I'm just not destined to be a regular blogger am I? I'd love to blog more often, I really miss not only posting, but reading everyone's blogs, finding that new source of inspiration that makes me mix up my wardrobe! The only reason I haven't been able to keep up my regular posts is because I struggle to feel comfortable in front of a camera unless certain people are behind it - these are taken by my lovely twin sister.

I have been wearing this jacket every day pretty much since French Connection gifted it to me. Now please excuse me while I gush because I just adore it - and not because it was gifted. I'd actually been eyeing up this jacket to buy for myself when I received the email asking me if I'd like to choose an item - I'm not the kind of blogger that would ever lose their integrity for a free gift! I will always be honest. Back to the jacket! It's not real leather, but I honestly could never tell until I read it on the website. It is just the perfect biker jacket don't you think? It has quilted shoulder and quilted elbow patches, and is the perfect length to throw on over dresses or over a hoodie and leggings to uni in the freezing cold Staffordshire weather! I've been wearing it daily for over three months now too and it's still in perfect condition with no rips in the lining or anything (don't you find that happens with EVERY leather jacket? Drives me mad) so I can say wholeheartedly that it is excellent quality too! It is literally the perfect biker and I am so happy with it and grateful to French Connection for giving it to me :)

I picked up this top in the sale at Topshop for £7.50! I really love the print as it has Daisies on it! Motel have some gorgeous items for sale at the moment but I'll post more on that another time - I've had a bit of a motel binge recently and bought three of their bodies and 2 bodycon (!! not like me!) dresses, I love them! I wear this shaped skirt all the time at the moment, I just think it's so flattering, so expect to see my black and leather versions pretty regularly!

I hope you're all enjoying the autumny sun, I think this is the last week where everything will look pretty with the crispy leaves on the floor until it rains and all turns to slippery sludge and I end up falling on my bum! And I JUST realised - HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)! I should have done a halloweeny post...Maybe after the weekend of celebrations!

I love this outfit. I've been wearing this look quite a lot recently, one of my motel bodies with this topshop skirt. The only trouble with the bodies is they don't have poppers at the bottom which makes going to the loo in this outfit a nightmare. I like how I can go from day to night in this too :) Motel make the perfect items for day to night changes. I've also just seen that this body is now £6.50 on ASOS, a steal and still available in all sizes - I fully recommend!

I don't know if you've seen on twitter but I'm currently selling a few bits a pieces. They're all on my instagram (or statigram here) and I'm selling my kate moss for topshop dress too. If you're interested in anything please give me an email :)

you're as decorated as the day that you left

I hate these pictures but I just had to show you this t-shirt. I love the print on it, I've just seen that it went down to £10 in the sale which is gutting! The shoes are from Nelly and are actually a bit too small for me so I'll probably end up selling them :( They're a size 3 if anyone is interested! Perfect condition as I've only worn them for about an hour in total! Before I bought from Nelly, all I had heard were bad things, but I bought 3 pairs of shoes from them, they delivered quickly (and it was free postage!) and when I returned a pair of shoes to them the refund went through fine. I'd fully recommend them for anyone who hasn't shopped with them before.

I've had a crazy few days, had to pack up all my stuff in my house because I thought I needed to move out but fortunately I had a few extra days to organise things. Still not sure what I'm doing/where I'm going to be living, but had a few exciting emails this week which helped to cheer me up!

Even though I have NO money, I've found myself internet shopping before swiftly closing the page before I have to pay! There are so many gorgeous things on the high street at the moment I'd love to snap up, I always love the AW collections. I'm subscribed to Goldie London's newsletter and their new collection is absolutely gorgeous - you have to check it out! The smoke print pieces are stunning and I love the fifth picture down in this post; that embellished top is beautiful!

Enjoy your Sunday :)

to think, of all the paintings we would be without, if Van Gogh had gone and died face down, from loss of blood the night he went and hacked his ear off.

This NEVER happens. An all topshop outfit? I didn't even realise until I just typed it out. This dress is well old, I got it in the sale and never really wore it cos it's a size 6 and bodycon. I totally don't wear bodycon anymore! But worn under this skirt I really love it! I've worn it a couple of times recently, I think it's quite dressy for the day with the embellished neckline, but I throw my grey hoodie over it and I think it dresses it down nicely :)

I got my nose pierced a few days ago! But to be super organised, I have another two outfit posts to post before I'll be posting it on here. I got a ring and I think it's a bit bent funny so I need to go back and have that fixed. Any tips for looking after it would be helpful, I want it to heal quickly but properly. I'm allergic to savlon so so far just been using salt water and not putting make up on it/touching it, very difficult when the ball keeps dropping out and making me look like a man. I'm sounding really positive about this piercing aren't I?! Anyway, I'm gonna go research the representation of women in 24! Have a nice day :)

I love this dress and cardigan hoodie thing SO much! I found the dress in Matalan for £14, I never ever go in there but popped in out of boredom and came out with this. I love the bright, clashing colours with the aztec print. It's also got a dead 90s high neckline with the deep cut shoulders, a shape I love at the moment. I can't believe how much I spent on this cardigan, EIGHTY FIVE ENGLISH POUNDS. That's like, the vast majority of £100. That's a LOT of money to me right now. I don't recommend buying it at all though! It is such poor quality, I've got so many holes in it where the thread just comes undone, and it's totally not worth the aforementioned fortune. But I do love it and wear it all the time so I'll stop bitching about it now!

Going on a trip to Keele hall today and hopefully the sun will come out! Hope you all enjoy your Sundays :)
