Neon Blue

Jumper: Topshop Sale | Blouse: Topshop | Trousers: Topshop | Converse: Office Sale | Bracelets: Primark | Rings: H&M & Topshop

Another entire Topshop outfit, whoopsie. I can justify it though as both the top and trousers were birthday presents! I absolutely fell in love with the collar, I just couldn't help myself. I'm having a bit of a Converse crush at the moment and I think it's time to invest in a second pair, I'm thinking red high tops or a white pair?

Just loving life on the pier!
I think it's gonna take me a while to get used to doing outfit posts again, it's been far too long! I'm looking a bit orange, I'm hoping it's the lighting because I've just gone down a foundation shade! Anywho, this is what I wore a couple of weekends ago for a little trip down to Brighton to visit my friend who's just moved into her new house. We spent the day exploring, shopping and spending far far too long on the 2p machines on the pier! I've even started a little collection of my prizes because I'm that cool ;) 

This weekend and last I've been a crazy eBay lady and managed to make myself a nice little £105 by selling quite a few things which probably would've ended up at the charity shop, it's true, one man's trash is another's treasure. I didn't expect to sell some of the things I put up. What did you get up to the weekend just gone?

Metal Mixer

Top & Bracelets: Topshop Sale | Jeans & Hairband: Primark | Necklace: Charity Shop | Bag: New Look Sale | Lipstick: MAC Creme Cup

Hey strangers! It's been a while. How have you all been? I'm feeling surprisingly positive today considering it's a Monday morning, but maybe that's because I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of my iPhone 5, eeeeek! 

I'm not one for mixing metals normally but I thought this outfit needed sprucing up a bit so I think it works. I also wore my silver studded boots which I'm sure you've all seen before!

I didn't realise until I began writing this post, this outfit is pretty purse friendly, I got a lot of these items in the January sales. I really love this top, I never even saw it when it was full price (not that I'd pay £38 for it anyway!) I love the split back and the way the crosses fade upwards. I'm also loving my £1.50 spiked Primarni hairband, I've wanted one for ages but I was scared of looking like the Statue of Liberty - this one is fairly subtle!

I've just linked the lipstick I'm wearing and still can't believe MAC lippies are £14! I remember them being about £11 a few years ago - such a rapid increase!

Don't Try

Coat: Topshop Sale | Jumper: Topshop | Skirt: New Look | Scarf/Hood: River Island | Wellies: Harry Jo & Co | Necklace: Topshop Sale

I couldn't resist going out in the snow yesterday to snap some snowy outfit pics! They're not the greatest photos but there was not way I was hanging around outside for too long! I was also pretty worried my camera was going to get wet/snowy.. I need a little umbrella for it.. Do they even exist?! *Five minutes later* Yes, they do exist. They're kinda cute and kinda geeky!

Fellow bloggers will probably have experienced this, how annoying is it when you start to link all your clothes in an outfit post and find half of them in the sale (which you bought for full price!) If you like my wellies they're down to £20, haha. To be fair though I have had them for ages.

How have you all been enjoying the snow? We haven't had much but it's still managed to cause disruption. I wonder when the day will be when Britain will actually be able to deal with a few inches of snow!

Sweet Nothing

Top: Topshop | Skirt: Topshop | Shoes: Primark | Clutch: eBay | Bracelet: Links | Nails: Models Own, Thunder + Lightning & Juicy Jules

This was my go to outfit for all the Christmas events and festivities last month. I used my Topshop voucher for the top and skirt so I didn't feel as bad getting them - the top was ridiculously overpriced! Ah well, both have a lot more wear in them yet. I really love this skirt, I don't think I'd wear a full pleather skirt so this is perfect for me, it's also a bit different to your usual pleather skirt.

Look how b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l my shoes are! I've had them for some time now but haven't had the chance to wear them, also a bit scared to wear them, they are rather painful. No pain no gain.

I curled my hair with my newish Enrapture Totem Styler, I would never pay £75 for it, but I don't think it's bad for half price. I need to play around with it a bit more and find my perfect combination (I used 2-2-2 in these pics if you're wondering). I also need about 6 inches chopped off!

Hope you're having a good evening, I'm spending mine watching these endless teenage boozy holiday programmes! Sooo messy.

Kemosabe

Shirt: Glamorous via Republic sale | Jeans: Missguided, last year | Jacket: Topshop | Boots: eBay | Cat bracelet: Topshop sale | Lips: MUA Shade 1 | Nails: Nails Inc, Picadilly Circus & Westminster. Models Own, Juicy Jules
N.P: Kemosabe

Hi hi! Here's my outfit I whacked on after work the other day to go for a spot of dinner and a few cocktails. Everybody must make and try Malibu Coconut Milkshake, it was divine! Especially as you can get fake Malibu in Tesco for £4.99, bargain alert! 

On to my outfit. I got this shirt in the Republic sale for £10, I love the cut out shoulders but I don't think it does any flavours for my shape - I had to take lots of photos for this post, put it that way.. I do however love my new pleather jacket even though every other girl I walk past is also wearing it, damn the popularity of Topshop.

I've not really had a very good day today, I really wanted to go to the #motelxmas party tonight but unfortunately life and work got in the way. I was really looking forward to meeting Jess, Francesca and Tash and lots of other bloggers, but hopefully there will be a next time! Le sigh. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day!

Snippets

Top: Primark | Shorts: New Look (old) | Sandals: New Look (old) | Rings: Primark | Sunglasses: Primark | Lipstick: Barry M 'Coral' | Toes: Models Own 'Beach Party'

These images are from a few weeks ago when we had that beautiful sunshine - seems like such a long time ago now! I've been putting off posting these images as I didn't like the full length shots (too much flesh on show, eek) Being the wally that I am, it's taken me two weeks to realise I could still post the other images! 

Today I've been lazing around as going to London yesterday really wore me out! I always think I'd like to live in London but it completely drains me, I don't know how you do it Londoners! I (kind of) saw the Triathlon whiz around a few times before heading to the gigantic live screens in Hyde Park to watch the track cycling - hooray for our golds!

I'm now going to watch The Girl who Became Three Boys as it was filling up my timeline last night, it sounds fascinatingly disturbing..

Floral Pleats

Dress: Next (old) | Shoes: Primark | Bracelet: Topshop | Sunglasses: New Look | Nails: Models Own 'Lemon Meringue' 

I'm so excited to be posting my first ever outfit pictures from my new camera! You can see how drastic the change in quality is from my last outfit post! I'm still playing around with the numerous settings and effects, I'm discovering something new everyday. My favourite feature so far is definitely 'Live mode', you can connect the camera up to your laptop so you can see how well the picture's going to come out and where you're pointing the camera - makes outfit posts much easier and you don't have to faff around uploading the pictures as they can go straight onto your computer! Also makes me feel like I'm on BINTM ;) Who's been watching it?

I've had this dress for years now but it still makes an appearance every Summer. I love the pleats and vintagey feel to it, it's light and airy too. I really wanted to wear it with brogues and frilly socks but it's far too hot for socks! Instead I went for my Primark studded loafers which I was ecstatic to find as they only cost £10 rather than the £28 Topshop ones!  

Off to go and catch some more rays (I have some cray cray tan lines) and then take a new set of outfit pictures :)

Trying On

Top: Primark | Skirt: Primark (old) | Shoes: Topshop | Cat Bracelet: New Look | Spike Bracelet: eBay | Nails: Models Own 'Beach Party' and 'Bubblegum'

After my shopping trip to London last week, I had a little trying on session - Oxford Street Primark changing rooms are a massive no no, so it's just routine! I really like this top (I have the parrot one too) but this one just doesn't seem to sit right. The heart is quite stiff and doesn't hang well, which is a shame. 

The skirt is really old now and I was trying to decide whether or not to keep it. I ended up making an outfit out of the two and thought I might as well snap a few pictures. Should I keep the skirt?

I best be off now as I'm going out for dinner soon and I still have a towel on my head! Have a good Saturday night whatever you're doing :)

Bones

Top: Topshop Sale | Skirt: H&M | Tights: Primark | Rings: H&M | Lips: 'Powder Room' | Nails: 'Bubblegum' & 'Beach Party'

I was so pleased to spot this top in the Topshop sale the other day! I snapped it up straight away as I'd contemplated buying it for full price before. I was worried it'd be a a bit 'Halloweeny' but I think the skeletons are cute enough for it not to be. I really like the cut out shoulders and have since bought another cut out shoulder top (outfit soon!) I paired it with my H&M skirt, which is usually reserved for nights out as it's so short! When I bought it I didn't realise it was high waisted! I wore super thick tights with it - basically leggings with feet, and my Converse which I can't get enough of at the moment. 

Not much to report for today, I'm going to start packing later as I'm going camping tomorrow - Rain, if you're reading this GO AWAY NOW! ...I keep watching and looking up the weather but it doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. Looks like another weekend of wearing a waterproof poncho - a.k.a a bin bag as my waterproof can't handle this much rain. Oh so glam.

P.s. Does anyone know how to get rid of those stupid lines in my last photo?
