Obsession of the Day

Hi everyone,


So sorry that I have been rubbish with new posts recently... it's that time of year where deadlines and revision are upon all us students so if you can bear with me for the next few weeks, I will then be free for 4 months! Cannot actually wait!


So recently I have been loving the tailored blazer, but have specifically been looking for my perfect white one... it has been a long hunt but I think I have finally found it...

This perfectly tailored piece comes courtesy of H&M. I'm a massive fan of H&M blazers and already own a tailored black one and a more loose-fitting peach one. This white one needs to be added to my collection. It is perfect for spring/summer thrown over a silky vest top and dark denim jeans with either sandals or nude heels. Even better is the bargain price... this beauty is only £24.99. For those of you who prefer a bit of colour it is also available in a nude/pink colour. It is part of the H&M Conscious Collection so you're even doing your bit for the environment! I'm sold and going to pick mine up now! You can get yours here!

Hope you've had a lovely week and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Obsession of the Day - New Look

Hi everyone,

This morning I have been looking at New Look's website and realising how many things I want!! I can't actually narrow it down for today's post so here are my picks of the site!

This waistcoat style blouse is the perfect nude colour and would look amazing with black skinny jeans and flats for a smart/casual look. It's £22.99 and you can buy it here

These gorgeous tailored shorts are perfect for spring/summer. Smarten them up for a formal occassion with a white sheer shirt and nude heels or make them more day-friendly with sandals and a white t-shirt. They're £17.99 and you can get them here

This seemingly casual skirt has an on-fashion edge with the dipped back making it the perfect day to night skirt. In the day I would pair this with a grey vest and sandals but come night would dress it up worn high waisted with a crop top and wedges. It's £16.99 and can be found here

I like to brighten up my wardrobe in summer with a pair of coloured sandals. These coral ones are perfect as although they are colourful they will go with black, brown and white meaning that they will get a lot of wear. I think they will also look amazing with tanned (and nicely pedicured) feet! They are £22.99 and you can grab them here

Remember those Topshop studded loafers that everyone and their mother wanted a few months back? Here's New Look's very similar (and definitely cheaper) version. I think they would look great with almost everything but especially a jeans, shirt and blazer. These are a reasonable £17.99 and can be bought here

These are a gorgeous alternative in a biscuit brown colour with a snaffle detail. They would look perfect with jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses too! They are also £17.99 and you can get them here

 

This gorgeous clutch looks far more expensive than the £14.99 it costs. It is so versatile, it can be worn with or without the chain and would look great with any outfit for evening glamour. I'm in love! You can buy this here

For more of a pop of colour this mint green snake print clutch is perfect. I would wear this with a simple shirt and leggings look to give a hint of colour. It is £12.99 and you can buy it here

For your new everyday handbag look no further. This beige snakeskin print shopping bag is classic with hints of fashion like the double zip at the front. It would go with everything and for £17.99 it's a bargain. Buy it here

These earrings look like a Topshop offering however they are only £4.99 and at the moment all jewellery and hair accessories are on a Buy one get one free offer! What more excuse do you need? You can buy these here

So there you have it! A massive bumper edition of my favourite things at New Look. What do you think? Which one's your favourite?

Have a great day and I will doubtless see you tomorrow!

Obsession of the Day

Hello again,

God sometimes I wish I had a limitless supply of money! Don't get me wrong I love Primark but sometimes a girl wants to splurge a bit. Today is one of those days and especially because whilst scouring Asos.com I came across this stunner...

This beautiful playsuit is by Ted Baker and is part of their concession on asos.com, although I am sure it can be found on their website and in their shops too. Asos does however give the added bonus of the Saver delivery (free thank you very much). What is not to love about this? Number one I will always have a penchant for playsuits, I love the whole idea and the effortlessness of them. This particular one seems incredibly versatile; it's high neck and tailored black shorts could be work appropriate (depending on where you work) and are definitely night out worthy. I think that these classic shapes would also see you through seasons and seasons. I also love the chiffon arms which give the tailored look a feminine edge but still offer cover if your arms aren't as toned as you might like. I think this is such a winner item and I would be putting it in my basket straight away if it wasn't for the £149 price tag. Don't get me wrong I would definitely pay that if I had the budget for it but unfortunately not at the moment! Guess I will be searching ebay for a reduced price in the weeks to come!

If you are lucky enough to have the funds you can buy this gorgeous piece here!

Obsession of the Day

Hello again,

I didn't mention in the previous post that I am in fact a university student studying English Literature. Whilst I very much enjoy the university experience it unfortunately has resulted in a lack of funds for shopping. I therefore find much of my time spent browsing online stores, yearning for that one item of clothing or beauty product that will 'make' my wardrobe complete. At least for a day or two. I have decided to document these sought after items in a regular post I will call 'Obsession of the Day'. Of course I may not post these absolutely everyday but I would say that based on my dedicated commitment to trawling the internet I would expect to see these on a regular basis! With that being said...

These New Look trousers are amazing! I am in love with the tailored look. I also love a good neutral piece as I feel they are so much more versatile to wear - this dove grey is particularly lovely as it will go beautifully with the pastel colours which are sure to make an appearance in spring/summer. I am also a complete convert to high waisted anything. I do not own anything low rise any more as high waisted is so much more flattering on my (and most women with curves) figure. I would personally wear these beauties with a sheer white shirt and heels for a classy meal and drinks look or with a plain white t-shirt and loafers for a day shopping or going to uni. I also think they would look perfect (as do most things in my opinion) paired with a leather jacket to combat the chilly weather. I am absolutely in love. For those of you who are not a student these would be so perfect for work with a shirt, blazer and heels or pumps. I literally cannot fault them. What makes them even better is their amazing price tag of £14.99. New Look really have astounded me recently with some great clothes for such reasonable prices. I will definitely be flexing my student loan to get these as they seem like they will be a piece which I could get so much wear out of for so many different occassions!

If like me you are convinced, you can buy them here
