Sweater Weather


'Ello loves! This marks my first official blog shoot in the UK, and with the lovely windy weather Britain has to offer, it's officially time to pull out the sweaters...and sneakers!
That being said, British girls love their sneakers. Whenever I'm on campus, I tend to see a blonde/brunette haired beauty donning a pair of high tops or Converse sneakers, paired with skinny jeans, leggings, tights and a cute leather jacket or sweater of sorts. The look exudes youthfulness, vibrancy and a tendency to make me look like I'm 16...but I digress.  
Wedge sneakers have been all the rage, and I decided to join the bandwagon after a trip to Camden Market in London a few weekends ago left me 20 pounds poorer with a brand new purchase from ALDO. I decided to go for brown this time, because half the shoes in my closet are black at the moment. And boy are these babies the comfiest wedged shoes ever!
Paired with a fur vest and statement necklace, a simple sweater and jean combination can be instantly glammed up for the high street. And yes, it was pouring when these shots were taken, but I'm sure you couldn't tell the difference right? ;)
Until the next entry, toodles!!!


What I'm Wearing  
Grey Sweater: River Island

Little Britain

Greetings from England! Yes, I am in the land of sexy British accents, scrumptious international cuisines all blended into one, and shopping that can last me for days! In case you didn't know, I'm here in the UK for 3 months for an international exchange, and I've been loving every moment of it thus far! Everyone is so friendly here, and to be honest, I didn't actually think I would be shopping much when I got here. Oh, how wrong have I been! As a British university student, you are entitled to student discounts on most high street brands, from Topshop to H&M to New Look to Accessorize and the works. It's only been three weeks into the Winter semester, and I have probably spent hundreds of pounds on high street brands already, both online AND offline! One thing I have noticed about the Brits is that they LOVE their leather jackets, so be sure to invest in a stylish, cozy and warm leather jacket, like the one I recently purchased from Topshop, if you wanna blend in! 
Stay tuned for more blog entries to come, because I plan to be sharing with you the beauty of what England and Winter Fashion have to offer! Get ready for posts on Scotland, Amsterdam, Cambridge, and hopefully Sweden!
