OOTD: Is it Autumn Yet?

I spotted these floral cigarette trousers a week or so ago in Topshop and fell in love with them straight away. I've wanted a pair of floral printed trousers for some time but was never sure if they would suit me or just look unflattering and awkward. However these beauties are quite literally everything I could have wished for in a pair of trousers. The muted pastel tones of the print aren't too garish for everyday wear yet they could be dressed up with a cami and a blazer for a truly sophisticated evening look- something reminiscent of the outfits worn by Olivia Palermo I feel. 

The look I have chosen here includes a beautiful oatmeal/ cream jumper from Topshop with embellished shoulders. This versatile piece dresses down the trousers, and I think with a pair of tan brogues (watch this space- they are high on my wish list!) this would make a great outfit for wearing to a day of university lectures.

I styled my hair with my Babyliss conical wand and the result is this gorgeous wavy look! It doesn't last very long in my hair unfortunately- I really need to find a wavy style that does though, because I love the softness this look creates.

I hope you are all having a good week! I can't wait for it to finally be Autumn (my favourite season!) so I can wear my cosy knits and layer up with scarfs, hats and accessories- does anyone feel the same?

OOTD: 11/04/13 'Where the Wild Things Are'

I thought this top was so cute when I saw it on the Topshop website that I just couldn't resist it! It's not something I would normally go for but I can't seem to stop buying prints and monochrome this season- as you can probably tell from my recent posts! The panther on the front is stitched not printed and the jumper is a really soft knit making it feel more luxurious. I've paired it with this simple jersey skater skirt, also from Topshop, but the top would look equally nice with black skinny jeans or riding pants. I added the orange bag for a splash of colour and (unashamedly) I have orange nails to match! 

For this look I wanted a softer, more relaxed hairstyle so I hunted out my Babyliss Conical Wand from the bottom of my wardrobe! Although the curls don't last very well on me (my hair is very uncooperative!) they fall out into nice waves and I think it's a style I'm going to use on my hair more often.

This outfit is perfect for the 'in-between' season we are having at the moment. Not quite warm enough for Spring clothes but moving away from the arctic temperatures in England lately. I can't wait to wear this outfit when I return to university tomorrow!
