Funny Looking Angels

Jacket - vintage 

Dress- Topshop

Converse - Office

Lipstick - Revlon Black Cherry 

You may or may not remember me...it's been a while...

This is not only my first post of 2015 but also my first post for the last 6 months or so, whoop! If you're interested to know what I've been up to, check out my Youtube channel for a little update video which will be coming shortly!

But you've not come to hear about life and general mundane waffle...let's cut to the chase and get down to the clothes...

Now stop me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure I do say this about 99% of the outfits I blog, but I really mean it this time...this outfit is my ABSOLUTE DREAM. It's grungy, girlie, practical and a little bit sassy all at once! 

The dress was a bargain in the Topshop sale a couple of years ago. It's an absolute fairytale of lace and chiffon with a high neck, but for someone with a reasonable bosom and gut, it's definitely got the potential to turn you from floaty fairy to bundled up pudding...! 

To err on the side of caution and avoid any pudding-style scenarios I paired it with this oversized denim jacket, converse and gothic lip. The whole look just seems to pull together into a satisfying eclectic mash that would be perfect for pretty much any occasion from work to play!

Video: Blackpool VLOG/3 Minute Make Up Fail/October Primark Haul

Busy weekends and minimal daylight mean that I've had absolutely no time at all to take outfit photos recently. I've planned a mega session this weekend and am going to devote two days to shooting 5 outfits and making 3 videos...wish me luck!

In the meantime I've been committing myself to doing at least one youtube video a week...check my most recent ones out here!

Get Ready With Me: Saturday Errands

Soooooo, it's been a while...long time no see. 

Doing blog posts has been a bit tricky of late as I have not only been ridiculously busy on the weekends (blah blah blah) but my boyfriend decided to take a trip to Thailand for the month. How very selfish of him to head off to the sunshine and leave me in the lurch sans photographer?! 

I promise regular blogging will resume when everything gets back to normal, but in the meantime I am trying to do at least one video a week on my youtube channel! My most recent vid is a foray into the beauty world and I did a little "get ready with me" film which you can check out HERE. 

Hope you're all well and thanks for bearing with me!

OOTN: Evening Sun

The other night I headed out to watch my friend's band play their first ever gig! They were incredible and it was a wicked night full of dancing and jagerbombbbbbbs!

I wanted a cool layered outfit with edgy accessories and came up with this gothic little number...

\

Dress - H&M 

Faux Leather Gilet - Primark DIY

Boots - Topshop "Attitude" boots via Ebay

Clutch - Matalan

I love this outfit! It's so versatile and easy to wear for all sorts of different occasions - you could swap the boots for flats and make it far more casual looking or lose the gilet and pile on a big wooly cardigan instead. 

H&M were doing these simple shift style dresses in a huge range of colours last year and I've got my fingers crossed they'll bring them back this year so I can stock up!

Clutch - HERE

For me, the main talking point (and probably least expensive bit of this outfit) is this beaut of a clutch from Matalan...for £14...holy moley. 

It's ikat/aztec printed, embroidered with tiny orange and gold beads and the perfect size to store all the essentials for a good night out. I dithered over buying it for a couple of weeks as I have so many clutch bags I never use, and then posted it on Instagram for an opinion. Everyone said "buy" and when I popped in to have a nose round, there was only one left in the store...hello fate, thanks for that!

What do you think of this outfit?

OOTD: Greensleeves

Who doesn't love a lark in the park on a Sunday?!

Fisherman Jumper - Matalan 

Shorts - River Island (old)

Pumps- Primark similar HERE

Winter on the top, summer on the bottom - kind of perfect for this changeable weather!

TMLP Barry M Lipstick - buy HERE

The lipstick I'm wearing is my latest obsession, the new Barry M "Touch of Magic" lip paint. 

It's bright green in colour in the tube but once on your lips turns a bright pink colour...abracadabra..."you're a wizard Harry!" Retailing at just under £5 I would recommend it just for the novelty alone to be honest but the flash of colour adds an interesting touch to even the most boring of outfits

It goes on a bright fuchsia kind of colour which grows darker for about 5 - 10 minutes and has a matte finish. As someone who doesn't suit bright lip colours, this one is perfect for me as it adapts slightly to suit your skin tone and looks good on absolutely everyone! 

Check it ouuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttt

Would love to know if any of you have tried this or similar "magic" lipsticks!

OOTD: 21st Birthday!

It was my little sister's 21st birthday on Saturday, where has the time gone? Swear she only turned 18 last year!

We all went down to take her out for a grown up lunch in Bristol. She's bang in the middle of exams at the moment so the mega birthday blow out will have to be postponed 'til June sadly!

Coat - Ebay 

Top - New Look (previous post)

High waisted jeans - Topshop

Boots - Ebay

Bag - Matalan (only got the white ones left online but I'm pretty sure that the black ones are still available in stores)

Nail Varnish - Barry M Gelly in "Satsuma"

Rings - Forever 21, my shop, New Zealand, birthday gift

Totally in love with my NL breton tops that I featured in a previous post, they're so comfy and versatile! 

My coat is a Zara wannabe from Ebay - it is a pretty good replica and I'm happy with the way it looks but the materials used are very plasticky (definitely prone to sweating if it's a little warm) and the delivery time from China was over month...but for a fraction of the price of the real thing I guess I can't really complain!

Had a lovely three course meal down at the harbour side and had a little wander round Bristol to help our food digest! It's such a wicked city and definitely worth a visit if you haven't been before. Groups of students in fancy dress getting rattered at 2pm...my kind of place!

Can't believe she's 21!!

Do check out my Primark Haul video I made the other day and let me know what you think, if you haven't already - click here for link

I got some proper pictures done for this outfit post. What do you think?

Hope you all had a lovely weekend

OOTD: Kiss Me Quick

Ahooooooooooooooy there! Felt like I should have been wearing a sailors cap with this jolly little outfit. 

T shirt - New Look 

Skirt - New Look

Tights - COS

Boots - Primark 

Lipstick - "Plum" Forever 21

Necklace - Morrocco

Look at my crazy happy face!! I picked up 2 of these long sleeved Breton tops when there was a "2 for £8" deal on and this little denim look skirt was only £15 - hell yessssss! 

If you haven't been into New Look for a while you really should pop in and have a mooch round. They've got some lovely stuff in stock at the moment and it seems as though the days of scattered diamante all over everything are gone thank goodness. 

This felt like a very summery/nautical little look especially paired with my burgundy Primarni boots but sadly the weather didn't hold out and I was changed back into my onesie pretty quickly after these pictures were taken. 

Hope you're all getting super excited about the weekend

OOTN: Black As Night

Oh hey there Friday night outfit...

Crop top - Topshop

Jamie jeans - Topshop

Ankle boots - New Look (sale)

Lipstick - Pom Pom by Soap and Glory 

Necklace - Primark 

Oh ma Lawd I am sooooo in love with with this lipstick! Saw it recommended by Sammi from Beauty Crush  and had to check it out. The colour is a beautiful raspberry hue with a matte finish and it smells incredibleeeeeeee...nom nom nommmmm...

Primark have some absolutely amazing bits in store at the moment and I picked up this little rainbow number for £3 the other day! Just love the way it adds a pop of colour to this outfit and for such a diddy price it's a welcome addition to my wardrobe.

I wore this outfit for a girlie night out on Friday night and it's safe to say a good night was had by all...

Hope you're all well and had a wicked weekend
