Winter Outfit: Embroidered Cardigans & Corduroy Pinafores | Blogmas Day 8

I haven't done an outfit post in absolute ages, mainly because I don't have a designated photographer to hand at all times. But I wanted to share an outfit featuring my loooovely new cardigan anyways so I dragged my brother out to take some photos in the most autumnal looking forest ever.

Off The Shoulder Dresses & Corn Fields

Fashion

Off the shoulder dresses are really hyped at the moment and THE trend piece of the summer it seems. For quite a while I wasn't sure whether I would like it on me or, truth be told, if I could stand wearing it because I'm all for comfort and practicability when it comes to my clothes. But I decided to order it anyway and give it a go. I tried it on and immediately fell in love! It's black, it's simple, it's flowy, in short: it's perfect for summer!

Take Me Home, Country Roads

Fashion

Spring has finally sprung for good! Ok it's still kinda freezing when I leave for work in the morning so I can't quite pack away my winter coats yet but there's hope! All the blossoms are blossoming and the sun's shining and the birds are tweeting and oh it's just beautiful outside! I love getting out and walking the nearby country roads in my home town especially now that the weather is so nice. You guys all know that I love big city life, I feel so calm and at home when I'm in a big busy city like London and I love all the opportunities you get there. But there's just something magical about being in the countryside. About being able to just go out and breathe fresh air, the only sounds surrounding you being the birds and the wind whistling through the leaves on the trees. It kind of makes you stop and think for a while, about what's really important in life and about who you truly are.

I read recently that only 30 minutes of walking outside and breathing fresh air decreases your risk of heart problems and generally aids your wellbeing as well as your fitness of course! And that's just leisurely walking, not even working out!

Lots of Love,
Jess xx

Hammered Gold Disc Necklace | Etsy Love

Fashion

I've really been into gold jewellery for a while now and am slowly but steadily expanding my collection. I wanted to get a pretty gold necklace for months, something delicate and not too in your face. I've been looking all over the place for the perfect one until I finally came across this gorgeous number on Etsy! Etsy is also fast becoming one of my favourite online stores! I love how you can find something for everybody on there while you support independent jewellers and creative people all over the world!

Huge Collective Haul

batiste

I haven't done many hauls on this blog but lately I have felt veeeery spendy so I thought why not share my purchases of the last couple of weeks. Like I said, this has been accumulated over a few weeks and I didn't just buy all of this in one trip into town (see how I'm trying to justify already?). So enough talking here's what I got:

Style Crush: Lily Collins

Fashion

Source: Pinterest

In light of the fact that next Monday will be the UK premiere of 'Love, Rosie', a cute little romcom featuring Lily Collins I thought it high time to declare my love for Lily Collins' style! She always looks so effortlessly fashionable whatever she's wearing and she's definitely got the sophisticated rock chick thing down!

Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose

Dress

I'm quoting Janis Joplin for the title of this little outfit post because what with the semester being over and summer being in full swing I just thought it would fit. Also I just love listening to her songs (imagine a campfire and somebody playing a Joplin song on the guitar - bliss...)

Anyway, I wanted to share with you a little summery outfit I wore to a garden party this week.
