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

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!)

 

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?

xXx

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? :)

xXx
