Nelly!

My designed shoe on NELLY.COM

I hope everyone is having a lovely last day of half-term (apart from those lucky people who have an extra day!). Today I have just been revising and looking on blogs/sites. I came across this competition to design a shoe for Nelly, an online fashion company and thought why not?! So I designed this shoe! It reminds me a liitle of some shoes similar to this in topshop at the moment, although i changed them abit! I decided to do a pastely mauve colour as i am pretty obsessed with pastels currently! Also I did a glitter heel because- well to be honest I thought it looked pretty! So i'd really like to ask anyone who reads this a big favour to vote for my shoe if you like it! I know it is very unlikely that I'm going to win but it would be pretty amazing if i got a few votes! So there you go, I'll get back to my regular posts soon!

P.S - I have bonded with Maia (my new cat) and I have to say, she is such a cutie!

Dungarees Days...

T-shirt: Band shirt (Pete and the pirates)
Dungarees: Vintage
Jacket: H&M
Shoes: Topshop
Socks: White Stuff


I've decided yet again to procrastinate from revision and do a blog post. I'M FAILING MY GCSES FOR YOU!!! Hahaha just kidding guys, I’ll be fine! Anyway, this is what I wore on a family road trip to the cute little town of Lincoln. In retrospect it would of been a better idea to go the day after because lots of the little vintage shops I would of liked to have gone in were closed still for the optional bank holiday *sigh*, but I didn’t let this dampen my spirits and still soaked up everything Lincoln had to offer. Plus, some of the little shops were still open to have a nose around. When I say a nose that is all it was because I am trying to save my money for my holidays! 

Onto the clothes! I understand that dungarees may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and admittedly I’m not a fan of the full length ones, however I absolutely love these short ones that I picked up from a vintage shop in my local area called Chinese Laundry. I was surprised when I found them in there, as that particular shop is one of those places where I can never seem to find anything that I like or is indeed in my price range, but despite this I both liked and could afford these at just £15! Plus they are so cosy! I apologise for wearing this leather jacket two posts in a row! It seems to be my go to item at the moment for completing my outfits- I can literally wear it with anything! We're at this funny time of year where it seems too warm to wear a coat but you know you are going to freeze without one so a leather jacket is abit of an essential! You can't really see it on here but I’m wearing the t-shirt of a really good band I’ve seen a couple of times called Pete and the Pirates. I'm not really into buying band t-shirts as souvenirs as I find them a waste of money, nut i really liked the design on this shirt and because kits quite a quirky name for a band that isn't widely known I took the plunge and bought it! 
Anyway, that just about sums up this post! For those of you on half-term break enjoy the little bit of the holiday we have left (this week has literally flown past)!

P.S - Maia (my new cat for those who don’t know) is starting to settle abit more and has not hidden from me today! We had quite a nice time earlier playing. She was purring so much she sounded like a motorbike engine. Bless. 
P.P.S - I saw American Pie: The Reunion the other night. It is ridiculously funny!

A nod to Jesus...

Dress: Topshop
Jacket: H&M
Earrings: Topshop

Well, I'm sorry to have to start by grovelling but I’m sosososo sorry I haven’t been on here for absolutely yonks! I've had exams, revision, ect. so I haven’t exactly had time to go on the computer, never mind go out and take pictures of what I’m wearing but I am determined to knuckle down with this blog as I do enjoy writing it (despite the very small amount of traffic my blog receives!). 

I wore this for a brief trip into town and then to a wedding that I was singing in with my choir. I love this dress, but I got it from Topshop quite a while ago so I don’t think it's still available! It has beautiful embroidery on the front though! Unfortunately my outfit didn't get to make an appearance in the wedding service as I had to wear a delightful red floor length choir robe. However I did keep my earrings on for the service which in the end (through no planning) was coincidentally quite appropriate as they are crucifix earrings and the wedding was in a church!  I should probably point out that the earrings were definitely more of a fashion statement than an actual 'nod to Jesus' but oh well I still wore them to church!
Anyway, I'd better strop procrastinating and continue with my revision *sigh* I will update soon!

P.S - I bought a cat today from the RSPCA and called her Maia! She's so cute but sadly has hidden under the hole in the kitchen cabinet out of nerves, bless! 
P.P.S - I'm having abit of an ugly day, excuse the lack of makeup!
