That Winter Warmer

Autumn and Winter blogger wardrobe staples with photography from Alexandra Cameron

Autumn and Winter blogger wardrobe staples including Olivia Burton Watch with photography from Alexandra Cameron

Poncho: . Boots: . Leggings: Zara. Watch: Olivia Burton via . Necklace: .

Every couple of months I'll discover a new outfit. You know the one that you'll wake up wanting to wear every single day of the week? Effortless, easy, simple.

Hush are one of my favourites to go to for incredible quality basics. This has already been worn to death - and I know I'll be purchasing another before winter is up. It hangs like a dream - goes perfectly over any items of clothing, not to mention it's extremely cosy and warm. I love tucking my hair in to the roll neck too - it means I don't have to bother styling, which is always a winner!

My biker-esque leggings from Zara have had their fair share of wear since I purchased them earlier this year. A match made in heaven, these gorgeous with contrasting leather straps from DUO make the perfect combination for casual day wear.

Last up is the newest addition to my arm candy. An Olivia Burton dream from the . It's a slightly edgier, more masculine feel from the brands usual pretty illustrations but I absolutely love it. The dial is a nice chunky size making it a spot-on statement piece of jewellery and the black, thin strap means it goes with everything. Perfection.

ASOS: The AW14 Co-Ord

An Outfit Post featuring ASOS Co-ord Knitted T-Shirt and skirt

ASOS Co-Ord: Top & Skirt. Missguided Boots (Similar here). Hat. Bag. Vintage Belt. Kelseys Feathers Clip. Missguided Trench Coat.

It's safe to say everyone went nuts for co-ords last season and there doesn't seem to be any stopping them transitioning beautifully over to A/W. I own a couple, but the floral trend didn't do much for me and I've been awaiting the monochrome pieces to drop for Autumn like a dog on heat.

This fluffy set of joy from ASOS has successfully satisfied every bone in my fashion loving body. Spotted detail with a super soft texture and lightweight feel it's not only cute but the cut is extremely sophisticated. And don't let the fluffiness put you off - there's no moulting or itchiness here, just pure and utter, blissful comfort.

It's outfits like this that make me so stupidly excited for Autumn.

Brush Your Shoulders Off

Cream Jumper: Missguided*. Faux Leather Shorts: . Feather Hair Clip: Kelsey's Feathers*. Boots: Missguided*. Hat: Urban Outfitters.

Right now is my favourite time - we've just about sucked as much as we can out of summer in the UK and we're safely making our way to the Autumn transition, which means one thing: best wardrobe period.

This off the shoulder cropped jumper from Missguided is perfection. Thick enough to take through to the winter months, but baring enough of the skin to keep you cool, it hangs beautifully over literally any item of clothing.
Today, I've paired it with my first ever pair of which can I just say are the comfiest effin' shorts my booty has ever experienced.

To soften the look I've added my beloved earrings and hair clip from Kelsey's Feathers. The love I have for Kelsey's online etsy store goes above and beyond a healthy obsession. Handmade to order and shipped all over the world these beauties help to give any outfit a chic, bohemian feel - not only are they mega affordable but shipping costs less than most UK stores. Gimme them ALL Kelsey, I'm in love, girl.

What I Wore | That Spring Feeling

Mom Jeans: Ark Clothing. Boots: Joules. Blouse: Little Mistress*. Headscarf: Becksondergaard*.

It’s spring, which means the fields that smell like sneezes are in bloom and naturally bloggers take full advantage.

Once again I’m embracing my country bumpkin wardrobe and have totally fallen back in love with my Ark mom jeans – teamed with Chelsea boots, a tucked up Little Mistress oversized blouse and loosely tied head scarf I think the brief is fulfilled and it’s pretty much all I’ve been wearing lately.

Silk headscarves are the perfect addition to spring/summer essentials and the light fabric means it won’t slip off at every given opportunity. Also, the heavy fabric of this textured top means it can be tied back easily without losing shape to create an oversized crop and I just love the individuality of the long sleeves.

Spring just reminds me how much I love living in the countryside. We really do live in a wonderful world.

What I Wore | Monochrome Stripes

Stripe Shirt: Choies*. Mini Skirt: Choies*. Patent Shoes: Shoe Zone*. Belt: Vintage. Necklace: Lola and Grace.

A black mini skirt is essential to any girls wardrobe – whether it’s leather, corduroy or cotton it’s the item that pretty much goes with anything. This structured one from Choies is every kind of awesome – the pleats means it makes you look like a bad-ass ballerina and is easily dressed down with some pretty perfect patent shoes from Shoe Zone. For less than £15 they’re my new favourite pair – I mean, who doesn’t like feeling like a school child when they’re nearly 25? And being almost an exact match to a pair of £70 Dr Martens, I think we’re on to a winner, right? Right.

Stripes are also creeping their way in to my wardrobe this spring and this blouse makes me think of something you’d discover in the likes of COS, Zara or & Other Stories, but at a fraction of the price. The fabric hangs beautifully and is light enough to wear with rolled up sleeves on those warmer days.

What I Wore | It's A Man's World

Coat: American Apparel (similar here). Leggings: Zara. Top: & Other Stories. Boots: Joules*. Bag: Bagwise*. Glasses: Topshop. Earrings: Chelsea Doll*. Bumble Bee Clips: Little Nell*.

Well how bloomin’ lovely to have the sun shining for once, eh? This weekend was super lovely – I spent it visiting Zoe and we had a jolly good time. Naturally, I took advantage of her skills and made her take some outfit snaps for me ;) (she loves it, honest!).

Even though the weather was so glorious yesterday, I wasn’t quite ready to put aside my new coat – we all know how much I love coats and this one is my new best friend. I’m quite partial to baggy fitting clothes and this number no doubt makes me look like a man, but hey, I’m okay with that.

I’ve also discovered the perfect handbag from Bagwise – it literally fits my entire life in it. With three sections, zips and pockets galore it’s any girls dream. I love the green shade and soft leather-like feel – I’m a faff free kinda gal and love simplicity in handbags, so this one ticks all the boxes.

You know I love my basics - leggings, tees and boots but sometimes, when dressing like a boy, one must add a touch of glam and girly-ness. I ruddy love these earrings from Chelsea Doll, they instantly lift this outfit and paired with my beautiful little bumble bee clips from Little Nell I feel like I want to wear my hair up all the time!

Thank you to Zoe for taking these shots and for working her magic on the editing...she’s one clever girly and don't hesitate to contact her to discover all the amazing services she offers <3

Enjoy the sun my loves, keep smiling!

What I Wore | A Pop of Pink

Hat: Topshop. Bag: Nica Handbags. Coat: Zara (similar here) Skirt: Fashion Union*. Top: Karma Clothing*. Necklace: Strange of London*. Earrings: Little Nell*. Boots: Joules*

Every now and then I will let a pop of colour slip in to my wardrobe and today it’s in the form of a coat and skirt. Running with the 60’s vibe, this beautiful little miniskirt from Fashion Union epitomises the era and the small dogtooth detail helps to keep it current - I love the soft tones and the way it compliments my trusty Zara coat.

Whilst my heart will always be true to my love for foxes, I have recently taken quite the interest in bumble bees - especially in the form of jewellery. This beautiful honeycomb ball necklace comes from a new discovery, Strange of London. Taking inspiration from the beautifully British countryside, creating innovative pieces to help raise awareness of the natural world that surrounds us. I love how dainty it is and that it sits perfectly in-between my collarbones. Paired with these gems from Little Nell, I love the contrast of the turquoise against my red lips and hair, helping to break up the outfit.

I always find a miniskirt quite the task to style, but this long sleeved cropped polo neck from Karma Clothing feels like it was made for it. It sits perfectly just above my belly button and meets the skirt showing just the right amount of midriff...I mean, it’s a day time look so we wan’t to keep a little covered. The fabric is soft and silky and the sleeves are loose enough to be able to roll up, which is something I love (big hater of super tight arms on tops!)

Of course, I wouldn’t be going anywhere without a pair of boots and I’m pretty sure I’ve found perfection in these bad boys. Joules are a locally founded store to me and their countryside clothing vibe is clear to see in these pair of tan Chelsea boots. It’s so lovely to know that these exact shoes were handmade in my hometown, it just makes me love them even more. Not only do they fit like a glove, but I absolutely love the blue tag to the back and the floral detail that fills the inside – it’s like slipping my foot in to a little shoe garden...perfection.
