Snow is falling...

Hi guys, I know I've been MIA for a while now, for which I apologise, but to make up for it, I thought I'd show you the presents that my lovely boyfriend has got me :)Obviously I haven't opened them yet (that would be naughty!) but we wrote each other a list and here is what he's getting me;

casio

This gorgeous baby is what I've been lusting after forever! So retro ;) haha. You could buy this original Ladies Casio from Urban Outfitters for £40, or you could be sensible and get it from Amazon for £20 :)

Ohh, I'm so excited for this Zara bag! £25.99, and what an unusual beauty. Very art deco with a distinct dash of dark punk. Love it.

These gorgeous Topshop leather gloves are £16.00. Been lusting after them for a while :)

I also treated myself to a grey maxi skirt and a black swing skirt from H&M in the sale and also these sweeties from Urban Outfitters;

sweater

This jumper is so much nicer than the picture shows- especially when worn with a bodycon black skirt and thick woolly tights. It was £48.

playsuit
playsuit 2

I love this :) So cute for summer, or great for Christmas parties when worn with black tights and heels. In the sale at £35.

I also got THE most fabulous black and greige silk skirt. It had no label on and I thought it must be about £35, but when I asked, it was only £9.99! No pictures unfortunately.

Lastly, last year in the sale at Topshop I bought a dress for £10. It was in a sorry state, a few rips and a broken zip. But it was so nice I bought it. I got it home and realised it was an Christopher Kane for Topshop dress and that it should have sold for about £200! I sent it for repair, and now it's fully ready for a night out/ party!

How nice is that!?
So lucky.

Anyway, will post again tomorrow night! Until then, bye guys, and hope you're enjoying the festivities of the season! Xx

Wednesday

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

Hello guys :)
Well, apologies for the tremendous gap in between posts, we've been sprucing up the house ready for the Christmas decorations (we're getting a real tree this year instead of a fake one! Obviously sustainably sourced) and so I've been tidying away. I really need to do an outfit post, I actually did one but my brother's photography skills really weren't up to par, so I'm afraid it may have to wait :/ saying that, I have quite a few Christmas events coming up, so I'll show you the outfit photos taken from them! Anyway, I've ordered some last minute lovelies from Topshop :)
So here they are;

This gorgeous cardi keeps going out of stock, so I grabbed it whilst it was in! It was £45 and I've wanted something like this for rather a long time!

19Q03YOAT_normal

This beauty ticks alot of fashion boxes of late; cable knit, snood, and neutral tones. A snuggly one to wear with my Dorothy Perkins faux fur hooded duffle coat. It was £18.

These two burnout zipper backed vest tops are just great staple items and in grey and dark camel, they work nicely with the rest of my wardrobe as well as keeping in tune with what's hot this winter. Both were £15.

I also recently visited Ikea, and fell in love with this crazy pop art print;

solmyra-picture-ssshh__0110384_PE260631_S4

At just £9.99, it seemed silly to leave it behind! It looks great in my room (even though I haven't put it up yet), which is mainly black and white with splashed of red and a mixture of old looking things (like carved picture frames and old style printed fabrics) and more modern things (such as grungy collages and geometric shapes).

Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying the Christmas prep, and watch this space for some long due outfit posts in the near future!

Love, Chloe. Xx

Thursday

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

Well hello, guys! I apologise for the lack of posts, but I've been gathering 'stuff' and photos to show you. Firstly, look at the snow we had here in the UK!

Here is my front and back yard views. My poor palm tree does not look suited to this weather!
That was yesterday and it still hasn't stopped, so naturally I've been wrapping up warm- I'll take some outfit shots so you can see how I did that without looking ridiculous!
The best thing is using the cold to get revenge on people- like snowball fights with my boyfriend and putting an icicle in my brothers bed whilst he was asleep! Haha.
Anyway, I've made lots of purchases this month as a treat to myself before I spent all my money on Christmas presents. Two babies that arrives today from Urban Outfitters are these;
snake ring 2
snake ring
This amazing snake ring is more a work of art than jewellry. It costs £12 from Urban Outfitters, and although it's not the most comfortable of rings, it looks great.
kimchi and blue skirt
This gorgeous floaty skirt looks great with thick woolly tights, big leather boots and a warm winter coat. It cost £38 and is by Kimchi and Blue for Urban Outfitters.
I made another order from U.O. of these two sweeties;
bat ring
I love bats, so at £6, I couldn't resist. It looks so small and cute!
toe chain anklet
This obviously isn't a winter thing, but I thought it would be cute and unusual for summer with pumps or sandals. It was £5 in the sale.
I also spotted this gorgeous dress on the Dorothy Perkins website, and they didn't have it in store, so I've ordered it off the site.
dp vintage ivory lace dress
I can think of so many ways to wear it when it arrives! Excited! I've been after one like this for so so long. It was £31.50 and I got it on a free delivery promotion they were doing, so all is well for me :)
Last but not least is my Topshop order (which I really need to wean myself off!).
indigo high waisted
These are beautiful, I'm so excited for them. It feels like Santa is coming early this year :) haha. I love them so much I got them in stone- wash too;
high waisted stone wash
Both were £40.
I picked up this beautiful navy blue dress, at £46,simply because it's universally easy to style and won't go out of fashion. I look after my clothes, so each piece is an investment and can be recycled year in and year out.
twist hem shift navy blue
And last but not least, I stocked up on playful legwear to use with my new skirts and dresses. I've had over the knee socks and these tights before, but sheer tights unfortunately do not last forever.
soptty sheer tights
knee high ribbed socks
knee high black socks
The tights were £8 and the socks were £10 and £6. They're an easy way to spice up a plain dress or outfit.
Anyway, this is the last mega- purchase I'll be making in a long time, what with Christmas around the corner, but expect lots of outfit posts and party looks as the season commences! Hope you guys are loving the change of seasons! Look forward to your comments! Love Chloe Xx
P.s. Did you guys notice that Bleached Nirvana has had a mini make- over? I finally mastered making customised headers! Hope you guys like it! X
