I feel like I've neglected my blog a little lately as in the past week I've moved away for University! I've moved to Huddersfield and I'm really enjoying the university experience so far. It's been overwhelming but i've only been here just under 2 weeks and it's flown by! So I thought i'd put together a university style wishlist! Especially because in the next few weeks their will be 20% off student discount offers at all our favourite high-street stores!
So University for me is all about being stylish but comfortable. I don't think I'll ever understand why there's girls which turn up to lectures in 5 inch heels? I feel like I can never be separated from my trusty white converse at the moment. Especially since starting university again they are literally the only shoes on my feet!
So first on the list is this Black Cami Top. Black cami's are literally the ultimate style essential. You can wear them during the day but also so easily for a night-time look too. I love the detailing on this one too! During the day this would look great with blue ripped jeans (like these Topshop ones) and a pair of these black ankle boots!
A faux leather biker jacket like this one is another style essential. This is the sort of jacket you can wear day in, day out all year round. It's a great investment piece and will no doubt last you a couple of years! Ripped jeans are a massive trend this season and these blue ripped jeans from Topshop are an absolute must! They'll go with everything and you can wear them on a night out with a black cami top and heels for a perfect but chilled night-time look.
Last but not least I think a style essential this season is to dig out your old tartan shirt (or buy this shiny new pretty one) to last you this Autumn/Winter. You can wear tartan shirts in so many ways but I think they look extra good unbuttoned with a white t-shirt underneath with black skinny jeans and a leather jacket on top!
What do you think of my university style essentials? What are your style essentials at the moment?
I've currently started packing my things as I'm moving away to University again! I'm so excited to start my new course and I'm already thinking about my autumn/winter wardrobe, especially because it's a little chilly where I'm going so I'm thinking about practical warm things but also a bit stylish too! My current bag is falling apart and I've got my eye on this one from Marc B as it's so big and looks perfect for when you have to carry loads of things around! I haven't got as many nice tops as I thought I did and I'm looking for the type which you can easily throw on with a pair of jeans and converse like this one and I loved this feather print top from Miss Selfridge! Because it's September now it's time to start looking for knitwear. I've currently got my eye on this one from Topshop!
What do you think of these picks? What would you add to your wishlist?
University is pretty much just around the corner now! In just a couple of weeks I'm going to be at Univeristy and I've been packing my things and searching online for some new homeware bits I can buy to personalise my room a bit and make it a bit more of a home!
All these homeware pieces are under £15 which means they're really not breaking the bank! Tesco is great for homeware pieces. I love this floral duvet cover and think it would be perfect to make my uni room a little bit more girly! I've had my eye on these bowls for a while and they've gone down to just £6 in the sale. I've seen these wire heart baskets online and think they'd be perfect for storing perfumes and jewellery.
I've loved seeing jars like this on Pinterest and I've finally found this online! I can't wait to purchase one to make cocktails with while I'm at University. One thing I love having in my room is a diffuser to make my room smell nice and this berry flavoured one from Tesco seems perfect!
Are you going to University? What homeware purchases have you made lately?
It feels so strange writing one of these posts again. I'm a little bit behind with them but i'm determined to get back into the swing of things! One things for sure that the shops at the moment are stuck in that 'in-between' phase. You know where it's not quiet summer still but it's going into spring so it's hard to figure out what you should be buying!
I'm loving this Tropical Jumpsuit at the moment! I think it'd look amazing with a pair of chelsea boots and a leather jacket! One thing I seriously love is a striped t-shirt. You can never go wrong with them as they go with pretty much any outfit for a chic and effortless look. One thing I really want to invest in this season is a good pair of boots, a nice checkered shirt and a pair of ripped jeans!
Which items would you buy? What's on your current wishlist?
If like me you're heading off to University this September I thought this would be an appropriate post for you all! I'm so excited to go back and study this September but also super excited to have my own space to have a new room and cook for myself again! I've found some gorgeous cheap homeware during my online browsing lately and just had to show you all what I'm lusting after!
A bright duvet is an easy way to update your uni room as it's most likely going to be quite plain and basic. This duvet is under £10 and is only £9.50 and will add a great pop of colour to any room. Last time I went to uni I made the mistake of having white bowls you can never work out which ones are yours! I can't wait to snap up these cereal bowls so nobody will mistake mine for there's (I hope!)
I'm addicted to Pinterest at the moment (You can follow me here) and these bowls are so cute and pinterest like and only £7.50! I also think the heart shaped chopping board is super cute! Lastly my favourite pick of all is this scrabble mug! Who else has always wanted a scrabble mug with your initial on?
Are you moving out soon? Which is your favourite pick?
If there's any season I really love dressing for it's summer. I think in general everyone is a lot happier when the sun is out! I may not be in England right now but it seems to be glorious sunny weather there! So I've put together this weeks wishlist as my ideal summer wardrobe picks!
I love this striped print playsuit from Topshop. It's under £30 and a perfect summer pick. I think it would look amazing with white sandals! I love an 'ugly' sandal at the moment and these ones from River Island and these ones from Topshop are such gorgeous prints! I think floral tops are perfect for summer and they look amazing with white jeans and sandals! My favourite pick from this week's wishlist is this swimsuit. I think you could easily wear it during the day with white jeans but also look amazing in it on the beach with a tan!
What's on your summer wishlist this summer? Which of these picks would you add to your wishlist?
I'm a little bit behind with my usual blog posting as I'm in New Zealand at the moment! If you missed my first travel post about what I've got up to you can take a look at it here. There's so much I'm loving on the high-street at the moment! From Birkenstocks to printed trousers or a simple bodycon printed dress! When it comes to summer it's all about prints.
I recently came across this bargain of a bikini it's a triangl style bikini for a fraction of the price on Ebay! It's such a bargain! I would buy it in all colours but unfortunately I'm not seeing some hot sunshine this summer so they'd be wasted on me! (boo!) My other favourite in this post is this top! I think it would look amazing with white jeans and black birkenstocks for a perfect summer casual look!
What do you think of this wishlist? Which items would you add to your wishlist?
I absolutely love shopping for summer and my wishlist for this summer seems to be endless! I'm loving prints so much right now especially floral/palm prints. Sadly I won't be seeing the sun that much this summer because when I go to New Zealand it's winter but here's what I'd be rushing to buy if I was going on a sunny holiday!
I've always loved jumpsuits and the ones out this summer are amazing! I love this one from Miss Selfridge and think this is a perfect summer print and would look amazing with a white pair of sandals! Cami tops are back this summer and I'm loving this embellished one from Miss Selfridge. I think it would look gorgeous with skinny white jeans and a leather jacket if it's a bit of a colder day. Ugly sandals are my favourite thing at the moment and I recently welcomed white birkenstocks into my life and I love them but this pair from Topshop are a total bargain!

If there's one place you need to stop and buy your summer wardrobe from it's Missguided. They are faultless when it comes to on trend summer items! I thought I'd put this wishlist together for all your summer girlies looking for some inspiration/ideas for your summer clothes! Summer is my favourite time of the year and I'm currently trying to stop myself from buying everything on Missguided!
I love skater dresses at the moment they are so easy to wear! With some sandals and sunnies on a beach this would look amazing! I really like this floral print playsuit, it's perfect for a summery night out with white heels! I'm loving this shell top! It would look amazing with just a pair of jeans or over a bikini with some denim shorts on the beach!
Palm Print Two Piece - Top and Shorts Retro Print Two Piece - Top and Shorts Embroided Two Piece - Top and Shorts Floral Two Piece - Top and Skirt
If there's one thing Missguided do good it's co-ordinates/two pieces. I love how they are all so affordable and have bright prints! These are just a few of my favourites from the ones online at the moment! I really love the palm print two piece. I think with white sandals, bold lipstick and a tan it would look AMAZING!
What do you think of these items? What would you add to your wishlist?
As you can tell from the image underneath I'm LOVING prints right now! I mean it is summer after all right?! So here's what I'm obsessing over this week. I apologise to your bank balances cause I seriously want everything!
Okay so I have a confession to make. I am OBSESSED with Miss Selfridge right now. I just find myself wanting to go into my local store or online all the time. I am so excited for their new ins it's quite bad! Their summer collection is just so on point I am loving it! I have this first top in a different print which I'm loving you can see me style it here. This style of top I'm loving at the moment and you can see my obsession continuing in this weeks high-street picks!
I love a good floral print and I think a floral jumpsuit is essential this summer. It's the perfect summer piece and you can easily toughen it up with a leather jacket! Another favourite of mine are these floral sandals! I'm obsessed with ugly shoes right now and these are next on my wishlist!

This week it's been 5 year since I first started Fashion-Train. Although I didn't really blog until 3 years ago It felt right to celebrate Fashion-Train's 5th Birthday! I never imagined that I'd still be doing this 5 years on, that this would help me grow as a person and I never expected anyone to want to read my fashion thoughts so thankyou everyone! To help celebrate Fashion-Train being 5 I've put together a couple of fab giveaways for you all! This first one is to win a £50 Look Fantastic voucher!
Here's what I'd buy if I won the voucher! I've really wanted to try out these Bourjois Rouge Velvet Lipsticks for a while as a lot of beauty bloggers are raving about them! I'm a bit of a Benefit product addict at the moment and would love to try out the Coralista Blush! So I bet you're all thinking how do I enter this giveaway? All you have to do is enter via rafflecopter and follow me and Look Fantastic by our social media links! Enter here:
One thing I love doing each week is putting together a high-street wishlist post! If you haven't seen these posts before you can check out previous posts here! I am a high-street addict and I'm constantly online looking at what's new on the high-street each week! Here's what I'm loving this week.
One thing I'm loving at the moment is the 90's style crop tops. I think they are such good versatile tops to add to your wardrobe this summer! You just have to check out all the amazing crop tops Miss Selfridge have in! They're super cheap too and I'll definitely be stocking up on a few more of these crop tops before going away this summer! Another favourite of mine is printed trousers and they're a style essential for this summer. I love how you can team printed trousers with plain tees, leather jackets or with a blouse for a more smart-casual look. I recently bought these amazing sandals from Topshop and they've not left my feet ever since! They also come in white and silver too!
What do you think of this weeks wishlist? Whats your favourite item?
Okay, so I think I've got a new obsession and that's with co-ordinates. I've recently rediscovered my love for Ark Clothing and the Co-ords they have in at the moment are just out of this world AMAZING!
I think co-ordinates are a great way to update your wardrobe for summer. I love the patterns of these co-ords and I think the white one is gorgeous too. You can wear them seperately for a day-time look or you can wear them together for a great night-time look. They'll be great on a holiday because they are pretty much 3 outfits in one!
I'd wear a co-ord top with a pair of jeans, denim shorts, disco pants or a skater skirt for a simple but stylish day-time look. I think for a more casual look I would wear the co-ord bottoms with a simple baggy jumper or an oversized t-shirt!
How would you wear a two piece? Do you think they're a great summer staple?
Lot of you loved last week's post and so I couldn't wait to show you what's in store this week! I'm loving far too much on the high-street these past few weeks and here's just a few of the pieces on the high-street I'm loving!
One thing I'm loving at the moment is the 90's style crop tops. You may have seen me style on in this post! I fell a little bit in love when I saw this River Island one when I saw it on Oxford Street a few days ago! I think denim leggings are a great alternative if you don't like jeans. These Topshop ones are a bargain! I am loving the ugly sandal trend at the moment and these Topshop ones are next on my wishlist!

P.S It's 15% off Missguided today for students (dream come true!)
I absolutely LOVE putting these types of posts together! I find I'm a very visual person and love putting collages together and I really want to buy all the items of this weeks wishlist!
I've absolutely LOVED this crop top ever since I first saw it online. I think it would look great with white skinny jeans, denim shorts or on a night out with disco pants. Following on my obsession with the floral aloha print joni jeans I'm trying to stop myself from buying this pair but I'm so tempted to make an online order before they sell out! Another favourite of mine in this wishlist is this playsuit! I think it's the perfect style staple and it's only £40!

I've been a little bit behind on these high-street picks posts at the moment. It feels like ages ago since my last high-street picks (which you can check out here)! I love putting these types of posts together and going back through previous posts like this to see what I was loving!
Hawaiian Floral Cami - Topshop Tropical V Bralet - Topshop Mint Handbag - Ebay Fluro Pink Rib Crop Tee - Topshop Blue Gingham Joni Jeans - Topshop Barry M Pastel Gelly Nail Polishes - ASOS Faux Leather Flatform Sandals - Missguided Blue Playsuit - In Love With Fashion
I loved this floral cami when I first saw it. I thought it would look great with a pair of white jeans and a pair of sandals! This tropical bralet seems to be everywhere in the blogosphere at the moment! I think this print is absolutely gorgeous for summer! This mint handbag is an absolute bargain from Ebay for only £12! It's a great summer staple and such an easy cheap way to update your wardrobe!

These high-street round up posts are probably one of my favourite kind of posts to put together! I love pulling together my favourite items out on the high-street and online each week. I am obsessed with florals and pastels at the moment and here's what I'm loving this week!
Topshop always seem to kill it when it comes to basic crop tops/bralets. I'm loving this blue one and it'd look amazing with pattern trousers, with shorts on holiday or just on an night out with a statement necklace and disco pants! I don't yet own a pair of floral joggers but I absolutely love these! Playsuits are also a bit of an obsession with mine and I just think this playsuit would look amazing with white heels and a statement clutch. Skater shoes like these Gingham ones and they're perfect for everyday. If you're tired of your converse then these type of skater shoes are definitely worth a try!

p.s A little heads up It's currently FREE DELIVERY over on Topshop !
It's amazing how quickly trends can come round. This time last year I was doing a university project based on palm prints and now there's palm prints and tropical prints everywhere! I've noticed over the past few weeks more and more tropical print items are turning up on the high-street and online and I thought I'd show you all my favourites!
Green Tropical Palm Print Top - River Island Tropical Palm Tree Skort - Topshop Pineapple Print Jeans - Topshop Cami Top by Motel - Topshop Tropical Print Crop Top - New Look Tropical Skater Shoes - Topshop Tropical Print Scrunchies - Topshop Tropical Print Headband - Topshop
My number one favourite has to be this top! It's only about £12 I think which is an absolute bargain and it's the perfect print to take you through to this summer. I'd wear this top with high-waisted jeans, white shorts or just a simple skater skirt! These pineapple print jeans are in the same style as my floral jeans in my previous outfit post which I love! I think the pineapple print stands out really well and would go so well with a simple coloured crop top for a perfect outfit!
One trend I love is the cami top trend and this cami top from Motel is absolutely amazing! With a pair of black skinny jeans and a pair of converse this outfit is a perfect daywear look. If you can't afford a key statement piece which is tropical you can always opt for a simple hair accessory to update your outfits this summer. These Tropical Scrunchies from Topshop are amazing!
What do you think of these pieces? Which tropical print item would you add to your wishlist?
