Thought I'd show you all a few new items from my ever-expanding wardrobe. As a regular reader of Company Magazine I jumped for joy when I came across a 20% off voucher for River Island in the latest issue. I wasted no time in snapping up this gorgeous dipped hem leather skirt  for £28 (instead of £35!). Even at full price this skirt would've been a must for my wardrobe as it ticks three of A/W 2012's key trends - leather-look, dipped-hem designs and schoolgirl pleats. 

I've teamed this gorgeous skirt with my trusty new Vans, which cost £39 from Schuh thanks to my student discount and free delivery! Everyone's been wearing Vans and I honestly tried to resist the trend but eventually gave in after friends told me how comfortable and versatile their Vans were. So far I can't complain!

Accessories come from cute boutiques Chelsea Doll and Moutique (you'll find links in my photo caption!) and the handbag is a lovely little vintage find which I paid around two pounds for. This little beauty forms part of my collection of handbags - one day they will fall on me and I'll die from handbag suffocation! As, animal skin is 'hot right now' (Rita Ora-ing it!) I thought I'd add some interest with a smidgen of snake print courtesy of this bag. 

Talking of bags, have you checked out my givaway? If not, it's running til the 16th September and I'm giving away a beautiful vintage Suzy Smith bag! Have a gander - if you're a follower, you can enter!
