Feeling Sheepish






Wool Turban - Urban Outfitters 
T-Shirt - Topshop
Skirt - H&M
Knee High Socks - Primark 
Coat - My Grandma
Rings (left to right) - H&M, Topman, Topshop 

Sorry for my absence again! School has officially taken over my life! This will just be a quick post I'm afraid as I'm having kind of a bloggers block (like writers block). So I'm going to start by saying just how in love I am with this sheepskin coat that my Grandma kindly gave to me this week! It has been lying around her house for God knows how long so she just randomly gave it to me! It is so unbelievably warm, which is great considering the English weather at the moment. The t-shirt was £22 from Topshop and is something I have wanted for a while. I have always wanted one of the black ones with a leopard print cross on from Urban Outfitters but everybody has one of those now, so I thought I'd go for this instead. The turban I got on sale in Urban Outfitters for £4.50 which is an absolute bargain considering it was £16 originally! Technically it was on sale for £5 but I get 10% off with my student discount. Bargain Betty strikes again! 
Anyway, I promise not to hold back on the blogging now, or atleast I'll try. I've had a small amount of motivation recently so I'm hoping I will start blogging more. 
Hope everyone had a good half term!

My Week In Pictures 2

 So, this is my Primark purse, transformed.


 My life is a general mess

My 2 loves. My best friend and my shoes.

So this is this week's week in pictures :) I'm afraid it wasn't a very productive week as I have spent the majority of the week sat with a cup of LemSip and a duvet as I have the flu! Which is also the reason behind the lack of outfit posts this week. They require far too much movement I'm afraid. 
Any questions about the above just leave me a comment :) 




The Versatile Blog Award!


Oh my gosh guys! I am so excited! This is the second time I have won this award (the first time was 2 days ago so I'm just doing 1 post for both). I am so unbelievably thankful to Bethany from Keep Moving Forward and Nicole from The Gloss Over . If you haven't seen their blogs yet you need to do it ASAP! I cant believe people are acknowledging my blog but I am so thankful for it. 

So here are the 10 people I would like to pass this award onto :) 

1. My stunning cousin Lydia at Lydia Elise Millen 
2. Vicky at #GollyGosh 
3. Victoria at Victoria's Vintage

2. I am hoping to be a fashion journalist in the near future
3. I could easily live off pasta, pizza and millionaire shortbread for the rest of my life. In fact now I'm hungry just thinking about it. I'm so healthy

5. My best friend is like my sister. 
6. Overall, I have 3 step sisters and 4 step brothers from both my mum and dad

Lusts


My birthday's in May. Just saying people


I Hear That You Like The Bad Girls Honey



T-Shirt - Stolen off a friend (but originally New York)
Cycling Shorts (not seen) - Mums
Pleather Jacket - Primark
Socks - Primark 
Cross Earings - Urban Outfitters 
Silver Ring Set - H&M
Dragon Ring - TopShop
Watch - South African Market

So, as is the trend with me, I'm going to start off with an apology for the lack of blogging lately, and once again give my pathetic excuse of obscene amounts of school work. Gosh, I can't wait for May, then I can finally be 18 and have my exams over and done with! Well, moving on, this is basically what I wore to school yesterday. It's a little different from what people usually wear to my 6th form (there's no uniform so people tend to wear jeans or something, not that there's anything wrong with that!) so I was a little anxious to wear it. But it was generally well received! Except for one or two comments about the length of the outfit. I actually wore a black skirt with it to school, instead of the short, so that I could change the length if I needed to, and a certain person (who is probably reading this) decided to change it for me and make me look like a nun! Haha well in my opinion anyway!. So I absolutely love this outfit, it's possibly one of my new favourites to wear out. It was inspired by the Rihanna video for We Found Love as there's a section where she's throwing darts in a statement T and her underwear. I thought it was cute, so I decided to make it wearable in the day! Oh and I have some exciting news! My blog had just been nominated for The Versatile Blogger Award! I was nominated by Nicole from The Gloss Over and you can check out my nomination here.  Anyway, I hope everyone is ok! Leave me a comment if you want to ask me anything or just for anything in general :) I love reading them! 
Until next time guys!

You Like Your Girls Insane


 Shirt - Primark 
Skirt - Primark 
Belt - Vintage Gucci 
Necklace - TopShop 
Coat - Charity Shop 
Cross Ring - Topman 
Arty Ring - YSL

So, this is actually an outfit I wore to school this week but didn't have time to post due to the large amounts of work I have to get through, as per usual. I guess I will look back on these posts later in life and realize that all the work I'm doing was for my own benefit, even if it did effect my blogging in the process. So, obviously because this is a school outfit I didn't do my usual fully sheer style with this shirt but if I wore it out shopping or something, I'd probably whip the bralet out again. So here I've just added a black vest underneath to protect my dignity a little. I'm going through a stage of changing one colour on one of my nails, lord only knows why, but I felt these colours reflected the English climate at the moment: slightly dull with little colour. I'm hoping to do another week in pictures post later in the week as I have been taking pictures especially for it. Anyway, I hope everyone is having a decent week, despite the cold (unless it's not cold where you are, in which case you are very lucky!).
