YRU // LASSO WESTERN ANKLE BOOTS

 

Shirt: H&M | Jeans: Topshop | Watch: Skagen | Coat: M&S | Boots: YRU via ASOS 

-----------------------------------------------

I can't tell you how long I've been after Western-style boots like these! I think I say that for pretty much every new purchase, but seriously though, this has been a committed and long-running obsession of mine. A couple of years ago, I started noticing more and more street-style shots pop up featuring pointed-toe boots with silver hardware and the typical western-style heel, and they really stopped me in my tracks. I remember posting a picture of the Acne Pistol boots on my Instagram rather wistfully, but at £350....a girl's gotta pay her rent. I'd been on the lookout for the perfect pair ever since, but, I'm not gonna lie, I'm super picky when it comes to shoes, and I didn't quite fall head over heels with anything I saw. Then, more than 6 months ago, I saw these babies, by the brand YRU, on the ASOS website, and just knew that they were THE ONES. Typically, they were out of stock for months and months, but I kept my little hawk eye on them, and they finally came back in stock, and even better, in the sale. 

When they arrived, though, my heart sunk slightly because they were incredibly tight, almost to the point that I couldn't fit them on my feet, but after a couple of weeks of wearing them in, they were so so comfy, and have now really moulded themselves to the shape of my foot, which really is a testament to the great quality of the leather. They are so wearable and adaptable, but still have the power to make any boring outfit that little bit more special!

ORANGE BODYCON

Dress: Missguided | Shirt: Abercrombie & Fitch | Sandals: Zara | Bag: H&M | Necklace: Bijou Brigitte 

------------------------------------

The sun finally graced us with its presence this past weekend - hallelujah! I thought it was the right time to whip out this cute orange bodycon dress from Missguided, although I decided to wear my Abercrombie shirt over it in anticipation of a very typically-English weather change - plus, I also really love the contrast in the colour palette and aesthetic. I topped it all off with my beaded sandals, fringed bag (what's new?) and statement necklace, which I felt was an effective accessory to the plain dress. I'll be experimenting with other ways to style this piece in the next few weeks; it's such a great  - and inexpensive - staple piece upon which a gorgeous outfit can be built upon!

CRACKLE

I've been loving the marble/crackle print trend for ages, and although the high-street and sites like ASOS are teeming with pieces like this, I could never find one that didn't look too busy. I've been on the hunt for a simple and understated blouse like this one, and finally found what I was after on SheInside for an incredible price as usual! 

I haven't worn a skirt in aaaages, so I thought I'd brave the cold for once, and opted for my super comfortable and versatile skater skirt from H&M, that had been lying in my wardrobe unused for way too long. I completed the look with my wide-brimmed/fedora hat (bad idea on a windy day guys, just sayin') and my chunky maroon knit cardigan!

BRICK LANE VINTAGE

I ventured into Brick Lane Market for the first time only a couple of weeks ago. I literally can't believe that I've left it until now to go; it's my new favourite place in London, for sure. It's absolutely buzzing with people, incredible food, creative stalls and amazing vintage pieces. I found the cutest little stall teeming with these oversized vintage shirts, and it took me ages to pick one because I loved most of them. Finally, I decided to go for a safer option that I felt was more wearable and versatile. Even though it's black, grey and white, the crazy pattern can spice up any outfit, and I added a pop of colour with my oxblood Dr. Martens.

FLUFFY BOOTS

I'm gradually straying away from my grey and black jumper choices; slowly but surely. I've always adored these chunky aran cable knit jumpers, and I found this cute cardigan-style one in Greenwich Market for only £10. I'm not gonna lie; it's super itchy, but I love it so much that I desperately try and ignore it for the sake of a cute outfit.

I teamed it up with one of my favourite shirts - not only do I love the print and the colour, but I also think that the gold collar tips are a lovely touch. 

Finally, a new addition to my shoe collection; these cute fluffy boots (with a slight heel) given to me by my boyfriend's mum. I think they have the ability to make any outfit that slight bit more feminine, as well as elongating the leg, and of course adding a really Wintery feel to the general aesthetic of the look.

| REGALROSE |

 YAAAAAY! 

My REGALROSE necklace arrived yesterday! I am in lurve!

I first saw this necklace whilst watching Made in Chelsea a few weeks back. For those of you who don't watch it, one of the main members of the cast, Lucy Watson, was wearing it in a recent episode, and I was immediately drawn to it! It's definitely my kind of thing - slightly grungy but also really pretty and individual. I quickly realised that this brand was gaining quite a bit of traction in the blogosphere, and since my birthday's coming up in a couple of days (I seem to be justifying all my purchases with that line recently - oops!) I had to get it! 

It came in this cute little canvas bag :) 

This particular necklace is called the Apogee. Gunmetal and Crystal Chain Choker, and I decided to get it in matte silver, as I figured that it would be the most compatible with my wardrobe, and it's quite understated, which is exactly what I was after! 

They have a huge range of amazing jewellery and accessories, and some of their rings are to dieeee for! I really want to get my hands on some of those soon! Check out their stuff below:

REGALROSE

I had to pop out for a sec, so I teamed my choker up with a simple outfit - all black, what's new! I tried to break it up a bit with my oversized flannel shirt, and I also just realised that my t-shirt actually looks like a deep purple colour in the light. Hmmm..

| MOM JEANS |

As promised, here's my post featuring my brand new Levi's mom jeans, which I got in the Motel Rocks sample sale, after a two day internship helping out! I can't believe it's taken me this long to get myself a pair - they are literally the most comfortable things in the world, and they fit perfectly, which is a rarity when jeans and my bum are concerned! 

In light of the World Cup descending upon us in the next couple of weeks, I decided to get myself this cute crop top from Romwe - bagged it for only £6.00 after a discount!

Check it out HERE!
