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!

SHADE LONDON TENNIS DRESS.. SO 90'zzzz

[Dress - Shade London]

[Bag - Monki]

[Jacket - Afflecks]

[Shoes - YRU]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

[Fishnet Socks - Primark]

I haven't had much time to post this week because of me getting a new (old) job and trying to sort out Germany as that's where I am going on Saturday! I thought I'd show off this dress again because I think is super cute! and very 90's sports! I've always really liked the stuff from Shade London but since I am a poor student was never able to afford anything from there, UNTIL my cute boyfriend bought me this for my 20th birthday!

Pairing this gorg dress with my now not so white YRU sandals and some cutie fishnet socks that match my jacket and hair was a fab decision, I feel so coordinated right now.

The sporty feel from this vintage bomber complimented the dress as it's quite hard to find something to go well with it especially because it's so summery and short, it's meant to be worn alone but today was too cold for that! 

My bag was a huge bargain from MONKI in the sale for £10 got it around april time and think it's sold out now! 

I do love this dress a lot, but it is quite see through, have to have some certain underwear (if any) to wear with it because the slightest pattern would show so bad underneath! So I would definitely either, if you're close to a 10 get the next size up or make sure you're at least a 6-8 to fit in the dress without it being see through!

Please excuse my awful colour hair in this post, I am trying at the moment to get it a nice subtle EVEN colour but as you can imagine its easier said than done! If you want to know more about my hair I have a previous post on what I used/how I did it! 

Still in love with the ombrè lips though I used the purple shade from makeup revolution and the black shade from MUA both lipsticks £1 each and then used a brush to create an ombrè effect on the outside.

MINGA LONDON INFAMOUS RAINBOW UNITARD

[Rainbow Unitard - Minga London]

[Jacket - AGE UK]

[Trainers - Adidas (Footlocker)]

[Belt - Topshop]

[Bag - Topshop]

[Septum Ring - eBay]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

I've been so excited to write this post and even just get this unitard! I saw it about 2 months ago and I desperately needed it but by the time I got the money {as I am worlds poorest student} it had sold out and I was devastated! After messaging the company and stalking their instagram (probably worlds most annoying customer) it finally came back in stock! After they kindly tagged me in a comment to let me know it was back I ordered it there and then! A week and a bit later (thanks to the bank holiday) it came! I didn't just want to write a normal post about it because I love it so much, I wanted to make a special effort, so took my camera man {boyf} and drove us to a derelict housing estate to find something colourful, or more colourful than my garden/a wall! 

Finally got some cute shots that show off this amazing unitard! 

Sorry for spamming!

           

The unitard itself is SO amazing, the colours are so vibrant! and even though it only comes in one size it's very giving! and less see through than I thought it would have been, especially when I took it out of the packaging because it looked so small! But once it was on I didn't wanna take it off ever! I can't wait to wear it in Germany next week! 

I had to pair this unitard with my pink supercolours because they're like a match made in heaven and to top it off I had to include my gorgeous piece of fluff backpack {I feel like a little Dora the Explorer in it} best buy at £26 from Topshop!

I've tried to link most of the stuff in my ootd but some of them I either got on sale or from vintage/charity shop therefore I can't 

But just one final thing... ISN'T THIS UNITARD AMAZING!!!??????

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!

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

OOTD.. THE COLOUR CATCHER

I've been pining for so much coloured clothing for such a long time and when now I've started a little collection of sassy coloured clothing I needed to share. 

As my hair it lilac at the moment you may be able to tell that I am a #lilaholic right now! 

If anyone's interested where my outfits from the shoes are YRU, the jeans are TOPSHOP, jacket is vintage from AFFELCKS MANCHESTER, sunglasses from PRIMARK, bag from TOPSHOP and lippy from SUPERDRUG, socks are from BOOHOO.COM 

I also have previous posts about all these items on my blog if you wanted to take a look back at them!

I enjoyed styling this outfit so much it's such a blast of lilac and argh I love! This jacket is so my favourite still not over it was only £9.99 it also has padded shoulders! Everyone needs padded shoulders!

Thanks for reading this short post I'll be back posing properly next week! 

PSYCHODELIC

Ever been so excited for an online order to come that you find yourself checking the letter box at least twice a day? THATS ME! Well it's been me since last Thursday. I ordered this gorgeous thing from boohoo.com 

LINK TO CATSUIT

With free saver delivery may I add, boohoo.com are great for delivery deals! I ordered a size M as I usually am anywhere between a 8-12 and so this was a good middle ground. It fits me fab, I could have maybe gotten away with a S but I didn't want to push it but OMG I love it! It's so eye catching and vibrant which is great for the festival season and for anyone who wants to make a big SASSY statement this summer time!

I paired it with my adidas supercolour trainers to add to the total rush of colour the outfit gives off, along with my lilac hair (in miley buns of course) I think it would be the great festival outfit, all I was missing was a bindi and of course the glitter dust in hair and face! 

The back is nice and low which is fab but makes it unable to wear any bra, but who cares it's summer let it all hang out, everyone else seems too! good thing about this is catsuit is that even if you don't have the perfect body you can still wear it like everyone else because the amount of pattern hides some of the imperfections in a woman's figure, the high shine lycra material helps a lot too making things seem a little more streamlined!

Overall an amazing buy as it's only £15!! and I would recommend it to anyone!
