OOTD #27

I recently jumped on the sleeveless blazer bandwagon after initially being really against them. I picked up this little white one from Cameo Rose - a label stocked in New Look. Most of the white sleeveless jackets I've seen retail for about £30 - £40. This however, only cost £19.99, plus I was able to get student discount on it too so I ended up getting a really good deal on it! I wasn't 100% sure how I'd find styling the blazer as I have nothing in my wardrobe remotely like this, however I've been wearing it a lot recently and find styling it very easy. It smartens up the simplest of outfits, just like this one which consists of a really basic black dress and some sandals!

My Week In Photos #6

Once again I'll admit this isn't the most exciting round up of photos. It seems that whenever my boyfriend is working I don't really do anything! I did however do a little bit of cooking, tried pub golf for the first time (although admittedly didn't do a lot of drinking due to my condition) and I visited an adorable local cafe which I plan on doing a blog post about very soon!

2. Made Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins

3. New Missguided top

4. Tuna Mayo Sandwich and PewdiePie

5. Making my own fancy little jar of Fruit Infused Water 

6. Pub Golf Score Card

7. Pub Golf Team

My Week in Photos #5

Finally - a week where I've had something to do almost every day but today. It's been nice having so much to do this week (although some of it was just visiting doctors and picking up medicine) and it's been extra nice to feel well enough to do it all! I've recently started a new course of medication and so far so good. Hopefully my recent bit of good luck continues! 

1. Lunchables and PewdiePie

2. Made BBQ Chicken Quesadillas for the first time

3. OOTD to go and visit some friends

4. Failed cake pop attempt

5. Trying out a new primer - review to come soon.

6. A well deserved ice cream after having 5 bottles of blood taken from me

7. Strawberries, Banana, Muesli and Low Fat SKYR Yoghurt for breakfast.

8. Visiting the Dovecote Buttery for lunch

9. Strawberry picking for the first time

10. Trying out Vita Coco 

11. Nandos in Nottingham

12. Trying on stuff in Topshop (and regretting not buying them)

OOTD #26

I think it's fair to say that it's been a long time since I last did an outfit post on my blog, in fact I'm pretty sure it's been almost a year. If I've realised anything whilst attending my first year of university it's that you stop caring about what you look like really, really quickly. I pretty much lived in the same 3 comfy outfits so nothing was ever blog worthy. However I've recently done a bit of clothes shopping and picked up some new summery pieces so hopefully this encourages me to try and get out and take more outfit pictures. One of the items I recently picked up was this dress which is currently in the Motel Rocks summer sale. I have been looking at this dress for so long I can't even begin to tell you. I was so reluctant to pay the full price for it as it's a little different to what I'd usually go for but when I saw it reduced to just £15 in the summer sale I had to snap it up straight away! The material is very flowy and soft so it's perfect for the hot weather we currently have been experiencing here in the UK. (The oversized loose fit of it is also perfect for hiding any food babies from any summer BBQ's you may be attending *ahem*) The sandals I'm wearing in this post are from New Look and are fast becoming my favourite pair of shoes. If you're looking for a chunky sandal for summer then I'd definitely recommend these. They're so comfy and go with so many different outfits, plus they've also just been reduced in the New Look Sale!

P.s. Please ignore my dodgy hair here - I've decided to experiment with growing my fringe out. I've always had some form of a fringe since mid way through year 8 so it's really odd having my forehead so exposed all of a sudden...

OOTD #25

I've been meaning to show these faux leather dungarees on my blog for such a long time now but I'm just so unsure about them. I really love how they look on other people but for some reason I just don't love how they look on me, I feel like I perhaps should have sized down or maybe looked to see if there was a petite version of them as they don't feel like they fit me that well. Then again I could just be overly paranoid about them as it's something so different to what I'd usually wear! As the dungarees are quite a bold statement piece I teamed it with a simple striped crop top and some chunky bold heels and if heels aren't for you then I think skater style slip on shoes like the Topshop Tika's will also look great! It's an outfit that requires minimal effort yet still makes maximum impact.

OOTD #24

Hello Readers,

Today I have another OOTD post for you all! I'm finally wearing the amazing peach coloured Topshop Skort I featured in my massive collective haul a few months back. It's honestly one of the nicest items of clothing I own, such good quality and so worth the money! I decided to style it up with that infamous cropped fluffy jumper that all the bloggers went mad for a few months back, a chunky gold necklace and my new white flatform sandals. An unusually colourful outfit for me but I quite like it.

OOTD #23

Hello Readers, 

It's been a while since I last did an OOTD post but as we've finally got some nice weather I thought it was about time I showed how I style some of the more summery pieces of clothing that I featured in my massive February collective haul. This outfit is not really what I'd consider to be my typical style, it's kind of sports luxe meets clean cut yet I really like it. I've recently been lusting over Co-ords but haven't yet got my hands on one so this is kind of like my own answer to the Co-ord trend and I think it works rather well!

OOTD #22

Hello Readers,

Today I have an OOTD post for you all. It's not a very exciting outfit, however I thought I'd update my blog anyway as I've been pretty bad with keeping up with it as of lately. I'm in the middle of sorting out university related matters at the moment, I think I've decided on going to NTU so I've been applying for student finance and trying to sort accommodation out. I never realised just how expensive student accommodation can be! Looks like if I do find somewhere to live, I'll be fitting into that "broke student" stereotype rather quickly.

I quickly nipped into town today, hence the casual outfit and tragic hair that I'm sporting. I ended up picking up two sets of Primark's false nails. I'll be giving them a go and hopefully reviewing them on my blog soon, which should be pretty interesting as I've never wore fake nails before!

 That's all for today's post. I hope you're all well!

 

 



Meeting Other Bloggers!

Hello Readers,

Today's post is about my recent meet up with Laura Louise Haynes and Jessica Power, two fashion bloggers who are fairly local to me. I've always wanted to meet other bloggers as I personally don't know anyone else who does it so it was really refreshing to be able to meet two lovely girls who share a similar interest to me. I wanted to take some OOTD pictures for the girls blogs and here are a few of the shots;

 

 

 

This was quite a last minute arranged thing and both Laura and Jess had a very tight schedule planned yet still made the time to go out of their way and meet up with me which I was incredibly grateful for. It was even Jess' 21st Birthday on this day and she still came along! These photographs were taken just before the light started to turn really rubbish so it was very well timed. Overall I'm pretty happy with the photos and feel very pleased to have finally worked with some bloggers.Both of the girls have an amazing style so I highly recommend you check out their blogs!

Laura's blog is - http://www.lauralouisehaynes.com/

Jess' blog is http://www.myvtgworld.com/

That's all for this post.

I hope you're all well!

 



OOTD #21

 

Hello Readers,

Today I have my first OOTD post of 2014! I'm really hoping to post a lot more outfits this year as I'd say I have more of an interest in style rather than beauty, although saying that I do love them both. Also I feel like I don't really know enough about make-up to really be writing about it sometimes, I don't know if anyone else in the blogging community feels that way? My problem with OOTD posts is that I rarely ever go anywhere worth making an effort for, like today for example I went for breakfast and then went to the shop. Half the time I go out it's to run simple little errands like that so I don't wear anything special and anytime I actually am going anywhere and have made an effort, I don't seem to have time to take pictures. So I basically just need to push myself to either make an effort more often or to actually go places! - Potential resolutions for this year?

 Today's outfit is rather simple and unfortunately is very similar to one that I wore back in October time I think? This skort has made an appearance on my blog before but I swear I'm wearing it with different items this time! (although they do look similar oops) As per usual I've stayed true to my typically monochromatic style, pairing this fluffy cropped Topshop jumper I got for Christmas with my little patterned skort. I've then paired it with my fairly new heeled boots from Topshop, I did originally want the Topshop Astrix boots, however they didn't have any in my size so I settled for the cheaper lookalikes and to be fair I love them just as much! They're extremely comfortable and give me a much needed height boost without being too unpractical. I threw on my new oversized jacket from New Look that I got last week and then to wrap it all up, It wouldn't be a typical outfit from me without my trusty little bowler hat that never seems to leave my head!

That's all for this post. I hope you're enjoyed it, sorry if it seems like I rambled on a little bit in some places - I feel like I may have got a little too chatty in this one haha!

I hope you're all well!

OOTD #20

 

 

Hello Readers,

I thought I'd update my blog with an OOTD. It's been almost 20 days since my last one so I think it's well overdue considering I wanted to turn my blog into one that was a bit more fashion based. My reason for not really posting many outfit shots is because I honestly spend SO much of my time in my pyjamas and anytime I do get dressed and go anywhere I never really wear anything particularly exciting. 

 

Today I went out and decided to try and start my Christmas shopping but unfortunately returned empty handed but with a belly full of Mcdonalds instead. I've made a list of what I want to get everyone, I just need to look around online and in store and see where I can get the better deal. Well, that's what I'm telling myself so I feel better. I decided that I'd try and style my new Daisy printed jumper that my boyfriend got me for my birthday. It's quite a loud printed jumper so initially I wasn't sure how I was going to style it. I stayed true to my normal dress sense and paired it with a black pleated leather skater skirt, a white shirt, black tights and my comfy cut out boots.

To some of you, you may be thinking, well that doesn't look like a very loud jumper to me, but honestly for me personally I felt so colourful which is ironic considering all my outfit is pretty much black. It's crazy how just a few splodges of yellow on a jumper can make me feel like that haha.

Oh and I'd just like to add that I look absolutely miserable in these pictures so please excuse that and the lighting is pretty horrific also. I really need to find a good location indoors to take my OOTD pictures as it's too cold to go outside now..

That's all for this post, I hope you're all well!
