As a regular shopper/window shopper of Topshop, instore and online, I can't help but notice these new brightly coloured, glitzy items that have come in recently. The new Louise Gray collection that has just been released in only the flagship London store, Selfridges in London and online, and it has been a huge hit! The well designed, tailored yet baggy pieces are amazing quality but the only way to describe the whole collection is sequins, sequins and more sequins! And being a lover of all things glittery I love it all, espeically the smiley face t-shirt, which if it wasn't a huge £130, I would snap it up straight away!
The collection also includes new makeup items too, all of which are bright, glittery and over the top. From brightly coloured eyeshadow to colour-popping lipsticks to glitter nail polishes all beautifully packaged in pastel and metallic colours. Price ranges from £6.50 to £200.

Money Supermarket Passion for Fashion Competition Entry

 Coat - River Island
Shorts - New Look 
Top - Topshop
Boots - Asos 
Bag - H&M
Beanie - Topshop

Necklace - Asos

The inspiration behind this look is from the festival season of the year! However, I went with the a warmer approach to the festival look as, let's face it, we are in England! Even though this could be worn for a festival it could be worn when walking your dog, at a BBQ or just going on a general walk. I went with the baggy top instead of a fitted top more for comfort whilst at a festival and it can be worn tucked into the shorts or just left loose too! The necklace is from the Asos sale. 

 Dress - Motel @ Ark
Clutch - Internacionale
Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell @ Office 
Nail Polish - Models Own 

For the party outfit, I went for a bold statement dress with plain and simple accessories. I love how this dress was originally £30 but in the Ark sale it was reduced down to just £11(!!!!) which is great value for a dress from Motel which are really great quality. I chose a bright nail polish that went with some of the colour in the dress to compliment the dress and to stand out when holding the plain black clutch bag. With the price of the dress, clutch and nail polish being very small, I decided to go for a statement shoe and where better to go than to Jeffrey Campbell! The huge silver claw up the back of the heel is massively on trend for autumn/winter as well 

 Shirt - Topshop
Leggings - Topshop 

Boots - Office 
Nail Polish - Models Own 

With this outfit, I went with a more simple approach inspired by the recent trend of studs and dark colours that are taking over the high street ready for autumn/winter! Even though none of these things have saved any money as they are not sales, the boots from Office a great dupe of the Chloe studded ankle boots which have a MASSIVE price tag of £850 so if you can't find yourself able to justify that massive amount of money for some shoes, these are a great, much more affordable dupe to them.

Pants - River Island 
Shoes - River Island 
Bag - Zara
Lipstick - Topshop 

Rings - H&M 

When choosing this, I decided to go for a more casual first date choice as if you were going to the cinema or bowling maybe! During autumn/winter, leather seems to be on trend so I went with the leather jeggings to match this, but if you're like me and don't like wearing fully neutral colours, I chose this gorgeous messenger bag from Zara to bring a pop of colour to the outfit! The rings from H&M are a great bargain for 3 rings, averaging at just under a £1 per ring. 

Jumper - H&M
Skirt - Miss Selfridge
Heels - River Island
Collar - Topshop 
Watch - Asos
Lipstick - Topshop

Every highstreet store you visit, you always see midi/tube/pencil skirts so I thought this would be a great style to choose for the office look for the competition. Another popular style at the moment is the collar! They are all over the highstreet and even celebrities such as Rita Ora and Pixie Lott are embracing this trend too. With being in England, a jumper like this with an added collar is a great look for work to keep you warm yet looking professional. The gold boyfriend watch from Asos is a good dupe for the ever popular Michael Kors watches that i'm sure everyone is lusting after, just like me, but with a price range of £175 and above, not everybody can afford them, also just like me! So the Asos watch is a great way to embody Michael Kors without forking out the money for the real deal.

Weekly Wishlist #2

1. Topshop Khaki Knitted Stud Cotton Jumper - I saw this jumper in Topshop yesterday during a very limited shopping trip and it's sooo nice! It feels really nice and looks really warm, perfect for the bipolar weather we have in England.

2. River Island Black High Shine Tube Pants - In real life these are a lot more shiny looking and seem to be a good dupe of the American Apparel disco pants which are currently not even near to my price range, sadly, so I think these would be a much more affordable pair to buy.

3. MAC Charismatic Lipstick - Since buying my last MAC lipstick, I've just wanted to buy so many more and I think this would be the first purchase!

4. Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - I recently bought the Real Techniques Stippling Brush and then stupidly enough watched the video on YouTube that says the Stippling Brush is for more sheer coverage foundations and the Expert Face is for more full coverage, so now I want to try this brush to see if it is better for my foundation than the stippling brush.

5. Topshop Beaded Peter Pan Collar - As I'm going back to college next week (noooo!), I've been looking more for college clothes than I have casual out of college clothes, and because we have to wear a top with a collar, I thought buying some collars would be a good idea and I absolutely adore this one. It's quite girly compared to what i usually go for!
