Hooray its Autumn!!!!!

I don't know whether it's the idea of Christmas being near or the fact that I can put away the crop tops and revealing clothes and now have the excuse to go out in a massive baggy jumper, leggings and some boots that makes me love autumn so much!

I know a lot of people won't agree but I prefer the colder seasons over summer, I mean I love summer and getting a tan but after a while I think it all becomes a bit boring and when it's too hot to sleep I become so anti-summer! I love autum because it's the sort of weather where you can wear a nice jumper and leggings and be warm, not too hot or too cold (you are basically porridge). 

But mainly CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS is soon, I'm not sure what it is but nothing can beat the festive feel of Christmas for me! Just going out and seeing all the decorations excites me and I know that as soon as it's autumn time will just fly by!

MY 8 FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT AUTUMN

1. Hot Drinks- nothing better than a hot chocolate when it's a bit chilly to warm you up before bed! it's heaven, A MUST TRY is the 'Rocky Road Hot chocolate' that I can buy in my local sweet/chocolates store!

2. Clothes- I love clothes themed for colder times! Like the thick jeans and big fluffy boots all topped off by a massive themed jumper (especially nearer to Christmas) THEMED JUMPER IS A MUST HAVE (I joke but seriously you need one)

3. Start of a new school term- I know this is a little far fetched but I cannot be the only one who looks forward to a fresh start and meeting new people! There is nothing better than being 'cleansed' by summer holidays and going back to school without wanting to be held prisoner by your bed in the morning!

4. Make-up- I know this might not affect all of you but I find that in the summer applying make up is a lot harder and I've had to 'bear a naked face' many times in public due to the lack of point of putting make up on due to sweat and extra oily skin! I mean my skin is oily enough in the winter but I like how the colder air actually dries my skin out a bit enabling me to wear make-up that will last longer!

5. Cosy films- There is nothing better than getting home from a chilly day out and being able to get in bed and watch a few films without completely over heating ! I love a good rom com and Autumn is a very 'film' time for me, not sure why but I go a bit film crazy! Some recommendations are: The Mortal Instruments/ Surrogates/Iron Man/ Dark Knight

6. Shopping- There is nothing worse than constantly going into a shop and seeing the same stuff so i love going into Topshop or River Island and seeing a completely new array of beautifulll clothing!Shopping for this time of the year is my favourite, im not sure why but i seem to love the clothes so much more when they are themed for the colder seasons!

7. Outings- In summer i think you are quite restricted in what you can do and where you can go mainly just due to the heat, like somedays i remember not wanting to move just because the heat was so intense! But in this season the weather is perfect to do anything whether it be going on a walk or actually going out for the day somewhere (sweat is my worst enemy BLEH)

8. GYM- There is nothing worse than going for a run or to the gym and ending up soaked in sweat (mm i hate to say it but its the truth) I mean people know you dont look your best but honestly there is not looking your best and there is looking like a WRECK. The one thing about the colder seasons i love is the fact I can go for a run or go to the gym and im way less likely to sweat plus the cooler air just helps me exercise without overheating!

What is your favourite season and why?

Blazer Obsessions

I don't know what it is, but I have recently found a secret obsession with blazers. I've never been a very formal type of dresser-as in, I like wearing my baggy t-shirts and a pair of motto jeans, whack on some boots and off I go. However, I never actually realised that you don't have to be wearing a 'full on' Office outfit or be a secretary to be able to pull off the Blazer look. The other day I put a blazer on over my jeans and a crop and it felt like I had been enlightened! The actual outfit worked and I loved it, so now to share my obsession with Blazers with you. Here are a few I have found (whilst scouting the internet) that I think would be a lovely addition to any wardrobe for the Autumn/Winter period coming up, so you can stay warm yet be fashionable at the same time without having to wear a 'sumo coat' or a massive scruffy jumper!

Blue Unfastened Cropped Blazer- River Island £35.00 

http://www.riverisland.com/women/coats--jackets/blazers/Blue-unfastened-cropped-blazer-644342

I am in love with this cropped blazer from River Island, so lovely and bright for the Autumn months but also can be easily worn in spring/summer. One of my favourite colours as well!

(I also love it in the pink/salmon colour)

Cream Jacquard Longline Blazer- River Island £40.00

http://www.riverisland.com/women/coats--jackets/blazers/Cream-jacquard-longline-blazer-643957

Im not normally into metallic 'outer layers' however I love the style of this jacket as the metallic pattern kind of intergrates with the cream so it just adds another dimension rather than looking like wrapping paper haha! I love the fact it is long as well, it is quite a casual 'throw on' which is nice, its not too fitted either so it would be a comfy wear!

Blue Metallic Blazer-River Island £45.00

http://www.riverisland.com/women/coats--jackets/blazers/Blue-metallic-blazer-643963

I also bloomin love this blazer, the fact it is dark but then also lightened by the metallic effect makes the style really indeering and im sure it would be very flattering too! I would not wear this with the button done up as that seems too formal (for me anyway) but as a simple blazer over a pretty vest and some jeans its an easy way to make an outfit look a bit more special!

Blue Polka Dot Blazer- River Island £20.00

http://www.riverisland.com/women/sale/coats--jackets/blue-polka-dot-blazer-622555

I love the idea of this being a bit more 'funky' with a bold and bright pattern on it! Its a great colour too, im a true believer that bright blue can work with a very large amount of other colours like the monochrome however also bright colours like Orange!

Patch Print Blazer-Topshop £20.00

http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTerm=blazer&storeId=12556&productId=10777304&urlRequestType=Base&categoryId=&langId=-1&productIdentifier=product&catalogId=33057

I loveeee this so much! Plain blazers can be so boring and majority of people have them as they are a must in pretty much every teenage/adult girls wardrobe as they are so flexible! So having a patterned one which is a bit 'out there' is probably quite rare and i think will speak volumes about the person that is wearing it! Id love one of these, shame Christmas is so far away!

There arent that many things i put in a clutch for a night out, or dinner but everything i do put in there is ESSENTIAL to being able to survive! haha i joke but when im out i generally use everything I put in my bag, don't want to be carrying dead weight!

Clutch from New Look £15.99

J-Lo Fragrance (not sure which one)

Hotlights Lipgloss

L'oreal Lipstick in Strawberry Juice

No17 Bronze/Powder Brush

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder 001 £3.99

Hair Band and a Few grips for fall out hair or those moments where you wish you dont have hair and just want to bald yourself via a hairband.

Hope you enjoyed this post :) ive done way too many today but blogging just excites me way too much ahha please comment and ask question! sorry for the state of some of my make up goods, the ones in my bag are fairly used and ruffled- they have had very long and fulfilled lives but soon will have to be replaced with new shiny make up woo

6th Form

oh my days ive started 6th form, how crazy! Time has flown by so quickly i remember being year 7 and thinking how bloomin massive the 6th formers were and how i had ageees until i was an 'adult'.
The subjects I chose were Maths, Geography, Chemistry and Biology because i'm not sure whether I want to be a Vet or in Business so im trying to keep my options open! Luckily i am staying at my old senior school for 6th form so im not venturing into the unknown, Im still with majority of my close friends so im not nervous for the social part! Just the idea that everything I do know is so important and can literally change my life! Oh well i have 2 years of absolute craziness to go until we see what results i get!
The only annoying thing about sixth form which can be taken as both a positive and a negative is the idea that you get to wear what you want, i mean yes my uniform was pretty disgusting but thats not the point, i now have to wear a different outfit EVERYDAY! I love fashion and everything but schools do know how to make a girl stretch her wardrobe! So i've had to go on a bit of a sixth form shop (sad times) here is a few bits and bobs...

River Island Leggings £25.00 each
