Hola,

Seeing as we're coming into the winter months, I thought I would do an inbetween-y outfit, one that is a perfect transitional from autumn to winter. Obviously I would this teamed with a massive coat and probably 5 pairs of tights, but for blog benefit I froze my butt off and went without. So the past two weeks have been pretty busy (hence the lack of posts) but now I have finished uni for the term and sent off my UCAS, so hopefully (fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed) I will get into one of my 5 choices!! If you have been wondering what I've been doing, simply click on this link - Fashion and Textiles blog to see, it is the analytical side of my course, so if you want to see pictures just check my instagram (link at the side of the page) The course has been pretty full on and I would be lying if I said I wasn't glad it's done for the term! If you are considering an art based degree, I really recommend doing some sort of art foundation first. It will 100% show you if it is the right course for you to continue onto at degree level!! So many people I know have dropped out after picking the wrong course, and honestly this foundation diploma has been one of the best things I've ever decided to do.

Anyway, life lesson over. If you have read my blog before you will probably have noticed I'm a bit of a fan of jewelry, and jewelry in particular that I have bought, or been bought from markets around the world. I think there is something so awesome about going to a place, having a million memories and being able to wear that anytime, anywhere. It's always subtle because you can never tell where they're from, but I love it. So, xmas is coming up................................................................................ hint x

I am THO excited for Christmas, I get to go to Cambridge to see my fam and eat enough food for 3 people and get pressies and give pressies, probably my favourite time of year. Even these earrings look like little Christmas trees, the excitement is real.

But yeah, sidetracking. 

I will hopefully be uploading LOTZ this holiday as long as I'm not working too much.

Oh and also, I am selling lots of bits (most of it gross) on my ebay, so have a little lookie - elsmis2010 some of it is nice lol

TA FOR RETURNING

Big love

(come back soon)

I repeat-

(If you don't want to get me a Christmas pressie, then I will accept you following my other social media's as a gift instead.)

Wearing Swimsuits in Public - Horse Edition

 OOTB (beach)

OOTN

Backless Leotard/Swimsuit - Primark, Berlin

Skirt - Boohoo

Shoes - Either Primark or something like that I can't remember 

(might sell these let me know if any other size 3 gals are interested)

Hat - Stall in Hvar

Lipstick - Russian Red, Mac

I know it's not summer anymore *cries* but I actually shot this 'ootd to ootn' about a month ago...........so it still counts, Leotards are basically the most useful (most distressing thing to wear when desperate for the toilet) item of clothing, they can be dressed up/down and they can be worn alone! Although I don't recommend you start prancing around wherever you live in just a swimsuit in the middle of August, its not cute. 

Anyway, I saw this when shopping in Berlin and I thought it was kinda cool and for a mere 3 euros, I thought why not, annoyingly as it isn't a "thong" style you tend to get a VPL in anything worn which becomes a bit of an issue but it looks fab from the front so maybe I just will always face people when wearing it.

I've never actually 'ootd-ootn' before, but it seems like a great idea. No wait I'm lying I did! The day I went to the Bloggers Love Fashion week Event (blog post HERE for that badboy) I actually had worn that H&m cropped jumper and Reeboks over ripped jeans for the notorious Nottinghill Carnival earlier that day, very rainy affair. 

Ta as always for reading

Look out for A/W 14 (see what I did there) posts to come!!

luv n hugz

Chinese Beauties

Dress/Jumper - China <3 but eBay, link HERE 

Belt - Vintage

Lace Bralette - Calvin Klein 

Shoes - Boohoo

Earrings - Spanish Markets

Necklace - 18th bday pres, will find out and get back to you

Clutch - Fiorelli

Hair Donut  - Primark

Seeing as all of my outfits are daytime and casual, I thought I would spice it up a bit and do an evening look. No not quite black tie, but I can't say that's a look many people ever need to wear. So this beauty only £5.95 from Chinese eBay including postage?!?!?! is so so comfy, possibly greatest buy ever? 

The best part about buying random stuff from Chinese eBay is that even if it looks awful, at the end of the day it probably only cost £5 and you can sell it on Depop for £20... Not that I do that.

My depop is here btw, check me out.

Boohoo have the most brilliant collection of heels for very reasonable prices, these despite being 6.5 inches are extremely comfortable, not that I can walk in them but whatever. They look good.

This necklace is the sweetest thing, my mum's best friend got it for me for my 18th last September and it is just beautiful. Do you remember when we were little and we all bought those quartz stones - like this

Well the necklace is simply one of those spray painted gold on a long chain, and it is soooo pretty. I know you aren't meant to mix silver and gold jewellery, but my gold version of the earrings I am wearing have lost 1 earring, so alas.. stuck with silver.

Safe my lovelies

Birkenstocks Are Back, And They're Flatforms

Dungarees - River Island

Croptop - BDG

Choker - eBay 

Other Necklace - Birth present... (In other words, I don't know)

Scrunchie - DIY OBVIOUSLY - here's how I made it CLICK THIS

Platform Birks - Truffles

HOLA EVERYBADY I AM OFFICIALLY BACK! But sadly not black. 

(white girl problems of slow tanning)

Oh, how much I have missed you all! 

This is pretty much the exact outfit I wore on the plane to Amsterdam to start off my UNBELIEVABLE month travelling, which I shall post about very soon. I had been searching for dungaree's for absolutely bloody ages, ebay, topshop, asos etc but I didn't want rip-off Levi's so I thought I would wait to visit Bricklane/Camden/Shoreditch etc to go buy a second hand pair and in the meantime I bought these.  They're sort of silky, so actually really light to wear in summer, but teamed with a thick knitted jumper I can definitely carry these through to Autumn Winter, oh the variety. Very good purchase.

Flares r fab.

I am aware of the hypocritical nature of me buying these shoes following on from my early post called 'Ugly Shoe Obsession'  BUT I am retracting my earlier statement of hate towards birkenstocks, cos I love them.

These were a fab £18.99 including postage, unlike the exact replica that Jeffrey Campbell do for about £1000, the platform works in my favour as I have little legs, and well... white is great.

SO I know the above OOTD formerly introduced you to these new babies, but here they are. Up close and personal. Teamed with my favourite skort from Primark (I KNOW) and a present from my babes Sarah, from some random company, the label says BDG but I don't know what that means, or where that's from.

So there you go, 2 OOTD's in 1, you lucky people.

Because I have so many un-written posts, I will probably be blogging most days for the next few weeks, including posts about my trip and a few OOTD's from when I was away, so don't worry. You will be seeing much more of me very soon 

PEACE

C U SOON

LUV N HUGS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dressing For The Flag

Maxi Dress - TK Maxx

Heels - Primark

Belt - No idea

Lip liner - Rimmel London

Lipstick - Mac 'Russian Red'

Earings - I want to say St Albans Market, but I can't actually remember

If you are wondering what 'OOTD' stands for, it means 'Outfit Of The Day' (just in case)
A little while ago I bought this cute maxi from TK Maxx and I think it's the perfect balance between daywear and nightwear, swapping in a pair of trainers and a fedora for big earings and a pair of heels. As the bottom of the dress is slit up the sides it can be easily tied up to make it 'beachy' and therefore casual, or left long and floaty, hence 'nightwear.'
And no.. I don't mean nightwear in the sense of what one wears to bed, because (just a guess here) but I don't know any 18 year olds who sleep in floor length dresses.

Don't actually have much to say about this, as its just a very simple outfit. Obviously featuring plaits, how else would I tame my hair and red lipstick just to bring it together. Ah...I am the colours of the British flag, how appropriate following their recent success in the world cup. 

As always, ta for reading, following, sharing

means a lot, be back soon!

xoxo

Skort Loving

Skort - Primark

Shoes - Primark

Grey Crop Top - Topshop

Black Cropped Off Shoulder Top - Boohoo

Necklace- eBay, you can get it here

White Scrunchie - DIY

Nail Polish - Chanel, don't know the number sorry

Lipstick - Mac 'Russian Red' in matte, I think its number 73

Coat - Vintage, was Dads years ago but I found it and told him I'm keeping it

Primark is seriously good right now! Minus they're overly tacky neon clothing and leather copies, but shoes wise and skirts / matching sets are pretty cool. worth having a look. Feel like I'm always apologising on this, but sorry for the boobage, bra's ain't ma thing.

So this is another outfit selection, it's definitely smart enough for dinner and with the right make up and hair actually done, possibly party. Seeing as I have an 18th tonight, I shall style it up and repost the results. The cut on this skort is much more suited to someone with (short and stubby) legs like mine as opposed to the geometric shaped one which suits long (lucky) legged girls, I think (hope) its flattering, and I love the pattern and colour, makes a change from wearing black bottoms. Also gives me an excuse to whip out the St. Moriz and look especially bronzed. I'm feeling these shorts could also be easily made casual with a long shirt or a baggy crop top and trainers, versatile, lovely.

I may start wearing these shoes all the time.. that's how much I love them, so expect many more blog posts including these, even if the post isn't relevant.

Never know how to end blog posts, I think I need a signature thing?

............................................... Ellie over and out
