Topshop DESTROY Over The Knee Boots

Hello! So I'm back with a review of the most beautiful boots I've ever owned!

Boots have been the 'it' piece of the winter season, especially those to the knee and over. They are warm, can be casual and dressed up, leather or suede so it makes them perfect for everyone! I already have a suede heeled pair which I adore however really wanted ones for everyday, that wouldn't get ruined in the winter weather.
I spotted the boots below a month or so ago and instantly fell in love, over the knee, black, flat heeled and leather makes them great for day to day. One thing really did stand out though for me which was that they only cost £89. Even really bargain shops with poor quality are charging at least £40 so these are very much a steal. 
Named 'Topshop DESTROY Over Knee Boots' they are very true to size, impeccable quality and very flattering. They make me look taller and my legs slimmer (yes at 5ft 8 I'm still not happy haha), plus they are unbelievable comfortable. Even some trainers rip the back of my ankles and I've easily spend £1000 on blister plasters in the past few years. No matter what I spend and what shoe, I am very likely to experience discomfort somewhere. Leather can be tricky as sometimes it's not so flexible and so until it alters to move with my feet, it causes pain. With these I had no issue and so love wearing them to uni which requires a good bit walking. 
With student discount your also saving some money but seriously, these are a must have and I will wearing these a lot with skirts and dresses on chilled nights out as Spring approaches!

New buys - iPhone and River Island boots

Hello guys! So I've been ridiculously busy with uni but finally submitted my first essay this morning, only 6 more to go! I have written this post though to show you two buys, one recent and one not so much so I could review them. 

First of all I finally reached the end of my contract with my Samsung S3 and took a dive in the deep end with an iPhone. I've never had one but thought it was worth a try. I got the iPhone 5s in gold which looks fab, the white and gold together make it look super stylish and cute. The phone itself is also brilliant, easy to work, has all the apps I need and an amazing camera! Being a blogger and instagrammer, this is a must. I honestly don't know why I haven't invested in one of these before but I'm really impressed with it and just now waiting on my phone case!


I also bought the boots below last month from River Island. I was in dire need of new waterproof boots for winter but wanted something a little different to the normal chelsea boot. So I saw these beauties on RI's website and had to have them, I love a cleated sole as it looks quite gothic (which suits me perfectly) and the platform means they dress up any casual outfit. They are ridiculously comfy and easy to walk in which of course is another plus considering it will be snowing soon! So, considering they were a mere £36 I cannot emphasise how great these are and at such a steal. Many winter boots are over priced and completely fall apart but RI have an amazing, good quality Winter collection so go check it out!


I'll be back in the next few days to review another recent purchase from Topshop but for now, I hope you enjoyed this post!

River Island Winter Jacket Review

Hey guys, it's been a while I know but being back at uni is killing me! Managing to keep on top of work though and have a ton of stuff to show you guys!

First of all, winter is on it;s way which means - a new winter wardrobe. This of course entails some shopping for new pieces and one of the main ones is a new jacket! 
Now I adore jackets, I currently have 4 and sold 3 on eBay to make room. Due to being at university in the winter it's really important that I have good winter clothes because it gets freezing and so need good quality stuff and a coat is the main thing that keeps me warm and cosy.
River Island had a 20% off sale a few weeks back for two hours only and so figured I may as well have a good look and get myself a few things. I have been ridiculously impressed with River Island recently as their Autumn/Winter stuff has been gorgeous! This coat included - 

Black faux fur collar wool parka jacket in black - £90

So the reason this jacket caught my eye is because it has three of my favourite things - leather, black and faux fur. Hence why I just had to get it! It is expensive but its an investment you should make considering how awful winters can be here and jackets are expensive everywhere. It was also free to collect from the store which saved me even more money and that always helps!

I was super excited when I got the email to go pick it up and ran straight home to try it on. As you can see from the pictures below it just looks so good. The quality of the wool, leather and faux fur is impeccable and I would of happily paid more so £90 is an absolute steal! It's thick, not too heavy and comfortable to wear. The fur is really soft and matches my hair which is cute.





















I like my jackets kind of long as well so this fits the bill ending at the top of my thighs. I got the jacket in a size 10 and I can fit a couple of layers on underneath without it feeling tight which again is what I prefer, I don't like tight jackets.

So overall if your looking for a great jacket go to River Island because there are some absolute beauties for great prices!

I'll be back soon
