Camel Coats & Fine Jewellery

On NYE I headed out to get some fashion shots. I have been really excited to get some fashion posts and "what i'm wearing" posts up on here and hope to continue doing so.
I suffer from the cold a lot so I'm always on the lookout for warm but practical pieces for my wardrobe!
 
 
 First let me tell you how in love I am with these images! It would not have been possible without  photographer Richie Schaapkens, make up artist Colleen Carrah & fellow blogger/hair stylist Zoe Heseltine (Zotonixe.)

So if you're looking for something this style but you're on a bidget you'll be pleased to know this was very low cost from highstreet stores.

The coat is a current Primark buy and for a gorgeous sand shade and it is wool, I didn't think £25 was bad for a nice cut and shape.

My boots are very old New Look and paid £5 for them in a January sale a good while back! (super comfy and get lots of compliments on them)

This scarf is soo cosy and can be worn a few different ways - which I love. It also gives a nice contrast against this colour coat. Also a Primark buy from last year.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Moving on, my shirt is a lovely utility style shirt is a gorgeous powder blue shade. Layered under the sand coat it makes me think a lot about Ralph Lauren's classic colour palette. Again, Primark and cost me £10 and worn it so much already!
 
My necklace is a gorgeous design from Achica which I treated myself too. I may do an independent post on this so keep a look out. It is just a simple gold circle pendent but I really do love geometric shapes and feel this fine piece of jewellery really finishes my look off.
 
My skinny fit jeans are from H&M and they are a great fit for my shape. Being petite I do find it difficult to get a well fitting jean with a short length on the leg. However, I find these very good, with lasting colour, shape and at a good price I can't argue! (I have them in black, navy and khaki!)
 
 Can we all just to take a minute to appreciate the amazing work of Colleen & Zoe and Richie for capturing it! Please check out their work with the links at the end of this post - they seriously are cool cats!
 
 
 
 
Hope you like this outfit and feel inspired, let me know if you have any wintery staple buys which you just have to have in the comments.
 
 A huge thanks to the amazing team, without them this post would not have came to life how I imagined it. Follow their work via the links below:

Dancing Shoes & Shake A Tail Feather

At the end of November, New Look had a giant sale. Boy oh boy... I wanted to buy a lot of items! I ended up with a few staple items which I felt would be versatile and classic in my shopping basket. Among them were these beauties.... Rose Gold court heels! As if I'm not already obsessed with jewellery enough and all that sparkles, they go and make these amazing shoes.
 
 
 
 
I absolutely love a court heel. Simple, true & classic. Almost will never let you down and they seem to suit jeans, dresses, skirts, jumpsuits. You name it, the court heel matches...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Okay, so the price tag reads £22.99 but I actually paid £14.99 with the sale price, which makes them even more delicious! These are called the Bronze Asymmetric Pointed Court Shoes which don't appear to be listed anymore but there are some other lovely similar colours HERE. 
 
I'm a girl all about the detail so I'm loving this little wrap over detail. Most of my wardrobe is made
 up of a collection of simple pieces with glimmers of interesting details. By having a minimal wardrobe I can then either dress it up or down depending on the occasion.
 
 
 
 
Being in the midst of party season, I think these are the perfect heel for all festive celebrations!
 
 
 
 
 
Until new time...
