Late halloween post :)

Ok, so this halloween I was subjected to the torture of my goth auntie's 50th birthday, meaning that it was spent with my entire family and my cousin, who is also a major goth, and all of her scary friends.... Anyway, this time I decided I would REALLY dress up. I went all venetian masked ball-y, which was brilliant because it had the added benefit of disguising my face, however my mother was determined to make it more halloween like, so on the left is the finish article, complete with cobwebby stuff and white face make up, which seemed to satisfy her....

Also a new discovery- missguided it's not exactly groundbreaking stuff, but it's all very pretty. Anyway, here's a selection of lovely stuff that can be found on there. Firstly these surprisingly dainty worker boots are £29.99.

I also love this schoolgirl-style navy blazer, for £28.99, and this lace crop top is £14.99.

They're also great for rip-offs of more expensive clothes. For example, on our left we have a lovely bodycon dress from Topshop for £32, and on the right is a very similar dress from missguided, for £13.99. You get the idea, I'm sure :)

jewellery's arriveeeeeed :)

so, this post does what it says on the tin: my jewellery has arrived from Love Hearts and Crosses (see previous post) and it's brilliant. I'm so happy with the order, especially because it came free with these extra cute cherry earrings :)

In other news, my sister has rather handily just ordered these little apple studs from Temporary Secretary, which she will let me borrow whether she likes it or not :)
Bye for now! xxx

And more documenting.....

So, today I went a bit crazy and bought LOADS. In my defence, all my items were practical, and I know I'll wear them loads, but I admit it was A LOT of stuff. Ok, so this is what I bought: the jumper from H&M, this checked blazer from the Topshop sale, jeans from Topshop, a scarf from H&M and a tee-dress from Zara which I'll show on here later :)
Also, I want to pass on the beautiful jewellery of Temporary Secretary to my beautiful followers. This is another online jewellery store, which sells literally the cutest jewellery I have ever seen. And it gets better, because there's currently a sale on! Here are some of the things available in the sale:

This rock chick necklace is gorgeous, especially the crown detail, and is £8.00 in the sale!

This super cute handcrafted cake ring is so pretty and is also available in pink, and is also just £8 now!

I adore the clock on this Paris themed necklace, and the Eiffel Tower is adorable, and this necklace is £15 in the sale. Personally (when I manage to somehow earn some more money) I'll be buying all three items, and more!

Documenting more outfits :)

Not much new here, except the cardigan, which is the most comfortable thing ever and from Topshop. However it's very, very light and soon I'm going to have to put it away until next Spring :(. Oh, also is this carousel necklace from Love Hearts and Crosses (I swear I don't actually have that much from this shop, I just have a lot of love for the items) which was only around £3.50 without postage and packaging!

Also, can we just take a moment to talk about the amount of Christmas adverts that are already on our screens! It's still October, and as much as I love it due to the fact that it means it's nearly my birthday, I can't help thinking that last month, it was kind of still Summer! Whatever happened to Autumn?!?

jewellery time :D

Money from yesterday has been burning a whole in my pocket, so I decided it was probably time for me to buy some more jewellery. Here are my purchases: Firstly this beautiful bracelet, which I've been wanting for ages. I love the thorn details, and the pink rose is so pretty. Secondly is this super cool necklace. Both of these items are from Love Hearts and Crosses, if you haven't already, please check out the website (loveheartsandcrosses.co.uk) where you will find some truly gorgeous jewellery and accessories.

Scavenging...

Ok, so as I promised, I have more pictures of my outfits :D On Friday night, I went out for dinner with my family and thought I'd experiment a bit with my hair and make-up. Although the harsh wings don't suit me, I really loved the hair and this photo doesn't really do it justice :D I've also raided my mum's wardrobe again, and found this rather lovely velvet jacket, which is now officially my favourite of all the things i've *ahem* borrowed from my mum.
 Also, today I went into town with my friend and we spent quite a while in H&M. It's one of my favourite shops, because it stocks some really nice, edgy clothes for SUCH good value. I bought this outfit:




















I was surprised about the fact that this bodycon skirt suited me... but it really did :) Both items are from H&M and together cost just £22. Next on my list is this beautiful and extremely comfy jumper, I LOVE the sequined shoulders.

Playing dress up

Half term has now started!! Expect lots more posts for a week, because no school= more time for blogging :)

So today I was stuck in babysitting, and decided I would do a little dressing up as some of my favourite style icons. The end results were.... interesting.... Here are the pictures:

1)  So this is my verrrrry poor version of Alexa Chung's outfit for the Elle Style Awards in 2008.... ok so I may look nothing like her, but I'm quite impressed with my eye make up: this is the first time I've ever used liquid eyeliner so it's not to bad considering :) I'm wearing Primark shooboots, a Topshop dress, a Zara tutu-style skirt (Zara kids actually, it's my little sister's) and a 'oui' necklace from Love Hearts and Crosses.

2) This me copying a Fearne Cotton look. I love Fearne: she was a kids TV presenter when I was growing up, and I loved how she's changed into such a fashion icon. She's a lot more 'rock chick' than Alexa, and I love all union jack designs so this was a great look for me to replicate. I'm wearing Gina shoes (my mum's), Primark leggings and a dress from another Brighton store that can be found online, Juju.

3) Can I firstly just say that it's now October, and this outfit was bloody freezing! I'm the most happy with how this one turned out, except for the bag and the glasses, but I'm definitely getting some heart sunglasses for next year. I'm wearing Topshop high-waisted shorts (hidden), the Gap stripy top, my mum's blazer from Topshop, a Primark clutch and Primark wayfarer-style sunglasses. I have no idea where the bangles are from, I found them in my tights drawer!

4) Ok, so this one is actually RUBBISH. I really love Katy Perry's retro, out there style but not many items in my wardrobe reflect it. I tried to get the sequins in with a year old sequin beanie worn as a beret, and it just looks.... awful. But this dress, from Mama San, I do love, and the corsage is from god knows where!

Well, that's all, I know most of it was awful but it was so much fun! I think I really just need more clothes if I'm going to do this again....
