Boohoo Boots

I've spent the whole week lusting over my sister's boots which I saw last weekend and now I am currently in the state of student money blues- until today. While internet window shopping (which has made me even more depressed) I found a pair of boots similar to my sisters. The best part is they are nearly half the price. I always look on www.boohoo.com but never actually buy anything and I don't know why, yet after seeing these, a purchase maybe in the near future and when I mean near I mean over this weekend as there is currently 20% off all footwear until Sunday. Perhaps there is a student God who listens to my prayers.



What I like most about these boots is that there is the right amount of studs, the shoe isn't too cluttered and they don't look like cheap tacky knock offs. They are a good pair of boots at a really good price, you can't go wrong.

 

Oh no I've only go and spotted another pair of boots I like. They are similar to the Zara ones I have been obsessing over but again at a fraction of the cost. Boohoo you have saved my day and my bank balance.

 

On another note my stud obsession is getting out of hand.

Outfit Lust of the Week

    I may be a student but at least I can lust over clothes I can't afford and dream of outfits that I wish were hanging beautifully in my wardrobe. Today as I sit slumped in bed trying to nurse my cold away and catching up on the latest fashion comings and goings I find myself scrolling through internet shopping websites, well should I say internet window shopping and conjuring up outfit ideas in my head. Here's an outfit I put together, now I just need the bank balance to cover it.

What do you all think of it?

H&M new buys

Yesterday when I visited the Little Black Jacket Exhibition and went to Camden I popped into H&M. One thing I love about the Camden H&M store is the difference in clothes you find compared to a store for instance in Surrey. This store clearly target markets its Camden demographic and provides clothes which create a more edgy street wear look. I only went in there to look for a cheap beanie hat but on arrival I spotted sparkly disco pants (my absolute love at the moment) and a jumper- it was only £9.99 I couldn't resist. Despite my bank balance being unhappy at least my wardrobe is happy and being a fashion journalism student my clothes are very important- well that is what I keep telling myself anyway.

I wore my new jumper today paired with wet look leggings, my new beanie hat, a leather jacket and heeled Chelsea boots to complete my look.

The Little Black Jacket

After studying fashion journalism for more than a month now I decided to make the most of living near London and visited the Saatchi Gallery to see The Little Black Jacket Chanel exhibition with my friend. When we arrived at the gallery which is set in the beautiful gardens of Chelsea I knew we were going to have a good day, especially when we were allowed to take photos inside the exhibit. The photography was simple yet charismatic, the models all of which were celebrities, models, actors and actresses revisited the versatility of the classic Chanel black jacket and brought to life the essence of Chanel. While walking around admiring the photos I started to wonder how long it took Karl Lagerfield to create this exhibition and how he decided who to photograph.

 

Once seeing the exhibition we decided to venture to Camden. Having not been there in ages I forgot how cheap and different the town is to the rest of London. Wandering through the market stalls with my senses filled with the smell of Chinese food and incense it was a perfect end to my day especially when my craving for Chinese food got fulfilled as I sat eating a mound of noodles and chicken by the lock. Its times like this when I'm glad I live so close to London and the abundance of style it cultivates- from Chelsea and classic Chanel to Camden and quirky finds you'll always find style.

My day can only be summarized by the famous Chanel quote: "Fashion fades, only style remains the same."

Quote of my day

Recently, my Mum bought me a Anna Sui Fashion Ideas note book as a kind of late leaving present for university. So as I sat down to do some work today I thought I would put my new book to good use. When flicking through the decorated pages I noticed that scattered throughout the notebook were quotes from the fashion designer. Here is one which I feel epitomises my journey through university at the moment.

 

 

 

Daily Wear

Rushing to uni, terrified of being late for this particular lecturer as he may throw blue-tac at you or lock the door so you are left with the embarrassment of the whole auditorium staring at you I quickly get dressed. Having seen the dreary autumn day outside my window I decided to stick to autumnal colours. The standard tan colour. I paired by skirt with my trusty M&S black crop top, that is literally my saviour for every outfit, my new shoes (studded of course) and my leopard print skinny belt. I only wish it made my bloated stomach skinny. Feeling the cold air outside, I grabbed my oversized black scarf as I ran out the door in a hopefully stylish hurry.

Home Time

Last weekend having spent 5/6 weeks at uni I decided to venture back home to Essex. Back to home comforts, back to my bed and back to home cooked food. As I lay snuggled on my sofa wrapped in a blanket like ol'times my sister strolled in wearing a new pair of studded River Island boots. Within an instant the blanket was off me and I was up staring at her new purchase as my eyes filled with jealously. What with my current boots falling apart and these new studded beauties gloating at me I couldn't help but calculate in my head if my student loan would stretch to buy these £75 boots. I then had to slap myself and wake up to the reality that I am actually student and can't afford luxuries like these. Oh well a girl can dream and I will definitely be dreaming about these boots. Perhaps I'll just have to sneak them in my bag when I next go home.
