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

Dare To Wear

H&M long sleeve shirt, $13 / River Island top, $32 / Mini skirt / Vegan boots / ASOS crossbody handbag / ASOS ring / Dogeared charm necklace

Its that time of the year where I'm not sure if you'd be able to get away with this without getting a cold, I'm pretty sure you can't without a pair of tights or more layers on top buts its worth a try!

This was an outfit I was meaning to put together for ages because of the skort (that I'm yet to purchase *insert sad face*) and the boots I really wanted as well but they might not be everyone's cup of tea. I posted this on Polyvore but I do prefer writing about why I picked things and if you can get them cheaper. 

I really like the boots, they just give it this effortless, cool vibe.I might actually grab three out of 7 items in this outfit - the skort and long sleeve knitted jumper because they just look really good together. This website is not good for my bank balance. Also the rings because they look fab. 

Anywho, I hope you enjoyed this look. I'll see you all soon x

Its Always The Same

3...2..1...okay.

Hey guys, it feels like I always start off the blog post with the same thing or I say that its been a while every time I start a new post, because it has but that's beside the point. It may well have been a while but I feel like I need a new catchphrase or something that I can say and people will be like "oh hey doesn't that girl say that" but I've got nothing to that effect except "hey guys", how lame.

Moving on from my slightly strange introduction to this post. ITS HALLOWEEN! Did anybody dress up? If so, let me see your pictures on your blogs or post them somewhere and send a link, that would be awesome as I sadly didn't dress up this year, boo. I feel like I've slightly outgrown this holiday now, its actually put into perspective that its no longer acceptable for me to dress up silly or to ask people for free sweets. Me and my friend attempted to do scary halloween inspired make up this weekend and it went *terribly* wrong as we are utterly rubbish at doing make up and it should be taken away from us. I ended up looking like I'd been punched in the eye (which you may be thinking, "isn't that what you would be going for, I mean it is halloween") but the thing  is, that wasn't really how it looked - it seemed like I'd just smudged some eyeshadow on my face. There was a reason for this by the way, we don't just sit there in our spare time and try to look scary. We had plans for the weekend but unfortunately my boss didn't give me the day off so the plan went sour. This made me realise I probably need to start learning how to apply make up because everybody seems to know except me, plus I look like a 12 year old so it would help me actually look my age rather than get mistaken for someone six years younger. Don't get me wrong, its great to look younger...when you're about 40.

Its more than half way through my week off and I've got tons of work to be doing. Yet I'm here blogging to everyone about having lots of work to do but not doing anything, procrastinating as we know it. I actually don't know why but I procrastinate more than the average person. At the time (right now) I feel like I have a lot of time to do it so I start making excuses for the next day, oh I'll wake up really early tomorrow and start doing my work and then finish it all. I can't even do that on a regular day, let alone when I have a week off. So I pretty much lie to myself so I don't have to do it today. However, I somehow always manage to finish so I'll wind up doing it...at some point...one day. I'm sure there's a minority of us out there, hey you 6% of the population who are extremely lazy, I feel you. But who wants to really talk about Sociology anyway, its a bunch of pretentious snobs that think they know what causes problems in society when in reality its probably just the corruption of the government or our human nature that causes them, its fun to learn (am I really saying this?) but I'd rather blog.

I've just realised why no one reads my posts - probably because the titles seem like hormonal teenage girl problems. I just never know what to name my posts so they end up sounding peculiar and well, hormonal? That may be due to the fact I am a 17 year old teenage girl or because I am too lazy to think of something interesting. I'm thinking the second option. Don't be fooled by the strange title people of the Internet, I promise its not that type of blog...or is it because its starting to sound like one. Moving swiftly along...this post has been slightly dishevelled as I don't seem to have clear structure in what I'm writing about. Its just kind of there, in space, on paper, on a white background even, with black print. What I'm thinking at this specific moment in time 1:07am 1/11/2013, almost like a diary of some sort.

Internet shopping will be the debt of me. Its a problem to most in this day and age, not only can you shop in town/at a shopping centre but you can go home and shop on your computer. Its the fascination of putting so many items into your imaginary shopping bag that you won't really buy because it totals over £100 every time but you keep going anyway. Yeah, that feeling. I'm pretty sure I will at some point in my life be in that position (debt) due to the fact that there are SO MANY SALES when I'm in no current position to be spending the amount of money I'd like to on clothes. However, good news for me - its nearly my birthday. Which means for one day I'm just going to go wild, absolutely crazy (not really) and spend quite a bit of money on clothes and stuff and things I probably don't need but I'm going to buy anyway. Knowing my luck, there will be no sales and no nice clothes in the stores at the time I go shopping. Just you watch, I'll definitely let you know if that happens.

My friend actually told me to write a blog post about boots and it just clicked in my head that I really do need a decent, long lasting pair of boots. I literally have one pair of boots and they're not appropriate for walking long distances as they're heels so I'm currently on the hunt for a new pair of boots. If anybody has any nice boots they've recently purchased then drop a link in the comments section please and let me know! I'm now going to retreat to Polyvore on the search for some boots as that has been the easiest place for me to find items in my price range and really nice ones at that.

I will be seeing you lovely people sooner rather than later, goodbye for now dolls x

Casual Uni Day

River Island turtleneck shirt, $8.12 / Miss Selfridge jacket, $105 / Miss Selfridge dark wash skinny jeans / Dr. Martens dr martens footwear / Madewell drawstring bucket bag / AllSaints hat / Circular sunglasses

Although I don't go to uni yet, this is an outfit I'd probably wear just because of the ease and simplicity of it.

Docs are just a must (which I actually MUST buy), they are very expensive though so if you don't fancy spending about £80 on a pair of them you can always look in places like Primark who do very good look-alike Docs...I was actually tempted to buy a pair (I still am).

Jeans just because who doesn't like jeans, especially super soft ones, they feel like cotton wool on your skin, perfection!

Whack a beanie on with a tartan scarf - I've actually been trying to incorporate some tartan lately just because its 'in' at the moment and I don't want to stray from the crowd of tartan hype (I'm not quite sure what I meant by that, but go with it). I know people say not to wear sunnies because...well its not sunny anymore but I can't help but feel that they're essential sometimes, or just if you can't be bothered with eye make up for the day, sunnies, sorted.

Hope you enjoyed this very overdue blog post.

Throw Some Clothes On

Jane Norman top, $10 / Topshop jacket / Pants, $315 / Topshop t-strap shoes / Topshop curb chain necklace / Topshop hat / SALE CELINE ミニショッパー ブラック, $2,690

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!

Goodbye dolls x

I Predict A Riot

Ella Skort Watercolour | Shop Shorts | Beginning Boutique, $47 / Zara mini skirt / Purple mini skirt, $64 / Black skort, $40 / Black skort, $32 / Bright Nights Skort Neon Orange | Shop Skorts | Beginning Boutique, $52

I think skorts are amazingly beautiful because its like you can get away with wearing a short skirt because they're short without being called nasty names (because you're hot and girls being wild..do that mean stuff). So I thought I'd just write a quick prediction of what I think is going to be a bit more popular soon, this may or may not be the case (I'll probably be wrong but oh well!) 

I think they're going to become a bit more popular for a while. Skater skirts have been and gone, it seems like an era for something a bit more retro and out there. I'm definitely going to purchase one of these some time soon, probably to wear to a party or you could casually dress it down if you wanted but I think they'd most likely be worn to a party in my case.

How I would wear this: maybe with a white Cami top and statement necklace for me and a pair of Chelsea boots. What about you? 

I feel like these skorts elongate your legs which is always what girls are trying to go for so I suppose its a bonus for short legs like me and long legs because they'll just look super slim and hot. Why don't you try something new, if you wouldn't usually buy something like this..maybe try one on in a shop with some heels and see how it looks.

Chill Day OOTD

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

Topshop top / Gucci rock skirting, $945 / H&M chunky platform booties, $48 / Michael Kors orange tote / Uniqlo hat / Slate Willow Accessories

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!
