{OOTD} 50 Shades of Blanc

It goes without saying that I can never start an entry around this time of the year without complaining about the weather. More truthfully, I am never really bothered to check the weather until I've been rained on. But, of course, I am not a woman to be swayed by the weather. So when my housemate, Amal R told me that she wanted to do an all-white ensemble shoot I knew that I must either succumb or cry from frostbite for my outfit.

on Amal R - ZARA blouse, trousers and shoes

Have a good weekend!

Follow Friday anyone?

Call me a voyeur but I love nothing more than a glimpse into the sartorial lives of my favourite fashion folks. However this could get a little boring at one point so I've culled 8 new instagram favourites of mine:

1) @halfbakedharvest

2)@theaptmt

3) @designlovefest

4) @jessbruggink

5) @ihavethisthingwithfloors

6) @monlinglee

7) @billycress

Have a lovely weekend ahead,

All Wrapped Up

You know what they say, nothing burns like the cold. To think we have the time to layer the perfect outfit in this horrendous weather (especially when you have 9AM classes). Fortunately, the snow in Leicester did not settle-making it easier for me to leave the house without looking like a ball of wrapped up mess.

Coat - New Look

Cardigan - Urban Outfitters

Top - River Island

Jeans - H&M

Shoes - New Look

Neckless - Réserve Naturelle 

Belt - H&M

Bag - Liz Claiborne 

The coat is so versatile, I wear it 24/7 to almost any occasion! The furry texture makes it quite the statement, requiring nothing more than a grey knitted cardigan that matches the gloomy atmosphere, a leather turtleneck sleeveless top, high waisted distressed denim and gold-cuffed flats. The denim gives a subtle punch of colour and a chunky neckless would be less cumbersome than a tote, which is why I finished the assembled look with a clear handbag.

Anyway just want to wish you all a happy new year!

Lots of love,
