As per, a quick outfit for you!

cut-outs

Hello, 

Just another quick ootd for you all - should probably apologise for the number of appearances this skirt is making on my blog, but eh, I'm OBSESSED.. anyways, on with the outfit- hope you can take some ideas/inspiration from it!

Top- newlook £7-ish, love the cut outs on the shoulder,  which give this basic a bit of 'oomph'

Skirt- brandy melville £28 (or there abouts..), definately a staple!

Tights- primark £2.50, loveeee the design, and the 'over knee' design is so flattering..

Although you cant see my shoes, I am wearing my navy blue docs :)

got that festival feeling..

Holaa,

This outfit was inspired by the slight appearance of the sun, giving me that festival/boho feeling! As summer & festival season is coming up, maybe you can take some ideas from this quick ootd?

Top- h&m (in stores now, £14.99, i think!)

Skirt- UO (sale a few years ago)

Shoes- primark (in stores now, £4)

Jacket- primark (from a few years ago..)

My makeup is my everyday makeup & i slightly straightened my hair (yes, i've had a chop!)

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

Hola..

Here's another quick OOTD for you- The sun made a slight appearance so brought out some spring/summer in my outfit. 

  As this is a travelling outfit, I haven't put any jewellery on (would usually go with my usual gold rings & chain). Also, would wear my leather jacket over the top.

Top: Brandy Melville 

Skirt- (? ..unsure sorry! it actually belongs to my sister)

Tights- Primark

Shoes-Cherry Red Doc Martens

crazy trousers

Hola!

I put this look together for an interview- I think its a good mix of standing out, but with a slight touch of formality.. hope you like it and can take some inspiration from it :) 

The trousers are from Tesco (I was just as suprised to find them in there!) and were £16. Although they're a pretty crazy print, because they're monochrome they are still easy to style and don't look TOO over the top.

The top is from H&M and was about £8. I love that it just looks like a plain black top, but then the sleeves are mesh with velvet polkadots. Its suchan effective touch, and jazzes up something that would otherwise be abit plain.

My shoes are patent, black, doc marten look-a-likes by Rocket Dog and I picked them up from TK Maxx for about £20 - a proper bargain!

I finished the look with my James Pringle 'Black Watch' tartan scarf, Dorothy Perkins faux-fur collared leather jacket, a navy bow from Claire's and my standard gold jewellery.

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!! :)

black on black

Holaaa ...firstly, a HUGE sorry for the lack of posts, but going to try my hardest to get back in the swing of it while I have no exams!! (for now anyways, hahaha)

Dress (actually an oversized tee), £8, Monki
Cream socks (agesss agoooo), Topshop
Grey Hoodie, £15, Topshop
Leather Jacket, £55, Dorothy Perkins
Oxblood Docs, £70 (or so), jamesandjames (i think..hhaha)

Lips- Topshop's 'Inhibition', £8 (i think...)

gothic-esque pastels.

hola! I have another look for you.. this is such a simple outfit yet I love the overall look of it-  a bit gothic, a bit grunge, but definetly not too ott!!

my black tube dress (it has capped sleeves) was about £7 from h&m.
my tights were £3 in a topshop sale (the only thing I dislike about these is that they're footless & they ladder SO easily but anyways, they look good..)
my pastel/baby blue crochet cardi was my grandma's ...i think the little glimpse of it that you get helps make this outfit more wearable, and also breaks up the black.
my trusty leather jacket with faux fur collar was £55 from dorothy perkins
my chain was £6 (i think!) in the topshop sale..the flash of pastel pink is different to other chains and ia perfect for adding a touch of.colour
my socks was £2.50 from primark.
my white converse-style flatforms were £15 from ebay.. they are slightly uncomfortable at first as they have a slightly too rounded toe, but its alright! haha

i wore this looks with dark brows, a simple eye (no shadow, thin eyeliner with small flick & a few layers of mascara), vampy lip (revlon's kissable balm stain in 'cruah begun' & topshop's 'inhibition' lipstick) and straight, messy, quiffed hair - simple yet fitting for the look!!

studs, spots & tie-dye

hola, i have another quick outfit for you.. this is another casual college look & i paired it with my trusty leather jacket for warmth :)

shirt- h&m
dress- topshop (was white, longer & sleeved but i gave it a chop & a dye!)
tights- present from italy
jumper- topshop (i put the studs on it)
navy blue docs- ebay

spitalfields skirt ootd

holaa- hope this gives you some inspiration for when you have no clue what to put on in the morning. This outfit looks put together, but it is simple & would be easy to recreate with similar pieces ..enjoy!

sheer shirt, with collar tips -topshop
geek jumper - topshop
skirt - spitalfields market
tights - gift
oxblood docs
lips: rimmel 'black tulip' lip pencil & topshop 'inhibition' lipstick :)

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

burgundy bodycon ootd

Holaaaa, as exams are over I intend to get back into the routine of blogging, starting with a quick ootd :)

My jumper is primark mens- there was a thick elastic band at the bottom but i gave that the chop! (i think it was £7)

My leather jacket with faux-fur collar is from dorothy perkins (£55. but i got 15% student discount, boom)

My skirt is from primark & i loved the ribbed/textured detailing on it..its also fairly thick material which is always good! (£3-4)

I'm a sucker for patterned tights anyway, but I adore this pair! Although they're 'hole-y' for me they haven't laddered nor got any extra holes in! (I think i got them for £1.50 from a charity shop near my gramps)

My shoes are my leopard print creepers from newlook. I hated creepers with a passion but I've grown to love them! (£10, new look sale)

My socks are the famous topshop ankle,frilly jobs. I love the look of the 'tough' shoes with a cute, girly pair of socks. I also love the slight hint of khaki with this look. especially next to the leopard print (Topshop £3.50 or 3 for £8)

My sheer shirt is from topshop and i was drawn to the detailing on the collar- a simple but effective was to bring an outfit together (£36..i think haha)

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 :)

Baroque MTV?!?!

Hola, another quick/simple ootd.. I like looking at people's daily outfits for ideas, so even if I don't have the exact same clothing items as they're wearing I can think of similar ones I own and can go from there...hopefully I can give some of you some inspiration if you're in a rush and just can't think of what to wear one day, hahah!!

MTV Jumper, River Island, (£10 sale) ..its a size 16 but I personally prefer my jumpers baggy. I was so happy to find this design as SO many people had the MTV clothing but I hadnt seen anyone with this particular print :)

Leggings, H&M Kids, (£6, few years agp) ..you cant see in this picture but they're actually very subtle leopard print, in different shades of grey. It adds something to this outfit so its not boring, but not so much it becomes un-casual (if thats even a word...)

Navy Blue Docs, (£15, Ebay....BOOM!!) ..I adore my docs..they go with everything and I especially like this colour against the grey leggings; the patent finish also adds another texture to the look :)

Chain, Topshop (£6, sale) ..i love the 3 different colours within this particular chain making it more versatile & meaning it goes with more outfits (duhh..haha)

Leather & Lycra

Quick ootd..today I did a bit more christmas shopping and this outfit was perfect for it as it was casual & lightweight to wear, but kept me nice and snug!! My makeup is my usual base/simple eyes (although I swapped my loreal true match foundation for a maybelline bb cream, to give my skin a bit of a break!) & on my lips is rimmel's 'spice' lipliner & 'heather shimmer' lipstick :)

Outfit
Topshop disco pants, £30
Dorothy Perkins Leather Jacket (with faux fur collar), £55
Primark gold/oatmeal flecked lightweight jumper, £6
H&M charcoal scarf, £12 (or there-abouts!)
Cherry Red Docs, £70

Hope you liked this look & it gave you some inspiration if youre stuck for ideas! :)
