STRIPES TWO WAYS..

[Whole Outfit(s) - PRIMARK]

[Culottes - £3]

[Jeans - £10]

[Shoes - £3]

[Top - £10]

[Bag - £1]

[Glasses - £3]

So thought I'd give it ago with these outfits but I couldn't decide what I liked more out of the two outfits because even though they're so similar they're so different! I think I like the jeans more as I just love black skinny jeans, I think they're an every girls must have in their wardrobe. This stripe top I loved but had to return cause it had a hole in and I'm still waiting for more to be delivered! Such an easy wearing top as it goes with a lot of different things! I've been loving primark at the moment, doesn't help that I spend 5 days a week working there but they have some lovely things in at the moment, I do recommend people to take a gander if you haven't in a while, the quality of the clothing is a lot better and also their range of clothes.

Sorry it's such a short post!

HOLOGRAPHIC ALIEN SKATER DRESS

[Dress - AliExpress]

[Sunglasses - Boohoo.com]

[Belt - Primark]

[Shoes - Topshop]

Loving this AA style holographic dress from AliExpress, it was about £4 I think but did take THE EARTH to get here! It sparkles really nice when the light catches it and I thought it went amazing with my hair. The dress is a tad short as it's Asian sizes and their sizes are a little smaller than UK, I would recommend though as it has two way wear, you can either cross it over at the front or the back, so like wearing it back to front and front to back really..

I did buy this dress for my holidays. but it didn't come in time but it's too sassy not to show off! Another thing is the fact that it blows up because it's so light weight so if you do get one, be careful and look out for the blistering winds! I felt like Marilyn Monroe during these photos, a blue haired more "fuller" one.  

I do really like getting stuff from Aliexpress because you can get some right bargains, but it's so hit and miss with what you get because of the different sizing and also the time it takes to arrive. Sometimes by the time it's here I don't even want it anymore then it just ends up on my depop which is a shame, but when you're constantly shopping online (totally addicted) then it's hard to just want 1 thing! 

My sunglasses are from the amazing boohoo.com and I love them loads they're like my new favourites! I've wanted cat eye sunglasses for ages but never knew if they would suit me, but I finally manned up and took the plunge and got some! and I love them whether they suit my face or not! 

And finally my shoes, I'm sure i've done another post about them somewhere if you want tot travel back in time down my feed, possibly the one with my king kong coatigan in.. but I do love them anyway these shoes, they make me tall, and I love tall.

SUMMER MAXI DRESS FEATURING NEW VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

[Dress - Walton Street Market]

[Shoes - Topshop]

[Head Chain - Primark]

[Handbag - Vivienne Westwood]

[Belt - Primark]

[Necklace - Tatty Devine]

[Sunglasses - Primark]

I just did this outfit post on a wim as I need to get back into regular posting which is easier said than done at the moment because of my hectic work life! I don't think I've shown off this dress at the yet but I don't know why because it's so lush! I managed to get it from market for £2 and it's worth a lot more than that, it has a cute black and white pattern on it and I JUST LOVE. I like that the pattern on this dress goes vertical too because it is meant to elongate you and make you look that little bit taller and thinner, which from these photos I think is a lie because I still look short and plumpy! but each to their own. Much rather them go vertical than horizontal as apparently they make you look wider, but I definitely don't need to look any wider so I stay away from them as much as possible, especially on tight things!

Please excuse the bad photos, they're not my finest ones I shall be on top form soon especially when  I can get back into exercising after my back problems and can feel and look thinner! I still wanted to post this post because of the outfit I really like it and I apologise again that it's not my best post!

Thanks for reading this short post and please bare with me I will be back soon!!

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.

Outfit of the day, handmade clothing all the way!

As I study fashion (even though now its fashion comms but it was design) I thought i'd put my trade to good use. I've been looking into buying some flares in velvet but people were selling for £30 and at the moment I just couldn't afford it. A jobless fashion shopping addicted student is not the best thing to be when you have more time on your hands than a watch. An impulse buy at my local haberdashery shop (BOYES) of 3M of dark purple crushed velvet fabric sparked up my brain as to creating my OWN flares!

After tracing my other flares to make a quick pattern I was on my way! How astounded was I when they came out as good as they did is unreal. (in my opinion nothing I do comes out as good as I thought) 

With the amount of time I have on my hands at the moment as well I decided to make two matching tops..TWO! 

I made both a point up halter-neck tie back and a elasticated boob-tube (both beginner garments I know but simple but effective is the way forward) 

I am thinking of making these sets for sale and selling them on my DEPOP account (USERNAME: annahodgson) I am just trying to perfect the pattern. 

I am very happy with my garment creations today I will be making more soon and putting them on my blog too! 

Thanks for reading dolls!

A Little Bit of FLUFF!

As i'm selling my full life on depop I've been going through all my 10 drawers and 2 cupboards full of stuff and I came across this cute little zig zag two piece that I made for myself before I went to uni last year but didn't get chance to wear (it's on my depop now, username: annahodgson)

and also found the AMAZING furry backpack that I bought myself a few weeks ago in Manchester Topshop, it's so cute and its also a good size! I daren't use it yet it's that cute i'm scared it will get dirty but then again what doesn't when you wear it! 

I also wore today my Cheer Up Clothing socks and my YRU flatform sandals which are still the best pair of shoes I have ever bought even though I fall about ALL over the place in them but I think thats just because I am a wobbly walker! 

Just in case any of you want to know where I have got my stuff from:
Backpack - Topshop - £26
Two Piece - Handmade by me
Sunglasses - Primark - £3
Lipstick - Superdrug MUA - £1
Socks - Cheer Up Clothing - £5.99
Shoes - YRU Flatforms - £13.75
