 SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS LEGGINGS:PRIMARK SCARF:EVANS

Two outfits in two days, I've impressed myself!

I love this shirt, in fact I love everything I'm wearing today. But I've got a problem.

I'm freezing cold.

It's winter now and i have completely fucking forgotten how to layer successfully.

I mean honestly, a long sleeve tee and a sheer shirt? What crack am i smoking? I was never gonna be warm!

I need to re-learn my winter fashion skillzz.

Because throwing a fur coat over everything is not good form!

Here's a picture of my face, slightly bewildered is my most used expression:

OH! My lippy is Barry M Punky Pink :)

SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS JEANS:ASDA SANDALS:EVANS VEST:H&M SUNGLASSES:NEW LOOK

This is what i wore on my actual day of birth on Wednesday. I had a very, very chilled out day but it was no less lovely and big thanks go out to the people who made it so :)

I'm very much in love with this shirt at the moment because it stops me getting fried by the sun but doesn't make me stupidly hot (who loves sheer, i do!!). These jeans were a gamble though, i love pastels but mostly on other people or in accessory form so i was a bit nervous buying them, i love them now though so i guess they just needed gothing up a bit!

Just because i can, here are some other photos from the day:

I asked my flatmate to take OOTD pictures and she started with snapping me trying to get up. Nice!

Here's me and the flat mate responsible, 'scuse my eye, it was trés sunny.

Finally, here's a picture of me cruising round campus on my friends bike: loving life <3

I just thought i'd share a few uni night out outfits. The pictures are fairly typical university night out pictures and i'm not trying to be all like "ooooh look at me and all my alcohol/ciggies/awesomeness" but that is a part of my lifestyle so, yeah, hope no one is too offended :)

It's all coming to a close here now, lots of people have finished everything and moved out, i can hear suitcase wheels outside my window as we speak! I however still have two assessments, so no 3 week end of freshers binges for me! I get home on June 10th but i have no idea what i am doing with my summer yet. I've applied for a lot of residential jobs working with kids so i could be living anywhere, wish me luck with those pleeaassseeee :)

I am dreadfully sorry posts have been so sparse but it has been quite difficult, much more so than i anticipated, to keep this little gem updated. I'm going to work harder at it over the summer, time allowing, and hopefully maintain a once a week ritual next uni year :)

I hope all readers are well and happy and beautiful and things. Big Love <3

SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS DRESS:ASOS SHOES:NEW LOOK

As the title suggests i wore this for a night out, on Thursday. I'd bought the shoes that day (i am obsessed with turquoise right now!) and i threw this all together from the few bits of clothing i have that aren't joggers, t-shirts and leggings. If there is one thing i hate about uni life it is the fact that all my stuff is in two places and the clothes i always want to wear are never with me! But i guess i did alright with this one :)
I look so lost in the picture though, i am totally blaming the booze!
Speaking of booze, i don't remember many of the evening's minor details but i do remember at least 3 people makiing Beetlejuice comments RE my shirt, so i was right to name my other post about this item of clothing what i did then!

It's back to uni for me this weekend and straight into a metric butt load of work and deadlines so god knows when I'll be blogging again. It's shitty i know but, well, it's just shitty! I do have lots of stuff i want to write about though so i will try desperately to find the time!!!

JUMPER:NEW LOOK VEST:H&M JEANS:DOROTHY PERKINS BOOOTS:DR MARTEN

Can y'all tell i was at my grandma's, when i took these, does the brown 70's carpet give it away? :)

Bought this jumper a few weeks back, i stumbled across it looking for a large size in a different jumper. It's not something i;d normally buy, i'd admire it; but never actually get it! As a few people have hastened to tell me: this is not the most flattering of jumpers, but quite frankly, i don't give a flying fuck! I've had equally as many compliments on it and one of the girls on my course at uni even nicknamed it the Andy Warhol Jumper, apparently it reminds her of pop art which i think is pretty darn cool.

P.S.

I do own other shoes aside from my docs but A: The "these are new i want to wear then all the time" hasn't worn off and B: I took a very limited but practical selection to Grandmother's for xmas!

Quality Time

I went for a little picnic with my Dad today. Just us, by the river, chillin'.

It's sort of hitting me now that in a couple of months i'm not going to be living at home anymore and whilst i am of course, very excited, i'm also aware of how much i will miss certain people!

So yeah, i'm getting my quality time in now!

DRESS(WORN AS SKIRT):PRIMARK TOP:NEW LOOK JACKET:DOROTHY PERKINS BRACELET:H&M NECKLACE:GIFT

I wore two of my favourite trends today, my most loved recent addition to my wardrobe and some beautiful jewellery i'd forgotten all about!

The stripes and maxi trends have by far been my favourites for summer, totally digging almost every striped item i see and y'all know how much i love maxi's (go maxi or go home, that's my motto!) Anyone got any favourite trends that they've worn to death like me?

This denim is the recent addition i am loving, i've never found a denim jacket that fitted so well and looked so good and i know this is sleeveless so is more aesthetic as opposed to practical but whatever, i love it!

And the forgotten jewellery is everything i'm wearing, i bought the bracelet from the H&M men's section (best for accessories IMHO) and i found the necklace lurking in the bottom of a jewellery box, it was a gift to which i added the vintage tooth pendant.

So i had my afternoon with Pa and tonight i'm hangin' with some of my girls (Hello Pizza!), then i'm spending my Sunday making arty shiz and drinking tea! Hope you all have a beautiful weekend and if you're a Brit, woohoo for the sunshine!! : )

SHIRT:EVIL TWIN@ASOS SHORTS:DIY TIGHTS:EVANS BOOTS:DR MARTENS

I have no idea what came over me but this afternoon i got crazy with eyeliner, over-flashed my photos and posed with a face like a slapped arse. For the record i'm pulling my shorts down in that second photo, because there is nothing worse than denim hotpants riding up your you know what...

This shirt arrived ages ago but for some silly reason i haven't worn it yet. It's so beautiful. The fabric, the buttons, the fit, the style. I don't have one complaint. It's longer in the back; which i love. It's baggy; which i love and it is striped; which i really love! Fit wise, i have a Medium which is something like a UK 14 but with room for fashionable oversized-ness. I think this would easily fit a person 2 sizes bigger than me (around a UK 26-28!?!) so if you're interested in getting it and they have some left; go grab one!

Not sure what i'm doing this weekend, so as far as outfits go it may be quiet however i will be doing a birthday post on Sunday as BMB turns one! And i;m off out on Monday night so there'll be an OOTD then!

OOTD: Brian Fantana

So i didn't get a single shot of my clothing last night, i was having too much fun, i hope this makes up for it though! I'm not actually that hungover, more tired due to sleeping on my friend's floor for less than 6 hours, but whenever i wake up from a night out i always think of that scene in Anchorman

 

 DRESS:PRIMARK T-SHIRT:H&M BANGLE:EVANS

Yeah, still wearing yesterday's make-up, rock and roll baby.
I have been dying to show y'all this dress. I bought it the weekend i got back from the states for £9, god i missed Primark; yes it's busy and messy and not exactly consistent but you can score some serious bargains! I bought the top in America and saw no one wearing it there but since i've got back i've seen 10 people in it, random fact but i thought you should know : )
I really need to learn how to knot t-shirts better, this one ain't to bad but sometimes it looks terrible when i do it, srsly terrible.
I'm not wearing any shoes, because i'm a free spirit flower child (as i announced to the whole of Topshop yesterday when i walked around the store wearing 3 flower headbands which, for the record, i did not buy)

The more i look at it the more i am loving double stripes! And the thing about it is i threw this on. I packed the dress in my bag yesterday to wear on the drive home and when i got in i put the t-shirt over it. I didn't plan it or think about what i was doing i just chucked it on.
I swear some of the best outfits happen when you put no conscious effort into dressing yourself : )
