The Culottes

So this is one of my first new purchase working back at Topshop, I haven't even got my discount card yet but I couldn't resist! They are so comfy yet look really dressy and chic! I love the very small textured pleat also, hopefully you can make it out on the images (I think I might invest in a new camera for blogging at Christmas for clearer quality, the iPhone 6 is good but isn't sharp enough).

I decided to go for a dressy yet laid back look today, I teamed the culottes with two items that look very 'Topshopey' however aren't! (See below). And my favourite go to suede jacket.

If you live in Manchester you must head to Topshop Arndale not only for the fab new autumn/winter clothing but for a free makeover! Yes you heard it right... FREE and the girls are amazing! They are also really knowledgeable about all the products and are happy to give any makeup tips/advice!

The Striped Dress, (featuring menswear)

So as mentioned in my previous post I am working at Topshop again and I end up wanting and buying most of the clothes and spending the majority of my wage on them! I have my uniform allowance which has increased to 5 pieces at 60% off which is fab aswell as 25%.

The outfit I wore to work today was bought with a gift card as a leaving gift from boohoo which was lovely.

It's from Topshop's boutique collection which I have always been a fan of! I just wish some of the stuff wasn't so expensive. However this little Autumn number was £45 but I think that's reasonable as it is a really good quality material and I do love stripes.

Jumper dress: Topshop Boutique 

Black fedora: Primark

Pointed boots: Boohoo

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs 

I would also like to feature my lovely boyfriend in this post. He has a slick yet edgy sense of style and always looks on trend in his own individual style, which can depend on the season. Personally I think the way someone dresses says a lot about them as a person and how they express their individuality, I like the way Jon mixes things up like myself. He is going for a smart casual look in the below outfit.

For any male readers out there or menswear fashion enthusiasts like myself, places of purchase are:

Bomber jacket: Topman Premium

Long sleeve shirt: Allsaints

Slim fit jeans: Nudie Jeans

Brogues: Grenson (Harvey Nichols)

Watch: Guess, Ring: Afflex palace (Mcr)

Day dreaming

So after finishing placement and getting back in Topshop part time - ready for final year (gulp), I'm not working everyday 9-6 now so I have more spare time on my hands. Which has been nice to chill before the hard work kicks in again in september! I've just been seeing family & friends going out, lunching, and dog sitting! Which isn't too bad when your dog is as cute as my families, he's one big baby! An American Bull Dog.

I have still been summer lusting though. Because we haven't had the best summer for weather this year, just odd days! Where's the consistency Mr sunshine? Although I have been very lucky this year with holidays, going to New York! (which I miss so much!) And Croatia, I feel like I haven't had enough sun and relaxing time on a beach. As Croatia was a week long festival! Well a girl can wish even if it's for a few days before I go back to uni... We'll see. (This is why I need to be a lady of leisure who can jet off whenever she pleases).

So this post is just about summer/fashion lusting. Images sourced below from one of my favourite blogs 'theyallhateus' and other pinterest sources - I'm obsessed!

Enjoy! xo
