Winter OOTD Ft. Newlook

I have been wearing this outfit and ones similar to it so often recently as it is quite chilly in Manchester. Newlook as well as Primark, have a great range of winter clothing that will last! I love oversized coats (I need a black one!) with jeans, boots and a knitted snood, it is such a cosy outfit that is a staple for me in the colder months. 

Top: Primark

*Jeans: Newlook

Snood: Primark

Coat: Newlook (sale)

Boots: Newlook (old)

I have three pairs of Newlook jeans now, two of which I bought myself recently and I was kindly sent this pair which are the *Newlook Petite Dark Blue Acid Wash Skinny Jeans (£22.99, UK 10) which are stretchy, comfortable and I love the subtle acid wash finish. They are petite but as I'm tiny they are still a bit too long so I roll them up; however because I have to do this they do bunch up at the seams as you can see - this doesn't really happen with the other two pairs of Newlook jeans I have though. They go with a lot of casual outfits but they could also be dressed up with black heels, a white blouse and a statement necklace. 

These photos were taken a few days ago as our garden is now a winter wonderland!

What do you think of my outfit of the day? Have you tried any jeans from Newlook?

Newlook Sale Dresses

When the Newlook midseason sale started just over one week ago I did go a little crazy, I bought three dresses, two jumpers, a pair of grey flats and a pair of boots. A top and the boots had to go back but here are the dresses that I bought in the sale. You may still be able to find the dresses in stores, although it can be difficult to find great items in the Newlook sales in the stores - too messy! 

Outfit one - Elephant Print Dress (£14.99, reduced to £7). Sadly this dress is not on the website anymore but there is a similar black version. I went a little bit dress crazy but I just loved the print of this dress. The material is really smooth and silky and the dress fits really well. This is my first purchase from the Newlook petite range and I am very happy with the dress!

Outfit two - Red Floral Smock Dress (£17.99, reduced to around £6): A lot of the dresses in the Newlook sale when it started online were only about £5 or £6 each thats why I bought three! Even though I cannot find this exact dress online there are a lot on the website that look very similar. I love the colour, print and the style of this dress. The only problem for me is the waist, it is not elasticated so it is difficult to take off, even though it is a UK 8 so I would probably size up if you find this dress. 

Outfit three - Grey 2 in 1 T-Shirt Dress (£17.99, reduced to £10): This dress is still in stock on the website! I love this dress, it is my favourite out of the three - the way it fits me and the way it hangs is really nice. It is super comfy and casual. I paired it with my *Delilah Dust Quartz necklace and my Black Tied Circle Necklace. 

All of my outfits are paired with my Select (Yoox) black velvet wedges and my *Oroblu tights from Luxury Legs. The faux leather jacket is from Promod. All photographs were taken by my sister who has her own student/lifestyle blog, click here to check it out. 

What do you think of these dresses? Have you bought anything in the recent sales?

Wish List #1

Here is my current wish list, with clothing, accessories, makeup and games that I have been obsessing over for the past couple of weeks and I really want to buy them all!

Above images from: Urban outfitters, New Look, Superdrug and Play.com

1. Urban Outfitters Cobalt Persian Eternity Scarf: I have wanted this snood for at least two weeks and I haven't bought it yet but I think I will have to...look how gorgeous it is! It is £16 with my student discount. I think it would look great with a plain white or grey top and jeans. 

2. New Look Stripe Jumper: This is a sale item and it has been in stock for about a week, I keep almost buying it but I have a lot of stripy tops already...but whats one more! I think I am going to get this, especially as it is on sale and..gorgeous.

3. New Look Charcoal Over sized Knitted Top: again another new look sale jumper, I love it! I think I'm going to Newlook tomorrow so I will have to look out for this. 

4. Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation: At first I didn't want this as I read a review that said it clung to dry patches but this product has been in so my peoples favourites videos and posts recently so I think I will have to get it - in Superdrug it is on offer for £6.99. 

5. Tomb Radier, Xbox 360: I loved the original Tomb Raider PC games which I had when I was a teenager. This game was being released it did excite the geeky gamer in me - its an origins game, so how Lara became the way she is. It has received a lot of good reviews but I will have to wait for the price to go down before I buy it as it is around the £35 mark.

What is on your wish list?
