KNEE SOCKS.

Denim Jacket: Vintage Valentino

Black Top: New Look

Tartan pleated Skirt: COW Vintage Rework

Knee Socks: Top shop

Dr Martens Shoes

Choker: EBay store

Kanken Bag

 

As you may have noticed the other day I went to The Vintage Kilo sale and ventured out to The Custard Factory in Digbeth! I really loved my outfit so thought I'd share with you extra snaps I took on that day! I love my denim jacket and as it's getting closer to spring and summer where the weather is picking up and the sun is coming out I think its more appropriate to wear it. I got this skirt for only £4 from COW and I cant believe I haven't worn it more often! The title of this post is called knee socks as well im wearing them! I decided to be more confident and I love the style so I went for it! I think they make an outfit look so different and I paired them with light denier tights for a better effect. The socks give a more 90's edge to the outfit!

REVIEW: ALEXA CHUNG "IT"

 

 

 

 Hello Lovelies. My obsession with Alexa Chung is getting way out of hand. Ever since picking this book up in Urban Outfitters has literally changed my life. I don't think I've ever had so much love for a book. First of, even the front cover makes me smile as its so simple yet really effective. For any Fashion lover, or a fan of Alexa herself, this book draws you in and makes you want to read it over and over again. This wonderful pink book has everything from advice from her sixteen year old self, her role models, thoughts and just genuine writings.

This is quite an easy read but a brilliant one for that matter, I've probably most likely read this at least 10 times because its so good! The images are so cool too which is also very engaging as you like to see the meaning behind why that was put there or what happened at the time! Its quite inspiring to see how far she has come from being a sixteen year old and seeing what she does now. I like to relate myself to Alexa Chung, on a much lower scale of course! I highly recommend for you to read 'IT' whether your a reader or not! You will love it!

 

Love you all

SHEFFIELD

Hello Lovelies

I went to Sheffield! It was actually a rather pleasant day which at some points made me smile very big as a certain shop was found - which I love!

You might spot a little yellow shop which you guessed it! COW Vintage! Its my absolutely favourite! Everything in there I could buy, all the crazy styles and colours I actually like instead of my black white and grey tones!





In case you didn't know this a English Lecture inside a church at Sheffield University!

 



Can you tell its my favourite?

 



Absolute Essentials!



Thought this was pretty cool when I saw it!



Another awesome Vintage Store



I just find it completely and totally cool!

During this day, I also ate food but I took it in before the camera came out, so I give you my greatest apologies!

Have you ever been to Sheffield? Did you like it?

Love you all!

DREAMING OF VINTAGE

 
Hello Lovelies!

You may not have guessed it but this is an OOTD post! "Dreaming of Vintage" - So I went shopping as per usual and I just didn't see anything I liked - at all! It was ridiculous. I have a very particular, peculiar style, one that isn't everybody's cup of tea, its just I cannot afford it!

Im all about that Vintage/Grunge Style and just being different! People don't get it! However Primark today did! Now that is a sentence I never thought would get it BUT I really wanted a vintage style blouse and I found one which im completely in love with!

On Saturday Evening I went for a meal at a place called "The Grill" with some of my best friends for a birthday party/gathering style thing! I decided to wear my new top and this was it!

Shirt/Blouse: Primark

Black Jeans: Topshop

Chunky Boots: River Island

Watch: Urban Outfitters

Satchel: Topshop

 

I really liked my outfit and cannot wait to get some more clothes when I next go shopping!

What's on your shopping list?

Weekend OOTD!

Hello everyone!

It is indeed the weekend! That consists of two days which means two outfits - clever counting laura! I'm going to show you two outfits and I will hopefully inspire your outfit choices!

So on Saturday I was a little dressy but fashion is a statement not a style, fashion does not have to be worn casually nor outside the runway! So it does not matter!

Shoes: Top shop, Necklace & Rings: Primark, Bracelet: H&M, Frilly Socks: Primark, Dress: Primark!
So this outfit looks quite classy, old school but also very modern! I love it and wear this probably too much but it never gets old and seems to look different each time!

Sunday! On Sunday I went to the Pub with my family and its so lovely in there! It also has a very good WIFI connection!

Jumper: ASOS & eBay, Necklace: Primark, Boots: George-ASDA
So I wore jeans with this outfit but I left the bottoms out as you could pair it with leggings, jeans or even a skirt! My jumper is quite oversized so its very very comfortable and its my favourite jumper ever! The boots are just a must have for every outfit- they're so comfy! For me comfort is key so I like a lot of things that make me feel nice!


What did you do this weekend? Anything fancy or did you just chill?
Love you lovelies!

My Current Favourites!

Hello Everyone!

I have started 2014 off loving a lot of things clothes to beauty products! I thought id share with you what im loving so lets get straight to it!

The first thing, which I got at Christmas, is this Clinique Cleanser! It is amazing! Before I'd never really used a cleanser I just used cheap makeup wipes but using this has made me realise how moisturising it is to the skin! When I use it and afterwards too my skin feels so much better and refreshed which is so good! I defiantly recommend this cleanser! 

This next item I also got at Christmas and its the Maybelline 'Falsies' Mascara. Its so good and really does give volume to the lashes! Its my favourite mascara from my whole collection!

These next two things are perfumes and I have had them for a while but these are my favourites ever! They are the 'Justin Bieber Girlfriend perfume' and 'Justin Bieber The Key' I ran out of the actual perfume bottles but short story when I went to see the 'Believe Movie' they were handing out free samples and my friend and I got about nine of each! So yes they smell amazing and don't underestimate the name! They are fabulous!

Im sure everyone knows the 'Maybelline Baby lips' but this one is my favourite and its in 'Cherry me'. I have found this is the most moisturising for me and works nicest! It is also slightly tinted so that's great for school too!  

 

 

The next thing came in a set from Seventeen but you can buy it on its own and that's this eyeliner! there's not much to say apart from BUY IT! Its brilliant and works really nicely!

Im sure you already know my obsession with these shoes but I had to throw them in! I love them, they're so comfortable and pretty! They go with everything so its great!

You may also know my obsession with Tartan! But yes these three pieces - two tartan dresses and tartan trousers- are just addictive to wear! They look amazing with so many different styled outfits and just are perfect! I've found that the trousers and the right tartan dress actually are very slimming and make your figure stand out so nicely!

 

 

So there we go 'My Current Favourites', I hope you have enjoyed this post and please tell me in the comments below what you are loving!

 

Love you lovelies!

New buys: Topshop Shoes

Hello everyone!

So a fair few blogposts ago I posted about what I'm crushing on from topshop and some geek t bar shoes may or may not have popped in the list! 

I've wanted these shoes for absolutely ages, but I could never afford them! So as the weeks went by and the sales came, the shoes I wanted were only £10!!! I could not resist the £32 shoes I wanted for only a tenner! The colours in  black, burgundy and silver! I bought the silver ones because they are abit different but go with everything! 

They're very comfortable and my new favourite shoes! I seriously recommend getting them! 

Have you bought anything in the sales recently? What shoes are you loving right now? 

Love you lovelies!

Winter Warmth!

Hello everyone!

So it's winter here in England and many other places around the world and that means it's very very cold! At night time I get rather chilly and layer up a lot! I sleep with lots of blankets on just to keep myself warm!

So I thought I'd share with you what I do to keep warm and I'm going to give you my little tips on how to stay cosy in these winter months!

When I get in from school, I like to make a hot drink! I'm the type of person that doesn't like to wear proper clothes when there's no need to, I like to be comfortable, so as soon as I come in and have my hot drink I put my pyjamas on and chill out! When I say 'chill out' that means messing around on my phone, tweeting my socks of! 

Talking about socks, cosy slipper socks are a must have! If your feet are warm, your body is warm! I tuck my bottoms into my socks and put these cute bootie slippers on!

I don't just wear my pyjamas as that doesn't keep me too warm but what I do wear as well is a dressing gown or a fleece poncho! For Christmas I got some cosy keepers! This is a Minnie Mouse style fleece poncho which I just throw on over my pyjamas or even clothes and it keeps me snuggly! I also got this pink and white hooded dressing gown which feels amazing!

Keeping yourself busy also helps you stay warm! If your doing something you won't notice being cold! I don't necessarily mean go running to get warm because I'm very lazy in the winter and going out in the cold to get warm doesn't make sense to me so I potter around in my room, on the computer, or reading! I love reading a lot and lying in bed while having a read is quite relaxing! 

I always try and write when I'm not doing anything and I really enjoy it!

 

Having a cosy room makes you feel cosy too I feel, so I have little fairy lights around my bed and it makes my room look so pretty!

So what do you do in your room, or in the winter when it's too cold to go out?

Love you lovelies!

New Years Eve: Hair, Make Up & outfit

Hello Everyone!

Happy New Year! I hope you've had a great year and an even better one to come!

So firstly makeup - as my main outfit is Black and White - so I've gone for a Bright Red Lipstick and Winged Eyeliner as a statement to the outfit! 

These are the products I used:

The Kate Moss Lipstick is in 107 and it's my favourite, I use it all year round! The Mascara is Maybelline: 'The Falsies' and this is also my favourite Mascara, I love it to pieces! 

I don't use Foundation too much, but I like to keep it natural anyway, so I used a Tinted Moisturiser by the Natural Collection at Boots. 

I use the Rimmel 'Stay Matte Powder' as it's my favourite and I really recommend it!

I kept my hair simple by just straightening it with a quiff. 

So the best bit my outfit!

I really like wearing Black and White at the minute! I'm not a bright colour person if I'm honest!

My trousers are from Primark and they were only £5! Such a bargain! I will probably live in these trousers now! I love them so much! 

The top is also from Primark and it was only £8! My boots are from New Look and were £24.99!

So what are your plans for New Year? Do you have any resolutions?

Happy New Year!

Love you lovelies!

The Liebster Award!

Hello Everyone!

I'm a bit off topic today, but I've been tagged by http://beautybyeden.blogspot.co.uk/ to do this! Thank you very much by the way! I've read the whole of her blog now and it's so good! If I were you I'd go follow it!

With this tag, you're meant to:

- List 11 random facts about yourself

- Answer the 11 questions provided by the blogger who nominated you

- Choose 11 more nominees and ask them eleven questions (they must have 200 followers or less) - and obviously let them know they've been nominated!

Right, I think I'll just go with it then! My 11 random facts! I'm not the most random of people!

1) I can do the alphabet backwards in under 4 seconds!

2) I cannot walk past Starbucks without buying something! Oopsy!

3) I'm the only person in my family who has blue eyes!

4) I was born on the 9/9/1999 at 9:49

5) My ringtone never changes, it's always the Mission Impossible theme tune!

6) I've been to America 4 times - Florida three times and New York Once - America is my favourite place!

7) I go to a lot of concerts! They're like one of my favourite things!

8) I crave pancakes 24/7, but never actually eat them unless it's pancake day!

9) I want to live in London!

10) I cant stand it when people walk really slow and drag their feet!

11) I get into my pyjamas straight after school unless I'm going out! Better to be comfy!

Now for Eden's Questions!

1) How many pets have you had? Names and other info.

    I've never had a pet! I've been deprived of having one as my sister and Dad have reactions to them!

 2) Favourite day of the week?

    I'd like to say Saturday! But during school Tuesday's are my favourite!

3) If every makeup brand bankrupted and you could only save one, which would it be?

    Oh my goodness! What would I choose, there are so many! I'd have to save Rimmel London, because I use it most!

4) If you had to move anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I'd move to New York, USA because there's so much to do and different areas that range instead of it all the same!

5) Favourite Book?

I have loads, but currently 'Let It Snow' by John Green, otherwise 'The Fault In Our Stars'!

6) First watched YouTuber/Blogger?

I have a lot that I started watching, but the main two on YouTube are Zoe Sugg (Zoella) and Tanya Burr! 

Bloggers: Danielle Kimberly - I found her on Instagram and she has such a good blog! Then the obvious ones are Tanya and Zoe! But I read and watch a lot of people!

7) Have you ever dyed your hair, if yes what colours?

I have, but only half my head! Kind of dip dye, but more subtle and blonde!

8) Favourite place to go?

In the UK, London, it's amazing! But from around where I live, Birmingham is really good for shops! Just in general, shopping is my favourite place to go!

9) Summer or Winter?

A lot may disagree, but I prefer Winter! It's all cosy and cute! Plus, Christmas is in Winter, so really it's a win-win situation!

10) Favourite Quote?

Its a long one ok! This quote is from One Tree Hill!

 "You ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moments of other peoples life have we been in? Were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died? Did we keep trying to get in? As if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think, you could be a big part of someone elses life, and not even know it."

11) Anyone you'd swap lives with for a day?

There's just so many! Probably for a Boy/Man Louis Cole (Fun For Louis) as he lives an adventure and looks amazing! For a Girl I'm going to stick to YouTubers I think - Zoe Sugg! She's absolutely gorgeous and has an amazing life from what I can see haha! Also I want her hair!
