Goodbye 2014

Knitted Cardigan - Primark

Fluffy Scarf and Headband - London Christmas Markets

T - H&m

Jeans - Topshop

Boots - La Moda

Hello lovelies readers,

I hope you all had a faab christmas! Cannot believe this is my last post of 2014, it has been an awesome year and I'd say my blogging has come on a lot since I started about 6 months ago. It still amazes me how many of you read my blog and I dedicate this fluffy post to you!! Obviously without you beautiful people, this would just be a site full of pictures of me... that only I look at. Which would be weird. Anyway, thanks you are all really gr8. I really appriciate it, you have given me a so much more confidence, especially in dressing how I want, and well just being sassy fulltime.

I was going to make a 'What to Wear' on NYE post, but I hardly dress up, and tonight I will be rocking a pair of jeans and trainers so I felt there was no point. Instead, lucky you, you got my casj look of the month!! I never understand why people get so aggro santos on NYE, I love it. But anyway, went a bit 'fancy' for this post and made my hair cute for you all, and if that doesn't show love I don't know what would! I even re-painted my nails so that I could have pretty hands. You can tell I thought they looked good because they creep into basically every picture. They even matched my headband. Fluff is great. I never usually buy hairbands like above because they don't go over my hair but this was a christmassy pres, so I will be personally working that updo. And the scarf, well it's soft so It won me over. You can never have enough faux fur.

Don't you find when you buy something new, or get given something new you literally wear that item non stop for about a month, that's what's been happening with this luuuuuuuuscious cardi (mum word). Primark knits do the job, and although they slyly keep trying to put up their prices, I will never stop buying them. Even when I'm old and rich and can afford that Acne Studio's sheepskin jacket. (For a mere 2 grand you could make me an extremely happy lady - link here) But for real, if you haven't been there recently, I seriously advise it. 

Anyway, I need to go get ready. Woo.

I wish you all a happy and healthy new years!!!!!

RETURN SOON

LOVE AND HUGS

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

Just a Baseball Hat and a Bit of Denim

Leggins - Topshop

Shirt - Vintage

Hat - Market

Denim Jacket - Motel Rocks Vintage Pop Up

Scrunchie - DIY - link tutorial click here

Sunglasses - Primark

Shoes - Creepers, Office

I am aware that I look like an American 'football' player on their day off, a very standard leggins and shirt sort of day. Not saying that footballers wear leggins, it's just the whole 'backwards hat vibe' going on.

I feel like I may never take this jacket off, it is the comfiest thing with the most strategically placed pockets for concealing ones hands, that are actually big enough to fit a phone, keys and purse in. So thats fab. It even fits perfectly over every single item of clothing I own, although not in the 'Joey in Chandlers' sense; from another jacket (double whammy) to one or two hoodies, not that I need them in this weather. Although if you've been to Herts Uni Library, it gets pretty chilly in there. Anyway I've gone completely off topic, I can never decide if I'm a 'leggin's' person or a tights person. but revision calls for elasticated waists (If you know what I mean) so these do me fine in my slouchy moments. Although I feel that 'fashion' is something one should always pride yourself on, it's just impossible to look good during exam season, stress affects skin, everyone is eating three times their body weight because its a fab way to procrastinate.. or procrastin-eat (ha) and we're all in that awkward in-between stage of when it's acceptable to whip your ever-so-pasty legs out for the general public.

Shoes-wise though, creepers are wonderful. Not necessarily a 'flattering' shoe.. but the platform does give me that cheeky extra inch and a half that brings me to the normal height of 5'5" (I'm lying, way closer to 5'4") But anyway, in a classic black suede they go with baaaaaaaasically everything, except brown but I don't own brown. These are the kind of shoe that I will keep in my cupboard and rediscover in 4 years and start wearing again. I am a major hoarder and I hate throwing anything away, but this is the kind of shoe that is so simple that they can't really be out of style so I don't feel any guilt in hoarding these. 

It probably isn't legit, but I've decided that having light eyes makes them more sensitive, hence why I am permanently wearing sunglasses or else I look like I'm screwfacing the camera, not a good look. These are what I like to call my "throwaway pair" originally bought for lovebox festival last year, they are brought out every time I'm going somewhere where they will probably be snapped in half. And for £1.50 I don't feel too distressed by that option.

Thanks for reading as always!

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?

'On Wednesdays We Wear Pink'

So, I finally got the courage up to do an actual clothes post, and I'm new to this so try not to judge me too harshly. Thought seeing as it is the 10 year anniversary of Mean Girls, I'd do an inspired post of a 'Pink Wednesday' sort of outfit.






And here goes..

Oh and apology in advance for the 'mirror selfie,' the auto focus on my camera wouldn't, well.. focus on self timer so this was the only option. My mirror has weird lines running through it, so I apologise for that too.

 

Top - h&m (very old)

Shirt - Primark 

Jeans - Can't actually remember but possibly also h&m, DIY ripped, click here for my tutorial post

Boots - Ebay, but this is the link for the person who sells them

Scrunchie - DIY

I have actually had four whole requests on a Scrunchie DIY tutorial, from real people!! So a post will follow soon, along with a 'How To' do french plaits on yourself as that has also been requested (fans x)

Happy Mean Girls Day!
