SMART CASUAL

ONLY 12 days left until I am off to Uni how scarily exciting (: I'm about ready though now I think. I've been getting to know some flat mates and they seem kinda good but as per we bonded over the love of cocktails (martinis) of course!! eeeek it's so exciting.

SO apart from my super horrific eyebrows which went terribly wrong this morning. I adore this outfit, it's a hard one to describe really maybe vintagy?? yeah lets go with that. I can't get enough love for fedora hats they are super cute. A shop which I have seriously fallen for recently is Matalan, it's reasonable and literally sells everything suitable for all ages and all styles its crazy, and this is where my dress is from the best bit was it was only £5 my mother even got the exact same one cute but awks haha! My denim jacket has made its appearance in previous blog post and it's an absolute gem of a jacket it goes everywhere with me almost.

BLACK N WHITE

I have never owned a pair of Culottes in my life, so these are a first for me and I like them a lot talk about comfort!! these must be the most comfortable things ever probably on par with pyjama bottoms... maybe?! and I wore them the whole day and kept them clean now that must be a record. 

You can't really see my bag on these pictures so i'll upload a picture of it on its own very shortly. Its the cutest little bag in the world (possibly), its a baby pink with a silver edge and it is small but it still fits my purse, lipstick, a mirror, concealer and my keys in! (you know all the important things) anyway this gem is from a little boutique in Whitby its a cannie little place which i've only just started shopping in. 

Whilst shooting this blog post my little boo Kitty Soft Paws came to join me in the sunshine so I couldn't resist getting a picture with her since she did win star pet 2014 and all.

Clobber For A Crazy Night

SO my new obsession is knee high boots... I just love 'em. I mean i've bought THREE pairs in one week thats a lot of shoes for just one week, yeah I went a little bit crazy. but c'mon how good do they look with a plain black T-Shirt dress?! This could be my new favourite going out clobber, it is such a plain outfit and so easy to put together it's affordable too and looks great!! my knee high boots were £14, my orange clutch bag £18 and my T-shirt dress £12 thats like £44 for an outfit which can be worn in many ways. I've chose to wear my MOSCHINO belt with it this time but you don't have to wear a belt with it at all just whack a gold statement necklace on and off you go. add a pair of frilly socks and chelsea boots and a denim jacket and theres a casual number for you its the perfect little dress! 

I'll be blogging a lot this weekend because the time has come... ITS FASHION WEEEK!! so i'll blog about my whole weekend away in London and keep you posted on all the little gems I find whilst shopping and also my outfits worn for each day of course. 

Dress- Boohoo

Bag- Unique 

Boots- Amazon

The Paisley Shirt

WELL heres the paisley shirt i've been telling you about... its crazy, In fact it could be up there with my favourite garments. I thought I looked very camouflaged in this outfit with the wintery browns and greens, I used to wear browns (tan) quite a lot and I don't know why that phase faded :( because these colours are perfect for this cold season.

This week I invested in a tripod instead of dragging my poor mother around the countryside with me. 

My Luis Vuitton bag was actually another lucky charity shop find. It is so handy and spacious. My tan leather skater skirt is also from a charity shop its originally from Oasis, the funny thing is I had my eye on this skirt for a while. My belt is Moschino so it was a little pricey so I had to save for months and months for it! but it is an amazing belt. which goes with every outfit ever put together!! 

  

GREAT finds

This weekend I went vintage shopping it was amazing! it's like a whole new world in those vintage fairs oversized fur coats, trilbys and my favourite thing of all time paisley shirts!! and yes I did purchase one and yes it will appear in a blog post very shortly, anyway.

I was soooo desperate for this leopard print skirt from TopShop it was proberly the best day ever when it came back in stock on boxing day! I wanted this skirt for a while then I saw Alexa in it at the fashion week that just made me want it even more. 

Well you all know how much I love those charity shops and you never know what you'll find well you see the genuine Mulberry bag I have on my arm. £5!! from St Catherines Hospice!! A REAL MULBERRY FOR A FIVAAA! crazy! it's all about the thrill of the hunt really ;)

9 to 5!

This outfit is formal but casual.. I like it! I don't really know where I got the inspiration for this from :) I wore it for a Manchester shopping trip it was super comfy and so easy to change when trying on outfits. You all know rolly necks are my favourites! I have a wardrobe full.

So in Manchester I didn't actually buy any clothes, I purchased some fresh make up instead. Benefit definitely has to be my favourite at the moment, I mean there hoola bronzer has to be a must for me! for people with chubby faces like me, this is the product for you to give you those cheek bones you dream of. I'll show you all the outcome in my next blog post tomorrow.

ON NYE

Well since I aren't the one for bling and sparkles I thought on New Years Eve I'd go quite plain but different. These trousers are an absolute favourite of mine my style inspiration for these were Miles Kane.. yup! he wore them on tour last year and they just stood out and looked cool. So I thought I'd purchase a pair. The lovely little clutch bag I have is from a little boutique in Whitby called Unique, I always go there on my lunch breaks almost everyday it's the canniest of places. 

Well yesterday I sent off my UCAS form how exciting and i'm kind of nervous I mean if I get this place it'd be my dream so many new doors would open for me. It'd be amazing I was born to be a city girl working in the fashion world... I just know it!

Who Doesn't love Dungarees seriously?!

Hi, sorry I haven't blogged in a while i've been quite busy sorting out college stuff (ZZzzz) anyway hows everyone's Christmas/ New years been? mine was great... I ate so much, drank too much bucks fizz at times, had a great time with my family and playing the odd competitive game of charades! well this year is a big year for me as i'll be moving down to London hopefully (I know I better start saving...again!) eeek I'll be doing fashion management level 2. will any of you be attending the fashion week in February that another thing i'm super excited for! 

Has it just happened to me or you guys too? the January sales have made everyone poor. Especially Topshop! man those sales were bloooming amazing. I got my wages on Christmas Eve and on Boxing I had nothing left.. seriously it was madness!! 

Anyway who doesn't love dungarees? They're literally the best things ever 1) you can literally match them with anything! 2) They're super comfy 3) EVERYONE suits them! these dungarees what I am wearing are a gem from the topshop sale £40 down to £20 Excellent, my heels are from Debenhams they're super comfy and super gorgeous, my blouse is a little ASOS treat ;) heres a new one for you I had never been in select before until the other day because of all the bad comments about it saying it was tacky etc.. well you guys were wrong the had I am wearing is from there and it was a bargain at £8 so if you want minor accessories and shoes etc I highly recommend it.
