give it a little whirl. What a disappointment. It made my hair feel absolutely awful and it collected grease more often than normal. It didn't lather at all and I had to use a lot in order to feel like my hair had a good wash. It's not worth spending your hard earned pennies on!  

No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Lotion
I'm a sucker for No7 products. I think they're such good value for money and always feel lovely on my skin. This was no exception. It helped my skin feel nice and refreshed in the morning and didn't break me out. It's one to pick up when the no7 vouchers come out again.

No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser
This is one product i'll continue to buy time and time again. It's perfect to use at the end of the day to get rid of all the grime on your face that has built up. It's like having your own little spa in your bathroom! I just leave it on for a couple of minutes to soak in and then remove for silky soft skin.

Nivea Daily Essentials Regenerating Night Cream
I cannot recommend this product enough. It feels like a little bit of luxury on your skin despite the cheap price tag. The gorgeous thickness of the product glides on perfectly and makes your skin feel completely regenerated in the morning - exactly what it says on the tin!
