Summertime Sadness...

Really is the right song for today, summer is over! :( No more bare legs & white converse. The tights & boots are out from hibernation in exchange! Autumn has arrived very dramatically.

I was up early this morning as I got a lift into town with my mum on her way into work. I had to leave the house at 9am so didn't even have time to have breakfast! I was left wandering town on my own until she finished at 12 which meant I went into every shop & just tried stuff on...








Striped Top - H&M Kids
Gold Chain Necklace - Forever 21
Skirt - Internacionale Kids
Studded Belt - Forever 21
Leather Bike Boots - Oasis Via Asos
Bag - Zara Sale



The 3 H&M jackets can be found on my H&M Wishlist post from the other day

I went to M&S & tried a kids waxed jacket. The first photo is size 13-14 years which is quite big on me, the second is size 11-12 years which fits me! I did actually turn 20 last Tuesday...
As I didn't have time to have a proper breakfast I did have a banana & Special K cereal bar in the car I pondered around town looking for somewhere to have breakfast, texting everyone for recommendations on where I should go but ended up in the M&S cafe to have porridge as I didn't want a greasy fry up. I've never had porridge before so I thought I'd give it a try. This pot was £1.95. £1.70 for the porridge then 25p for the berry topper. I don't like porridge it's quite sickly but I do want to like it! I ate nearly all of it but left like 2 spoonfuls as I don't like wasting food but I really couldn't eat anymore :( I think it was the way it was made as everyone makes it differently. I got talking to this lovely old couple who told me how to make it which I might like!
1/2 cup porridge oats, 1 cup of milk. Put it in the microwave for 1 minute take out to stir then back in for another minute. Top with honey & banana or any other fruit. I think I might I'll like it more if it was made with milk as I love milk! But it's healthier made with water.

I finally went to H&M & tried the biker coat I really want. The black marl one isn't nice at all. I think it would look nicer if the sleeves weren't leather look & was all the same material. I like the black but I didn't buy it as all my coats & jackets are black. I'm hoping they bring it out in a different colour as I need a coloured coat!

Preparing for the Winter chill

Zara


Price isn't available for some reason on the website but this is the link to it here


WAXED COTTON PARKA - £69.99

I think this is my favourite coat from the Zara collection but it's expensive for just a simple waxed jacket!

SHEEPSKIN DOUBLE BREASTED JACKET - £69.99


MOTORCYCLE JACKET WITH ZIPS - £69.99

I'm loving the quilted shoulders on leather jackets & really need to invest in one!


Marks & Spencer

M&S Collection Off Centre Zip Mid Length Biker Coats - £55

This is a reasonable price for a coat but it's a bit plain & boring. I like the button detail on biker coats like the one above or below

M&S Collection Double Breasted Bouclé Biker Coat with Wool - £89



Indigo Collection Pure Cotton Waxy Jacket - £59



Topshop

HOODED LIGHTWEIGHT JACKET - £60

This is the navy blue one but they also do it in a khaki green & black. You can also get a waxed version that looks very similar but that's £68 & I don't think it looks as nice

LONGLINE LEATHER-LOOK WOOL BIKER - £75

QUILTED BIKER JACKET - £58

I really want a coloured leather jacket. I'm a bit bored of my black one now! I really want a green one but haven't found one I like sadly I have set my eyes on a Balmain real leather one which I'm never going to get :(

Mango







When I seen this jacket I instantly fell in love with it. At first I wasn't keen on suede jackets but this is just perfect. I love the style as it has the quilted shoulders & the zip detailing. If I could make this even more perfect I'd make the collar bigger. As I'm not too keen on no collared jackets.



Think this is my favourite jacket out of them all as it's real leather & studded! Just the perfect jacket for me apart from the price tag :( Even though I'd easily wear it double the times of the price tag!


Asos

Warehouse Longline Biker Coat - £95
ASOS Coat With Leather Look Sleeves - £75

ASOS Leather Collar Cotton Biker Coat - £95
ASOS Wool Biker Coat With Leather Collar - £55
Only size 14 left meant to be £110
I love these two jackets sadly the one on the left only has size 14 left which is waaaay too big for me! & £95 is really stretching it even if I will wear it everyday!

I hope you like the collection of coats I've found & like for the Winter season which is fast approaching us in the UK sadly. The tights are going to be dug out soon & the white Converse buried away! :(

I also really want a Barbour jacket, a waxed one in particular but the price tag just doesn't fit my bank balance at all! & I couldn't put myself through putting a picture as it'll just make me even more sad that I can't afford one!
