OOTD: Boxing Day Buys

Hat: H&M | Top: Urban Outfitters | Skirt: Forever 21 | Boots: Public Desire (similar) | Bag: Charles & Keith | Coat: Topshop

Christmas may be over, but I'm definitely still in a holiday mood! My days are spent switching between old reruns of Parks and Recreation and actually doing some studying for the exams in January, of course while wearing fluffy socks and armed with mugs of hot tea. 

Despite the cold, I'm trying not to blend into the sea of blacks and greys everyone seems to be wrapped up in. My favourite pick from the Boxing Day sales is this red matchstick jumper from Urban Outfitters, which is really cosy and has a cute print at the same time. Another new buy are my faux suede knee high boots from Public Desire, which really protect me against the cold and look great with a flippy skater skirt.

Did you all have a good Christmas? What did everyone buy in the Boxing Day sales, and did you break the bank like I did?

OOTD: Clueless

Headband: Primark | Coat: Topshop | Top: Asos | Skirt: Missguided | Shoes: HIdden Fashion* | Ring: Accessorize

This week is busy, busy, busy! I've got loads of events to attend this week and have been running around trying to finish up my work and errands beforehand. 

I wore this look to school the other day, and isn't that skirt just appropriate? Very Cher Horowitz from the movie Clueless, a modern take on my favourite Jane Austen novel, Emma. It's too bad I didn't dare wear my knee high socks out! But as you can see, the weather is still fairly tolerable so I've been able to go sleeveless with a coat thrown over to beat the cold. My chunky loafers completed my boarding school prep look, but truth be told they're a little big for me, even with insoles. I'm thinking of selling them off, any potential buyers out there? x

OOTD: Faux Fur Scarf

Coat: Topshop | Dress: John Zack | Boots: Asos | Scarf: Dorothy Perkins* | Clutch: boohoo

I'm officially feeling like it's Christmas, what with the Manchester markets opening up last weekend! I popped by the Albert Square one on opening night, and immediately headed for my dutch mini pancakes slathered in Nutella - scrummy!

Despite the huge crowds, it was cold out. Luckily I had my brand new faux fur scarf kindly gifted by the Dorothy Perkins team at the Fashionchick event (read about it here). It's very on point for this season, I was actually contemplating buying a cheaper version over at Primark. Plus it looks quite classy, if I do say so myself, layered over my Topshop camel coat (which has been out of stock for ages, I kept checking the website and immediately snapped it up when it came back in stock). My look was completed with a cute collared dress by John Zack at only £10, and a handy rollover boohoo clutch for that effortless feel to a perfect night outfit!

Have you guys been to the markets yet? I'm definitely heading back for some jams and chutneys soon! x

OOTD: Do the Polka

Dress: boohoo | Hat: H&M | Bag: Topshop | Heels: New Look

Things have been a little quiet around here - I've been showing my friend around Manchester and also enjoying the Halloween weekend! I went as a (rusty) Tin Woman a la The Wizard of Oz, which you can check out on my instagram. I didn't manage to get any really nice photos, but I did have a pretty good time all around!

Another friend of mine recently celebrated her 22nd birthday, and for her party she went with a vintage theme. Obviously, this was really broad, but I went with a 50s vibe with a halter-neck polka dot dress I spied online. How great does it look dressed up! The navy mesh peeking out from the hemline also keeps things modern, and I jazzed up the look with a fire engine red satchel and matching lippy.

Excuse the last couple of shots - I was twirling around to shoot the fullness of the skirt, but lost my balance a couple of times in my heels! :X

Anyway, it's back to school (and tackling coursework) for me this week after all the fun of my break!

OOTD: Baroque Mini

Sweater: Uniqlo | Skirt: Hidden Fashion* | Necklace: Kollidea* | Ankle socks: Topshop | Boots: Asos

I spent my whole weekend in my bed of tissues, warming myself around mugs of hot tea and Chinese medicine to chase away the cold that's been plaguing me! :( Darn those changes in weather.

Before that, though, I wore this cute number out for a lunch at SoLita Bar and Restaurant here in Manchester. It was pretty windy (maybe that's why I got my cold?), but my Heattech Uniqlo turtleneck was perfect for the temperature and effortlessly stylish, too. I received the printed mini from Hidden Fashion some time ago, although it's spot-on for the A/W trend of baroque floral prints. I finished off the look with some delicate accessories from Kollidea, and a peek of frilly ankle socks!

Speaking of SoLita, I highly recommend the place for their special (available for a limited time only), the Breville Without a Cause! Instead of the regular buns you find on burgers, they use grilled cheese toast (brevilles) and cheekily note that it's "not for girls". Well, I shared it with my friend, so I managed to get away with it!

OOTD: Roll Neck Sweater

Hat: H&M | Sweater: Forever 21 | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: New Look | Bag: Primark

It was a bit of a mistake wearing this outfit to lecture yesterday - it started raining cats and dogs, and my feet definitely got soaked! I feel so sorry for my hat and bag, which got most of the rain, but was so grateful for my roll-neck jumper - it's bang on trend and so cosy! Plus it gives any look a great injection of colour.

I snapped up the Topshop Leigh jeans at the most recent Student Lock-In event at Trafford Centre. Who can resist a hefty 20% discount? I'm a big fan of Topshop's jeans, which are super comfy and wear and tear-resistant. I'm also pretty happy with the way they look, paired with some heels like my new buys from New Look.
