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!

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!

BARGAINS OF THE DAY.. Fab new outfits

So today I took a trip to my favourite charity shops in Hull down Holderness Road and I found these beauties so amazing prices! 

This amazing purple cheerleader skirt! Goes fab with my little purple phase! 

A lovely Ivory/beige cotton boho dress which would be great for festivals, debating whether to dye it pink yet...

Both this missoni style crochet like dress and this iridescent blue mermaid crochet bag so lovely and rainbow like and as for the bag OMG i am in love with it. Almost may take over my viv.. Maybe..

And finally this amazing dusky pink tie up top, I am wearing back to front as it looks so much better! Also has a low back/front so paired with a AA crossover bra looks amazing!

And to top it off I got all these things for £5.50! So even if people think we charity shops, it's only like buying off eBay or depop but if you rummage you may just find some gems, also the turnover of clothing some charity shop is amazing I go to my favourite one at least twice a week!

Thank you for reading my small post on charity thrift shopping!

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

Lets get personal! dedicated to My Favourite Daydream

So for a while i've been looking for something that can be personal but not the most expensive thing on earth. I wanted to get something also that would be good for a cute gift for friends and family with that handmade touch. Seeing an account on depop ages ago reminded me of someone but I didn't take note of their username and was searching for ages! But finally the other day I found this depop account again and I was SO happy!

My favourite daydream on depop creates hand made personalised cuff bangle bracelets and necklaces from thin metal and then stamps anything you want onto it and for the cheap price of £3.50 each they are AMAZING! After only ordering it yesterday my personalised bracelets (I ordered 3!) came today!

They came wrapped up all pretty and fragile it was a shape to take off the tissue :D

Also wrapped with a little note in the front of the envelope!

 PERSONALISED TOO! :D 

And here are my 3 bracelets all cute and packaged so well! and for £3.50 each and only 99p postage is amazing, such a lovely girl too! 

The 3 bracelets I ordered were one for me, my boyfriend and then separate one for my best friend!

Yesterday was mine and my boyfriends year anniversary and even though I got him the most amazing top from Urban Outfitters I had to get just one more little thing to make it super cute (hopeless romantic I know)  I got the day we got together in roman numerals printed on to a bracelet for us each, 28th April 2014! I do hope he likes it, he doesn't know I have bought it yet, I may tell him after I've posted this!

And for my best friend he's a language student and is doing his year abroad, 3 months in GERMANY, 6 months in CHINA!! and 3 in SPAIN and I am going to miss him the most in my life, he's been my best friend since I was in year 2 so I got EST. 2002 (the year we met) and on the inside both of our initials which I think is uber cute and hope he likes it!

They are so cute and if someone bought me these I would be over the moon because they're just so lovely with a personal touch! 

My Favourite Daydream has an ETSY page to order from which I've linked and also a depop, username: myfavouritedaydream

I recommend anyone to buy from her I don't have a bad thing to say about her or her service and it's being a pleasure doing business with her! 

Thanks for reading my post!

ACDC and flip flops..

How amazing is this ACDC halter neck from Primark only £6 everyone needs this this summer! I love it so much I may go back and get another one! 

Can't wait to wear the hell out of it this summer!

And also these beauties from Primark also £6 platform flatform sliders in white! They also did them in hot pink! Amazing on and comfy to wear when not walking for a full day otherwise wear plasters on big toes otherwise they will be cut to shreds! (As mine were) but with socks and plasters your away and as these snake skin print socks are now only £1 in Primark I would definitely recommended to buy! They've been my life save or should I say foot saver this spring!

Thanks for reading my quick post hope you loved it as much as I did buying these clothes!

PATTERN CLASHING AND SASSY COLOURS

Today was the first time i wore my Adidas Pharrel supercolor trainers and omg I am in love they're the comfiest things I've ever put my feet in, usually when I get trainers especially Adidas I come out with mahuuuusive blisters which scar!:( but these it's like a little cloud of pinkness! 

I haven't photographed many of my new items at the moment as I've been busy but I have been posting on my Instagram page ALOT! (@annahodgson) if anyone wants to follow me! 

Today's outfit is such a clash of colours and patterns. I'm in love with all things colourful and bright at the minute and I just put them all together today! This was such a good outfit to style! 

Finally photographed my new VIV bag! I have been saving up and hoping and praying for a Vivienne Westwood bag for so long, and finally for my 20th Birthday in Leeds I decided to take the leap and buy one and luckily they had ONE LEFT of my favourite bags! It's so me colourful and patterned, and it was only £195 which was the best thing about it! I almost kissed the woman in the shop when they had one left!!!!

Trainers - Adidas Supercolours Semi-Solar Pink - £67

Trousers - American Apparel Leggings 

Top - American Apparel

Coat - Primark - £3 

Bag - Vivienne Westwood - £195

SHADE LDN LOVIN'

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, had some things going on uni, bday etc. but after my deadline I will be back with a BANG!

Todays post is about an outfit that I can't wait to wear properly but one, it needs to be a bit warmer outside and two i need to get some more suitable underwear as it's V see-through!

The outfit is quite sporty and the dress by SHADE LONDON is quite tennis like, it's a great fit but is a tiny bit see through but with a nice white set of underwear would be perfect. (although if you can get away without wearing a bra that would be best). The bag by LAZY OAF on ASOS (NOW SOLD OUT), comes without the holographic eyebrows, i added them myself for a shoot. The sandals are 3inches high by YRU bought from SPORTS DIRECT only £13.75 may I add, and they are the most AMAZING things I have ever bought and would recommend to the moon and back. Finally the jacket is a vintage nike patterned bomber jacket which was bought from Manchester!

Thank you for reading my post, I will be doing more blog posts on styles bits by me and will also blog about styling on other people too, watch this space

Rockin' Summer

I wanted to do a summery–ish styled post and I thought it would be a great time to try my new £1 floral leotard from PRIMARK.  It’s inspired by a gothic rock summer because of all the music I was listening too yesterday, BVB, slipknot, Metallica, ACDC and loads of other rock/metal bands (which I am a big fan of may I add)

I do need to start posting more about my own style as I have so many clothes I want to show people and wear in more ways. I will try and post a lot more frequently because I like to at least think someone is reading what I’m posting.

Todays outfit isn’t very casual it’s more of an event outfit or possibly festival, would look fab paired with some glittery wellies.  I decided to go for a maxi sheer dress because you can wear almost anything or nothing under it and wear for different occasions; dress up or down it’s from PRETTY LITTLE THING (£5). The reason for the miley buns is purely a quick fix for greasy hair and for extra greasy (like mine this morning) a bit of sparkle glitter paste from TOPSHOP (£1) does wonders! The boots are form EBAY CHINA (£13) a cute present from my boyf at Christmas. The lipstick is STARGAZER (£2.50) mixed with MUA black lipstick from SUPERDRUG (£1). The cute little bindi is from CAMDEN MARKET (£1) and hoops set of 5 sizes from PRIMARK (£1) these earrings have lasted me years and are such a fab buy!! (Y) I hand made the elastic choker necklace with the pendant from EBAY, the tattoo chokers are from EBAY too. And finally my sunglasses are MOSCHINO from TKMAXX (£12) bargain buy I am in love with them and cant wait to give them a good running this summer!

I hope you like my post and thank you for reading, if you want to ask me any questions feel free to comment or get in contact don’t forget to follow me on social media showing off work that I do as a fashion comms student and are happy to do work for people.
