New: Steve Madden bag

I am a big fan of Steve Madden, as a brand they are on the ball when it comes to trends yet very much affordable. In my opinion, their shoes are amazing - I remember seeing this gorgeous pair of ridiculously high glittery heels in their shop window that were perfect for New Years'. Sadly not a very practical purchase so I didn't buy them, but they do really nice shoes in general, as well as accessories and bags.

Me and my boyfriend recently celebrated our anniversary together (1,5 years, so not quite as big a milestone as 1 or 2 but any reason to celebrate eh :) ) and as a belated gift he gave me this lovely Steve Madden bag. I've been on the lookout for a nice, simple black bag for some time and this definitely fits the bill! It's the perfect 'in-between' size - not too big, not too small, yet there is lots of room to fit all your essentials in. This will be perfect for everyday use and for uni.

I'd love to know if you own anything by Steve Madden, shoes, bags, accessories..? :)

Good old Primark

One of the things I was most happy to have picked up on my latest visit to the UK was this Primark jacket which I'm sure you will all recognize. Zara came out with theirs several months ago and it sold out faster than I could get my hands on it, but was also priced slightly higher than I was willing to pay for what it actually is. Imagine my joy when I spotted an exact copy in Primark, for less than half the price. I bought this back in July but since it was still quite warm temperature wise I haven't really had the chance to wear it until now. As soon as the weather started to cool down I couldn't have whipped this out faster! Underneath the jacket I decided to wear another Primark buy, this lightweight grey dress. I really like this kind of 'old-fashioned' print.

FYI, the bubble tea in my hand was not an intentional prop.

Army jacket: Primark
Dress: Primark... on a roll here! (no longer available I think... bought last year)
Silver belt: River Island (taken from a maxi skirt)
Bag (not shown): Steve Madden... post on this coming soon :)
Watch: Michael Kors
Shoes: my beloved studded Topshop flats. I wear them so much I plan on buying another pair.

I would have taken more photos, but about 2 seconds after this was taken it started raining heavily. Oh well! I'm happy to have done my first OOTD :)
