First post - Solent uni open day & new purchases




As this is my first post I guess I should introduce myself; I'm Lauren, I live on the Isle of Wight and am an A2 student & sales assistant at Jane Norman.
Here is where I will post snippets of my life, clothes, beauty products, makeup looks etc.

Today I attended my first uni open day at Southampton Solent -  I already knew this would be my first choice, however today I finally got to meet present students and visit the accommodation. I am applying to study either fashion styling, makeup and hair design or beauty promotion, which are all under the same umbrella in terms of fashion courses at Solent.
I was super unsure of how to present myself as I wanted to be memorable but show my potential at the same time, in order to do this I chose to wear one of my favorite autumn transition looks for this strange summer/autumn weather we have going on.
Dress: Miss Selfridge, Jumper: Topshop, Shoes: Topshop, Socks: Asos
I also wore a pale pink wool blend coat from H&M which is currently available at £49.99.

After finishing the presentations I wanted to attend at the uni I ended up in my usual habitat - Topshop, and spending wayy too much money. I completely adore this monochrome bralet I managed to pick up at a reasonable price, it is absolutely ideal for the upcoming christmas period. I would pair it with a pair of black or white jeans (high-waisted skinnies/ mom) or even a skort. By adding a pop of colour on your lips or eyes and nails this will be one of my fave looks this AW.


I also managed to pick up this floral beauty in Miss Selfridge, which is quickly becoming one of my new places to shop. 



There is currently 20% student discount when presenting relevant student ID, this made it even more of a bargain at only £9.60 - would 100% recommend! 

I hope my first post hasn't dragged on too much, will update again tomorrow at some point. If you have any suggestions please contact me at lauren.saltonstall@gmail.com :)
