Autumn Lookbook!

So my newest video is my Autumn Lookbook including affordable clothes from Primark, New Look and Boohoo. I was so excited to film this video!
Check it out here>> Autumn Lookbook
So I'll get started on the looks.




The first one is a cute girly one, with the dress and the long socks, but also has an urban look to it with the checkered shirt and chunky winter boots.
The dress is a new purchase from Boohoo and it's a soft black material with a turtle neck to keep you warm. I've only worn it for this shoot but I've fallen in love with it immediately, I might even have to get it in different colours!
The shirt was actually given to me but it's bigger than my normal size so it looks baggy. I wear this shirt with most of my clothes, with the sleeves rolled up and it makes a great jacket. I do know that it's from New Look though where there are some amazing shirts at the minute.
The knee high socks are just everyday ones that you can pretty much get from anywhere. I think they're good with this outfit because you can keep yourself warm whilst also looking good. I think they look great with the boots too.
The boots are another new purchase from New Look. I wanted some winter boots for ages and fell in love with these ones. They're a bit pricier at just under £30 but I think they're worth it for the winter months because they keep my feet nice and warm and are really sturdy and comfortable too.




The next look is a more casual one that I'd probably wear to a lecture or to go shopping in. 
My top is actually from Primark and it was an incredible £3! So I bought one in black and grey. Even though they're cropped tops and look thin they actually keep you really warm. It must be the material they're made of.
My jeans are also from Primark and they're just plain black ones that were £7. I added the rips in the knees myself making them look more expensive than they actually are and I think that's a better idea than buying some with rips in. I've done this to a number of my jeans myself.
My shoes are another new purchase from Boohoo. They're chunky loafers that have quite a high heel on them but I think they'll go with a lot of my clothes and I can't wait to wear them out.
And lastly is my scarf which is also from Primark. It was only £6 and it's reversible, so each side has a different thing on it. I love the dark colours because I think they match my clothes the most. This is also one of the warmest scarves I've ever owned, I'm forever wrapping it round me when I'm out and even when I'm at home.






And this outfit is probably one of my favourites.
Firstly the top is from Primark again (I'm in love) and it's the perfect autumn/winter cropped top. The sleeves are long and warm and the material is super soft, I'll be wearing it a lot this winter.
And these jeans I'm also in love with. I've wanted a pair of boyfriend jeans for ages and I finally bought these ones from Boohoo with huge rips in. These are so comfy, and I feel I could wear them in the day but also if I was to go out at night with a really nice pair of heels. 
And lastly the heels I actually bought from Manchester Market in the Arndale. I shop there a lot for my shoes because they're not that expensive and they're great quality too. They're easy to walk in and they're really comfy too so I feel I could wear them for a full night out. 

And my last outfit was an unplanned one so I don't have any pictures but you'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen the video. This is my comfy outfit and I wear this every time I'm in my room or halls.
The top is from New Look and it's just a simple high neck black top with no sleeves. It's so comfy and I can lounge around in it all day. 
The joggers I grabbed in the sale at Forever 21 because I haven't actually got a pair. These are lined inside so they're super soft and comfortable and they were also a bargain so I'm happy!
My favourite slippers are only £3 from Primark and they're the softest thing I've ever felt. They also have little sticky pads of the bottom so I don't go sliding down the corridor when I wear them.
The headphones that I wear in my video are some I bought from Urbanears and they're the Plattan ones in white. These have great sound quality which is great for editing or listening to music.
My dressing gown I've actually had a while so couldn't remember where I got it from but I've found out it's from a shop/brand called Camille which make super soft and comfy night wear and it must be good quality if I've had this one for a few years!

So that's all my outfits from my Autumn Lookbook.

New Autumn Beginnings!


So it's been a while!! Actually it's been over a month! So disgraceful of me and I'm actually ashamed because I've had so many things happen in my life. 
Obviously I'm still settling into my university environment so that's taken a while to get used to, my schedule and living alone but I think I'm getting the hang of it.
I also feel as though I've sort of had an epiphany this week. I feel refreshed and like I can achieve anything. Blog and video ideas have been spurting out of my head so quickly I've hardly had time to write them all down. I feel as though I needed a small break from my blog and YouTube because I'd run out of ideas and lots of things got in the way. I had a few off weeks where I stayed in bed for most of it due to my anxiety and a horrible cold and I also started seeing someone so I spent most of my time with them.
But now I've been able to divide my time between my work and my hobby because I'm so determined not to give this up! Because I enjoy doing it so much. And yes I have a lot of work due soon but I think it's possible to balance my work and my relaxing time very well. 

So I am back on the scene so you'd better watch out for more blog posts and videos to be up soon because I'm so excited to get back into it!

Also if you have any promoting tips for my blog and YouTube, I'd be very grateful for your help!


As always, Stay Happy
