Topshop: Back To School

The summer has been and gone and the only exciting part of moving into the cold winter months, is the thought of a new wardrobe! For the past few months, my coats and jackets have been strangers. A distant memory. It is not quite cold enough for a big winter jacket so I decided on a lightweight, but still cosy jacket. The above khaki jacket with gold button detail cinches in at the waist so you can create a fitted jacket or wear loose. 

Recently, I have found it easier to wear a plain top but make it look different with a statement necklace. There is an abundance of cami tops available in different colours in most shops this Autumn. I would ideally like to find a silk cami top in every colour but they don't exist everywhere. Silk sits really well and taken care of carefully, can last forever. The above top is only £17 and in a classic black - you can't really go wrong!

The black boots with buckle detailing are casual and can be worn during the day at college, work or a weekend trip to the shops. I love wearing these boots with a pair of black leggings and a chunky knitted jumper. The boots are lined with faux fur which make them really comfortable.

Summer Shoe Essentials

Although I can't predict if it will rain, snow or a sudden heatwave, I like to pretend I can have a Summer wardrobe. I can't reside to the fact I live in a land where you can pretty much wear winter clothes all year round. So I continue to remain positive and look forward to the impending heatwave.

IT WILL HAPPEN. I have limited my Summer shoe collection - the shoes in this post are my favourite pairs of footwear for this season. My wellies come out every now and then but I don't really want to take a photo of those. Standard wellies, I'll let your imagination take over!

I can now reveal, my Summer footwear consists of: Havaianas purple flipflops, Forever 21 Pokadot VERY high wedges, Primark Wedges and Topshop tan boots.

There is a bit of a story behind the havaianas. After a rainy afternoon in Marbella, we decided to walk to Puerto Banus. There is a long path along the coastline, and on a sunny day, I guess this would be ideal. But it was raining and I was wearing pumps from Accessorize. Half way to Puerto Banus, my sand filled, wet pumps were falling apart. Soon, we stumbled upon the havaianas stand. When I say stumbled, I ran across the street and starting searching through the huge assortment of havaianas in every colour under the sun! I decided on the purple pair with diamante detail. The walk was worth it after all!
 

The pokadot wedges are perfect with white jeans, blue jeans - actually any colour of jeans really. I also paired these with a cream skirt and top. If you know me at all, you will know I have an obsession with buying white/cream clothing. I like to pair it with bright colours but none the less, I have too much and I guess it is a slight addiction. It just goes with everything!

The tan Topshop boots are the most practical out of the four pairs. Again, these boots can pretty much go with everything and the chunky heel make these boots really comfy. Topshop have similar boots every year and these also come in black. Tan is perfect for the Summer, but I am contemplating purchasing the black pair too!


Lastly, I walked past this pair of nude colour wedges in Primark and immediately thought "If I leave you behind, I will never forgive myself!" A tad dramatic, I'll admit, but that is how it happened. These wedges are extremely high so when I feel like being 6 foot, I like to wear these!
