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!

A DAY OF AA AND COLOUR

[Two Piece - American Apparel (discontinued)]

[Sunglasses - Boohoo.com]

[Shoes - Topshop (SALE)]

[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]

I've already done a post with this outfit a while ago but it does deserve more recognition as it is an amazing piece! Bought from AA in Leeds for my 20th in April I got it just in time but they only had size larges left. Fortunately it fit me better than I thought it would and it was the last one so I had to have it! and to top it off I couldn't resist wearing my boohoo cat eye sunglasses. I literally wear them every day with everything! 

Also sporting the miley buns which match the wall in this fab colourful area of derelict land! I thought this outfit would be a bit of fun and includes the very "IN" vertical stripes to make me look taller than the small 5'6 I actually am, also helped by the platform shoes from Topshop sale £15 which I love! (especially when I get an extra 10% off because I am a student!) 

I wanted my lipstick to match my shoes so as I don't have a bag so I used a dark vamp shade makeup revolution lipstick thats £1 from superdrug which is very close to the blackness of the shoes to fill up the look! 

I will be putting this outfit on my depop as I don't have room for it anymore. So if you wish to buy my depop is @annahodgson and there is lots of stuff on there to buy!

Thanks for reading

PROBABLY MORE T-SHIRT THAN DRESS....

[Top/Dress - Primark]

[Coatigan - The Ragged Preist]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

[Shoes - Topshop]

[Lipstick - Makeup Revolution]

 Not much colour to this outfit other than my hair, I wanted to try a change with my style and try an outfit without colour. I think this top would look great with some white culottes or shorts, with maybe some vertical stripes on. I thought it would go fab also with my king kong coatigan from The Ragged Priest! 

I like the fact its quite a greyscale outfit, until you get to my hair and get a woosh of colour which goes really well with they grey! Just shows that coloured hair can be more versatile than people initially think, you don't always have to be the worlds biggest colour palette!

I also have quite subtle makeup on with some DARK lippy which is great which the black coat to give a kind of gothy look. It could be called a stylish goth look but maybe not with the length of this dress..

I was also thinking that I could get wrapped up in this coatigan with a belt but enough so you could still see the top, I think that could be another way to wear it. Baring in mind I did get this top in a size 18 to make sure it would fit overlarge and something that I could maybe wear over a bikini and multi-use! Trying to get the most out of my clothes as usual!!

PEACE! XO

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!

PINK COORD OOTD PRIMARK

So what to do when you buy something because it's cheap and too big... I turn it into a halter neck top so it fits! This ootd was a large size 20 jumper from Primark with long sleeves and a matching skirt (size 12) and it just looked silly so big but for £1 I couldn't resist! 

I tried it on today because I thought it would be perfect to do a blog post with and I just looked lost in it! After a while I thought of all the things I'd made in the past year that would be easy to just turn it into and a halterneck being so on trend was the first thing I thought of! The secret to making halternecks is that vital triangle shape, as long as it looks mostly like a triangle it will be fine! 

After tieing it tightly around me it fit nice and snug! And I could wear it like any normal two piece! Paired with my new black bra top to give some back detail I thought it would be a nice cute little summer outfit for holiday! 

So if you're ever wanting to spice an old jumper or a top up, turning it into a tie back halterneck top will always work perfectly! 

Also I made the Pom Pom earrings which I'm majorly proud of! 

If any of you have any design tips and cheats that you've found feel free to comment and share them with the world if you would like any more information about the tie back halter I've made or any other questions feel free to contact me!

FLORAL 70's OOTD featuring FISHNET TIGHTS AND YRU

When I was raking out my wardrobe from the past 7 months at uni (the time I had my bad shopping obsession) I found this gem of a dress although it's officially the shortest dress in history! I also got a size about too thinking it would be longer! The dress is from Primark it only cost me £3 which is a bargain! and I didn't even know it had flared sleeves till I got it home! 

My fishnet tights are from eBay only a couple of quid as I wanted big holed ones and my YRU platforms like usual, the link is in one of my previous posts but some people are selling them on depop if anyones interested! I got my harness from eBay too and my necklace from tatty devine, see previous post for link and write up about my new necklace!

I do think this dress is a little short but I don't think getting larger sizes will help as they get wider rather than longer so don't be fooled! and also i'm only 5ft6 so it's not like I am terribly tall, it maybe worth wearing a pair of cycling shorts underneath or hot pants but everyones different! 

I am struggling with what hair colour to experiment with next as my colourants fade so quickly does anyone have any suggestions with what hair colour I can go next?

Thank you for reading!

PEACE!

BEAUTYCON TOMORROW

If you follow me on social media, you may have heard that I won two pro tickets too Beautycon London tomorrow. I have been raking out my wardrobe to find the perfect outfit and today my new Motel Rocks palm leaf unitard came! I LOVE IT, I know it's not online anymore but Motel has a depop account on which they sell one offs for discounted price and this unitard brand new with tags only cost me £12 including signed postage! Amazing right?

Paired with my Primark fishnet socks and platform sliders (also Primark only £6 OMG) I think it would be a cute for beautycon! but I am the most unsure right now! 

I am excited for tomorrow, setting off at 5AM from Hull to get to London and I'm driving (god help me) and it's going to be such a long day. I will be posting about it all day on my Instagram if you want to follow on what i'll be doing. I have pro tickets therefore I will be doing meets and greets and getting goodiebags so if you're interested i'll be sharing it with you all! I will also be writing a blog post about my day probably on Sunday so if you want to keep up with the days events as they go, follow me on Instagram @annahodgson 

I am also debating on whether to wear my new septum ring only £3.79 from ebay! would love to know your opinions in the comments!

Thank you for reading my blog post today and feel free to comment on what you think about my blog or if you have any questions. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! @annahodgson

THE PEACH VINTAGE JEANS

I can't believe I haven't done a post about these jeans yet.. These are my favourite vintage jeans in a washed out orange colour, so washed out they're more of a peachy pink now! ]

I got them last year in a sale at a vintage shop called POORBOY BOUTIQUE which is a lovely vintage shop in Hull. My particular jeans were only £3! probably seems more astounding then it actually is as luckily Hull is one of the cheapest place to live in the UK.

Anyway back to the jeans.. who needs me blabbing on about where I live!

They're mom/slouchy jeans so they're as comfy as all hell and because they are preloved they are all broken in and snuggly! I know mom/slouchy jeans are not very flattering on some figures... LIKE MINE! but who cares I love a good pair of mom jeans!

I've paired my fabulous peach jeans with my new TOPSHOP body with star nips which I caught in the sale for £3 nothing like this ever fits me right because of my stupid oddly sized boobs which NOBODY wants if any one else has this problem.. I feel ya sista! and am always open to any help which makes it not as bad as it is so feel free to comment with any help! 

I also have put in my YRU platform shoes which are gorgeous too, I just haven't got the gist of walking around on anything but totally flat ground yet!

Hope you enjoyed reading my short post feel free to comment and share! x

OO and PS the necklace and the belt are also from topshop! <3
