Black boots


T-shirt: Ebay. Cardigan: Urban Renewal @ Urban Outfitters. Boots: Urban Outfitters. Necklaces: Topshop and Urban Outfitters.

So I bought these boots today and I'm absolutely obsessed with them already. My shoe collection is literally expanding by the day and so many of them are black! I really don't think you can go wrong with black though as it literally goes with everything. I really like these because I can dress them up or down and I'm not a heels girl at all so wanted something I can wear for smarter occasions. I love flatform soles! I already have my creepers which I love, and a more casual pair of suede boots with a gum sole, so these are the perfect addition to the collection. Might I also add that they were an absolute bargain. Originally £95 (I refused to pay that much!!), but reduced to £60 in the sale. Still a bit pricey but I'd already started planning outfits to wear them with so I really had to buy them, however once I got to the till and the assistant scanned them, they came up as £40! 
I got this T-shirt fairly recently as well, I saw it on Nicola's Deciphering Dreams blog and thought she looked really cool in it! and at only £12ish, it's a bargain. It's really big on me but I'm a massive fan of oversized tops. My style is pretty much baggy on top and tight on the bottom!

Two of my boyfriend's friends got married today, so we're off to their reception/dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to it but really can't decide what to wear! I actually need to go and jump in the shower and get myself ready cos knowing me I'll be faffing around for ages!

Second hand news...

Sooo, it's been a while! I don't know exactly what happened with the blogging, but I guess I was feeling really un-inspired for a while. I completely went off all of my clothes, and didn't really know what to post about and started to think too much into the fact no one was reading! BUT, a lot has happened in the past couple of months, I've been to New York, got engaged (!!!), and I've just got much more into fashion again. I've been reading a lot of other blogs and getting more inspiration, and I guess just realising more what I do and don't like. I also realised it doesn't matter if no one else ever even reads my blog; it's just an outlet for me to post pictures and talk crap!




Jumper: Urban Outfitters. Leggings: American Apparel. Creepers: Underground. Hair scrunchie: American Apparel. Necklace: Topshop

Just a simple one today! It was my birthday the other day and I bought this jumper with some of the money I got. I got it in a medium as I wanted it to be baggy and long enough to wear over leggings. My jumper collection is forever expanding but a lot of them are shorter than this one, and it seems to be my cardigans that are more oversized.
My friend got me this necklace for my birthday as well and its a mood necklace. It keeps changing color, but stupidly I threw away the tag so I have no idea what they all mean! It came on a shorter chain, but I already have a few shorter necklaces so wanted a longer one so I could wear them all together.

I've just been working and going out a lot recently, I have a new manager so it's actually been really nice and I'm really enjoying it again. I've been going out a lot more and being far more sociable since I've been back from New York (we were there for two weeks so it took a while to get out of the holiday mode) so it's been nice to go out and keep busy and see friends! One of my friends is off travelling South America for 6 months tomorrow and I'm extremely envious!

I noticed that Urban Outfitters have a mid season sale on so I guess I'll be popping in there tomorrow...

My Favorite Colors

I heard about this idea a while ago but didn't really think too much about it, then I saw it on Lauren Conrad's blog, the beauty department, and then read a post about it on Gem Fatale's blog and decided I needed to give it a try! I immediately bought some chalks off ebay for around 4 quid. When I got home from work today I realised the postman had been and instantly had to give it a go! (excuse my matted mess of hair...)



The pink showed up the best and I really think it would look sweet on blonde hair! Mine's been highlighted but it's more blondy/ginge/red because it had been dyed red aaaages ago (biggest regret ever!). 
It's not really an everyday thing because it stained my fingers and will probably rub off on clothes too, but I think it looks wicked and will be perfect for a night out!

I know I'm not blogging much anymore but it's actually super hard to find time to do it, and I haven't really had much to talk about! I'm getting bored of all my clothes and I have to wear dark jeans to work everyday now so I haven't exactly been venturing too much. I have bought some bits recently though so I will try and get on it this weekend!

Catch up!








So I realise it's been about 10 years since I last posted... Well, not quite but it feels like it! I've actually had a really busy few weeks which makes a change seeing as I'm usually moaning about not going out enough. I went home to see my two best friends, one is getting married which is crazy so we've been making plans for that! I've had friends come up and visit me in Manchester, been to a few gigs, nights out and just generally drinking too much, spending too much money and having a good time. I get paid in two days which seriously cannot come fast enough. I booked a flight to New York, plus all this partying has not left my bank balance very happy!

I wanna start regular outfit posting again, I've just been disliking all my clothes recently but I'm getting my inspiration back which is a good thing so hopefully I'll feel better about my wardrobe soon :) What's everyone been up to?

I'm really getting into the Sopranos recently so I'm going to watch that, and then catch up on last night's Made in Chelsea!

Domino




My second post of the day (greedy) and not exactly a credible one either, but this song has been in my head all day. It's so catchy I can't get enough of it!

Blonde Redhead



Today I got my hair done, it didn't turn out exactly like I had in mind but I kinda like it! I was aiming for an ombre-ish look but I think the color starts a little bit too high, although in these pictures it looks like it blends in nicely with the rest of my hair. I'm still getting used to it as it's very different and a lot lighter, but once it fades slightly and grows out a tiny bit I think I will like it a lot! It makes a nice change anyway!

Hope everyone is alright, got any plans for the weekend? I'm bloody working tomorrow but I think I might be going out for dinner with my boyfriend in the evening!

I'm waiting for the day





Crop top: Urban Outfitters. Skirt: American Apparel. Boots: Urban Outfitters. Shorts: Levi's via ebay. Sandals: Topshop. Necklace: Urban Outfitters. Watch: Casio

The sun was shining today so the outfit is a pretty summery one. I bought this crop top yesterday was I was in town. I love the skirt and top combo so much, I think I'll wear it on my next night out but team with with tights and a denim jacket - it might be sunny but it's still March! I doubt the second outfit will ever make it's debut out in public in England, but I think it will be so cute when I go on holiday in the summer. 

I've had a pretty quiet weekend which has been good as it means I haven't spent as much money as I would have if I'd been out drinking! I'm getting my hair done next Friday so I need to make sure I've got my money for that. I viewed a flat with my boyfriend yesterday which was pretty awful to say the least. The pictures of it looked lovely but then in real life it was pretty much the size of a shoe box. My clothes and shoe collections are expanding by the day so somewhere with lots of storage space is a must!! Oh well, the search continues. 

I'm having a pretty chilled day today, blogging, reading and watching the Hills - it never gets boring no matter how much I watch it. I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.
