HARPER & LEWIS VINTAGE FT ENGLISH ROSE

Leather Jacket- Topshop / Fur Collar- H&M / Contrasted Shirt- H&M / Leggings- Matalan / Flats- Topshop / Bag- eBay

I know I'm pale but the realisation this photograph gives me makes me want to have a little sob (English rose, for life). Today has been cold and it definitely gave me a heads-up to start taking my mittens out with me! Me and my boyfriend went into town to do some shopping, I'd been pestering him all week about visiting a new pop up style shop called Harper & Lewis Vintage, you can find out more here. If you live locally and fancy giving it a go, head down to New Street, Birmingham with a fiver, pick up a bag and fill it to your hearts content! You can see some of my thrifted finds over on my Instagram: llrfx.

Have a good weekend!

WEEKEND WISHLIST

1 2 3 4 5

Honestly, my week has been full of mixed feelings/ emotions and I have no doubt it's due to the fact I've been trying to recover from a cold. Thankfully, after eating a whole stock of Heinz soup I'm finally feeling back to my old self. I did however take pity on myself and took prime advantage of the student lock in on Friday (you can have a mooch at what I bought here). Kinda contemplating whether or not to keep the jacket, I don't know.. you tell me.

I've actually been really enjoying both the modern and Wordsworth classics recently after finishing The Great Gatsby. You're probably already seeing a link in terms of me buying books before a film adaptation is to be made. I don't know, I enjoy making that comparison to how the film interprets the literature. Even if it means being disappointed with the finished result. Back to the point, I know that On The Road is released here in the UK on the 12th October, possibly not giving me enough time to even place an order but I'm determined I'll get to read it one way or another.

These trousers are such a staple for me, chuck on a plain top and a bobble hat and it almost looks like you've put some thought into your outfit. One thing that isn't so staple is the price!

After recently buying a bag, I didn't think I'd be needing another one for quite some time. Until I saw this one. I just think it's so classy.

The last two items are definitely impulse choices cause everyone loves a sale (especially when it involves studs) and what girl doesn't need pretty underwear, right?

What's on your weekend wishlist? Do you have any good books/films you'd recommend?
