First of all, this post contains a LOT of River Island, but I'm a massive RI fan sooooo...yeah! There are so many nice coats around at the moment with faux-fur collars (see missguided if your looking for one!), but if your not looking for a new winter coat, fur collars are a must have to spruce-up last years..

1. Firstly, is this amazinggg Mongolian fur collar from River Island; but much like the Mongolian fur ombre tote bag this is way out of my price range at £60. *crys*

2. I found this beauty on Ebay for just £5.99, an absolute bargain in comparison to others and comes in all the colours you could ever want! This is more than likely going to be the one I purchase.
Have a look for yourself here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elegant-Womens-Ladies-Luxury-Scarves-Trendy-Faux-fake-fur-shrug-Cool-Wrap-collar-/110962712287?pt=UK_Scarves&var=&hash=item19d5e49edf

3. and 4. Another two from River Island at £25 and £60! Personally I much prefer the Black or Cream collars so these two are not ones I would buy. However 4. is a lovely shape and unique design incorporating oxblood hints on the tip, so I'll be very jealous of anybody I see wearing this!

5. A cheaper version here at £18 from RI. I actually own this, so thought I'd pop it on this post; because although not a collar, this is super super cosy scarf and I wear it to absolute death! It also comes in black and cream, so as you can imagine choosing just one colour took me forever and a day!

6. A dip-dye version here from RI again. This is a little different; I really like this I just wish it was a little longer!

7. Topshop have a reasonably priced version at £25 and I reallllly like this; it's the perfect length! I advise you don't try this on if your not serious about getting one, it's very hard to resist

8. Lastlyyy, this is actually a collar (as you obviously can tell) but I think it's the most amazing cardigan ever! I liked it a lot at £55, so now it's reduced to £30 I'm just lost for words! It also comes in black and pink, but I think this cream metallic is the prettiest and it looks very very cosy. Hopefully I can manage £30 to buy this while it's on sale!

ZARA do my the most amazing fur collar I've seen yet at around £30 I think, and if I don't purchase the ebay version this is the one I'll buy. It is quite literally amazing. For some reason I couldn't find a picture of it online to show you but I advise you to go in store and see for yourself :)

Hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully this helps you out if your stuck on choice for the faux-fur trendd :)
 

Cut Out Boots: Chunky or Lightweight

 

River Island or Primark?

Cut-out boots have been the latest must-have for a few months now, but it's taken me a while to jump on the trend due to complete indecisiveness. So on my most recent shopping trip, I decided to purchase two pairs! The first purchase I made were the amazing River Island boots everyone knows about and loves! However, I was undecided; they felt a lot heavier than any other boot I've worn. Pair that with my fathers unhelpful comments suggesting I should die my hair pink and start a rock band, and I just didn't know if I'd actually ever wear them with confidence! I bought them anyway (always the right thing to do) and headed to Primark where I found my next pair. These are a LOT lighter and less 'grunge', so for £12 it was well worth buying them just incase the River Island pair didn't turn out very 'me'.

Here's the amazing River Island pair; and despite previous doubts, these really are amazing! They work amazingly with jeans, tights or bare legs- and I know they are going to see me through autumn as my staple piece! At £45 they are really good value too, in comparison to Topshop pairs ranging from £70-£90!! I've worn these almost everyday since purchasing; and even worse them for a night out during freshers with a leather-look skater skirt (also RI). When heels just aren't appropriate these do the job perfectly, I definatley recommend if your unsure like I was!

 

Now for the Primark pair- also a purchase I'm glad I made. These are much lighter and less 'in your face' for a more minimal look. I think these look better with tights and a girly dress. For £12 there's really nothing to loose! I'd suggest these if your unsure if the cut-out boot look is for you :)
