*Burberry Style Poncho - Sammy Dress | Jumper (underneath) - Charity Shop | Jeans (DIY) - Primark | Boots - Linzi | Bag - Next | *Watch - Sammy Dress

How Burberry esc is this poncho from Sammy Dress?! As soon as this gem arrived, I was like, OMG this reminds me of Burberry so much! I love how soft the material is and the frayed detail it has on the ends. I wore two layers underneath it so that I could get away with wearing this without a coat covering it up, as it makes such a statement piece. Perfect for A/W - definitely a piece you should have in your wardrobe for the cold months, as this is great to wrap around yourself when you need to warm up a bit when the chills hit you.

As for the quality of this piece, I would say it's good, but some of the wool came off at the hem, but I was okay with this as I like pieces like this to be frayed due to it making the look more bohemian. You also have to be careful with this type of product due to snagging. But with this sort of material you always have to be anyway.

Also, how gorgeous is this black and rose gold, YES, ROSE GOLD, watch?! I seriously fell in love with it as soon as I opened my package. You should of seen my reaction it was hilarious. I just waggled the watch in the air like "IT'S ROSE GOLD!!!" One of my friends was there at the time when I was opening my package and she was laughing so hard because of my ridiculous reaction hahaa! On the website it looks gold on the pictures, but it obviously comes in rose gold, unless you order a different colour!

I was quite surprised at the prices of their products actually. They are as cheap as Primark! The shipping took about 24/25 days for it to get to me from the day I ordered it. Which is expected when it's come all the way from the likes of China. Other than that, the service I had from them was lovely.

I thought I'd keep it casual with my (worn to death) black DIY ripped jeans. They have been my absolute go to throughout A/W so I decided to buy another pair from Boohoo.
As for my boots, aren't they just so classy! I love a pointed toe boot. Especially since I bagged these in the Black Friday sales for £15 - they are now in the sale for only £10!! Go on girls, treat yourself seeing as they were £28! One bit of advice with these boots is that, even though they are black, they get marked easily so I have marks on the side that I need to see if I can get off with wipes. Another thing, I found a staple, yes a staple, in my boots that sticks out into my foot. It is under the sole so you have to take the boot apart to get it out. I tweeted the company and they didn't even acknowledge it. By this time I'd already worn them so I could not return them, so I just wear really thick socks with them and I don't feel it. I bet your thinking, why the hell did I keep them with a staple in them?! Well, I will attempt to get that staple out because I love these boots xD. I haven't heard any other complaints about their shoes so it must be a one off, but as I'm honest with you all, I feel you should know about this.
