I won't go into detail on every outfit as I sort of stayed in the same style the whole time (pretty, casual, simple) until the night I wore the last outfit pictured above. Now part of the reason I have such a huge shopping addiction is because I forbid outfit repeating so every-time I need something for a special occasion I will buy something new.. That was until I purchased this playsuit. It's from ASOS, it's heavily embellished with silver and pearly beads, it has an open back and a lightweight chiffon underlay. I originally purchased this as my birthday outfit and wore it with silver peep-toe platforms for a night out. I love it so much I just couldn't leave it behind! I tried to tone it down with my Zara flatforms but it still looked super glam to the point that I felt slightly overdressed for dinner haha!

I nearly cried uploading these photos as I'm currently suffering from a serious case of the holiday blues. I went on holiday for two weeks so this is less than half of the outfits I wore whilst away, but in all honesty I'm not one for dressing up every night and I doubt anyone wanted to see me in a swing vest, denim shorts and sandals that much. A massive thank-you to my boyfriend who stood for hours in total trying to get a photo that I liked (which if you know me you'll know is borderline impossible, I find fault in every photo of me ever taken).. So, props to Cianan!

It was such a lovely holiday, and like I said I'm hating being home! We stayed in the Dream Gran Castillo 5* Resort in Lanzarote and it was so beautiful, definitely lived up to the reviews and my expectations. I'm already thinking about where to go next year!

As the weather changes so do our wardrobes, obviously. Or we'd never be comfortable or at a stable body temperature.. The past few months were all about building my holiday wardrobe before I went away. I'm back now, it's September, it's miserable, and I'm in desperate need of some new A/W staples. Whilst on holiday I found a ZARA, I swear I wasn't looking for it aha. I ended up buying a leather biker jacket and two blazers, which doesn't really make sense in the 40 degree heat I was experiencing, but they've helped me out so much since I've been back. I have clear-outs so often I hardly have any clothes left from last autumn/winter, so if we experience a huge drop in temperature I'm screwed.

I picked the above after a quick glance at the site, with a bit more time there probably would've been loads on this list as I haven't shopped in Topshop for ages! These are all basic staples that could be worn over and over again for countless different looks - that's exactly what I'm about right now. Smart casual tops have always been my thing anyway but I'm loving these drape blouses, I already have the white version of this. Faux furs will never go out of style and glam up any outfit, put it over a pair of jeans and converse and you instantly feel a little more girly. And these boots, oh-em-gee. I am in love! They're out of stock at the moment but I've set up an email reminder, the second these come back I'm snapping them up. As for the jeans, since the whole ripped knee trend started this summer (which I hopped on like there was no tomorrow) I've felt as though plain jeans just aren't doing it anymore, so boring and just blurgh.. So I'd love to add these babies to my collection. Saving the best 'till last, this jacket/waistcoat is my favourite item I've come across in weeks across all brands, it's just so me and I need it in my life.

I'm trying not to shop as much because I have a super busy year next year to start saving for, but little treats every now and then won't kill me and I definitely can't live without all of this.. So watch this space!
