Box With The Kangeroo

song of the day - Death Wish by Lloyd Banks

 dress - UrbanOutfitters (currently on sale for £12). boots - Dune. socks - Primark.

I've been wearing my old boots pretty much every day for around 2 years, and it's time to retire them. They've been worn so much the leather has thinned, and there are now two little wholes in the right boot. I do still love them, and haven't managed to throw them out (yet), but I did buy these boots as a replacement a few weeks ago. They're from the same brand (Dune), so let's hope they last just as long.

With The Wrong Attitude

song of the day - Nice Guys Finish Last by Cobra Starship

top&jumper - Primark. trousers - Zara.

Sometimes you see something in the sale that you really want, but don't exactly need so you don't buy it. Then, when you go back online later because you've decided you actually really do need them they've sold out. That's the story behind these trousers. I was absolutely gutted, then I managed to find them in the big Zara in Manchester, where I immediately snatched them up before I could change my mind. Again.

I mean, green corduroy bell-bottoms are just a must, right? Well, maybe not, but who cares. They were only £7.99.

I'm Afraid I can't

song of the day - I'm Afraid Of Americans by david Bowie

dress - H&M. top - Zara. underthingy to protect what little modesty I have - Primark.

Wasn't the snow lovely! Thankfully I wasn't actually out in it in this outfit, otherwise my legs would have dropped off from frostbite. A few toes certainly came close. I pretty much spent the snow day snuggled up in my dressing gown, only venturing out to take a few photos of the prettiness.

I do love this dress, but it's not often I wear it. The material snags quite easily, so I have to be very careful about where I'm walking while wearing it. That's not an easy thing for me, if I go a day without bumping into something I consider it a miracle.

The snow only stuck around for about 24 hours, I was very disappointed. The only good thing about it was that here wasn't much of a slushy aftermath, so I was able to go to work without donning my wellies.

You Found Me

song of the day - I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift

jumper - souvenir from my brother. skirt - Zara. 

Shorts skirts, big jumpers, that's pretty much my aesthetic. I'll be rocking a miniskirt along with my stickered zimmer when I'm 80.

It snowed yesterday/last night, and I love it! Mostly because I'm not in work until Tuesday, so I don't have to battle the weather on my commute.

She Caused A Scene

song of the day - Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

top & skirt - Zara. tights - Primark. 

With Christmas over my hours have gone back down at work; no more working 6 days a week (for the foreseeable future)! This means I actually have time to sit down and catch up with the blogging world. Be it writing my own blog, or reading others, I love relaxing with my wifi.
For my first outfit post of the year I thought I'd go with an old favourite: Zara. I still remember when we first got Zara in my hometown, it was lust at first sight. 8 years later and we now have a love that will never die, Ross and Rachel ain't got shit on us.
I'm not a big wearer of white (I say this every time I do a outfit post wearing anything white), but this skirt just had to come home with me last year. The shape, and material is just perf! Zara know how to make a good pencil skirt, they always fit perfectly.

You Know She Wrote It

song of the day - It's All About The Benjamins by Puff Daddy

With Christmas just round the corner I've barely had a chance to dress nicely and go anywhere. Seriously, working retail during Christmas is brutal.  If I'm not at work then I don't really feel like going out. T'is the season for works Christmas do's though, so I thought I'd throw an outfit together that could be worn to one. 

I bought this dress over the weekend from Select, and I fell in love with is as soon as I saw it. The colour is gorgeous, and at £13.99 it's was a bargain. I always seem to buy a red dress at this time of year, this is the third year in a row I've done so. Usually they get worn on Christmas Eve when I get together with my family.

The Skies Were Bigger

song of the day - Run Run by Those Dancing Days

sunset 6/11/15

dress & choker - H&M. card - Primark.

November is here (and has been for 2 weeks, whoops), and the weather definitely matches the month. I managed to catch a cold over the weekend at work, so instead of going to the Christmas markets today I'm staying in bed.
This outfit is from around a month ago, I've just not had time to keep up with the blogging world. That's one good thing about being ill, I can catch up with all the blog posts I haven't been able to read in the past month.

I Wish Your Friends Would Leave Me Alone

song of the day - This Is An Emergency by Pigeon Detectives

skirt & shirt - H&M

Everyone needs a little sparkle in their life sometime. I've been wanting a black sequinned skirt for about a year now, but it's taken a while for me to actually find one that fits right. This beauty caught my eye in H&M and it was lust at first sight.
Black sequinned skirts always remind me of Angel from Rent because she wears one in the "Take Me Or Leave Me" scene (and looks stunning in it).

The perfect lipstick colour to go with a sparkly skirt? Red of course. Then again red lipstick goes with pretty much everything if you can find the right shade. MAC's recent Guo Pei collection launched a few weeks ago and I managed to get Brave Red before if sold out.
Brave Red is described as a 'bright yellow red'. I wouldn't really call it bright though, it's more of a muted red on me, and thankfully it's not too yellow. It's a Creamsheen, so it's not drying and has a nice coverage.
The Guo Pei collection has the loveliest packaging in the world. The lipstick comes with kind of a sleeve in a stunning print. If you don't know who Guo Pei is, they are a fashion designer. To me she is most famous for designing Rihanna's dress for the Met Gala, y'know the big yellow one?
I believe this colour is in the permanent collection, so you can still buy it (just without the pretty packaging).

Your Web, I'm Caught

song of the day - Poison by Alice Cooper 

I am so ready for Halloween. I probably won't be going out on the actual day (unless I have to work), but you bet your ghosts I'll be watching all my favourite Halloween movies. Hocus Pocus, HalloweenTown, Casper, and then at night I'll have to watch at least one Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddie was always my favourite horror movie baddie, although I do have a soft spot for old Jeepers Creepers.

I bought this necklace as part of a set from H&M last week and I love it. Spiders terrify me (we'll ignore this from a few days ago), but I do love a good spiders web.

dress - Primark. necklace - H&M.

She Woke Up Late

song of the day - All That She Wants - Kooks

jumper & skirt - Primark

Autumn has hit, and now it's time for thick jumpers and knee high socks. The leaves are changing and the weathers turning. I'm so excited for Halloween, and Christmas shopping. The only thing I'm not excited about is the clocks changing at the end of the month. An extra hour in bed? Fab. The sun going down at 4pm? Not so great.

I really need to get my jumpers out and washed, but to tide me over until then I've bought this cute roll neck from Primark. I was tempted to buy it in multiple colours, but I stayed strong and only purchased the one. Now if I happen to go back to Primani and see them again, well...

My Favourite Part Of Me

song of the day - Ugly Side by Blue October

How about a last hoorah to Summer and sunshine and warmth! I managed to nab this cute dress for £7 last week in the New Look sale. I'd fallen in love with it pre-sale, but managed to stay away from it. When I saw it on the rail though, and in my size, I just had to have it.
Now that it's getting colder I'll be sure to wear this little number with knee highs and a blouse, or tights and a cuddly jumper. Totally getting my moneys worth.
Have you found anything in the sales this time round?

dress - New Look.

You Know What It Means To Me

song of the day - Respect by Aretha Franklin

 dress - Villa

 Every so often I'll pull something out of my wardrobe that I haven't worn in years, and give it a spin. I bought this cute little number in 2013, and haven't worn it since that year.

Simple Things

song of the day - My Paper Heart by All American Rejects

 Some days I do just look like I've rolled out of bed and put on the first clean thing I've found. Probably because that's exactly what I do half the time.

Round Three

song of the day - Knockin' by Travis Barker ft Snoop , Ludacris, E-40 & Dev.

Life has become so hectic at the minute. If I'm not at work then I'm applying for new jobs, and preparing for interviews. It feels like I don't get a minute to myself. I have today off, and I'm back in work tomorrow, so today I'm just going to chill out and do nothing.

I have been trying to plan out some blog posts, but it isn't going very well. Blogging for me has always and will always be just a hobby. It's never been something that I wanted to make into a job, because I think it could become a bit monotonous if I did. Even if my career direction went into something blogging related this blog would always be my little fun hobby. I love taking photographs, playing with makeup, and trying to have a bit of fun with my wardrobe, and I hope that fun continues.

The above outfit photos were taken almost exactly 2 months ago. I honestly can't remember what else I did that day. Why I wore this, or where I went. My dress is from Motel, and I probably should have sized up because it is very tight. Now, I don't mind tight clothing, but I can't do up the hook at the back of my neck without strangling myself (whoops). The shorts are my faves, and are from F21, and the shirt is an oldie from Topshop.

Get Your Act Together

song of the day - Wannabe by Spice Girls

 In my last post I was transported to the 70's, this time I'm firmly in the 90's. Sporty Spice called and wants her outfit back. This is probably my most comfortable outfit ever. It's the one I go for when I have to leave the house on my day off, but aren't really going anywhere special. Basically it's my fuck-I-have-no-food-in/best-get-to-Asda outfit.

I haven't worn trainers in around 3 years, but for the past year I've been lusting after a pair of New Balance's. When I finally decided to buy a pair it took me forever to pick the right ones. After a while I managed to find these beauties on ASOS and it was love at first sight.

Notify My Next Of Kin

My aesthetic? Patsy Stone without the drugs and alcohol.

It's no secret that I have been loving the seventies trend this year. When I spotted this skirt on the Missguided website a few weeks ago I knew I had to have it. They also have it in blue which I will not buy. I won't. Promise!

These Chanel Bags Is A Bad Habit

song of the day - Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj ft Beyonce

Beyonce is Queen. Not a queen, or the queen, just Queen (don't forget the capital letter!). Bey is probably my biggest inspiration; she is a businesswoman, a mother, a friend, a sister, a wife. She is everything. I honestly don't know how Bey finds the time to do everything she does.
If you've not seen the Feeling Myself video (Nicki, my babe!) then you're probably wondering what the hell my outfit has to do with Queen Bey. In the vid (which is awesome and y'all should go watch asap) Yonce wears a red Bulls body similar to the one I'm wearing above. As soon as I saw the body on Instagram I knew I had to have it! I may not have Beys curves, but I think it looks alright.
