Today I have been shooting blog posts and doing videos from 9am-3pm non stop. My brain is fried haha, so lets see if I can write this baby up!

Really love this little lace number! It also comes in black so I bagged that too! I bought a size 6 in both because I really wanted the lace to high enough that is fairly into a crop top rather then a top so that the lace sits in a position that makes it a statement. I'm not usually the one for green, mint is probably as close as I would go, a pastel kind of mint of course! But I absolutely adored this forest green and lace combo.

OH yeah, so I don't have pink hair anymore :( Had to do my roots again so everything got washed out! and now my roots are bright orange, hahahaha, hence why I live in fedora's these days. I'm thinking of going lilac but as I haven't done it before and the pink won't completely wash out, I'm worried it will go tits up and hit London Fashion Weekend with horrid hair. But you only live once is what I try to go by as I am a safe player and its really frustrating at times!

Back to the outfit.. I was going to pair this top up with a cream pleated skirt, however the outfit created a strong summer vibe so I had to pass. I wanted to present something more tomboy(ish) and covering!

I got this cute little shoes for £10 in the Bank Fashion closing down sale, so sad! they were a good brand! I just think there is so much competition these days its hard for every retailer to fed the monies! They are really comfy and I cannot wait to wear them in the summer. I really love the strappy ankle and then a small gap with a big block of croc print, what I mean is usually strappy ankle shoes show off a lot of ones foot, which I hate, so this provides good coverage.

Lastly, the necklace. What a bargain! I bought 4 necklaces from Urban Outfitters for £15 when they were meant to cost me £40-50 all together, bargain!! Absolutely love crystals so it was a must have and I have more to come!

Silver Sequins!

 

Dress - Topshop

Choker - Topshop

Shoes - Newlook w/ black frilly socks :)

Hello all. Its my Graduation week! Despite that my fellow students and I finished in June, The University Of Derby inset on having it in January every year, lord knows why... but it will be nice to see everyone. The day after Graduation is the Graduation Ball!!! Which is why I purchased this amazing sparkly dress! I love it so much!!! Its very modest, elegant and darn right gorgeous. Pricing at £85 I think is quite reasonable for a body on full of sequins and little gems. There is a two piece avail be in this also which I wanted but they were out of stock in my sizes and I'm afraid this is too! I watch this dress online until it came in, hurray! 

**TIP: Keep the page of the item you want up on your phone and check it every morning and afternoon because what you need to remember is that people return items and they go back online if they are returned to the warehouse.... Honestly this trick has worked wonders for me several times!

Unfortunately, to put the cons in place for this dress... I ordered a size 10 but it was too big as it was gathering at the side, however I know a size 8 wouldn't have been comfortable as I felt the neck line constantly ride up and put pressure on my neck which I didn't like. At £85 the dress would have to be perfect for me to convince myself on keeping it. Bye Bye beautiful dress :'(

I also tried on the dress back to front in the images below as it has a slight open back, providing a different fit...

The dress fit comfortably this way for me but I felt that you could tell it wasn't on the right way as the fit around the chest was not structured as I find others dresses.. Again the sides piled up me so it still had to be a no, but its so beeeeeeaaauutiiiffffffuuuulllll!!! *le cry*

Eh, moving on to the choker.. I love this choker so much! its rather to the point of not being able to describe the love! I have wanted one like this since I was little and a pearl one too! Its in the sale at £11.25 so I grabbed it straight away! So pleased with it! It makes any outfit look elegant.

In regards to the shoes, I would naturally go with sparkly heel but due to having flat feet and certainly not being able to walk in heels I went with my comfy black ones and maybe I could get away with having a sparkly black clutch or bag to match it up a little

Can't wait to graduate! And I have ordered another dress, still waiting... but hopefully I will get chance to show you guys!
Let me know what you think!?

Well, I did say my 'ways to wear video' was going to be up YESTERDAY but my god there is so much editing and pieces to put together! Around 8-10 looks in all :O I certainly won't be posting 8-10 looks on this blog however, as, well, I am sure you will all be sick of seeing check haha.

Todays look is all about using your shirt as a waist accessory. You could even wear it as a skirt but I completely forgot about that kind of styling for a shirt. I really love how the shirt has spiced my black and navy outfit up and the necklaces reflect from the white on the shirt, slightly balancing the black and white, so that the black isn't so heavy. Topping the outfit off with some monochrome croc slip ons for the complete causal vibes. I am really digging this simplistic look and I'm sure as I know try and grow my shirts collection (currently at 1 haha) I will have loads more fun with them.

P.s. ALWAYS BUY SHIRT IN TALL. Covers your bum :) hehe
