Blow me one last kiss...

It's been another busy week for me this week! Lectures and work, my first open mic night at work (a reasonable success I must say!) and last night was spent at the boyf's. I helped him out with doing a months worth of shopping, so he thanked by cooking me steak and egg with alphabites. One of my favourites, best boyfriend ever!

Anyway. In among all the madness I have managed to get in a few snaps of what I wore to work on Tuesday, bit late so I am sorry!

Shirt and Longsleeved tee - H&M, Shorts - River Island, Boots - Melody, Cross earrings, peace necklace, skull and frog ring - Topshop.

As it it Thursday night, my weekend starts here, and I am beginning it trying not to cry at Hollyoaks then a night full of coursework!

The fun begins tomorrow as I have been invited to the 25th anniversary party for Jeffery West in recognition of my placement! Bit nervous to go alone though, I don't know what industry events are like! Any bloggers got any advice?

All exciting!

Hope you are all alright! 

Love love love!

Halloween and other reasons for my absence...

So I know it's pretty late to post the obligatory halloween pics, but I have been a busy lady!
Coursework is mental, working at the pub rather alot as well as trying to set up an open mic night as an event, (hopefully next Tuesday from 8 ish if any of you wanna pop down, spectators and performers alike, bring your own instruments)
Not to mention my rejoining of the gym, looking for placements, going to lectures and still finding time for a social life and sleep!
So I apologise for being rubbish, Hopefully when I get used to all these crazy days I will be blogging regularly again.
This is what I wore to Halloween at NBs!

Tee - Topshop, Shorts - River Island, Tights - Henry holland, Boots - Melody

I thought this year as I had so much bone stuff to make up a skeleton that I would not bother with a costume and just wear it all. (Also felt pretty cool wearing Topshop for Halloween HA!)

I decided to give blood red hair a go too, and the amount of compliments it has received since, I am thinking of keeping it!

The gorgeous girl next to me is Andi, the bezzer who lives next door, whose cool costume made up 1 seventh of the deadly sins, lust! 

The hansom dude in the bottom photo is the boyf Miggi, I thought it was about time to introduce you all to him as I do seem to talk about him rather alot, and when better to do it than when we both look scary and messy!?

Anywho. I am now off to sleep because it has been a very long day and I have to be up at 6 tomorrow to wash my hair before a lecture. Wahh!

I will try to be back sooner this time!

Love love LOVE!

On the road again...

So today is the move back to Uni! And I can honestly say I have never been more excited for anything. I feel  like once I am back in Northampton I can go job hunting, catch up with friends, classes, gym and nights out. Basically I feel like I will have a purpose in life. Which I have not felt for the last 5 months of summer.
I am posting this from the car, on the way over to uni, and I regret to say this could be my last post for a little while, as I don't know the situation of internet at my new house, nor whether I will have a photographer as readily available as I did at home. (My dad liked to use these posts as an excuse to work on his creative side) But I will try none the less. However, due to the move today, I don't have alot to tell you about my day yesterday. I got up, started packing, decided my hair needed dying before I moved, so I slapped on some dye, carried on packing, washed it off, and did more packing. The highlight of my day was a chinese take out bought by my dad, which I savoured, because as of tomorrow it is back to pot noodles and asda price sausages!
Anyway, this is the result of the dying and what I wore to pack my crap up.

Textured Tee and Pleather Leggings, cross earrings and leather bracelets - Topshop, Boots - Melody Direct, Watch - Fossil, Velvet bow brooch - River Island.

So this shirt was only featured like 2 days ago, but I felt like wearing it today with trousers as it is loose and comfy and great for lugging about heavy boxes.

The Pleather leggings are still amazing. Enough said.

The velvet bow on the tee was originally attached to a pair of glittery hareem trousers that I bought a while ago. God knows what possessed me. But as I was selling the trousers, I thought the bow would make a lovely addition to many outfits, so I thought I would hang on to it. 

This is my new hair guys. I haven't tried blue on its own before, and as it came out really dark when I used it for the dip dye, I mixed it with conditioner, which acted as a white toner. It still came out a little brighter than I was expecting, but I must admit, I am chuffed with the results! I just hope it fades reasonably quick, as I feel that prospective employers may not feel the same! 

So tonight I shall be settling in my new home, with my nice big double bed. The first one I have had in my life, aren't I grown up now?! What are you all up to? Anything interesting? 

Tarrah!

Take me to a galaxy far, far away...

So yesterday I went on my final shopping trip in Norwich, this time with the boyf. He bought himself lots of lovely stuff, and I bought myself this cool outfit. We had a lovely day but I couldn't help feeling disappointed that Topshop didn't have the "Horror" black tee in, so I am hoping that when I get back to Northampton this weekend that they will, if not, I will try and wait for a free delivery on Topshop.com. New Look also didn't have the dress in stock anymore that I showed you in my last wishlist post, however, I found one that will be even better, due to the fact that this one won't fall down and cause me any awkward moments.
I also had to once again go and replace my laptop, as the one I bought only a couple of weeks ago decided to start playing funny buggers with me, but the nice man at Staples fixed me up with a shiny new one. A better one... However, once I got home, I realised to my horror that I had left my Lord of the Rings DVD in the disk drive, so the next day I shamefully had to go back and ask for it back, to which all the staff started laughing at me and saying "Oh what if Frodo could see you now." It would have been less embarrassing picking up a porno DVD I swear.

Anywho. Enough rambling. On with the outfit!

Glasses - Primark, Tee - Topshop, Skirt - River Island, Bag - Ark, Boots - Melody Direct.

Now I featured this skirt in a wishlist post a couple of posts ago, and I am pleased to say that when I tried it on it did not disappoint. It was a little tighter than I thought it would be, (not so good for the spare tire around my middle) however, when teamed with a baggy shirt, such as this gorgeous textured Topshop tee, it is actually quite flattering.

Now you all know how much I love my Topshop tees, they are so comfy and flattering, so when I saw this one, I had to buy it. I really liked the unusual colour and texture of it, but as it looked slightly odd worn untucked from the skirt, yet not so flattering when tucked in, I thought I would take some inspiration from Lydia Millen, and tie it up at the side! Not sure I pull it off as well as her, but I thought it did a reasonable job of hiding said spare tire.

I should also mention, skirts of this style are not for the faint hearted. I realised when wearing it today that you need only take a couple of steps and the tiny piece of underskirt protecting one's modesty in the slit side is completely gone. It rides up ALOT. I found myself unattractively yanking it down every minute or so. Maybe it is something I will get used to.

Now for day time I will wear this skirt with chunky boots as above, but for something more dressy I will probably wear it with a blouse and my JCs. 

Tomorrow I am very happy to say that I am off shopping with my friend, the one who had a major operation just 2 weeks ago, well she has made a recovery much quicker than any of us expected, so we are off hunting for some boots for her, and some toothpaste for me. Woo exciting ; ) I would also expect that at some point we may end up in the pub for a few bevvies, as this is the last time I will see her before the big move back to uni on Saturday (YAY!!).

I will also continue the venture of packing, and I am taking all my old clothes round the corner to the nice lady who sells stuff for you in her shop to try and raise a few more pennies to start paying off my enormous debt from this summer, so everything in my shop page will hopefully be sold tomorrow.

What are you all up to, anything particularly nice? 

Cheerio, toodle pip!

Just another day.

So last night I went to the boyfs, where he volunteered to watch Disney with me, Finding Nemo specifically, and didn't even laugh when I nearly cried at the end where Nemo gets of the sting ray to hug his dad. I have found 1 in a million there!
Enough with the mush. I spent most of today in bed because I am incredibly lazy. Then I got up and went to the gym for a loooong work out. Determined to shift some pounds before Uni, I don't wanna go back bigger than I left!

Last night we just walked about Yarmouth, stopping at Tesco for some healthy sushi for dinner and magazines. Btw, very excited about the gothic trend and pastel hair for this season. I feel like for once I will fit right in!
So anyway. This is what I wore for wandering about.

Hat, Tee and bag - Topshop, Cape - H&M, Leggings - Primark, Boots - Melody, Necklace - Delilah Dust, Spiked bracelet - Kukee, Watch - Fossil.

So this is the hat and tee that I bought on my trip into Norwich. The tee is by Project Social. Now I have a few on their tees, because they are flattering and comfy, perfect for fat days, which if you are a regular reader you will know I have rather a lot of those.
The leggings are possibly the best thing I have ever bought. £4 from Primark's underwear section, they don't go see through, nor do they fall down. They are control leggings so they also stop any unsightly wobbling of the butt cheeks that you see on so many unfortunate souls in a regular highstreet.
This bag was another thing that I brought back from my trip to London. I feel like it is going to be a major part of my accessory attire from now on as it is comfy to carry and stores alot, which I need because my bags are always full on magazines, books and general crap. And the best thing about it... It was FREE!!! It was given to me at the Oxford Circus store because I used a student card. Fabaroonie!

Enough of my ramblings, off to finish watching Happy Gilmore with my glass of Rose. What are all you sexy beasts doing with your Friday night? Or Saturday?

Toodle Pip!

Bones baby.

Hi guys.
This is a rather sad post for me, as it is my last post to be written in my flat. My shelves are empty, my cupboard bare and tomorrow I depart for Dirty Yarco.
Goodbye freedom, goodbye independence, goodbye cooking for myself, goodbye blowdrying my hair at 3 in the morning should I choose.
Goodbye shopping without being judged.
For 4 whole months.
On the plus side I get to see the boyf again, which I am extremely excited about as I haven't seen him for 10 days. The longest I have been away from him in 2 years.

Today has been a rather long day of packing, and it is a nice relief to be pretty much done. I also went to the pub for my last JD smothered steak with torpedo prawns, onion rings and chips. Followed by a huge waffle stack that was so big I couldn't finish and the ice cream was abnormally cold and gave me brainfreeze.
Good last supper though.

Anyway, this is what I wore to my trip to the pub. Didn't realise quite how cheeky these shorts are till I was back, no wonder I got some funny looks while having lunch.

And then there's this... Just because I have been informed that I don't smile enough on my blog, to which I answered that I try not to because I feel like I look like a watermelon with teeth when I smile.

Scary stuff huh?

Top - New look Cardigan - The boyf's wardrobe, shorts - Topshop Bone tights - Henry Holland Boots - Melody

Loving this outfit, I think the girly stuff contrasts with the grungy stuff quite well, plus I like clashing prints, and these tights certainly clash with the pretty floral top.

The cardigan is the boyfs, I borrowed it months ago and lost it, and found it down the back of the wardrobe today when packing my crap up. Btw found a ton of clothes that I am going to sell, keep checking back, they will be up on here fairly soon.

On this note, I shall depart to go and mope, feel sad and really wish I had bought some milky way magic stars earlier, but no doubt use nicotine as a replacement. While I still can haha!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend people!

Last Day.

Today was my last day at Jeffery West, and I could not have been more sad to leave. So I came out and did a little shopping to cheer myself up before I had to come home and start packing to leave Uni. 1st year is officially over :(
Chances are this will be my last outfit post for this week too, as I am not sure if I will be out of my PJs tomorrow. I might actually be heading over to the pub for the last JD steak and eggs and chips and onion rings of the year. I could cry at that thought. They have become one of my many addictions over the year aside from a particularly expensive, smelly one and shopping.

Now you all know that I love a fake. Show me a student who doesn't actually. And as I don't have £95 laying around spare I decided to get myself a pair of fake DMs. I also found the cutest little skeleten necklace in the sale at Miss Selfridge, which I am thrilled about as my last one from River Island broke, Its arms and legs falling off.
Anyway here is what I wore today, along with my new purchases.

Dress - River Island Necklace - Miss Selfridge Sunglasses and owl earrings - Primark Boots - Melody Northampton.

This dress was bought just over 2 years ago at River Island, a day after my 18th Birthday, and I am pleased to say it fits me better now! All it takes is a pair of spanx!

The earrings are cute little owls that I picked up just before uni, a bargain at just £1. 

These boots are from Melody Northampton, made by Carlton of London, and considering they cost a wonderful £26.99 I think they are a huge bargain and a very acceptable imitation of the real thing! So comfy too!

A short post for you guys tonight, as I am absolutely shattered, and I need to go and see what my hair looks like as I have just dyed it again and haven't actually seen it yet.
Have a good evening my lovely people!
