Autumn Wishes

As you can see I'm very inspired by this whole 'Teddy Boy/60s Mod Rocker' look that's emerged this season from the Burberry and Yves Saint Laurent A/W shows and very present in high street shops like Topshop and Zara.
Wish me luck on adding these some what 'essentials' to my wardrobe...

Gifts, treats and pretty jewellery

Last Tuesday was my birthday and I had a lovely day (basically birthday week as I was constantly treated and given gifts)
Got so so many lovely gifts by my friends and boyfriend, lots of jewellery (which is totally what I needed and will be showing off in future outfit posts) and so many sweets and cakes!
As I've mentioned before my friend (basically sister haha) Farah has her own jewellery line and she kindly gave me one of her pretty pieces called 'The Ella Necklace' for my birthday.
So here it is on me:

It's such a subtle but elegant piece, I'm looking forward to layering it with my other necklaces. My one is navy swarovski crystals with an 18 inches long silver chain. The great thing is that Farah can make alterations to customise the necklace for you. The crystals can be:

Lilac, Purple, Green, Aquamarine Blue

Mixed blue-green, Navy blue, Crystal AB, Ruby Red

...and the chain can be gold as seen in Farah's photo below:

Please check out her blog's jewellery line page here: Designs by FaraM

I frankly cannot wait for people to be like 'oh that's a pretty necklace, what shop did you get it from?'
and I can be all 'My friend/jewellery designer made it for me'.

Thanks again Farah :)

Also thanks everyone else who treated me on my birthday, love you all :)

Well, well, well

It’s been a while since I last did an ‘outfit’ post.
So yesterday I was feeling in the ‘dress up’ mood and had a little hour session creating outfits…well more like creating a mess of my room. Yes, I’m sorry, this was quite an impromptu one…hence having no make up on and bed hair. Also my room at home is teeny, hence the reason why it was rather hard to do full body shots…and to be honest you would not like to see the full body shot of me in these shorts…I have a lot of, as one would put it…‘junk in the trunk‘…hahahaaa.
Oh well I’ve started a healthy eating plan this Monday and added a lot more exercise into my regime so hopefully will look much much better and more confident in such miniature shorts.



Denim shorts - Topshop
Peterpan collared blouse - New Look…last Christmas gift from Farah
Sunglasses - H &M
Handbag -  £3 in Primark sale

Maybe a few more weeks on this regime and I’ll actually step out in public in this outfit, not just in my bedroom! They say the camera adds 10lbs…but I think in most of my photos the camera seems to deduct 10lbs…I definitely look much chubbier in real life.
Swiftly moving on for my body woes…I recently joined Twitter and yes I am now a self-confessed Twitter-aholic…damn you Blackberry Twitter app! I added my Twitter feed to my blog so please, if you want to, follow me and/or leave me your twitter name so I can follow you.
Have a lovely week!

Guess who's back...

So yes this has officially been my longest break away from Blogger. I am stuck in my internet-less home…the only chance I get to go on the internet is if I go to town with my laptop…and believe me it is a pain having to lug my laptop there. Mostly because I haven’t got a laptop fitting sized yet still stylish bag…yes I am quite a drama queen. For this reason I return to Blogger with 3 of my favourite ‘new in’ affordable bags that I can hopefully squeeze my laptop in this autumn.


Forever 21, Grey Briefcase Bag - £29.75

 









 

ASOS Leather and Leopard Bag - £85







Urban Outfitters Ostrich Lady Satchel - £48 

A big thanks to Peach for awarding me with one of the versatile bloggers award.
I really want to get back into Blogger this month. I will try and do more outfit posts and hopefully in new locations…not just against my university bedroom wall hahaha.

Online Window Shopping

What is there to do when exams are over and you have no money/too lazy to get dressed to do anything exciting outside - ONLINE WINDOW SHOPPING! Am I the only one who gets excited making fake baskets reaching over £500 on many shops...oh and my Topshop one is currently exceeding £1000...oh dear...if only I was rich! Yes it does make me sad knowing I'll probably never own any of these items, but despite being such a waste of time, it is rather fun creating dream wardrobes and I like to class it as 'gaining experience and knowledge' of what's in the shops. I actually do this so much, especially with Topshop, that I can tell whenever an item someone is wearing is from Topshop and predict pretty much exactly how much it costs.

Anyway the items from my wishlist in this post come from a online U.S. store ThreadSence. I'd never heard of it, until I was catching up on on of my favourite bloggers 'Fashion Chalet' and when saw her wearing this pink blazer from this store. You can see how amazing Erika from Fashion Chalet looks in it here.
For now I'll just sit staring at the clothes, hoping somehow they will magically be in my wardrobe next time I look inside...


A Late Afternoon Blazer - $59



Charlotte Sweater Dress by Brandy Melville - $68



Lamixx Pullover Oversized Black Sweater - $42



Around the Rosie Denim Shorts by Insight - $65



Follow My Lead Lace Maxi Dress - $48



Spot the Difference High Waist Shorts by Mink Pink - $71


Ahhh a girl can dream...

MORE New purchases/Favourite Blogger Friday

So as of Wednesday, 4.30pm my first year of the University of Edinburgh had FINISHED! EXAMS OVER! WOO HOO!
What better way than to celebrate than go shopping! I intended on buying a night time-ish dress as we were going out clubbing that night...however I couldn't find any in my price range that I really loved. Instead I finally found a pair of denim shorts from Topshop that I really did fall in love with, and didn't look that bad on me as usually denim shorts do.


Originally £32, but having £3.20 left on my Topshop voucher and
 10% student discount made them £25.50 for me! £6.50 saving oh yes!



Also brought this bag from H&M, only £12.99. I was really lacking
in the small bag department so this is a perfect addition to my bag collection.


 


 


















Whilst the title of my concept was 'Favourite Fashion Blogger Friday' I basically meant 'style' bloggers...however Fashion worked better with the alliteration. Probably my favourite style blogger has to be Jazzabelle's Diary.

Her photos and clothes are always beautiful, and we share a love for the V&A museum as well as Starbucks!! I seriously envy how cheaply she finds her clothes, she is a lover of Charity shops and manages to find amazing pieces for under a £1! Unfair! All the Charity shops I visit rarely have anything under £5...I'm defo going to have to visit the Charity shop she volunteers at in London, next time I go home to see if I can find myself such bargins.

I'm pretty sure if I could have anyone's wardrobe, I would love to have Jazzabelle's...so check out her blog, but I'm sure you've already heard of her, she is a very popular blogger...and why shouldn't she be? Her blog is such an inspiration.

Hope you all have great weekends! I will be including my two new items in a outfit post soon!

Happytoasts

Ok so my last blog post mysteriously disappeared...what is going on Blogger!? This happened after they supposinly fix the errors...gahhh.
Anyway seeing as my post still hasn't returned, I will rewrite it...
I mentioned how I've come up with the idea 'Favourite Fashion Blogger Friday' (my alliteration skills are so amazing and creative...ha!) I will write about the blogs that interest and inspire me and hopefully get you to check them out too. Yes I know today is Sunday, but this was originally posted on FRIDAY...Hahaha...
Anyway what better way to start (as well as continue the alliteration) with my good friend Farah's blog: happytoasts
Farah gives the best advice on fashion, hair and beauty. Her knowledge on all of these things are far superior to mine...however reading her blog has really taught me A LOT, especially about beauty as my beauty regime...is well...urm the laziest going...
On top of all that, you have to go have a look at her jewellery line of chains, pearls and Swarovski Crystals...it's all how I'll like to describe as 'wow' hahaha. Yes I use wow as an adjective...
My favourite piece has to be L'art Necklace:



I love the blend of the gold and silver chain. I'm always so anxious about mixing my gold and silver rings but I think with this necklace it works so well.

Anyway so my European History exam is tomorrow, fear and panic doesn't begin to describe my emotions right now...my lovely long, neat nails are now the shortest wonkiest mess...poo : /
