Hello lovely people! It’s time for us university students to crash freshers week, return to our lectures and top of the list, it’s the start of the best time of year! Autumn, a time of hot chocolates, piping hot homemade soup and layering of beautiful jumpers and drop-dead-adorable coats. Plus, its a fabulous countdown to Christmas! Can ya tell i’m a little bit excited?!
After two separate days of shopping, both in lovely London and the less lovely (but okay for a hometown) Stevenage, i have collected a few pieces to prepare me for the colder months ahead. So, instead of doing the reading for uni that i should be doing today, i’m going to show you some of the pieces i’ve bought! It’s a tad worrying that the procrastination has already begun… tehe.
Also, i can’t find my camera charger atm so i’ve taken all these images from the clothing websites 🙂
Primark
Of course being in London i popped into the huuuuge Primark, i had a list of items that i wanted to get whilst i was there but sadly didn’t get to! It was crazy busy and we were both starving for Yo Sushi! so we only made it through the front door aha! However, the item i wanted most was right in that doorway, so it was alllll good. It is the most beautiful coat, another to add to my ever growing collection, i can’t wait to add a huge pop of colour to any winter outfit!
As well as getting the coat, in the Stevenage Primark i managed to get the beautiful purple/berry skirt that i featured in my last post and a dozen pairs of tights – you can never have too many pairs of tights!
H&M
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with H&M. Their sizes irritate me to no end but some of my favourite things are from there, it’s bittersweet! But whilst in one of the Oxford Street stores i found a gorrrrrgeous shirt that i simply had to have. I’m a big fan of Miss Gracie Francesca and i’ve always loved her casual style when it comes to wearing shirts, so she was the inspiration for this purchase.
I also picked up a burgundy coloured beanie, which looks so cute with the shirt!
New Look
I popped into NewLook to get a cute top with a collar to put under my winter jumpers and found the perfect one… well two actually!
Matalan
Matalan has given me some really adorable home ware pieces in the past, as well as adorable Disney underwear and very well priced batteries! So, i was really surprised (and excited!) when i spotted the most beautiful shawl. I think i actually skipped over to the mannequin haha! I tried one on and the rest is history…
Topshop – Online
As i didn’t spend very much money during my London shopping trip, i decided i would grant myself a little splurge on the Topshop website. I got two more pairs of Joni jeans (of course) because they’ll be super comfy for commuting and i also got a suuuuper cute top! I think returning for my final year of uni has given my bank account a bashing but who doesn’t need a new fall wardrobe?!
Well i hope you’ve enjoyed a little peek into my new fall clothing pieces! I now need to close my wallet and open my uni text books – it’s time for my third year and hopefully a degree and graduation!
Have a wonderful week and i’ll be back soon!
a graceful attempt at life and other such things, xxxxxxx
