Priorities

COAT:EVANS(OLD) LEGGINGS:PRIMARK BOOTS:DR MARTENS TOP:ASOS CURVE

Bringing this coat back from the depths of my wardrobe was either a great or terrible decision. It's really fucking old, it's broken and to be honest it might be about as fashionable as wearing a plastic bag as a hat.

Buuuuut, it is also warm, comfortable, surprisingly easy to wear with most outfits and comes with pockets full of teenage angst (well, Tesco receipts from when I was at college actually but that's basically the same thing).

I bought this top from ASOS what must be years ago now and I've nearly gotten rid of it so many times but something always makes me hold onto it. Not sure if it has appeared on here before or not but I honestly can say I still don't know how I feel about it.

Thoughts?

 Yay or Nay?

I've noted a real absence of comments on the last few posts, I mean page views are at an all time high (thanks BTW!) but there's no vocal response coming.

I love hearing from readers, no matter if you've just dropped in for one post or are a regular and if commenting here doesn't suit you please feel very welcome to tweet or Tumblr me instead.

I also am very welcoming to suggestions for BMB, is there something in particular you'd like to see?

SPEAK UP!

This post is all about these leggings.

I love them.

I physically have to stop myself from wearing them every day. I mean i'm a sucker for fashion but let's face it, comfort comes before anything really, at least on a day to day basis. And you don't get more comfy than leggings. I don't care if that makes me sound like a 1980's housewife!

I guess the pattern and colour is a really good way to make my outfit more interesting and they make me feel so 90's; i swear i had a pair like these as a kid. I told my friend Elliot they're my 90's Interpretive Dance Leggings, pretty accurate description if you ask me!

The lipstick i'm wearing is a wicked matte coral colour in the Kate Moss Rimmel collection, i can't really be bothered to grab it and write the details now but i'm gonna post on my new lippys this week so you'll find out soon enough :)

Today i am mostly listening to: The Skints

beauty post: necklace nails

As i was getting dressed i remembered the bargain £1 necklace i bought in Edinburgh and decided to wear it.

Then i decided to match my nails to it, because that's what all the cool kids do these days...

I used Rimmel 60 Seconds in 805 Grey Matter as my base as i already had it on. Then I taped off sections and used Rimmel 60 Seconds in 825 Sky High, Barry M 308 Berry Ice Cream, Barry M 320 Foil (gold) and Barry M 300 Acid Yellow to make triangle-y shapes.

It was super easy and came out pretty neat!

I'll be bored of it by tomorrow but if i was in a more committing mood I'd slap a top coat over it all to keep it fresh for a couple days :)

DRESS:ASDA BELT:MARKET STALL SHOES:PRIMARK

Random Story: Got this dress mad cheap ages ago when i popped into an Asda in Bristol to buy pasta. It was like £4 or something.

The seams have ripped and been repaired (by me, skillzzz!) but whatever, £4, i shall not complain!

My hair has gotten so freakin long man!

Other notes about this post:

It proves a point i made HERE. That i have no set style aesthetic. Last OOTD was all grunge and boots and 90's hair. Today i look like a 1940's Italian Mamma minus some seamed stockings and a sensible heel.

I lost my shit when i saw these leggings in Primark. How long have i wanted galaxy/nebula print stuff? ONLY, LIKE, FOREVER! FOREVER!

Just look at them:

I HAVE THE UNIVERSE ON MY LEGS!

Sometimes, just sometimes, the answer to my happiness is in Primark.

BLOUSE:ASOS CURVE JEANS:DOROTHY PERKINS SHOES:NEW LOOK

So this was my hittin' the town outfit on saturday night. I love that this top went on sale at ASOS, i would have been pretty annoyed at myself for spending it's full price because now i am a student bum, that's like, a weeks worth of food! Apologies for red eye, my editor doesn't really remove it too well!!! If someone wants to buy me photoshop, well that'd be lovely :)

Here's me and my babe Lauren, she's been featured on BMB many a time, 'cos she's fine

Details

Went to a friend's gig last night. Hadn't had my eardrums torn to shreds by live hardcore in a while and plus my beautiful friend Lauren was there so i got to say farewell to her.
Put together what i thought was a crackin' outfit but i've packed my tripod so decided to focus on detail shots of a few things.

 

 

I'm so i love with the skull and axes earring. I found it with some beads and buttons; turns out it used to be my dad's! From back in his biker/rocker/punk days. The rest of of the ear stuff is fairly standard and for those interested i'm wearing a Doroth Perkins dress and an Evil Twin shirt from ASOS.

In other news i am all packed up and ready to move into my new room at uni tomorrow. Just have to pack away this beast of a laptop and i'm done. Tonight i'm off to my Grandparent's house which is pretty much the halfway point distance wise, we're going out for a meal to celebrate a couple of birthdays and my move into higher education and hopefully doing something worthwhile with my life :)
I'll probably be offline for a couple of days whilst i settle in but should be back in full force by the middle of next week.
Wish me luck 'all!

Skirt & Scarf

TOP:DOROTHY PERKINS SKIRT:NEW LOOK SCARF:ZARA BELT:MARKET STALL

Forgive the SHITTY quality of the photo, my lighting is non existent when the sun is tucked behind mammoth rain clouds, i really should invest in a big ass lamp. Oh, and excuse my face, i was just uncomfortable in front of my camera today, too long an absence i guess.

I've neglected my scarf collection this year, i have tons of them and it was always my thing. I was never seen scarf-less, ever, seriously, it was bordering on addiction.

I really need to take a close up of this belt at some point, it's real leather that i bought from a bonafide leather worker and it's beautifully embossed!

I've got a pretty busy couple days ahead of me (so glad i slept a lot this weekend, cos i ain't getting it now!) but on Wednesday i'm having a stupidly girly night in with a friend, she thinks i was kidding about underwear clad pillow fights and i really wasn't : ) We're gonna talk about boys and their cooties whilst listening to show tunes and painting our nails and the point of me saying this is that i will take pictures to post on Thursday so see y'all then!
