The Kooples | Bicester Village

Asos Faux Fur Coat | Zara Top | H&M Leather Trousers | Topshop Ankle Boots | Whistles Bag

The Kooples Jeans | The Kooples Skirt Suit | River Island Boots 

Firstly, if you get chance to go to Bicester Village (designer shopping outlet) before Christmas then make sure you make the most of it! Not only are you able to buy high end designer labels at half the price, (admittedly it may be last season's stock but it's still just as good) there are great added Christmas discounts available in most of the stores. My boyfriend and I ended up going two Sunday's in a row (due to his incapability to buy the correct size in a coat he picked up) but fortunately the second trip wasn't wasted with a few extra bargains coming home with us. 

The reason for this post is to show you a pair of jeans my boyfriend treated me to from The Kooples, a brand I have always loved for it's gorgeous tailoring - such as this beautiful studded skirt suit, something I definitely regretted not buying - and it's chic unisex feel. However, due to it's expensive price tag, it's not somewhere I can afford to shop regularly. Being able to shop brands such as The Kooples at places like Bicester Village enables you to pick up dream pieces at a great price! 

After recently buying a pair of lace up pointed ankle boots from River Island, I wanted some biker style jeans to team them with. I found the perfect pair with an extra 20% off the already discounted price! Definitely a staple for my winter wardrobe.

Autumn Wishlist

The cooler air and darker nights are setting in, yep it's beginning to look (and feel) a lot like autumn. New season trends are filling the high street and the temptation for a new autumn wardrobe is hard to resist. But, currently being unemployed (thankfully this is soon to end as I've managed to get myself a part time job at River Island) means that my autumn wardrobe will remain in the form of a wishlist for a little while longer yet. 

Here are a FEW of my favourite pieces for this season (the real list is never ending)...

Black Staples

Culottes - H&M

Top - Zara 

Leather Jacket - Mango 

Boots - H&M

Clutch Bag - Whistles 

Culottes are a staple in my wardrobe and I love layering up black on black, so this outfit is probably one of my favourites. These culottes from H&M are great, the tailored fit means they are ideal for dressing up but are also relaxed enough to dress down. I wore them with my BARGAIN leather jacket from Mango, the style is very similar to one I had my eye on from Whistles however was a fraction of the price. Snakeskin will forever be my favourite print, so there's no surprise that I fell in love with these boots - H&M is very hit and miss but I can't get enough of it lately.

Winter Cape

Cape - Zara
Jumper - Primark 

Leather Trousers - H&M

Boots - Kurt Geiger 

Clutch Bag - Whistles 

After being home for two weeks I have finally found the time to blog - work experience and christmas shopping had taken over...

 I bought this cape in London, a supposed Christmas present, however I couldn't resist wearing it for the day. Capes often lack structure, however the thick fabric enables the cape to hold its shape perfectly. I have not taken my thigh high boots off since winter began - I still love them just as much as I did when I bought them last christmas. They are THE comfiest shoes I own and can be worn with almost anything - definitely worth the investment. To break up my usual 'black on black' ensemble, I used my powder blue Whistles clutch. And if I could, I would have one in every colour.

Autumn '14 Wishlist

One of the worst things about living in the city is resisting the urge to shop 24/7. So moving back to Nottingham after a long summer you can just imagine how hard it is to ignore how close the shops are. However with currently no money I am left lusting after everything I see...

To make myself feel better I have put together a list of my Autumn favourites that I hope will be mine by the end of the season (or will most definitely end up on my Christmas list)
