The Last Day Of The Holidays OOTD

Hi guys!

It's the last day of the holidays for me ( I go back to work on Monday) so I thought I'd do a post to kind of cheer me up a little bit lol.

I managed to get a few pics in before the torrential rain started thanks to my Mum. As soon as I felt the first few droplets of rain I realised that I had completely chosen the wrong things to wear. I mean who else would wear a coat with no hood, a thin white top (prone to going see-through when wet) and ripped jeans lol. So I did change swiftly as soon as I was done with these pics.

See below the pics for info :) 

I'm wearing:

- Red oversized cocoon coat from River Island - £75 (now £40)

It really pisses me off  annoys me when I buy something full price and then it goes into the sale. But I guess I can't be that annoyed since I bought this around 3 months ago and have worn it quite a bit. Although it looks really thin, it's actually really warm and I don't have to wear too much underneath. 

- White cami with black trim from Primark - £5???

I can't remember how much this was since I bought it all the way back in July for my holiday but I didn't end up wearing it. I like this since its a good quality basic top that I can throw into any outfit. The downside is that it's kinda see-through if you stare too hard lol.

- Ripped mid-wash jeans from American Eagle.

I got these jeans all the way back in 2007 while I was in holiday in Orlando and it's been a staple of my wardrobe ever since. When I first bought them the rips were actually quite small but I wanted it to be a bit more dramatic so I ripped them even more (there's a large one on my thigh that you can't see lol). Even those these can't be purchased here, you can take any pair and distress them yourselves, using anything from your fingers, to scissors and sandpaper.

- Timberland Nellie Chukka Double Waterproof Boot Wheat Nuback - £110

My new favourite thing so expect these to be in quite a few posts in the future! Lol

Thanks for reading!

Another Girl In Another Pair Of Timberlands OOTD

Hi guys! 

Since I'm on my Christmas holidays, I actually have plenty of time to blog...so I thought I'd do an 'outfit of the day' since I haven't done one since April?! How bad is that?! 

I've noticed that recently all my weekend outfits have been all black or close enough so this one follows tradition :) 

Everything I'm wearing here (except for the vest top), I bought in the last two weeks and the Timberlands were a Christmas present. I know almost everyone has a pair, which effectively makes me a fashion sheep, but the heart wants what the heart wants and I'm extremely happy to have them. Also I should mention how comfortable they are! I wasn't expecting it at all but they really feel like I'm wearing Air Max's.

I've written down everything I'm wearing below the pics.

1) Black square quilted faux fur collar jacket from River Island - £45

This was love at first sight. Although it's described as a jacket, I would definitely say it's more of a cardigan as it's quite thin. However, if you wear a cardigan or thick jumper inside it's definitely ok for this mild weather.

2) Black vest from Topshop 

 I've had this for about 5 years and the fact that I'm still able to wear it says a lot about the quality I guess. I definitely recommend their basic wear.

3) Black high waisted leggings from River Island - £20

I can't find a link for them on the website but I got them from the Oxford St store if you're interested. I love that these are so comfortable yet still add a little something extra to an outfit. I'd say to get them a size smaller because I got these in my size and they won't stop falling down lol.

4) Timberland Nellie Chukka Double Waterproof Boot Wheat Nubuck from Office -£110

I'm in love with these so far, and what I love even more is that they're waterproof (since I'm always the stupid girl who wears expensive footwear on rainy days lol). It's like these were made for me!

Hope you enjoyed this post. Feel free to leave any comments below! :)
