I'm back... Again

Hi guuuyyyss!

Sorry for my long departure. Again. 

The coursework deadlines hit me like a brick to the face and I have spent the last month in a mad studying frenzy... Half the time not even getting out of my jim jams hence a lack of outfit posts. Or posts at all for that matter. However, only two assignments left to go and the deadlines aren't till January. So the panic can buzz off for a few days.

To celebrate the end of term I had the bestie come to stay. We went for steak and drinks on Friday, followed by more drinks (fabulous cocktails) at this little place called Hakamou. If you're ever in Northampton, I strongly recommend a visit. The Hawaiian setting based underneath the shopping center is incredible, topped off with 80s tunes and a smokey atmosphere, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. Even more so when I tasted their Bear's Bollock, a mixture of coconut rum and fruit juices inside a frozen coconut. Check out my instagram for piccys.

Anywho. Here is what I wore for the night.

Tee and necklace - Topshop, Shorts - River Island, Bow - Brooch off River Island trousers, Earrings - Vintage.

Apologies for the weight gain. Not pretty. Stress eating has taken its toll and my shorts are considerably tighter. Going to attempt a good, healthy week before Christmas binging.

The gold eye make up is colour tattoo. I love this stuff. I find it glams up the most grungy of outfits and you can paint it on without much control and it still looks cool. Or at least I think it does. It is just a pain in the butt to get off again. Be prepared to scrub your eyes raw with make up remover to shift it.

I am now off back to bed to watch a good film, and as I am here all week on my lonesome for work, I will crack on with the last assignments later. All the stressing has given me a cold. Thank the lord for hot water bottles. 

If any of you lovely people have any good films to watch when you're ill then let me know. I am running out of ideas.

I must say it is nice to be back!

Love love love!

Happy Friday!

Hey guys!
So this has been a relatively good week, particularly yesterday. If you had seen yesterday's post you will know that I received my Galaxy Note that I upgraded to on Wednesday. As you could probably tell, it is taking me a while to get used to the size and keypad after 2 years with blackberry. This means that I have finally joined the world of instagram! Follow me when I have finally worked it all out and got it linked to this.

If any of you have any good apps that you'd recommend, let me know!

Shirt - Newlook, Top - H&M, Pleather trousers- Topshop, Bag - Ark, Boots - Jeffrey Campbell, Belt - Vintage, glasses - Red or Dead.

I thought I'd try the layering trend a little today, as I am not keen on either of these tops on their own, and actually, I love them together! I won't go into the trousers or boots again as you all know how much I love them!

Yesterday I had my hair bleached again. My roots were beyond a joke, and I wanted to dye it crazy colours again, however, now my hair is brittle like straw and was snapping as I was straightening it, I feel like this was one bleach too much! Any of you beauty bloggers got any solutions for me? Apart from "I told you so" as I've already heard enough of that!

Despite the bleaching, I did dye it minty green again today, and hallelujah! I got the mix right so it came out pastelly finally! It doesn't show up too well here though :(

Tonight I am off to the boyf's house, then I have absolutely nothing planned for the rest of the weekend. Sadface. Do any of you have anything nice planned? 

Ciao ciao for now!

Leopard and leather...

So today I woke up really late again. (I'm nocturnal) We then had a BBQ in this lovely weather, where I ended up eating not very much, for some reason, I suspect my nicotine patches are to blame, I cannot eat very much, if anything at the moment, consequently, I have lost half a stone this week, Hoorah!
Anywho, this is what I wore!

Tee and pleather leggings - Topshop, Glasses - Primark, Cardigan - Vintage, Creepers - Pasha, Necklace - Delilah Dust.

I know you've all seen these trousers and this shirt before, but I love them so nerrrr. 

This cardigan was actually my mum's. When I was little I used to hate my mum's oversized wardrobe, however, since it has been left to me, I have found that there are a few things that I love, this being one of them.

Tonight I am watching Mamma Mia and working my way down a bottle of Shnapps, what are you all up to with the rest of your weekend? Emjoying the lovely weather?

Oh, and btw, congrats to moi, Today is my 6th day smoke free! Wahhoooo!

Sun... Finally!

HOORAAAYYY!!!!
The sun has finally reached England. And I don't just mean just measley, lukewarm sun, I mean boiling hot, outside in a bikini type of sun. Which is exactly what I did with the first part of my day. As I spent my last couple of weeks at Uni tanning, I only need a couple of minutes in the sun to top it up, so I took my brew, my book, a towel and my deathsticks out and lazed away in the sun for an hour.
Those of you that know me, know that I am pretty narrow minded when it comes to books. I generally only read stories of rich people with issues, as I like to think that their lives may be great with nice houses and designer clothes and lush cars, but they still have problems, generally that which are far worse than our own. To me it is the perfect form of escape, and normally I won't pick up a book unless it is by Tasmina Perry, Rebecca Chance or Jackie Collins. This time however, (perhaps due to the fact that Asda didn't have any of those) I chose to broaden my horizons and read something different, so I picked up a book about passion and murder, called Complicit by Nicci French, and although I am only one way through it, I must say it is utter rubbish!!!
Still, I shall battle on through, I am obsessive about finishing off a book once I have started, and hope to god that it gets a bit better.

I then took my motivated butt off to the gym to majorly work out, which made me feel a bit better about myself, and I feel like although I really have done nothing, I have really achieved something with my day haha!
I then decided, that as the sun was out, that I would do an outfit post for you while I went for a little walk up the beach with my dad. (Aww.)

Dress - Ark, Shirt - River Island, Studded Sandals - River Island, Bag - Vintage, Earrings - Vintage, Leather bracelets - Topshop, Charm Bracelet- Pandora, Skull bracelets - Spun Out, Spike Ring - Miss Selfridge, Gold Bangle - Flea Market.

So I know that you have all seen this dress before, but I love it. Therefore I don't care! Haha. Plus, I thought it went well with my denim shirt tied around it and my lovely studded sandals. If you have been reading my blog for a while you will know that these sandals previously grew feet of their own and walked off. However, since I returned from uni, I found them in an old shoe box in one of my wardrobes.

The straw bag was my mum's. It has seen better days, it fraying slightly and falling apart, but I think that just adds to it's charm, not to mention it's sentimental value. 

You have seen all these bracelets before, except the big gold bangle, which I bought when I was on a cruise 4 years ago. I bought it on a flea market (I love them!) but I cannot actually remember what country we were in as we visited so many.

I am also extremely pleased to announce that I have finally bought myself some new jewellery, which I shall post in a haul post when it arrives. I am so excited! (My life is a little dull right now and I don't often buy jewellery!) 

So what have you all been up to on this lovely Saturday? Are you up to much tomorrow?

Ciao Ciao for now!

Long lazy days.

Hi guys, sorry for my blogging absence for the last few days, I have no excuse other than I haven't really done enough to get dressed, except for yesterday, when I went out for dinner. However, due to the fact that I now have a stomach bug on top of this cold, so I haven't felt my best, and have now featured all my fat clothes! Time to go shopping!
I got dressed today for 2 reasons, one so I could finally do a blog post, the other to walk to Tesco for teabags and a magazine. Living life in the fast lane right?!
So anyway. This is what I wore.

Faux fur coat, playsuit and top - River Island, Belt - Vintage, Socks - Topshop, Creepers - Pasha.

I bought this coat 2 years ago and this playsuit over a year ago. I was bought the top by the boyf as one of my lovely birthday presents.
I thought the coat would be a great idea as it has a huge hood on it, I thought it would be warm and cosy, however, in bad weather it is so big it just falls down either over my face or backwards, so it actually doesn't help!

On another note I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has read/followed/commented this week. I've not been feeling too positive about things, having nothing to do and no job for the first time in 6 years, so my blog has been my main focus, and knowing that people actually read it makes me feel 100 times better, so a massive thank you!

What are all of you up to this evening? I'm intending to catch up on blogs and find some new ones, (leave me links!) paint my nails as the funky silver has finally started to chip. It lasted a while though! Unlike my hair, which as you can see is all but gone now! Gonna buy more dye tomorrow, I'm thinking of doing lilac with blue dip-dye, so if any of you beauty bloggers have any tips on how to make it last longer and how to dip-dye myself, please let me know!

Anyway, that's enough rambling for one night!

Have a good evening my lovers!
