"You either know fashion or you don't."
- Anna Wintour
I never did stick to the rules or let the weather prevent me from wearing whatever it is I've wanted to wear. Long gone are the days of waking up in the morning and checking out the weather forecast online. These days I just pick whatever I want; if I'm feeling relaxed and care-free, it's a tee and jeans. If I'm feeling flirty, then a sexy dressy or a cute little skirt with killer heels. On this day I was feeling rather random, so a random outfit is what I went for.
I wanted to be comfy and chic at the same time, but I wanted my outfit to look well presented and somewhat matchy (yes, a new word of mine). I opted for a graphic print t-shirt from MissPap, a maxi faux fur coat from Boohoo and this fabulous fuchsia origami skirt from ASOS. I finished off the look with a black felt Beret from ASOS and killer heels from Zara (which are now available in the sale). Of course... as is now standard with all my outfits... I added a complementary shade of Mac lipstick to add the perfect last touch.

My favourite trend of the Winter is definitely the faux fur coat and as you may have seen from my recent posts I am literally obsessed with them. I've built up quite a collection, in a range of colours and fits; from post box red and oversized to the longline classic black, I really just can't get enough.
When I spotted this amazing baby pink faux fur coat on Missguided I just knew I had to have it, but unfortunately it was not yet on sale. Quite a tease displaying it on the website (when it wasn't available) I thought, but every other day I would go and have a look to see if it had become available, to my delight after a month it was eventually on the site and best of all available in my size. Out came the purse.
I decided to keep the attention on the coat with this outfit, by teaming it up with muted tones. I teamed the coat up with a pink cold shoulder thin knit jumper from ASOS, faux suede leggings from Zara, a black fedora hat from River Island and black pointed court perspex heels from H&M. I finished off the look with more faux fur, a black large stole and a stone and silver cross body bag, both from Zara. Believe me when I say I was as snug as bug.

One of my favourite colours for the festive season is red, so I decided to feature a little something on the blog for the special occasion. But as usual I decided to add a twist. Rather than wearing a typical Christmas jumper or a floppy Santa hat, I decided to sexy things up just a bit; ensuring I would appear on Sanata's naughty list. Hey, what fun is it always being good?!
I opted for this red faux fur coat and slinky deep cut tie front red dress, both from Lotd.com. I added gold platform heeled sandals and a gold caged sphere bag, both from ASOS. I finished off the look with the perfect touch, red bold lipstick. Santa can keep his present, I don't do nice.

I was feeling a little bold and I wanted to feature an outfit that reflected how I was feeling. So I decided to wear this amazing faux fur lime green coat from the Kourtney Kardashian x Pretty Little Thing collection (sold out in Lime, available in Pink), with this simple matching body con dress from River Island (old). I teamed up the perfect duo with perspex heeled sandals from Public Desire, a Silver Large clutch bag from ASOS (sold out) and to tie the look together, a silver statement necklace from Aldo Shoes at ASOS (old). Who knew that lime green and dark purple go so well together?!

I've long lusted after jumper dresses, but never got round to finding the perfect one for me. That was until I came across this cream split arm beauty from Missguided. Soft, warm and stylish, I decided to pair the dress with my blue velvet over the knee boots from Public Desire and a blue faux fur jacket from Forever 21. I finished off the look with a mustard cross-body bag from Mango and simple jewellery.

Last year there was this amazing pink faux fur coat that I spotted advertised on the H&M website, but it was not yet available for sale. A few days later, I went to the website to discover the coat was on sale but sold out in my size, I'm not exaggerating when I say I was distraught. At the time I remember telling myself that I had just missed out on the coat of my dreams. I remember seeing all these bloggers sporting the coat on Instagram (all Winter long), the envy grew, however I eventually got over it.
Well this year H&M released the coat again, this time in baby blue... and let me tell you, I was even more in love with it than I was with the pink one. I couldn't believe it was available in my size, so with my birthday discount code, I snapped it up sharpish. I was so happy with it when it arrived in the post the next day. I must say, it has been my best purchase this season.
I love the colour so much I decided to put together an outfit with purely that colour and feature it on the blog. I teamed the coat with a deep cut bodysuit (sold out) from Pretty Little Thing, trousers from Zara (old) and added a bit of shine with Gold heeled sandals (similar here) from ASOS and a matching bag (sold out) from Missguided.

First of all I have to say, forget Summer, I'm a big fan of Autumn...simply because of the fashion. I'd rather wear killers boots and amazing faux fur coats, with cool hats... instead of mini skirts and crop tops. Autumn has long been my favourite time of the year and over the next few months you'll see exactly why.
Well, I've been telling everyone that I'm going to put together a list of top faux fur coats to buy, but I thought before doing so I'd feature one more faux fur coat outfit. I promise.. the list is coming really soon. With this outfit, I went for this great new addition of mine, this three tone faux fur coat from... wait for it... yep, you won't believe it... none other than... Shein! Yep, I told you that you wouldn't believe me. How amazing is it?! When you find out the price you'll be over to the website as fast as the speed of light.
I paired up the coat with a simple black basic jersey fitted dresss from H&M, a wardrobe staple of mine. I teamed the outfit with these sexy boots from Hidden Fashion, which you'll be happy to know are now half price on sale. I finished the look with cool sunglasses and a faux fur crosss body bag from Zara (old). How else do I turn basic to glam? none other than red lipstick and a matching manicure. And there you have it, my a little bit of glam in South London.

My love for faux fur has grown into something of an obsession. Of late my wardrobe has been packed full of faux fur in plenty of colours; from the classic black, to red and even baby blue. Who said you only need one coat to get you through these cold long months?!
I decided to wear this amazingly soft faux fur coat from Look of the Day (now only available in Pink or Mustard) with a GRL PWR tee (on sale, here), from the same brand. I kept the colours to a minimal; sticking with grey, black and red. I teamed up the duo with a black faux leather shirt from Zara (old), a grab faux leather clutch bag and pointed heeled shoes from Primark. I finished off the look with these diamanté encrusted glasses from Forever 21 and a bold red lip, courtesy of Mac Cosmetics.
