MIDI DRESS & CORAL JUMPER - INTERNACIONALE // BURGANDY JUMPER - PRIMARK // JEANS - TOPSHOP // BLACK & WHITE CARDIGAN - H&M // FACE WASH - SUPERDRUG

A while back I had a real urge to go on spending spree as now I have a reason to always buy clothes - sixth form! I'm actually surpised how I managed to get all of this for just under £60 (not including the jeans)!! I particularly wanted some more knitwear because who doesn't love cosy jumpers/cardigans?! I bought a black midi dress from Internacionale for only £15 - they're super easy to wear and perfect for those 'cba' days! I also got a coral three quarter sleeve jumper for the same price - I picked it up instantly because it's very similar to topshop's and coral is my colour! I deffo needed some more colour in my wardrobe too. The burgandy jumper is from Primark for a mere £8 - I wanted some other colours but none were particularly nice and this colour is my all time fave to wear for autumn! I finally got mself a big knit cardigan from H&M for £20 - It's zip up rather than buttoned but I loved the mixed knit of it. The jeans are the Joni Jeans from topshop - I'm deffo going to live in jeans this winter so decided it's probably best to get another colour. Finally, the face wash was to replace my exfoliate scrub from body shop which has run out!

JACKET & CAMI - NEW LOOK // JEANS - TOPSHOP //CONVERSE - OFFICE // BAG - ALIEXPRESS

I've finally worked out a way I can take photos with a little less hassle - I've managed to squeeze my tripod into my miniscule room (it's so minsucle you can't even fit a double bed in - feel sorry for me). The backdrop isn't nessecarrily the nicest but it's definitely a lot more practicle for if I have a few minutes spare before I leave the house. I've really struggled getting OOTD's recently - I'm in a rush in the morning and 4 days out of 5 I come home in my gym clothes! Hopefully I'll get used to it soon!!

You know those days when you just can't be bothered to make an effort? This was one of those days. I went for my trusty Joni Jeans and a cami - cami's look gorgeous with everything and make it look like I've put in ten times more effort than I have. I chucked on my leather jacket for warmth - I've been wearing this a lot lately - it's been that perfect temperature outside - not too hot or too cold!

It's been a busy start at Sixth Form - I've got a whole load of work to do and it's hard juggling it all with my school sports academies and my out of school clubs too, but I'm definitely enjoying it so far! Posts are likely to be sparse on my blog for a while, but I have my priorities and I'm determines to ace these two years of A Levels!!

Phase Eight Wishlist*

Monday, 23 September 2013

*This is a sponsered post

Recently I was contacted and introduced to a brand found in John Lewis I hadn't originally ever heard of - Phase Eight. After a little browse online at the collection it made me crave for a big 'red carpet glamour' night. All a girl ever wants is to up once in a while, put on that stunning dress, those sparkly, painful-but-totally-worth-it heels, do the big hair and smoky eyes and finish the look with a bold lippy. Unfortunately being a student it's very rare that I ever get those occasions so I decided to share a little wishlist for you for finding the perfect pieces for the glam look.

They have the most perfect dresses, my favourite being the pink lace cocktail dress. The colour is absolutely gorgeous and I can see it looking great with a neutral, light wash of make-up, a silver clutch and silver heels to match.

What dress is you favourite? How would you style it?
