Mustard

Mustard collarless waffle shirt - Topshop Striped slouch trousers - Topshop Low block heels - Newlook Necklace - Vintage (my nans!) Bag - Thrifted 

Can you see a running trend here, now I've started at Topshop my wardrobe is beginning to become full of TS product.. not a bad thing I don't hope. I've really been reaching for shirts lately, it all shapes and guises, and this waffle texture shirt with back detail had me at hello. I usually steer clear of mustard as it always feels like such a here today gone tomorrow kind of trend but I feel like I can warrant some longevity out of this in my wardrobe. These newlook heels I've had for a while , I actually re brought them when my last ones fell apart - I can literally wear these all day and night!

What are you reaching for in you're AW15 wardrobe?

WIWT : Birds

Faux fur, hat, boots - Newlook
Shirt & skirt - Dorothy Perkins

Tights - Primark

Lipstick - Mac 'twig'

I always overlook Dorothy Perkins as a brand but I happened to pop into their sale in Southampton just before xmas and I was shocked by a) how cheap the sale was b) how good the stock in the sale was! I think this shirt was £15 and the skirt was around £10 for a navy PU skirt I think that this was a steal! I've really become a fan of shirts again lately, they really smarten up an outfit I feel. And as for the print on this shirt? well it was a no brainer.

Did you pick up any winter sale bargains?

MAC Lipstick Year of the snake collection, 'Cockney'

I've always been a fan of A good patterned shirt so when I saw this On Victoria's blog (Vipxo) a couple of weeks ago I knew I had to have it, and especially at £4.85 - its from an internationally seller so you have to wait a while but its a nice fit, my only complaints are it creases really easily and the button holes are really badly made and get caught on the buttons everytime you undo it - if you catch my drift BUT again, eBay bargains - you can't complain about the small print.. 

What eBay bargains have you found lately?

Gone Green...

Shirt - George @ Asda £14.99
Pleather Skirt - Asos £14.99
Tights - Primark £2.99 (Part of a multi pack)
Earrings - Primark £1
Pumps - Primark £12.99

A very Primark orientated outfit today - I say today, that's a lie, Luke took these for me before Christmas but they came out super dark and I've had no time to sort them until now.

ANYWAY

Who said you can't still work military through to the new year? I live and die in the skirt by the way - expect to see it rear its head much more!

Have a lovely week!

FF Fashion Finds: Zara s/s '12

So today after university I went for a wander around Southampton shops to look for some inspiration for up and coming photo shoots and to do a bit of window shopping really - I assumed it would cheer me up - how wrong could a skint student be! Primark is a treasure trove of beautiful affordable summer essentials, Riverisland does mute neons, pastels and lace down to a t and h&m has something for any night out, however I then ventured into Zara. Now, I don't usually shop in Zara mainly because of the price tags and secondly I usually only find things in the TRF range, however today I was so surprised and the gorgeous garments in the Zara Women's section! asymmetric skirts and dresses, mint green jeans, pleats, pastel colours - the whole store in Southampton is SO eye catching, so in true blogger spirit I grabbed my favourite items and tried them on - and took some photos for good measure. I apologize for the poor quality - I took these on my iphone (I think I'd get funny looks with a DSLR going off in the changing rooms) and I deliberately didn't put my face in these photos as you'd be horrified if you knew what my face/hair looked like this morning! So since I currently have no beauty products to review and no worth while OOTDs I thought I'd show you some 'fashion finds' and some of my favourite pieces in Zara right now :) ...

This was the first garment I picked up in Zara, very greek goddess esque and would be perfect for summer bbqs and formal occasions! Its actually got small 'spaghetti' straps which cross at the back but i chose to tuck them in, This dress was made of chiffon fabric and again was on trend with the asymmetric cut, Unfortunately the colour washed me out completely and didn't suit me atall, still a beautiful dress though! £29.99

These shorts match the shirt following and are hot pant style perfect for summer nights or holidays and really flattering on the legs, gorgeous pattern and colours. Retailing at £22.99.

This shirt featuring the same print as the shorts before is beautiful. Its silky to the touch and the fabric is really breathable (If that makes sense!) it does up right to the collar so its perfect if you like wearing necklaces under the collar of shirts like me, I love the colours and the print featuring hawaian flowers and waterlillys, it almost reminds me of the kind of design you see on kimonoes.It retails at £29.99

My favourite find by far, this beautiful baby pink asymmetric pleated dress, longer on the left hand side with a 'paper bag' band round the waist. You can't see here how flattering it is because I had to try it on with the shirt, but it fits beautifully. This retails for £29.99 .. Keep your eyes peeled, I might try and create a DIY version of this.

What do you think of Zara's s/s 12 collection? Do you own anything yet?
