heya, so I have FINALLY got round to taking photos of an ootd *cheering*, and this amazing weather makes it so much easier. I am wearing this beautiful maxi skirt I found in my local charity shop for £3.50 BARGIN! Its originally from monsoon, so as you can imagine its good quality. It is however a size 12, so I was planning on taking it in, although with a belt it doesn't really matter as it comes up quite small anyways plus the pattern is just so perfect for this sunny weather. I teamed the skirt with my monki crop top (that I brought for a festival last year and didn't think I would find another new use for) I'm actually wearing it the wrong way round as it went with the outfit better like that. I love love love cat eye sunglasses and these were a christmas present last year that I saw on polyvore (if you follow me you'll be able to find the link). One of my obsessions at the moment is indian/ethnical kinda jewellery (not sure how to explain) so I was overwhelmed when I went into New Look after work and saw these beautiful earrings in the sale for an amazing £3!!! I also spotted the gold leaf necklace, that had 50% off so was around £4.50 and couldn't resist. However, after wearing it the rest of the same day some of the hooks have already came off, so its basically falling apart, so I'm deffo going to be taking that back!! 1 day! pffft. So anyways I will hopefully be trying to make my blog more constant, as I finish school this week forever AHH scary stuff. My new memory card also came for my camera so a YouTube video is on the way. Goodbye for now. 

What do you think of the outfit ? Link me your summer looks !!

Heya guys, so recently I've been feeling my blog is a tad on the boring side (don't all agree at once jeez.. ;) but yeah this could be for many reasons, being terrible at writing , no time, very un-photogenic .., not owning photoshop.. the list goes on... soo I think its time for a makeover and abit of a re-vamp! However I don't think I'm ready to fork out £40 for a new layout.. does anyone know any good websites for free blog layouts?? Please? aha 

 Anyways back to the outfit! I found this amazing skirt and jacket combo in a local charity shop recently for around £7 and although it was a mahossive size I felt I couldn't part with the beautiful fabric. So I decided to do some altering! I brought the waist of the skirt in quite a fair deal and shortened it, I then used the excess material to create a matching crop top (shall maybe do another outfit showing the crop top?) The crop top I am wearing is from River Island and cost £8, I believe. I was planning to get it in white aswell but I must say tight white necklines and foundation and me don't go well together ! The shoes are from New Look and cost about £26 with a student discount (never knew new look did student discount so this made me extremely happy). For there hight, they easy to walk in,very comfortable and the perfect summer shoe. 

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Heya guys, Happy Halloween ! better late than never! So here is a quick blog post about what I have been doing/wearing ect ect.. I have just got back from babysitting so am v v tiered so I'm sorry in advance if none of this makes sense aha Anyhow this is an outfit post I wore to Cambridge on tuesday. I got the monochrome dress when i was shopping in London a while ago and just thought it was an absolute bargain at £12.99 like whut?? They only had it in an XS though and although it fits it is rather tight around the neck which can get rather annoying. The top I made myself ages ago which i was planning to make a matching skirt with (I have the material and already have places a waistband in it) I just need to find some time to get round to it. Now for the pumpkin! When I first cut out the pieces I thought it wasn't going to look a thing like Walter White/Heisenberg (From the series Breaking Bad if you don't know what I'm on about) but then I put a tea light inside and BAM wolaaa it looks great! I was so so pleased with it deffo upped my game for next year! I was In London on Halloween looking at the 'Facing the modern: The portrait in Vienna' exaction at the Royal Academy and looking round the university Camberwell so felt pretty worn out by the end of the day so just went to sleep! boring boring aha I did however buy some lovaaay stuff from the shop Monki in London. I have been dying to visit it for a while now and always buy stuff from them online so thought it would be great to actually have the chance to try things on in store. As i imagined i would i ended up spending loads of money.. but how can you blame me when everything so god damn amazing and reasonably priced?? I might end up doing my first ever haul video scary stuff on youtube soon, would anyone be interested in watching it? Thanks !! 

What kind of Pumpkins did you guys make ?

Just a quick ootd here as I have been so so busy with work and things.. Seems a week off just isnt enough! ohh well! I have been meaning to do an outfit post with this beautiful jumpsuit on for a while now so duh daaaa! I got it in the River Island sale last season (I think) for only £15 or something which I thought was pretty decent for a jumpsuit! The monochrome flower design stands out quite alot so it's defiantly a statement piece for any wardrobe. I had to team it with a pink fluffy jumper since its oh so cold but I think it works really well. I also was able to team my new loafers into yet another outfit (obsession has clearly already started) this time with a cute pair of frilly topshop socks. So much monochrome!! I am now off to do some more work oh the joys of being in education ! bye for now xxx

Heya guys, now I know I promised more outfit posts so here we are! This is the lovely warm coat I brought recently from Topshop which I love love love! Its a perfect coat for winter as its very warm, believe me i've been testing it out over these freezing few days. It also has an adjustable fur collar so if you feel you'd prefer an all black coat look (is that a thing?) then you can easily remove it. The pockets on the coat are also mahosive as I managed to fit all my pencils in one and a rather large purse Mary Poppins? which was very handy. The cigarette trousers are something I have been trying to get hold of for a while ever since seeing them on someones lookbook that I used for my textiles coursework. Blue Blue Electric Blue..  I managed to find quite a few pairs on Ebay occasionally but didnt really fancy paying face value being the bargain hunter I am so I decided to wait fo

r a while and BAM here they are at £11 and like a fiver p&p :D Now to the shoes.. I have been dying for some loafers for a while now as I have this image of myself in some black loafers and black skinnys with tartan socks which I cant really explain but yeah bring on the blog post! aha I found these beauties in the River Island sale for £20 instead of £45 so I brought them horaay I know own a pair of loafers!
