Fashion Friday

If you love something, buy it in every colour

I don't try to live by many mantras, but this is something that I am definitely guilty of. After my last shopping trip I realized I had bought things I already had, but just a different colour, so I thought today's post could be around that idea. I also want to apologise for the quality of the pictures, my camera didn't want to play, and I didn't have all day. (Oo I'm  a poet.)

Skater Skirts

New Look // Topshop

For me, there is something about wearing tights that just make me feel feminine. I don't know why, it just does. I'm not really a jeans girl, and I just got stuck wearing leggings all the time. I started by getting this black skirt from Topshop, and then over Christmas I saw my friend in this New Look one, so I just had to snatch it up when I saw it on my last shopping trip.

Both New Look

I always used to wear my black skirt, so picked one up with some colour to it, as I seem to be a slave to black at times.

Both Topshop

These jumpers/tops are soo comfy, and after living in my blue one, I picked it up on white. They are just sooo comfortable.

Topshop

Comfort is a massive factor in the way I dress, and this jumper from Topshop is just that. I love it, soo comfy and cosy and just gorgeous.

Topshop

Rachel bought the green version of this dress on a shopping trip with me, and then on another I bought the reddish one, and then decided I just loved it so much, I had to get it in green too. I am a copy cat, and I don't care.

So are you like me? Or do you think I'm plain silly like my lovely mom does?

Fashion Friday - Sparkle With Every Step

I spotted these beautiful boots, when shopping with a friend, however they didn't have my size. Then when I was in Bristol I struck lucky and managed to nab a pair.

The heel is hardly anything which makes them super comfortable, but still gives you a little lift.

I just love the sparkly detail on the back, I think it is perfect for this time of year.

I just had to share them with you, and you can pick them up from New Look for £24!

What do you think?

Fashion Friday

I was inspired to write this post from reading Anna's blog, where she wrote about a pair of Zara heels she had purchased, which she said were just impracticable for day time, but so pretty. You can read the post here.
Anyway, this got me thinking about the ridiculous amount of heels I own, that hardly get worn due to their impracticability, yet are so pretty.

This first pair are from Tesco, and I actually haven't worn them yet, and I got them this time last year, it's shame full. I love them, I think they're absolutely gorgeous, but they have no platform, so kill after a couple of minutes, and I look like a pregnant duck when I walk in them. But they'reee soo pretty! They look nice when I just put them together with outfits though, I'm not the only one who does that right?

I got these in New Look in the sale last summer, and I love them, but the one night I wore them I got very drunk and kind of fell over in them, so I'm scared to wear them again. But I love them, and think they're a great pair to have in my collection!

I saw these in New Look in September, fell in love, bought them in a mad rush of air to the head (we all get that right?) and wore them on one night out, and am yet to wear them again. They are very high, and I'm 5 7" as it is, all my friends being 5 4" so, I probably shouldn't of got them, but boy they're so pretty!

Ah, these guys are made by Barrettes, but I got them from Dotty P's. I wore them in a recent OTN, and kind of fell in them and hurt my foot, so have not had chance to wear them again, but I do love them. I had lusted after them for a while, and then they went on sale and ended up in a shopping bag.

Do you have heels you bought 'cause they're pretty, yet don't wear them?

Fashion Friday: Spring Time Outfit

(Please excuse the 'deer in headlights' look I am sporting!)

Coat: George at Asda

Vest: H&M

Leggings: Topshop

Top: New Look

Wellies: George at Asda

So in case you've been living under a rock you will be aware that it has been raining pretty much non stop in England. What with it being May now, and still no appearance of the dear sunshine, I thought I would do a bit of a tounge in cheek post, 'cause ya know, if you don't laugh you will cry.

In the spirit of taking the michael, I though I'd show you my awesome (if I do say so myself) High School Musical wellies. I was and still am a bit of a Disney sucker, and High School Musical was a fine piece of television, highly anticipated was two and three. So when I was in Asda, years ago, I spotted these little guys (in the kid's section) and squeezed my feet into them, and here we go.

I also love the way this coat just flows up, and I definitely won't be getting lost wearing it. And that ends my little Spring OOTD.

What's your guilty pleasure?

Fashion Friday - Spring Cardigan

Cardigan - Topshop

Vest - New Look

Vest - H&M

Leggings - Topshop

Shoes - F&F @ Tesco

I got this beaut of a cardigan off of my besties for my birthday last year, as I saw it, fell in love then looked at the price tag (damn you Topshop.) It is the perfect cardigan for spring and summer, it's light yet heavy, super comfy and airy with being warm. 

I love the colours, the pattern, the detail and the fabric. Basically I love it, and am begging the sunshine to come back so that I can wear it more!

What's your favourite Spring item?

Face and Outfit from Saturday Night

If you read my What I Wore this Week post Sunday, you will know that on Saturday night we all ended up going out and celebrating my friends birthday, which ensued with me drinking slightly too much, feeling hungover, sorry for myself, and deciding I'm pretty much over drinking.

Also as I love seeing what other people wear I thought I'd share my outfit and my make-up.

Top: New Look

Skirt: New Look

Shoes: Barretts from Dorothy Perkins 

I borrowed this top from my friend, and I really like it, it's lovely and flowy and hides a multitude of sins (mainly, the lovely thing we call back fat!) I wear this skirt practically every time I go out, it's so versatile. This was the first time I'd worn these shoes and they were surprisingly comfy, until I accidentlly tilted to the side in the walking to the taxi and have killed my foot!

I promise my cheeks weren't actually that red and I wasn't that shiny!

On my face I decided to go for a golden smokey eye, I usually just do a brown one, but hey, you only live once! I also decided to add a flush of colour to my cheeks using MAC's Frankly Scarlett (review to come) and then a nice nude lip.I love this lipstick as it's glossy too, so I only need to take that out.

Face:

Rimmel Match Perfect Foundation

Collection 2000 Concealer

Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer

Max Factor Cream Puff Powder

Eyes:

Maybelline Color Tatto in On and On Bronze

Loreal Colour Infallible Sahara Treasure

Loreal Super Liner

Sleek Brow Kit in Light

Cheeks:

What are your must haves for a night out?

Fashion Friday

Spring seems to be such a popular time for a wedding. Unfortunately for me, I've got none to attend, but if I was, I would probably wear this:

Blazer - New Look

Dress  - George at Asda 

Shoes - Matalan 

Clutch - Accessorize 

Just in case you have got a wedding to go to, I've put together a couple of nice wedding-esque outfits for you, 'cause I'm nice like that!

Which outfit are you liking?

Happy Friday :)

Fashion Friday

Been as though there have been about three consecutive days of sunshine, in the UK!!! I thought it only right that I dedicate today's Fashion Friday to the Summer dress! (Even though the sun is no-where to be seen today!)

I got this dress from New Look around this time last year, for around £11, put it in my Wardrobe, and forgot about it!!! So I fully intend to get some wear out of it this year.

Shoes- New Look

Cardigan - Ralph Lauren - It is my pride & joy - Got it in America for around £20!

Shoes- River Island

Blazer - H&M

Shoes - New Look

New Look/River Island/New Look

So these are three looks that I just put together, I think the last one would be great for a job interview or an occasion that warrants smarter attire and the second great for a BBQ or beer garden.

Have you seen any lovely spring dresses, I would love to have a look?

Happy Friday :)

I thought I'd do another little photo collage, cause I like doing it, and it's my blog, and stops me doing uni work!

Fashion Friday

It's finally Friday again, I can hear you all cheering. I hope I gave you some interesting blogs to read last week, and I am now back with a bit of a haul type of post.

Since I said I would try hard not to buy make-up, I've ended up buying more clothes, 'cause I apparently have a inability to not spend money, but I thought I would share my new purchases with you, 'cause I'm nice like that!

Top - Warehouse - Was £28 now £15

Shorts - New Look

Leggings - Topshop

Shoes- Missguided

I got this top from Warehouse this week as it was in the sale. I really like stripes and think the shoulder detailing is really lovely. It can be worn with jeans, leggings, skirts etc. I think it is a great versatile top.

Top - Warehouse - Was £28 now £15

Vest - George at Asda

Jeans - Primark

Shoes - Missguided

Another Warehouse sale item, I love the contrast in materials and it's thin enough to be worn in summer as well as winter. (Sorry for the bad pictures!)

Top - Topshop - £12

Shorts: George at Asda

Blazer - H&M

Scarf - Gift

Shoes - Primark

Jumper - Topshop

I really love simple vests, and this Topshop one is great. I love how the collar can appear through tops, and I love the way its quite floaty. The arm and button detailing also wins me over!

Jumper - Topshop - £36

Top - Topshop

Shorts - George at Asda

Shoes - River Island

Jacket - Miss Selfridge

Vest - H&M

Leggings - Topshop

Boots - New Look

I would normally squirm at the price of this jumper, I only actually took it into the changing room to try on with something else, but loved it so much I had to get it. It really doesn't photograph well, but a gorgeous oversized jumper which again can be summer and winter wear.

Blazer - New Look - £22.99

Dress - Dorothy Perkins

Shoes - Primark

Vest - H&M

Leggings - Topshop

Boots - New Look

You may remember another Fashion Friday post where I mentioned blazers, well I saw this in New Look that weekend, and feel a teeny bit in love. I'm slightly gutted that you can get one similar in primark for cheaper, but I love this blazer. A gorgeous pop of colour for the coming months. 

I got 10% discount on all of these items 'cause I'm student, but I think they are all well priced (bar the jumper) and I love adding to my wardrobe, and can't wait for summer!

Have you bought any new items lately?

Happy Friday :)

Laura xoxo
