Spiked

After shipping a bunchof clothes away courtesy of eBay, I felt it was time to restock my wardrobe with a few little purchases:

After hunting after  Primarks Safari Jacket and having no luck my second love spikes won me over with this mesh polka dot spiked blouse! For only £12 ,I wish they had it in more colours:

Not often would I venture into Select clothing but after walking past and spotting this beaut in the window it was time for my first visit! After having the Topshop Suede Clutch costing £38 I couldn't believe this was only £6.80 with 15% student discount! I will be keeping my little eye on this shop....




This blog post has reiterated how obsessed I am with studs and spikes, Worn by half of the towie cast the peplum style goes perfect with my disco pants I first ordered the white from Boohoo.com however since then MissGuided have introduced it in Khaki, Burgundy & Black however I think I'm going to go for this wine colour from EBay:

Once you have the real Disco Pants, its hard to go for the cheap alternatives, I gave the River Island pair a try however they were more like shiny leggings along the same lines for the Very duplicates! However the replica that comes out top are these from EBay, they don't have the fly or high pockets so look better with longer tops such as the peplum style above! American Apparel still wins by a mile but if you cant afford or want an alternative colour I would opt for these at under £10:

Military Chic

Khaki and Army Print have placed top when it comes to my fave Autumn/Winter trend since McQueen, Burberry Prorsum and Victoria Beckham introduced military themes to the catwalk. However the High Street has done just as well to embrace the trend:

Zara provided us with a military fix throughout the Safari Jacket with Leather Sleeves retailing at £79.99!! Unfortunately for us it sold super quick, as fashion favourites such as Olivia Paleremo and Louise Thompson from MIC were spotted wearing it






Thankfully Topshop, River Island and Primark  jumped on the bandwagon to offer us an almost identical alternative


River Island - £55
Topshop - £65
Primark - £35

I purchased Toppers version, 1 because Primarks is virtually impossible to get your hands on and 2 River Islands hadn't arrived in store yet! :( I think I prefer the River Island one however Topshop is handy as its available in petite and tall!!
