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!
