Getting My Look With Warehouse

I’m really excited to have teamed up with Warehouse to bring you this get the look post, featuring their winter coats. I’ve owned and bought quite a few pieces from Warehouse in my time and I think it’s a fantastic high street store, so I couldn’t be happier to do a get the look post like this. I’ve selected three outfits of mine from Autumn/Winter and I’ve chosen pieces from the Warehouse website so you can re-create the looks! Some of them are pretty identical, while others only vary slightly. So if there were some outfits of mine you loved, now is the time to shop them and copy my look fellow fashion bloggers! Which one do you like the most? The outfit above is one of my favourites! I love a faux fur collar on my coats and keeping it simple with neutrals is key, so for this inspired outfit, I started with their beige faux fur collar coat which looks pretty similar to mine. I then chose this cream jumper to layer underneath for warmth and opted for the black skinny jeans to create my ensemble. Then for the accessories, I chose these gold rings and finished it off with some Jimmy Choo Melba boots and then a Mulberry Lily in Oak.

Burgundy Coated Jeans, Embellised In The Rain

(Jeans – Similar, Coat – Exact, Jumper – Similar, Shoes – Similar, Bag – Similar) I wore this outfit a couple of weekends ago because according to my weather report, it was supposed to be sunny without any rain. Typically I opted for my suede boots and bag and within 10 minutes of being out, it poured down… Gotta love England, lol. Luckily we found a really big umbrella outside a restaurant to take shelter under and I of course took my waterproof carry bag to put my Balenciaga Mini City in Black Suede in, to keep it from getting damaged! I did also have an umbrella as I do always go out prepared! I hadn’t worn these Paige Edgemont Coated Skinny Jeans in Aged Woodberry in a while, not since the last time I wore them on my blog actually, so I thought it was about time that I brought them out again! I really do love the colour of them and the zipper details at the hips, they are so pretty. I like the idea of pairing burgundy with grey at the moment which is why I opted for my Urban Outfitter Embellished Jumper and then chose my Warehouse Faux Fur Collar Grey Coat to layer over the top. Two different shades of grey and some embellishment to keep it from looking too dull! Finally, I wore my KG by Kurt Geiger Winona Boots to finish everything off. I’m sure you know by now just how much I love these boots! I’ve worn them countless times on the blog and they were probably my best investment in terms…

Bundled Up In My Parka Coat

(Coat – Exact ON SALE, Jeans – Similar, Jumper – Similar, Scarf – Similar, Shoes – Exact ON SALE) I have been wanting the perfect parka coat for months, but I hadn’t been able to find one that I thought was just right. I needed a parka coat that was really warm and comfortable, but not too bulky at the same time. I found this gorgeous one by Warehouse when I was looking on ASOS and it’s absolutely perfect! The colour is just right for winter, it has a faux fur and quilted lining, a faux fur hood trim, lots of pockets and drawstrings at the waist so you don’t have to look too boxy. It’s definitely a great coat and it’s actually on sale right now on ASOS, so you can get a great deal on it if you want it (link under main image). It does run quite big though. I took a size UK 6 in it, when I’m usually an 8. The reason for this was because they had sold out of the 8 and I was hoping the size down would work, thankfully it did. I decided to pair my new parka coat with my Koral Los Angeles Merlot skinny jeans and a Topshop leopard print scarf. I love the colour of khaki with burgundy and I think the leopard just adds a little element of fun to the overall outfit. To keep things neutral though, I wore my Zara brown cable knit jumper and my ASH Bowie wedge trainers in Stone. It’s definitely a casual outfit, but it’s really comfortable and it kept the…

The Grey Faux Fur Collar Coat

(Coat – Exact, Leggings – Similar, T-Shirt – Exact, Boots – Similar, Bag – Exact) Unfortunately I’m not feeling very well again, I think I’m coming down with something. I hate getting sick around Christmas time as the past 3 years in a row, if it wasn’t me who was sick, it was the rest of my family, so it’s kind of put a dampener on the day. I’m hoping that none of us will be sick this Christmas since I’m getting into the festive spirit! I’m really enjoying all of the decorations though, there are some beautiful ones that are around. I will be sharing those in a post with you soon too! I think that will be next week as I have a few ideas for posts this week already. Anyway, I wore this outfit two weekends ago when I went out to lunch in town with my boyfriend. I got to choose this gorgeous Warehouse Faux Fur Collar Grey Coat from Zalando to style in an outfit. The funny thing was I had been looking at this coat on the Warehouse website for some time as I loved it, so I was incredibly excited to be able to style it. Since the coat is quite a strong grey, I wanted to style it with black and lighter grey, to keep a monochromatic look, so I wore my Denimocracy Knitted Leggings in Black with my Duo Boots (Laurel Boots in Black Suede) and a Topshop Light Grey T-Shirt. Since I don’t think it’s possible for me to be without some colour though, I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Mini…

New Autumn Purchases – Part 1

Over the past few months I have been buying a lot of new things for Autumn and Winter. I have picked up quite a few things in sale at places, as well as on eBay and with discount codes, so that always makes me feel better about getting new clothes and accessories. I do have quite a few pieces, which is why I am splitting this post in two. Above is my beloved Topshop red heart polka dot style shirt. I had been in love with this shirt for ages, but it had sold out completely online and I couldn’t find it anywhere else. It was pure luck that I found it in the Selfridges Topshop department on Wednesday when I was in London, so I snapped it up before I could even think about it. I was so excited to finally find it! It’s so pretty, it reminds me a lot of the deeper burgundy shirt with bigger hearts from the Burberry collection, but I find this one is a little more girly. It’s since come back in stock online and you can purchase it here if you love it too. It’s a very popular shirt! These gorgeous Paige Crown Jewels jeans are what I picked up on eBay for only £30! They are brand new with tags and my size, so I couldn’t believe what a bargain I had found. I originally saw these jeans at the press day earlier this year and thought the print was really interesting and cool. I think they will definitely make a statement!

Keeping Myself In Check

(Leggings – Similar, Boots – Exact, Bag – Similar, Cardigan – Exact, Watch – Exact, Top – Similar) I know you have all been waiting to see how I styled my Carvela Kurt Geiger Tara Boots in Red Suede since I posted about them last week. Finally, here is the outfit! I wore this look when I was out and about in town last weekend. I’m sure you can tell that it was incredibly windy based on my hair in these photos, ha ha. It was literally flying all over the place! I decided to pair my Tara boots with my Warehouse Black Leggings as they are incredibly comfortable and made of thicker cotton to keep me warm. I decided to wear leggings over jeans purely because they fit slimmer at the ankles and fit better around the boots. To keep with the burgundy theme (naturally) I went with my Zara Linen Top and my Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mab in Port. I think both of these pieces really tie the look together with the boots and they are all pretty similar shades. I then threw on my Warehouse Dogtooth Lumberjack Cardigan as I wanted some more black and grey to break up the colour palette. I’ve become really fond of this cardigan as it’s so warm and comfortable! For my accessories, I went with my Michael Kors Slim Runway Watch in Silver and then that brings me to the bracelet! I got to choose this from the lovely ladies at Bibi Bijoux and I absolutely love it! I have worn it three times already as it’s actually incredibly comfortable and…

Camo, Check, Burgundy & Black

(Jeans – Exact, Cardigan – Exact, Scarf – Similar, Bag – Exact, Boots – Similar) It was my dads birthday yesterday, so my boyfriend, my brother and I met my dad for lunch in town. We all had a meal at Wagamama’s (I know, one of my usual’s, lol) and then we went for ice cream/dessert at my favourite Italian ice cream shop. It was a really nice day out and luckily it didn’t rain as today it’s totally poured down all day! Anyway, this is the outfit that I wore for the day and I really liked being able to mix textures and prints. I don’t usually like to mix prints that are contrasting, but I thought I would change things and mix things up a little bit! I wore my new Paige Edgemont skinny jeans in Aged Woodberry, which I got sent from the brand last week and absolutely love. You know I am addicted to burgundy skinny jeans and these have hip zippers as well as a coating over them to give them the waxed look, combined with one of my favourite Paige fits, I couldn’t love these anymore than I do! I love them! I paired them with a simple white tank top from H&M and then wore my new Warehouse black and grey checked cardigan over the top for extra warmth and layering. I love the combination of the burgundy, black and white as you know, but I thought the grey would be a nice touch to add in there too. Just to add more contrast, I layered my Zara camo print scarf over the…

The Red Plaid Shirt With Leggings

(Shirt – Exact, Leggings – Similar, Boots – Exact, Watch – Exact, Bracelets – Similar) Sorry for the delay in posting this look! I had planned on posting is last weekend, but never got around to it. Sometimes I just love the simplicity of a statement shirt with simple leggings and boots and accessories to spruce it up, like this outfit. I’m wearing my Zara Red Plaid Shirt, my Warehouse Black Leggings, my KG by Kurt Geiger Winona Booties, an ASOS Mustache Watch and Bracelets from Topshop and ASOS. Did you all have a nice weekend? I was also wondering, do any of you watch the TV shows Stella or Got To Dance? I’ve always loved Stella and I’m really into Got To Dance at the moment! But anyway, aside from that, what do you think of this outfit?
