Fashion Fix: New Season Arrivals

Hi Guys,
Loads more awesome stuff has arrived in stores this week
and I thought I would show you my top picks ;)
Feather Wing Ear Cuff - Topshop £15
love this, not for everyday wear but would look awesome in a photoshoot
Slip On Lo Pro Leopard Vans -  Office £39.99
these would be great to wear all the time with skinny jeans
you know I love leopard print and  I bet they would be really comfy



Grey Aztec Print Jumper - River Island £25
you can never have too much aztec print in my opinion
the more the merrier



Embroidered Leather (Pu) Jacket - ASOS £70
this jacket really reminds me of a different take on the All Saints Owain jacket.
so if you loved that one but it was out of your price range
this is a great alternative.




Aztec Print All In One / Onesie - Topshop £34
be quick if you like this onesie, topshops last onesies sold out in record time
Aztec + Onesie = <3




Scarf Print Leggings - Topshop £20
these scarf print leggings are very 90's Versace / Mochino
and we all know the 90's are back to stay!



Knitted Union Jack Jumper - Topshop £46
what can be more patriotic than a flag jumper?
I really like the look of  this one from Topshop



Premium Spike Cross Necklace - Topshop £30
 gotta love a bit of studs and spikes,
combined with a cross shape this necklace is perfecto!



 Mexican Print Skater Dress - ASOS £75
I love this pretty skater dress
the bright colours and prints are fab,
and a very flattering shape too.

Leather Rhinestone Peter Pan Collar  - Topshop £45
already sold out, this collar is ahmahzing
I'm hoping it will come back into stock soon.
would add a great edge to a girly dress.



Panda Jumper - ASOS £30
eeep this is so cute,
quirky jumpers are everywhere this season
and this is my absolute fave


Pastel Colour Block Bucket Bag - ASOS £35
the pastel colours on this bag are gorge,
very chic but still fun and girly


I would literally buy all of them if I could,
I love seeing the new season stuff arrive!
Have you got your eyes on anything?

What Milly Wore: Aztec Duffle Coat

Hey-lo there one and all,
Here is what I wore a couple of days ago :)


Aztec Navajo Print Blanket Duffle Coat - £60 Urban Outfitters (sale was £120)
eeeeeepp I love this coat,
I blogged about it a couple of months ago,
so when I saw it half price just after Christmas, I asked for it as my main present!
I really like the print, and the fur hood.
The only thing I would change is that it has no lining which annoys me slightly
but it doesn't stop my love for it!

Stripey Skull Vest - Crafted @ Republic
I've had this vest for a good year or so, and not worn it,
so in my attempt to vary my wardrobe and use everything I own  I added it to my outfit

Black Lace trim vest top - Good Old M&S
I layered this vest underneath for warmth
and for modesty ;)

Brown Speckled / Fleck longline cardigan - Next
I'm loving all the speckled and flecked styles that are about at the moment
I'm sure I wore stuff with multi coloured flecks in as a kid, 
and I think it brings out that feeling of nostalgia in me!

High Waisted skinny jeans - New Look
These are my go too jeans at the moment,
really appreciating anything high waisted.

Maddox Tan Leather Tapestry Satchel Bag - Fossil via TKMaxx £69.99 instead of £200
This bag is gorgeous,
I'd been after a good quality carpet / tapestry bag for a while
I came across this one in tkmaxx and couldn't resist.
Fossil are a really good brand,
and I love the pattern and styling of this bag. 

Tan Leather lace-up boots - Pikolinos RRP £110
I got these boots last week to wear to work
and they are so so comfy, very good quality leather
and I like the slightly Victorian feel they have.
Wearing these boots and the bag together I felt a bit like Mary Poppins

that's all for today,
hope you're all having a lovely week so far

What Milly Wore: Aztec Swan

Hi Folks,
So I've not really made a new year resolution persay,
but I am trying to get myself organised, by sorting through my room
and my wardrobes to get rid of what I don't wear

But also I am trying to make use of pieces that I love 
but don't get use out of for some reason.
I'd like to vary my outfits more,
care less what others think of my style,
and experiment a bit!



Here is what I wore Yesterday:
Khaki Quilted Jacket: River Island (last year) £30 ish
I've had so much use out of this jacket but it is yet to be featured on the blog
as I usually wear it just with t-shirt and jeans.
It's kind of barbour esque which I love

Nude / Pale Pink Padlock Bag: M&S (last year) £39 ish
I'm not really an M&S kind of person
but I saw this bag in a magazine and just had to buy it!
and I haven't regretted it,
Its really unique spacious and well made, just wish it was leather!


Black Pearl Cardigan: New Look (sale last year) £9 ish
I never wear this cardigan,
purely because it annoys me that I cant do it up!
I do love the pearl detailings and buttons though.

Swan Digital Print Cropped Top: H&M £19.99
This is a fairly recent purchase that I've just not got round to wearing
I just think the swan is very mysterious looking, 
and I love anything with a photographic or digital print
Also seen on my Clothes Twin Hannah :)

Aztec Bodycon Midi Skirt: River Island £20 this season
I bought this skirt on Tuesday,
I'd had my eye on it for a while, and decided at £20 it was worth it!
I really like the print, that it's high waisted and the midi length
It's amazing!

Black Leggings: £4 Primark
As always, actually need to buy a few more pairs!


I love the clashing prints,
They shouldnt go together but they somehow do!

Black Leather & Tweed Fabric Buckle Boots 'Smoke': Carvela Kurt Geiger
Original Price £180 Sale Price £89 Price after discount code & voucher £49 :)
I love these boots, couldnt believe I got them for such a good price!
I featured them on my blog a couple of months ago 
but didnt think I would be able to afford them
They are really comfy and fur/fuzzy lined.

Think that's everything guys,
Do you like to clash prints?
Have you had any surprise sale bargains?

New Year: Things I Love

Why hello there,
nice to see you again!
Please excuse my lack of bloggingness,
Christmas retail, means not a lot of free time!
So I thought I'd do a little catch up kind of 'Things I Love' post for you :)

I'm loving:

Orange Hair -
Dyed my hair a lovely shade of copper/orange
and I love it, just wish it was as gorgeous and thick as this girls!



Neutral Eye-Make-Up -
Working a lot means I am really appreciating a 15 minute make-up routine,
including a neutral eye, not as nice as this one though!



Magnetic & Glitter Nail Varnish -
I got loads of magnetic nail varnish for Christmas and I'm loving experimenting with it,
also cant get enough of my Deborah Lippmann glitter polishes!


Pyjamas -
Snuggly Pyjamas ftw :) Got some gorgeous M&S ones.



Christmas Socks -
Whether it's just around the house or peeking over the top of my boots
I'm living in patterned Christmas socks right now.



Biker Boots -
I'm Milly and I'm addicted to biker boots
real leather of course and the more studs  the better



Clashing Prints -
there are so many different kinds of prints I love right now,
galaxy,  fairisle, aztec, navajo, floral, digital, graphic etc
and there is nothing I love more than wearing them all at once!



Rucksacks/Backpacks -
I got the ahmahzing Lazy Oaf Space rucksack for Christmas
and it seems to just go with everything!
I also appreciate that it doesn't fall off your shoulders all the time.



Diet Coke -
I love it, nuff said!




Clinique Chubby Sticks -
Part of my afore mentioned quick make-up look are my clinique chubby sticks,
I have 4 and they add a great pop of hydrating colour




Vintage Scarves -
Whether its tied to my bag, worn as a belt or just around my neck
I love to add a vintage scarf to my outfit, especially chain print ones.




Aztec Duffle Coat -
EEEPP I got this urban outfitters printed blanket duffle coat for Christmas
and I am never taking it off EVER



Snoods -
Chunky knitted snoods wrapped round tonnes of times
make me happy.



Skull Necklaces -
I was also lucky enough to get 2 different skull necklaces for Christmas
and I love wearing them with otherwise demure outfits ;)



Sleeping ZzZzZz -
I love to snooze, nap sleep etc
especially in the middle of the day with a cat by my side!

That is all
thanks for reading lovelies

What Milly Wore: Birthday Cape

Hello readers,
I'm trying to get into the swing of posting more regularly again, 
so I thought I would start with a What Milly Wore post!

Today was my Birthday! Hazzzaaahhh I'm now 23 which feels very old!
I'll do a post on the lovely gifts I've been given next week!

Excuse the not so good quality photos, they were taken in the dark :)

I Wore:

Cream Lacey Frilly Dress: Pussycat London Via HOF a couple of years ago £6 ish
I've worn this dress on the blog before last year here, I love the girly feel of it
I also own the same dress in black but don't seem to wear it half as much!

Brown Red Green Aztec Print Blanket Cape: Topshop last winter
I own this in grey too (I'm sensing a theme here!)
I've never worn either of them out of the house before tbh
but with a belt it seems to make them look much more coat like!

Tan Plaited Leather Belt: Next Sale in the summer

Brown Studded Metallic Leather Fringe Pouch Bag: River Island sale last winter
Once again, never been used before
but I'm making an effort to use what I already own!
With this tasselled bag and the cape I started to feel a bit robin hood esque.

Speckled Knitted Brown Patterned Boot Socks: Pringle via TKmaxx £5.99
These socks are amazeballs,
not only are they kinda fairisle patterned 
but they are also multicoloured speckled/ flecked in the wool!

Brown Shearling Biker Boots (rolled down): River Island Last Year £74.99
I own these in brown and black and wear both pairs all the time
stylish practical and comfy!

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!)

 

I love these two cardigans,
a great Navajo print, at a really good price
they could easily pass for ASOS!




Similarly these two knitted Navajo skirts are gorgeous
they'd look great teamed with black legggings
brown boots and a snuggley cape


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 :)
 


 

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!

 

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

 

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.

 

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!

 

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?


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!


This leopard print dress is very 60's looking
I bought this, and can see myself wearing it alot this autumn
 
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!


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!




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?

xXx
