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!

ASOS Delivery - My Calvins and Faux Fur







Hello lovelies!
I have purchased a few lovely items recently and so there will be a number of reviews on there way. This is the first one which is about two things I got off ASOS.
I love ASOS as they carry a huge variety of brands, their own brand is one of my favourites and they have a discount for students. Being subject to an online shopping addiction, I always keep an eye out on the site as everyday they upload a ton of new items.

The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful faux fur clutch bag which is pictured below. Prior to this purchase I hadn't owned a clutch and it was becoming a pain having to either pay to put my bag in a club cloakroom and pack as much into pockets as I could or carrying a big bulky bag all night. It's really not ideal either way so was on the look out for one anyway.
The faux fur was another big yes for me as that along with leather are my go to textures. This winter I've wore a lot of faux fur and have a new jacket for summer (I'll review soon) with a faux fur collar. It's chic, sophisticated and makes any outfit look more expensive. This is a beautiful colour as browns go with everything and it means you can team a colourful outfit with it also.
It's much larger than I thought it was but I prefer that as I like to carry a good amount with me and big accessories are a must if your like me and are simplistic with jewellery
Cost-wise, £30 (without discount) is not a huge ask considering it is big, the faux fur quality is very impressive and most bags and clutches cost no less than this on the high street.

The other item I bought along with the bag is this perfect Calvin Klein Bralette. I've been trying to get this for months however it was constantly out of stock and so when I randomly checked at 2am one morning it was straight in my bag when I saw my size in stock. 
I needed a really comfortably bra for uni as a wired bra is just not ideal for everyday but non-padded, non-wired ones show my nipple piercing. So, knowing Calvin Klein are great quality-wise I figured I'd give it a go. 
I got a size 8 which fit perfectly on me, I am small chested but am broad so sizing is difficult with items like this but ASOS kindly provides exact measurements which helps a lot.
In terms of aesthetic the bra is minimalist and monochrome - two words that never disappoint. The banding underneath with the designer name is gorgeous as well and I think just makes the item. It's almost guy inspired underwear which I kind of love!
It also covers my piercing enough that I can wear this underneath a top and not need to worry about it being noticeable which is exactly what I wanted so for £28 (before discount) its a steal. It's super comfortable and most bras nowadays are £20ish so a bit extra for a designer item is not a stretch.
