My Autumn Staple - OOTD
I haven't done an OOTD on my blog in sooo long, so I thought as the weather in the UK is very autumnal now, this would be the perfect time to!
This jumper has very quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. It is super comfy and easy to throw on with a pair of thick tights. It's quite over-sized as well, and in general I love it! It's long enough to pass as a dress (although it is slightly on the short side), yet has the warmth that many thin dresses don't give you.
A thick and warm blanket scarf is essential for the autumn/winter months, and this tartan one is one of the best clothing items I own. It goes perfectly with anything - I purchased it last year and have no need to replace it.

August Favourites!
Hi!
August has flown by, and we've somehow suddenly found ourselves in September! Here's what I've been loving throughout the previous month - let me know your faves in the comments below.
Suedette Bomber Jacket // £35 // New Look
It may have been summer, but in the UK, the weather rarely reflects that. I found that I spent most the month in this jacket. The beige, neutral tones within the jacket make it perfect for summer wear, and the material is light. Inside the jacket it is silky, so you don't get too hot, but you are also very comfy. This is personally one of the classiest bomber jackets that I've come across and I absolutely love it. I think I'll be living in this in winter this year too, as it is just beautiful! If you don't purchase this yourself, you are missing out!
Adidas Gazelles (Mint & White) // £75 // Adidas
I never used to be into trainers, but recently, I've been obsessed! Adidas have massively upped their game from the unfashionable but comfortable trainers that I used to wear as a child in year 9 P.E lessons to shoes that everybody desires. I decided to splash out on these, and I don't regret a thing. The mint is nice and subtle, easy to pair with jeans and leggings, but also shorts and skirts (when it's hot enough). I think that these look so cute, and they're also incredibly comfy - I've walked round London and Brighton without getting blisters. At £75, they are a little pricey, but worth saving up for.
Millie Marotta's Tropical Wonderland Colouring Book // £5 // Amazon
This book shows that you can be creative and have fun without breaking the bank. I received this a few months ago as a birthday gift from a friend to de-stress (they all know I stress out at everything, urgh) and have been loving it. I hadn't had much time to use it as I had college full time, but over summer, I've been loving sitting at my desk, reminiscing of a fun childhood full of colour. I think my favourite thing about this has to be that you can make this entirely your own - every person can colour in one section in different colours and exactly how they want it. I made a pineapple pink, purple and red, for example - I thought yellow was too boring!
'Clue' - Period Tracking App // FREE // Apple Store
So I feel like raving about a period app isn't very normal, but I'm going to do it anyway! This app is incredible - you can track your period so easily with this. When you download the app, you enter a few basic details, such as your birthday, weight, and height. The app works out when you are due based on your last cycle, and gives you an estimate on when that should come on the calendar. It also gives you a 'fertility window', if you are trying for a child (I'm obviously not, but useful for people that are!) It looks super clean, and by being called 'clue' on your homescreen, you no longer have to worry about that awkward moment boys look on your phone, as it's unlikely they'll know what it is. I actually enjoy waking up and filling out the symptoms part. I'd really recommend this!
So that's what I've been enjoying this month! Let me know what you've been trying out below :)

Autumn Wishlist
Hi,
These are some items I'm lusting after and are definitively must-haves in my eyes!
These are some items I'm lusting after and are definitively must-haves in my eyes!
1) Denim Dungarees - £26.99, New Look
These look super comfy and I'm totally into ripped skinny jeans at the moment, so these are very appealing to me! You can never go wrong with a bit of denim, whatever season.
2) Revlon Lipstick in 'Black Cherry' - £4.99, Superdrug
I have a couple of the Revlon 'Lip Butter' lipsticks, and I absolutely love them. It's quite a daring colour, but I love it! This is a very autumnal shade and looks gorgeous. I will definitely be picking this up soon!
3) A-Line Rust Skirt - £19.99, New Look
As I'm about to start college, it's definitely an excuse to buy some more clothes! I love the colour of this skirt and the material looks lovely! I can imagine teeming this with a couple of high necked cowl tops and long boots - sophisticated but comfy!
4) Cranberry Twist Yankee Candle - £21.99, Yankee Candles
There's nothing more relaxing than warming up by lighting a candle, with your favourite snuggly slippers and some cute fairy lights. This is definitely a winter scent and having had Yankee Candles, I can say I love them and they last ages! I can't wait to pick this one up!
So there are my picks - what are you desperate to get for the autumn season? Let me know in the comments!
Love,
