Faux Everything

Jumper - & Other Stories

Faux Fur Vest - ASOS

Faux Leather Leggings - www.leggsington.co.uk *

Skater Shoes - H&M

Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs www.my-wardrobe.com

Another comfy/snug day for me today, this weather doesn't make me want to dress up - especially after all of the rain we've been having!! These leggings make a nice change from jeans which I seem to be wearing to death at the moment. I love the zip detailing on the ankle too. They can be worn casual but also with heels. They're also nice and tight - there's nothing worse than saggy leggings.

My jumper was a massive bargain at £5 in the & Other Stories sale which I got back in July, they had other colours which I wish I'd bought at such a great price and my faux fur vest was also a sale steal at £11 bought a few months ago - I was preparing for the cold pretty early this year.

Happy Halloween!!

Jumper - Lazy Oaf

Jeans - Iris & Ink (www.theoutnet.com)

Boots - New Look Via ASOS

Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs (www.my-wardrobe.com)

Happy Halloween!! I'm off work today so I thought I would add a bit of Halloween to my outfit whilst I spend my afternoon carving pumpkins.

Isn't this jumper just the cutest???  It's me down to a tee - it's pink, fluffy and has a cat on it - Lazy Oaf are one of my faves for sure. I got it for my birthday a few weeks back and thought today would be the perfect day to put it up on the blog. 

I thought I would just go plain and simple with my black jeans and boots today with the added touch of my devil hair and black lips for Halloween but it also looks great with a midi skirt, skater shoes and a red lip as that's another way I have worn it.

Are you up to anything special for Halloween this weekend?

Shearling Coat

Coat - Mango

T-shirt - Zara

Jeans - Iris & Ink (www.theoutnet.com)

Boots - Zara

Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs (www.my-wardrobe.com)

One of the trends seen at fashion week back in February was Shearling/Sheepskin and it's something I've always been quite a fan of. I got this during the 30% off weekend that Mango did a few weeks ago for £49 which I thought was a massive bargain. It's lined with faux leather so it's really thick and warm.

These boots I got for £12.99 reduced from £80 in the summer sale - one of my biggest bargains to date I think.

I can't wait until I can start wearing them a lot more. I do get excited by A/W fashion but I hate the cold so I can't win!

What You Waiting For?

Sweatshirt - Lulu&Co Via My-Wardrobe.com// Jeans - Topshop// Bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs via My-Wardrobe.com// Shoes - H&M

This sweater and jeans combo is becoming a favourite of mine at the moment as it's so easy to chuck on and it still looks like you've put in a bit of effort. My sweater I got in the summer sale - I do love a slogan sweater and it's still available on the Lulu&Co website.

I recently had my birthday and I purchased this MJ bag from My-Wardrobe with some of the money I received - it was such a great buy as I was in need of a smaller bag for shopping/cinema trips and it's the perfect size as I can fit everything in it and it's a lot nicer in the flesh.

Sale Buys - NET-A-PORTER.COM | MY-WARDROBE.COM | ASOS | ZARA | TOPSHOP

There's no better time of the year for me than when the sales start. As sad as this may sound, my life pretty much revolves around fashion and clothes. Looking good is a very big thing to me so getting bargains and more things for my money is fab. I got some high end and high street pieces. It's no secret that I work at Net-A-Porter (well I finished on Friday as I am off to Vogue!!) and they very generously give us our staff discount off of sale items as well, so of course I couldn't help having a little splurge.

NET-A-PORTER.COM

Kenzo Jumper

Unfortunately this jumper has sold out now, but it was 40% off at £102. The logo is sequins and it's actually a gorgeous shade of mint which the pictures unfortunately don't show up very well. 

Chinti & Parker breton

The heart print pocket on this breton definitely won me over. It went down to £45 (half price) and I class this as an investment piece because breton tops are timeless and I will wear it for years and years until it actually falls apart. 

Stella McCartney tank and J.Crew weekdays Tee

As mentioned in one of my last posts, I have recently joined the gym. I got this tank as I love allll of the Adidas Stella McCartney bits and I like to try and look a little bit stylish whilst I work out. The J.Crew weekdays top I had my eye on for a while and it went down to £28.

As mentioned before high end lingerie is something I always like to buy...especially during the sales as it makes it a lot more affordable.

L'Agent by Agent Provocateur lingerie set

L'Agent by Agent Provocateur is a design collaboration between Penelope Cruz and AP and I'm so happy I managed to buy a set as I'd been lusting since I first saw them at work being shot in the studio. I don't think there are many sizes left on NAP but House of Fraser online have the set as I had to buy my knickers from there as they had already sold out. The bra is £35, thong £18, and briefs £19.50 in the House of Fraser sale.

Elle Macpherson Intimates Safari set in pink.

Now this set was a serious bargain. The bra is down to £15 and the knickers down to £10 and that was without my added discount. You would pay more than that for a set from the High Street and this is a perfect every day set. 

ZARA

Top - £5.99          Shorts - £15.99

Top - £12.99

TOPSHOP

Top - £8    Jeans - £25

I was so happy when I found this bunny tee in Toppers whilst browsing at lunch as it had sold out pretty much straight away online. 

ASOS

Nike Roshe Runs - £49

 

With ASOS being the last sale to start I had pretty much spent all of my shopping budget so I was sensible (for once) and ordered the one thing I'd want for ages...some black Nike trainers. How cool are they?!

MY-WARDROBE.COM

Lulu & Co embellished flower Tee £35// Lulu & Co sweater £49 (both 50% off)

I don't have these pieces to hand to take a photo of them but these were my first sale purchase. They are both reduced even further now top £28 and sweater £24 - soooo cheap! Luckily they don't have my size left otherwise I wouldn't be very happy!

 

 

What do you think of my bits? Did you get lots of bargains?
