Don't Call Me Ska Face

Happy Friday people!

 Another day, another look.

Guess who got new shoes!! They're from Necessary Clothing and were on a special 'Markdown Monday' deal. Here's what I styled them with:

My jeans are from Topshop, the Jamie style. I like them because they're higher waisted than normal jeans. The monochrome shirt is from Forever 21.

You're all probably out partying. Me, I'm having a night in with sushi and wine with some of my housemates, I've got work super early tomorrow morning, so can't go too crazy tonight.

Church On Sunday

Good evening everyone!

Just popping by with a quick outfit post. I (like the rest of the World) have gone crazy for tartan. I've always been a fan of tartan (sneak back to May 2012!), but now it's one of THE big trends for this season, it's even more accessible. Tartan skirts are a must for everyone this Autumn/Winter. Check out how I've worn mine below.

The tartan skirt for today's post (I have about 5!) is from Forever 21 and I've teamed it with a cable knit jumper from Primark, a black leather studded jacket and black buckled shoes from New Look. Tartan just makes me feel all British and warm inside.

I'll try my best to come back tomorrow, but until then, can I ask a wee favour? I have entered Oasap's Autumn Fashion Style Contest over on their Facebook page. I'd really appreciate some votes. All you need to do is click like here for my photo. Thanks in advance :)

Foodies

Ahoy!!

Guess who has a week off work? Expect lots of posts coming atcha! Today I bring you a new outfit post. This is from a few weeks ago. I won tickets to the Foodies Festival at Battersea Park. It was quite literally food, glorious food! There was everything on offer, from freshly made sushi, to homemade retro sweets, and even some Kangaroo burgers! My friend that I went with had a really good camera which shows so much more detail, so I've been inspired to buy my own good camera (I say good, I just mean better than the one I have now). Here's what I wore.

The sunglasses and tan shirt are both from Primark. My jumper is vintage equestrian which I bought from eBay. I absolutely love the colour. I've paired it with this tribal body con skirt from Forever 21. The brown boots are vintage Bally and are so perfect!

The finishing touch is my Peace necklace by Tiffany & Co. It was bought for my 21st birthday by my Cousin/Godmother Susie. I practically wear it everyday!

Mmmmm, this sushi was amazing! I also had a really refreshing apple and raspberry mojito and we bought a bag full of yummy luxurious chocolate (Dark chocolate with lemon meringue pieces!).

Check back tomorrow for the best buys from Monsoon, just in time for their Rewards Event this Thursday!! Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Anchored by the Thames

Ahoy!! I hope you all enjoyed yesterdays post featuring Frances O'Leary's new collection. I'm trying to make more of an effort with updating this blog more, so today I bring you a new outfit post.

This was quite a casual ensemble for me. The anchor tee is from Urban Outfitters and is quite possibly the comfiest top ever! I've teamed it with cherry red skinny jeans from Primark, a navy denim jacket from Uniqlo and not forgetting my favourite navy vintage nurse shoes. My bag is from Forever 21 and I can almost fit the kitchen sink in it.

Southbank is probably my favourite area of London. I just love being by the river - I'm a pirate at heart, happiest by the sea (or rivers/lakes/puddles!).

Until next time....

Brown Sugar

This will be a quick wee post! Thank you to everyone who read the last post, I've had a great response and hopefully it will be featured on HelloGiggles very soon! But for now, it's back to fashion with an outfit I've been meaning to post for a while. This one is a little bit 70's.

My boho top is from Primark and I've teamed it with my favourite high-waisted flared jeans from Forever 21. These jeans fit me so perfectly it's like a constant hug to my bottom.

I've been to a lot of concerts recently, including some 1970's idols - Paul Weller, Ray Davies, Elvis Costello and Frankie Valli. Although I didn't get the chance to see the biggest band from that era, The Rolling Stones. So if like me you didn't go to Glasto this year, or catch Mick and Co. in Hyde Park, play this loud, close your eyes and pretend you were there!

I owe you all some photo's from my trip to Brighton. If you haven't already, you must check out the SS14 collection from Frances O'Leary. I got the very exciting opportunity to be there for the shoot and help out. Her prints are to die for!

That's all for now, I'll be back soon!

Ukulele in the Park

2 days in a row? I really am back! This outfit is from a few weeks ago when the weather was still nice in London. I decided to take my ukulele over to a little park just behind our house.

I bought my ukulele just over a year ago. It's called Sir Paul as I actually met the legend himself the day I bought it. It's so weird because at the Queen's Jubilee Sir Paul McCartney was actually playing a union jack guitar!! I can play a few songs but not quite ready to become a performer just yet, but maybe one day you might find a video or 2 of me on Youtube. Anyway, back to the outfit. The cream lace cardigan I got from Forever 21. It's perfect for those cooler summer days as its really light to wear. I bought the grey skirt from eBay. I always feel so much more ladylike and elegant in a longer skirt. I have so many pair's of sunglasses but these are my favourite. I got them last year from New Look in the sale.

Don't forget to check out all the lovely stuff I'm selling on eBay. I'll be back tomorrow with a Paris outfit!!

Pizza Express in a Tribal skirt

Went for lunch with an old friend last week. Here's what I wore (Katy was my photographer).

No idea why I thought keeping hold of the Pizza Express box was a good idea for these photos. This skirt I bought from Forever 21. I love all the different colours as it means I can mix and match it with all sorts, like my bright purple tights! My jumper was one of my great finds from eBay. Its such a gorgeous green colour and has a lovely fit. After my favourite coat (Sailor one from Topshop) was stolen last year from a club, I was on the hunt for a new coat and have since bought 3, although these have not quite filled the gaping hole left from my other coat. This navy duffel coat is yet again another great find from EBay. It's originally from Next but is from the kids section. Apart from the slightly short sleeves, it fits me perfect.


After our lunch at Pizza Express, Katy and I decided to head to Leicester Square where the Men in Black 3 premiere was about to start. We got to meet the big man himself! Will Smith is just awesome, so nice and always happy to meet and greet fans.

We also got to meet Nicole Scherzinger who looked stunning in her risky Cengiz Abazoglu Haute Couture dress.

And if that wasn't enough, we then got to have a little chat with Emma Thompson. She is just amazing. I told her she looked fab and she told me her white suit was by Maria Grachvogel. It's so great to see a top British Actress supporting a top British Designer.

Finishing off with a quick reminder of this fantastic clothes swapping event coming to London in a few weeks time! RSVP the event page and why not like the Facebook page for information on more swapping events in the future!

The Original Tour Box Office

As the end of exam celebrations are dying down, I am finding more time to post looks onto my Lookbook and Chictopia accounts and to do some more blogging. Here's what I wore to The Other Art Fair last weekend.

My first ever Romwe purchase finally arrived! This double breasted blouse is faultless in this seasons most popular colour, mint green. I love the big laced collar too. It also perfectly matches my green Faith shoes which I wore to my prom 6 years ago! After watching Tim Burton's Dark Shadows I decided to bring back the 70s in these High waisted flared jeans from Forever 21.

Don't forget to check out the Facebook event page for this exciting new Clothes Swapping event happening in London next month! If you can't make this one, then why not like the Facebook page to be told of more events in the future!

Spitalfields Streets

Just a quick outfit post whilst having a break from uni work. Visited the antiques market at Spitalfields with new housemate Luke a few weeks ago. Here's what I wore:

It was a bit chilly so I decided to layer it up a bit. The black chiffon dress is from Forever 21 and you can just about see the white collar over the top of the navy jumper from New Look. I'm wearing my H&M burgundy blazer (again!). The heart print tights were a present from my Mum. They're perfect for adding a little something to a plain black dress. And finally my black Chelsea boots are vintage which I got from eBay a few years ago and still love to wear.

If anyone is on Chictopia please let me know, I would love to follow you. Uni is nearly all over with so I'll hopefully be back updating more =]

A day by the river

Last week I spent the day with my brother hanging out by the Thames and going on a general walkabout of central London. I decided to wear what is becoming my new favourite outfit. I love when you find pieces from different shops that fit together so perfectly!

The yellow skirt is from Forever 21, the top is by Henry Holland for Debenhams and the yellow brogues were £6 from Primark. I've finished the look with my anchor tights from New Look. They're really good quality as I still haven't managed to rip them yet, which is what usually happens to my patterned tights.

We also bumped into some funny looking characters by the river...

I have also entered this outfit into the Spring Bloom Contest at Chictopia and would love it if you could vote for me please. Thanks

Square 1 with Bruno Pronsato - A W E S O M E

Last week, Me and some friends went to a secret club night where DJ Bruno Pronsato was playing. It was all very secretive with the venue only being told the day before. It was inside a dingy little basement gallery where there wasn't even a name on the door. It's not usually my type of music but was a great night out. Here's what I wore:

I think my crop top says it all really. I got it in a little clothes boutique in Stratford and features a word that comes out of my mouth way too often. The ruffled body con skirt is from Forever 21, in that lovely berry colour which was seen in my last update. My black Chelsea boots I bought from eBay for around £7 a few years ago and I could easily live in them. They're really comfortable and go with anything! I hope to be back tomorrow with another new look!
