Autumn Essentials ft. SammyDress

Autumn is here and I'm loving it! I love the dark evenings, chilling mornings, all of the gorgeous honey coloured leaves and my autumnal cozy outfits *although there is one thing I don't like about autumn, being blinded while driving by other headlights!*. 

I was very kindly sent a few items from the people at Sammydress and I'm loving all of them so today's post, which is annoyingly late, is all about the items I chose from Sammydress and how I have been wearing them over the past week or so! My favourite items are definitely the pretty jacket and the checked dress. 

*Sammydress Yellow Faux Leather Jacket ($28.31 - M)

I have wanted a coloured faux leather jacket for the longest time and I've seen few that I've liked on Zara but I didn't know if it would suit me so I'm glad that I've been able to try this one and I love it! I am petite so I find jackets arms can be really long on me but this one fits me perfectly without any altering at all! I love the colour, the design, it's comfortable; I cannot recommend it enough. I think it pairs really well with monochrome outfits. If you are a UK size 8 or 10 then the Medium size for this jacket will be perfect. 

The photos of this dress, bag and the amazing tee are all taken with my new Canon 750D camera and I am so happy with the photos and the quality - what do you think? I'm either wearing pyjamas or a dress, I'm constantly wearing dresses so when I have to opportunity to choose clothing, I'm always going to choose a dress.

*Sammydress Black and White Checked Dress ($15.16)

I love anything with a plaid/tartan/check pattern, whichever you want to call it, as it's the perfect print for the autumn and winter months - I also love monochrome so it's right up my street. The material is soft, thicker than I thought it would be and the dress is really well made. I adore the pockets (why don't all dresses have pockets?!) and it's so comfortable, particularly with tights and ankle boots.

*Sammydress Tassel Bag ($13.78 - Tan)

As well as dresses, I love bags - I have quite a few but I obviously need more! I love the colour of this bag, it's a gorgeous autumnal shade and I love the design too. The design and shape of the bag is really unique, I haven't see anything like it before. It doesn't quite fit everything I like to carry with me (although to be fair, I do always carry too much) but it is durable and it has a zipper. The only problem I have with this bag is the scent, it has a strong faux leather or PU scent which I am trying to get rid of because I love the bag but I don't want to use it with that scent.

Last but not least, I have a gorgeous tee which is similar is the tee's I've reviewed already from Sammydress. On a sidenote, how adorable is this giant pinecone decoration, it's so cute! I'm really loving this second outfit, it's exactly the kind of outfit I would wear constantly throughout autumn and winter with the addition of a black faux leather jacket and scarf.

*Sammydress Short Sleeve Tee ($6.80)

I want to say how soft and cozy this tee is, I am so impressed with the quality of this and the other tee's from Sammydress that I've tried and I cannot recommend them enough - especially for the price!  Sarcasm is bascially a second language for me so this tee is perfect; it's a great tee when you are having a cozy day as it's great for lounge wear!

Overall, again I'm so impressed with the quality of all of the items I've tried from Sammydress! I particularly love the tee, dress and the jacket and I know I will get so much use out of them probably until the spring. I cannot recommend Sammydress enough. Also I'm loving my new Canon 750D camera!

Autumn Haul ft. Sammydress

Autumn is here and I couldn't be happier to see the end of summer as the weather over the past few months has been so muggy, humid and warm which I hate! It's started to become chilly and I love it as it means, layering, tights, boots and all of the knitwear I could possible wear. I was very kindly sent a few autumnal products to try out from the lovely people at Sammydress.

The first item I chose was the *Sammydress Short Sleeve Flare Red Dress ($10.43) which is the kind of dress I wear pretty much everyday. I love t-shirt dresses, they are so quick and easy to style and they are so comfortable too; plus they hide food babies really well...The colour is perfect for the autumnal and christmassy seasons. I've just paired it with black tights (Primark, obviously), Newlook ankle boots and my Newlook faux leather jacket.

My favourite item is something I wouldn't usually choose but I'm in love with it; the *Sammydress Crossbody Star Bag ($12.88) which is just perfect. The bag came so cutely packaged, I think the brand logo is a bear and it's adorable. The bag is bigger than I thought it would be, it's also really thick, durable and sturdy. It comes in gold, silver and black, I love the gold, it's gorgeous! I will be using this bag so much throughout halloween, christmas and new year.

The last three items are gorgeous t-shirts that are perfect for layering and more importantly lounge wear because lets be honest, the autumn/winter months are ALL for lounge wear and cozy pyjamas! My favourite t-shirt is the *Sammydress Letter Print T-Shirt ($8.22) which is currently sold out in the size I have which is M, medium. The T-Shirt says 'Awkward Is My Speciality', well it spells speciality differently but I am still getting so much use out of this tee. The slogan couldn't sum me up better; also the fabric is SO soft!

I also have the *Sammydress Simple Scoop Neck T-Shirt ($6.74) which is also so so soft, it looks and feels like it is from Topshop! I love the simple design, it is perfect for everyday and lounge wear. The last one I had to get because it's a bit halloweeny (if that is even a word!?); the *Sammydress Alien Print T-Shirt ($10.92) which is a 'one size' T-Shirt. The fit isn't great on me, it's a little short and a little tight and I'm a UK size 8-10, I'm still going to wear it as I LOVE the little alien and raglan design.

Overall, I love all but one of the items, the one I wasn't crazy about is the alien t-shirt and that's just because of the fit, not the quality or design. I am so happy with the dress, bag and grey T-Shirts and I can't recommend them enough! The quality is fantastic, I love the simple designs and the prices are amazing! Sammydress also has an app which you can download from the app store.
