London has suddenly changed from warm Autumn to freezing cold Winter this weekend, giving me enough of an excuse to bring out my fur coat. Josh and I closed our eyes and randomly pointed to somewhere on the tube map to shoot this outfit. This week's location - Leicester Square, but we also ended up wandering to Covent Garden and Embankment. These leather leggings are something I've had for over year now and they're proving a great investment piece for the Autumn and Winter months. They're something I can see staying in style for many seasons to come. I've also played with the 'half-tuck' trend which I wasn't keen on when it was first seen in the fashion magazines, however it has grown on me. 
I was kindly sent some lovely pieces of jewellery by De'Onne of We Love Button Jewellery last week. My favourite piece has to be the silver spiked bracelet which I'm wearing in this post. I've been tempted by similar ones on the high street lately so was overjoyed to receive this beauty. Make sure to check out the We Love Button Jewellery website for great affordable and on-trend pieces! 
I've been at uni and at work all of last week but managed to go to the Chanel : The Little Black Jacket and the Google Maps Streetview exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery in my free time. Both exhibitions were amazing - I'd definitely recommend a visit. Plus its free! 
On a final note, Happy Halloween! Hope you all have a fun week. My sister is coming to stay with me in London for the next few days which I'm very excited about! Keep up on Twitter and Instagram

I reluctantly went to the the Topshop sale in Oxford Circus last week. I only went to look, knowing that I shouldn't buy anymore clothes being a student and all. But, hey I ended up buying this aztec print dress. My purchase was justified by my heart saying 'but you're a fashion student'. My best friend Grace has a dress really similar and she always looks so perfect. I'm really loving the t-shirt dress style at the moment and I 'grunged' up the outfit with my beloved khaki parka and a tan leather backpack. After half-stealing these boots off my Mum, I kinda wonder what I'd do without them as I seem to wear them almost every day!
I attended the Sarah Forsyth handbag launch party last week and I was lucky enough to meet to meet Rosie from Made in Chelsea! I've started writing for a blog called Bonafide Supernova and you can check out my post here!
Hope you've all had a lovely week.

These photos were taken whilst on a Sunday morning wander around Portabello Market and Notting Hill Gate. I only rediscovered this skirt in my wardrobe recently, its kinda something I forgot I had. I wore it a few times over summer but found that it is still something mix up for the autumn weather. I've paired the skirt with my black studded jumper from Oasis. I love the cut and the shorter length sleeves, perfect for the in between coat weather! These Chelsea boots were one of my greatest ebay purchases to date, only £20ish! I bought them from a shop on ebay - sorry I can't remember which one! 
I went to see Azealia Banks perform on her Mermaid Ball at the London Aquarium on Saturday night. It was a really small revenue - only about 150 people - and there was sharks and stingrays in the tanks next to where she performed... pretty surreal! Oh and I also saw my number one girl crush there - Cara Delevingne!  It was such an amazing night! 
I'm really excited for Made in Chelsea to start again tonight! Me and my flatmates are all planning to get together to watch it - can't wait! As for this week I've got lots of work to do for uni and I'm working all weekend. My sister is coming to visit me in London in a couple of weeks! Miss her so much <3

Autumn in Hyde Park

Autumn is definitely my favourite time of the year. These photos were taken in Hyde Park on a beautiful day last week. The crisp orange colour and fallen leaves provides a perfect backdrop for a walk in the park on a sunny morning. I'm well aware that I've feature this dress on my blog before, but considering the amount of times I wear it, I guess I thought it deserves another blog post. Topshop have got a new range of t-shirt dresses in a few different shades for AW but I'm currently lusting over this Fair Isle print beauty and this dark green number. I've styled my t-shirt dress with my oversized vintage denim jacket which I've been wearing as a cape quite often lately. I bought this cute beanie hat from Topshop in Oxford Circus not long ago. Its so perfect as the colder draws in for Winter - it'll keep my head nice and warm! I couldn't decide between getting the burgundy one or a khaki one at the time but I'm glad with my decision as I think this colour suit me better. 
I've started wearing red lipstick quite a lot lately but I think (?) this is the first time I've worn it blog photos. What do you think? I never use to think I suited red lipstick, or any lipstick for that matter but I guess the more you wear something, the more you suit it. 
I've got a lot of work to catch up on so I'll be spending this evening making notes and making presentations for uni. I'm loving my course and anyone thinking of applying to London College of Fashion should definitely give it a go! I never thought be offered a place - but hey dreams do come true! 
Hope you're all having a great week so far, don't forget to follow me on Twitter and Instagram!
