I found this jumper in the <a href="http://www.frenchconnection.co.uk/" target="_blank">French Connection</a> sale at the very beginning of summer but at over £50 my unemployed budget would never allow it. My mum also pointed out to me that it was not the most practical jumper with so many cut outs. <br />
<br />
I wanted to prove her otherwise. <br />

Luckily a month later I spotted the jumper again but this time with even more money off. Don't you just love it when that happens? I always believe in fate with clothes. Some pieces are just meant to be! <br />

This time of year is perfect for getting the latest look at an affordable price. With so many high street shops offering extra discount and student 'lock-ins' appearing all over the shop (couldn't resist), you really have no excuse but to indulge. I have already been raving about <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/" target="_blank">River Island</a> this season all over this blog, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this flyer a few days ago. If you are still a student I urge you to check out these special discount days. Tonight, the Cardiff <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters</a> is offering a student lock in with a fabulous 20% off everything. So make sure you know what is happening in your local area. These are my favourite pieces in River Island at the moment and ones that I will be definitely seeking with this discount.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">This week technology appears to be my enemy. Not only has my laptop decided to breakdown, but when I use the computers at University they seem to want to reject my every word. Take this blog post for example, why does the computer suddenly not have my default font? So I have to type it up in word first and then find my usual font. I just cannot bear inconsistency. Can you tell I am a perfectionist yet? I always find technological disasters happen all at once. Almost like a domino effect. The moment one buckles they all follow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">But, I did manage to take some pictures of a dress I brought last week. I have been meaning to do a post about this dress the moment I brought it but, as you can see, technology has other ideas. I went shopping looking for the perfect dogtooth print to update my wardrobe and in my mind I thought of some trousers. However when I saw this dress in <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/" target="_blank">River Island</a> I could not resist. There was a special offer too so I managed to snatch it for £20. I have already worn it numerous times, dressing it up for night or down for day. In these pictures I have accessorised with a statement monochrome necklace from H&M and stud belt. I kept the colours simple this time but I have also worn it with neon accents, which works particularly well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I have found so many pieces that have fast become my favourites in my wardrobe. I recommend anyone to head over there now if you want something to really make an impact on your style. Plus, they are doing a range of student events at the moment. With an extra 20% off you really need no excuse! </span></div>

For those who are not regular readers of my blog, a quick sum up. I have recently moved to Cardiff and started my dream post grad course of Magazine Journalism at the University. Alongside getting to grips with a new course and living in a new city I just have not had the time to shop! Which is completely insane seeing as I live so close to one of the greatest high streets I have ever seen, including a HUGE <a href="http://www.topshop.com/" target="_blank">Topshop</a> FYI. But, before I tackle the shops this weekend I thought I would do some research into what I should be investing my money in this season. I am bored of buying things in the sales which I wear once and throw away. Although I love a bargain I seemed to have lost sight of quality over quantity. Anyway, here is what I need to be buying on the high street: <br />

For a while now I have been lusting after the matching suits that are filling the high street stores. Warehouse currently do an amazing concoction of jacquard printed outfits that would look amazing in the office but also as a transitional outfit into the evening. However I have never treated myself as my head has always asked, "when on earth would you wear that?" After all, I am not in the office just yet. Hence my excitement over seeing this two piece from <a href="http://www.topshop.com/" target="_blank">Topshop</a> as I believe it offers a more casual nod to the look. I love the fact it is a jumper and skirt which would look amazing together but work equally as well as separates. This is the sort of thing I would never normally buy, but really should. It is the perfect on trend outfit that could be worn many ways!<br />

Okay. Yes. This shoe is £100, and I am a student who cannot afford a Nandos at the moment, but, bear with me. I never spend a fortune on shoes, my mum has always told me to buy leather ones as they are the only ones that last but because I am such a heavy footed walker (attractive) I seem to ruin those as well However when I spotted these on <a href="http://www.zara.com/" target="_blank">Zara</a> online I just thought, wow, what a statement. Everywhere from <a href="http://www.primark.com/" target="_blank">Primark</a> to <a href="http://www.mango.com/" target="_blank">Mango</a> there are studded shoes on the high street but never ones that quite look like these. I could dress them up or down and they would make even a t-shirt and jean combo look stylish. Can you tell I am trying to convince my bank balance that this is a great buy? <br />

I was spoiled for choice searching this site and will definitely make it my first stop this weekend. I have been looking for a bomber for ages, but wanted one that would suit the colder months. This one is perfect, but the price tag is slightly high. Maybe I should start playing the lottery? This skirt also caught my eye as I do not own many and I love the on trend cross print. Finally these lavish leggings will jazz up my over-sized t-shirts or under dresses.<br />

There is so much in <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/" target="_blank">River Island</a> at the moment, it really is one of their best seasons. I have managed to get two great dresses in there recently which will work for day or night (outfit post soon) with the student discount that is in <a href="http://www.company.co.uk/" target="_blank">Company Magazine</a>. It is only £1 this month and a discount in <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/" target="_blank">River Island</a> is so rare so quickly go grab your own copy before October hits. This t-shirt dress is basically what I always try and buy when I go shopping but never do. I think my reasoning is £30 is a lot of money for a plain grey dress but I always forget that I really need more day dresses. I wish my wardrobe was just dresses really as then wouldn't getting ready in the morning be so much easier?<br />
<br />
So these are my favorite high street pieces that are in store at the moment, what do you think? Have you decided to change your shopping habits?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05970916809826432509noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133685448068096955.post-86031792846911781882012-09-18T16:12:00.000+01:002012-09-18T16:12:32.696+01:00Sheer: Inspired by Topshop Unique S/S 2013 for Autumn 2012<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Ever since last Friday I have been glued to the twitter feed on my phone. I have moved into my new flat in Cardiff and won't have proper internet until mid October, an obvious nightmare for a blogger, so I might be a bit AWOL until then. However I have managed to throw this post together, but apologies for the picture quality, I had to compress the pictures and it has not done the picture any favours (note to self never do this again). Anyway, back to last Friday. Of course the reason for my latest Twitter addiction is London Fashion Week.One of the shows to really catch my eye was <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&categoryId=698154&interstitial=true&TS=1346936409020&intcmpid=W_HERO_HP_UK_WK3_UNIQUE_LIVE" target="_blank">Topshop Unique</a>. As I am a high street fashion addict I always await this show with pride. I think it is fabulous a high street retailer can make the catwalk. </div>

For spring 2013 <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&langId=-1&viewAllFlag=false&categoryId=698154&interstitial=true&TS=1346936409020&intcmpid=W_HERO_HP_UK_WK3_UNIQUE_LIVE" target="_blank">Topshop Unique</a> embraced the 'sheer' trend and I loved it! By sheer luck (excuse the pun) I found this gorgeous black panelled top in <a href="http://www.hm.com/" target="_blank">H&M</a> in the sale (£10). I thought it hinted to next seasons trend perfectly and would be a great update for my wardrobe.</div>

I wore it last night and thought I better take a few pictures as I never do a 'night out' outfit post. I teamed this sheer top with a neon bandeau top which co-odinated with my new neon <a href="http://www.hm.com/" target="_blank">H&M </a>necklace (£6.99), a faux leather skirt from <a href="http://www.wallis.co.uk/" target="_blank">Wallis</a> and simple black wedges from <a href="http://www.newlook.co.uk/" target="_blank">New Look</a>. I really loved this outfit especially the dipped hem at the back with different sheer panels. </div>

Yesterday I found this little beauty in the <a href="http://www.missselfridge.co.uk/" target="_blank">Miss Selfridge</a> sale. It was only £1 and although I had never thought to try out this trend before, it was worth a try at that price. I have been tempted for years to get the top of my ear pierced but my Mum's horror stories had always worked in a way to sway me against it. The ear cuff is the perfect way to achieve the same look, but without the pain. Hence I love this addition to my extensive jewellery collection.<br />
<br />
Today I teamed it with my new favourite <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/" target="_blank">River Island </a>jacket, a Levi denim dress and plain pumps. It was so nice to finally wear this jacket without feeling too warm, the cool breeze is actually welcome in my wardrobe. I love wearing Autumn clothes as I am a big fan of layering, it adds so much interest to your outfit. That's why I love this ear cuff, it makes this outfit a little extra special. I even went out today and brought another from <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/" target="_blank">River Island </a>for £4!<br />

I was recently in <a href="http://www.topshop.com/" target="_blank">Topshop</a>, a palace of treasures on Oxford Street, when I stumbled upon the bag collection. I say stumbled, the minute you enter the store you are surrounded by them. The smell of leather and plastic beautifully merged. I noticed that <a href="http://www.topshop.com/" target="_blank">Topshop</a> had really endorsed two particular bag styles, ones so old school they were chic. Reintroducing the rucksack and satchel, the perfect bags to cram all your stuff into! But which do you pick? Here are some of great examples from the high street:</div>

I decided to really have fun with my outfit, a sort of celebration of all the festival fashion I had witnessed this summer. I always feel quite shy wearing hats, but yesterday I did not think twice. I absolutely love this trilby from <a href="http://www.hm.com/" target="_blank">H&M</a>, it fits me perfectly so it always makes me think it was created just for me! I also wore my favourite <a href="http://www.glamorousuk.com/" target="_blank">Disco Pants from Glamorous</a>, if you want a pair<i> </i>I have seen them stocked in <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/" target="_blank">House of Fraser</a>, so you can even get them on the high street! This <a href="http://www.topshop.com/" target="_blank">Topshop</a> t-shirt is also one of my favourites as although I brought it last year it is still very much on trend. Finally my old faithful denim cut-off jacket from <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/" target="_blank">Miss Selfridge</a> is perfect for festivals as it keeps me cool but adds a little extra warmth. Oh! How could I nearly forget my bum bag, which I borrowed off my dad but somehow has stayed in my hands. It is my festival essential as you can dance freely but still have all your possessions handy.<br />

The whole day was fabulous. I have never been to a festival with such a nice atmosphere, everyone was so friendly and I loved the way you could bring your own picnic. It was like a giant garden party! Not to mention all the talented acts that entertained us all day. My personal highlights was Rebecca Ferguson who looked stunning in a gold dress and nude killer heels. Jessie J also smashed it and got everyone dancing from teenagers to fifty somethings. It was the perfect end to the summer. </div>

<a href="http://temporary-secretary.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Temporary:Secretary is a UK fashion and style blog</a> that has great pictures and content but also a fantastic personality. When I read other blogs I like to feel invited into their stylish world. Temporary:Secretary does just that. A few weeks ago I discovered that there was a jewellery store attached to the blog so I decided to take a look. The items range from ice cream earrings to moustache necklaces all at reasonable prices. If you like quirky pieces then this is definitely the place for you to search. They also do a 'lucky dip' section where you can purchase 5 mystery items for £10 or 12 items for £20. As there was too much choice, I decided to take the risk and ordered my lucky dip. </div>

Below are the results! When they arrived at my doorstep I was delighted to see the effort the company had gone to to make sure my items were delivered in great condition. Beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and ribbon, each item came in a little bag. I also received a free gift, a cute charm bracelet, with my order. I could not have been more chuffed, even my mum was impressed! She said it was like christmas!</div>

I was so pleased with all my items-so the risk certainly paid off. I also received a great multi-coloured chunky bracelet which is not shown here because my camera decided to run out of battery! The balloon necklace and ring went perfectly with my outfit today so I know I will wear all these items. I think the lucky dip concept is a great idea as a birthday present for your friends due to its pretty packaging! Not to mention the cute designs that are stocked at <a href="http://www.temporary-secretary.com/ourshop/cat_264447-Bracelets.html" target="_blank">Temporary:Secretary</a>, who can't love an apple core necklace?!<br />

Currently grey and neon are my favourite colour combination. So, when I saw this picture of Delilah performing at Topshop in Oxford Circus for <a href="http://insideout.topshop.com/2010/09/topshop-loves-vogues-fashion-night-out" target="_blank">Fashion Night Out</a>, I was compelled to blog. I love the neon lace peplum skirt teamed with the casual top. Kudos for adding some statement jewellery to the look too! Here is how to get this style:<br />

<br />
For me, I am neither a handbag or shoe kind of girl. I never get giddy over a new pair of shoes, in fact trying to find a pair of shoes that fit is always such a hassle I choose just not to look at my feet. (That explains why I rarely show my feet in outfit posts then..). Don't get me wrong I do get excited when I have a new bag to stuff all my junk into, but then I think I love it all a little too much. All too soon the straps break and I am left with a sorry state of leather.<br />
<br />
Jackets however, never let me down. I still have hanging in my wardrobe a velvet jacket from Topshop my mum bought me about seven years ago. It was one of my first 'fashion' buys and although it is a tight squeeze I always feel great when I put it on. I just remember the excitement in my stomach as my mum said she would treat me and feeling so grown up when I wore it that Christmas.<br />
<br />
A jacket can transform an outfit, making jeans and t-shirt suddenly a statement. In the same way as I will always champion costume jewellery, it is the finishing touch.<br />
<br />
This season in particular has got me very excited about my favourite layer as there is so much choice. Do I want a new parka? Maybe a bomber? Or even the lavishly embellished one? Luckily the high street has some great options. Here is a simple guide of what to wear this season following your favourite trends from <i>last</i> season.<br />

My boyfriend bought me the River Island leather mix parka before he left to go travelling. Whenever I wear it I am instantly comforted whilst he is away. I suppose every jacket tells a story.<br />

This summer has been a struggle as my search for a job was fruitless. But my salvation has been <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/">Ebay</a> as I have auctioned off my past high street buys to others. Throughout the past months I have kept up the habit and it has given me some much needed money. The irony that this money has been spent on more high street clothes has not been lost on me. It is just an endless cycle.<br />
<br />
Today I have spent the whole day sorting through my wardrobe, putting nearly thirty items onto <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/">Ebay</a> in the hope that others will love what I now cannot afford to keep. If you would like to see what I am auctioning, (today it ranges from leather trousers to cute embellished skirts) then please have a look at my ebay account <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/lulaj.7/m.html?item=170904711961&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&_trksid=p4340.l2562">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
If you do fancy bidding on some of my items lovely bloggers, then please let me know. If you win I will give you free postage as a thank you :)<br />
<br />
Have you relied on Ebay this summer? What has been your best ebay purchase?<br />

Here I am wearing an Adidas t-shirt with a high low grey skirt and stud belt from <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/">River Island</a>, then a fur gilet from <a href="http://www.next.com/">Next</a>. This is a great example of how to make your wardrobe transition into the next season. I am also not quite ready to let go of the sport luxe trend so have played around with that style here too.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend, I am off to have a girlie night in with my friends and then sort out my wardrobe tomorrow. What are your plans?<br />

I used to be a lover of Spring, with the warm air bringing the chance to wear flimsy dresses but also a cool breeze ensuring you always wore a jacket. Now Autumn is seducing me, and I cannot wait to start wearing jumpers and leather, lots of leather.<br />
<br />
Here are the top key pieces from the high street for next season and how I would style them for day and night:<br />

I love these sequin trousers from Topshop, I think they are a great alternative from the disco pant and this colour will be the 'must-have' of the season. Embracing the berry shades will be a essential. I really like this simple top too as it will look great with all the statement necklaces currently on the high street like this New Look one. The store is currently doing a promotion of buy one get one free so you can stock up on some beautiful necklaces to jazz up your outfits. To finish the look I have added this bomber jacket, a wonderful addition to your wardrobe that you can dress up or down. Finally I could not resist these toe capped heels which are a great height and prevent the outfit looking too gothic.<br />

In all the magazines layering appears to be a key trend for next season. I even saw some dresses over trousers, which I normally would never consider but can see it working with this dress from Urban. I like how it is asymmetrical so that you would only get a hint of these fabulous tartan trousers. I love all the boucle jackets on the high street so this Topshop one is a definite buy. I added some of these high tops purely for comfort and the fact I like mixing up casual pieces. This jewellery from Mango is so luxurious, and definitely worth a purchase.<br />

What do you think everyone? What are you buying ready for September?<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">This was, without a smudge of doubt, my hardest challenge. Football shirts are just a shapeless mass. How on earth was I going to make this semi-cool and fashion forward? On Saturday I am going to see my team (!) for the first time. I have supported Aston Villa since I was about nine, I think in an attempt to look cool in front of my older brother. Even though they hardly ever win (sorry guys) I have never wavered my support. But on Saturday I will be damned if I cant show my support </span><i style="text-align: start;">and </i><span style="text-align: start;">look nice. So after much thought all week I finally attempted to style the shirt. </span></div>

After my post about dungarees (<a href="http://imnotwearingvintage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/dungarees-how-to-style-this-late-summer.html">see here</a>) I realised I needed to get myself a pair! By complete luck I found these in<a href="http://www.hm.com/"> H&M</a> for a mere £10 in the sale, hanging on the rail alone. I absolutely love it when that happens; when the high street offers exactly what you need. They are slightly large but luckily it does not matter with dungarees as you can wear them baggy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had tried a denim skirt with the football shirt but it just looked too much, and I did not want to go for the safe option and just add jeans. Dungarees were the perfect alternative. At first I thought a statement necklace would make the shirt look better but soon realised I just looked OTT. I loved my new shoes with white socks though so decided to keep them in the look. Here is my final attempt: </div>

</tbody></table>
<br />
By adding a jacket and taking away the statement necklace I am finally happy with the styling. I like how the jacket hides a bit of the dungarees so it is a bit more subtle and ties in nicely with my white socks. This <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">Forever 21</a> necklace is perfect for adding fun to my outfit and does not distract completely from the shirt. Even though the shoes do clash, I surprisingly still love them as I think it brightens up the outfit.<br />

What do you think? Have I managed to style a football shirt?!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For some random reason I decided to take pictures today without any </span>make-up<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Normally I would make sure I had some blush and powder at least, but I thought it would be nice to blog completely natural. I have read a lot of outfit posts through the past year and always wondered whether they actually leave the house completely made up and wearing such extravagant clothes as we see. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, this is what I look like today. I love these trousers from <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/">Dorothy Perkins</a> as they are so comfy but still make me feel presentable. I always wear this lace shirt from <a href="http://www.primark.com/">Primark</a> with them as I love the lace inserts mixed with the flower print. Finally I added these collar clips as I did not fancy piling on the </span>jewellery<span style="font-family: inherit;"> today. I most probably won't leave the house as I have so many things to do. Hence the bare face! Whenever I know I'm staying in I always try to let my face breathe. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have also changed my make-up routine as I was getting tired of my skin breaking out due to an overload of foundation. I took the plunge a few weeks ago and tried No.7 BB cream and it has worked wonders. My skin is looking healthier already! </span></div>

How to Style this late Summer Trend Although in my title I have hinted that this is a late trend this summer it has actually been on the minds of celebs since May 2012. It however has only been brought to my attention through Rita Ora. Yesterday she performed at the V Festival wearing a pair of bright red dungarees.<br />

Since she became popular this year I have always envied her ability to throw together various garments and look effortless cool. My style is much more co-ordinated and however much I try I never feel comfortable clashing prints or colour. But I was a bit stumped by this outfit. Did she really need to add those<a href="http://www.soletrader.co.uk/Timberland-Nellie-Boots/pid-T14693BN"> Timberland boots</a>? <br />
<br />
But I didn't hate the dungarees. In fact with the whole one strap look it did actually look okay. I have had only one previous experience with this trend, aged about thirteen and swore never to go there again.<br />
<br />
Rita may have taken the plunge yesterday but through some research I discovered that this summer many other celebs have been donning their 'rees.<br />

Here Alexa has kept the look simple by just adding some statement accessories, I especially love the cute ties on her shoes. Rachel Bilson looks equally as casual as she teams her baggy dungarees with a simple white t-shirt. Unfortunately I think this looks a little sloppy compared with her normal chic outfits.<br />
<br />
If you still remained unconvinced by this trend, take some advice from Rihanna. She pulls of the look by adding a graphic t-shirt and rolling down the straps so that it only hints to the trend rather than embracing it completely.<br />

The other day I was thinking how much my local high street had changed. There have been some positive additions with a whole new shopping area, but also some more negative changes. The original high street that my Mum and I would wander down every Saturday is unrecognisable with <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/">M&S</a> the only store that has not shifted. One of my favourite shops when I was just getting into fashion, probably at the age of ten or so, was Tammy. One of my first fashion memories is begging my Mum to buy me a pair of baggy jeans. This was also one of my first fashion disasters! Tammy then brought me onto thinking about <a href="http://www.etam.com/">Etam</a>.<br />
<br />
Where did this brand suddenly disappear to? I cannot remember the last time I saw a store in the UK. After a quick search I found that <a href="http://www.etam.com/">Etam</a> had turned into a lingerie shop and was very popular in the rest of Europe. This made sense seeing as originally the brand was French. But in 2005 Arcadia brought Tammy and <a href="http://www.etam.com/">Etam</a> and placed it in its <a href="http://www.bhs.com/">BHS</a> stores.<br />
<br />
However, although <a href="http://www.etam.com/">Etam</a> appears to have lost its popularity in the UK it is still going from strength to strength. You just need to see who they have to front their campaign, supermodel Natalia Vodianova, for proof.<br />

Their Autumn/Winter 12/13 lingerie lookbook appears to hit all the boxes with its sexy but cute designs in a variety of styles. My favourite is the high waisted powder blue set.<br />

The website explains that Etam is coming back to the UK with an online store opening soon. Hopefully this will mean they will open some new shops in our high street too. But in the meantime you can visit their website and purchase the underwear from <a href="http://www.etam.com/">Etam.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Do you think it is a good thing Etam is back? Will you choose their underwear over brands like LaSenza and M&S? Please let me know below :)<br />

I've decided, as of today, that every Friday I will post the latest outfit which I have purchased. I am trying not to make this blog just pictures of what I wear as let's be honest, I am not model and my standard camera is just not cutting it.<br />
<br />
But I know everyone loves to see a bit of personal style so every Friday you will get just that! Today I have opted for a really casual look as my day consists of mooching about the house and then meeting up with my friends for a Lord of the Rings marathon. I just realised how incredibly geeky that sounds. Well, at least I look stylish whilst I'm watching my favourite Hobbit..<br />

This is one of my best bargain outfits as I managed to get these trousers for a mere £5 instead of £49.95! They are incredibly comfy and would look great with a blouse too for a night out. I love the silver stripe down the side as it hints to the sports luxe trend that is still about for Autumn. This top was a bit of an impulse buy at £15 in the sale but I could not resist the dip dye effect. I also knew it would brighten up these trousers nicely. I wanted to keep the sporty theme running (ahem excuse the pun) so added some wedge trainers. The <a href="http://www.topshop.com/" target="_blank">Topshop</a> necklace adds a quirky edge and hopefully prevents the look from becoming too 'at the gym'. </div>

A few weeks ago I finally caved. I recently purchased a pair of the black Disco Pant dupe by <a href="http://www.glamorousuk.com/p1303/Royal-Blue-Disco-Pants/product_info.html" target="_blank">Glamorous</a> but had to send them back due to an indecent hole. However because of their fantastic service (I was refunded the whole amount including postage, something which never happens with online sites), I decided to give them another try. If you are a regular reader of my blog you will know I have been lusting after a pair of the original <a href="http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/rsaah300.html" target="_blank">Disco Pants from American Apparel</a> ever since I spotted them on one of my favourite bloggers: <a href="http://www.littlebirdfashion.com/">http://www.littlebirdfashion.com/</a><br />
<br />
When they arrived in the post I was so excited. This time I had opted for the navy which I immediately preferred as the colour was so striking. I also decided to go a size up...hopefully this would prevent any more holes. They were a better fit as they fit well around my waist but did not feel uncomfortable. The moment I put them on I felt confident and was ready for a night on the town.<br />

I cannot rave about this trousers enough. They are priced at £29.99 so are a steal compared to the price tag on the Apparel ones. I normally strictly only feature high street products on this blog but could not resist writing about this find. The only difference is they are slightly thinner than the originals but I didn't notice much difference between the dupes and the American Apparel pants. ( I had to do some research into this trend so made sure I tried on the originals in the store before repurchasing these dupes).<br />
<br />
I had such a fun night wearing them as you can tell from the below picture. Much to the amusement of my friends however I did manage to gain another unsightly hole by the end of the night... I would not let this put you off though. I believe<a href="http://www.glamorousuk.com/p1303/Royal-Blue-Disco-Pants/product_info.html" target="_blank"> Glamorous</a> would not have intended them to be worn by someone pretending to be on the Olympic gymnastic team... Plus, after a quick stitch they are ready to be worn once more. <br />

Remember when Topshop used to drop their necklaces to £1 and make it buy one get one free!? Unfortunately those times have changed and nowadays you are lucky to pick up something for under a fiver.<br />
<br />
For my style accessories are key. When I don't have time to throw an outfit together with great precision I find a statement necklace can make all the difference. Today I rifled through H&M and found these two beauties waiting for me. They were buy one get one free (my favourite kind of offer) so at £7.99 for both I was pretty chuffed.<br />

This perspex necklace as been something I have debated buying for a few weeks now. I know what you are thinking, what drove me to purchase something that looks like a tacky pub golf visor? But I think its quirky and will totally make the most uninteresting outfit, well, interesting.<br />

Have you purchased some statement accessories recently? Please let me know if you have found any bargains too!<br />

The news that the reality stars from Keeping up with the Kardashians would be launching their fashion line in <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/" target="_blank">Dorothy Perkins</a> this Christmas took Twitter by storm yesterday. It was revealed through Kim's tweets and then confirmed.<br />

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe will be bringing the line, which they currently stock in Sears, to the UK. Philip Green reportedly agreed to the idea himself after already having successful celeb/high street collaborations in his Arcadia empire. Who could forget Kate Moss and her collections for Topshop, whilst recently his daughter Chloe Green has had great success with her green soled shoe line.<br />

Keeping up the with Kardashians has recently been my guilty pleasure this summer and I find the sisters hilarious. But in the back of my mind I cannot help but worry that this fashion line may not work with <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/" target="_blank">Dorothy Perkins</a> shoppers. It might have been more suited to the younger crowd in <a href="http://www.newlook.com/" target="_blank">New Look</a> after the popularity of Kelly Brook's designs.<br />
<br />
What do you think about this news? Will you be wearing a design by the Kardashians?<br />

So if you have sitting at home wondering what to do with yourself luckily Zara has the answer. Mourn the proudest two weeks in British history by wearing some of their new designs for autumn/winter 2012/13. It is all about black, black and more black.<br />

This is definitely my favourite look. I cannot wait for the cooler weather where I can pull on this chunky knit and leather skater skirt. Effortlessly chic.<br />

I woke up this morning and thought, today I'm going to wear those lace shorts I brought in the sale but thought I would never wear. Suddenly I was inspired to tackle this tricky trend. We all know that the pyjama pant has been all over the high street and looks greats with a loose vest and blazer. A trouser that looks incredibly chic. But these shorts were slightly trickier to style. I only decided to buy them because they were <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/" target="_blank">Urban</a> and a steal at £9 (could you have resisted?). They were also incredibly comfy and I had visions of adding some thick tights and a top for a cheeky night out.<br />
<br />
But today I've simply worn my favourite t-shirt and added accessories to try and prevent the outfit looking like it's bedtime. What do you think? Have I managed to pull off this look?<br />

Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of watching Team GB at Earls Court. It was for the women's Volleyball and I had an amazing day, witnessing an atmosphere unlike any other. There was music, cheerleaders and a continuous Mexican wave. Before the match I managed to buy a huge union jack scarf from Next that was great for waving in support. At £14 it was a bargain too!<br />

On Friday I jumped on the tube to Stratford and entered the Olympic park. For miles all I could see were swarms for people as they milled between the different venues. The architectural was incredible, the atmosphere spectacular. This time I would be seeing Men's hockey but unfortunately our session would not contain team GB. This did nothing to prevent me wearing patriotic colours however! Before we left for the park I managed to take these quick photos with my tripod.<br />
