BACK TO BLACK (AND WHITE)

Waffle Knit Jumper – Topshop | White Asymmetric Skirt – Missguided £19.99 | Boots – Topshop via Next to Nowt | Rings – Topshop | Satchel – Primark

Ahhh, the time of year when it’s finally socially acceptable for me to dress myself head to toe in shades of black, white and grey is upon us again. Sartorially, winter is my friend. Practically, it is not. I took these shots a couple of weeks ago so was able to risk a bit of bare leg before I inevitably have to force my legs into thick black tights. When you read this post I will most likely be curled up in a very small ball after the madness of freshers week, as I’ve scheduled this post ahead of time in an attempt to (sort of) keep up to date with blogging while enjoying the first couple of weeks of partying, making friends and dragging myself into uni at the break of dawn.

I saw this amazing asymmetric skirt pop up on the Missguided website at the absolute bargain price of £19.99 and immediately ran to get my purse. Missguided, I hate you a bit for encouraging me to spend my hard earned pennies, but all is forgiven - you do make gorgeous clothes with student-friendly price tags. I’m sure you’re sick to death of seeing me wear my black buckled boots in every post but my blog is an honest reflection of my style (and frankly they are very comfy) so I hope you don’t mind too much. 

I filmed a quick video of this outfit with help from my friend Katie, you can check it out below! Anyway, that’s enough rambling from me for now, I’m off to buy myself some new shoes.

GUEST POST FT ELLIE FROM CANDYTAPESTRY

Hey readers of Studs-On-Saturday, My name is Ellie & I blog over at CANDYTAPESTRY.blogspot.com. This is my first ever guest post, so I thought I'd keep it to what I know and what I love! 

Mink Pink have one of my favorite brand concepts and always have such lovely patterned clothing. This A/W they've released the LALA Land Collection and I absolutely love it. The moodboard show cases four of my favourite items all available on their website and on other retailers such as ASOS & Urban Outfitters. Although the prices are sometimes high, you can't help but fall in love and consequently end up spending your bank balance of their stock. I'm not one for babbling on when I think the images can speak for themselves! Quirky designs and a hippy-esc feel, Mink Pink have got it down to a T and are right up my street this season. 

When Ellie got in touch with me about organising a guest post I jumped at the chance. Her blog CandyTapestry is one of my favourites, full of seriously inspirational moodboards and outfits as well as a few DIY bits and bobs. Find Ellie at candytapestry.blogspot.com

JONI'S HOMIES

‘Homies’ tee (Urban Outfitters dupe) – Ebay | Joni jeans – Topshop | Curb Chain – H&M (friend’s)| Buckle Boots – Topshop via Next to Nowt | Rings (just seen) - Topshop

Hello lovelies! There is nothing particularly striking about this outfit; no dazzling sequins, no bold tartan, no new season pastel pink, but I love it all the same. Sometimes the most simple, comfortable outfits are the ones that make you feel the best and that’s certainly true of this look. If I’m having a lazy day or just can’t muster the energy to mix things up and experiment I always go back to the classic jeans and t-shirt combination (although hopefully a little more glamorous than when I wore this combo religiously in my childhood.) It’s probably not cool for someone that blogs about fashion to admit that they have these kind of ‘boring clothes’ days, but I’m sure it’s the same for all of you too. If it’s not, then I am insanely jealous and it is probably best you never come my way, beautifully clad in your fabulous outfits (Just joking, I think)

Any of you have go-to lazy day outfits? Please make me feel better about my lack of constant fashion inspiration.

THINGS THAT NEED TO GET IN MY WARDROBE #1

Jacket – New Look £35 | Top – River Island | Joni Jeans – Topshop | Boots – River Island | Chain - Topshop

First thing’s first, OH MY GOODNESS why have I never used polyvore?! It is incredible. It is also just another reason why I’m on the road  to becoming incredibly anti-social. I discovered it after seeing a few inspiring outfits on some of your lovely blogs, and I am well and truly hooked.

I’m seriously lusting after a boyfriend jacket this A/W, it's the kind of coat that actually makes your outfit more stylish instead of completely killing your look. This one is a steal at £35, and if it weren’t for the little voice in the back of my head telling me I need a coat with a hood for university (aka my mother)  I would be snapping it up right now. I have already purchased these gorgeous joni jeans from topshop and am now living in them permanently. ( I also have a similar chain from ASOS and similar shoes from Topshop,  but a girl can dream)

Have any of you been wasting your time in a similar fashion on polyvore? Let me know, I’d love  to check out your creations! 

P.S. My username is saramacauley if any of you would like to follow me, I’m currently a billy no mates.

Until next time,
