Autumn Essentials #2 (at last)

With Autumn definitely settling in now, I find myself wearing lots of camel/brown colours, in an attempt to match those of the nature around me!
I found this jumper in Zara a couple of weeks ago, I love the shoulder pads, and the material is really nice as well. I got the Mulberry tote bag at Selfridges during Vogue Fashion's Night Out last month (for free!) I love it, it's perfect to fit all my A4 notebooks for uni! The brogues you all know by now, and the jeans and belt are from Primark!
All in all, this is a pretty cheap Autumn outfit :)

I wonder how you are coping with the weather? Eating lots of sweet (or not) food? Staying indoors watching tv? Indulging in some retail therapy? I, for one, chose the latter! ;) See you soon for my latest vintage finds!

Autumn Essentials #1

(very *natural* pose..)

Autumn is fast approaching, and I'm sure you will agree that a new season means new clothes, or at least a few key pieces to last for the season (and hopefully a bit longer). So I thought I'd share with you some of my essentials, starting with camel tapered trousers and dark brown loafers: a rather simple outfit yet one I really like and feel comfortable in!

Trousers: Zara // Tee shirt: Zara // Loafers: vintage // ring: Primark

n.b: I'm afraid my photos are as bad as ever, but I've decided not to let that stop me, and I am determined to make this blog worth reading/seeing!

What are your Autumn essentials?? I'm really curious!

Zara e-shop!

September is here! I'm afraid I haven't written a single article during August, I worked so much.. I have now a new job (yay), and have enrolled at London College of Fashion today (but more on that later!)
For now, let me show you some pieces that I love from Zara Autumn-Winter collection! Their e-shop opened yesterday, and after seeing some of the items below, I decided to have a look IRL.. I must say I could not help to purchase one of them.. Can you guess which one? ;)

- I love this dress because of the colour and shape, it's really feminine and I love the combo white socks/sandals!
- Leopard trousers? So not me, right? That's exactly what I thought when I first saw them, yet I love them and they fit perfectly (this does not mean I bought them hehe)

- The whole military/grunge look is really a major trend, and this parka would be great for Autumn.. Plus I have a newfound obsession for kakhi!
- I love the leather pockets, I think they make this -otherwise- rather plain shirt quite unique!

- Such a cute tweed blazer! It's actually from Zara Kids, they do the same one for women, but at twice the price! So if you're a size 6-8, make sure to have a look there first! Oh, and the blazer has patches!
- Wedge boots, camel colour: sooo perfect (or so I think!)

So, of all these pretty things, which one did I buy today? Make a guess! & if you have been on the website, what do you like best?
