As the end of the school term is near and Christmas is right around the corner, I keep finding myself doing some online (window) shopping.  I have lots of deadlines looming, and whenever I give myself a break (maybe a few too many breaks) I'm back online.  There are a few specific pieces, like the jeans and the ankle boots, that I've been looking at for what feels like months now.  I've been close to adding them to my basket on a few occasions, but I have to keep reminding myself that Christmas is only weeks away!  When did that happen!?  Plus, a little birdy told that one of my family members might be getting me these boots for Christmas.  While the dresses and the blouse will most likely remain unpurchased within the next month or so, I might be able to convince myself to buy the puffer jacket and/or the jeans.  I've been after some raw hem jeans for a while now, and I love the patchwork aspect of this pair.  And even though it seems I keep buying jackets, I'm *this* close to buying a puffer jacket.  Whether it's the one I've listed here or another, it's surprisingly chilly in London.  Back in Montana it's achingly cold, but we also have cars to get everywhere, so in a sense, you don't spend as much time outside (unless you're a skier, which I never was).  However, in London, I'm always walking everywhere and spending more time outside.  It may not be as cold, but after spending a few hours out there, the temperature still gets to you.

If I do decide to get any of these items, I'll probably be posting it on Instagram first, so be sure you're following me - @itselizabethclaire!

By the River

Wearing:

Jacket - H&M | Dress - WhoWhatWear for Target | Sneakers - Adidas | Bag - Oasis

Hello everyone!  Just a quick post for today; I didn't have class today, so some of my friends and I wandered down to the river and walked along the Millennium Bridge.  I love this bridge for many reasons, the obvious being that it has a gorgeous view of St. Paul's cathedral; but for Harry Potter fans, you'll recognize this as the bridge that the death eaters destroy at the beginning of The Half Blood Prince movie!  All I wanted to do was to pose on the bridge like it was being destroyed, but I had to restrain myself!

I wore a long dress and a leather jacket and was surprisingly warm.  My friends gave me a hard time for not wearing any tights with my dress, but that's just my Montana roots coming through (we can deal with the cold exceptionally well).  My hands, though, were freezing!  Next time I'll be sure to bring gloves!

Trends My Mom Hates: Fishnets

Wearing:

Jacket - H&M | Dress - Forever 21 | Shirt - Boohoo | Boots - Asos | Tights - Asos | Bag - Oasis | Belt - Target

Alright, too be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure if this is a trend that my mom hates since I no longer see her everyday.  That being said, knowing her for almost 20 years, I can almost guarantee that she probably doesn't care for it.  When I first saw the trend myself a few months back on instagram, I wasn't entirely sold on it either.  But some of my friends based in New York were really rocking it, then I moved to London and a few of my new friends here have worn them as well.  I still wasn't sure on it, but then I actually needed to buy them for a school project I was working on (yes, really).  Once they were in my hand, I knew that I just had to try the trend too, and what do you know?  I kinda loved it.  They're surprisingly comfortable and kept my legs warmer than I thought they would.  Unfortunately, they already have a hole in the toe after only one and a half wears (the half a wear is from my project), but I'm going to try and keep wearing them until they get too uncomfortable on the toes.
For this look, I really wanted to incorporate my new leather jacket.  Is it really leather?  Definitely not; I got it from H&M for £20 (I got it for half price - score!).  However, I'm in love with it and can't take it off.  Because it's nearing winter, I paired the jacket and tights with short-sleeved denim dress with a turtleneck layered underneath for an extra bit of warmth.  Finally I decided on my new Chelsea boots, as they're a classic that can be paired with almost anything.  I wanted to go rather subtle when styling these fishnets because they can easily go very racy - a look I would like to avoid.
In other news, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday.  Since I'm London, I didn't really celebrate it, but I am having a Friends-giving tonight that I'm really looking forward to.  It's been a lot of fun introducing my new English friends to American traditions.

Feeling Blue

Wearing:

Coat - John Lewis | Shirt - Zara | Jeans - BDG (Urban Outfitters) | Boots - Monki

Hello again!  It always seems like whenever I try to get back in the habit of blogging, something stops me again.  This time it's school.  These past few weeks (and the next few as well) seemed to just come crashing down upon me with deadlines.  Whilst I'm doing alright with the work load, it's hard to balance it with blogging.  So when did I take these pictures?  It's seems that I only had time during class!  One day during class, our instructor wanted everyone to become more accustomed with the cameras and sent us all out to take photos.  I had no intent on having my picture taken that day (it was the day after the election, and I was wearing all black because I was a bit disappointed in the results), and despite my hair looking rather a mess, it was still fun to get out there.  My friend and I found this fun, blue was that we enjoyed shooting in front of, and it was right on campus!  

Anyway, sometime this week I'm going to try and venture out into central London for some blog photos; hopefully deadlines won't get the best of me!

Hit Play

Look who's back!  Well I've taken a month off from blogging, and I'll tell you, I've missed it so much!  But also, for those of you who are familiar with this blog, I'm sure this looks a lot different!  Welcome to "Wear She's Gone," a fashion and travel blog.  As I said in my last post, I just didn't think that the name "Rockin' the Rockies Style" suited this blog anymore; I'll always be from the Rocky Mountains, and I don't want to forget that part of me, but now I've grown and moved on from there.  London is my new home for at least the next few years, and I can't wait to explore every part of it.  I've also updated my Instagram handle to @itselizabethclaire.  It's still rather long, but I have a rather long name.

I just want to thank everyone again for staying with me.  I'm not sure exactly how often I'll be able to update (I'm still a fulltime student).  But let me just say, I'm loving all the changes going on in my life.  I was so nervous about everything before I left, but I can 100% say that I have zero regrets.

If you have any questions, or just want to chat, leave your comments below!  I'd love to hear from you!
