Modern love

T-shirt: eBay. Cardigan: Urban Outfitters. Jeans: asos. Rings: asos and Urban Outfitters.       Necklaces: Urban Outfitters. Watch: Casio.

This is what I wore to work today. Pretty casual but sometimes I like these outfits the best. I'm going through a horrible phase at the moment where I don't like any of my clothes or don't know what to wear/how to wear them. Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon though! 

This watch was a valentines present from my boyfriend. I was soooo happy he bought it for me! I have a smaller gold casio watch which I really loved but I've got used to wearing a huge watch to work everyday so wanted something a bit bigger! 

It's my brother's 18th tomorrow which is scary and makes me feel very old. I went back home on thursday for a 'family' gathering so I think tomorrow night he's going out with some work friends and then having a crazy night out the weekend after. He lives in London now which sometimes makes me very jealous!

I ain't telling you a secret, I ain't telling you goodbye

It took me so long to work out how to embed a video, ha! Anyway, random post but this song has been in my head all day and I just wanted to share it :) Hope everyone has had a good day, I've just been at work all day which hasn't been too bad!

Is anyone celebrating valentine's day tomorrow? It was so funny seeing all the men crowding round the flower section in Tesco today. What's everyone got planned? I'm working all day tomorrow but it's a good excuse to come home and order a takeaway with my boy!

My love is your love

Shoes: Urban Outfitters. Necklace: Urban Outfitters.

I realise I've been neglecting my blog for quite a while now! I got off to a good start but when full time work/social life/illness gets in the way it's easy to think "I can't be bothered tonight, I'll do it tomorrow" and before you know it, tomorrow is weeks later! Anyway, I've bought myself so much new stuff recently I'm going to try and get back into it properly again so I can blog all my new stuff. 

I bought these shoes a few days ago and have worn them everyday since. I went into Urban Outfitters one day after work to pass the time and fell in love. With an £85 price tag I instantly wished I hadn't seen them, but after getting paid a few days later I really couldn't help myself! I love the chunky creeper-esq sole but they are different and the fact they are boots really appealed to me. I also bought the necklace, usually I go for long necklaces but I thought this one was very cute. I go through fads of preferring gold or silver jewellery and decided I needed a new gold necklace. 

I've been pretty busy over the past few weeks, going out and working. I went to Nottingham last weekend for my friends birthday which was fun and was a nice change going out somewhere other than Manchester. Yesterday I had an 'extreme Saturday' which was so much fun! My friend Hanna got some amazing retro roller skates for her birthday and my other friend Polly bought a pair herself. I decided I wanted to get back into skateboarding (I used to do it when I was younger) so went out with Lewis and Hanna's boyfriend, Andi while the girls were skating. We went to a skate park and it was so funny, like we were 15 again! 

Sad news about Whitney Houston. It's a shame when someone famous dies that it always seems to cause such a fuss on twitter/facebook. I had someone moaning on facebook that everyone was posting statuses when "I bet none of you own an album". In my opinion, just because you might not be a huge fan/own an album/listen to them on your ipod, doesn't mean you can't pay your respects and appreciate how talented someone is. Let's face it, when one of her songs comes on at a party its impossible not to get up and dance or sing along! RIP.

Put a ring on it

Ring: Topshop. Nails: 17 - Risky Red.

I've wanted a new gold ring for a while so I popped into Topshop on my lunch break today and got this one. Its nice and shiny and pretty simple but its also got a hint of bronzey colour to it. I guess this helps when the ring starts to turn bronze as they usually do - at least it wont look so bad! It was only a fiver which is pretty good if you ask me and I had some christmas vouchers to spend anyway.

I just purchased myself a pair of black levi vintage denim shorts - you know how I love denim shorts!! I needed a black pair though as they will go better than blue with some tops I have. I'll blog them when they arrive!

Girl at the rock show

Skirt: H&M. Shirt: American Apparel. Necklace: Topshop. Rings: Stall, River Island. 

Sorry the pictures aren't that great. I went out on Friday night and took these just before I left, hence them being a bit rushed! I got this top in American Apparel on friday, I really love the colour but was a bit unsure of what to wear it with? I just decided to team it with a plain back skirt and gold accessories and it seemed to look ok! 

I went to a rock night on Friday with a group of friends and it was so much fun. We spent the night dancing to old pop punk tunes - it made me feel 14 again! I was absolutely in my element, ha. 

I'm seeing Blink 182 in June and it got me so excited for that!! My boyfriend bought me the ticket the Christmas before the one just gone(!) and the tour was supposed to be last summer, but they postponed it for a year due to their album not being finished, so by the time I see them I'll have been waiting a year and a half!! Luckily I love the new album so it will totally be worth the wait. 

What did everyone get up to this weekend? I hope you all had fun whatever you did!

Ramble On

Shoes: Primark. Jeans: asos

I bought these shoes today from Primark. They were only £12 and I got paid today so I thought I may as well treat myself. They are loafer/moccasins and they are so cute! They are quite flimsy so probably wont last that long but I doubt I will wear them loads anyway! I'm already planning my summer wardrobe, once Christmas is out the way I spend the next 6 months waiting for the sun to come out. These will be nice in the summer with dresses or skirts or leggings or even skinny jeans and a nice top! ha! 

I'm going swimming tomorrow after work with some of my friends, I haven't swam since I was on holiday in the summer! I need to make sure I remember to shave my legs tonight...

I hope everyone has a nice evening. I'm going to catch up on Eastenders!

Unknown Pleasures

Shorts: Vintage Levi's via ebay. T-shirt: ebay. Scarf (in hair): Urban Outfitters. Necklace: Urban Outfitters. Rings: Stall, River Island. Earrings: Urban Outfitters. Watch: Casio. 

Black t-shirts and cut off shorts are one of my favourite outfit combinations. So simple yet so cool! I love this top, I got it for my birthday, I'd wanted it for ages because of the classic design. 

I got the scarf in the Urban Outfitters sale a few months ago and always wear it in my hair tied around my topknot. I love how leopard print looks so tacky yet so cool at the same time, it's probably my favourite pattern. It goes so well with black and in my opinion, a hint of it gives any outfit a bit of jazz! I can't get enough. 

I've been bumming my River Island ring ever since I bought it. I have really small hands but big rings are my fave. The colour is very classic and vintage-esq and although I haven't worn it yet with a dressy outfit, I think it will look really nice. 

My laptop is fixed which is a huge relief as I definitely do not have the money to buy a new one!! I'm currently chilling in bed catching up on TV and I'm going to try and get an early night - I've got a long day at work tomorrow. I don't know how successful the early night thing will be though as I keep finding programs to watch. I'm just about to watch the new series of Mob Wives. Anyone else seen it? I love those fiesty bitches!

I also think Desperate Scousewives is on tonight? It's embarrassing how addicted to 'reality' TV I am...
