You might’ve seen my post about my new glittery midi skirt from Primark, so here’s how I styled it! Being black, it’s a pretty versatile piece so I can wear it with so many other things too, which I always love about a garment.
What do you think? Leave me your Lookbook urls in a comment below, I’m always interested to check out my readers’ style.
A simple outfit which I wore this evening. I’d been eyeing these leggings up for a while, and even thinking of DIYing myself a pair, so when I saw some in my size in the Topshop sale I snapped them up. Someone described this look as ‘school girl meets grunge’ which I think is pretty accurate!
This midi length speckled t-shirt dress from Topshop can be styled in so many ways, but I thought that this, paired with a leather biker jacket, was a cute autumn/winter look. Here, I’ve brightened it up a tiny bit with leopard print details and Mac ‘Morange’ lipstick! The dress would look super cute with a pair of ankle boots too, either plain black or leopard print (both pictured below, from Topshop), or even ballet flats or slippers.

Metallics seem to be constantly in nowadays, which reminded me about this black and gold striped top I bought in a vintage shop in Harrogate years ago! Today I’ve paired it with my new pleated pleather skirt from Primark, and some gold glitter tights to match. I could wear this outfit out in an evening with a leather jacket or blazer and wedges, or dress it down with some little black booties for the daytime (which is what I’m wearing today).

Despite a belated birthday trip to London with my boyfriend falling through because I was ill (boo), he bought me this gorgeous camo jacket from Urban Outfitters. Despite the pretty ridiculous price tag, it’s so much nicer than any charity, vintage or even military shop alternative I’ve found. My leggings are also a recent purchase, from romwe.com, they’re great! I love the idea, however after one wear two of the studs have already come off 🙁 I’ve managed to fix them, but I’m not sure how long they’ll last. My wintery boots are also new, they look just like the men’s Pointer boots which I love, and for only £36 from Topshop they’re a great buy!

A simple look, about which I don’t have much to say. This is my new skirt, which arrived from Romwe today. I love it! It’s just like the American Apparel accordion skirts, but in a heavier, almost velvety fabric, and much, much cheaper.
In other unrelated news – I went to see Bon Iver last night and was completely blown away! Anyone who ever gets a chance to see them should without a doubt go, even if you’ve never listened to their music before they put on a phenomenal show. I had a great night!
I recently bought this gorgeous coat for a bargain £18 from Primark, and today realised that the fur collar on it is actually detachable! This means that not only do I have two slightly different coats, but I also have a super nice faux fur collar to wear with other outfits. I always go on about how much I love versatile garments, but they really are great. Here I’ve paired the collar with a simple outfit, including all important thick wool tights for the autumn cold.
I’m also wearing my beautiful new Vivienne Westwood red diamanté heart earrings, which my boyfriend bought me for our anniversary last week. I’ve now got the full set, necklace, bracelet and earrings, from him; safe to say I’m very lucky!
Last night I made this mini-cross t-shirt using an old black t-shirt and some safety pins! I think it’s a really effective, cheap and easy way to create a unique look. When I have more safety pins, I think I might make the cross bigger on this t-shirt, or perhaps try a new pattern on a different shirt. Will you be trying this?
My favourite thing about maxis is that they are so versatile, and can dress up an otherwise plain outfit. They’re also great for the cold British A/W because you can wear as many pairs of tights and leggings as you like underneath, without looking ridiculous! Definitely a winter wardrobe staple. Here I’ve paired black with a bunch of leopard print accessories – you can never have too many right?
It has not stopped raining in North England over the past few days! I wore this, with ankle boots instead of heels, whilst trekking around Leeds on Saturday. The heatwave in England is well and truly over, so the jumpers are coming back out. I love winter wardrobes and cute umbrellas, but I do not love rain!
