Updation

Sorry for the sporadicity (word?) of my posting! It was my birthday on Wednesday and I've been busy doing fun things and also working loads at Topshop now I've finished uni.
I spent my birthday with my boyfy in London. We went to Westfield to see the opening of the Living and Giving charity shop. We saw Holly Willoughby and her new baby in there! But sadly, no good clothes. Even though it was the first day of its opening, I think we were a bit late in the day for the good stuff. I was handed a free bottle of Sip ('complexion enhancing' super drink) on entry which was very snazzy! I cannot report on the effect it had on my complexion as I gave it to a homeless man on the tube because I felt really sorry for him! So if you see a homeless yet glowing man around central london, you'll know why. I'm not entirely sure that's a very tasteful joke!
We also went to the Secret Sample Sale in Shoreditch (say that 3 times fast!) but I didn't manage to find anything. Well, I found a nautical crop top for £8 but that was in a vintagey section, not designer.
I got a super cute crop top in New Look, available online here which I wore to work yesterday and enjoyed very much! Outfit pics soon to come. The boyf has used up my camera batteries by using them in his electric shaver which he used to shave off his beard as one of my 'birthday gifts' because I've been boycotting his beard for a while! Whilst I have been enjoying his new youthful appearance, it is a double-edged sword as I am now devoid of pictures until I get new batteries!
In other news, we went to see a new flat on Friday because we have to move out in July and we loved it. I have a whole spare room at my disposal to fill with clothing and piles of magazines! Hooray! And a dishwasher - drool!! (Anyone living out of home will understand the satisfaction a dishwasher brings). Sadly my cat won't have a garden anymore which I'm quite upset about but I'm just gonna get her scratch posts and play with her loads. I've been trying to train her lately to do this:

That video makes me l-o-l more and more each time I watch it! I shall keep you informed in the unlikely instance that me and Roxy make progress on this little project.

Have a nice Sunday night! xo

T-shirt DIY

Take 50p, A t-shirt from the 50p-rail in Age Concern, scissors and patience.

BEFORE:



AFTER:





I debuted it at work today and it got many weird looks which has made me think I have delusions of grandeur of this t-shirt... Maybe it's not as cool as I think it is? But having said that, mass acceptance is not conducive to my inner peace.



I wore it with a fluoro yellow and black vintage swimsuit (see a few posts back for a pic) and wellies as it was pissing it down.

I plan to do this kind of project again and I think I won't do the sleeves too next time. I might just leave them and do the bottom. Next on my DIY list is chopping my Topshop Pippa jeans to buggery as they have already ripped and I figured mutilating them would be more fun than exchanging them for boring new jeans.

I tried this flicky 'Rihanna eye' make-up tutorial I saw on Flying Saucer this morning. Unfortunately it looked good for about half an hour and I consequently spent my entire shift checking my reflection every 15 minutes for under-eye smudgage (a word? It should be.)



xx

Too many dicks on the dancefloor.

Season 2 of Flight of the Conchords pushes the boundaries of wittiness.

For your amusement, a few of my favourite songs from the series. Besides very funny, the music is also genius! Not sure if these have been shown in UK yet (we watched it illegally on da internets!)








xo

Dressed for success.

I've been having a bit of a naff time at work lately and finding it a real drag to go in. So I decided today to put mind over matter and I figured that if I dress up all formal-like, I might feel more professional and have a better time. It worked, and as a result I had a nice day.
Did anyone else have a big storm today? I love storms! I can usually tell when there's going to be one because I get a big headache (when I was younger I used to get terrible nosebleeds if a storm was brewing. Yuck.) but today's one crept up on me. It happened about 2 minutes before I got home from work so I received a slight drenching and then spent a little while consoling little Roxy (my lolcat) who was very confused about all the thunder! Poor thing!

Here's my outfit:



shirt & skirt - h&m, shoes - topshop, necklace/clock - urban outfitters, belt - charity shop

Here's a close up of the clock, my friends bought it for me for my bday (which isn't til 4th June but they've all gone back home for the Summer so I got it early!) I absolutely adore it. I'm having quite a horsey moment in my life, really.



I bought this belt today after a customer queried the price of it and it turned out to be £7, down from £25. It doesn't look that nice but at an RRP of £25, it's quite a refreshing change to my usual structurally unsound vintage belts which are ready to snap at any given moment (or with any given humous-loaded breadstick - my snack du jour).



I have a day off tomorrow and am planning a charity shop pound-rail hunt for t-shirts that I can mutilate. I want to experiment with a few different styles... The one shoulder cropped shape, and fringing.




I shall update on the morrow!

Sunshine

What a lovvellly weekend it's been down south! The weather has been scrummy. The only downside is my hay fever seems to have kicked in today which is a bummer.
I went to a sleepover last night. It was a chilled night, watching Britain's got Talent, drinking Fanta and playing the Wii. I do love a night in. I've been getting very brittle nails of late from alcohol intake!
Here's yesterday & today's outfits:




baseball shirt - delia's, skirt - h&m, shoes - primark. zip dress - h&m, jacket - topshop

I found a couple of things in the charity shops yesterday. I'm not sure how best to wear either but at 50p each I couldn't reist!



I don't often wear scarves but the nautical/french colours and horsies attracted me! Not sure what to wear it with though...

I was rummaging through my vintage gear to earlier to put some of it on ebay this eve and came across a number of swimsuits I've amassed since last summer and have been waiting for the right moment to put them on (still a bit early, i feel). Here's some highlights. They provide quite the visual feast with all the colours and prints!


If you're into selling vintage stuff on ebay, my number one tip is don't be afraid to rummage through used swimwear in charity shops! I know that sounds a bit icky but they can be a goldmine. I was selling used swimwear (the more of a 50's silhouette or ker-azy print, the better) last summer and getting no less than £15 for each of them.

I shall leave you with that pearl of wisdom and retire for the evening to watch Come Dine With Me with my lover and my cat, whilst ironically eating a 99p microwave fish pie.

ps - Leggings surgery has been re-scheduled for tomorrow afternoon!

School's out!

Hooray, uni is over and my life can be my own again.
So, I'm about to jump on an apparently pretty old trend bandwagon and embark on a DIY legging surgery journey! The idea came to me a couple of days ago and I thought I was some kind of revolutionary, until I googled it and found many a blog-post from *gasp* late 2008!
I'm not sure what I want to do with them, I was thinking just cut at the knee and maybe frayed (do leggings fray?) like jeans or something. But I'm not sure. Here are the old piccies I found, but I'm thinking of trying something a tad more subtle.


First pic - Anja Rubik, Second pic - Chictopia

Will be posting pics tomorrow as I have work shortly and am going straight out tonight.

Have a nice Saturday! ♥

My weekend in outfits

So, on saturday, I went into town to buy some mags with my precious few pennies I have left until this Friday. I bought Nylon, Dazed, and i-D. £12 later, whilst reading them, I couldn't help but feel cheated. I think I'm in a magazine rut. I always furiously flick through my new mags, hoping something will catch my attention and make the dollars worthwhile. But Dazed and i-D rarely seem to. Nylon is one of my favourites but the sickly sweetness sometimes gets to me a bit. Why do all these magazines praise everything? Is there a Fashion magazine out there that will say when they think something is a bit shit? I really want to find one! Or even start one, someday... I'm not saying I want to spend money to read a magazine that sends me into a pessimistic-comment-induced depression, but something that is truly honest, not kissing up to designers or brands and not sounding like a neverending sales pitch. Like Vice, but with pretty pictures, perhaps? Recommendations appreciated!

Anyhow, I took a slightly creepy outfit pic. Maybe my head is spinning from the prior magazine sugar rush?



Top (DIY-ed) - Stella McCartney @ Tkmaxx
Belt - Vintage
Jeans - Gap
Flats - Vintage Russell & Bromley

That night, I went to a Pirate fancy dress party. I hadn't prepared a costume or anything but luckily I seem to own fairly piratey clothes.



Waiscoat - h&m
Scarf - from a pal
Top - Topshop
Shorts - Asda
Belt - h&m
Tights - who knows? I found it incredibly hard to deliberately ladder them though, making me wonder how I manage to ladder every pair of tights I own. I actually resorted to scissors in the end!
Boots - Vintage

On Sunday, I had work.




Coral t-shirt dress - Topshop
Blazer - M&S via charity shop
Bag - Vintage
Pin - Snooper's Paradise in brighton
Leggings - New Look (don't buy leggings from New Look, they cause immense crotch-sag)

I also did all my mannequins for Topshop (as part of a training scheme to get me to 'standard level' as opposed to 'training level' where I currently reside). The task was to dress 3 to represent each trend (Memphis - boho, Miami Vice - 80's ish and Buccaneer - tailored and nautical but feminine), so I did those and 2 extra mixy matchy ones (the 2 on the right) which were to my personal taste.




This task further proved to me that I cannot 'do' boho in any way shape or form (first mannequin on the left). She just doesn't look right to me. But nevermind! I have completed the task so that's all that matters!

Watching pre-recorded Come Dine With Me with the boyf, now! Can't wait! I want to be on that show.

xo

This is a first.

Today is the first time this year I am planning to unleash my bare legs 'pon Canterbury. Which means the weather is getting warmer and therefore summer is creeping up on us! I can't wait. My place of work, Topshop is also hammering home this fact, with these delectably summery offerings:

I need the eiffel cropped top in my life! Despite the obvious cheese-belly-on-show issues it will bring. And the ensuing burning eyeballs of onlookers. I don't need a court case on my hands at the moment, so I suppose it's just as well I am broke as anything!

Also, I am still not sure about the harem pants that are rife on the shop floor at the moment. I haven't seen them look good once yet. Well at least not from the back! Am I looking in the wrong place? Have I missed a truly inspirational Facehunter image?

Am off to work now, I have to dress some mannequins as part of a training task, so I shall bring home some photographic proof providing I don't make them look tragic.

xo

Out on the town.

Despite being in the depths of poverty and thus despair (I have £17 to last me 18 days!) I've been persuaded to go out with my pals tonight as its our last night out together for a couple of weeks. We're going to a charming little dive in Chatham, where the drinks are buy one get TWO free! So I've been promised everyone's free drinks so i can hopefully get drunk and not dip into my precious £17.
Here is what I plan to wear. I look really dreadful today facially so I just decided to take a pic of the garments. There may be some live action shots on facebook by tomorrow, though! So I shall post if there's any decent ones.






Dress - vintage
Belt - Vintage
Shoes - New Look (£3!)
Jacket - Topshop from about 7 years ago
Badge - Luella! ♥

I got the badge when I had to go to the Luella shop in London for a uni project and just take notes on the interior and stuff. The staff were so lovely even though they knew I didn't have a bean to spend in there! I had to go round a few shops in london and also try and get packaging samples so i thought i'd try my luck in luella and they gave me Luella printed postcards, tissue paper and stickers! But the best part was when I saw a tub of badges for £5 each. I snapped one up right away! Luella is my fave, and I thought it was really cool and clever how she knows she is popular with girls my age, the student type, so by doing badges everyone can have a piece of the Luella pie, even if we can't afford the clothing just yet.

Am in a hurry to go out now so have a lovely easter if I don't post before then. And don't forget the true message of easter.. don't eat your chocolate too fast. It will only end badly. And lethargically.

xo

Back from the dead!

Ahhh it feels nice to blog again!
Although I might quickly mention I'm kinda disappointed there was no Agathe Stylebytes style manhunt for me..!
So here's my absence note.
I basically just got really snowed under with juggling uni, work and a social life and also went through quite a phase of looking really bland. Totally un-blogworthy oufits. I'd rather not blog than bore you with sights of me in jeans and t-shirts!
Forgive me. I do not have commitment issues, far from it! I just had a little blip. But I'm back!
The past 5 months have been busy busy, I've been doing pretty well at uni and having lots of fun. And watching season 2 of Flight of the Conchords (♥). And being ill sometimes. But far more importantly, I bought some Doc Marten's (see below) and they are great! I made my feet bleed whilst breaking them in but god is it worth it!
I also took my Francophilia to a new level and got my first tattoo!

It is a process I do not recommend. It hurt like hell and the only way to slightly reduce the pain was by squeezing my boyfriends hand and also munching Skittles in a really vigorous manner. It looked ridiculous but it helped!
I have essays to write tonight so will leave you with my 2 outfits I wore this weekend.


Blazer - Charity shop
Dress - Topshop
Belt - Charity shop
Flats - Primark



Dress - Vintage
Doc Marten's - Ebay

Hope you've had a lovely weekend, y'all. Back soon!
Over 'n' Out!

My life in pictures!

Bonjour! I've been up to my eyes in Uni work and my new job at Topshop so thanks for bearing with me, this is probably the way things will be from now. It's been hard to remember to take outfit pictures because the moment I get home I'm usually changing straight into my PJ's and loafing on the sofa or napping! So here's a couple of uni outfits I did manage to snap, one of which was taken in the train station toilet - classy!

Tee - Paris

Cardi - h&m

Skirt - Topshop

Socks - H&M

Shoes - H&M




Polo shirt - Topshop

Shorts - George via Ebay

Scarf (belt) - H&M

Tights - Primark

Boots - Converse

I also got a new batwing T-shirt Dress in Toppers and found some amazing vintage Bally patent boots but unfortunately my left foot is a tiny bit too big for them so they'll be hitting ebay rather soon! Have put my little duct tape hair bow in the picture because it just fits nicely, and had it not been for my rubbish left foot, this could've been a fab outfit indeed:

Will aim to take more proper pictures because I am aware this blog is on a downward spiral to shitdom! I wore a flapper dress with a big Parker jacket over today which I shall try and get a picture of because I thought it looked rather cool in a juxtaposey mixy uppy way!

Enjoy your evening!

xxxx

Happy blogday to meeee!

Yesterday, my style blog turned 1 year old. Aww bless it!



Thanks to everyone that reads this blog, it means lots to me!

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

New items & DIY!

I've been a busy little bee what with my new job and uni etc. As predicted, working in a stylistically competitive environment has forced some creativity out of me and thus the style mojo has returned - for now!
In other news, I've debuted my stripey Monsoon tights which I bought months and months ago. Here are my legs on the way to uni the other day:


Socks - Primark
Shoes - Charity Shop
Dress (barely visible) - H&M

And that evening with my new high-waisted shorts from Ebay which I just love! Wellies were a must as I was off to the Topshop student shop event and it was pissing it down. I had planned wedges but I'm glad it rained because I think wellies give the impression an outfit was just thrown together in 2 mins, which of course mine scarcely are :)



Dress (worn as top) - H&M
Socks - H&M
Necklace - Claire's
Bow - see below!
Belt - Charity Shop

In my hair I'm wearing the big bow I made out of duct tape (not my first foray into the world of duct tape crafts!) Am happy to post a tutorial if anyone wants one.



Here's what I wore to work yesterday:




Tee - Topshop (has the most delightful exposed zip on the back!)
Bow - Car Boot Sale
Scarf (worn as belt) - H&M
Ribbed Tights - Primark
Socks - H&M
Boots - Converse

I have a tres early morning tomorrow as we are having a lecture about trend forecasting which should be interesting! So I'm gonna take myself off to bed to wind down and read this month's yawn-worthy issue of Elle.. I hate when you wait all month for a mag to come out and when it does it just leaves you high and dry! Bloody Elle. An unintentional joke there!

Bon soir xoxo

I am in love!

With my new glasses!
I got them from a super cheap ebay store who have just started selling different coloured ones. Aren't they sweet! £8 including shipping from USA! I love how they fade from dark grey to clear.





Here are the others that they do:






I WAS going to get these from Urban Outfitters (sorry for teeny pic):



I did obsess over them for a good few hours but at 19.99 including shipping, It was an indulgence too far. They've sold out anyway now so I can just put them in the past, move on and enjoy my long and happy future with my cats eye specs. Plus anything to do with cats is a good sign, in my book.

LOST: Style Mojo!

I'm not sure if I just need a shopping spree, but I recently feel like I not only have nothing to wear, but I just can't think of new ways to wear the stuff I do own. I have rarely had this problem before. I decided to play a bit of dress up this evening and I think the first outfit demonstrates my point brilliantly...



Peculiar 'mid-waist' shorts? CHECK! Visibly cheap & irrelevant shoes? CHECK! Pastel woolliness? CHECK!

What is happening to me? I hope it's just a lack of inspiration. It's not even that the outfit is THAT bad, but it just doesn't reflect me at all. Not one iota. Where is the rock chick undertone? Nowhere!

Anyway, things improved slightly with the entrance of my bad-ass-bitch side!




A slightly less bad-ass variation on the theme (ie. heels instead of cons!):



I cheered myself up after my identity crisis by wearing my new Marimekko h&m playsuit. I found it on Ebay recently and it was one of the happiest moments of my month! When I went to Paris earlier in the year, around the time the h&m Marimekko stuff just came out, I trawled every h&m looking for it. "AVES VOUS MARIMEKKO???" I asked the sales assistants who didn't have the foggiest idea what I was on about, even though a couple of the h&m's did actually have it! Just as well I wasn't a mystery shopper otherwise they'd have lost serious marks for product knowledge! I digress, the lovely playsuit was nowhere to be found.
Until now!

I haven't outed it yet, Am a bit worried about the bumminess of it (as demonstrated below!) Is it okay to practically reveal buttcheek if there's some opaques thrown in the mix? I hope so! Because I'm loving this. Maybe with a long cardi it will be better, not to mention warmer.





I love how the shorts are really puffy, they make me look quite bootylicious, which I don't mind at all!

I think I'll go round the charity shops tomorrow and look for some new clobber. What I really want is some high waisted denim shorts and a few cute slight-baggy t-shirts. Preferably with cats on. I think that could be the cure. Cats are always the cure.

xo

Many naff quality pics!

Here are some pics of some outfits from the last week or 2 that I haven't got round to posting, the first pic is my new U-neck dress that h&m are doing - a blatant rip-off of American Apparel's version! I also got one in black. They are so comfy, but obviously pose a problem around the tummy area and therefore must only be worn after avoiding breakfast.



Next up is the outfit I wore on the above shipping spree:



Cardi - Topshop
Dress - h&m
Tee - Topshop
Tights - Primark
Shoes - Primark
Necklace - Claire's

On a summery day:



Dress - Primark
Bag - Vintage
Flower - "

Off to a BBQ:



Blouse: Primark

Sunglasses - car boot sale
Bag - Red Herring

In a cat cuddly mood:



Cat & Mouse jumper - car boot sale
Cat - from a nice lady in Kent

Model behaviour!

Before I begin, fab news! I just heard today I got a job at Topshop!!! Hoorrayyy!

So anyway, a lovely photography student from Uni, Denisa, asked me to be the subject for one of her assignments. The project was called 'identikit' and basically had to reflect the personality/interests of the subject. Here's a couple of the pics! I did warn her I was unphotogenic - these were the only ones in which I wasn't looking silly out of about 200 pics!

It was a very fun day though, and she was lovely!







So excited about my new job. Fashionable job = wearing good outfits = more outfit posts! So my bank account thrives as does my beloved blog!

xoxo

Sorry for the absence! As most of you know, i just started uni so the above pic is the story of my life right now! Long train journeys, snacks and mags! I have a long weekend coming up though so can hopefully revive my flagging blog! Am currently in bed blogging from my mobile so will wrap it up now, bon soir! Xo

Paisley fest 08

Here are some vintage bits for sale on my ebay at the moment. I plan to put more on later in the week (Can't list anything on monday, tues or weds otherwise they end on thurs/fri/sat which are popular going out nights!) including leather flat boots & other shoes.

If any of you blog readers win the auctions, you'll get a freebie! Just message me when after you've won!

Here's the link to my ebay! Ignore the kitchen I have for sale, doing a favour for my mumsy!





xoxo

DIY!

This month's NYLON mag inspired me to make a dress (or long top depending on your height!) out of a pillowcase! I bought 4 different pillowcases for £1 in a charity shop earlier so I might branch out with different necklines etc. I think its really cute! And it took 30 seconds, literally.

Before:

After!



leggings - h&m
shoes - "
belt - new look

Anyone else itching to break out their winter woolly hats? Be gone with you, boring sunny-cloudy weather!

Mindless self indulgence

I've been having a rather self indulgent week. I think it's been brought on by going to a fashion uni where everyone is dressed so well that I feel positively drab! So what do you do? You buy a wicked vintage playsuit with studs and faux diamonds, of course! I've also bought 3 pairs of flat shoes in as many days because the trek to uni (20 mins to station, 5 mins up a steep hill when I get off train) means that it's literally flat shoes only for the next 3 years. I tried a low heel the other day and it was just painful. Not to mention very difficult to descend the steep hill on the way home!
So here are my recent purchases:

Zip up h&m booties:



Granny semi-wedges (ridiculously comfy!):




Pink jazz shoesies (6.75 inc postage on ebay!):



Dreamy playsuit (ebay):




I thought I'd also include a blurry pic of the elephant bow brooch I made!



Ribbon - c&h, brooch - mum's, vagina armpit - model's own!

So I've been busy buying and creating as well as coping with freshers week at uni! Which is going really well by the way, lots of nice people. Some annoying people, but that's life isn't it :) I knew there'd be lots of 'big personalities' at a fashion-orientated uni!

Hope you all enjoy your Saturday. xo

The kids are too alright!

I was reading Susie Bubble's post pondering the diminishment of individuality as a result of today's internet-obsessed, blog-happy generation. It is a really interesting post and made me think of my recent perusal of Elle's online street style page.

There was a collection of picture's from the recent Underage Festival (an indie-emo fest for under 18's) in London. Looking at the pictures of these 14/15 year olds I just couldn't believe how much 'style' was going on! It really is a sign of the times, when I think back to when me and my friends were around that age, moshing around in huuuge flares and blink 182 shirts! We didn't have a clue about style. But those were the days of 58k internet, I suppose! In my house we only had the internet for 2 hours on Sunday so I guess I didn't stand a chance!

Good on these kids for looking fab, I guess, but I can't help but feel a bit uncomfortable about this whole 15-year-old fashionista movement! I'm not sure why. Gosh, I feel an outburst of Keane's 'Everybody's changin'' coming on!

Being an indecisive Gemini I do find it hard to have concrete opinions on anything, which is why I don't usually post blogs like this! So what I would advise you to do, dear readers, is head on over to Susie Bubble's blog for far more coherent thoughts on the matter!

Here are a few of the pictures in question. Enjoy being inspired by the style of these tiny children!







I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter. Am I wrong to feel a bit weirded out by 14 year olds looking cooler than me?

Yours truly,

Old & uncool from Kent

Rainy rainy sunday!

Here's a couple of pics of me in today's cosy rainy day attire!




Cardigan - Topshop
Dress - Primark
Belt - h&m
Necklace - Claire's
Leggings - h&m
Socks - Primark
Wellies - Priceless shoes

I'm wearing my new long cardigan from Toppers. Just a couple of weeks ago, I wouldn't have given 2 figs about long cardigans, but I've seen two pics of Peaches Geldof wearing them and they just look so lovely! They add a really nice grown-up dimension to an outfit, whereas normal cardi's can give a preppy/school vibe. But I won't be banishing my threadbare h&m cardi to the back of the cupboard just yet!
I am embarrassed to have been such a sucker for celeb-style! I do try and be individual but I suppose there's no shame in finding inspiration in various places...

The blur at the bottom of the second pic is my boyfriend's foot. He was trying to hijack the picture. He also wants me to post pictures of his new skate shorts but I let him down gently :)

I've been thinking about what to wear for the first day of uni and although the gorgeous lady from Freelancer's Fashion Blog suggested heels and a dress, which I had in mind, I've remembered the Uni is up a steep and yucky hill so I don't want to be walking like a cripple before I've even set foot in the joint! So I've been considering a more casual but cute look, maybe something along these lines?

xo

Ebay stuff!

These cuties end next sunday at tea time. If they take your fancy, why not give me some of your money? :-D
Not very subtle and not very cool, but a good suggestion nevertheless!







I start Uni on monday!! I'm a bit nervous. But excited! No idea what to wear. First impressions and all that...
Casual? High heels? Eek! I don't knowwwww.

Enjoy your weekend everyone xo

Pubbing for pudding!

Here's a pic of my outfit from when Alex & I went to wetherspoons for a drink and a pudding :) Much cheaper than going out for dinner! Just have a cheap crap dinner at home and then go out for pud!
I just bought a bulk load of 70's/80's vintage dresses (some of which will go on ebay tonight) and lots of them were this really shapeless midi-length so i made the executive decision to turn them into mini dresses!
I got a bit attached to this one so decided to wear it to the pub! I just love the shape of it.
I had to behead myself because my facial expression left a lot to be desired.


I'll probably post more pics of the stuff going on ebay tonight because they are such gorge dresses and must be appreciated by as many people as possible! I want to marry all of them.

xo

Bows & big shoes (the story of my life)!

So my beloved boyfriend has gone to band practice and left me to my own devices with the camera. In just half an hour I have acquired 2 new best friends - the tripod and the self time button!
It's early days but hopefully with a bit more practice I can have some super quality piccies!






Bow - car boot sale
Tee - Paris Souveneir shop
Cardi - h&m
Skirt - h&m
Tights - Primark
Shoes (purple)- Office
Shoes (black) - Topshop

Outfit & new shoes!

I went back to Bexhill to visit my mumsy last week and couldn't resist a little charity shop jaunt!
I found this oversized shirt which I've decided to sell on ebay :( But I enjoyed wearing it!

I also found these old school LA Gear's which I decided NOT to sell! They have little diamantes along the side (didn't really show up on cam!) and bows on the back! I was gonna sell them, so I put them on my foot to gauge their size and they just fit so perfectly I knew they had to stay!


I'm having a bit of trouble knowing what to wear with them though? I spend so much time in towering wedges or little pumps that I just don't know how to wear sporty shoes these days!

x

So, unpacking the clothes...

Here's a before and after pic of unpacking the clothes in my little dressing room in Alex & my new house...



I had to fit a LOT of clothes into a pretty tiny space but I did it and it was nice and organised but old habits die hard and it's looking a bit of a tip in there at the moment! I actually considered getting hypnotised out of my untidiness at one point but didn't get round to it! Some day, though.

I'm loving living in Canterbury! It's so nice living somewhere that's still 'alive' after 8pm! And it has a Pizza Hut. And a h&m! I have sacrificed the goldmine charity shops of my prior granny-ridden town but we mustn't let these things hold us back from reaching our goals in life - in my case pizza hut and h&m!

Bonjour xo

Hello again chapettes, if I still have any readers out there!!
I had a slightly longer break than anticipated!
In the MONTH (I'm ashamed!) I've been not blogging, I've moved house, unpacked (a gargantuan task), been on 'holiday' to Wales (lots of rain & sheep) and decided to step up my ebay selling and have bought my first bulk lot of yummy dresses which I'm expecting to arrive any day now!
I'm really happy to be back to blogging, although I'm sure it'll be a sketchy few weeks what with fresher's week at Uni and stuff so bear with me :) I'm really looking forward to learning about fashion and the biz, and hopefully bringing a few interesting points and debates to the blogging table rather than 'wot i wor 2day' etc, haha!
Now we've got the formalities out the way, I'll post a few blogs on my recent goings-on rather than doing a huuuuuuge picture heavy one. Let's keep things organised!
