Wednesday Addams & Coven with H&M
So as halloween approaches us quickly, people always ask yearly, 'What are you going to be for halloween?' or 'Any costume ideas?'
I always opt for my all time faves and basics which I can transform from my daily outfits, make a few tweaks here and there and you can happily go to a halloween party and fit in.
This post I've partnered up with H&M again and wanted to show you guys two outfits I styled together from their H&M range. One being totally inspired by Wednesday Addams and the other inspired by AHS: Coven. Apart from this being totally focused on halloween, you can still wear these outfits out daily! It all comes down to how you style them!
First the first look, Wednesday Addams; I opted for this dress from their halloween collection which literally is perfect. This dress with the white collar pretty much has done the job! I styled it with a pair of basic black brogues, hair in pigtails (biggest feature) and kept my make up pretty simple. I chose a shade lighter for my foundation, used a muted pink shimmer blush and kept my lips nude or you could totally goth it up and slick on some black lips!
And if i's chilly on your way to a party then you can easily throw on a black duster coat!
Second look, we are focusing on the AHS: Coven girls. Think black, basics, jeans and fedoras. Effortlessly cool. I'm focusing on Taissa's character of Zoe Benson, whose straight slick hair, tom boy cool and gives us fedora envy. I paired this loose vest with the long sides with these awesome black stretch skinnies as she pretty much wears them all the time. Having some long and loose fitting pieces seems to be the style tone through out the whole season and when I saw this vest I actually choose a size medium instead of small to make it extra baggy on my body. Tying it all together, is this black fedora, H&M does awesome styles also, if you are feeling a wide brimmed fedora or a short brimmed one. Of course, we can't forget the boots, I paired some cut out boots with a slight heel to add some height and a leather jacket as I thought a long coat would cover the sides too much as I wanted them to be on display.
With these looks, like I said, you can definitely wear them more than once and adapt them into your daily outfits. These H&M pieces will also last for ages in your wardrobe and with the collection being reasonably priced, it sure wouldn't hurt your wallet!

Basic instinct.
Shirt - Choies | Boots - Choies (original here) | Jeans - Topshop | Grey t shirt - Zara (similar here)
-----------------------------
This is one of the best comfortable outfits I've styled in a while. I had to pop out to Reading for my eye test today and wanted something quick to throw on but not look too rushed.
This combo, any colour really works well on most occasions and I love how laid back it is. I also received these boots from Choies this morning so though I would wear them out today and see how they were and I've had to issues! They are the dupes of the Givenchy boots but I couldn't spend that much on a pair of shoes so I was so happy that Choies were able to gift these to me! Thank you Choies!
That sporty vibe
-----------------------------
I wanted to style something that took me back to my style a year or two ago but make it workable with my wardrobe now. I opted for a sports luxe feel by adding the trainers and the box boyish cut of the leather shorts.
I also received this beautiful mesh polka dot t shirt from Dark Pink and knew it would go perfect with this leather short and crop combo to add a bit of extra detail. I kept the cuts simple and went with all black and paired it with two silver necklaces. My choker and my name necklace which added such a nice personal touch and ties everything together.
Again, if you're not feeling the mesh tee then you can always pop it off and wear without!
Beige & Camel
Sweater - Zara | Dress - Dark Pink | Heels - Boohoo | Bag - Saint Laurent dupe (Original here)
-------------------------------
So, went into Zara yesterday and had a bit of fun. It's been a while since I've gone in and wanted so many bits. I picked out 4 new bits yesterday and the shades were obvs camel, grey and black! This sweater has also been saved in my Zara app for a while now and was so happy the one in my town stocked it! Will deffo go back and get more colours and I need more sweaters.
Here I paired it with a dress from Dark Pink and just folded it up to make it shorted and threw on the sweater over the top. I love layering textures and different colour tones to create something like this and wore my sandal heels to keep everything minimal and muted.
Hair was kept simple, loose bun. Just a little inspo drawn from Kim K if you can tell! Oh and my name necklace from Anna Lou!
Blue Jeans
Jeans - Urban Outfitters | Boots - ASOS | Topshop - Topshop | Fedora - ASOS
Jacket - Missguided
------------------------------------
You know how I pretty much wear black jeans and make no exception? Well I had to for these beauties! Think they are meant to be rolled up though but I love them like this and worn as 'flares' in a way. The super slouchy cut of these and the rips make them so casual but super chic at the same time! I went for basic and just paired it with my cropped long sleeve top from Topshop and added some height with my ASOS boots.
To go with this 'cowgirl' look I added my faux fur and a fedora. Think I will be taking this outfit with me to LA (minus the fur). Oh yes, I'm off to LA next month! Finally booked my ticket and can't wait to go and explore and meet up with friends!
Shelly's London
Coat - Choies | Boots - Shellys London | Dress - JAGGAR
---------------------------------
Finally! Guys! Finally I own not one but two pairs of these beautiful Shellys London shoes! This is the first pair and they are a beautiful navy blue suede colour and the other is a light duck blue. I'll be styling those in a future post!
Been wanting these for ages after I saw Leandra Medine of Man Repeller wear them and man, they are more beautiful up close! I've paired it with my new floral maxi duster coat and a simple long sleeve ribbed mini dress from Jaggar. A colour transition into A/W and it was such a comfortable outfit to wear out and about. Unfortunately, the sun went in and it started to spit so I'll have to put a protective spray on and hope for the rain the stop.
You can also win a pair of Shellys London shoes by heading over to their instagram account & follow the instructions on their latest post! Good luck!

I've been looking for a black bomber now for a while and I was so drawn to this jacket when I saw the 'Cheerleader' on the back. It reminded me of the Rag&Bone personalised jackets. I opted for the small size so it was a little baggy and it's perfect to even wear with a classic all black outfit (knowing me!) and perfect to throw on when I have to head out somewhere in a hurry. Such a minimal piece and makes an outfit effortlessly chic!
Oh, let's talk about the tee now. Isn't it cool? It made me laugh so had to add that to my basket! I've added another link to another tee design they do as it's proper rad. Their funny illustrations just makes the outfit so laid back. Perfect for a day at the skate park. Even the vans, I've been meaning to pick these up for so long and I finally gave in. Been wearing them like crazy since they arrived.
This outfit, would be so comfortable to wear on the plane, I might just do when I head out next!
Thank you again Urban Outfitters for being such a cool brand to work with and stocking the raddest pieces!
