Neon affair

Always have and always will love my bright colours in particular neon yellows and pinks. 






 
I'm loving silver accessories at the moment, I have been dying to get my hands on this silver backpack from newlook I think it's so cool and really does add some sass to any outfit wether casual or dressed up.







My whole outfit was based around my dress which I purchased a few years ago from primark but never got around to wearing it, I hate waisting clothes and believe it's not always about buying new clothes sometimes you just need some new accessories to bring an outfit back to life.

I'm such a bargain hunter when it comes to fashion I don't believe you have to spend loads of money to look good it's all about how you style it.

Dress primark 

Blazer Newlook sales £7.00
Also got a neon yellow one for same price.

Shoes Newlook sales £6.00 can't believe I only paid £6 for these shoes I was on a mission to find a pair of silver shoes and found these, don't you just love it when you think your paying full price for an item  than get to the till to find out it's gone in the sale.

Silver rucksack Newlook £19.99

Autumn wish list



So what's on your wish list this Autumn?

So every girl has a wish list and if your anything like me you will be outfit planning around them before you have even made a purchase. 

As much as I love fashion I can be a bit tight when it comes to buying new season trends as much as I would love to splurge I have my lil family to put first so I'm always on the hunt for alternatives at affordable prices, let's face it we are not all rich but that doesn't mean we still can't look good.

"It's not what you wear it's about how you wear it"

Everyone seems to be lushing over these grafea bags as cute and pretty as they are with a price tag starting from £180 I think il leave it out!


However I've been fixated on finding a silver metallic bag to go with my silver shoes and finally found one in newlook for only £19.99 

Not quite the same style but I still really like the whole concept of it.







So that's my bag sorted now for a coat
And jacket.

Every girl should own a biker jacket it just adds rock chic status to any outfit I personally think the older the better I hate a fresh biker jacket but unfortunately my old one got ruined so I need to find another one I'm quite fussy when it comes to biker jackets I like to be able to roll up the sleeves and have a certain fit to it. 

I still can't find the perfect biker jacket but  I'm liking this missguided one for now but  it's not even in stock in my size so thumbs down!!



 
Faux leather biker jacket £44.99
Missguided 



This jacket would of gone perfect with these newlook biker boots that I'm kicking myself for not buying as at the time of seeing them it was full blown summer so didn't seem right at the time.

£34.99 New look 


Zara trench coat £159.99

Primark boxy pastel coat £25

Let's talk about coats I'm so undecided on these ones as much as I love them I attend no to go for long coats as being a little shorty I find I look like I'm drowning in them but I know somewhere out there, their is one with my name on it. I will find it lol!! 

Faux Fur will forever be my favourite autumn / winter essential I just love it despite the fact that every time I wear it I feel like I'm getting fur balls in my throat I'm hoping someone else out their can relate to that! 


River island £84.99

It was love at first sight as soon as a tried it on and the picture doesn't even show how stunning this coat is I tried it on in oxford street river island but doesn't seem to be in any other stores local to me so patiently waiting and hoping it goes on their website.

 Can't go wrong with a monochrome fur coat.

H&M fur coat £29.99


Pastels seem to still be going strong into winter I think this is lovely makes a change from the usual black or brown fur coats.

Zara pastel fur coat £69.99

This post could go on forever and forever but I'm sure you get the jist of some of the things I want to add to my wardrobe feel free to share with me your autumn wishlist.
