New shoes! Again.

Scrolling through my older posts new shoes seems to be a common theme, so to keep up with that tradition I thought I would post about the beautiful new shoes I brought yesterday. Unfortunately they're replacing a pair of black topshop boots with silver studded ends- topshop shoes are beautiful but their flats definitely don't last that long, which is disappointing. I've been looking for a pair of boots to replace them for a while now but haven't found anything I liked, until yesterday when I was in town and just couldn't keep myself from the office sale (student budget means shopping is fine as long as it's on sale, right?) and I found this beautiful new pair. The detailed studding is a little bit edgy but works really well, the boots go great with jeans but also paired with dresses and skirts which is what I was looking for. I'm almost certain they will last longer than my topshop ones, you can see they're built better- They're currently making their debut outing on my feet as i'm going out for dinner, I never want to take them off.On a different note i'm off to London in the morning for a few days on a trip with my course, being from near London i'm far less excited about it than most people but it still should be fun! I'll let you know how it goes. Love and stuff X

Uni sweet uni,

It's not quite home sweet home, but it will do! 
I've been thinking about starting a new blog for a while now, but then I figured why not start where I left off. So here I am! A lot has changed since I last posted, no longer am I blogging from the comfort of my big double bed at home, the bed has been replaced with a much smaller version (and definitely a lot less comfortable) and i'm sitting at a desk cluttered with work, art materials and empty alcohol bottles. Real world. I have arrived (Probably not, but a big step closer than this time last year) I'm 5 months into an art and design course in Lancashire, and while my southern heart is suffering from the constant surrounding of Northern accents it's safe to say i'm enjoying myself-possibly too much at times, but that's what university is for! I'm keeping it short for now, but i promise this time i'll be back. Love and Stuff X 

Birthday celebrations

So, last weekend was my 18th Birthday, I'm officially an adult. I feel old. I had a really nice weekend and it was such a good opportunity to dress up; Friday night I hit Brighton with a few friends (It was my moral obligation, clubbing on your 18th is a must!) I took the chance to wear my black top with the mesh panel at the front again, it's so nice, but not for everyday wear, it's pretty revealing! I wanted to make it more casual than when i wore it in my last post paired with a pink pleated skirt, so I matched it with a black high waisted tube skirt and black wedges, then my burgundy Harrington over the top for some colour. It was cute, and such a fun night overall. Saturday night was my much anticipated Narnia themed party! I love the Lion the witch and the wardrobe books and films so when my mum suggested a Narnia party, how could I resist?! My mum and some other lovely people spent the entire day preparing and transforming my house, and I must say they did a wonderful job. It wasn't fancy dress (although my brother did dress up as Mr Tumness, but that was mainly out of choice...) which meant I could wear the lovely Lipsy dress my mum brought me. It was really comfy and the sequins didn't scratch at all which I find other sequin clothes do, and the low back looked really nice. Love and stuff x

Dressed for winter; ready for spring

I feel like I'm neglecting my page, I'm sorry! Everything's mega busy at the moment with school and just general life so I hardly have time to update. Seeing as it's March I'm living in hope of Spring, although I feel like a hope is all it's ever going to be at the moment- It's freezing! Luckily, this year I'm prepared. I spend practically every winter looking for a winter coat then in the end just give up as winter's nearly over by the time I find one that I like, I'm just not a massive layering fan. I just want summer! But this year, and brace your self people, this is a pretty big thing, I brought a coat! Ok, so it's not a big deal, but it is for me, it's really nice as well! I found it on ASOS and instantly fell a little bit in love, it's slightly over the top, but so perfect at the same time. It's full fur (fake obviously) and comes to  just above my knees with a cute as anything hood. It looks really nice with simple clothes, pretty and practical, what more could you want?! Love and stuff x 

SPARKLE N SHINE

Two weeks into the new year and here is my as promised new years outfit post. I went to a house party so I wanted to to be chilled out but kind of dressy at the same time, contradiction, I know, but here's the outcome of my mixed messages outfit. I got a gold sequin skirt for Christmas from H&M which is so beautiful, so that made it's first outing because every new year needs a bit of sparkle (or something equally cliche, but let's just focus on how nice the skirt is), I teamed it with a simple black top from Topshop with a leather look square on the front  to make it more casual and it was super comfy. Last but not least, the shoes, always the most important part of any outfit, and my new favourite pair, black Jeffrey Campbell lita boots. I'm currently attempting to stop myself drooling over the keyboard just thinking about them, they're amazing! They make me about 5 inches taller but the wedge at the front means they're easy to walk in, talk about the best of both worlds! Expect my next post to be a shoe one, I have three new pairs to show off, i'm in heaven over here. Hope everyone's new years have got off to a good start. Love and stuff x 

Happy new year

Happy new year you beautiful people! Hope everyone had fun filled new years, and aren't suffering too much as a consequence. I will post again soon, I promise. Expect a very, very excited new shoe post including the one and only and possible new love of my life, Jeffrey Campbell. Love and stuff x 

Charity shopping

 In true student style I have once again been raiding the charity shops, my thought process goes down the road of 'if it's from a charity shop I'm allowed to buy it no matter how poor I am'- it's for charity after all... Anyway, I honestly think the charity shops around where I live are some of the best, there's always nice clothes and they're so cheap, so it's a win win situation. The other day it was raining on my way home from college so I thought I would have a look in the shops while I waited for a lift home and ended up buying a beautiful new 'Dickies' check shirt, it's really thick and warm and just generally nice. I wore it out the other day when one of my friends had a Christmas meal for everyone (which was amazing by the way!) I wanted to dress nice, but obviously it was just a chilled thing so I wore a fitted black skirt and top tucked in and then threw my shirt over the top. It was really comfortable, I think this might be one of my favourite charity shop finds so far. Hope everyone is enjoying the festive season, Merry Christmas guys! Love and stuff x
