Away So Long? Back So Soon?

SO sorry I have being away so long. I have started my second year of University at LJMU and it's just being manic, work this, work that.. CANNOT cope! So I have some free time and have just finished my latest project at university that I would love to share with you all!

This is a small proportion of some images created from the projects on my course that I am taking part in at the moment. 

[Cat Eye Sunglasses - Boohoo]

[Sunglasses - Moschino]

[Fur Coat - Select]

[White Dress - ASOS]

[Stripe Blazer - Lavish Alive]

[Black Dress - ASOS]

[Barely There Heels - New Look]

Most things for this shoot I have collected over the past year which was great for this shoot. I wanted to get a formal event day look which I think I achieved well. I love the pink theme as it can be used for both SS and AW especially as pastel pink it totally a main colour for SS16 and I just can't WAIT!..

Hopefully I will be posting a bit more frequently as soon as I get myself into a better routine! 

Hope you enjoyed my pretty pictures! can't wait to get posting for you all again!

CONVERSE

[Top - Primark (SALE £2)]

[Skirt - Primark (SALE £5)]

[Belt - Primark]

[Shoes - Converse - Schuh]

[Bag - Primark (SALE £1)]

Sorry for not posting as much as I should, working at Primark 5 days a week takes up more of my time than I thought. I can't moan though, they pay for my shopping addiction! Working there also has it's up's, especially when working on the returns desk as I get to see all the returns that have gone in the sale for me to get my mits on! I got a pair of gorgeous mules for £3 reduced from £14 but unfortunately they were too big and had to get rid of them. I have a photo of them on my instagram (annahodgson) 

I've been wanting a pair of xx hi converse for so long but haven't had the spare £60 to get them from Schuh, so after traipsing depop and ebay for a few weeks I finally found some for only £27 almost brand new in box! So yeah I obviously snapped them up! Over half price for shoes that have been worn twice at most! I AM OVER THE MOON <3 

I paired them with this white denim skirt from Primark. I was excited for these to go in the sale for £5 because in Topshop it's so much more expensive.. why pay? especially when every time you save you can get something else! The nude top I've also put with it I really love because it's slightly ribbed and looks really nice. It would also go with black jeans and would look fab! And finally the £1 bag from Primark, a 3 compartment snakeskin bag that can be worn as a clutch, a handbag and a shoulder bag! How amazing is that, talk about multi - use! 

This outfit has some 70's twangs such as the skirt and the height of the shoes, not forgetting the snake skin! but with a new twist on it, possibly posh goth looking with the converse!

These shoes are as comfy as I ever thought and go with so much more than I imagined them too.  I can't wait to give them a proper go out and see what else they go with!!

THE NEW VINTAGE ORANGE SUIT... MY COLOUR? HELP!

So today I visited my favourite Age UK charity shop today down Holderness Road in Hull and discovered this beauty! I've been looking recently in places like Topshop and Zara for casual/nice looking trousers and jacket suits, I've seen some nice ones really but the price of some are a bit off putting, especially with how fast fashion is nowadays and how my job/student loan is the tiniest thing ever. Anyone else in my shoes will understand my frustration at the fact there is so many nice clothes out there but when you have no money to cover it or even if you do, the fact you have to ration what you can buy per month is so off putting! I WISH LIKE EVERYONE THAT MONEY GREW ON TREES!

but back to today's find, I spent a whole £4.50 in the charity shop today on 5 items in total! I was able to get a baby pink adidas top, a Dolce and Gabanna top, a 90's sequin style strappy top and this two piece suit! All the tops we're £1 and the suit was £1.50.  I will post photos of the other things I bought today in another post when I have found out what I can style them with! But nevertheless an absolute bargain if I do say so myself. Oh and to top it off I went to the shop around the corner and got a almost brand new pair of lilac converse for £5! FIVE POUNDS! yep thats exactly what I thought too!

I just styled this suit with a simple black cami as I don't intend on taking it off when it's worn as it's quite thin which is a good thing for summer! To match my black cami these gorgeous black flatform slip ons fro Topshop work perfectly with the short legged trousers! and they're now in the sale only £15!! I would recommend getting a size or 2 bigger though because of they style, I had to get a size 8! Odd I know as I am only a size 6 but an 8! damn! but still they look uber lovely on my tootsies! 

I am unsure if it goes with my back to blue hair! but I aren't sure I mind too much because I just love the suit and it's so comfy! Also it just proves how amazing charity shops can be! As I say I will be posting more about the other items I bought in another post so keep your eyes peeled!!

Feel free to comment! 

PEACE!

TWO BIG VINTAGE BUYS! SUMMER GEMS

[Swimsuit - Vintage]

[Lilac Duster Coat - Age UK]

[Flatform Sliders - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

So as you may know on a Wednesday morning I like to go to Walton Street Market to see if I can get any bargains for summer and for my growing wardrobe! I went this Wednesday and my favourite stall/man wasn't even there which made me the MOST sad! So to cheer myself up I took a trip to my favourite charity shops and some of them in Hull have vintage sections which is so good! I found these bargains and I was so overwhelmed! This gorgeous vintage swimsuit was from the vintage part and omg took me by surprise, I didn't even take time to look at it or try it on, it was just love at first sight and I had to have it! It has an amazing plunge type neckline and a low back! It's also such a bright vibrant pattern, so this summer! Would look amazing with some shorts or even a cute black zip up bodycon skirt but mostly with some GORG velvet lace up shorts from somewhere like dolls kill! although right now they're all sold out! :( 

As for the duster coat it was from my all time favourite charity shop which is the AGE UK discount shop on Holderness Road! NOTHING is more than £2 in there, whether it be shoes, bags, coats etc... AMAZING! and this little beauty was only £1.50 and I love it! I can't wait to take it to Germany with me next week! It's not coming off! I think it would compliment black skinny jeans perfectly with a nice white raglan or something similar it would be the cutest! even by the pool this little ensemble would be perfect!

I think I should literally be crowned Hull's biggest bargain queen! maybe even the UK's especially with clothes I seem to just find the bargains everywhere! Maybe it;s just the fact that Hull is so cheap for EVERYTHING!  

Hope you love this outfit as much as I do and feel free to comment on what you think! 

Thank you for reading! 

PEACE!

REVIEWING NEW COLOUR FREEDOM + PASTELISER! HAIR CHANGE!

I'm I've had so many compliments on my hair colours that have had this past year and thought it would be quite a useful thing for people if I did a small blog post/review on colours that I am trying out. 

This one is new-ish in superdrug and I've only just decided to try it because I am too addicted to my bleach london because I trust it with my life! <3<3<3 (FAN GIRL MOMENT) 

This one caught my eye because it looks as though you get a bit more control over what colour you can go. The two boxes are hair dye and the colourful tube is a "pasteliser" which turns the vivid colour into a pastel colour! So really I can decide the shade of purple I want. I thought it would be good to go purple as at the moment I am lilac anyway so it should just compliment what I already have on my hair. The tubes that contain the colours are quite big so I may get a few goes out of them! I did buy 2 though because it was buy one get one free and the same with the pasteliser but I got toner free instead because I have a few golden bits that need to be gone for this to work best! These are all £6.99 each so on the deal all for £12.99 when it's meant to be over £20 for all 4 items I bought is really good, so check out the superdrug website or your nearest stores for the details on the hair dying offers! 

I am excited to use this because I am such a big lover of hair dying that it anything like this excites me. I've been dying my hair all colours since I was about 14 years old so it's seen a lot of colour and a lot of dye in its time but what can I say, IM ADDICTED TO HAIR DYE!

                  

                  

So I read the instructions, and mixed what I thought was correct kind of and then put it on my hair. After half an hour I took it off thinking it would be a nice toned down purple colour more lilacy nice and light... 

Well..

I've never been so wrong in my life, I came out of the shower to this..!

The shade so far away from lilac it's unreal, I let out a little scream when I was looking at it after the shower, not what I expected at all! 

Dry wasn't much lighter either! Still gobsmacked this morning I am very concerned about my hair because I wanted light hair, maybe I mis read the inscriptions or mixed wrong but whatever I did, don't do if you don't want live XXL vibrant hair! I'm going to continue to wash with both washing up liquid and anti dandruff shampoo to lighten it back up because it just so doesn't suit me! 

I washed it a bit more though this morning with the washing up liquid and SO much purple foam came off but not much has lightened but I will carry on and keep you posted with my progress. If I mixed it right and didn't keep it on for long I think it would be a LOVELY colour, I aren't giving up yet, and I will be writing more parts to this blog post for this dye so keep your eyes peeled! 

If you have any comments of how to lighten hair another way but not bleaching please comment as right now I need as much help as possible! 

Thank you!
