Zara Parka

Hey everyone!

I am finally taking a day off of uni today to get a couple of blog posts on the go. Any of you who are currently or have previously been in 4th year of uni, then you will understand the workload we have at the moment and we all apologise for the lack of posts.

Anyway, back top the topic of this post. I have a new winter coat! It has taken me a while but I finally found the one I was looking for. I found this extremely cosy and gorgeous parka in Zara. It was £100 but definitely worth it as it will do me all winter and here in Glasgow it gets really cold. Some of the We do Fashion UK girls (Michelle, Mhairi and Dodi) are also going to Milan with the uni in January so this will be great for there.

I love the leather panels on the shoulders and sleeves and I think that the inside of it is so pretty with the peach coloured ribbons and the faux fur. I think I will be very happy this winter!

They also have this parka in navy which just came intop stores yesterday which is also gorgeous.

I really love the length of this as it means that I can wear lots of layers which is great for this time of year.

Shirt - H&M

Jeans - New look

Cardigan - H&M (this season - £29.99)

Jacket - Zara

Boots - New Look

Bargain heels

Hey everyone, Michelle here!

If you have been following our blog for a while, you will know that I am a Zara obsessive. Ever since I have been back at university I pass by Zara everyday on my way home so I have been going in nearly every day (yes, I am aware that this is not very healthy for my bank account but I cant help it).

I was in the other day and I came across these gorgeous burgundy heels, here is a link to a previous post on my obsession with burgundy. I was already considering buying these as I loved them so much but when I looked at the price tag, my mind was made up. They were only £15.99! I couldn't believe it. They also come in black with a gold strap and a red heel which I really loved which I was going to buy as well as the burgundy ones since they were such a good price but they never had my size :(.

Bonkers for Burgundy

Hey everyone, hope you all have some exiting plans for this weekend :)

We are all loving this seasons burgundy trend, but for me burgundy has and probably always will be my favourite colour. So as you can imagine I have been loving that this colour has been all over the high street, even though I definitely do not need to buy anything else in this colour.

Here are just a few of my favourite burgundy coloured items.

Scarf - H&M, Vans, Converse

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable - 005 Crush

Avon Nailwear Pro - Tweed

New Look patterned socks - 3 for £4

I am in love with these converse. I bought them last week from Schuh as I really wanted a pair of hightops for autumn . Of course the ones that I liked the most happened to be burgundy.

Skirt - H&M

Jumper - Primark

This jacket is from last years Zara winter collection. I love this jacket but as it has duck feather in it, I can only wear it when it is really cold or if its snowing. Any other time it is too warm to wear.

No doubt by the time this season is over I will have added to my collection.

Is there any colours that you are obsessed with?

Thanks for reading!

Autumn Knitwear

Hey guys,

Autumn is one of my favourite times of year in Scotland, that's when and if the rain stays away. I love the Autumn colours and I get quite exited about the fact that its time to purchase some new knitwear, ankle high boots and new coats.

I have already bought a few pieces of knitwear that I think are perfect for this season and will go with the majority of my wardrobe due to the neutral colours.

Here are a couple of jumpers that I have been wearing quite a lot. The cream one is from Zara and is a lovely thick material. I love that it looks back to front with the button design at the back. The brown speckled one is actually from the children's section in New Look. If you have never had a look at the childrenwear section then I recommend that you do. The sizes go up to an age 14-15 which are quite big made and the shoes go to a size six which is quite odd for children's shoes. I bought the brown jumper in an age 14-15 ( I am normally a size 10) and think that the smaller size would have fitted better, so this gives you a rough idea about what the sizes are like.

I have bought a pair of heeled ankle boots, which you can see here. I do want a pair of flat ankle boots and I have also had my eye on a couple of pair of high top converse which I think will be really handy for autumn so I will keep you updated on which ones I buy.

I still have not found a nice jacket yet which will be be nice for autumn but will also do me for the start of winter before the icy weather comes . I am thinking of a nice thick tan duffel coat if I can find one. If any of you have seen a nice one then please leave me the link below.

I will have a few more Autumn purchase posts coming very soon so stay tuned :)

Thanks for reading!
