Heat On The Highstreet: H&M Weekly Edit

Hi Internet!

Thought I'd do a quick Sunday night blog post, as I was browsing the H&M website and had the urge to make a set on Polyvore.

H&M have teamed up with Ashley Benson (from Pretty Little Liars & Spring Breakers) to get her styling some of their summer collection. I had my eye on some of the items anyway, but this makes me want them even more! I would wear this outfit for any occasion, work, casual, whatever! Any excuse to wear some eye catching jeans and comfy t-shirt.

All of these pieces are avaliable on the H&M website, each of the pictures below take you to my polyvore account, which I've linked to the H&M website. Other Heat on the Highstreet installments have included H&M and New Look, starting to think I should branch out a bit...

 Have a great week! 

Heat on the High Street: H&M

Hi Internet!

In following to my most recent Heat On The High Street featuring New Look, I have decided to choose H&M as my next victim! I went in the other day looking for a black skater skirt, but got a bit distracted. 

In my opinion, H&M are really great at doing everything, from simple pieces to lace detail and graphic designs.  As well as quality, I'm always out for a bargin (like any other girl!). I find shops like Miss Selfridge and River Island to be very fashion-forward, but not great on my purse. 

So in this quick post I scoured H&M to find my pick of the dresses ranging from £7.99 to £25, all different lengths and colours, that can be dressed up differently for summer with their amazing variety of shoes. All the images below link to Polyvore, and then H&M's website where you can find all of the items!

Happy Tuesday!

Heat On The High Street: New Look

Hi Internet!

Today I have a summer fashion set which I made on Polyvore. I've had Polyvore for a couple of years, but never really used it, due to most of the clothes already on the site being ridiculously expensive. Like most people, I don't like finding things I like that realistically I can't buy. This set features things that I've gone out and bought (to be featured in an upcoming A Week In Outfits post) from New Look. 

I went into the New Look initially looking for jersey tops to go with everything, but got a bit distracted by all the colour in the shop at the moment! I don't usually find anything I like in New Look, but their summer collection is really my style! Lots of bright neon colours to pair with florals and other detailed pieces. I feel the detail and the fabric have the ability to make things look more expensive that they actually are - the two clothing pieces in this set do just that. 

I only bought the clothing, but have similar accessories to those featured in the set - all from New Look!

CLOTHING

Blue Jersey Top

£7.99

Currently on 2 for £10!

Floral Skort

£15 

From the kids section! Their sizes are rather big for childrens, I got a 13-14 years.

In the adult section they do 2 skorts with almost the same floral pattern- just with different colours.

ACCESSORIES

Strappy Wedges

£30

Beige Bowler Bag

£25

JEWELLERY

Bangles

£4.99

Watch

£20

Beauty wise, in the set I featured Barry M.'s Gelly nail polish in Blue Grape, although most of the Gelly shades would go with this outfit because they are all so bright!

Also featured is one of the Maybelline Colour Whispers in Coral Ambition. The Colour Whispers haven't been released in the UK yet, but I know the Maybelline lipsticks come in loads of shades, of failing that, the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks have great formulas.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog, hopefully this colourful outfit brightened up your day!

What high street shop should I check out next?? Thinking of doing this as a weekly thing!

Sweater Weather

SWEATER WEATHER

Hi Internet!

It's finally getting chilly on the south coast, and I'm finding myself having to layer up (even in the house!) just to stay warm. I thought I would post a few winter warmers to keep the sniffles at bay, and rid the goosebumps. Living in a student house, we're all very stingy when it comes towards bills that we know we can avoid, heating being the main culprit. A thick blanket or cardigan is vital when sat still going work all afternoon, or for all times when not in bed. 

This season, H&M has come out with an incredibly reasonably priced cardigan. When I set my eyes on it, I thought it would be £40, because of the amount of material and the stitch detail, but I was pleasantly surprised when I turned the price tag over. It has been featured in their Autumn/Winter 2013 ad campaign, looking high in material quality and texture.

H&M
£14.99

H&M
£29.99

I style the cream coloured cardigan with my summery tops and dresses which are too thin to keep me reasonably warm throughout the winter. I feel like this piece fills the versatile-cardigan hole in my life. Also, it doubles up as a blanket in bed or something I can layer over a hoodie. When i first tried it on, I wasn't sure if it was a bit too OTT to be hobo chic, but even if it was, the practicality outdoes the style element.

There is also a much more colourful alternative, at double the price. Despite this, the colour palate could be translated to a Valentine's outfit! 

Was £40, now £32
Selling out fast!

A thinner jumper that could be layered under this type of thicker cardigan would be this one by H! by Henry Holland. With a thermal top underneath and a gilet on top, this jumper could be dressed casual, or as seen in the picture, with a black skater skirt, could be dressed up for Christmas. Robin jumpers are definitely on trend for this winter, and have replaced the Christmas jumper in my heart, because it can be worn on many more occasions. 

Others that have caught my eye in shop windows have been from River Island, which I found for the price you pay, the design would be the decider, and not the quality of material, and one from New Look. With student discount, this would work out the best deal of them all, but I still find myself gravitating towards the Henry Holland Design!

                        

                  New Look

                   £24.99

River Island
£30

These are my fun picks from the high street for jumpers and possible Christmas picks. I will report back with more Christmas things, gift ideas, or looks, in the run up to the big date!

Happy winter!
