OOTD: WILD HEART

Jersey // Topshop (similar one here)

Disco Pants // Missguided

Converse // Schuh

Choker // Ebay

So, this weather is REALLY horrible ain't it? I'm not sure if a mesh t-shirt is the best idea in this weather, but hey ho, I like it. I got this t-shirt in the almighty Topshop sale (online) and I said I was going to save it for the summer but, as I saw it hanging in my wardrobe, it kept screaming "wearrrrr meeeeeeee!!!", so I did. But its been put away at the back of my wardrobe so I don't over wear it by the time summer comes around (I have a tendancy to do that). 

I've been loving choker recently and I found this little gem on ebay. Good ol' ebay.

OOTD: I AM ALICE, I'M IN WONDERLAND

Ello ello ello, okay so I know its been a while...ok maybe a bit more than a while but I'm back and ready to keep up with this blog and make 2014 KICK ASS. 2013 hasn't been the best of years to say the least, but i'm all about moving forward and living life with no regrets! So, I thought I'd start this year off with my personal fave, a good ol' outfit of the day.

Mesh Top // Primark

Skirt // Boohoo

Necklace // Topshop

Converse // Schuh

Jacket // New Look

so, sometimes I get in those moods where I just want to wear all black and other days I want to wear cute pastel colours, today I chose black. black is the new black after all, right? as I don't really like wearing completely all black I threw on this g o r g e jacket from new look to add a bit of colour. Anyone think of fresh prince of bel air when they look at this jacket? I've never been a huge bomber jacket fan BUT when I spotted this jacket I just grabbed it because how can I resist it? like really?

OOTD: how do you get up from an all time low?

ello ello ello, so over the past few weeks have been soo ill and you know when you just basically feel like death and you want to just lie down all the time, curl up in your bed with a hot drink and watch pretty much anything..well, i can't really do that during the week because of work (boo!), so i haven't had that time to fully get better but hey ho, i cant still walk and talk, so what am i really complaining about? so anyways, today i went to church and basically alot of people got a bit too excited that the sun was out. I saw waaaaay too many legs and toes out today and i was just feeling cold looking to them. 

Dungarees - Primark - £14// Jacket - random shop near my house *forgot the name* - £10//Shirt - Forever 21 - £14.95//Bow Tie - Claires - £4//Boots - Primark - £14//Socks - Topshop - £3.50

I'm really loving this whole dungarees/pinafore trend that's around at the moment. I bought these dungarees a few weeks ago and I do really love them, and I can't wait until I get that hot bod, so I can wear it with a crop top underneath.

OOTD: all i want is the taste that your lips allow

Hellooooo beauties, soo today i had to nip out quickly and as i started getting ready, it started snowing and i'm not someone to leave the house when it starts to snow/rain, unless i reeeeeeeally have to. But anyway, even though its not quite spring yet, i decided to whip out the pastel pink.

Bowtie - (was a headband) - Claires - *unknown price*

Shirt - Vintage a.k.a my mums old wardrobe - *unknown price*

Jeggings - Random shop in my area - £10

Boots - Primark - £15

3 years ago i would incorporate pink into pretty much every outfit, now i never wear it. obviously except for today. I really want summer to hurry its ass up and get here, (and not a horrible rainy summer that we get) I was going to wait until summer or at least spring to wear these jeggings but because i have numero uno patience, i decided to just wear them today to brighten up the streets of London. 

Monochrome is pretty much everywhere at the moment and i seriously love it. It's so boom boom pow in your face and i really love statement pieces. I remember when like everyone had those black and white striped leggings and i really wanted a pair, but finding some in my size was a myth. Now i've lost a bit of weight, i can get them alot easier, but there's one missing component...umm....whats it again?...oh yeah, money. 

thoughts on the outfit?? do you love pastel colours? monochrome?

what i did and wore today: dogtooth & love

Hola, bonjour, yo wassaaaap...hey, you beautiful people, so today i decided to go outside onto the giant ice-rink and go into town to get a few bits and bobs. I really am not someone to brave cold weather just to get a few things, but i also really needed to just walk about a bit and clear my cray cray head. 

i decided to buy a new nail varnish to add to my ever growing collection. I lurrrrve different shades of (grey) reds and purples. I love the way those colours look with my skin tone and its just super cute. 

I decided to get Barry M in 'Raspberry'. I apologize for my horrible nail painting. I'm a very messy nail painter and this picture was taken after i tried to clean it up a bit (oops) 

I reallyyyy love this colour and its a really cute 'wintery' colour. 

Striped shirt - once again that old chestnut, my mums old wardrobe

Dogtooth leggings - Ebay - £4.99 (£2.25 p&p)

Boots - Office - *unknown price*

Spiked necklace - Primark - £5

thoughts on the outfit? are you a messy nails now, tidy up around the edges and/or basically the whole finger later person?

OOTD: galaxy defenders, stay forever

Okay so this winter weather is really getting me down. I've been ill for the past few days *breaks out the violin* and i've been wondering whether i'm in London or Antarctica. Anywhoooo, I got these very tumblr-esque galaxy print leggings a while ago but they didn't fit before, but they do now (well they're still a bit of a cheeky squeeze). The way galaxy print is just all over the gaff, is just cray cray. I do love it though, because it just sucha weird print and 'weird' is my middle name. I ADORE layers, espesh in this weather, just layer me up baby! I love wearing jumpers and leggings. they are my 'safety outfit' and its just an easy outfit, that can be played up or down. I decided to add the denim shirt under and denim jacket over, just to Shek it up (geddit ;)...and yes, double denim is perfectly acceptable as long as you wear it right.

RIGHT

WRONG

SO SO WRONG

Anywayss, back to the outfit.

Denim Shirt - Vintage *unknown price*

Necklace - Primark - £5

Ring - Charity Shop - £1

Jumper - Vintage *unknown price*

Leggings - Primark £8

Boots - Primark - £15

Denim Jacket - Vintage *unknown price*

Earring - Vintage *unknown price*

I'd love to know your thoughts on the outfit

are you a polar bear and enjoy this weather?

OOTD. when you finally find what's beautiful, it's soo wonderful.

So, I've had a really good weekend with my friends. Went to Wagamama, and O M G, i really don't know what rock i've been hiding under, but it was the first time i'd been to Wagamama and it was uhh-maze-ing. Being with my friends make me so genuinely happy, so it was really good to get out :-)

FREE Green Tea

(two of my fave things in life. free things and green tea)

Polo Neck: thats old favourite..yupp, my mothers old wardrobe

Polo/Turtle necks are very in right now and I love them. I think they look so cute and chic. They can really make a statement and also keep your neck warn (win win). asos.com do a really cute one here in a black, dark red and white. and American Apparel do some black/navy and white striped ones here

Cardigan: Primark

I love a nice thick boyfriend cardi. (wishing it was my actual boyfriends cardi*cries into a tub of ben and jerry's whilst watching New Years Eve*) Perfect for this british weather and goes with alot of outfits.. Newlook do a similar one here and comes in dark red, navy blue, light link and grey

Shorts: Vin-tage (aka, my mums old jeans)

I wouldn't really recommend wearing denim shorts in this cold weather, but if you're like me, and sometimes just throw on clothes and then get outside and realise you're freezing your tits off, but you're already running late so you just embrace the cold, then wearing denim shorts in this weather is totally acceptable. Just make sure you're wearing some very high denier tights. Denim shorts are pretty much everywhere and are just super c-ute.

Belt: unknown

Necklace: Newlook

I've posted about this necklace before and they dont sell this one in newlook anymore, but they are everywhere and  these type of vintage-esque necklaces can really spice up your outfit. Especially if you're wearing plain colours. Also, collar tips, can add an extra spice to your outfit (obviously you need to be wearing something with a collar)

RingsAndTings.com have a really great selection of necklaces, collars and collar tips here

nothing plain about plaid.

i seriously need to learn to blog more....*slaps self across the face multiple times*

Soo, plaid has been 'in' for donkey years. to be honest, i dont think plaid will ever go out of fashion, because its soo versatile and I just friggin l o v e it.

Emma Watson wears this gorge plaid dress with a leather jacket

Brooklyn Decker looking hot and casual with a plaid shirt and jeans

Alexa Chung suiting it up with a plaid suit jacket and trousers

I went with the classic plaid shirt from a charity shop on brick lane,

Denim shorts from a little place i like to call 'my mums old wardrobe'

and a bow tie which used to be a hair bow from Claire's Accessories.

I love cute vintage pieces and 'Rokit' have a similar shirt here but because plaid is literally everywhere.

For denim short, once again, these are everywhere, but theres some really nice ones from daisystreet.co.uk here

For a bow tie, you don't have to actually buy a bow tie. You can just buy a hair bow and clip it unto your top. I actually find it more comfortable than having an actual bow tie around my neck. Beyond Retro have one here

OOTD :-)

Hellooooo beautiful people of the earth, sooooo heres an OOTD. i call it "i was rushing for college and i found these clothes in a pile of clothes in my room" 

(i wish i could tell you what im doing here)

"maybe i'll look like a model if i put my hand on my hip and pull a 'sexy' face"

moving swiftly on........

omg is that camel toe?...well this is slightly awkward...

moving on...AGAIN...

This 'Guns 'N' Roses' top is from Primark.

Now i could lie and tell you a price that i could try and remember OR i could show you some other tees like this one (i like option two personally) 

loudclothing.com have some official merch. This one is basically the same. and also this one from play.com which is in black.

The one is bought from primark is more like a vest (basically, theres no sleeves) and the material sort of sheer-ish, but if you get a normal t-shirt, you can just snip the sleeves off to create a different look. 

Chunky Cable Knit Cardigan - M&S 

(im not sure how much it was because i stole it from my dads wardrobe)

BUT

theres this one from M&S which i really like 

this one from very.com is super cute and with this britsih weather im sure you will be able to wear it during the summer lol

This cardi is oversized...(well its men's). i love me some oversize chunky cardi's. it just hides away all those bits and bobs.

(please try and take no notice of this land fill site i like to call a bedroom)

Im sure i've talked about these leggings before..hmm...

Maroon Cable knit Leggings: New Look - £10

White Plimsolls - School Shop 

(i've had those plimsolls since primary school, which was 7 years ago...yess, i've always been a big foot :(

im certain i've talked about these white plimsolls before, but you can get white plimsolls or trainers ANYWHERE....pretty much. 

River Island Asos Office Schuh to name a few.

sooo, i hope i mentioned everything and helped as much as a could :-)

OOTD :-)

helloooooooooooo sexay people, soo here's my first OOTD:

Denim Shirt: My mums wardrobe (that's not a shop, its literally from my mums wardrobe...but its mine now aha), but you can get denim shirts are pretty much ANYWHERE. I love vintage stuff, soo Beyond Retro is where you can get some reeeally amazing vintage clothes. So, they will have loads of denim shirts.

Maroon Leggings: Primark £3

Crucifix Ring: Topman (but i dont think they sell it anymore)...BUT they have this one from Topman and this one from Topshop. 

Bird Ring: Charity Shop, BUT again i love my vintage/vintage looking stuff. soo Rings and Tings have some amazing shizzle on there. This bird ring is quite similar.

This ring is also from a charity shop and i'm sure if you search high street shops or pretty much anywhere they will have similar rings

 Necklace: Newlook

i think they sell this anymore but Rings and Tings do one just like it: 

http://www.ringsandtings.com/collections/necklace/products/vintage-brooch-necklace

Cruxific Earring: again, my mums wardrobe, but crosses are very in right now and you can find them anywhere. Urban Outfitters do some really cute ones http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/invt/5761462451003/ but again, you'll find them in most high street shops and accessory shops. 

Feather Earring: £1 Primark

White Plimsolls: from a school shop, agessssssss ago. (i wore these when i was in primary school and well im 17 now....you do the maths)

White plimsolls are EVERYWHERE. These white Converse from Tower Boots are very cute, but you can literally get white plimsoll/converse/vans from anywhere.

soo thats my OOTD. hope you liked it, if not then...ohh well, life goes on.

byeeeee
