Leopard Print Love


You can see the back a little bit here













On Saturday night I went out for one of my friend Jess' 18th. Here are a few pictures of the night and the dress I wore )you can't see it overly well in the pictures) but basically you get a rough idea and it was also backless cut out in like a diamond shape.
So what do you think and did you get up to much at the weekend?

Konichiwa




So this is my Wednesday outfit!
Cardigan is from River Island which my mum bought me just before Christmas.
Top - Urban Outfitters which I bought in the January sales. Although there isn't anything special about it, but for some reason I just really liked it due to the Japanese writing of "Konichiwa" (which means hello if you didn't know lol).
Snood - River Island.
My interview for uni is also nearing and is in 2 weeks today!!!
Do you have anything coming up?

The Ramones




This was just so that you could see my carousel necklace.

and this was so you could actually see what the top has on!

So this morning I really struggled to get out of bed, just at I do every Monday and this is what I threw on quickly for schoooool.
My Top is "The Ramones" and is from River Island.
My Cardigan is new and I got it from ASOS last week.
My Leopard Print Jeggings are by Rise.
Oh and my Necklace is by Freedom at Topshop :)
Just a pretty average outfit but thought I would share it with you!

Every child grows up, except one





So everyone has an obsession at one point and mine currently has to be the "Peter Pan" collar on dresses and tops. They seem to be everywhere at the moment and I can't help but want to buy one every time I see one either online or in a shop!
I feel that the "Peter Pan" style is just such a classic and girly look. The colours of the dresses/tops shown above are perfect for this season - with bright bold colours, nudes and a splash of blue to brighten up your wardrobe they are exactly what you want to ensure you are bang on trend this season with the colour as well as style.

These 2 dresses are 2 that I have already purchased both in the sale. The black one is from Miss Selfridge and the Grey one is from ASOS.
Does anyone else have a soft spot for the cute collar?

ASOS x3

ASOS has definitely got to be one of my favourite places to shop, not only do they have gorgeous clothes but they are always a reasonable price (the fact they have 20% student discount is always nice!).
Here are a few things I want at the moment and will be purchasing on payday - hopefully!


ASOS Embellished Collar Shift Dress - £18
I currently have a "thing" for a 'Peter Pan' collar which I shall enlighten you on in my blog post tomorrow! I just absolutely adore this dress and it would be perfect for a night out. It is reduced to £18 in the sale...I can't really go wrong!


ASOS Knitted 60s Shift Dress - £36
Yet another dress with a collar - surprise surprise! However, it can't just be me having so much love for it, as it's out of stock in pretty much every size, so I am having to check constantly to see if they get any back in, in a size 8! The contrast in colours between the dress and the collar, makes it look really striking. They do the dress in 2 other colours but it's not quite as striking and I feel that this colour is perfect for spring and summer with all the lovely bright block colours that will be around.


ASOS Cotton Duffle Cape - £65
I have wanted a cape for such a long time but never actually got round to getting one but now the weathers going to be getting a bit warmer (not that it feels like it) I still feel that a Cape is perfect for Spring weather, because having no sleeves it can be a real issue when it is cold. I love the whole outfit the model has on if I'm honest, and may have to steal the look and buy the whole lot!


ASOS Heart Jacquard Cropped Jumper - £30
How cute is this jumper? They do it in Black with cream hearts but with me being the girly girl I am, of course I had to go for the pink! I think this would look great teamed with black skinnies or a pleated skirt (which they also do a lovely knitted one on ASOS) teamed with my Black knitted Headband and my River Island lace up brogue boots.


ASOS Pleat Front Chino - £30
I adore the whole 'masculine' look on girls and think that this outfit looks great.


ASOS Panda Sweat - £25
This jumper, is just me all over if I'm honest! I have such a big panda obsession and have loads of panda accessories such as a panda hat, panda snood, panda mittens, panda ring etc etc. So this would really match my collection! I would team this with the chinos above.

So what do you think and is there anything you really want at the moment?

So this is my new shirt from ASOS, by the brand 'Vila' as it was only £6 i thought i'd buy it. Well it arrived yesterday and it was surprisingly much better than I initially had thought. I love the bright colour of it which is perfect for the bright colour theme of this season. I wore it with black skinny jeans, as I thought it would make the colour stand out much more and i teamed it with my tan belt and gorgeous Marc Jacobs bag (which is also black). The ring is interlocking and by Disney Couture and it reads "faith,trust believe".

Have you got any bargain recently?

Tuesdayyy






So just thought i'd do another outfit post today and show you what i wore to school today.
Top - ASOS. The 3rd picture, i took without my Snood on so you could read what it says - "wish you were mine"
Leggings - French Connection (they do actually have gold studs on but you cant really see them in the picture)
Snood - River Island. I love Snoods at the moment and think they look so much better with outfits than just ordinary scarves, so you may be seeing them cropping up more frequently within my outfit posts!
Ring - Accessorize. I bought this when I was sale shopping just after christmas and as soon as I saw it, i knew I had to buy it as I absolutely love statement rings and thought it was good for £8.
It's pretty plain and simple, which is why I teamed it with my Floral Dr Martens which I wore in a previous post (if you are wondering what they look like) to give it a little more of an edge. I also accessorised it with my pink bow headband (ASOS) and pink lipstick to give it some extra colour.
What do you think?
Also, I was very pleased to receive my second uni interview today :)

So thought i'd do a post on my outfit at school today.
My knitted headed band is from Asos which I love and not only does it look good, it keeps my ears nice and warm!
Then there is my Bambi top which is from Mango, which I grabbed in the sales a couple of weeks ago after first seeing in last Summer when I was on holiday in Marbella, so I have wanted it for ages!
Then the skirt is from H&M, black skirts are so essential as you can wear them with everything and anything and the tan belt I have on is also from Asos.
Then the tights are from River Island aswel as the Brogue boots, which are extremely comfortable and look lovely with a lot of my clothes and which I feel are perfect for this outfit.
What do you think?

My magazine...


I have been trying to think of ideas for my fashion portfolio with my University interview coming up in February. I need lots of things to put in and decided to try and do a Magazine cover with a picture of myself and after spending a whole day on it, this is what I have created.
My sister helped with the photography and it took several attempts to get the right picture and lots of different dresses, but this is the final outcome.
What do you think? Have you had to do a portfolio for a fashion course? any advice would be appreciated.

Today







Third day back at school this week and my work load is beyond ridiculous, not good! On the plus side my portfolio seems to be coming together much better now after being sent some press releases which I did while doing work experience at Isabella Oliver which i can add to it! Also, I got my first uni interview today! Anyway, I thought I would share with you my outfit in which I wore today.

Cardigan - River Island
Denim Shirt Dress - River Island
Snood - River Island
& last but not least my Dr Martens! Which I must say are the most comfortable shoes ever! I did wear them today forgetting I had a driving lesson straight from school but they were actually fine to drive in, so added bonus there! Deffinitely love them!
