Yesterday I took a day off uni work (ARGH DEADLINES) to go for a potter with my partner. We spent the day going to see "Death" at the Wellcome Collection (which I recommend wholeheartedly!) then going record shopping in Soho. As it was miserable, the day called for layers, comfort and maximum warmth potential!

Hey one and all! The lovely folks at Simply Be were kind enough to send me this floral dress, so I took today as an excuse to get a bit excessively glam for university! It's made of a lovely thick jersey, and comes comfortably to my knees (which, at 5'10", doesn't happen often!), with a lovely fitted shape. It will definitely be making repeat appearances soon!

Close up of the boots: 

(Remarkably, they're the first pair of medium heels I've gotten on with, EVER, who knows why?)

And just yesterday I had some locks chopped off, so I'm now sporting a messy graduated bob. I'm missing not being able to pin my hair up, but liking how easy it is to style. 

Okay, so a leather jacket has been on my list of things to own for years now, I even remember finding one in a vintage shop a few years back, but not buying because I didn't have the funds. I was reminded of it when I saw this beautiful leather jacket on ASOS curve. I'm far from having £100 to drop on a jacket, so I did some eBay hunting and ended up buying this, which is fake leather, nearly new and originally from Dorothy Perkins, for about £35. Shortly after this version popped up on Inspire for £40, which is a much more tempting price point for the more budget conscious of us. 

I have been wearing it with everything this week, it's just perfect for toughening up an everyday look.
