Comfy-cool


Hello!

Today I have had a whole day at the library (still here...) so this morning I wanted to wear something comfy yet still cool and chic.

These are my favourite leggings, I got them from TJ Maxx when I was in New York for $4.99! I have never heard of the make before, but they are thick which is great for the freezing weather here in London. I also love the pattern - I'm not quite sure what is it but I get a kind of celtic vibe from it. 

Of course the reason I got them is because of the lush purple colour. It looks slightly different in the two photos but it's a nice dark lilac. I also wore my Supergra's today, which I thought looked good with the purple. Supergra's are so comfortable and also affordable. I got mine last year from TK Maxx for £19.99, and even after wearing them a lot they have lasted which I'm impressed with.


I definitely need some more leggings for the exam period, as they are so much more comfortable than jeans and if you get the right pair can make an easy going but nice outfit.

Topshop steals!

Hello again!

After going into London yesterday, I couldn't help but treating myself to some goodies in the Topshop sale.

As we all know, Topshop has become ridiculously expensive, even with the student discount. Everything is very overpriced, so I only buy things from there when they put on one of their fantastic sales.

Teddy bear coats are quite popular at the moment, with Kim Kardashian and one of my style icons Alexa Chung both wearing them. I was lucky enough to find one of the last teddy fur pea coats (which have a slightly different material than the classic teddy bear coat) for £40 down from £79 yesterday! 

I love the soft material of the coat, it really does feel like a teddy bear. The vibrant blue colour goes with most of my wardrobe, so I will definitely be wearing it non stop. It's also, unlike lots of coats I've previously bought at Topshop, very warm. With this very on and off weather we're having, it's a perfect winter coat that will brighten up your outfit.

The inside is lined with a comfortable silky material, and it's fitted so doesn't look baggy or anything. I love it!

I also treated myself to these cute little Polar Bear socks, which were only a pound! 
The Topshop sale is brilliant for cute little pants and socks, as they get reduced to £3-£1 and they are of a much better quality than the ones sold in Primark for the same price.

So all together I spent £41, but I got another £4.10 off with my student discount. Because the sale is almost coming to an end, lots of items are getting reduced even more, so go and have a look to see what steals you can find!
