My Current Obsession: Studs

To me, studs are such a versatile piece of detail as they can not only be used to make a statement, they can also be used subtly to add an exciting feature to otherwise plain items. The versatility of studs means they can be used in a variety of fashion pieces from jackets to jumpers and shoes as well as accessories; so there is something that would fit anyone's style.

Since there are so many different options for incorporating studs into your style; these are some of the ways you can easily add some studs to your outfits for that extra detail and edge.

Jackets:

Jackets are perfect for layering, so you can enhance your look by adding a studded jacket or coat on top of your outfit. The jacket can be worn as the main statement piece, like the studded leather jacket (1) or as an addition to your outfit, like the denim jacket (2).

3: Collarless Studded Sleeve Coat - Warehouse
4: Studded Mac Coat - Lipsy

Jumpers:

For the current dismal weather here in London, jumpers are essential and what better way to spruce up a plain old jumper than with, yup you guessed it, STUDS!

2: Spiked Drop Shoulder Sweater - Forever21
3: Studded Sweater - Next
4: Nadine Oversized Jumper with Stud detail - Boohoo
5: Cable Knit Sweater with Studs - Zara

Shoes:

1: Agasi Taupe Studded Trainers - Topshop
2: Studded Cowboy Ankle Boot - Zara
3: Studded Loafers - Topshop  - Primark are also selling their version of these for just £10; which can be seen in my previous OOTD here.

Subtle Details:

If you don't feel like going all out on the studded detail, you could opt for things that have a much more subtle incorporation of studs.

1: Sweater with Studded Collar - Zara
2: Studded Neck Swing Top - Topshop
3: Denim shirt with Studded Pocket - Zara
4: Shirt with Studded Collar - Zara
5: Chiffon Blouse - H&M

That seems like enough studs for one blogpost! Hope you got some serious stud inspiration and make sure to check back to see what my next fashion obsession will be.

University OOTD

This is the outfit I wore today to university - I usually like to go for quite a comfortable and laid back style which is very casual. I just love to be comfortable as I not only have to travel to university I have to sit in lecture rooms for hours, so would definitely not want to be stuck wearing something high maintenance or uncomfortable.

Here is the outfit I wore:

Snood: Primark | Varsity jacket: River Island | High-low Top: Primark 

Jeans: New Look | Studded shoes: Primark

I love the high-low top from Primark since it's extremely comfortable with a flowy loose fit - I loved this top so much I bought it in two other colours aswell! 

The leather sleeved varsity jacket adds some colour to this otherwise plain outfit and also a bit of edge with the leather sleeves and I threw on the snood just to keep me warm and cosy from the cold.

February Wishlist

As usual I have been spending most of my time browsing the shops online so I decided to compile a wishlist of things that I liked whilst doing some online shopping.

Candy geo skater dress
£22.99 from New Look

I love the geometric print on this dress and the colours as well. The belt cinches in the dress above the waist creating a flowy and pleated effect on the bottom half of the dress.

Grey aztec print jumper
£25 from River Island

I love the aztec print trend at the moment, as you could probably tell by the amount of aztec inspired items in my wishlist! This grey jumper has the red and yellow pops of colour, making it stand out a bit more and the jumper seems great to wear in the currently freezing weather!

Burn out aztec sweat
£28 from Topshop

Another aztec inspired jumper, however this one has a burn out design which I thought made it a bit more unique and interesting to a normal jumper. I also love the loose fitting and shape of the jumper, they are just sooo much more comfy!

Raffia patterned ballet pumps
£15.99 from New Look

Since I am quite tall, I can't really wear heels a lot of the time, so I mainly wear flats like ballet pumps or trainers. These are different from plain pumps and so they would add an interesting element to any outfit.

Embellished teardrop earrings
£5.65 from Forever 21

I usually wear earrings when I am going out to dinner, a party or other occassions, so I usually tend to go for earrings that would be better as party-wear. I love the colour of these earrings and the gold detail as well as the gems on it would make them a great addition to an outfit.

Gold tone two pack of rings
£10 from River Island

I don't own a great deal of rings, so whenever I do look at any rings I tend to favour statement rings that could transform an outfit. I thought these fit the bill and would be great to dress up an outfit!

Zeana oversized tribal design t-shirt
£8.99 from Missguided - Comes in 3 colours: Black/White/Wime

My go-to outfit is usually just a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, so I knew I would have to include a t-shirt on my wishlist. The t-shirt is not overly printed, with a main tribal design in the centre and lines trailing off it, so this would be great for everyday wear.

Burgundy quilted cord patch hoody
£50 from Topman

I know this a men's hoody but I love the quilted design on it and I am a sucker for elbow patches so this hoody screamed out to me! I find for t-shirts and hoodies the men's section at most stores is usually better, with a lot more variety and designs.

I hope you enjoyed seeing just some of the things I was interested in whilst doing some online shopping!

Casual Weekend OOTD

We decided to head to the shops on the weekend so I knew we would be walking around a lot so I decided on the trainers and the jacket would keep me warm as the weather was lovely, so I didn't need a coat.
