Style Icon: Lily Collins

Lily Collins has been making a lot of movies lately, and she's been popping up all over the place for red carpet appearances or just walking around. I've always seen her style as super preppy, but lately she's become more fashionable and I've been loving her look. 

My personal favorite look was her 2013 Comic Con look, with the coordinating top and shorts. Her look can be anywhere from girly and classic to edgy and modern. While I may not always absolutely love her look, I certainly love how versatile her style is. I can definitely identify with the changing aspect of her look - one day I feel like a rock star, and the next I'll feel like Audrey Hepburn.

Lily wears a lot of clothes that are more polished, such as collared shirts, nice but casual jackets, and dark wash jeans. She can also wear clothes that are a bit more fun, such as patterned trousers or skater skirts and graphic tees. With her style, you can pretty much pair anything from her wardrobe together. Its cute and versatile, and practical - you can take any piece from day to night just by changing around a few pieces like shoes, or pants.

Tell me what you think of Lily's style in the comments.

Love,

Caro

Sales!

Sorry that I haven't been on here in a while, I've been a little busy trying to adjust to an entirely new time zone whilst simultaneously cramming for a test and moving in. But somehow, in the midst of all that, I still managed to pop down to the City Centre and check out the sales at Topshop and Zara. I'm really trying not to shop as much, so I only picked up a couple of things.

The first thing I got was this pair of jeans - it was the most expensive thing I got at 20 pounds, but that's a little more than half off the original price. They are absolutely amazing - high waisted and a nice, versatile color. I actually ordered tham along with another pair of jeans that were on sale too, but I don't think I'm going to keep the other pair.

When I went to pick up my jeans order, I took a look around the store and saw lots of cute things, but I really didn't feel like spending that much money. And then I found this absolutely gorgeous burgundy leather skater skirt for only 7 pounds! Its super flattering, and seems like a great piece for going out.

The last item I got form Topshop is this pair of trousers. They're currently on sale for 15 pounds from the website, and I just ordered them last night so I can't wait for them to come in. I've seen a few different people wearing a similar pair of trousers from Topshop that are black and white and they look adorable on. I'm not much of a color person, but for this price I figured I could try. Plus, I love how they styled it online with a white crop top.

The last thing I got was this jumper from Zara. Its a gorgeous cream color, and it feels really nice and has a cool zip down the back. For only 6 pounds, it was a great deal. I also got a sheer black jumper, but since I was lazy and didn't want to try it on in the store, when I tried it on at home the shoulders felt a little weird so I'm giving it to my flat mate.

I tried to be a little bit more practical this time around. At least I didn't get a ton of stuff.

Have you guys got any things from the sales? If so, what did you get? Tell me in the comments.

Love,

Caro
