Autumn/Winter ready!

So we are saying goodbye summer and hello A/W 14! I'm quite excited, I love being all cosy in winter wearing lovely knitted jumpers, scarves, hats, gloves, winter coats and boots!

Now I am going to show you my latest purchases and show you what my current autumn winter purchases are for this year and where they're from with prices.

Now since working at  River Island I have started to become a bag person! I can't stop buying bags, so many I want. A girl can never have too many bags right? So I saw this one below and I loved the colours, it has handles so I can use it as a handbag or a shoulder strap to wear on my shoulder. I also HAD to get the matching purse too!

Bag - River Island, £40

Purse, River Island, £17

Next up! My gorgeous winter coat! I am in loveeeeee. I originally bought a lovely one from new look but the size 6 was so big it drowned me. I was so disappointed, being so small and petite is not as good as everyone thinks. Although everyone is like I want to be thin, no! You don't it's a nightmare buying clothes that fit nice!

Anyway enough of that rant. This coat is from the Topshop petite range! I ended up getting an 8 as I wanted room to wear my thick knitted jumpers and a petite 8 is like the equivalent of a 6 normal. It fit like a glove, and so did the hood! Hoods are always too big on me but this one was perfect.

I also bought a pastel tartan scarf. I thought the pastels would compliment the navy of the coat and I just loved the pattern and colour of the scarf, I feel I can wear it with so many other items. It's really soft too.

Coat - Topshop Petite, £65

Scarf - River Island, £15

Now we move onto footwear. I already own so many different types of boots such as ugg boots, chelsea boots, military boots, ankle boots. But I just wanted a couple more pairs.

So the knee high boots I actually found in the River Island sale, I am quite lucky as I never find my size in footwear and anything I like either. They were meant to be £60 but in the sale I got them for £18! Bargain.

Then I came across these ankle boots in the kids section, as they were only £22 so were nice to just wear to work. They're really comfy, and they do have some very similar in the adults. It's good because I'm a size 4 and kids go up to a size 4 too!

Knee high boots - River Island, £18 sale

Ankle boots - River Island, £22

Now these beauties.. I have so many heels but I came across these and couldn't help myself! The 'barely there' sandals are so in this season! And I loved the asymmetric strap also going across the shoe giving it  a slightly different look. Cannot wait to wear them.

                                      

Heels - Miss Selfridge, £39

No just a couple of cute pretty tops. If anyone knows me personally will know these are so me! The one on the left is a pastel pink sleeveless top with a floral collar from Topshop. There are so many other colours in it too such as white, grey, black, blue etc! It's a really versatile top so thought it would be nice to wear to uni and things.

The one on the right is a boxy crop top from River Island. It isn't too cropped which I like and fits really nice too. I have had so many compliments whilst wearing it and have noticed it's also been really popular in store too.

Pink top - Topshop, £16

Floral top - River Island, £26

And you'll be glad to know this is my last purchase!! Got to love a biker jacket! My other one from Miss Selfridge lasted me 2-3 years and I got my wear out of it.
