So good...they sent it twice



























Images from: H&M Autumn Season 2012 Catalogue

Have clearly ordered so much through the H&M catalogue they thought they best send two in case I wear out the first one from looking through it too much! If you do not like coral and burgundy this is not the collection for you, it is everywhere! From the tight knits to the city shorts and chinos. The pictures I have added to Facebook, here, have a distinct sixties feel but with modern twists, like the woven trousers and knit but worn with the funky sandals and socks (again in burgundy), a look I am definitely feeling for autumn. This time am liking the jumpers, the shoes and the detailing, like the silver cuffs on the gold trousers.

Also put up my look for Look magazines competition to be a stylist in their Look Show, here, go through to like the image if you do! Many thanks x

Red, white...and blue




























Top: Primark   Jeans: H&M   Necklace: Primark   Trainers: Converse

Just a quick post as I wanted to put up the link to my Facebook page and album that has some more photos from the previous post, here, that aren't on the blog. Would love to have more contact with other bloggers and fans through Facebook so please go through and like/leave comments for me if you wish! Am not going to stay too long on here as in the midst of watching the Olympics opening ceremony, must admit I was a bit sceptical but well done to Danny Boyle and the team for this great feat!

Just wanted to add the above photos taken actually before we went out in the previous post, mainly due to the necklace! One of the bits I noticed when looking through images for Primark's Autumn collection, check out some other great designs like this geometric one, here. Some great statement pieces, here, and, here.

And...again
































































Jacket: Primark   Dress: H&M   Trainers: River Island   Bag: H&M   

I know, I know it's that jacket again but I love, love, love, love, LOVE it! Seriously there is a whole lot of love going on for this particular item! I like that it can be a bit more dressed up like the previous post or more casually as above. Between that and the black hi-tops with their hidden wedge I'm basically just alternating the clothes in between at the moment!

Was having a wander looking at all the recent drops into stores, shall try to do a post at some point of my favourite pieces from a/w collections (seriously how is it that July is nearly over already?!) but am loving that most things are studded, from bags to collars, as I do love a bit of embellishment and the trend seems to have taken off already in stores. It is not just studs but pretty gems and beads too, currently lusting after this dress, here, at River Island.

Ready for...contrast


Jacket: Primark   Blouse: Miss Selfridge   Trousers: H&M   Shoes: Primark   Bag: H&M   Watch: River Island   Necklace: River Island   Moustache ring: River Island   Cross ring: Topshop

Was out doing a couple of jobs around the Trafford Centre today in Manchester. When you see something a lot you kind of loose appreciation for the detail and special areas around the place like the stone lions and carved eagles around all the drain pipes. I could also sit and watch the dolphin fountain for ages! Check out the Facebook page, here, for latest news and events.

Ever since I saw the preview for Primarks Autumn/Winter collection, that mentioned, here, have been looking out for the items to come through to stores. This jacket I managed to pick up last week and soooo glad that I did, it's a great versatile piece and the faux leather sleeves make it appear much more pricey! Have seen similar version in Topshop, here, and also liking this khaki version with fur collar for River Island, here, as well as this gorgeous drape fronted leather jacket from the same place, here.
