I can honestly say I can feel my stomach in my chest right now, anxious and nervous doesn't even sum up how I feel writing my first ever blog post in over three years. THREE YEARS?! Where has these three years gone; I left university after a year (lets not dwell on that), went back to working in the cafe with my sister, left there to work in a call centre, returned back to the cafe six months later and here I am now. But there has always been that what if.. what if I carried on writing where would i be now? Could I have had my own column, my work published or even brought my first bmw... here's hoping. Anyways I'm back studying an online freelance journalism course and back to what I love doing the most nattering on about fashion, lifestyle and beauty. Mom Jeans Ever get them days when you don't have a clue what to wear, feel frumpy and horrible in everything. Then chaos descends in your room with the stress of your new added floor-drobe you've created as you do...

OOTW Week 6 "It's like your my mirror"

Image
All the days seem to blurring into one right now. I cant believe how quick this year is going already, were nearly in March! It's been a massive week for fashion and music with the phenomenal London Fashion Week going on as well as The Brit Awards, and how can you forget Rihanna's debut first range for River Island. AMAZING!! But of course I can't forget to mention Justin Timberlakes comeback performance in far too long at The Brits, he is definitely getting better looking with age! I've only got 3 weeks left at university before I break up for Easter, but even though I'm so excited to go home now, I'm definitely not excited with the amount of work I have to do before. This seems to be a regular moan of mine every week, so I do apologise! These are my five favourite outfits of the week: Top Left: Going out for lunch with my flat mates I wore; Diamond vest from H&M , Military shirt from Primark , Black plain leggings from Topshop and High wedged traine...

Boohoo- A few presents to myself

Image
Ever since I did my blog post on Midi dresses I've been craving and searching avidly for one, even though my bank balance is screaming at me to leave it in piece. Though the midi dresses I was really interested in were all on Boohoo, they were cheap and very on trend for this season! I'd also been looking for a crop top which I could wear for any occasion whether day or night, and one were I didn't have to buy a new bra for either. That's one thing that frustrates me, how if a top is cut before the shoulders and someone wears a bra where the straps can be seen so visibly! Enough of my ranting, here are my purchases from Boohoo yesterday:    My purchases  You even get free stickers with your parcel  I brought this dress in black so it can be worn for both day and night. Unfortunetly when I went on the website today these dresses had sold out AND they have a 50% off sale on all their dresses! I'm gutted I didnt wait a bit longer so I could...

OOTW- Week 5- "I want you to stay"

Image
It's been such a long dragging week, but the weather has definitely put a bounce in everyone's step. The sunshine is slowly starting to make an appearance finally, although the cold weather is still very much around. This week I've spent a silly amount of money that I really don't have, thank god for my over draft! But it's gone on some worthwhile items, well I think so. I finally put my deposit down on my hair, not saying just yet what I'm having done but it's gonna be a big change, I'm so excited! Then I brought a cheeky few basic items from Boohoo that I'll blog about later this week. But for now here are my four favourite outfits of the week: Top Left : For a nice chilled night of cocktails with my flat mate I wore; Printed sleeveless top from Topshop , Blazer from Internacionale , Black dog tooth printed treggings from Topshop , Black high wedged trainers Internacionale and Bow bag from Topshop. Top Right: A laid back look for universi...

Crop Tops- a key wardrobe essential!

Image
I honestly can't believe how quick the weather changes, one minute it will be snowing the next it's raining BUT today finally it's sunny. I genuinely can't remember the last time we had such beautiful sunny weather, it's definitely long over due. But you know what that means? Summer is nearly approaching so it's time to slowly start to re-vamp that wardrobe of yours. Crop tops are making an appearance back on the high street, being teamed up with the latest Leggings/Treggings or even the on going trend of disco pants. I love wearing crop tops, although I'm very conscious of my stomach, so I always team them up with anything high waisted whether it's high waisted jeans/treggings or shorts. This gives the illusion that I'm longer than what I appear, which is always a bonus for me!

Midi Dresses,"I wish nothing but the best for you too, don't forget me I beg"

Image
Midi dresses are all the craze right now, with the typically short dresses being ditched for a more sophisticated glamour look. Being petite I thought Midi dresses would drown me and make me feel smaller than what I am, I'm 5 ft 2. Though I was very surprised that they didn't! It made my body appear longer and slimmer and even make legs look ridiculously long, which is definitely a bonus! This is a key item that you need for your wardrobe girls! Here are a few of my favourite Midi dresses online:  Dilara leather sleeve midi-dress  £16.99 MissGuided      Dolly cut out shoulders ruched side-midi-dress £18 Boohoo  Ilidia aztec print midi-dress £14.99 MissGuided   Estelle skull print cap sleeve bodycon midi-dress £15 Boohoo   Scratch graffiti midi-dress £32 Topshop   Live to ride maxi dress £25 Miss Selfridge- However this is more of a maxi dress but I still love it!     Simone geo print side split mid...

OOTW-Week 3- "You turned out to be the best thing I never had"

Image
I can't believe how quick this week has rushed by, I can't remember the majority of things that have happened and for once I was only drunk one night... well maybe two but that was my bosses fault. With university work escalating up by the second and me struggling to reach the top, I went home for a bit of me time and to be around my loved ones. I always thought going to university your closest friends would slowly start to drift away and forget the memories you had together, but this week has shown what an amazing group of friends I truly do have. Though not to forget my family who never cease to amaze me with how supportive they are, I couldn't ask for anything more! Anyway enough of my soppyness, here are my five favourite outfits of this week: Top Left: A cold early morning in Southampton I wore a Lace insert dress from Topshop , Patterned woolly cardigan from Topshop , Topshop Leggings and Internacionale High Tops. Top Right : For a night out I wanted a more c...

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...

Can you really get Cheap fashion?

Image
So its currently half one in the morning, yes any normally sane person would be asleep right now if they had to be up at seven, but no not me. For some reason I cannot sleep, I am a bag of nerves for my upcoming interviews for university and I have so many thoughts and ideas whizzing around my tiny little brain wanting to come out. Then I see my phone flashing, who would text me at this time? might you ask, well your wrong, its an email..... and Its Topshop. WHY OH WHY when I'm totally and utterly skint do i always seem to get more emails regarding new upcoming fashion trends (and give me false hope that i am quite popular at this time) and the latest sales. So I started to think whether i could find a cheaper alternative to high street fashion, with the same lasting time  and durability just a cheaper price tag. I'm an avid twitter goer, and the majority of places that follow me are either fashion wannabes like me or more clothes store trying to advertise and ...
