Autumn is officially here, time to start wearing boots and jackets/coats and knitwear. I was the one who was waiting for summer and didn’t want it to end, but dressing for autumn makes me excited :)!

My lovely friend Isha and I went to Evans Marble Arch for a Curvy Street Style event yesterday, and here’s the outfit that I wore. By the way I got these boots from Evans a few weeks ago, and I LOVE them so much. I bet they will be on my feet most of this autumn ;).

It’s Sunday, and it’s Double Vision time again! In this challenge my amazing friend Dani and I are choosing a theme, item, movie character.. whatever we come up with basically, and style those our own way and post at the same time, more about the challenge here. This week’s theme was chosen by Dani, and she chose ‘Gifted goodies’. Dani and I have a habit of sending each other care packages every once in a while, I send her UK goodies and she send me US goodies.. So it’s about time that we do posts where outfits contain items that we have given each other :).

My outfit has some serious colourblocking going, black, teal, black, coral, black, purple ;). The photos aren’t the best, since I couldn’t go outside (would have killed myself in these heels in the snow), but I hope you get some idea of the colours. And check out the gorgeous Betsey Johnson bag and the beautiful booties as well! (Dani you are too good to me <3!)

Top: 18/20, Eloquii (similar at Asda, similar at Simply Be, similar at Evans) | Skirt: 20, ASOS Curve (similar in red at Debenhams, similar in blue at Simply Be, similar in black at Macy’s, similar colour at Forever 21+) | Leggings^: 20, Primark | Bag: Betsey Johnson (similar at DSW – US, similar at New Look) | Booties: Forever 21 (similar at Aldo, similar by Tamaris) |
Glasses^*: Four Eyes Fashion | Lippy^: MAC Viva Glam Nicki

Like you can see, no wonder I’m always excited to see a surprised package from Dani <3! Let’s go to see what gifted goodies she chose for her outfit – clickity to DIY Fatshion! Do you have a friend who you exchange a lot of gifts with?

Once again it’s Wednesday, and I’m sure you know it’s Fatshion Faceoff time! If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s challenge item was chosen by me, and I chose a knitted jumper.

I have been looking for BIG, oversized jumper for ages, and been disappointed time and time again. Then a few weeks ago when I went shopping with the lovely Caroline I finally found what I was looking for from Matalan sale. This jumper was exactly what I had been dreaming of, except for the fake collar and hem. I decided to go up two sizes though, since I really wanted it to look big and chunky. So I bought it, took my seam ripper out, and got rid of the collar and hem and voila – got my dream jumper!

I wore it with my perfect Eloquii blazer, ASOS Curve denim shorts, Evans boots and this absolutely gorgeous necklace I was sent by the lovely people at Olivia Accessories. The necklace is amazing, it looks soft, but it’s actually metal. It definitely finishes this look nicely. I really loved this outfit, and will definitely wear it again! (I know, that goes against the idea of my blog, BUT I love this outfit too much not to do it! Haha.)

Jumper: 28, Matalan (similar at Evans: 1, 2) | Blazer: 18W US, Eloquii (similar at Macy’s, similar at New Look Inspire) | Denim shorts: 26, ASOS Curve | Tights: E, We Love Colors | Boots: Evans (similar at New Look: 1, 2) | Necklace*: Olivia Accessories (similar shape at Boohoo) | Glasses*: Four Eyes Fashion

I used to think that wearing chunky tops makes me look even bigger than I am, and I guess it kind of does, but I balance it out with wearing the shorts with tights so that there’s no extra bulk on my legs. (Not saying that something being ‘flattering’ is the most important thing in the world though, haha.) Do you like wearing chunky knitwear? What do you usually wear them with?

Now let’s go see what the other Fatshion Faceoff girls are wearing with their jumpers…

It’s Sunday, and it’s Double Vision time again! In this challenge my amazing friend Dani and I are choosing a theme, item, movie character.. whatever we come up with basically, and style those our own way and post at the same time, more about the challenge here. This week’s theme is a blue blazer, which Dani suggested we’d feature after I bought the same one that she had already. I tell you, our styles are starting to scarily blend ;) haha.

So I got this blazer from the Eloquii Black Friday sale, when they had free shipping and 50% off everything, even the sale items! Well I wouldn’t have been able to get it without Dani’s help, since Eloquii doesn’t ship internationally (which is a shame, but if you have contacts in the US/are from the US, I definitely recommend checking the brand out).. she ordered it to her address and then shipped it to me. But even with the extra shipping cost, it ended up being about £35, which is a bargain! I have never owned such a nice quality and well-fitting blazer, I’m very much in love with it :)!

Blazer: US 18W, Eloquii (blue/navy blazers at New Look: 1, 2, 3) | Top: 24, ASOS Curve | Skirt: 20, New Look Inspire (might still be available in stores, similar in bird print) | Tights: E, We Love Colors | Shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo – thrifted (similar at New Look, similar at Evans) | Glasses*: Four Eyes Fashion | Lippy: MAC Viva Glam Nicki

Seriously, I think I have been converted into a blazer-person, thanks to this bargain-beauty! I loved teaming it up with the unicorn top (another sale find, it’s only £8 at ASOS) and other blue and navy items.. quite a funky outfit, or what do you guys think? Now let’s click to DIY Fatshion, and see how Dani styled this blazer!
