Vintage Child

 
 
As some of you may have noticed one of my favourite vintage inspired things is Vintage Child clothing! The online shop run by a lovely lady called Amy has a wide range of clothes and accessories ranging from dresses and play suits to broaches and bags.
 
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to model some of their beautiful clothes with my bright blue hair which i adored- here are some of the results!

All available at Vintage Child and ASOS Marketplace
 
All the people I got to work with were really kind and encouraging and I would definitely recommend Vintage Child's clothes. The other models working with me on the assignment were Jess, Suzanne and Alexandra- check them out they have have some stunning images!
                                                 
All in all it was a really lovely day and I hope to do more shoots like this soon!

Satchels We Salute You!

A Rainbow of Satchels

Satchels are all in at the moment- which I am absolutely loving! The designs come in every shape, size and colour imaginable so the possibilities are endless!

The Cambridge Satchel Company design and make the most beautiful bags I have ever seen so fingers crossed I will be receiving one for my 16th at the end of November, as it is right at the top of my list!

This gorgeous floral satchel is currently working as my school bag- the Accessorize holdall is the perfect size to fit all my necessities  and the colours are stunning! Its priced at £35 but I think its worth every penny!
 

 
These £8 Primark satchels are great if you're watching your money- I bought the black and cream one last Autumn for a fraction of the price and it's still going strong!
 
So go on! -Treat yourself this Autumn and let me know which one you choose!

A coat is a signature piece of clothing for every girl when the cold bite of Autumn makes an appearance. But finding the perfect one to suit your needs can certainly be a battle! If you haven't got the dosh to splash out on 10 gorgeous coats it's key to find the one that ticks all the boxes!

The Military

This characteristic style coat has changed and developed over the years but has still remained a classic. Short, mid and long length styles are available offering a wide range of  versatility. Burberry's take on this coat, shown above, is a timeless replica of the original trench coat, but if you fancy something more simple, elegant or a bit different have a look at the ones below!
  
Green: £95 at Littlewoods
Red: £40 at Peacocks
Blue: £125 at ASOS 
                       

The Duffel

The Duffel coat is another military inspired coat that is sure to keep you snug in the frosty winter mornings. The stunning Gloverall coat is simple, gorgeous but will set you back £275! So if your budget is considerably less take some inspiration from the ones below!


Beige: £48 at ASOS 
Purple: £80 at Miss Selfridge
Leopard: £85 at Topshop


The Parka


The Parka coat has to be one of my absolute favourites! The neutral green colour and sumptuous fur detail make this coat a perfect buy! Shake things up a bit with funky colour and exciting features

Green: £55 at Dorothy Perkins
Red: £69 at Littlewoods

The Fur

This style coat is 100% sure to keep you warm and is certainly in fashion. If you are not a fan of the price or concept of a real fur coat there are plenty faux styles out there for you to chose!
