£150 to spend in Next

It's clear that Autumn is here with the weather not failing to hold back on cold moneys, strong winds and manic rain. I feel that it is time to bring out the winter coat, umbrella and find a waterproof bag for college! However, the weather doesn't stop fashion one bit at all! And Next are all stocked out ready for the A/W '11 season. I've stuck to burgundy trousers for my own personal look, but that doesn't mean this season doesn't stretch out to blush colours as well so be sure to find their blush pink roll up jeans. 

I personally love blazers, they're such a simple but strong addition to an outfit, as they're warm, stylish and suit nearly every outfit ever, what isn't to love? I've paired up the jeans with a oversized everyday white shirt, I didn't want to mix up to many different shades of brown with this outfit so I tried to stick to 2 types, which results in an easy every day casual outfit which is perfect for college, a trip out shopping, or possible even a date if you fancied jazzing it up with some brown suede heels. 

Sticking to a well in fashion pair of shoes definitely brings the outfit together, it all works well as something casual ready for Autumn and the cold days which you can pile layers underneath or possibly on top. I've thrown in a horse print scarf which reminds me of Miu's collections which easily can be ignored for those "hotter" Autumn days.

Be sure to check out Next's newest collection filling the store; they aren't always recognised for their fashion suiting younger adults, however they do produce some rare gems.

Okay I think it's apparent I have a mad obsession for shoes, but they are the best accessory a girl can ask for are they not? For me shoes can easily be the main part of an outfit,  take Doc Martens for example; you could easily pair up black skinny jeans with an oversized white with top and then any colour or style Doc's would bring the outfit to life really, or a pair of statement heels which could easily change the mood/attitude of the outfit. Now I'm not saying this this classes for all outfits, because a small pair of ballet pumps give the outfit omph rather than the shoes. 

However, do you not agree these new Doc Martens are rather beautiful? I was casually scrolling ebay for a cheap pair of plain black to bid on when these came from no where and truly captured my heart. I've never seen them before so I have a feeling they are like the pastel coloured and are a limited edition set and by God do I need these in my life; it's a shame that they cost a massive £94 but still, I think if I had a job all my wages would go towards the green pair of these - although I do want the silver to pretend to be an astronaut. 

If you could have any pair of shoes in the entire world what would you have?

control yourself

I thought it'd be the best idea to take the long route to town so I stop in some charity shops and have a little mooch, turns out I only got 3 things. However, my favourite buy is the polka dot skirt and I cannot wait to have an event to be able to wear it out to. I like charity shops because it's my way of giving now that I'm out of school and unable to donate through that, seeing as college can't do "non-uni days" as every day is non-uniform.

I really like my maxi skirt, I've wanted to get one for so long but most are far too long on my body due to my height being a major issue, however if I wear it high enough it's not too much of a problem but I may have to secure it with a belt. I actually would love a black one, or maybe even a brightly coloured one. I think I need to invest in more tops though, or at least through out some of my lame ones which clog up my wardrobe and never get worn. 

I'm going to Centre Parc's with my boyfriends famalam on Friday, well his mother and her boyfriends children who I'm hoping I'll get along with however I do not know the ages or names... That's my first challenge for this weekend. Hopefully it'll be good fun and I'll have a nice time, even if it does result in ginger hair.
