 This weeks choice of nails // Film developing at university

 Red sky at night // Treats from Daniel 

 12 free doughnuts // Wrapped up to go and photograph Ironbridge

 Warning signs in Ironbridge // Date night!  

 Finally got all three Gaultier bottles // Trying on jumpers

I've been slacking on the blogging front since I realised my university projects are due in in under a month, the stress has officially set in! So I'm preparing myself for some long days at university and a lot of dates with my camera. I've also decided this week I'm going to leave my Christmas shopping until after I've broken up for Christmas and just do it all in one day. 

This week I'm putting my Christmas tree up and planning a trip to Birmingham to the German Market on Saturday with Daniel, expect an Instagram overload! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Still waiting for the snow to fall

 shirt: H&M

jumper: H&M

shorts: Tammy @ BHS

jacket: ebay

boots: H&M

rings: H&M, Matalan

I knew I wanted to wear this jumper and shorts today, but when I put it on, the jumper looked odd without some sort of collar poking out the neckline. I tried on a denim shirt, then a white shirt, then I saw my little mint top and thought the mint/burgundy combination would be heavenly!

You can tell how old these shorts are, just by the fact that they are from Tammy! I don't even know if BHS still has a Tammy section in it. I have seen some tweed shorts that look quite nice, but why fix what's not broken? These shorts are still going strong so we'll hang in there.

 Q1: What item of clothing do you love to wear in winter but wouldn't be seen wearing in public?

I would have to say my dressing gown. It is the first thing I put on when I get home and the last thing I take off before I climb into bed. Everyone else would probably have a onesie for this purpose but I never really jumped on that hype.

Q2: Most wanted item for autumn/winter?

There are so many things I want this season! The perfect party dress for a start! Along with a black fur coat and a never ending supply of woolly jumpers!

Q3: Favourite boots to wear in the winter?

Normally I like flat ankle boots. Last year I lived in my H&M Chelsea Boots, but this year I've really been getting my wear out of my H&M heels. I was never aware of how comfortable they actually are to wear as everyday footwear.

Q4: Are you a fan of UGG boots?

Most definitely not. I think I had a cheap pair of Primark ones when I was about 14, but never again would they ever come near m wardrobe.

Q5: It's snowing/raining outside, what are you favourite wellies to wear?

I don't own a pair of wellies, but if I did they would be your classic green colour and I'd forever be reaching for them in this British winter time.

Q6: What is your favourite autumn trend?

I love the military trend, although I don't really tend to shop by trend. I shop more for certain pieces that I've been lusting after and that I know will fit in with the rest of my wardrobe

Q7: What is your typical winter day consisting of?

At the moment everyday seems to consist of university or work. And if I'm not doing them then I'm working on my photography projects at home. My typical Christmas Eve would consist of lazing around on the sofa and watching endless cooking programs with Dad.

Q8: Cup of tea, hot chocolate, or coffee?

I like the occasional hot chocolate, especially Costa's festive Honeycomb hot chocolate

Q9: Do you like or dislike that it's starting to get dark?

I love this! It makes it so easier to unwind after work and snuggle up. It also means Christmas is on it's way!

Q10: Christmas is coming, do you have any idea of what you want?

I haven't really asked for anything major this year. I've already had a printer of Mum and Dad and there will still be a million and one things to open Christmas morning. Daniel is getting me a 50mm lens for my Canon, and I'm saving myself for a Macbook Pro so this year I'm pretty much sorted

Company Fashion Forum

 top: Topshop

skirt: Urban Outfitters

jacket: ebay

boots: H&M

necklace: Primark

bag: Primark

faux fur collar: H&M

ring: ebay

I've been going on about my visit to London for long enough now that you're probably glad I'm back. One of the reasons I went was to attend the Company Fashion Forum even at Hackney Picture House. The event was very insightful into getting a job within the fashion industry and I definitely came away even more determined than I already am, especially hearing it first hand from people in the industry. Miss Selfridge's visual merchandiser didn't even go to university!

I had a bit of a panic when it came to packing on Tuesday night and after trying on about 10 different tops I settled for Abi's Topshop basic vest. I love Topshop's basics and I seriously need to invest in some myself; Abi's one grey vest isn't going to get me very far.

I will do a separate post on what I got in my goodie bag, but by golly I got some treats! I hope you've all had a lovely week, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

So ordinary; No mystery

 top: Topshop

blazer: H&M (other colours found here)

jeans: Topshop (other colours found here)

shoes: Primark

necklace: Primark

rings: Primark, eBay

watch: Red Herring @ Debenhams

I noticed that most of the time I post what I wear and where it is from but it has either sold out or wasn't on the website to begin with. So this time I've posted the links to the same item but just not the colours I have.

I can not rave about my Topshop Leigh jeans enough. Compared to my H&M ones they are fabulous. They are a lot more elasticated whereas H&M's tend to be quite tough and just go baggy at the knees after a couple of hours of wear. This post wasn't aimed at slagging off H&M jeans, it's just I own a lot of them and would trade them all in for one pair of Leigh's. When I buy jeans again, I'll be sticking to Topshop, they may be pricier, but I know they will last longer.
