Happy Monday, folks! Now that I’ve been over here a good solid while, it’s kinda been time for a wardrobe update. I’ve worn a lot of the same pieces over and over again (which is exactly what I’d planned on), but now I’m getting a bit bored. Instead of wasting my time shopping in stores across London every couple weeks, I just hit up a few tried and true UK favorites online.
The first is ASOS – because the warehouse is in London, with their premier delivery service you can always get next day delivery for only £10 a year! ASOS has always been a hit or miss for me, but when I do find stuff, it rocks. I usually can always find 2-3 things I want to keep out of 5-7 things I’ve ordered. Yes, this requires a bit of back and forth with the post office, but I’m so used to walking everywhere it doesn’t even bother me! Two new items I picked up recently from ASOS include this elegant boucle skirt and this tailored blazer coat. I think both will be very useful when the temps drop further – the skirt will look amazing with tights and boots, and the coat I can throw over just about anything! Both were inexpensive, which makes the purchase easy and worth it.
A few other pieces I’m craving on ASOS right now include this chain-detailed tweed jacket, this chunky sleeveless turtleneck tunic, and this incredibly chic camel coat.
Stay tuned to find out my other go-to’s for online shopping while abroad! PS – apologies for the slightly wrinkled coat here… I’m having issues with my iron and buying a steamer here is so expensive! Hoping it’ll eventually just relax!

Ooh! You just gave me some major inspo! I have a similar blouse (it’s sleeveless) and a black tweed skirt. Such a great pairing! Of course, I wish I had that white Chanel!!

I really like this ensemble, especially the top. It’s so London. And yes, it will work just as well with tights.
Do you mind saying what size skirt you’re wearing? I’m always nervous to buy online! Does it run big, small or true to size? Thanks!
Hi Olivia! Of course not! I bought a six and it fits true to size! xx Merritt
So chic! That camel coat looks beautiful, too, one of the pieces on my wish list for fall :) You should try Try.com for Asos – I just discovered it and have used it twice already! Lets you essentially borrow clothes from online stores and then you decide what you want to keep, send back what you don’t: http://bit.ly/1OUm5uN
