No Place Like Home

During my trip home to Newcastle last weekend I ventured into Topshop to discover they had teamed up with local store Electrik Sheep, I was so excited I picked up a tee as well. This range is exclusive to Electrik Sheep and Topshop Newcastle. It also seemed like the perfect excuse to debut my brand new Marc Jacobs bag.

New Balance Made in England 420

I picked up these New Balance Made in England 420's at an outlet on my travels to Newcastle last weekend for the crazy price of £25. I'm a bit of a trainer lover so the fact that they're on trend at the moment is ok with me and the fact I got them so cheap is a double winner. My Puma's will get a well deserved rest now.

Arm Candy by Marc Jacobs

I decided to treat myself on payday last week with a new addition to my bag collection. This is my first Marc Jacobs bag and I am not disappointed. I love the packaging from MyTheresa so when it arrived yesterday It was like Christmas all over again. The leather is super soft and I cannot wait to take it for an outing very soon. I'll post a pic ASAP!

Baggy Trousers

 

I've been wanting to get involved with the baggy pants gang for a few weeks but all the pairs I fell in love with seemed to come with a hefty price tag, thanks Net-A-Porter for teasing me as usual. So I came to the conclusion that surely a few sizes up would probably do the same job, thank you H&M.  I have this pair in various colours in my correct size and love them and at £24.99 they are a great price. As these trousers have a stretch to them anyway the bottoms are still fitted so they've avoided resembling a pair of 90's leathers.

Winter Wonderland

Incase you haven't looked out of your window I thought I should mention it's snowing outside. I thought moving away from Newcastle that I would dodge such inconvenient weather but I guess I thought wrong! Never one to let the weather get the better of my outfit options I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to wear my Mohair Cardigan. As a shortie it's not always practical to wear but on a snow day it's the perfect way to stay warm and cosy without looking like the the Michelin Man's child and the Mohair fabric is a great way to add texture when wearing head to toe black.

Grey Day

 As a pale Blonde I find it hard to look good in head to toe black, so to give a dark outfit more warmth I like to add various shades of Grey and textures to keep the outfit more Chic than Goth. I purchased this coat from EBay for the bargain price of £40 including postage, I'm going to change the buttons eventually but apart from that the quality doesn't vary from the high street and the shape is just what I was after. As a whole excluding my Givenchy clutch this is a pretty bargain filled outfit, I've been lusting after the Jimmy Choo trainers for some time but I've never been able to bring myself to part with £300+ pounds for trainers when I'm mainly a heel girl. Then as if by magic  a friend told me about this version from Matalan they were £14 but I got them in the sale for £7 and the quality is actually really good. I've already received a few compliments on them, of course I admitted they weren't the real deal. I love them so much I also bought them in Beige so I have the full set.
