FASHION| BLACK & GOLD

It's been a long time but I'm back woohoo! The stress of assignments, essays and being the president of the dance club are long behind me. I can now look forward to blogging more frequently, searching for a internships and actually being a REAL adult!

So a few weeks ago I went to my third and final sports ball where I got to unleash my inner edgy 70's gal. I wore this black and gold jumpsuit from ASOS, when I first saw it on the website I wasn't to keen but there was just something about it so I ordered it anyway. However the moment I got my hands on it I absolutely fell in love!!

You can't really see my shoes but I decided to opt out of torturing my feet with sky high heels and instead treated myself to a really nice pair of lace up wedges from Public Desire.

I kept it simple with the jewellery; some simple gold hoops from Primark (which I always lose and always go back to repurchase) and a simple choker from Pretty Little Thing that I only got for £3.

(...And to top the amazing evening off my amazing club won 'Club of the Year'!!!)

HAUL | ASOS, MISSGUIDED, NASTY GAL, NEW LOOK & LAVISH ALICE

So I've been really busy over the past month which you can probably tell from my lack of blog posts but I haven't let it get in the way of SHOPPING! I've bought some beautiful beautiful beautiful pieces and I still have a long wishlist of more things I want to buy, oh no!

I ordered from Nasty Gal for the first time ever, if you didn't know Nasty Gal is an American brand which have quite high prices. Although, their sale prices are really good. I got free delivery, shipping took 8 days and when the package arrived at the door I had to pay £30 in tax and duties -_- (which is not Nasty Gal's fault). When ordering I was really scared that I would order the wrong size as they of course do american sizes but I was so happy when trying the items on because they all fit me woohoo. Although I will be selling one of the items on depop as it's too short :(, I think I'll definitely be purchasing from Nasty Gal again.

I say this all the time and don't actually do it but their will be regular outfit of the days coming very soon.

AUGUST WISHLIST

I can't believe in 2 days it will be August! This year has gone so fast, I feel like I can now start counting down the days till I go back to university ahhh!
I have fallen in love with Missguided like crazy, I'm in love with everything on missguided and the fact that everything is affordable makes me fall in love even more! Out of all the wishlists I've done I feel like this is my favorite one. I love love love midi skirts and my friends always tell me my 'signature' look is a high waisted midi skirt, cropped top and chunky shoes. Although, I only have black midi skirts and I definitely need to add more colored midi skirts to my wardrobe.
Recently I've really been liking the whole dressing up tracksuits look, being able to wear a tracksuit but still look girly. For a day look I would pair the bustier with the the runner shorts and Adidas trainers. What do you think?

WHAT I GOT | CO ORD, BIRKS & A CHOKER

It's really hard to show you guys what I buy all at once so I thought I'd show you 'WHAT I GOT' a couple of items at a time. So I'd been eyeing up this co-ord for a very long time, as I was a broke student at the time I put it at the very top of my wish list. A couple of weeks later I went back on the Fashion Union page and it was on sale!! There was noway I was going to leave the screen without purchasing it. It's my first ever purchase from Fashion Union and I must say I'm really impressed, delivery was quicker than expected (I'm a cheap skate so I always choose the cheapest delivery option which normally means the longest delivery time) much to my surprise I ordered it Thursday evening and it got here on Saturday. I had to get a size bigger as they didn't have any size 10's left, its a little big around the side of my boob area and my lower back so I am gonna try and get it taken in. Apart from that I absolutely love it and that's another co-ord added to my collection.
I also got a pair of Birkenstocks in pink! I haven't got much to say about them because my step dad bought them for me but I do really like them (mainly because they are pink!)

FASHION | OOTD

Summer is now in full swing and I must say its been full of good news; I passed my first year of university and I'm very happy with my grade, I finally got a job and after only working there 2 days I got some really good news from them, one of my flatmates wasn't going to live with us in second year due to being on placement but he has now changed his plans and will now be living with us for second year (MADHOUSE!) also I've got some really exciting things planned for my blog so all in all I'm a very happy girl.

If you've been reading my blog for a while you'd now I've had some issues with doing OOTD's and getting them up. Well, I have finally found a solution and that is getting my 8 year old brother to take them! I'm actually impressed and after taking today's OOTD he has now decided he wants to be photographer haha!

D.I.Y | MY NEW SHORTS PART 2

Last week I showed you guys how I made my green adidas tracksuit bottoms into high waisted shorts which you can see here. I've got another pair of adidas tracksuit bottoms which I wanted to make into shorts. Unfortunately they didn't turn out as nice as the green ones. Perhaps because these ones are much tighter and a different material. Nevertheless I may not wear them out but I would definetly wear them to the gym or chilling around the house.

D.I.Y | MY NEW HIGH WAISTED SHORTS

This Friday I'm going to a beach party with a couple of friends and I need an outfit!

I had a vision of me wearing baggy shorts and a bikini top, I was even considering actually ordering a pair.

But what do I do? I take a pair of tracksuit bottoms and make them into shorts. I've had these tracksuit bottoms and their matching jacket since I was about 12. About 3 years I accidentally got red paint on them and I haven't worn them since. It's a mens tracksuit and extremely big on me so they come up high waisted. I didn't do anything technical or hard, I only used a pair of scissors and an iron to make sure the bottom stays folded.

I really love them and I know I'll definitely be wearing them a lot over summer, some of these pictures were taken on my iPhone so sorry about the quality.
