Polo Season
11 November 2016
Eldwick, UK
Autumn is an awesome time of year. It’s awesome for many reasons, and one of those reasons is being able to wear polo neck jumpers that are light grey without worrying about sweating through it. Was that too weird to reveal on my blog? Probably but I’m sticking with it. I’ve also really taken a liking to gilets or waistcoats, which I never really liked before.
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.

Girls' Night Out
11 October 2016
Leeds, UK
I love a good night out. Living so close to a city like
Leeds means the best bars are only a train ride away and I can spend all night
sipping cocktails that taste like bacon at Angelica Leeds, or stuffing my face
until 4am at Revolution on Call Lane. It’s safe to say, being on a night out
with friends is a lot of fun, but there’s something about girl bonding that’s
just the very best. Getting dressed up together, while listening to the cheesiest
music (obviously) and falling into hysterics over nothing. A night out just for
the girls is perfect, and I always want to look my best.
When it comes to a night out, I like to keep it classically
casual. One thing I always think is: “would I wear a leather jacket with this?”
If the answer is yes, the dress is a go. This awesome cold shoulder dress from
Boutique of Molly is an easy fave because the colour and design is perfectly
stylish but not over the top. Everyone wants to stand out a little bit, but I’m
not good with too much attention on me so looking cute is about as far as I’ll
go (or try). I’ve been loving the cold shoulder style all summer, and it was an
enormous trend from the beginning of April. So far, I’ve only worn this look in
tops, but I’m certainly on board with a straight dress design. Sadly, this
dress went out of stock a few days after I bought it – I know… devastating.
Amazingly, I already owned shoes that faultlessly matched
the tone of the dress (Next coming through for me once again)! I actually own
these wrap wedges in two colours, because I love them so much. The best feature
is definitely the comfort, I almost feel like I’m wearing flats when I have
them one because they’re so cushioned and the suede is incredibly soft – the perfect
night out shoe. I’m 100% not
one of those girls who’s being carried into a taxi with one shoe on her hand
and one half way down the street, so a pair that’s long-lasting and comfortable
are totally my go-to.
