It's been a while since I've put fingertips to keyboard to blog about all things stylish, but recently my time has been focused around all things University!
I am officially an enrolled Fashion Business and Promotion Student at Birmingham City University, and today I received my first University project brief. On the 21st of September, after a gruelling shift at work, I moved all my things into my University accommodation and now live in Birmingham during the week. It's a new and exciting chapter of my life, and hopefully I will get round to sharing it with you all on my blog in future blogposts.
But for now, a quick pick of what I think are the hottest items on the High Street right now and with a Student Lock in Event at the Bullring round the corner, the items that potentially will end up in my Wardrobe as the season progresses.
First up is this beautiful pair of clean cut, Toffee Cigarette Trousers from Topshop. Brown shades are really inherent in High Street Stores at the moment, ranging from Toffee to Rust, but it is no surprise as the Autumn season finalises settling in. To me, at the moment, it doesn't feel like the Autumn season has actually hit us yet, and the British Weather would definitely agree with me. The Masculine Tailoring of these Topshop Cigarette Trousers would look perfect with a black trench coat in a light fabric, a white slouchy blouse and patent black shoes.
Second is this beautiful 2-in-1 Black Shirt Jumper, from Primark! As soon as I saw this top in the Primark Selfridges, I instantly fell in love; a combination of my favourite colours as a simple yet class piece. I had recently watched 'The Last One' episode from Friends and I adored Rachel's sweater/shirt combination, teamed with a simple plain black a-line mini, and knee high boots. The top instantly reminded of Rachel Green's ensemble, seen here and I can't wait to recreate the look! (Yes... I bought on site.) It is a perfect transitional piece also.
Next up is a Grey Crepe Shift Dress from Topshop. In the Bullring Topshop, they had paired this dress with an amazing White Scuba Peplum Jacket, and although in this image the dress does not look grey, it is a similar colour to a dress that I actually already own; however the pairing of the two was absolutely perfect. The dress is a very flattering shape having a V-Neck cut and a drop waist, and features two front pockets with zip running down the back. On the website, Topshop suggest to toughen it up with some ankle boots, and personally I agree.
Fourthly is this Yellow Cropped Jumper from H&M. I rarely wear colour and I stick to the darker tones of the colour spectrum; black, white and grey are my best friends. However lately I have found myself drawn to the warmer tones such as yellow, orange and mentioned previously brown. Perhaps it is the influence of Fall fashion or the colour changes of the leaves on the trees. I am really drawn to this jumper however, and teamed with monochrome grid print slacks and peep toe mules I think I could perhaps let a little bit more colour into my wardrobe.
Short and sweet but I wanted to make effort to make a blogpost as it has been a long while since I have posted anything. I actually realised there are 60s/70s vibes/tones in all the items I have picked for my High Street Hottest this week; hopefully there will be another blogpost on Wednesday, most likely about Birmingham and my adventure so far at University. I will also try my up most best to regularly blog whilst I am at Uni, although Uni comes first. I will also try to make my High Street Hottest post a weekly thing, and go through every week of the year sharing with you my favourite finds,
Hope you enjoy reading, and don't forget to share your favourite piece of clothing that you've found in the High Street Stores this week!
