Next Spring 2017 Press Day
6 November 2016
Marylebone, London, UK
The lovely people at Next invited me down to London on 02
November to check out some of the pieces that will be features in the Spring
2017 collection, from Womenswear right through to the stunning Homeware range. Spending
a day in London is exciting as it is, but being able to have a sneak peak and
the newest trends is one sweet cherry on top. As I walked into One Marylebone,
the wide variety of clothing and
accessories immediately gave me a ‘jungle’ feel, as the shelves were decorated
with leaves, vibrant green plants and wooden crates. The room was lively,
perfect for spring.
My Top Five Bonfire Night Essentials
3 November 2016
Northampton, UK
Bonfire night is full of magic. A night under a sea of
stars, warmed by a crackling fire while fireworks dance above – it’s fun for
all. Bonfire night varies for me each year, sometimes I love to be right in the
middle, surrounded by villagers and neighbours. Other years, I prefer to have
my close friends with me while we have our own little party in my garden.
Either way, it’s a night many in the UK look forward to because, well…
fireworks are awesome. As with any event, I always
have essentials. Can I find five major essentials from one store? Challenge
accepted.
Another Night on the Town
1 November 2016
Heaton, UK
Happy November! Yaaaay! Another OOTD! Or rather, OOTN. As I’ve mentioned in
like a hundred posts, I love to go out. When I first turned eighteen, I didn’t
go near nightclubs, I always thought they were tacky and a little bit
unsanitary. Although my opinion hasn’t changed, I still think going out is a
fun experience. Now that I’m twenty, I still pop into Mission or Prism when I
have the energy, but I also love going for casual drinks. Not all the clubs in
Leeds sell fun cocktails, usually it’s just shots for 50p and a random fizzy
drink ft. vodka. However, there are a few areas in Leeds that are amazing for
dressing up and sitting in a classy establishment, having cocktails that are
called Queen B and The Bazinga.
Back to School
19 October 2016
West Yorkshire, UK
I never had a rucksack in school. At one point I literally
just carried my ring binders around and hoped for the best – getting on the bus
was a nightmare. I recently bought this backpack from New Look through ASOS and
absolutely love it. They’re so easy to work with! Similarly, these awesome Vans
I picked up from TK Maxx (for only £6) are my new go-to shoe. I love the unique
pattern and I think they brighten up the look without taking all the attention
in the outfit.
For me, one of the most exciting things about autumn, or
fall, is the colours I get to wear. I picked up this thinly knitted jumper from
Matalan and the colour is a must for
autumn. I’m back in my denim jacket from my most-recent OOTD because… well it’s
an awesome jacket. I even wrapped the sleeves from my jumper around the jacket,
for that extra touch of auburn; I really think the two fabrics work well
together.

Stuck in Summer
16 October 2016
High Eldwick, UK
The greatest thing about living in Yorkshire is that every
time I go for a walk, the scenery looks different. I could pass the same
street, and something about it will be different. Usually, it’s the leaves that
are changing (my favourite part of the year) or new flowers in bloom. This
week, I took a stroll down one of the country lanes that runs behind me house,
and the entire pathway was green! It was like being back in summer! I couldn’t
believe how bright and alive the trees and bushes looked, even though the
street running parallel had trees that were almost bare – it's like this one area is stuck in summer.
Warm weather days like today are so easy to dress for. When
it comes to fashion in the autumn, I tend to wear a lot of khaki green and
black, and plenty of leggings. I can wear leggings for any occasion I
absolutely love them. I’ve found that some people absolutely loathe leggings,
where others may wear them as pants with a crop top. I’m somewhere in between. I often chose comfort
when it comes to leaving the house over style, because if I’m not comfortable I’m
not confident. This knitted khaki top from New Look is unbelievably comfortable
– I’m so lucky to have found it. It was one of those pieces hanging all alone
on a rail, and I decided to bring it home with me. Similarly, I bought this
denim jacket from F&F at Tesco last summer and have loved it ever since. It
was the last one available at the time and I thought I’d give Tesco a chance. This
jacket is way thicker than I expected, and actually quite warm; I barely wore
it during the summer because it was too heavy! This makes the coat ideal for
autumn days that are not quite hot and not quite cold.
Converse and rucksacks have been my go to regarding my style
recently, and if you follow me on Snapchat (where I document anything and
everything), you’ll know that I’ve been wearing Converse non-stop for the past
fortnight. They’re a shoe I’ve always known but taken for granted recently,
until I started wearing them again. I think the classic Chucks go perfectly
with jet black leggings and help complete this simple look.
