Sports luxe all black OOTD

As soon as I saw this cap I knew I had to have it! Sadly it's too big for my buzzed pea head, so I paired it with my amazing wig from Lush wigs and spent the day flicking my hair around and feeling girly. Sorry for wearing this bomber jacket in every post, it just seems to go with everything I'm wearing right now and it's doing a good job of keeping me warm on these windy days.

 Also how cute are my nails right now? I was considering getting little dots tattooed below my nails on each finger so I painting them on to try it out before committing, it means that I don't have to redo my nails after every climbing session as well because there's no chipping, so that's a bonus!

Christmas gift guide #2.. Boyfriend

Checked scarf - River Island

Delonghi Gunmetal coffee machine - Debenhams

Babyliss super stubble - Superdrug

Adventure is calling mug - Urban Outfitters

Royal blood vinyl - HMV

Cork 2016 diary - Paperchase

Grey floral bow tie - River Island

Bear cuff links - Asos

I prefer it when my boyfriend Mike asks me for something and then I can get him a few smaller stocking fillers to go alongside it. Sadly, this year he hasn't been very forthcoming with ideas of things I can get for him so I was feeling a bit panicked and uninspired!

Putting this list together has helped me to think of similar things I can get for him (of course nothing I've included because that would ruin the surprise!).

Recently HMV have extended their record section and I think vinyl is perfect to buy for music lovers, you can also pick up rather cheap record players from there now so that would be a pretty sweet gift! We have quite an extensive collection of old records already, but it's cool to pick up some new releases (I've asked Mike to get me Tame Impala's latest album Currents so I'm super excited).

Now I totally want that coffee machine, it's so aesthetically pleasing and it would be fun to get coffee shop quality drinks from the comfort of my own home!

If anyone has any other ideas for good boyfriend gifts please let me know, I need all the inspiration I can get!

So my goal to finish my Christmas shopping by December 1st didn't work out, but I have been sensible and sorted the majority of my gifts. I've had two trips to town with a list of gift ideas stuffed in my bag and yet I've still managed to buy myself presents before any family members (oops).
The gifts I've shown above are things that I would quite happily receive, so it's sort of a gift guide/wishlist. Compiling this list just made me want to treat myself to all of the pretty things, maybe I'll splash out in January after the Christmas madness!

How are you all getting on with your Christmas shopping? Hopefully better than I am!

Autumn Essentials Wishlist

I've had to be a bit more sensible with my spending lately, so I thought it would be good to compile some outfits that have awesome key pieces.
This will help me justify buying a few staple pieces to see me through the season!



Casual

Faux fur moto Jacket - Forever 21
Camo tee - Adidas
Gold plated boots - River Island
Hand knitted beanie - Topshop

I've been dressing quite smart lately so I fancy changing it up a bit. I love this chunky fake leather jacket and I know I would get so much wear out of it! I would probably buy the t shirt over sized and team it with some chunky tights...

Going out

Slinky bodycon midi dress - Boohoo
Laser cut heels - Missguided
Longline grey coat - Forever 21
Metallic Cluth bag - Asos

Nude and camel tones sadly wash me out when I wear them so instead I chose this warmer mauve shade and I absolutely love it!
I tried on this grey coat at Forever 21 recently and I completely regretted it because I literally fell in love. The coat is really high quality and it fits perfectly, sitting just below the knee on me... so perfect!


Work

Knit hoodie - Forever 21
High rise ripped jeans - Cheap Monday
Over the knee boots - Matalan
Cat eye sunglasses - Asos

I spend most of my work time hoovering, so it's essential that I'm comfy and since the building is an old warehouse I need to wrap up and be cosy!
I love the fit of this cropped hoody, I imagine it would be pretty flattering and the boots are dressy, but also guaranteed to keep my toes warm!
The sunglasses are good for travelling home from work and hiding my make up free face...

Gym

Marble print sports bra - Forever 21
Mesh paneled athletic jacket - Forever 21
Adidas originals leggings - JD Sports
Black and white Nike free run's - Schuh
Floral backpack - Vans

I am obsessed with this jacket! I always love going to Forever 21 for workout clothes, it's so cheap and stylish. I need a new backpack because mine is all muddy and wrecked, but I'm torn between getting a sensible one from the likes of Go Outdoors, or getting something like this Vans backpack (because, well it's gorgeous!).

Ah I want everything!

Khaki crush wishlist

Belted mac - Miss Selfridge

Strapless bandage dress - Missguided

Grid patterned shirt - Forever 21

Statement choker - Asos

Lace up stiletto heels - Missguided

I'm loving all of the khaki clothing in the shops at the minute, it makes a change from my usual head to toe black!

Here are a few pieces that I'm digging in particular and since it's just been payday I thought it was a good time to put some of my favourite picks together. The Miss Selfridge coat is really versatile but I'm more tempted by the lace up stiletto's, man I love shoes...

Clean shirt, new shoes and I don't know where I am goin' to..OOTD

Shirt - Forever 21

Shoes - Nike huaraches

Watch - Asos

This was a super casual day that consisted of running about and doing errands.

I am in love with this new shirt I bought from Forever 21, khaki is everywhere at the minute and this silky top is the perfect "throw it on and go" piece.

It can be really dressed up with bare legs and over the knee boots but because I was doing a lot of walking I teamed it with tights and my trusty huaraches!

I'm going to see if this shirt comes in different colours because I know it's the perfect staple piece for my wardrobe.

I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire, don't touch me I'm a real live wire.. OOTD

Top - Primark

Pinafore - Primark

Boots - River Island

Bag - Primark

Watch - Asos

As expected these River Island boots have hardly left my feet since they were delivered. I was a bit wild and bought the pinafore in this burgundy red instead of my usual black and I am glad I did (although I'm quite tempted to go back and get the black version as well).

Please ignore my chipped nail varnish and bruise covered legs...

I'm hoping to start doing more outfit of the day posts but I'm quite forgetful and I'm still quite shy when it comes to taking photo's in public places (for these pics I hid behind a wall in the train station!)
