The Tartan Skirt

I have been eyeing up a few tartan skirts for quite a while but never found the right one. That is until I got this one from Modekungen. It is quite short so I would probably not wear it out without black tights but I still love it.


In this outfit, I paired the skirt with a plain black vest top, black cardigan and small black bag. I got the bag from Her Fashion Box a few months ago and it is perfect for taking out as it is just big enough for a phone, lipstick and some money.


I also wore my Shu Sole 6" cleated platforms to go out but if you aren't brave enough for those or don't want to be wearing them for a long period during the day, I also found black lace up boots which look nice too.

Festive Lush Haul

Lush is one of my favourite places to shop, especially at this time of year when the Christmas range is out! I went there last week and picked up a few things.


First is the 'candy mountain' bubble bar. It is so cute and smells lovely - quite sweet and like vanilla.  You crumble some of it under running water and it makes loads of bubbles as well as turning your bath a pale pink shimmery colour.


I also picked up another bubble bar, the 'holly golightly' one. You use this in the same way as candy mountain although this one does get you covered in glitter just by touching it! It smells quite spicy which makes it really warming and festive plus it makes the bath water an amazing turquoise colour with silver sparkles throughout.


Another thing I got is the 'dashing Santa' bath bomb which gets its name from the fact that it fizzes around your bath, turning the water red as it goes. I love the smell of it, it is like oranges and other citrus fruits but I mainly bought it because it was shaped like Santa and what could be more Christmassy than that!


Finally was the 'golden wonder' bath bomb. This one starts off turning the water a yellowy colour but it is bright blue inside so it ends up leaving the water that colour instead which is so pretty. It also leaves cute little stars in the water too! It has a lovely citrus-y scent, similar to 'dashing Santa'.


That's all I got on my most recent trip to Lush but I'm sure I will be getting more things very soon!

Miss Patina

I absolutely love two-pieces, especially when they are as nice and well made as this one from Miss Patina*!


I received the Tame Fox skirt and top in this gorgeous navy blue colour. (It isn't as bright as it shows in this photo). I love the fact that you can either wear the skirt and top together or separately in another outfit. This outfit would also look nice without tights but it was about 0 degrees when these photos were taken so I decided it would be best to keep them on so I didn't totally freeze!



The cute little fox embroidery on the skirt and collar adds such a cute touch!


I have worn this two piece multiple times since I got it and have received compliments on it every time. Depending what you pair it with it can also be both a summer and winter outfit which is perfect.

Statement Jeans

The weather here has been raining non stop which means I haven't had the chance to take many photos so it's just a little outfit post today!


I have worn these Topshop Joni jeans so much since I got them, they are so easy to dress up or down and so comfy. Today I wore them with a plain black vest top and waterfall cardigan.


 I also added a statement silver necklace and my new boots which I love. I'm quite tall so always used to hate wearing heels but I love ones like these now!

Monochrome

It's starting to get colder in England now that summer is officially over so I figured it was time to stock up on Autumn/Winter clothes.  I went and did a little shopping and picked up a new oversized coat which I adore.


I also picked up this white patterned shirt with hearts on which is so cute. Full price it was only around £14 but I had a 25% off voucher too, so for only £10.50 it was too hard to resist.



Paired with black skinny's, boots and a backpack, I think this outfit will be perfect for Autumn/Winter.
