My Week In Instagram Photos
I suppose I never really do much 'personal' posts but I'm getting really into all these photo applications at the moment. I've always loved Instagram (oh yes everybody i've only just started it using it properly as I have two accounts so FOLLOW ME all you lovely instagramers?!)
These photos are from the past two weeks...
1. Me and Lydia made quite possibly the best brownies in the world. (They are based on Jamie Oliver's Bloomin Brilliant Brownie Recipe) and I've never had so many compliments for food I've baked. The original recipe says add nuts and dates but we added galaxy, white chocolate and M&M's (perfect alternative)
2. Chilling with my friend Ruth (we love Instagram woo!)
3. This photos on halloween, I had my face painted like a cat!
4. My new shoes from Linzi Shoes.
5. I bought 10 Nail Art pens! (yes 10!) and my money has never been so well spent. If you follow me on Twitter and on Facebook you'll know how much I love my black nail art pen and seen all the designs I've done thanks to it! So It's great to have 9 more colours to experiment with!
6. An App called 'Incredibooth' was free for the weekend on the App Store it's amazing! And this is me and two of my sisters messing about on the App!
7. One of my best friends Emily decided to have a formal birthday party and so this is me and Lydia before we went to her party.
8. And here's us at the party with another close friend of ours Jimmy! (with a formal dress code the guys had to wear suits it was like reliving prom...)
9. Most of you regular followers will have seen both these photos! These are my current nails (thanks to my black and white nail art pens) and so many of you lot seem to love my nails and this is quite a simple aztec print design (YES I did say simple!) so I'm not sure if I should do tutorials?!
10. These are some other new shoes of mine from Topshop... Oh the studs... so much love for them! I think pretty much every blogger seems to have these. Now I have my hands on a pair I know why! They really are the best shoes ever!
How's your week been? You done any cooking/baking been to any parties?

Little Mix have the Fashion Factor
I've never really liked any bands on The Xfactor until this year. I've loved Rhythmix (Now Little Mix) since they were first put together as a 'Group' on The Xfactor as each girl had auditioned seperately originally. They just worked so well and bring a completely different edge and look to any other girlband. What I've noticed they always look amazing! I don't think they get credited enough for how good they always seem to look.
Ever since their first performance at the Judges houses they've all looked gorgeous!
With their unique style and approach to music they're the only girl group to go so far in the X factor! (totally want them to win)
They have quite an street and quirky look and never seem to be afraid of being daring with their fashion choices. I love how they pair items of clothing you wouldn't normally pair together and make them look amazing such as aztec print hareem pants and a basic zip up hoody.
There's not a girlband in the UK like them so there's a huge gap in the market for them so I think they'll go really far!
Each week I love their performances and they bring some fun into The X factor.
I think for once The Xfactor stylists have done well for an act, I usually hate their styling but I absolutely love what they've done to Little Mix!

Winter Essentials from La Redoute
At this time of year I'm looking for a lot of casual wear. Jumpers, Snood, Coats & Boots and when I'm online shopping I usually check a lot of Womens Clothing retailers to see what they have on offer. I think it's a must to check as many retailers as you can before you purchase as a lot of retailers sell 'similar' products nowadays and for different prices. I also think about value for money and of course quality. I think it's easier to forget some online retailers as they may be branded as having an 'older' target market. Infact these brands are just as good as your typical Republic, Miss Selfridge, Primark and Topshop. I think La Redoute is a brand which could be forgotten about but after having a good look around the site I've come across some absolutely gorgeous jumpers... I think I might need one...
(L-R) Slashneck Lambswool Sweater - £25
Striped Sweater - £13
Slashneck Cable Knit Sweater - £35
&
Striped Cable Knit Sweater - £29
I was looking for some winter boots and I've come across these bargain fake uggs... They come in 4 colours too I think I might get a couple of pairs for this winter!
My favourite are the Chesnut brown pair and guess how much they are?! Only £7.50 a pair!
Another essential this winter Is a snood. I bought a couple last winter and I'm wearing them again as It's freezing outside! I think it's good not to just get them in a typical 'black' or 'cream' and to go for some colours you wouldn't usually go for. I've got a lilac snood and a dark orange one and believe it or not they go with a lot of things!
La Redoute have some gorgeous snoods and here are my favourites:
(L-R) Ellos Snood - £19
Ellos Chunky Knit Snood - £7
Cable Knit Snood - £21
Snoods are perfect for layering and will keep you very warm this winter!
Which is your favourite jumper? Have you got some UGGS/fake uggs? Do you have a snood yet? Have you checked out La Redoute before?

Leopard Print Blouse
This is not something I'd normally think about wearing especially colour wise If I saw it in a shop I'd probably walk past it and not even take a look. This was such a different purchase for me as it's something I'd really not go for. I saw it on a mannequin in Topshop in Manchester and It looked gorgeous with black shorts and I thought why not try it on. As soon as I tried it on I was in love...
As soon as I tried it on I loved it. I think it's one of those items of clothing you either love it or you hate it. This was a 'love it' moment.
I am wearing the sleeveless blouse with a black bodycon skirt (as featured in my last blog post!)
You can't see it that well but the blouse has a double peterpan velvet collar. Peterpan collars seem to have come back into fashion this season! The collar really makes the blouse stand out (not just by it's colour). I don't really go for high necklines so this was a big difference!
This blouse I think was £28 but with student discount I paid £25 something... and it's from Topshop. I wore it recently to London for some press days with a pair of jeans. It's weird how you think you won't wear something and then you wear it all the time!
This sleeveless blouse has a gorgeous leopard print on it and It goes so well with dark blue and black garments!
What do you think of the blouse? Do you like Peterpan collars?

3 ways to wear: A Wine Coloured Tee
This 3/4 sleeve tee is a perfect wardrobe staple and when I saw this 'wine' coloured tee shirt by American Vintage I just had to have it!
Recently I've had a few readers contact me asking me to do more 'ways to wear' posts. I think an item of clothing shouldn't just be for the 'one' occasion and that you should wear it as many times as you can and in as many different ways. With tops like this they are quite versatile and easy to wear all year round. Here are just a few ways I would wear this top!
Top - American Vintage, Leggings - Topshop.
This top is long enough to wear with leggings so I've just teamed it with a pair of basic black leggings from Topshop. I wear black leggings pretty much everyday and to college this outfits perfect with a pair of flat ankle boots!
Top - American Vintage, Flag Print Shorts - Topshop
Another thing I love about this 3/4 tee is that it's the type of t-shirt which looks amazing with a pair of shorts/hotpants. I love Topshop hotpants so I've teamed this tee with my favourite pair of flag print shorts!
Top - American Vintage, Skirt - H&M
For a more elegant look you can team this tee with a basic black bodycon skirt. This skirt was a bargain buy when I was last in H&M and was £3.99! I love wearing this skirt at the moment with thick woolly tights and a baggy jumper. I think this top would look great with a baggy jumper as it's super cold outside right now!

Fall Finds at Zara
Since Zara's windows are often a source of inspiration for me, I'm sharing four recent photos I took there on a shopping trip last week. Although I walked out empty handed, I spotted a few things that caught my eye, including a gray fleece dress (chicer than it sounds), some colorful skinny jeans, the lace pencil skirt in the first photo, suede wedge boots, 1960s shift dresses, and some snake
