Daily wear: Back to Black

Hi guys,
Well my brightly coloured holiday outfits have gone back in my wardrobe and I am officially back into my regular outfits on head to toe black. It feels bizarre to be wearing a jacket in the middle of August, but it's just been too chilly to leave the house without one!


I'm wearing a silk vest from River Island over a longer line Topshop vest. The jacket is Silence and Noise (from Urban Outfitters) the necklace is blank London, the bag and ring you've seen before in the last post, and the shoes are my newest Sarenza clogs.

I am slightly in love with these shoes: they look like proper heels, but the platform at the front is tall enough that my foot is actually flat. That makes them comfortable enough to wear all day long - and I haven't had them off this weekend! My other favourite thing about this outfit is the jacket: I got it from the Urban Outfitters sale about 2 years ago and it was only £10, but it is perfect for jazzing up plain black outfits and giving them some personality!

I've completely missed the summer sales this year: but I don't feel disappointed. I've had my wedding and summer holiday, so it feels like summer is over for me and i'm ready for Autumn to arrive. I've even started doing research for my new winter coat: not long to go now!

Love, Tor xx

Late alert: Urban Outfitters sample sale

OK so I know i'm late to the table with this, and now it only really applies to anyone central London based, but the Urban Outfitters sample sale is on from now until 5pm. I didn't want to direct you to something rubbish so I didn't post this earlier (I dont generally post sample sales unless I know you wont be wasting your time going) but I popped down in my lunch hour and picked up some nice stuff: although it was hot and sticky and clothes were strewn everywhere. Pretty much mayhem really!!

Here are the prices I can remember, so you have an idea of what you're going down for:
Sunglasses; 50p
Hats/Scarves/Gloves: £4
Dresses; £15
Shoes; £5 (unbranded) £10 (branded)
Jersey tops; £5
Jeans; £15
Hair stuff; £1
Leggings: £3

I got a lovely fur hat, some gorgeous cream and tan brogues for a fiver, a couple of sequinned head bands and a pair of leggings. The sizes were generally pretty small (either labelled "small" or "8") but there was some other sizes. There were some great looking cheap Monday jeans and some lovely lightweight summer jersey dresses, as well as some quality wool coats which were being mostly ignored (I can't remember the price of these!)

They also had a massive selection of their gifty-type stuff and homewares, almost all of which was a pound. I got some "love" book ends, rolling stone ice cube tray (don't ask!) and bird shaped pegs all for a pound each!

I'll update this post with pictures later, but wanted to get it up quick, so that if you're close by you can check it out! (Update: Updated!!)

Love, Tor xx

PS - They were advertising this as for men too, but aside from one dodgy jumper I didn't see a single piece of menswear - it must've all gone this morning!
