Hello i am back! Been crazily busy the last few weeks finishing off applications, working, and my birthday! Went to a cute sushi bar the other day, so took the opportunity to take a few pictures.

Biggest news since i've been gone.. i've finally got a new pair of trainers (yes that's bigger than passing my driving test, and turning 20) and they are my new obsession. You cant go wrong with a good pair of trainers, over sized shirt and a chunky knit, definitely the best investments for winter this year.

Yes, i have bought another pair of culottes (and I may or may not have another new pair waiting to be blogged...). I just cant help myself around them, baggy over sized and comfy- what more can you ask for? They do go with everything as the perfect statement piece; my favorite ensemble of course the chunky knit or over sized shirt, but you cant go wrong with a fitted top or a pair of chunky heels if your not comfortable with the full on androgynous look.

So, in conclusion, If you don't yet own a pair yet, what are you playing at? these babies will keep you going right through too summer.

I love a mixture of charity shop and highstreet, especially when i come across jumpers and shoes like these. There's always a few good polo necks in charity shops, but this one caught my eye for its beautiful deep berry shade. Its so thick and warm, perfect for this autumn weather without the need for a coat. My other bargain of the week were these shoes, everything about them i adore! The tread, the colour the pattern,, when i saw them hiding away in the corner in a size 3 i was so happy! (even if they are flats) 

Kept the rest of the outfit quite simple, little leather white skirt from Zara, which has had a lot of wear over the summer, but is still going strong through till October. I love the look of  short skirts and over sized knits, just a shame i don't have Alexa Chung's legs.. Added my trusty black shopper bag to keep the look casual, and of course a berry lip, it is Autumn after all. 

Ps please excuse my pasty legs, i need a holiday.. or at least a good fake tan.
