Camo jacket-Ebay
White blouse-Topshop
Vintage levi shorts
Underground creepers
Necklaces-Topshop

My new Camo jacket, and oh how I love it. It's so versatile and goes with so many outfits, giving even the plainest outfits that edge.
I'm so glad i found it, especially as it wasn't even £20 and I was contemplating on spending nearly £50 on the Urban outfitters one, so i was very happy when i found this:)
I was too lazy to put any makeup on so i decided to wear my new glasses to hide my zombie eyes haha. I'm beginning to have an obsession with rounded glasses, and at some point this week i'm planning on buying more pairs-you can never have too many!

Oh and seeing Drake was one of the most amazing experience ever. I can't get over actually seeing him there in front of me, and especially as i was at the front (YES), it was so weird and surreal! I'm currently trying to get hold of tickets for manchester to try see him again haha, i've got big love!

Mix and match


Flower print blouse-Primark
Printed leggings-Topshop
Double soled white pumps-Vintage


When i saw this top in Primark, I was amazed...and i think everyone else who complemented it today and asked where it was from was too, haha.
It's so much better quality than the usual blouses that you find, which do tend to have a tendency to look 'Primark'?
I really like how the floral print and the blue compliment each other, evoking an oriental feeling.I paired it with these leggings as i love mixing prints and i think this combination creates quite a bold look :)
Oh and my camo jacket and 60's round glasses came today, eeep!

I really love how well these colours work together, with the different shades of pink from the light faded floral leggings to the pink tonal variations in the sweatshirt. I think it's a cute take on this seasons up and coming trends :)

Oh and..........I'M SEEING DRAKE ON THURSDAY!!

Long live Alexander McQueen


Vintage blue acid wash levi denim jacket
Alexander Mcqueen print top - (got it from the clothes show!)
Black sheer skirt-Vintage
Black leather belt-Vintage
Black chelsea boots-Vintage


Okay, so some may say vintage overload.
I find that there's something so much more special about vintage clothes? Especially that buzz you get out of finding amazing pieces.
I got this vintage jacket online and i'm so glad i did, i get so much wear out of it. I'd definitley invest in one if you dont have one of these denim beauties! 
I paired it with my Alexander McQueen print top and a black sheer chiffon skirt for a chilled look, perfect to go sit outside in this new sunshine we're having and do art :)  
Last night, I made a couple of cheeky online purchases- a vintage camo jacket and some 60's round sunglasses. I'm supposed to be saving, but i've been wanting them for ages and temptation got the better of me. So they'll soon be featured in future posts:)

Oh and thankyou to everyone who reads my blog and follows, it means a lot!

Bless your cotton socks


White shirt-Tommy Hilfiger
Black furry threaded top-I got it from clothes show live
Red and white striped shorts-Topshop
Creepers-Underground

I love these shorts, they remind me so much of candy canes, whilst the little white socks remind me of primary school days, haha.
I decided to mix it up a little bit, by wearing these shorts to add interest to what wouldv'e essentially just been a plain black and white outfit.

Sorry for the short post, i have a mountain of work to tackle!

Print on Print


Zigzag printed shirt-Thrift
Leopard print top-Topshop
Matte look leggings-Miss selfridge
Creepers-Underground


I got the printed shirt from a thrift type market in Barbados (yes, i love clothes that much i actually found the time to go searching around all the thrift markets whilst being in the carribean). I love mixing prints, and i thought it works really well with the Leopard print.
I'm also aware that i wear matte look leggings too much, i have so many pairs, and they just go with so much. But i am going to try to start wearing other things, especially as it get's warmer. And also come summer, it gives me an excuse to go on a vintage shorts shopping spree(even though i probably have enough pairs already) haha.

Aztec & Denim


Vintage Acid wash levi denim jacket-Etsy
Aztec pocket tee
Matte leggings-Miss selfridge
Creepers-Underground
Bag-Nine West

I just love this denim jacket, it goes so well with so many things, and brings that edge to an outfit. I wore this to go out in yesterday. Simple, but i like it :)
Today i have got so much to do, so i purposefully got up early to start, whilst finding the time to quickly blog! However, I can't find my evaluation sheet which i need for textiles so that's not so great.
If anyone has LOOKBOOK, please feel free to hype/fan me :)

Electric Blue


White shirt-Charity shop
Electric blue skirt-Primark
Creepers-Underground


I couldn't sleep, so i figured i'd just get up and do yesterdays outfit post:)
I love the colour of this skirt, and how it brings so much interest to a simple outfit. I also love the way it's pleated, giving the skirt that further edge. Well done Primark.
Yesterday we were looking at uni courses, and i've never been able to find the exact course that i've been wanting to do, but yesterday in careers I found it! Which resulted in a happy me.
Tonight i'm going to leeds to see my boyfriend so today's outfit post will have to wait till tomorrow (if i get time to do one that is)

Grandad Jumper & velvet leggings


White shirt-Topshop
Jumper-Vintage
Velvet leggings-Primark
Creepers-Underground

Just another quick outfit post of what i wore today:). A chilled outfit for school, in my opinion you can never have too many grandad jumpers! haha.
I'm getting so much work lately, and the thought of exams coming up isn't helping. Stress levels are high! Also, there's so many things that i want and i have barely any money..why does it always have to work like that?
Anyway, I now have a history essay to finish, booo.

Faux Fur leopard coat-New Look
Studded turquoise shirt-Charity shop/DIY
Matte leggings-Miss selfridge

Decided to keep it short and sweet and do a quick outfit post. I simply love the leopard print against the turquoise/blue colour of the shirt, i think they compliment each other really well:)

Ruby red lips and Velvet

Velvet shirt-Vintage
Orange skirt-H&M
Leather belt-Vintage
Peace Necklace
Don't you just love this shirt? I love the velvet pattern and how it creates different textures across the shirt. Another added bonus is that velvet is becoming more and more popular this season, and this piece is just unique and perfect.
I decided to be daring, and teamed it with the orange body con skirt i got from H&M in the sale for £2...yes you heard, £2. I thought that in doing so, it would create an outfit of interest with the textured top against the bolder orange.
Today i've just been at school. And in the midst of sitting back and working hard in my history lesson *cough* i came up with some good ideas for my online store, so i can't wait to get to work with that!

Today i've been at work all day, and i'm feeling so tired; really can't wait to get into bed tonight.
But in the mean time i'm going to sit and read blogs/explore LookBook:)

Leave the Boy Alone


Top-Boy London
Blue Vintage acid wash Levi denim jacket-Etsy
Matte leggings- Miss Selfridge
Creepers-Underground


After getting home from school, i took the time to take some photo's of today's outfit, and can i just say that i am in love with this top! Oh and sorry for the big heap of clothes, haha.
I'm really into the grungey look at the moment. Well, saying that, i'd say my taste/style is becoming very eclectic. The next think on my wish list is a pair of Nike Air max 1's....get my point now? haha.
Today has been rather stressful in terms of lessons. We are currently having a 5 hour exam in art to see how much/what we can do during that time. And i don't know why, but i can't do art well in school at all. Everything just seems to turn out the exact opposite of how i want it to?, Which results in me being in a bad mood. Today we also had a talk about university, and how we can learn to manage our money properly to last us the year; which was very insightful/useful. However i'm not liking the price of Uni fees!

Vintage & Corduroy


Vintage Cardigan
Pink corduroy studded shirt- Charity shop/DIY
Matte leggings-Miss Selfridge
Creepers-Underground

Sorry for the bad quality photos.
My attempt at trying to save money failed. After school today i bought some lovely red and white striped shorts from Topshop, which i've been thinking about buying for quite a while and never really knew if i should or not. And after my friend (who works in Topshop) told me to buy them, and after thinking of all the things i could wear them with, i gave in...as always! haha. I also decided to buy some more makeup. Recently, i dont really like the extra orange facial tone i seem to have adopted; so i bought some paler foundation, a more natural blusher and a new liquid eyeliner, all No7.
Tonight i plan to do nothing other than english coursework. The final deadline is next week and i have yet to re-write one of my pieces, urrgh.

Sheer Blouse and Striped Shorts


White Chiffon Blouse- Topshop
Striped high waisted shorts-Blue rinse
Creepers-Underground


I feel so tired yet i've had a pretty chilled day? ah well. I decided to do a quick outfit post as i'm trying to blog as much as i possibly can:)
This morning i had the difficult situation of not knowing what to wear for school. Y'know when you've got quite alot of clothes, but it feels like you have non and you just rant and moan about how you 'need' more clothes? well it was one of those mornings! I must of changed my outfit at least 3 times.
At the moment, it feels like the work i'm getting is never ending. This evening i plan to do some history revision and then attempt to do some English coursework. Whether or not i'll actually get it done is a different story haha.
If anyone has LOOKBOOK feel free to fan/hype me, would be much appreciated :)

Fur Simplicity


Fur Gilet- Good old, M&S
Cream knitted sweat-Topshop
Turqouise/Blue studded shirt-Charity shop/DIY
Matte Leggings-Miss selfridge
-Although you can't see, i'm wearing black chelsea boots, which i got from a riding shop when i used to ride, the boots are so much better quality than ones from the high street!


Just a quick outfit post. I've been doing art all day, so it's a rather simple outfit, but heyy.
My plan of trying to save money for a while failed. First, last night, i was browsing my tumblr and saw a photo of a beautiful aztec pocket tee, which, is a style i've been thinking of getting for a while, and when i saw that i just gave in and bought one. Besides, it was only £10, bargain ey! My second guilty(well, not so guilty) internet purchase was on a BOY London T-shirt. I've been thinking of getting one for aaages, but never really knew whether to buy one at the time or not, and so i just
carried on procrastinating. Then, after watching Jonathon Ross last night and seeing Rihanna dressed head to toe in the brand, it would no doubt be completely sold out in a matter of days, so i decided to go ahead and make the purchase haha.  
This evening i'm going to some family friends for dinner and no doubt will have to carry on with the mountain of work i have after, boo.

Mohair and Leather

  

Aviator Jacket-H&M
Mohair Jumper-Vintage
White Blouse-Topshop
Leather Panal leggings- Topshop
Creepers-Underground

This is what i wore to school today- despite there being a sudden outburst of sunshine and it being rather warm, which meant i had to take the jacket off when walking home but heyyy.
I love this mohair jumper, I love the way the print looks almost leopardish? I paired it with my leather panal's which i used to wear alllll the time, as they go with so much, and they bring a lot more interest to an outfit, rather than plain black leggings. I stopped wearing them as much when loads of people started getting them and wearing them in my school, haha i'm like that, i don't like wearing clothes that everyone else wears.
Recently i've had people ask me about what clothes they should get/how to wear them, which i love! So if anyone who reads my blog and has any questions or wants some help, feel free to ask :)
