Fashion Fix: Tesco Clothing

 Hi guys,

I'm sure you've all noticed the change in weather recently

and for me this has prompted much drooling over autumn winter clothes

This year I'm on a strict budget (well I shouldn't be spending anything really)

So I've been looking for some bargains,

and I've found loads that I would love to buy

(O.K so I HAVE bought some of them)

Clothing at Tesco (Florence and Fred)

Seriously some of their stuff is really good

I've really been surprised at how great everything is!

(and before anyone ask this is NOT a sponsored post!)

 

F&F Navajo open Front Cardigan £18

I love these two cardigans,

a great Navajo print, at a really good price

they could easily pass for ASOS!

F&F Navajo open Front Cardigan £18 

 F&F Navajo Skirt £14

Similarly these two knitted Navajo skirts are gorgeous

they'd look great teamed with black legggings

brown boots and a snuggley cape

 F&F Navajo Skirt £14

 F&F Navajo Jumper £16

Wow they're really on the Navajo bandwagon aren't they!

Well all the better for us!

I like the really bold pattern on these two jumpers :)

 

F&F Navajo Jumper £16

 

F&F Sleeveless Cardigan £14

I bought this great fringed knitted waistcoat

last week, and it's amazing!

You'd never guess it was from Tesco, it feels good quality

and best of all it looks really good on!

 

 Amy of Paris Cowl Neck Poncho £20 (reduced from £40)

At £40 this poncho was overpriced

but at 50% off it's a much better deal!

The fairisle print is great

and I bet it's really warm

 

F&F Limited Edition Graphic Dress £12 (reduced from £18)

This is another item I actually bought!

I love a graphic print and this is no exception

it's really flattering on and is really comfy.

 

F&F Limited Edition Knitted Dress £13.50 (reduced from £20)

This knitted holey dress is really designer looking

it reminds me of Mark Fast's knitted and crocheted designs

and at £13.50 it's a steal!

 

Rock & Revival Elusive Skull Print Leggings £9.00 (reduced from £18)

I'm partial to anything with skulls on (in case you haven't noticed)

and these leggings are no exception

Skull print leggings..... what could be better?

 F&F Biker Boot £15

These waxy leather look biker boots come in black and brown

I bought them in black and they are so so comfy

they also look a lot more expensive than they were!

Great for walking or mucking about in as it doesn't matter if they get trashed!

F&F A Line Animal Print Dress £8 (reduced from £16)

This leopard print dress is very 60's looking

I bought this, and can see myself wearing it alot this autumn

 

F&F Midi Pencil Skirt £6 (reduced from £12)

I bought this too, eep save me from myself

but seriously I've wanted a leopard print pencil skirt for ages

it's very pin-up style, can be dressed up or down

and at £6 it'd be rude to say no!

F&F Limited Edition Star print Chiffon Shirt £20

Brand new in are these two star print items

Very Chanel S/S 08 and Dolce & Gabanna A/W 11

I resisted as they are full price

but I'll keep an eye out for them when the sales start!

F&F Limited Edition Star Print Chiffon Tea Dress £25

Wow that ended up a long post

and it took me a good few hours to do so I hope you guys like it :)

Lastly for £10 off your tesco Clothing order of £40 or more

use the Code AW-LFW when you check out (valid until 2nd October)

Plus Free Delivery when you spend £50 (after any discounts)

What trends will you be wearing this A/W

have any shops suprised you with what they have in store?

Fashion Fix: Awesome Aztec & Nice Navajo

 I was a huge fan of the Aztec & Navajo prints

that were around last A/W, 

but I love the ones this year even more

Here is my guide to the best items I've found:

Aztec Pattern Coat £100 ASOS

Not cheap, but I love the style of it, and it would be lovely and warm

maybe wait for a money off code?

Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony Military Cardigan Coat 

£236 reduced from £592 ASOS

OK so this is a serious investment piece

But if you can afford it go for it, it will last you a lifetime

Aztec Borg Hooded Parker £75 Topshop

This is very similar to a leopard print one I bought from topshop last year,

the fleecey lining in the hood is to die for!

I like that the pattern in a little more subdued on this one.

Blue Print Faux Fur Aztec Coat £85 River Island

This coat is a bit more unique than the others which I really like,

The colour combination and the fur around the hood make it a bit different

Navajo Blanket Duffle Coat £125 Urban Outfitters

This is probably my favourite out of the bunch,

The prefect combination of navajo, duffle, parka and blanket!

Red & Grey Aztec Print Cape £40 River Island

I bought two aztec capes from Topshop last year

and they are amazing, It's like walking round in a blanket,

very comfy, fashion forward and flattering

especially with a belt!

Woven Aztec Satchel £45 Urban Outfitters

This is a great way to add colour to a plain outfit

I just wish the handles were real leather

Backpack with Aztec Print £35 ASOS

I actually found this in the men's section!

don't be afraid stray from women's items when looking for accessories

nobody would ever know!

Printed Leggings £20 Topshop

As you may know I'm not adverse to some funky leggings in my life

And these printed ones from Topshop are great to wear with a baggy t-shirt

and some high-tops, channelling the 80's vibe :)

Grey Aztec Print Leggings £22 River Island

If you fancy something a bit more subtle

this pair in neutral tones are great!

Black Aztec Print Tapered Leg Trousers £22 River Island

I love these,

they could be really smartened up for a night out with a black vest top,

a pair of heels and a clutch bag!

BDG Printed Rib Knit Leggings £24 Urban Outfitters

These look fab,

great as pyjama bottoms or just lounging round the house

these long john style leggings look so comfy

Thats everything folks,

Please let me know what you think of this kind of post,

as I'm forever finding great items to buy, and cant afford

so I might as well share them with you guys right? :)

Lust After / New Arrival: Wrap Up Warm

Hey Guys & Dolls

Once again I am lusting after many items at the moment

here are just a few:

Galaxy Print Bags: Peter Paulotti for Kipling!

I cannot wait for these bags to come out,

I'm deffo going to be purchasing one, which shape I'm not sure

I can never resist galaxy print!

They should be out on the 17th this month

so not too long to wait

Im assuming they will be around the £80 mark!

Socks!

I love a bit of fairisle and when I saw these on topshop.com I was like YUM

They look so pretty and warm,

 perfect with some worker boots and leggings

£3.99 a pair Topshop

This week Ashish's collab with topshop arrived

and I just love this Parisian inspired t-shirt

£50 Ashish for Topshop

Chunky Reindeer Coatigan: Zara £59.99

It just looks so warm and cozy

I cannot get enough of patterned knits!

I'm also after some brown / tan chelsea boots

these are from River Island for £29.99 which is a bargain if you ask me!

I actually prefer a very similar pair from office but at twice the price they may have to wait!

I love the Barbour jacket look, but definitely don't want to pay the price

so this quilted hunter jacker from River Island is just the job for £39.99

I've been after a jacket like this for such a long time

and wouldn't have bought it, if I hadn't already bought two navy blue coats recently.

and here is what I've been Buying:

I compromised and bought this khaki barbour style jacket, also £39.99 from River Island

I slightly prefer the navy, but thought it was pointless owning hundreds of navy coats.

I think really I would have preferred brown, but its not made in brown

so khaki it is, and I love how it looks on!

This is one of my navy coats

£59.99 Zara

very similar to a topshop one from last year

It's just so cute!

and its knitted so its super comfy

But I cant wear it yet as I ordered it online 

and when it arrived I found it still had the plastic security tag attached!

I was livvid, what a stupid thing to do!

I've emailed them and am still waiting for a reply,

what am I supposed to do??

And finally I bought this aviator jacket  also from Zara for £39.99

Its lovely on, and satisfies my flying / sheepskin / aviator jacket itch

whilst being quite a bit cheaper than similar ones from topshop!

Is there anything you've been lusting after?

Treated yourself to anything recently?

I would love to hear about it!

What Milly Wore: to go to Argos

evenin' all

Well today was a bit weird, totally overslept and missed my lecture

but to make up for it I did some work, more on that later!

Well it was chilly outside this evening,

and I needed to walk to Argos to get a new tripod!

Here is what I wore:

Panda Hat: River Island

Studded Leather Jacket: Religion (trying to wear it as much as possible)

Marc Jacobs Style Bag: Market Stall

Bleached Jeans: River Island

Purple Boots: Red or Dead

Hand Warmers: New look ( a couple of years ago £1 )

Mohair Eternity Scarf: Juuls (as worn by Mary-Kate Olsen! expensive but lovely)

Underneath I Wore:

My favourite Grey Cardigan: American apparel (unisex)

Two Tone Bodycon Dress: American Apparel

And here is the lovely Mary-Kate wearing my scarf!

this pic is a good few years old but I think its my favourite of her!

and here is the work I was talking about earlier!

Here is my first Panorama!

Its only test shots, to see if i could do it, and it worked!

Quite chuffed with myself

Just finished moving rooms and got a new bed yesterday so thought I would show you guys my room!

Its not sorted/tidy, but all the furniture is in the right place now!

I love the above cardigan,

I was soooo close to ordering it, I saw a girl wearing it the other day

it looked so good,

I was having a snoop around to see if I could find it or similar,

and this is the exact one

£75 Monsoon

I ordered this one instead

I actually like the other one more,

But this one was £40 ASOS

much cheaper, and also I think the sleeves are better

why put short sleeves on a cardigan??

and I have totally and utterly failed on my not spending money on anything over £20 pounds

I was doing so well

but today Ive put in 3 orders , probably spent £200

oh deario

I'm going to have no money

So my punishment from the boy

is to not buy ANYTHING for a week,

starting tomorrow

: (

Fashion Fix : Fairisle

So I'm a little obsessed with Fairisle at the moment!

I must admit I'd never heard of the name for this style until recently

In fact I wasn't sure it had a name other than ' knitted, christmassy stuff '

But I now know its called fairisle, characterised by bright bold patterns

generally knitted, it has a crafty or eco feel

Here are some of my favourite items from the skirt, clockwise:

Fairisle Skirt: Miss Selfridge £22

Fairisle Mittens: Allsaints £40

Fairisle Trapper Hat: Debenhams £10

Long Navy Fairisle Socks: Toast £22

Close up of Multicoloured Knee Socks (centre): People Tree @ asos £20 (fair trade too!)

Poppy Fairisle Beret: Monsoon £16

Hooded Antler Coatigan: Topshop £95

I have really rubbish circulation so often get numb feet

So I'm always on the lookout for nice socks

I walked past a girl in town wearing these:

She was wearing the dark green ones inside long ugg boots

It looked really good, so good I followed her to ask where they are from!

They are from Holland & Cooper £39

eep, so I didn't buy them, Its just too much for one pair of socks

Instead I bought two pairs of Christmas socks by people tree!

Fair trade and ethical, and half the price!

These are the same as the asos ones in the centre at the top

'Made in Nepal by artisans working with the Kumbeshwar Technical School in Kathmandu, which provides education, vocational training and paid employment to underprivileged workers.'

because they are handmade each pair is unique in pattern and colour

Im uber excited to see what my two pairs look like!

xXx
