October Loves...

01) The mustard knit and the gorgeous cable pattern makes this jumper pretty irresistible.  I'm sure my wardrobe could make some room to fit it in....! This could be teamed with jeans, shorts, dresses and would be perfect for cosy nights in front of the T.V. With a pretty hefty price tag of £89.50 from Jack Wills  it will be probably staying as just me lusting over it but it might make a sneaky appearance over on my Christmas list. But a girl can dream....

02) Urban Outfitters have such an amazing home collection offering quirky AND cute, this Scrabble-esque cushion is really cute and could work either on the sofa or on my bed! 

03) Another Jack Wills pick (can you tell I'm impressed by their collection for this season?!) this playsuit is somewhere in-between smart and casual, bit of a statement yet not as out there as co-ordinating outfits which I definitely don't have the confidence to wear. Isn't the print pretty? Once again this is priced at £89.50 (magic price going on there I think) BUT it is really nice!

04) Old ladyish? Yes. Impractical? Yes. Not really sure why I like these 'slippers' by Topshop so much but I do. Super cute and love the texturing pattern.

05) Another Topshop pick, these tapestry shorts are really nice and make me think if William Morris had done a collection for Topshop- this is what they would look like! Teamed with a pair of knitted tights, brogues and a cosy jumper this would make a dream outfit....only bummer is they are out of stock!

06) As a fan of all things glittery/sparkly this Models Own nail polish in 'Freak Out' as part of the Mirrorball collection ticks all the right boxes. Think of it as an autumn/winter version of American Apparel's galaxy one!

What do you think of my picks? What's on your wishlist for the month?

I'm back to full-time loving Ben Howard again, listen to this one called 'Bones' is amazing (tissues at the ready though)

The luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong

Dress: H+M// Jacket: Primark// Shoes: New Look

This is definitely one of my favourite outfits at the moment (apologies for my hair looking a slightly odd shade in the picture-I'll blame the setting sun!) as the dress is lovely and light but as it's sleeveless I'm teaming it with cardigans and my good old denim jacket for now until summer arrives. The dress came with a belt made from the same material as the dress but I've swapped it for one of my brown ones as I prefer the contrast and it breaks the pattern up a tad.

It's nice to be back home and enjoying the luxuries of things such as baths and a bottom-less fridge! Yesterday I went shopping with my Mum and was amazed by the current clothes in Primark, I bought a LOT, most of my purchases were blouses and dresses- SUCH a girl! Anyone else impressed with Primark at the moment? I'm thinking of doing a haul type post (which I've never done before) to show you all!

I was also on the look out for a replacement for my Clinique 3-Step products which have nearly run out, as much as I love their products I thought that there is no harm in trying other alternatives now that I have got myself into a stricter face-care routine. After spending a very long time in Boots I ended up leaving with these 3 products- 

I bought the Boots' own range anti-redness serum as my skin has the annoying habit of reacting to certain products. This is meant to "instantly calm irritable red and sensitive skin, which used daily will help improve your skin's protective barrier and leave it feeling soft smooth and comfortable" and the verdict? So far so good! For around £5 (sorry I've lost the receipt and can't remember the exact cost) I thought it's definitely worth a go.

The 2 Simple products were their 'Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser' which is somewhere in-between a liquid and a gel. It's meant to basically treat my skin to the vitamins and nutrients it needs but with gentle ingredients (plus it has a lovely soothing smell). The other is a facial scrub and named their 'Clear skin oil balancing facial scrub' which like the cleanser is packed with vitamins but also contains Witch Hazel a natural anti-bacterial to stop pesky break-outs! I bought the whole lot for £10 as Boots were offering 3 for 2 across face care products. 

Do any of you use 'Simple' products? Hope you are all having a lovely weekend xxx
