chunky grey knit // candle // foundation // turtleneck sweater // leather jacket // sleeveless coat // knee-high boots // macbook air // chelsea boots // saffiano tote // phone case // corduroy skirt
This month's wishlist features a combination of high end and high street pieces- working in a designer consignment shop has really opened my eyes to a lot of expensive pieces! As Winter approaches, I'm lusting after lots of leather and chunky knits. I lost my trusty leather jacket last week, so I'm on the hunt for a new one- this Acne studios one is the dream. As I'm starting college at the end of the month, a MacBook Air would be extremely useful (and for blogging too) so that's the first thing I'll be saving up for this season!

Hey everyone,
Exams are finally over, which means I'm finally free for a week! I have been waiting for this week for so long, not only because of the lack of school, but also because of my upcoming trip to London. Myself and my mam had been planning to go over as a sort of post-mocks/birthday present (I turned 17 on Saturday FYI), and London Fashion Week just happened to be on at the same time. I applied for a tonne of invites, expecting to receive none, and all of a sudden my 3 day trip is set to be a whirlwind weekend! I almost have to pinch myself when I think about it. It's been my dream to go since forever, and I still can't believe I'm actually going. I have yet to decide what shows I'm heading to, as we're trying to fit in some tourist-y bits too, but it's set to be a good weekend without doubt/
I'm going to be posting about the shows I've been to, the clothes I'm wearing and the street style, but I thought I'd start off my LFW series with a wishlist. I'm only going to be there for the first two days of fashion week, but I'm also heading to a pre-LFW party. I've been trying to piece together some outfits in my head and it's proving to be a hard choice, so I decided to put together a wishlist of things I'd love to be wearing on the streets of London this season.
clockwise l-r: fluffy bag, fedora hat, sunglasses, suede skirt, fluffy heels, strawberry clutch, houndstooth coat, ripped boyfriend jeans.
If it's not pretty clear from the collage above- I absolutely adore faux fur. I've been lusting after a fluffy bag and shoes for ages now. They're so Clueless inspired, and remind me of this post I wrote last year. I already own a black faux fur coat but this houndstooth printed one is so different and beautiful. Something quite basic that I've been longing for is a pair of boyfriend jeans. I'm not really a big jeans wearer, but I love my mom jeans, and a pair of ripped boyfriend ones are the next ones on my list. A new pair of sunglasses is a must have for that pesky sun that's trying to break through these awful February skies, and these Prada ones are beautifully out of my price range... I'm also in need of a new fedora hat like this one from H&M. Lastly, a 70s-esque suede tan skirt and a strawberry clutch bag are also something I'd love to wear- and that New Look clutch is adorable!

Hey everyone,
The over the knee boot has been everywhere lately, and I've been lusting after a pair for so long! I'm still trying to find the right pair for me, and I'm hoping I find my dream pair before Christmas. Over the knee boots can be quite a tricky trend to master- a lot of people fear that they'll make them look shorter. If worn a certain way, they can actually elongate your legs!
There are so many ways you can wear thigh high boots, so there's certainly a look to suit everyone. My favorite way to style them is with an over-sized knit and a slouchy shoulder bag- effortlessly chic! Or you could wear them with an equally bang on trend blanket cape. Your favorite little black black dress and a cute clutch. Skinny jeans and a sweater- the possibilities are endless!
.. and here's my top picks from the high street!

Gone are the days of short looking pins and the fear of looking like a hooker- the over the knee boot has taken the fashion world by storm.
Will you be testing this trend this season?

Hey everyone,
I was sorting through some old photos and I came across these outfit shots I took a month or two ago and completely forgot to share with you! It was during that awkward time when Summer was yet to leave, but it was not yet Autumn. That said, it definitely seems like something I could still wear now. I thrifted these Kurt Geiger shoes for a mere €3, and the frilly socks just look super cute with it, don't you think? I decided to mix textures by wearing two different finishes of leather- my patent skirt from River Island and trusty jacket from Penneys. Since these pictures were taken, my hair has changed colour- yay! There's not much of a difference but I'm finally free from failed ombré attempts, and I've gone for an all over mahagony-purple-brown.
Clothes aside, Gaga was amazing on Friday, as expected! I queued for 7 hours and ended up about 5 or 6 rows from the front so it was totally worth it. Seeing my idol on stage for the first time in two years made me really overwhelmed, but I'd do anything to go back-sigh.
Shirt, jacket & socks- Penneys/Primark
Skirt- River Island
Shoes- Kurt Geiger, thrifted
Necklace- Eleanor Hall Jewellery*
What do you think about wearing double (even triple, including my shoes!) leather?
