Outfit Of The Day | American Apparel Stripes

Dress – American Apparel* | Shoes – Vans

As you will have seen if you follow me on Instagram, the lovely people at American Apparel have been kind enough to send me a selection of goodies recently, including this fab dress! I’m a big fan of stripes (in case you hadn’t figured this out by now!), particularly those of the skinny black and white variety, so this is perfect. It’s easy to wear casually with Vans Sk8 His like I have here, but I would definitely put it on for a casual night out with some chunky heeled ankle boots too. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this dress is £36 – great value for such a versatile piece! And if you’re not a fan of stripes, it’s available in a whole array of plain colours too.

Blue Coat (I’m back!)

Coat – Fabric Boutique* | Kimono – In Love With Fashion* (similar) | Dress – Karma Clothing*

Boots Missguided* (similar) | Necklace – Chelsea Doll*

I’m back! Exams are over and I finally can get back into the swing of blogging, and actually getting dressed most days as opposed to living in my pyjamas. I hope that everyone else who has had exams got through them alive, and a massive good luck to everyone who has them at the moment!

I have accumulated a little collection of lovely new clothes over exam period, which I’ve been really excited to wear, so yesterday I threw on a bunch of them at once. I wore my new, super cute bargain £9.99 velvet dress from Karma Clothing with a black and white floral kimono from In Love With Fashion, and continued the monochromatic theme with this gorgeous statement necklace from Chelsea Doll. I wore one of the latest additions to my coloured coat collection over the top, this gorgeous purple toned baby blue boyfriend coat from Fabric Boutique. I love the style and shape, and of course the colour, and it’s also much warmer and cosier than many of my other similar coats too which is a bonus.

Don’t forget I have an ASOS £50 voucher giveaway ending tomorrow 🙂

Mesh Jumper

Jumper – Miss London Fashion* | Jeans – Cheap Monday / Urban Outfitters | Boots – Barratts*

Outfits don’t get much more simple than this, but sometimes I think simple is the most effective. I love the cut out mesh detail of this jumper, which has a texture similar to a neoprene Topshop jumper I almost bought many months ago. This one is far more exciting however, the detailed embroidery and cut outs make it a real statement piece, and now is the perfect opportunity to buy as Miss London have 30% off everything this week only with code ML30DISC! I paired the jumper with my favourite black skinny jeans by Cheap Monday and fab new boots from Barratts – they’re a little higher than my usual everyday footwear but they’re still comfortable to walk in and I love the subtle gold metal accents. These particular boots are no longer available on the Barratts website, but you can get similar here.

Sheer Stripe

Shirt – Urban Outfitters | Crop Top – Select* | Skort – Romwe | Trainers – Nike

Yet another sheer paneling piece: this time it’s a white cropped vest from Select, which is a total steal at £6! The black version is even more of a bargain on sale for £4. White and black crop tops are an essential part of my wardrobe, and the sheer panel in this one gives it a little bit of an edge which I love. Here I’m wearing it with my Zara style black skort from Romwe, an old oversized and asymmetric sheer black shirt by Sparkle & Fade from Urban Outfitters (a great alternative cover-up to the very ‘in’ sheer kimono) and black and white Nike Roshe Runs. I’m carrying a new bag from Primark, the colour of which I love and at £12 it’s great value for such a large bag – it is easily big enough to be an overnight or weekend bag.

Orange Blazer

Blazer – Choies* | Dress – Rihanna x River Island | Boots – Missguided* | Necklace – Fashion Nonsense* | Bracelet – Chicnova*

Another outfit from last week, featuring a new Choies blazer! As you may have gathered from some previous posts I’m a fan of orange at the moment, and this pale tangerine shade is perfect and summery. This particular colour is currently sold out, but you can keep your eye out for restocks or purchase it for a very reasonable £19.79 in one of the other five colours – I think white or pink would be my next choice! The blazer comes with shoulder pads, however I’ve removed mine for a more relaxed look. I wore it with a piece from the latest Rihanna x River Island collection – I’m not a Rihanna fan but I have been very much impressed by both of her River Island collaborations so far, save for a few more “interesting” pieces (those double jeans?!). I love this print and hope to acquire some more of it, but at £20 this dress (which is technically a top, but long enough to be a mini-dress for average height or petite ladies) was a no-brainer. I’m also wearing my favourite new MissGuided boots, Fashion Nonsense spiked necklace and a skull bangle from Chicnova. PS: how cute is the wallpaper in the hallway of my new flat?! Perhaps a post about it / mini tour is in order?

Simplicity

Top – Choies* | Skort – Romwe* | Trainers – Nike

A simple black and white outfit from a sunny day! I bought myself some new trainers for the first time in ages the other day – black and white Nike Roshe Runs. I already own the Roshe Runs in Digi Camo, but I wanted this super plain pair as they’ll go with any outfit. They’re also the comfiest trainers in the entire world! I wore them with some more mesh paneling in this top from Choies (out of stock at the moment, but there’s a similar version here), and although I’m a little late to the party with the wrap skorts (other than the ones I owned as a small child!), I’m loving them at the moment. The sizing on the original Zara version wasn’t right for me, but these from Romwe are perfect – I also have a white version from SheInside and recently ordered them in blue for a bargain £5.99 from eBay!

I’ve decided to try to get nominated for my first award, so if you enjoy reading my blog please nominate me for ‘best established fashion blog’ in the Cosmo Blog Awards! Follow this link, it takes two seconds. Thank you 🙂

Skort

Top – SheInside* | Skort – SheInside* | Shoes – Choies*

Today’s outfit consisted of my new SheInside pieces! This ‘skort’ is identical to the blogger favourite from Zara but is a bargain at £15, today I paired it with this fab long sleeve crochet/lace style top. The top is very sheer so I wore a nude vest top underneath, but I love the contrast of the opaque pattern against the sheer and my skin underneath.

I’m also wearing my favourite new flat shoes from Choies, ‘inspired’ by the adorable Marc By Marc Jacobs ‘Shorty’ shoes. They have a velvet upper and are super comfortable, and when I was in the Post Office today a little girl told me that she liked them, so now I’m even more obsessed!

I will be posting less over the next couple of weeks as it’s exam period for me (eek!), but you can follow me on Instagram (@hannahlouisef) for daily updates 🙂

Top – SheInside* | Skirt – River Island | Jacket – MeeMee* | Bag – New Look | Shoes – Vans via Amazon

I loved the super sweet and simple monochromatic flower prints at Prada SS13, and whilst unfortunately my budget doesn’t quite stretch far enough to own any of those myself, this semi-sheer t-shirt from SheInside is a great alternative and is a huge bargain at £12.40! I’ve already worn it a bunch of times since I received it, but today I paired it with my new white midi skirt with mesh panels from River Island (£22), my now slightly battered Vans Sk8 His, New Look monochrome bag and MeeMee jacket*.

I think it’s probably about time I started wearing some colour again! Hopefully my freshly dyed hair is enough for now, because I’m still definitely not over monochrome.

Monochrome

Top – H&M | Shorts – Stylestalker via eBay | Tights – MissGuided* | Trainers – Nike

Following the even exciting London Fashion Week, I think it has been reinforced that monochrome is clearly the trend of the moment and will be for some time, and this t-shirt from H&M nails it! I love the proportions of the black and white, as well as the relaxed shape. Here I’m wearing it with my Stylestalker faux leather shorts which I got for £5 on eBay, Nike Premium Digi Camo Roshe Runs, and new adorable cat face tights from MissGuided! Obviously I piled on a couple of cardigans and a coat as it’s FREEZING at the moment, but I think that this outfit as it is would be perfect for a warm day too.
