Feeling Blue

 

Shirt-ASOS//Jumper-ASOS//Jeans - H&M//Collar Clips - ASOS// Ring - Accessorize// Creepers - T.U.K (Sarenza)

At the weekend I had a photoshoot I needed to do for uni and so my dad bought me my own professional camera, so this is first blog post using it, exciting!

I have today and tomorrow off from uni, so tonight and I am going to stay at the University of Kent with one of my best friends for Carnage which I am pretty excited to do and then we're going to eat away the hangovers the next day at Wagamamas!

So this is what I'm wearing today -

I got my collar clips for christmas so I am afraid they no longer have them on ASOS.

My blue jeans were a complete bargain at £14.99 from H&M and they make a nice change to boring black and I love them with the shirt.

I wore the creepers because the pink detailing on them matches my pink dip dye and my pink nails :)

I did my first dip dying at home this morning (as you can see it's nice and bright again!) where I got my mum to do it as I always go to the hairdressers but really needed it topping up and my mum bought the dye for me the other day. So I am going to do a step by step tutorial for anyone who is interested, which will be up on Thursday - I hope it's helpful!

Tres Cool

Jumper - H&M//Dress - Dorothy Perkins//Flatforms - ASOS//Tights - ASOS//Ring - Stall in Marbellaa

I love midi dresses/skirts at the moments and can't get enough of this dress from Dorothy Perkins which I have showed you recently and is a replica of the Topshop one but £10 cheaper.

I've had this jumper from H&M since September but I haven't really worn it that much and I think this is the first time it has made an appearance on the blog. I wore it today as it was a bit chilly and I thought I would put it over my dress just to get another look from it and I really love that it gives my outfit some colour although maybe I should have worn it before I had my hair dyed dark pink!  I got it at the time jumpers with slogans on were "big" and it reads 'Tres Cool'. I teamed it all with my flatforms (which I have been wearing to death)

I love the tights because although they are black, with the detail down the side they aren't just boring thick black tights.

I go to Marbella in Spain every year on holiday with my family and I picked up my ring on a cute little jewellery stall. Love it.

All of this was finished off with my lovely black lipstick which is by Miss Sporty and was about £2.35. I never buy cheap make-up - everything I have is either Benefit, MAC or Bobby Brown but I wanted to try it out to see whether I'd like it and didn't want to pay £13 for a MAC one just incase, although now I know I can. This Miss Sporty one is great for the price although it does tend to 'bleed' so I'm thinking of lining my lips with black eyeliner first.

Hope you like!

LFW Day 4 - Mollie King and Millie Mackintosh

#

Hat - H&M// Scarf (around hat) - Age of Reason// Coat - ASOS// Top - River Island// Skirt - Dorothy Perkins// Dr Martens - Office// Bag - Marc Jacobs//Tights - ASOS

Unfortunately it's back to reality tomorrow as I have Uni.
I was unable to attend London Fashion Week yesterday as I had to work and then when I found out I had the day off of Uni today I knew I was going straight back up to London! So I have managed to do 3 out of the 4 days so far!
I was hanging round Somerset House getting papped every 5 seconds, all part of the fun I suppose! Then I spotted my favourite Made in Chelsea babe Millie Mackintosh again and asked for a photo this time!
I managed to get into the Mark Fast show today which was amazing - I couldn't believe it!

 I couldn't believe it even more when I saw Nicola Roberts, Kanye West and Mollie King from the Saturdays on the front row!! As soon as the show was over I ran straight over to Mollie and asked for a photo - if you don't ask you don't get and voila! ;) I am a massive fan of The Saturdays and Mollie being my fave I was in my element and got a little bit star struck haha.

It's All Pink To Me

Dress - ASOS// Tights - House of Holland for PP (exclusive to ASOS in pink)// Jumper - ASOS// Dr Martens - Office

Putting my new ASOS cross knitted jumper to use again. I love how it looks layered over this shift dress and it definitely improves the outfit as a whole.
The shift dress I've had for a couple of months now and they still have it on ASOS for £14.
The tights are actually teamed with the dress on the ASOS website which is what made me initially want them so I could team them together.
I was debating on whether to wear my creepers or my Dr Martens with this outfit and Dr Martens it was, purely because I hadn't worn them for a while and because I love wearing them with dresses.
My hair is just up in a messy bun and I've used a bun ring (sorry that you can see my conch bar sticking out of my ear)
I had to get my pug Albert in a picture as he hasn't been featured for a while.

Hope you all have a lovely Valentines day!

It's All About The Midi

Dress - Dorothy Perkins// Tights - House of Holland for PP (exclusive to ASOS)// Earrings - ASOS// Flatforms - ASOS// Jumper - ASOS// Ring - Topshop

I went to Nandos last night with my friends as some of them had come home from university and I only went for the first time in September and for someone who isn't a meat fan at all and I only really eat chicken I quite liked it. Although I only go for lemon and herb and even that is a bit spicy!

So this is what I wore -
If someone had told me a year or so ago that I would wear a dress past my knee I would never have believed them. It was always about the mini for me through my teens up until about 17ish when I wore my first maxi dress and since then I actually love the longer length as it gives a whole new look.
This Midi Dress I wanted from Topshop but when I saw it was £29 it out me off. I then saw on the Dixi clothing blog that Dorothy Perkins had pretty much the same thing for £10 less and the added bonus of 25% off for students. I hurried over there quickly and found this beauty for £19.50 (£14.60 with discount) in navy or grey and I picked the navy (although it almost looks grey). I also managed to pick up a pleated midi skirt for £5 with only an £8 left so of course I bought that as well, no doubt I will blog about it soon.
Earrings - I'd been after some cross earrings for a while so I got these on ASOS for £6 as they were the right size I was after.
Jumper - I saw this Knitted Jumper on the blog 'Olivia on a mission' she mentioned it was from ASOS so I looked on there and it was £20 from £50 in the sale and they had every size and still do - mine is an XS. I just put this jumper on so I didn't have to wear a coat out as I feel they can sometimes ruin outfits. Although, I wish I had put one on because I froze! It's definitely one of those pieces that can be layered over anything.
Tights - As you all know I've been a bit obsessed with tights recently and I now own 5 pairs of House of Holland for PP tights and this is one of them. They were £12 exclusive to ASOS but I got these when they were doing 25% student discount.
Flatforms - I know I blogged about my lovely new shoes when they arrived on Friday but I couldn't help myself but to wear them when I could so here they are again. £25 ASOS.

I hope you've all had a good weekend so far.

Flatforms

Top - Topshop// Jeans - ASOS// Ring - ASOS// Flatforms - ASOS// Nail Polish - OPI 'Do You Lilac It?'// Models Own Nail Art Pen - ASOS

I've possibly had one of the worst days today but I am so glad it's Friday!
This is what I wore today...
I got my top in the Topshop sale for £25 from £55 and they only had an 8 left so I told myself it was fate. I love velvet, pretty collars and crosses so this top was perfect.
My jeans are plum coated cigarette jeans which almost look like leather. I'd been after a pair of trousers like this for a while and I nabbed these in the sale for £16.
Last but not least are my new velvet flatforms, after seeing these on ASOS I couldn't believe that they were only £25 which I got student discount off as well and I love them, I know they aren't everybodys cup of tea but they're super comfortable. Sadly, I should have got a 3 as they slip a little bit when I walk I've been noticing this a lot recently so maybe I should just start buying a size 3.
After seeing lots of people having beautiful nails on their blogs it made me want to buy a nail art pen so I did. It was £6 from ASOS and as you can see above I attempted polka dots. (not very well none the less) Hopefully I will get a bit more artistic with it.

What do you think of flatforms?

Jeepers Creepers

Jumper - Therapy at House of Fraser// Leggings - eBay// Creepers - T.U.K (Sarenza)// Socks - ASOS//Skull Ring - Topshop// Other Ring - Disney Couture

In this outfit I am definitely rocking three of my favourite things - Creepers, Baroque print and black lipstick.
I have a really big thing about lipstick and I feel naked without it because to me it finishes off my outfit. I only usually wear black lipstick with something quite bright and very subtle make-up, and although this outfit is quite dark I feel that it goes quite nicely with it as my hairs lilac and I have the pink on my leggings and Creepers. I would never have thought I would ever wear black lipstick but I feel my style has changed and I know a lot of people wouldn't feel brave enough to wear it - if you are one of those people and you want to give it a try just go for it! I do tend to get a few looks when I wear it because I have lilac hair as well but it's not something that tends to bother me.
Next are my new babies - my creepers! I got them from Sarenza for £37.50 in the sale which was a complete bargain as creepers are at least £70. They only had a 4 or 5 left in stock so with me being a size 3/4 I was in luck! They are a tiny bit big for me so I have to do them up very tightly and I bought the black socks to wear with them as they feel them out a bit more and give them a girly edge while keeping my feet warmer. I have been after a pair of creepers for so long and these didn't disappoint - I know they have a grungy/gothy stereotype with them but I couldn't care and I love them none the less. Unfortunately for you guys they are no longer on the website.
Then there are the leggings which I got on eBay brand new for £6.99 (with delivery £1.99 on top - £8.98) . I bought them on Monday night and they arrived yesterday so they took less than 24 hours to come so I was very impressed with that. The print is so on trend and for that price you can't really go wrong. They also do them in blue, red and teal but with pink being my favourite colour I picked these ones. They do pretty much the same pair on Missguided for £10 excluding delivery so save your money and go to eBay as they'll definitely come quicker and they are cheaper including delivery.

What do you think about dark lipstick and are you also loving my new buys as much as I am?

Snow Chic

Coat - Topshop, Jumper - Topshop, Hat - Topshop, Jeans - River Island

So I thought I'd make use of the snow and show off my new Topshop buys. I know there is some mismatch with the colourings here but I find that when it's freezing and snow is on the ground colour coordination has to be pushed to the side for maximum warmth.
I have so many coats but not one that actually is a sensible colour, this navy one is as close as it gets to a colour that can be worn with most things. I think I need to invest in a black one for next winter.

My lovely Purple Cossack arrived yesterday and is only £7 from £22 in the Topshop sale, they still have some in stock so get on there quick!

I've actually had this jumper for a couple of weeks now but today is the first time I've worn it. I purchased it purposely to wear with these heart print jeans as I think the mint and the white go well together and the fact the hearts on the jeans are black it also matches the black 'O' on the jumper. As you all know I love pastel colours so this jumper was a must have and I would have bought it without needing something to wear with these jeans it just gave me a perfect excuse.

This jumper also from Topshop I think is gorgeous and I love the colour, but as they are quite similar and I've put myself on a clothing ban as of today I guess I better not buy it.

Although you can't really see it and my close up picture wouldn't upload for some strange reason I am wearing my MAC lipstick in 'Eloquent air' from their limited edition range 'Glitter and Ice' it is a gorgeous thick lipstick and it lasts for a long time without needing to be topped up. I've been told I look like an ice queen with this on and my lilac hair but I love it because it's so different from the usual pinks and reds that people wear.
