New Blog

So 1 year later I have finally decided to turn back to the blogging world, though admittedly not through my own choice... Since I last posted I have started uni! I am in my first year at UCA Epsom studying Fashion Journalism, which I am totally loving (I would TOTALLY recommend this uni if you're wanting to study this course). I'll quickly say I was accepted into London College of Fashion but REFUSED to go as it was just too awful. Everyone was very stuck up and I felt really uneasy walking around the campus as it kind of feels like a hospital, but that could just be me. 

Anyway, my course leader has suggested that we all start up out own blogs and due to my new life at uni I have decided to start a new blog. I will still do the occasional OOTD but I'm hoping to mainly focus on fashion news, trends and culture - though a bit more chilled out and relaxed than I'm making it seem. If you'd like to check out my new blog click here (: 

Checking out for the last time!

Shirt - Zara 

Vest - M&S 

Leggings - New Look 

Jacket - Topshop 

Bag - Zara 

Necklace - River Island 

Again, a fairly boring OOTD today I'm afraid. School doesn't exactly bring out the Anna Wintour in me. Any way, this outfit was surprisingly warm, considering I was hardly wearing thick layers, so I am giving this jacket an A* for warmth! My friend Hannah said to me today that if something has studs on it, I'm probably wearing it. It's sad how true that is really. It's becoming a borderline obsession! I have explained in a previous post that this shirt from Zara is NOT friendly for top heavy girls! This is a size large, and the button over my chest still popped off after I exhaled too deeply! So I now have to wear a vest underneath whenever I wear this shirt, just to attempt to keep some of my dignity. Just to add, the camera seems to be very forgiving here and has given me a much larger bust than I actually have, not that I'm complaining, they look practically fake here! 

Anywho, I hope to do another post tomorrow! Night everyone! 

Let's Get Festive

So here are just a few pictures from my life over the past few weeks (: 

If you have any questions about any of them, just leave me a comment, I try to reply whenever I get the chance! 

Also, a few people have been asking what dye I used to dye my hair, so I added a picture of the box and the dye itself at the bottom just in case anyone was interested. 

Hope y'all enjoy! 

Sparkle Sparkle

So, seeing as I am trying to keep to my promise of a post everyday before the new year, here is a super short post on my current favourite nail polish. Now, I am by no means a beauty blogger but I felt this nail polish deserved some recognition. I'm not big on the whole 'sparkle nail' trend but I just had to have this one from Barry M. I don't really like the sparkle polishes with just 1 colour as I find it too dull, however this one is a little bit of everything! It's called Amethyst Glitter and I cannot explain how much I love it. The 1 nail you can see in the picture with it on only took 2 coats! That's basically unheard of for a polish like this! Anyway, I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for something different this holiday season, especially at only £2.99! Total steal! 

 Hope you're all having a good December so far!

Happy holidays every one! 

I can officially not be condemned for being excited about Christmas, which I freaking am! Sorry for the lack of posts recently but I've had a lot on my plate, so I'm hoping to do a post each day until the new year to make up for it. But please don't hold your breath on that, I'm sure you all realise by now that I find it hard to blog regularly.

Anywho, today I just had to run some errands and get some work done, so the outfit is more about comfort and warmth rather than actual style I'm afraid. The jumper is super cosy and warm so it's so appropriate for the shitty English weather at the moment. I must warn you though, if you are looking into buying this jumper you should know that the studs are sewn on and look pretty flimsy, I'm being really careful with it as it looks like they could fall off at any moment, though so far so good. 

I finally have a new jacket! The old one finally died, after 2 years, which is pretty damn good considering that it cost me £6. Good ol' Primark. Anyway this jacket was reduced online to £50 from £75 so I snatched it while I could. The studs are all pyramid studs and they are also all along the collar but you can't see it here.

As you can see I have migrated to my bathroom to take OOTDs now as the lighting in my room has officially become too dark to take pictures in, so I shall be using my bathroom until I can find better lighting. I'm off to South Africa in just over a week so hopefully I can get some pretty decent pictures then. 

Just one last quick thing, the shoes and bag were both an early Christmas gift from my Grandma (thank you!) and I am so unbelievably in love with them. They were both around £25 from Zara online and I was so surprised at how quickly they were delivered, well done Zara, keep up the good work. 

Hope you're all excited for the holidays! 

Pink & Green

 

Crop Top - Topshop 

Skirt - Oasis 

Necklaces (from shortest to longest) - Asian Markets, Present from a friend, Dorothy Perkins, Accessorize 

So this is actually something I wore out Saturday night, however I was in no fit state to be taking pictures, or at least good pictures (I'm known to put my finger over the lens if alcohol is involved). I lovee this top, though I do need to work on flattening my stomach before I experiment  anymore with it! So until then, A-line skirts all the way! This skirt was bought for me as a 'Welcome home from South Africa' present from one of my best friends. Admittedly it was on sale for £10 and she works there so she got it for £6 but I was still touched by the thought! And I love the fact that it's pleated! There are so many leather look skirts going around at the minute that aren't actually pleated and it doesn't half get on my nerves (no offense to anyone out there who likes them). 

Anyway, that's all folks! 

Listen Well Will You Marry Me

Shirt - Stolen off my boyfriend
Vest - H&M/my best mate's closet
Shorts (not seen) - Topshop

So almost all of this outfit has been nicked off of other people, but oh well that's what you do when you're  as broke as me I guess!
Admittedly I did wear a coat over this as England isn't the warmest of places at the moment, but the coat didn't go so I decided not to show it.
Anywho, I have a set of English work with my name on it (literally) so I must run. Promise to do another post soon!

TTFN!
