summer grunge

Hello againnn..

I have another quick ootd for you- this is one of my most worn outfits with (probably) my most worn piece.. This outfit is such a go-to for me, as it looks so put together but it takes seconds to throw on and is so comfortable, layer-able (?) & just trustworthy...hahaha

My dress is from h&m about a year ago, so although you can't get this exact one anymore I always see similar styles in there. 

My tights were from the Accessorize sale a few years ago- I love the tights they have in there, and they are always reduced massively in the sale (this pair was £4 down from £12!) 

My plaid shirt was a present, but I know it came from a vintage shop in Bath...but, I'm pretty sure you can pick up a plaid shirt from any shop these days :)

My shoes were a primark bargain (I think £4..or there abouts) and they are suprisingly comfy as Primark shoes go ..defo worth picking a pair up!

My makeup is my usual everyday eye makeup using the naked3 palette, and i have Revlon's 'mauve it over' from their matte lipstick range on.

updateee

hiiii,

Thought i'd just do a quick update to let you know a few recent changes which are pretty exciting;

I have been accepted as a Fashion & Social Media apprentice with a company in London (wahhhh shrbgisajbdfksjbdf!!) For me, who has wanted a career in fashion for a LONG time this is the most exciting thing that could ever happen to me, especially as 

#1. As I didn't go to uni, I pretty much got told to kiss goodbye to any dreams of having a career in the fashion industry.. so glad I didn't give up.

#2. In my previous job I was becoming pretty unhappy; feeling like I wasn't getting anywhere in life/feeling trapped etc, so to then have this opportunity is amazing and so exciting.

Uploading a much may become a little tricky, but I will try my hardest!! Also, apologies for the lack of posting over the past week but I hope that (^) explains why :)

Lots of loveeeee 

Shorts & Sparkles

Holaaaa.. This outfit is for a family party- obviously, you want to look nice but not too OTT

Top: Monki (£8 sale)
Shorts: Topshop (£34-ish)
Tights: Tesco (£1.50 sale)

For my makeup I used the bourjois 123 foundation (with collection & loreal true match concealers), my naked pallette (naked all over the lid, sidecar on the outer half, toasted over that taken up a little higher, smog in the outer third crease & sin in my inner corner & dragged underneath). I used my sleek brow kit, contour kit and my revlon nearly naked pressed powder. I used my loreal superliner & maybelline rocket with bodycollection voluminising mascara. I lined my lips with rimmel's 'spiced' pencil, then with their 'one of a kind' lipstick and finally with loreal's glossy stain in 'milady'.

Hope you like it!! :)

monochrome midi ootd

hola, another quick ootd! I like this look because it looks chic and elegant, but also casual and edgy- my perfect combination!!
   I think this look would look good with a topknot, but i felt like messy-straight-alexa-chung-esque hair today.. I also paired this look with simple winged eye makeup & then a bold coral lip (Revlon's 'Kiss Me Coral') & a bright orange/coral nailpolish (cant remember the brand but was only 99p from bodycare!!- if you want to know what it was comment & i'll find out for you)

My striped midi dress is from new look (£12.99....or there abouts). I love how the simple monochrome stripes can make an outfit so much more interesting, as well as the slight turtle-neck collar.
   My cream jumper with the studded detailing on the shoulder was £25 in the topshop sale.. it is a good thickness & hangs perfectly.
   My socks were £2.50 from primark and oh my gosh they are so soft and warm and cute!!! (Obviously, you could wear tights also, but it was a bit warmer today & I just couldn't be bothered with the faff!)
   My leather jacket which you've all seen before was £55 from dotty p's- it's such a versatile piece and was one of my best investments.
   I paired my oxblood docs with this look as they keep my feet warm, and just look amazing with everything..basically..

Hope you like this outfit and can take some inspiration from it! xxx

Knits & Bolts OOTD

Holaaa, I have another quick OOTD for you :)

   - today was my first day back at college after christmas (boooo, sadface!) and I felt like a simple & cosy outfit that didn't take much thinking and was comfy. As you'll see, this outfit would be easy to recreate if you have similar pieces in your wardrobe (which I'm sure most people would) and is easy to throw on if you're a tad short for time in the mornings!! 

Ps. I do have a black bodycon skirt underneath the jumper, just before you think otherwise!!!

Oversized, thick-knit jumper: Urban Outfitters, £50 (last season)

Burgundy beanie, Newlook, £5 (I'm quite sure they are in the sale at the moment so go grab one!!)

Lightening bolt tights: -unknown-

Grey frilly socks, Topshop, £3.50 or 3 for £8

Leopard print creepers, New Look, £10 (sale)

I wore this look with simple eyemakeup; Urban Decay's 'Sidekick' all over the lid with a very light touch of 'Smog' in the crease, finished with a thin sweep of eyeliner & brush of mascara & then a bold lip; Revlon's kissable balm stain in 'Crush Begun' and Topshop's 'Inhibition' Lipstick :)
