Printed clutch/portfolio bag - Miss Selfridge (similar here)// Shirt -Zara (similar -1,2,3,4)// Hat - Tk Maxx (similar here)// Boots- Miss Selfridge (similar 1,2,3)// Leggings - Primark// Scarf - Alexander Mcqueen 

I kind of feel like a cowgirl in this outfit but a fashionable cowgirl nonetheless :). 

Cheetah and leopard print in particular have been very popular for a long time now (I challenge you to go in to Zara and NOT come across something covered in the print). Currently Zebra print is also gaining popularity (check out this coat which was featured in Kenzas.se blog, it's amazing !!), However  I've never been drawn to something with cow print on before as its quite rare in high street stores, but i completely fell in love when I saw this bag, the print and the dark brown leather (Faux i'm guessing as its from Miss Selfridge) go together perfectly. I think unfortunately It was a one off find as iv'e searched online for other nice cow print bags to link you too but either they are real cow skin (Yuk) and ridiculously expensive or extremely tacky. 

I adore these fedora style hats, I feel that they pretty much suit anyone although they are daunting at first. When I saw Millie Mackintosh (Made in Chelsea) sporting them in all different colours I thought they looked great but i'd never be able to pull one off. It took me about 4 months to actually try one on, whilst on a girls trip to London because we were messing about in the hat section of Topshop. After checking it out in the mirror a hundred times, I still didn't get one until I went to TKMaxx with my mum and she insisted i get it, now i'm in love with it and wear it a lot,especially when i'm having a bad hair day.

I don't know if you've noticed but I usually wear a plain black vest top under most of my tops, jumpers, shirts etc. This is simply because I absolutely hate my thighs, and always try to have them covered (Yes I know it's stupid but iv'e always had a complex about them).

 I just thought i'd fill you in as you will be seeing a lot more of the black vest top. 

OOTD - Roses

What I wore to the park - 

Jumper - Romwe// Studded Ankle boots - H&M (similar here)//Bag- Mulberry Mitzy tote // Scarf- Zara (previous post)// Coat - She inside (previous post) Skirt - River Island

Yes I know firstly i'm wearing the scarf again, I think i need to lock it away for a while. I love this jumper from Romwe it was originally white like the picture below, but I made my first washing machine faux pas by putting it in with black leggings and it turned grey :( Boooo !!! It does however  look quite nice in grey, so i'm actually quite proud of my creation now (at first I was not a happy bunny !!).

Original Romwe Jumper 

I have ordered the unique irregular jumper again anyway as it has gone on sale from £37 to £19 (you can get an extra 20% off when you sign up too). The skirt is just a plain black skater skirt from River island, definitely a staple basic item that can be paired with many items, i'll do a lookbook soon on different ways to style the skirt.  

OOTD - Tartan

Just a casual outfit today for shopping, I've worn these shoes on purpose so I can't shop for too long as they hurt after a while (great money saving strategy :p)

Top - (differnet colour white sold out) Topshop// Leggings -Primark// Boots- Chockers// Bag -Mulberry Mitzy hobo// Scarf-  H and M (Similar here)// Coat - Sheinside

The oversize basic top from Topshop is so comfy definitely worth £18, it comes in light grey, dark grey, aubergine and black. I've seen a lot of cheaper copies in places such as primark but the quality is just not the same. I always think there's no point in buying something cheaper if you'll have to keep repurchasing it every time it gets damaged!! 

The tartan scarf was from H and M, it was huge and too overbearing at first when I tried it on so I cut it in half and give one part too a friend. Iv'e been searching for a blue/green tartan scarf but I cant find a nice one anywhere (If anyone knows where to get one leave it in the comments please). 

I had a little history lesson from a taxi driver about tartan, apparently the red tartan was banned in Scotland in the 1700s so to get away with wearing it still they started dyeing them different colours. Random information I know but it was something that stuck in my head (I guess if that taxi driver was my history teacher i'd have gotten better marks in my exams haha).

OOTD - Cobalt

Just a casual outfit, i'm going to the cinema today to see The Croods :) (yes I know i'm a huge child) !!

Scarf - Zara (similar here)// T-shirt - Topshop (similar here)// Leggings - Topshop// Boots - Fenwicks (similar here)// Coat - She Inside 

I'm in love with this scarf as I said in my previous post it's all about the blue this month. I actually didn't intend to buy it, I was ordering a few items from the Zara website and in order to get free delivery it had to be over £50 so I just added it without thinking, best accidental purchase I've ever made !!

So many people (mainly bloggers) have this coat now but I couldn't help myself, it's a copy of a Zara coat which I got from 'Sheinside.com' an online store based in China so it took a month for the coat to come :(. It was definitely worth the wait though it's very warm, lightweight and the sleeves look like real leather although they are PU.
