You wanted all I had to give...

Look guys, I am rubbish. Sorry for my long absence. 

I have been a busy bee!

I have gotten myself a job!

A real 9 to 5 job. The boyf has also moved in and have been attempting to make the gym a very frequent part of my routine, plus getting a decent sleeping pattern sorted - no more 6 AM bedtimes for me as I now have to be up at 7 for work, so as you can imagine, I have been a little preoccupied! Don't know how the rest of you bloggers do it! 

However, for this post, I thought I would show you how I would style my seriously cool new over-sized shirt that I bought for work! 

Shirt and rucksack - Primark, Leggings - River Island, Socks - H&M, Creepers, Pasha Northampton (Now  Redbox)

So this is essentially how I wore the shirt for work, the dress code is smart casual, but that means no miniskirts, which has obviously been a bit of a problem considering that is pretty much all I wear.

So, all black, very sensible, perfect for those days when you just want to cover up and hide under something flattering, however, the sheerness of the fabric allows the wearer to add a little sexy twist to the outfit should they choose to. It also comes in cream and would make a great holiday wear, for throwing on at the beach or in the evenings with the studded belt that is included.

at £10 it is a bit of a bargain in my opinion.

Anywho. This is how I would take it from office to night out...

Leather shorts - River Island, Boots and necklace - Topshop, Vest (Under shirt) - New Look

For a night out I would just swap leggings for shorts and flats for heels.

I chose a chunky necklace as it stood out well against the black, and also matched with the cute gold buttons on the shirt.

Now these boots. These boots are my babies. They are fairly painful boots, but I love them so much that I am willing to put up with them. ( I have a black big toenail that proves my persistence, but come on... So freaking hot!)

I had been eyeing them in Topshop for about 5 months, however, at £100 they were too far out of my budget, so when they went into sale at £50 I decided to wait for a few days, then when I looked again and they still had them in my size I knew it was a sign I needed to buy them. 

Yes. NEEDED. Don't judge.

Once again, I digress, the gold detailing on the buckles also matched the buttons on the shirt so I thought they were a great combination!

I thought a blood red lip gave a slick pop of colour to the outfit, but still in keeping with my grungy style.

Now just need to find the time to go on a night out so I can actually show off this combination!

Gonna say ciao for now because I don't know when the heck I will be back.

Summery Pastels...

Hey guys! Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather, because more than likely it will be gone by tomorrow!

It has been a few crazy days. I decided to come home for a little while as I was fed up being in Northampton, and I have loved every minute of it!
Went on a little shopping trip in Norwich on Thursday and bought a few goodies, many of which were from Ann Summers, and are possibly a little inappropriate to post, however, I also bought this beautiful dress. I think the sun came out specifically to allow me to wear it!

Sunglasses - H&M, Dress - Ark, Socks - H&M, Boots - Truffle, Hair bow - River Island, Earrings - Topshop.

I fell in love with this dress the minute I saw it. The colours are gorgeous, perfect for summer, and the pattern is sooo funky and cool. The design of the back is also really cool. I have never seen anything like it.

For anyone considering buying it, go a size or two down, as I am normally a size 12 and this dress (size 10) is still too big! It also has padding in the cups so a bra is not needed. A good thing with a back like that!

All I need now is a good tan!

For evenings or colder days I will team it with a leather jacket or wear a denim shirt under it. It would also look great teamed with black sandals.

What are you all up to this lovely evening? I am gonna chill with the family and read a book. 

See ya laterrrzzz

You're my best friend and I love you...

Hey guys! I'm back... Finally.
Well, it has definitely been a busy few weeks, deadlines coming out of my ears, preparing for summer, job hunting and of course the end of year celebrations, of which there has been many.
So good news, got a job for the summer! That means no sitting around bored and moderately depressed like last summer. I finished Uni only a couple of weeks ago, and already I am crazy bored, can't wait to start work and get a proper routine going!
Anyway. As I have still not got round to uploading my last outfit post, when I was on a visit at home, here it is. I apologise for the moody face, I promise I was in a good mood!

Tee - Topshop, Skirt - Ark, Boots - Office, Cardigan - Primark, Earrings - Topshop, Glasses - Borrowed

I realise I posted this outfit way back last year, however, I love it so I thought I'd post it again.

This skirt is one of my faves. As it the tee. Cannot wear them enough!

Quick question, as my camera appears to have permanently gone crazy, do any of you guys have any reasonably priced cameras that you would recommend? Mine is doing my head in!

I am now off to watch 2 Broke Girls and continue my lovely night in with the boy.

Ciao Ciao for now!

Do you think we'll be in love forever? Do you think we'll be in love...

So tonight I had a little night out, which was a lovely and much needed break from being in my house on my own. I should not have gone, as A, I have far too much work to be doing, B, supposed to be saving my money and C, was meant to be starting my fast today.
All of these things have failed. Disaster.
Anyway, on a positive note, I had a half successful shopping trip today, the results of which, I wore tonight.

Pinafore dress - River Island, Mock Denim Bandeau - Newlook, Boots - Office, Earrings - Topshop Watch - Fossil

So I bought these things today to cheer myself up, and because I felt like I had been far too sensible with my birthday money so far. I have to say, the pinafore has a very odd fit. As much as I love it, it is supposed to be crossed over at the back only once, however, the straps are so insanely long that the only way I could get it to fit was to twist it over and over again! Still, for £20 I can't really complain, seeing as I usually find River Island to be fairly over priced.

I thought it would go well with the denim bandeau for a night out as it made it look a little dressier, but I will normally be paring it with a sheer cream shirt. 

I also did something new today and actually experimented with new make up. I normally wear the same make up every day and never change my style, however today I wanted to add a little colour into the mix. I invested in a Barry M eyeshadow pencil in Purple, and I have to say, I have never been so impressed with a make up product. I have very sensitive skin and find that alot of products bring me up in a rash or make my eyes water, however, this one was absolutely fine. It was also very easy to create the shape I wanted, with sharp pointed flicks at the end of each eye, a look that I have never been able to create with a brush.

If you are a bit of a make up novice like myself then I would say it is definitely worth investing.

On that note, I am off to finish watching Pirates of the Caribbean and to get some sleep as my house is cold and creepy and I am extremely shattered. Not to mention I have to be up fairly early tomorrow to crack on with even more work tomorrow as I did precisely nothing today. The fear is definitely kicking in now. Cannot wait for it all to be over.

Anywho.

Good night my lovers!

Sugar skulls and candy canes.

Sorry for the late or extremely early post, depending on what way you look at it, but I have been out tonight and don't yet feel like sleeping I thought I'd do an outfit post of a new dress I bought a couple of weeks ago.

Tonight has finally been the night for our Uni fashion Show, Sweet Dreams. It was a massive success. Everybody worked so hard to put together a fabulous show and I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone when I say that we can be pleased with the results.
An outfit post for what I wore tonight will be done another day, as I was rather merry and didn't get many decent pictures, not to mention I got half a pint of Disarano knocked over me by a quick handed bar maid.
So in the mean time... This is the new dress I bought last week, and lived in ever since!

Dress - H&M, Shirt - River Island, Earrings - New Look, Boots - Office.

Now I'd picked up this dress nearly every time i'd been in H&M for about 3 months because I thought it was so cute, then when I went to return a dress I have bought in London a few weeks ago I saw it again and couldn't resist it. This dress is seriously flattering and a massive bargain at only £14.99. I think it works best over a shirt, but that is just me. Anything to hide the bingo wings. 

Now I am off to go and fill my hot water bottle and attempt some sleep. Shouldn't be too hard as deadline week caused me to do a thirteen hour stint in the library over night last night.

Also for any of you who happen to venture into the library at ridiculous hours at night, how bloody strange is that?! I witnessed a group playing a human game of Pacman around the aisles and some dude attempting to fit as many maryland cookies into his mouth as possible out of sheer boredum. Mental.

Anyway.

Sleepy time.

Nahnight ma beauts.

Poker face.

Hey guys!
So it was my 21st birthday on Tuesday. Bit of a disastrous night to be quite honest, except for a special few who helped to make it better. And the boy of course, who made sure I was having the best night possible, considering my birthday falls on deadline week and everyone is skint because it is the end of term!
Anyway. This post is mainly to show off my beautiful new dress that was one of my presents from him. Boy done good. ;)

Earrings - Topshop, Dress - Sugarhill Boutique, Boots - Jeffrey Campbell.

Now I have been after this dress for quite some time. I first fell in love with it last summer, but considering I was living out of my overdraft, I could not quite justify the price tag. Although for those of you who read last summer will know I couldn't really justify half the stuff I bought. Anyway. Last week I thought I would just have a browse on their site and saw it had gone into sale! After nearly having a heart attack at the fact they still had it in my size I hinted extremely heavily at the boy to buy it as a birthday present. And to my joy, he did!

The dress was delivered quickly. It was ordered on the Friday night and was here by Tuesday, and I have to say I could not be happier with it. The pattern is unlike anything I have seen before and is just the right amount of girly for me. The fabric is beautiful and floaty, but the dress is properly lined so there is no fear of any underwear sneaking into view.

Having worn this dress I would have to say I will definitely consider their price tags from now on as the quality and fit of this is totally worth the money!

This evening I am off to shower and crack on with some work. Deadlines are coming out of every orifice in my body and time is fast running out so I had best get going!

Ciao for now!

Monochrome Drone...

Hey guys! Apologies for yet another absence.
I am rubbish!
Today I trecked into town with Andi. Big mistake. We froze! What is with this weather?!
This time last year we were limbering up for our first BBQ, today we were nearly crying from the cold and snow.
Anyway. This is what I wore, minus the high shoes (Haven't worn them in a while and thought they deserved a photo or two) and plus a big fur coat.

Shirt - H&M, Dress - River Island, Bag - Primark, Boots - Jeffrey Campbell, Earrings - Topshop, Sunglasses - Borrowed from Andi

This dress was bought for me for Christmas a couple of years ago by my boyfriend, but I haven't felt too comfy wearing it because the arms are funny and show a bit of armpit bulge, however, when teamed with a plain shirt I think it looks pretty good and is bang on with this season's 60's monochrome trend!

Tonight shall be spent doing coursework and cleaning our house for yet another viewing tomorrow. Fun times! Better get to it!

Love you all!
