Uni has made me the laziest person on Earth, I'm not even joking.  I just sit around looking on Asos at clothes I can't afford and watching TOWIE on I-player (don't judge me).  

I absolutely love my new Ralph Lauren shirt from cow vintage.  I've seen cow before but never actually been in the store, so I decided to drag my boyfriend in with me when I went to see him in Sheffield the other weekend.  Heaven.  I knew I couldn't leave the store empty handed so I picked this up for £18.  I adore the fact it's been altered from a men's shirt into a baggy crop with turned up sleeves.  Also, the collar has been removed so it has a round neck - you just can;t see because of how I'm wearing it.  I hope my boyfriend's taken the hint for present ideas... I paired it with my old baggy shorts from Primark as they have a hint of blue in so compliment the shirt well, and I like the clash with the orange leaf pattern.  

Flatforms are a must as it's finally Autumn!  I love my A/W wardrobe, I really do.  I dug them up from last year and fell all over again.  They're still in really good condition too, especially since the platform is black suede.  I expected it to go all ewwy from the rain last year.  You can't beat a good pair of frilly socks either.  For a girl who's constantly in skirts they're the perfect girly accessory!  At £1.50 from Primark they smash the prices charged at Topshop (though I do have 5 pairs from them).  

I ummed and ahhed over whether to invest in a new winter coat.  Unfortunately, due to my new student status a new coat can't top food and alcohol *cry*.  BUT.  Then I found my coat from last year and decided I didn't care...Faux fur is still in.  Monochrome is still in.  Oversized boyfriend coats are still in.  Why did I even think I needed one?  It's just the red boyfriend coat at Topshop being only £54 was calling my name.  Ah well, I still love this coat, it's so cosy.  And, I got stopped shopping a few weeks ago by a woman asking where it was from! So I guess every cloud has a silver lining!  She made me realise you have to make do with what you have and work it! (cringe).  

Ooh and how cute is my nana's old brooch?!  I saw it and a few others and begged for them - I succeeded.  It's so pretty, and can be put with anything!  I'll stop babbling now.  Happy Thursdays (specially cause I have Fridays off, score!)
