ACCESSORIES: METAL BOBBLE CLIP

BOBBLE CLIP: PRIMARK

An easy and inexpensive way to add a contemporary twist on a perfectly sleek ponytail. One of my personal peeves is when I have my bobble showing if my hair is tied up or back so I normally wrap a piece of my pony tail around to conceal the hair band. How could I walk past these in Primark? I couldn't because I am a sucker for metal hardware looking type things. These bobble clips come in packs of two - one silver and one gold. Admittedly I don't use the gold one because I am more of a silver person but the pack of two cost around £1 or £1.50 so who cares, the gold is at the back of one of my drawers for the days I need a change. The only thing that I personally found with these is that they aren't that big and sometimes I have had to fight to clip it around my bobble. They also come with a really thick bobble attached but I just simply cut mine off because no way it would of gone round my hair then. Unnecessary add ons, not cool.

OUTFIT: BIG BOOTS BIGGER COAT

COAT: ALEXANDER WANG X H&M | JUMPER: TOPMAN | LEGGINGS: PRIMARK | BOOTS: TOPSHOP | SUNGLASSES: ALEXANDER WANG X H&M | BAG: DUPE CELINE 

Yep, this is me being totally consumed and absorbed by my abnormally large Alexander Wang x H&M coat and I am not complaining! The perfect coat for battling wind, rain and in this case snow - around ten minutes after these photos were taken it started snowing. British weather problems. Although I much prefer the sun and summer months I do much prefer wrapping myself inside a cocoon of clothes and fabric and this coat is pretty much perfect and I can't see the weather warming up anytime soon so great, i guess.  

Obviously a coat so huge needs to be balanced out by a pair equally large pair of boots, all hail the leather over the knee boots. These boots were actually my first ever purchase that I used my student overdraft for, so naughty but I wanted needed them and then it all went downhill from there but that is a different story. So considering I am in my 3rd year of my degree these boots are three years old so a little scuffing but nothing major. They have served me well.

Although it snowed yesterday, Valentines Day was a day that warranted the wear of sunglasses and these are my go to pair that I always keep in my bag. Also a frenzied online H&M collab purchase.

Oh & I can't stop listening to T.L.O.P. Totally obsessed.

ACCESSORIES: WHAT I WEAR ON MY FINGERS

LEFT HAND: ALL PANDORA | RIGHT HAND: GIFT

These are the rings that I wear everyday. Simple & Silver. I have a real big problem where I don't tend to wear anything fussy, especially when it comes down to jewellery and my main vice is if I take jewellery off I almost always forget to put it back on, that is how dozy I am. I figured that if I invest in sterling silver rings instead of costume jewellery then I never have to take my rings off - so I don't! Ok ok, so some people would argue that of course you have to remove rings, silver or not and some may gasp in horror that yes I actually take a shower and get them wet! Its fine guys, live a little. 

STYLING: BOYFRIEND SERIES

All black everything. Plain & simple. No fuss.

STYLING: PORTFOLIO WORK

So here are the finished images from a photoshoot that I recently styled and creatively directed. I love the clean crisp minimal aesthetic and the amount of negative space paired with the oversized boxy silhouettes of the clothes.

All images were edited by me.
