Lusting After... Skirts

I'm a strange one, I usually covet more dresses and skirts during autumn and winter than I ever do in summer and this season New Look are doing it for me! I've spotted so many skirts that really just belong in my wardrobe so I thought I'd share a few of my favourites with you (Mainly to make up for being such a bad blogger!) 

1., 2., 3., 4., 5.

Really quick post today as I feel like all I've done this evening is sit in front of my laptop! I WILL be blogging much more soon :) xoxo

High Street Wish List

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

I've been a very bad blogger this last couple of weeks but I' all settled in my lovely new uni flat now so I shall be posting lots more. Plus I'm back in Nottingham which usually means going shopping all the time! All of that aside, here are my favourite high street pieces for A/W 2013;

1. It was love at first sight, as soon as the student 20% River Island event starts I will be straight in there for these little ankle boots! I find ankle boots can be a bit awkward on me but these sit a little lower which it perfect for me because I hate boots that make my ankles look chunky! And the gold capped toes are just bootiful.

2. I gasped a little when I saw this little skirt. Enough said.

3.Tartan? Check. Fur Collar? Check. Boxy boyfriend fit? Check. I was unaware that such sheer perfection could exist in a coat plus it looks like it'd be so cosy warm for the winter months. Miss Selfridge have done well here!

4.Even more tartan but hey, can't have enough tartan can you? 

5. I am obsessed with leather look anything at the moment and I think these quilted shorts have that added bit of texture, definitely on the 'To Buy!' list. 

6. Its a quilted sweatshirt with a tapestry accent, basically A/W in a jumper.

Prairie Charms: Project Blogger.

Prairie Charms? Project Blogger? What's all this?! Prairie Charms is an online accessories boutique and what makes them even more special is that absolutely everything is handmade. They specialise in cute, girly pieces with new and different items added all the time! As part of their 'Project Blogger' Prairie Charms sent me a few bits and I really do love them!

Firstly, I'm a sucker for nice packaging so when this gorgeous gold parcel came through the letter box I was like a little girl on Christmas morning. Already going well before I'd even opened it! I just really loved all the attention to detail, I think it makes customers feel like time and effort has gone into every aspect of their order rather than shoving stuff in a padded envelop! 

I ordered a few bits but I'll just share my favourites with you :) First there was the Millie Wrap in a mustard colour, I really liked the colour against my skin tone and the bracelet had a nice casual, beachy kind of feel to it. Definitely a summer piece! Lovely colour and really well made, all in all I am a happy bunny!

The other piece I ordered was the Lainey Bunting necklace, not something I'd usually go for but again I was pretty chuffed with this! I would normally go for a shorter chain for a necklace of this design but I think it really works a bit longer, nice with pretty much any colour! 

Prairie Charms is definitely one to keep your eye on, especially if you like your accessories a bit more unique and not only that but 10% of the profits go toward Great Ormond Street Hospital :)

I've been a very bad and very busy blogger the last couple of weeks but I will be posting much more soon ;)

Fabulous Internship: Week One

Lots and lots of clothes, outfits, breakfast and my mantra for the week!

The past week I have, for all intents and purposes, been a fashion assistant at the Sun on Sundays weekly magazine Fabulous so here's a little bit about what I got up to! 

Firstly, working in fashion is not pure hell for those starting out, it isn't the Devil Wears Prada and you don't get to keep the clothes. Sigh. Everyone was really lovely and willing to help, lucky I've been one of three interns this week so we've shared the workload. 

I didn't have the best start in the world because of course I was late! For the first time my iPhone failed me, but anyway, I arrived very hot and flustered... Not a good look. To be completely honest at first I thought that I was going to hate it, I felt a little claustrophobic stuck in the cupboard. BUT after a couple of days and lots of hard work tackling the giant pile of returns I started being asked to more and more and it just got better and better! 

I was even asked to go on a shoot on Thursday which was aaaaamazing! The theme was 80's and dynasty inspired with loads of embellishment and sparkles, basically a magpie like me's dream come true. 

On the shoot I laid out all of the extra jewellery and accessories, steamed the clothes, fetched teas and helped our cover star in and out of her outfits. I was also asked to be the model for the test shots for the lighting which was mortifying! That's when you know that maybe you're a little too helpful... We also had a great buffet lunch, loads of yummy salads and pastries. 

An extra plus was an early finish and a free hair perfume shine spray from the lovely hairstylist. All in all a brilliant day and I'm so grateful for the opportunity from the fashion team. 

Other than that my week consisted of;

Tackling a whole lot of returns

Fetching post (with a lot of banter with the mail room guys) up to three times a day

Writing up the credits for a still life shoot (very important!)

Making teas, something I excel at if I do say so myself ;)

Lots of coffee

Pret breakfasts 

And lots and lots of time spent snoozing on the train!

I had an amazing first week and it's really given me the drive to work my little bum off next year, bring on graduation!

Primark Autumn/ Winter 2013 Collection

I am a sucker for a deal and where else is better for a bargain than Primark? 

Primark is a British institution, a high street staple, the place to go if you're on a budget and on the hunt for cheap basics. But Primark is growing up with its grungy, super cool, sophisticated and on trend A/W collection. Long gone are the days of 'disposable fashion'.

The collection is much more designer-led than previous seasons and oozes style, with a perfect mix of sharp and soft silhouettes. Great tailoring, must have heels, casual dresses, knitwear and winter coats, there's something for everyone! 

What's more the mix of winter plaid, muted hues, soft floral shades and burgundy's are to die for. 

With this collection Primark is fast becoming a real threat to high street giants Zara, Topshop and Dorothy Perkins. 

Here are some of my favourite pieces from the new collection (I wish I could buy it all!);

 

I am absolutely head over heels in love with this black and red dress, teamed with the peep toe boots and I'm sold! I also love the collarless coats and fur detailing.

The new collection is already in stores so, despite the heatwave, hurry before it's all gone. Primark have also finally taken the plunge and are now on ASOS for a limited time only, all the more reason get your online shop on!

What are your favourite pieces?

Everybody's wearing... Knuckle Rings

Images

Knuckle rings are everywhere lately and I've definitely been roped in by this micro trend! I am big on accessories, they really do make or break an outfit. I've been wearing the rings shown below (please forgive me for my rubbish iPhone quality pictures!) Both are from River Island at just £2! I have really slim fingers so River Island is perfect for me but try eBay, Topshop, Etsy and ASOS and you'll be spoilt for choice.

I'm partial to quite plain gold rings but statement midi rings are a great way to wear this trend but ensure to keep your nails up to scratch for maximum effect. They're a cute and easy way to update your jewelry box for spring and even better they're stackable like bangles. 

The ever stylish Rihanna has been spotted rocking this look teamed with chunky rings and pastel nail colour. And shes in good company with Kirsten Stewart and Vanessa Hudgens.

 How do you wear yours?

With me it's always about first impressions.

Hello! This is my first official blog post on my new and 'proper' blog, so I had better get all the boring bits out of the way and tell you a bit about me. My name is Priya Sund and I like to eat. And I enjoy fashion.

I'm a print journalism student at NTU, soon to be entering my third and final year (eeeek!). I'm orginally from Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

She Eats. She Wears will be a food/ fashion/ beauty blog all baked into one. From vegetarian recipes on a student budget to this seasons fashion and beauty picks. Hopefully the pics will give you a taste of all the stylish deliciousness yet to come.

Oh and be sure to follow me on Instagram (@priyasund) and Twitter (@PriyaSund)
