roll necks are back

   I can't believe I'm saying this but the 90s turtle neck is back and I've fallen hard for it.

Oversized, cropped, knit, jersey, cashmere... the list goes on. So far this year I have added three more to my collection, Primark, Zara and Warehouse. They go with everything in your wardrobe from wool coats, capes and fur soles for the chilly days, to party shorts and leather skirts for the party season.

Since moving up to Newcastle I have become absolutely obsessed with expensive shops I cannot afford - Reiss' shapes and colours and The White Company's amazingly soft, beautiful cashmere! Pricing in the region of £125 its a little more out of my budget but check online and they are offering 30% Seasonal Offers so now's the time to plea for Christmas!

   Here's a breakdown of how you can shop catwalk knock-offs from the shops we love ~
Warehouse - £45 Tuck into a leather skirt for a night out
ASOS - £35 Wear with ripped boyfriend jeans or leggings and wear with an oversized boyfriend coat 
New Look - £9.99 Team simply with a camel coat or oversized wool scarf and dark high waisted jeans
Topshop - £44 Wear high fashion with a midi pleated skirt
River Island - £25 Dress for a party with leather leggings or sequin shorts and barely there sandals

hectic days

at last I have one hour to just blog !

   Last week I had a reading week which I read as being 'do nothing week' but no. I had a million things to do and every time I sat down to blog the thousands of things I had set ready to write I found another thing to do. But finallllly things have gone back to 'normal'.
One of my recent projects has been a shop report on Burberry which looks at their layouts, merchandising, store stock and website. I can safely say I am now Burberry obsessed. Here's a few cheeky previews of my work for you -

Currently sat in my halls kitchen listening to David Guetta classics with a bun higher up on my head then you could shake a stick at, my fluffy leopard dressing gown and rabbit slippers, I can't imagine I'll be going out within the next hour, but that is uni life.

   I'll probably wear my new Topshop purchase (bad student example-did not need) (but very much wanted) A top/dress in the most beautiful crepe fabric, of course in my favourite colour, which I pretty much wear every day with jeans/leggings/tights and at night with heels
   Last Friday I wore it all day and decided to wear it to a Halloween house party with no plan to go out afterwards so wore ballet flats... SUCH a bad decision for a dwarf like me. We then decided to go out on the busiest night in Newcastle everrrr and I felt so short all night but I could bounce up and down like a maniac when 'Shake it Off' by Swifty came on... every cloud..

Jeans - Warehouse

  Totally obsessed with roll necks and camel coloured everything right now, next week I'll do a style post on how to's and where to go,
