OOTW- Week 2- "I'm not afraid they can read all about it"

Image
After over a month of over indulging on ridiculous amounts of sleep, over eating, doing absolutely nothing and spending like I have an endless supply of money I went back to uni last week. Not going to lie setting my alarm for 6:50am for 3 days in a row did kill me! Three 9am starts out of four, this term is going to be a struggle to get up for. But after learning what we are doing for this term I'm actually quite interested in what this term has to offer. Enough of blabbering on here are my 5 favourite outfits I wore this week: Top Left: Early morning start for University I wore a Long love heart t-shirt which I tucked in to make it smaller from Topshop from 2 years ago, Disco pants from River Island and my comfortable Nike blazers. Top Right : For a long day at University I wanted a more casual outfit so I wore a Jack Daniels top from Ebay , High waisted jeans from Topshop , Blazer Internacionale and again my Nike blazers. Bottom Left : Dressing up a simple outfit wit

Where's my money tree?

Snowy weather reminds me of my childhood and my family, though it's a shame Southampton has only had one proper day of snow in comparison from where I'm from. My family have been out in the snow sledging, making snow men and of course the odd snowball fight that ends up with someone in tears- , which typically would've been me. But with the cold weather comes more and more internet shopping whilst snuggled in bed , well in my case anyway. H aving come back to university with two weeks to spare a day didn't pass that I didn't have a cheeky look at Topshop or Asos without being tempted to buy their whole website. Student loans have gone in at the same time that the winter sales are still on going, my overdraft is becoming more and more dented by the minute. Here are a few items that I'm seriously tempted of purchasing, it is pay day soon anyway so it wouldn't do much harm , would it? Kylie Cap Sleeved Scoop Neck Midi Dress- £12- Boohoo   Right on trend

He's got style, sometimes class

Usually I'm used to writing about fashion or beauty products which are specifically for women, not being sexist at all, though it's something I have a keen interest for. Although I wanted to do a different post about style and it was hugely influenced by my flat mate from university. He's a normal 20 year old lad that is very interested in clothes and is cautious on what he wears, ninety percent of his loan was spent on clothes and shoes including 'Converse' or 'Hundred tops'. What I found unique about him is that he always buys his tops in a much bigger size so it's more baggy for him as he doesn't like tight fitting tops, at first I didn't understand why he did it. He reminded me of them basketball players in one of them oversized vests at first! But after him wearing a tight top I can't imagine him without his typical baggy t-shirts, as they suit him a lot better. Recently he wore an outfit that I completely fell in love with, it's s

OOTW- Outifts of the week -Week1 "I wanna scream and shout!"

As the weather is getting colder it's understandable people are dressing more for comfort and warmth more than anything else.This is something I agree to to a point, however I'm the worst judge when it comes to the weather, I always check the weather everyday to ensure I wont be to hot or cold... but still to no prevail. Looking at the weather today it said -1 in Southampton and cloudy, I thought I'll be fine in a skirt 2 layers of tights , a t-shirt and a jacket ... HOW WRONG WAS I! Freezing was an understatement, my leather skirt was riding up and my legs were like two icicles slowly getting colder by the second. The thought of wearing a onsie to university is becoming more and more appealing. Although the weather has had us all snuggled up in bed in copius amount of layers, we've all still tried to carry on like we can't see the weather getting any worse. Here are my five favourite outfits from this week including two outfit's of going out with my alcohol j

Instant Nail Polish Remover In A Pot... Really?

 Every week I struggle with what colour to paint my nails and whether to add a design or even glitter to them. Seeing as I'm on a tight budget as a student and I didn't bring many of my nail varnish's to university, I only brought a small collection unless I decide to treat myself. The one thing I truly hate about nail vanish is removing it! The colour always manages to smudge off my nail onto my finger to make it seem like I have some sort of pigmentation on my skin or even worse is removing glitter from your nails! When the colour has come off your always left with the remnants of the glitter on your nail and after several attempts of frustration the glitter barely budges, so I end up filing the glitter off even though it's damaging and hurting my nail. Today I came across something different Nail Polish Remover in a pot?! I was quite intrigued with the product and with a price tag of £2.49 in 'Superdrug' I thought it was worth a try to see how it goes.
