First Levi's

TOP - Forever 21 / SHORTS - Levi's (via Urban Outfitters) / SHOES - River Island / BAG - H&M

I decided to try on a bunch of high waisted denim shorts in Urban Outfitters last night for the first time - for a long while I always thought that they wouldn't fit me right. I couldn't believe my luck when I found these in the sale over at the Spitalfields store and knew it was meant to be (cringe!). Ever had that wonderful feeling?! Tonight I'm going out for my friend's birthday and she's not best pleased about turning 22 but anyone who knows her well will know that she'll soon forget about it once she's had a drink down her! :)

Tux

TUXEDO JACKET - Zara (alternative here, nice plus-size version here) / DIY LONG-LINE VEST (originally a mens t-shirt) / DISCO PANTS - American Apparel / HEELS - Zara

I will forever thank my friend NT for making me keep this tuxedo jacket. At the time of purchase I wasn't initially sure about whether I could pull it off properly or feel comfortable wearing it but now I can't seem to get it off. This outfit was one of my options for the Azealia Banks gig I went to last week but I quickly came to my senses and realised that white jacket + heels is a complete no-no for a sweaty gig. I'll show what I actually wore in my next post! :)

Metallic Skirt

SHIRT - River Island / SKIRT - New Look / BOOTS - Bershka

These boots will probably not be leaving my feet for a while - I have a habit of wearing new shoes to complete exhaustion until the next pair entrap me. Please tell me that I'm not the only one...? :)

Simply Red

SHIRT - Forever 21 / LEATHER TROUSERS - Miss Selfridge (alternative here) / BOOTS - Bershka

I've just started my first year of my new course at university and they haven't held back with the workload. It's all very exciting and slightly overwhelming at the same time but i'm secretly glad to be busy again! :) I tested my new boots on Monday and although hard to walk in at first, they are actually one of the most comfortable pair I own. During the autumn and winter months, my footwear usually consists of shoes in all kinds of boot form.

Autumn Layering

SCARF/WRAP - New Look / SHIRT - Forever 21 / SHORTS - Topshop / BOOTS - Burberry Prorsum 

The sun beaming through my window yesterday morning was incredibly deceiving as you'll know if you're in London at the moment. Autumn is definitely here and I love it! I love being able to mix leather with lighter chiffon materials and for the days I don't want to wear a jacket or coat, I experiment with layering. This poncho-style wrap also doubles up as a huge scarf and i've also been using it as a small blanket. 

Yesterday was enrolment day at my new university and i'm getting really anxious about starting my new course. My fresher's week doesn't start until Sunday but I'm trying to avoid going out too much! My hangover recovery time is not what it used to be! :)

Leopard Lace

TUXEDO JACKET - Zara (old but I LOVE this one) / LACE SHIRT - H&M (similar here) / SKIRT - American Apparel (similar here and here) / SHOE BOOTS - Topshop

I like to think that I'm a super organised person but the reality never seems to quite match up. Today was the first time in a while that I actually took the time to plan my outfit for a night out and take pictures for my blog. Either I take the pictures on my laptop webcam or rope my poor friends into taking pictures for me when we're out (wine-induced photo taking is never advised to be honest). I'm just about to leave for my cousin's birthday - we're going for a drinks in a bar with a very 'sweaty' basement club attached! Hope you all have a great weekend :)

Black & White

DRESS (actually a Jacket) - Topshop / BLAZER - Zara (similar here and here)/ BELT - Primark

Since we haven't had much of a summer in London, I've been able to wear a lot of my autumn and winter clothes. I bought this blazer on a HUGE whim last year and to be honest I wasn't entirely sure what I would wear it with. I even considered taking it back but thank goodness for my very persuasive friend who told me that I would instantly regret it! Last weekend I went out for dinner for my friend's birthday and I somehow managed to get roped into going out until 5am. I'm definitely growing too old for this clubbing malarky because I didn't recover until a few days later. Too old in fact that i'm doing it all over again tonight! Hope you all are having a great weekend so far :)
