Autumn Fashion Loves

 
I have recently been looking online and in stores at all the new Autumn collections. Autumn fashion excites me and is one of the very few seasons were I add a bit more colour into my wardrobe - although I haven't branched that far from my love of  black and white. I have collected the things I liked together to create this fashion wishlist/ favourites for this Autumn.
 
Top (L-R)
 
Camel Coat - ASOS 
I loved this style of coat, it's a timeless piece and would look great in Autumn/Winter.

 
Burgundy DM's - Pinterest
 I really like the look of both burgundy and black DM's, although I'm not sure if they would suit me that much. Any pair of ankle boots is a fashion must have for Autumn/Winter!
 
Oversized Roll Neck Jumper - New Look
I did actually try this on in my local New Look store. I loved it but it contained wool and I cannot wear wool :(
 
Bottom (L-R)
 
Burgundy/ Red Check Shirt - Pinterest
This is something that I have been meaning to add to my wardrobe, I love wearing a flannel shirt this way.
 
 Scarf - ASOS
I think a scarf can really complete an outfit and help keep you warm on those cold Autumn days.
 
Black Denim Skirt - Topshop
This is definitely a wish list  item. I've been debating whether to get this for a while.
 
 
Thankyou for reading, I'm looking forward to doing more Autumn/Winter posts. This is my favourite season and it means that Christmas isn't too far away (Too soon to be counting down?!).

Autumn at New Look // OOTD

Is it a bit early to start Autumn blog posts?? As Autumn is my favourite season I'm going to start mine anyway... Last year I did write about why I love Autumn so much, click here to read it! I get really excited when the shops start putting out the clothes for the new season and this year I particularly love the items New Look has to offer. So for todays post everything I am wearing is from New Look. I do shop there a lot anyway but I am so impressed with their Autumn range this year. And yes I did buy something that is not black, white or blue; I absolutely love this shade! (Both the boots and jacket I got last year.)

Back to School: Organisation

 
 
I like to think that one way to make a new year at school as stress free as possible is to stay organised. Now this is something that is easier said than done. I tell myself that I need to do some homework or revision but a couple hours later I am still procrastinating on twitter or Netflix. I feel that I do seem to start off being organised but by half term it probably hasn't quite gone to plan. So in todays post I'm going to give some of my top tips to help keep organised at school.
 
I think the first thing is to set time to do your school work. I found towards the end of my GCSE's that creating something to organise my time help break down the load of work I had - really reducing the stress and pressure I put myself under. I'm not talking about a military second by second timetable, just something a little relaxed. I normal allow myself some time when I get home to relax before starting any homework. It all depends on what works best for you; if you work best in the evening, try to start your school work after dinner etc, or if you prefer you could try to stick to doing your school work as soon as you get home. I would also suggest that you try and do the work given as soon as you can and don't leave it to the night before, that will help to avoid stress and you are most likely to do better as you are not rushing to finish.
 
Continuing with school work; a planner would also help keep track of deadlines and exam dates. Having a set place to record and plan your work load will help to keep you organised. I know my school give everyone a planner, but you could always pick up a diary/ planner at a stationary shop - you could even use a calendar. That planner would be something you would keep in your school bag so you have access to it everyday. Keeping organised is also about having to correct equipment. A simple pencil case and notebook should do - as well as any specific extras depending on your class. To ensure I have the right stuff I try to pack my bag the night before school so I'm not rushing and I'm less likely to forget something. Finally I would suggest keeping all your school books, homework and revision guides in one place, so nothing gets lost or forgotten!
 
 
Thankyou for reading, sorry if I sounded a bit over the top!! Best of luck with the new school year, goodbye
