Strange Patterns





Top New Look, Shorts Asos, Tights Topshop, Boots

Bracelet from my brother for Christmas :) Rings left Vintage, Right Market in Berlin


The last two days have been great, I met up with all my friends that are back in town for the Holidays, it was so lovely seeing everyone again! This was my outfit today, I went sale shopping, I wore flat boots as I knew I would be doing a LOT of walking!
I will post some of my bargains tomorrow as now I just need to sit down before I die of exhaustion!
And about my outfit, I have got shorts on even though it looks like I just have pockets sticking out the bottom of my top!
Oh and just to add one of my Holiday outfits has been featured on Chic-Lux and it would be lovely if you could follow the link and comment about my look so I could win best Holiday look J
Please check it out!

Thunder Only Happens When It’s Raining

fringe jacket market, Jeans NewLook, Vest Topshop, Boots Asos, Ring YSL


necklace from a market in Cyprus


I’ve had this fringe jacket for ages now but I find it hard to wear it gets caught on everything! Through today I thought I would suck it up and wear the thing, its lovely colours and makes quite a statement.
I kept the rest of my outfit simple I didn’t want to look like a Christmas decoration! These boots look lovely but they are little evil foot monsters, they hurt it you stand in them for over 10 minutes, I do still insist on wearing them though!
I’m still locked up in my room doing artwork, although it has been better today because I have rediscovered Fleetwood Mac on my IPod! I’m slightly obsessed by Stevie Nicks’s style!

Big Ass Hat

I hope by now everyone has recovered from Christmas! Today has been a jolt back to reality and everyday life. The boyfriend is back at work and I have been left at home to do some artwork!
Also found out I have Tonsillitis which I am quite upset about, it sucks being ill on the holidays!
Anyway this is my outfit today, featuring some of my Christmas prezzies J
Hat TKMax, Waiscoat New Look, Dress  Primark, Socks Urban Outfitters, Boots Vintage

In motion !

Lots of photos today’s guys, I just really liked the light and the waistcoat! I love it but my boyfriend doesn’t get it.... what do you think?
And just to add I did get a Polaroid camera from my boyfriend (it was on my wish list) but the poor boy couldn't afford to get me film yet so I have to wait for his next pay check (what a lovely) . My parents, I mean Santa, got me the YLS Arty ring in blue which I have been obsessing over for ages, such a lucky girl!

What's this? I can't believe my eyes, I must be dreaming

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I spent the day drinking, eating my weight in food, watching films (we watched my favourite Christmas film "The Nightmare Before Christmas") and going round to see random members of family!
I will start posting properly when things are all more normal, but for now, things that make me feel Christmassy ......









Santa: 'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems in a place perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story you're about to be told began with the holiday worlds of auld. Now you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't I'd say it's time you begun.

Go Stuff Yourself ... Its CHRISTMAS

Its Christmas tomorrow, all the presents are wrapped, the needles on the tree are already starting to fall off and we have 36 homemade mince pies in the oven. Bring on the turkey!
I can’t believe it’s not even Christmas yet and the sales have started! I have kicked started my sale shopping with a pair of Topshop platforms, they were originally £70 but I got them for just £25! Bargain.  (They are in the pictures below)
Top Vintage, shorts Asos, shoes Topshop



I always go a little crazy during the sales and then end up with tonnes of stuff I don’t actually like that much! This year I have decided to:
·         Identify what my wardrobe is missing and try and find only those items in the sale
·         Say to yourself “do I need this? Do I have something similar already?”
·         TRY THINGS ON

It’s a short list but I’m sure these things will help me only buy things I will wear in the future!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE J

Monotone

In preparation for Christmas I decided to clean my wardrobe today! Let me tell you this was a major mission! My wardrobe is practically bursting at the seams, as I don’t like to throw clothes away, as most things always come back into fashion at some point!
It’s been a very boring day! My bf went to work and he should have been back by now but they have made him work an extra two hours. So I have been left to my own devices. Here is a selection of photos from my day so far, clean wardrobe and all.

I threw in a few pictures (above) of my jewellery boards, so many of my friends have said what a great idea they are! I have just bought cork boards and pins and hang all my necklaces, earrings and bangles up, this way I can see them all at once and none of it gets tangled up!
I apologise for all the black and white pictures but that’s just the sort of mood I’m in today! Anyway black and white pictures always have an interesting quality to them, don’t you think?
