OOTD: JERSEY SKIRT

I took these outfit photos the other week before I went on my holidays to magaluf and my new start in my University house for second year, so I am writing this in my new room and surroundings now that I am settled again!

This was a 'I have no clothes to wear, I will just throw this on' kind of outfit that actually worked quite well. The skirt I found in Primark just after I almost splashed out an arm and a leg for the Zara version, which I was more than happy about! The shirt I picked up in the River Island sale around this time last year, I got it in a size 12 so that I can wear it oversized as I think it works a lot better when its longer. Of course the Docs are coming out in full force again now the weather is getting abit chillier, they still have to be my favourite footwear that I have bought!

What are you pulling out of the back of the wardrobes for autumn/winter?

OOTD: FLORAL MIDI

A bit of a different kind of post today, normally I'm wearing docs or some other form of flat shoe. But I thought I would give you an insight in how I would 'dress up' given a fancy occasion. I picked this skirt up in Primark a few months ago, wary about how it would look on me because of the length but I love it! It shows my body shape well and makes my legs look even longer when I am wearing heels with it. The top I picked up in a charity shop as well as the belt for a few pounds and I think they just create a quirky vintage look paired with the skirt.

I think a little gurney looking is definitely my comfort zone, hence why I added the clumpy shoes and choker necklace. I mean, you can't have me looking too girly, its weird! haha. The sunglasses add a classic edge to the look just to finish it off. Overall I love this look, I might even adjust it slightly so I can wear it out in the daytime.

What do you think to dressing up for occasions? What is your go to style?

OOTD: BIRKS & RIPS

I wore this outfit out for dinner the other day, we went for an italian as a hangover cure! Luckily I wasn't feeling too bad, but I can't speak for my friends haha! I wanted a casual vibe so I went for these ripped jeans that I picked up in the Topshop Sale recently for around £25 and a plain tshirt. The sandals I went with purely for comfort but they looked quite good with the look so that was a bonus!

This coat is my recent find from Primark! It was £12 (I think) and I have been wearing it constantly since buying it. It has that 'olsen twin' look about it and I am obsessed with them so obviously Im going to wear it to death haha!

Any recent bargains you have picked up? Looks you have been loving?

M.A.C RED BY MAC

Everyone loves a red lip? Right? I myself am partial to a red lip every now and then when I feel the need to look sophisticated and sassy. I like to pair red lips with a simple and plain outfit so that I don't look too full on and in your face and makeup wise I leave my eyes rather plain so that all of the attention is focused on the pout!

When working at the airport I was able to buy wonderful products at discounted products including things from MAC Cosmetics, hence why I picked this beautiful shade of lipstick up while I was there! Its quite a deep shade of red with blue tones, which I quite like as it looks powerful, its a satin finish so its a matt finish with a slight shine to it which still keeps the lips feeling moisturised. The staying power is a bonus swell with a red lipstick as it stains the lips giving a lasting effect. I am definitely happy with this purchase and can't wait to style it up with different looks!

What do you think to MAC Cosmetics lipsticks? What is your favourite shade/finish?

OOTD: LITTLE BOOTS

So September is here and I am already excited for autumn to come around so I can bring all the tights and warm coats out from the back of my closet. However at the moment it is still quite warm, rainy yes, but still a tad muggy so the tights can stay where they are for now! Just a quick simplistic outfit here, I added the hat to really add another dimension to the look making it look a little more sophisticated and mature looking. I also left it simple without much jewellery to keep it looking chic.

I've posted about this lip colour before, and I am still as obsessed with it as I was back then. Its slightly brighter than a classic red lip and matte finish so it keeps the lips looking fresh and bold with great staying power all the time.

What have your season transition outfit been like?

NEW BUYS: BOHO JEWELS

All 3 Necklaces: Topshop

Summer sales, I love them. In fact any sales in general I love, I just can't get enough. Even if I don't need anything I will always end up leaving a shop with something from a sale, I think I have a problem aha! Anyway, enough rambling. I was in Topshop the other day returning something and I just went over to have a nose at the jewellery sale and to my delight I came across some beauties that I had been searching for for ages.

I can't remember the original prices of these necklaces but I doubt they were over £12, but I managed to get them for £3.50 each. They have a boho, Coachella vibe about them perfect for the festival season layered with chokers and other chains. Pair them with some tiny gold hoop earrings and some gold rings and you're good to go! I can't wait to style these up when I go to Reading Festival next month.

Have you picked up any bargains in the summer sales?

OOTD: LILAC & MINT

The sun is out and its booming! I love how it makes everyone so much happier when it's nice out, and I also love being able to go out without having to cover up with a coat or wrap a scarf around you to keep you warm. I had to pop to the post office today to send off some depop orders that I had managed to sell! (check out my depop, username: @toria_adkins) so I threw on this ensemble as a quick outfit but I think it turned out quite nicely! This shirt I managed to find in my local charity shop, its a size 12 which is double what I actually am but I think it looks ok and I thought it was totally cute so I needed to have it at a mere £2. This skirt I got last year as a birthday gift and I have only really started wearing it this summer which is shocking because I actually love it to bits and it goes so well with almost everything I try it on with!

What have you been wearing in the sun? What are your summer essentials?
