Almost Monochrome.

I find that during the colder months even when it isn't raining I turn to darker colours, in other words I wear black or nearly block everyday. So while the majority of this outfit is black, I chose to break it up with my velvet skirt, not only to add a touch of colour but to add texture and layers. I would normally wear a skirt that covers the end of the dress but today I hitched it up a notch on my waist to show off the stripes at the bottom as well.

This week has been quite relaxed for me, mainly because most of my university work at the moment is reading, which is something I could do everyday anyway. That and I know that the week coming up is going to be very hectic as I will be balancing blogging, university and attending Oxford Fashion Week. I am not attending all of the shows but it is still quite the commitment.

I am absolutely in love with this slouchy roll neck jumper it is perfect for any ocasion I can definitely see me dressing it up for meals out and wearing it with loungewear. Recently I have been rediscovering all my basic pieces that are completely versatile, I have found that by wearing one of these pieces with anything else in my wardrobe makes me look so much more put together. I have worn these jeans endlessly since I got them last year, yep even more than my plain jeans. If you live somewhere colder wear tights underneath for extra warmth.

Not my usual outfit, especially at this time of year but I am in love with this Eyelashes top. It isn't something I would normally pick but after so deliberation and seeing one of my permanent style inspirations Taylor Swift wearing a button down shirt with a similar design how could I not invest? I am not someone who can wear all tight clothing during the day, I am just not that brave so I added this cosy knit cardigan which I stole from my Mum's wardrobe to make the look more casual.




There are advantages to being the age that I am, one of which is not having to define my personal style, I mean sure I generally stick to the preppier side of things but I also like to mess around with my look. I am in my first year of university with no expectations on the way I should dress on a day to day basis, and I want to let my imagination run wild with clothes. Fashion is what you by, style is how you wear it.

Haven't You Heard What Becomes of Curious Minds?

I have been listening to probably too much of "Wonderland" by Taylor Swift but hey there are worse things I could be doing. This outfit was just something I grabbed out of my wardrobe under the realisation that I had 10minutes before I had to leave for the cinema with my friend but on reflection I loved it and quickly grabbed a few pictures when I got home again. I will never stop loving this location by my house to take outfit shots the lighting is always good, if we get any sun that is...The last few weeks have been hectic, I haven't spent more than 3 nights sleeping in the same house for the whole of the festive period with visiting J, London and Oxford. Hopefully over the coming month I will stay at home for longer periods of time and get everything organised for next semester as well as taking more outfit photos. Duh.

Strange things did happen here.





No stranger would it be.

As November draws to a close that layers have begun to increase slowly along with the number of pairs of tights I am washing per week. Fortunately this morning I had a bit more time on my hands to wear something other than my usual jeans and a tee combo like the majority of students (I couldn't go without my daily Converse though). This outfit has the advantage that not only am I warm due to the abundance of layers, but you still look put together thanks to the lace. I chose to spin a more grungy look today but I might experiment with a more vampy look when I wear this dress out at night.

P.S. If you haven't already listen to the The Hanging Tree from the Mockingjay Part 1 Score, it is hauntingly good.

Cobbled Backstreets

I never thought I would be one for long skirts and the Chelsea boot but alas the moment has come that I am dressing to match the presence of the city I live in. Living in Oxford but not going to one of the colleges is weird because you can still act like a tourist when you roam the cobbled back streets surrounding Oxford University. (I study at Oxford Brookes just so you know). This deep green skirt reminds me of the ivy that used to grow around my garden back in Devon as well as that I definitely feel impeccably well dressed every time I wear it making it one of this winters staples for me! Alongside the usual culprits my moto jacket and suede Chelsea boots.
