Neon aztec

  

Blazer: New Look

Top: Wallis

Jeans: New Look

Shoes: Office

Necklace: Miss Selfridge

Say hello to the last summery outfit of the year - it's time to get out the burgundy's and the grey's and put all the neons away till next year. (Although the occasional bright nail and lip may still occur). It's officially getting cold and dark, and winter is well on it's way which is fine by me. I adore Autumn but I just haven't been able to pull out the warm coats and scarves yet which ruins it a little for me. Hopefully November will restore my love for Autumn - fires and chunky knits are much awaited!

I nabbed this blazer a month or so ago in the New Look sale at a stupidly cheap price. I know this print/colourway has been everywhere this summer but I just didn't really get into it at first. However, we all know I love a blazer and wear them at least 4 times a week so I couldn't really pass this by could I? 

I have a pretty chilled dress code at work so jeans and blazers are my go to outfit if I happen to snooze my alarm one too many times, which may happen more often than it should. Time to hunt down some more Autumny blazers now perhaps?

Fluffy jumpsuits

I picked this jumpsuit up for my birthday a couple of weeks ago with the determination to wear it more than once. Is it just me or does it feel really different to wear a jumpsuit during the day than at night? Either way I took the plunge and wore it. Paired with this fluffy jumper from Matalan and my cute sneakery high top things. I think it makes a pretty cool casual look without looking like I'm heading to the gym!

The pattern is pretty out there so I kept the jewellery simple. My rose gold watch and some mix and match rings from my sisters room finish off my OOTD.

Oh and of course I am rocking some pretty cool nail varnish. This particular one is from Barry M and is a new textured effect polish (feels a little like sand). I'm sure you guys gave noticed my love for nail art...and if you haven't then you should really head on over to my Instagram! This gorgeous sparkly purple/gold is an easy way out if you don't have the time (or the patience) for anything too bananas!

Time out

I really think it is starting to feel like autumn this week. It's dark by the time I eventually get home from work and all I want to do is snuggle up in my PJ's. On that note - here is a post on what would make my perfect autumn night in!

You simply can't have a cosy night in without a burning fire and cuddly slippers. These slipper boots are from Matalan and I have a feeling I may buy these to replace my tatty old ones that I currently have.Cold nights in should always include comfort food, and my ultimate 'sit in front of the tv and do a whole lot of nothing' food is...m&m's. I will happily sit and eat them all evening - and I quite often do. Going on from these tasty morsels, what better way to eat them than in front of a rom-com? I haven't yet seen I give it a year, but I have ordered it ready for when I finally get around to having a night to myself. Painting my nails is one of the first things I think about doing when I have time to spare. I am obsessed with nail art and it is very rare that you'll spot me with just one plain ol' colour on. I don't actually have any clue what brand these are (the image is from google) but I thought it looked cool, and I wasn't going to waste any of my colours re-creating it!
What items make the perfect night in for you?

Autumn wishlist

Hello autumn, I've missed you! 

Being the first day of autumn, it seemed fitting to post my wish list for this season. There is nothing I love more than being snuggled in my dressing gown with a hot cup of tea when its dark out. And I love it even more when I don't have to wait till 10pm for it to be dark. Autumn is definitely my favourite season by far, and it also holds my birthday which just makes it a million times better.

1. I love burning candles and I discovered this brand when I surprised my sister with a mini hamper after her she finished her MA. Warm welcome just sounds autumn-y and it has 5 stars on the website so it must be good, right?

2. Black ankle boots are a staple item for me during the colder months. Ballet pumps just aren't wise with all the rain we get (no one likes having soggy feet) so I live in boots. I realised during a rainy day last week that my current ankle boots have a hole somewhere at the bottom of the right foot, erghhh! These ones from New Look just look cosy.

3. If you follow me on Instagram then you've probably noticed that i'm a big fan of nail art. I have embraced neons and pastels this summer, but i'm excited to start using darker colours. Butter London nail varnishes are amazing, but just so expensive :(. I really like this mossy green sparkly colour though...maybe i'll put it on my birthday list!

4. Chapped lips+lipstick=dreadful combo. BUT, Benefit lipsticks are so so moisturising that I don't have to worry about that particular problem. These new 'hydra-smooth' lipsticks caught my eye and I have found my favourite shade in the collection. It's 'Talk flirty' and is a medium coverage pinky purple, perfect for everyday wear.

5. I spend a lot of time at work researching high street stores and looking at all the new items coming in. With the dramatic change in weather that we have seen over the last couple of weeks, high street stores are quickly stocking thick snuggly jumpers and cardigans for the cold weather we will be having for probably the next 8 months. This cardigan from River Island caught my eye at work on Tuesday, and I haven't stopped going back on the site to look at it. I am seriously struggling to dress appropriately for the weather at the minute.I dress for the cold temperatures but then get too hot on the train to work. I think this cardigan is perfect- snuggly enough for the train journey but not too thick that I can't wear it under a coat when walking around London.

Now the only problem I have is what to buy first?!
