Fluffy Friend

25th September

Jumper new look, Shirt Urban Outfitters, Jeans Topshop, Boots Topshop, Earings Forever 21,  Bag Grandma's wardrobe..


Comfortable and warm, what more could you want from a winter cardigan? I am loving all of the fluffy cardigan's out at the moment. I picked this one up in new look during the week and cant take it off, I'm like a walking teddy bear.. free hugs galore. Last week I moved into my new flat in Glasgow, giving up our rather large party pad for a cute two bedroom flat towards the west end. As much as I miss our male flatmates I have zero complaints about the new found cleanliness. I could definitely see some funny looks being fired in my direction from our new neighbours as my flatmate so kindly snapped these photos. It's all fun and games for her now.. lets see how long that continues. This wee gem of a bag is one I pinched from my grandma two weeks ago, I was searching for a bag for a night out that I had seen her wear before when I found four delights that she clearly hasn't worn for at least thirty years. I couldn't bare to see them stuck there for another thirty so being the helpful granddaughter I am I took them off her hands.

Coat Sensation...

Coat Sensation... by holly-odowd featuring an oversized wool coat

Topshop jacket / Topshop coat / Zara coat / Zara short wool coat / ASOS coat / Topshop oversized wool coat


Winter coats are my all time favorite item of clothing and this year the high street has far to much to offer. I've always been a fan of boyfriend coats and I bought a lovely one last year, however I feel its just not bright enough this year.. I NEED A PINK ONE. At first I thought I would get a bit sick of everything pink but that certainly isn't the case anymore. I am a firm believer that a good coat is an investment and it is always better to spend that little bit more to get a good quality coat that you can wear again and again. I love that there are so many bright and bold coats around this year, perfect for adding a splash of colour to our winter wardrobes. I'm sure I'll be seeing more than one new coat trying to squeeze its way in to my small student sized wardrobe this winter. These are just a few beauty's I'm loving.

MissGuided Goodness

MissGuided has produced some crackers lately, this leather look skirt being one of them, and the best bit has to be the cheap and cheerful price! Its the perfect skirt for all occasions throughout Autumn and Winter. It comes in white and burgandy too ( DYING for the white one). I had planned to only blog outfit post's outside, however it's already getting dark very early and rains about 90% of the time in Glasgow so the occasional inside pictures will have to do. I feel that this might be my last encounter with my lovely Topshop hat as soon it's going to be all about woollies.. and I can't wait!! Winter wardrobes are my absolute favourite. Apart from my new skirt the rest of this outfit is pretty old, the blazer and top are both Urban Outfitters and the necklace is H&M. There are so many gorgeous necklaces in H&M at the moment that are similar to this one, I want them all. A girl can never have too many accessories right?

I'm going to the cinema tonight ( got to love orange Wednesday's) and we've not decided what we're going to see yet, I was secretly hoping that the 1D film just happens to be the only film on when we arrive (highly doubtful) and if it is there is zero chance Simon would endure an hour and a half of it anyway (sigh).

This weeks wish list...

this weeks wish list by holly-odowd featuring black handbags

Zara purple dress / Topshop jacket / Topshop jeans / Shoes, $120 / Zara black handbag / Pull&Bear backpacks bag, $36 / The Row mod sunglasses / Converse All Stars Optical boots – white Converses – unisex boots UK

DROOLING over all of these items, Polyvore is far too addicted for somebody with such little will power when it comes to saving money and not spending it! This Zara dress has my name all over it, I might allow myself just one of these items this week, I'd say I deserve it...
Tartan and plaid are two A/W trends I will be embracing with open arms, and not just because I'm Scottish. I've seen lots of amazing tartan items gracing our high street lately and today I finally gave in and made my first purchase. Hopefully I'll snap a few outfit shots this week and slip some tartan in there.

Oh I do like to be beside the Sea..

 Thursday 5th of September

Outfit: Topshop Mom Jeans here, Similar T-shirt here, Boots here

Mom jeans and a kimono, two of my very favourite things! I enjoy dressing like a Mom in the 90's a little too much I think. This Asos kimono was a sale bargain at the beginning of summer and has been a god send for my pale skin while travelling, no lobster shoulders for me! I've been lusting over all the kimonos at http://arnhem.co/ for a long time now, they are simply perfect, however my current bank balance does not agree. My friend actually snapped these photos a wee while back when we were out for a walk, its rather handy having grandparents who live right on the sea front! However today I'm tucked up in bed feeling ill and sorry for myself, which only results with me spending too much time visiting all my favourite online shops making a wish list as long as my arm.

Keeping it monochrome

Tuesday 3rd September

Keeping it monochrome

Shock horror it is yet again another monochrome outfit from me, I seriously need to stop this. Considering how messy I am it makes zero sense that white is my go to colour at the moment. However I'm a big fan of this all Zara outfit none the less, bar the shoes of course, there Topshop's finest. This top is my most recent Zara purchase and I've already worn it on various occasions, it's so easy to wear casual or dress up for the evening. I've just realised how terribly  miserable I look in all these photos, I'm going to blame it on the fact I was freezing or that I had an audience of young 'sea cadets' staring at me. I don't blame them, I mean WHO wears this down to Stonehaven harbour...
