I am by NO MEANS a fashion blogger. It’s a bloody miracle if I can leave
the house wearing something other than one of Chris’s t-shirts and a pair of
skinny jeans. THAT is about the extent of my fashion talent. So, when I do
manage to pull an outfit together, I feel fresh and fabulous and it’s time to
force a friend to take pictures of me looking wistfully into the distance for a
blog post.
I recently splurged on the Faux Shearling Biker Coat from Topshop. It’s
absolutely freezing in London, and although I will admit that I have a serious
coat-problem, I definitely needed something fleecy and warm and toasty to get
me to and from university without turning into an ice-cube. I’d been seeing
this coat eeeevvverywhere, so I actually stopped a girl to ask her where this
coat was from. Topshop was the answer, and it didn’t come bloody cheap.
However, I usually spend between £30 and £40 on a coat, so this was a well-earned,
once-a-year treat for me.
The jeans are also Topshop. The Joni jeans are the only style of jeans I
can wear. The fact that they’re properly high-waisted is amazing, and the
lengths are always perfect. I’ve got a slim-ish waist, but I was cursed with my
mum’s childbearing hips that make it nearly impossible to buy jeans that fit
well. When I saw that Topshop now had these Extreme Ripped Joni Jeans, I
snapped them up with my Christmas vouchers.
As for my boots, they are my absolute babies. When they first arrived, I
was really worried that I’d only be able to wear them on my annual touristy
visit to CyberDog in Camden. They’re certainly very gothic and chunky, but I
think that I manage to get away with them. They add about 4 inches onto my
height, making me feel like I am actually Gigi Hadid, and I think I look a lot
slimmer with a few added cms to my legs. These babies are from ROMWE, a website
based in China (I think) and one that I was very wary about ordering from
because I was so worried about sizing and quality. All was well in the world,
though, and these popped through my door about 3 weeks after ordering, and cost
about £45.
I really want to aim to
do more OOTD posts. I follow such a lot of girly-girl bloggers so I sometimes
feel a bit out of place in the whole fashion + beauty blogger community. Having
said that, I’m much happier now with my sense of style and who I am than I was
a couple of years ago, so watch this space!
Lots of love,

I absolutely love this jacket, it's beautiful! It's freezing up here in Edinburgh too, so I'm layering up like mad to stay cosy! I gotta love that opening paragraph, I've recently been leaving the house in joggers and Pusheen t-shirts because jeans just seem like too much! I work full time night shift so I've been very lazy on the fashion front haha! xx
