Black And Gold Feeling

Black and gold feeling

Hola, hello there, bonjour, welcome!

Do you know what kind of annoys me slightly about Polyvore? The prices are in dollars for all our American friends but not in pounds for us! However, I'm sure you can find out how much they are on the websites.

How are y'all doing? (I sound like a hillbilly).
I think I've found a staple accessory item that you might see on every single outfit post from now on and its the rings that I am yet to purchase but I will soon, just you wait and see blog, just you wait and see.

Onto the actual topic...of the outfit. This blazer is just, perfecto. I've been looking for a decent priced longline blazer this week to compare with others because the prices of them are quite high if you want them in a good quality that'll last long. I'm not going to say its the cheapest of items but with student discount it knocks a bit off the price. The retail price is £43 and then 10% or 20% off slightly lowers the price, its only a couple of pounds off which could be spent elsewhere so its a bonus in that sense. 

The white top that I've picked is extremely expensive, in no way does that mirror how much I would spend on a white collared top in reality but it was the first one that caught my eye. I didn't want a really flowwy or chiffon type, I wanted a bit more of a thicker (?) type if that makes sense people. I can't quite put my finger on the material I'm thinking of but its not the see-through type, so anything of the opposite.

The pants from Topshop are also quite expensive, around £50 - you see, I would only buy these if I knew I was going to get a lot of wear out of them and before I buy them I would have to think about all the different outfits I could make up. This is what happens when you're on a not so great part-time wage, you have to think about it and not impulse buy which is crap but hey, that's life when you're seventeen!

The shoes just reflect my personal outlook on boots at the moment. I'm loving the buckle detail on most boots and that's attracting me to buy a pair of something similar to these in this post or maybe with a little chunky heel...I'm not too sure about that one yet. I do like them, don't get me wrong, but a lot of people are wearing the shoes in a really strange way so I'm not quite sure yet.

That's all for today bloggerz (do you say zed or zee when pronouncing the letter 'Z'? I'm pretty much asking if you're American, British or weird), I'm off to do some coursework. Goodbye x

My Birth Month Has Arrived

Hello people of the slightly weird, crazy, interesting INTERNET! How are we all?

So its finally November, these months are actually flying by and next thing you know it'll be time for me to do my exams...what a joyous occasion! NOT!

I thought I would do my first November post today because its back to school tomorrow which means the same old boring routine: school, work, eat, sleep, repeat. I'm going to TRY, keyword here, try, to eat a bit more healthily this month because I've been dreadful these past couple of months. My sister suggested that we go back to the gym now, its been about three months since I've been and I do think its a good idea as I can't seem to run up the stairs without being out of breath. I'm a failure of a human, don't judge me. So I'll keep you posted on the so called 'healthy eating" and if I actually end up going to the gym.

I've just literally finished one of my long pieces of work I was set to do on my week off but procrastination at its finest kicked in today, I waited the day before to do it. I literally can't help myself, it keeps happening, its like a vicious cycle. You know when you're doing a piece of work and you just find any thing to distract yourself with, well yeah I didn't do that for the first time in my school life which I was proud of myself for. Pat on the back for me. But I really wanted to write a blog post so here I am, aloha.

Its November which means its getting closer to my 18th and I still have no idea what to do. The thing that I really want to do is literally go crazy shopping but I'm not sure whether to do that in London (whey) or just go to a big shopping centre called Bluewater or Lakeside even, decisions. I just want to pack my wardrobe full of lovely clothes! The reason I'm waiting until my birthday is I can spend my whole wage for this month on clothes (yay) and I also just ordered a new NUS card (yay x2) so I get a bit more discount on some shops like Topshop/Miss Selfridge blah blah and some other shops.

Once again, I've been thinking about school. Its also coming up to the time where I need to pick my University options and I don't really have 5, I kind of only have 2 that I would actually want to go to because they're close to me so it'll be very annoying if I don't get either. Fingers crossed. I'll just have to pick three that I'm not too fussed about I suppose. I don't know why I even get stressed out about this stuff because it'll probably work out but the risk of it not is a little bit scary.

Anyway that was just a little update of what's crack-a-lack-ing? I'm not even sure if that's right, I just don't know anything anymore - the week off has frazzled my brain.

Goodbye for now guys and gals x

Throw Some Clothes On

Day out.





Okay so I know most of this stuff is out of everyone's price range but I really only make these outfits so that if I see something similar then I can just pick it up and throw it in my shopping bag. Such as the Celine bag, its way way way out of my price range between having a part time job and having no money, ever. You can get a knock off if you really like it from eBay and they really do look similar! I was going to get one on eBay but I've literally spent way too much this month on back to school clothes, random bits and bobs and just food really. Oh and some new face bits! I'm really digging the shoes though I might have to save up and get those from Topshop just because they seem practical or maybe look for a cheaper version in Primark etc!

Chill Day OOTD

Chill day



Topshop zipper sweatshirt / Topshop jeans / Converse sneaker, $72 / Tan backpack, $16 / Reason beanie hat / Old Navy plus size black belt

Bonjour blogger people!

I'm not too sure why Polyvore is putting the prices in dollars as I'm in England and therefore it is not relevant to us but oh well, if anyone is actually interested you can always just click on the link and find it that way!

I just thought I'd do a quick outfit of the day on Polyvore for a chill day because I'm super tired today and I have lots of coursework to do, I'll post something tomorrow for you guys but for now this is all as my eyes don't want to stay open. I need a nap aghh!! Tired me. I can't even speak properly, how silly. Anyway, thanks for reading this teeny tiny post lovely people.

Day Out OOTD

Day out






How beautiful is this outfit, I was just thinking of something to wear for a day/evening wear! It would be amazing if I could actually afford these clothes. I'm loving bold colours and statement necklaces at the moment, they're just complimentary to each other and they don't clash. I thought the orange and yellow would look strange together but with the right person wearing this - they would look hot hot hot!

I just made this in 5 minutes on Polyvore, its a very interesting website to get outfit inspiration from and I'll be using it a lot more now I've found it. I'll obviously be settling for smaller priced pieces myself (student here, no money) but its pretty cute. Hope this has inspired someone's day/evening look!
