I bored at uni..


Grey beanie: American Apparel
Navy beanie: mens Urban Outfitters

Hey,

I bored at uni, so I decided to share with you guys my favourite hats! ^^ I am in actual fact meant to be writing my dissertation but instead I am listening to Lana Del Rey and staring into space.

I would love some good study tips if anyone has any?!
Honestly, my concentration skills are next to none and I have no idea how I made it this far in the education system with my lacking concentration. Alas, here I am in my last year, it makes no sense.

Anyways I will write another 1000 words today even if it kills me!

Yes I am an awkward turtle


Jumper: Vintage
Shirt: H&M sale
Belt: Ralph Lauren
Tartan jeans: H&M kids
Shoes: Converse
Bracelets: Topshop/H&M

I am quite socially awkward, it comes with being a crazy art student I think... maybe not, maybe its inherited, it's definitely inherited. 
I digress, it was another uni day and another crazy outfit. One day I will post a normal-ish outfit but until that day you will be forced to look at my weird outfits which I honestly love the most.

I had my last day at work on Sunday, so I am now unemployed which is possibly the weirdest feeling in the world, but its my last year at university so it means I don't actually have any more free time.

On another note, those trousers are a good 4 years old and bought in H&M kids on a whim, and every now and again I bring them out and hurray myself for still being able to fit into my 17 year old self's jeans. Does anyone else shop kids clothes?
I have a massive problem, I am unable to throw clothes away and I never deem them in good enough condition to sell on so I keep them and wear them randomly, like those trousers.

Hectic week this week, with loads of art to create and a dissertation to write, wish me luck!

How's everyone else's week going?

Everyday I'm hustling...

 I dropped my skittles...
 I got my skittles...
and finally I ate my skittles...
Beanie: American Apparel
Jumper: My mormor made it
Denim shirt: New Look
Jeans: Monki
Boots: Doc Martens

Hey guys!
Back so soon.. I know right I am just so organised. NATT! ^^
Just another casual day at uni, though to be honest I don't really ever get a chance to dress up, so theres not much chance of seeing formal outfits on this blog >< I really do like the whole jumper over shirt combo, its definitely a style I wear throughout most of winter and into spring, its easy, cool and most of all warm and its awesome when the shirt clashes with the jumper... you wait until I get my massive mustard coloured jumper out and you'll all be in for a shock (of colour). ^^
I must apologise for potentially offending you with the close ups of my face, but I found them funny and I thought I would share my story of the skittles. BTW I am addicted to skittles and to be frank anything that has a lot of sugar in it that isn't chocolate, I hate chocolate YUCK!

Did anyone go to christmas lights celebrations in Westfield on Tuesday, where Taylor Swift sang?
It was amazing, she's such a little cutie and has the most amazing voice live!
Have a lovely Friday tomorrow!
Ciao.

As a little exclaimer: These photos were taken by my wonderful friend Dani <3 nbsp="nbsp">

A moment of naughtiness...

NARS: Beautiful Darling -£34.50

Pardon the bad quality photo it was taken with my phone and then posted on Instagram...
Well as I mentioned in my last post, I missed out on the Marilyn Monroe vs Mac collection and I didn't want to miss out on anything else so I caved and bought something from the NARS vs Andy Warhol collection! I was so very excited because I have always really admired Andy Warhol for not only his art but also for the way he saw the world.
I recently read 'Popism' which was based around his art crowd and the society in the USA at the time it was a truly awesome book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys his work. Nonetheless I initially wanted the 'Edie Sedgwick' gift set but it was way more than I wanted to spend on make up at around £54, I'm slightly sad I didn't because Edie has always been a style idol of sorts to me, with her effortless cool, but I am happy with what I got.
The main question I have been asking myself is whether or not I will be brave enough to try the look out, the set comes with a nail polish in candy darling, femme fatale duo eye shadow and a lipgloss in Woman in revolt larger than life and of course the lovely make-up bag. Overall a lovely gift set.
How lovely do the self portrait duo/trio eye shadows look? Have a look Here.

Ciao.

A day at the Saatchi Gallery.





Scarf: DIY
Hat: UO
Jumper: Topshop
Denim shirt: New Look
Jeans: Topshop
Coat: Pull&Bear
Boots: Doc Martens


Hey guys!

Just a quick update of what I wore out on a recent gallery visit. The photos were kindly taken by my beautiful photographer friend Dani ^^ I am so very grateful to my camera owning friends. I wouldn't actually know what to call my style seeing as it changes so often, but I am very much leaning towards grunge sometimes and other times just weird...
I've really been loving my Russian Red by Mac AND oh me god I am so sad I missed out on the Marilyn Monroe and Mac limited edition collection..=( they had completely sold out when I got there!
On another note I would say the Saatchi is very much worth visiting at the moment, a lot of photography going on and also the Karl Lagerfield 'The little black Jacket' is currently on and that alone was amazing.
Been to any cool exhibitions lately?

Ciao!

A warm head wish list

a warm head


I have thoroughly been enjoying my Urban Outfitters beanie that has been posted here before, I've always been a massive hat person but I've never really invested in a hat before. Hats have always been something that don't last further than a season before I lose them or someone steals it off me. I know I know everyone and their cat have one of the hats on my wishlist above, but I do not care! I really want the red Obey beanie the most and I will probably have it by the end of the month, though I quite like the supreme grey and red one too, its just so understated. 
I really wish I could pull of the 'comme des fuckdown'... but my family would be less than pleased with me.
Anyone else investing in anything this winter?
ciao!

My day in two images...




I spent a lot of my day in the British Library studying for my dissertation, as you can see in the first image I was not very amused, although having said that it was extremely productive!

Then I was very ungracefully rescued by my best friend and we proceeded to attack Platform 9 3/4 we were so ready to start a new term in Hogwarts! The highlight was probably spending the whole train journey back comparing American politics to Pokemon. ><

All in all a very good day ^^

It was super fun and we got to totally nerd out over EVERYTHING! ^^ we formed a small Pikachu army and basically attacked everyone and thing. If anyone took picture with us I would love to see them! email them my way!
Hope everyone is well!

The yellow brick road...

Head to toe: DIY scarf, Vintage knit, topshop jeans and doc martens.


Urban outfitters mens hat, Friis & co rucksack



I wish I could tell you where they are from but my rings are mostly from market stalls.

I decided that I am going to stop neglecting my blog and start posting again! It does help that I have the most awesome friend that has agreed to take photocos of me being awkward *highfive* .
These were taken quite randomly across Brick Lane on our mission to get disco pants in the American Apparel warehouse sale and to see awesome graffiti!
The first half of the mission failed *sad face*  the disco pants were gone gone gone! BUT! thats not to say they didn't have other cool very discounted stuff because they totally did. *nods*
If thou is an avid graffiti fan then Brick Lane/ Shoreditch is definitely the place to go.

On that high note I am out, I leave with the promise of more uploading soon (hopefully).
Ciao!

my new obsession...

crop images

My new bikini... I think I posted on my tumblr and other blog that my life mission was to get my hands on a one teaspoon eagle shadows bikini and well they finally came bad in stock after being out of stock for AGES I was so sure I was never gonna get one. But I did! The only thing I'm bummed about is the fact that they made me pay a custom fee of £21.99 and wouldn't release it until it was paid. That meant I had paid around £101 for this Bikini... D= it was a horrifying amount! I hope it lasts me forever, I already have outfits planned for it and the top half I will be using as a bralet more often than a bikini top.
Happy Days!
love you guys and sorry it's been so long =[

Part one of something that might have potential


Heya.. yeah I know this is a late one but its morning somewhere in the world ^^.

This is a little experiment I am trying out. I have always had a lot of trouble curling my hair, its totally possible but because I have such fine hair it just falls out (the curl not the hair), and I usually have to plait it to get it to stay the longest but I don't thing that counts as proper curls, its more wavy than anything.
Oh how I have always yearned for that elegant curl, alas my hair won't allow it. So I was searching up alternative curling methods that don't apply heat, and I found this one where you basically twist your hair into curls, pin it and leave over night and BOOM in the morning you have graciously bouncy hair.
Well so it says on the tin.

I will try it out for you guys and update you in the morning.

I only have about 100 pins in my hair and I so dread having to remove them all in the morning. But its all part of the fun I suppose!

Night night Bambinos!

OOTD o.0











Hoiiiiii,
Just a quickie on what I wore to uni yesterday (technically since I blog so damn late).
H&M riding pants like leggings
Topshop scallop edged tank
Charity shop burned out blouse.
I did wear my Topshop creepers but I couldn't fit them in =[

So yar pardon the awkward poses but I was asked to do more out of the day's by my friend so I thought hey why not.
Hope you are all well and enjoying life sorry I've been a little AWOL but I've not had the best of times lately, but I pray for better times.

My glossy box

This months limited edition glossybox, I was well excited when I first read they were doing their second limited edition box for valentines.
My contained:
Eyeko skinny eyeliner in plum.
ORLY nail polish in ruby.
Weleda one step cleanser and toner.
FAB gentle body wash.
Murad hybrids skin perfecting primer in dewy finish.
AND
A glossybox sweetie!

I can honestly say that I'm happy with all the samples I received this month though they aren't really valentines special if that makes any sense. I would have liked there to be a lipstick and a floral perfume sample. But hey Ho you can't have it all. I'll be trying it all out in the next couple of weeks and letting you know how it goes. I'm still so in love with their packaging, and on that note is it sad I really want a YSL lipstick purely because of the beautiful case it comes in?!?
Anywho...
I must love ya and leave ya
Ciao

blink blink







Cheeky chicas...

image one: Left eye no mascara and the right eye with the Thick and Fast Soap and glory mascara

image two: my eyes..

image three: The badass mascara.

I got this little baby free in this months Elle or next month o.0 not too sure. Nonetheless it was a freebie, and a wonderful one at that. When I first looked at it I was like WTH the wand was MASSIVE! and I thought I would poke my eyes out but to be honest its a nice change from the runny blink+go mascara I got in last months glossy box. My lashes aren't as long as with my Clarins one but they are beautifully separated and I don't feel like they weigh a bloody tonne.

overall 8/10! yay!

rings with a dash of pink



HELLO PEEPS!

Just a quick post as I am going out to get a piercing now. Keep it hush hush!
My once purple hair has faded out into this beautiful pink colour =] so thats happy days I think I will be keeping the colour since I really like it! Which is good, considering I wasn't sure of it to start with.
Oh me gosh, for the first time all the rings on my fingers are from ... ASOS. shock horror! I usually always wear a mixture of brands but no ASOS have had some pretty awesome ones lately! Finally my lipstick, its old but I like how it turned out on camera so I thought I would mention it. It's Chatter Box by Mac.
Anyways must dash off to Camden Town now! ^^

peace and love

They said Aubergine.




So basically I didn't just pay £50 to get my hair professionally Ombre'ed just to ruin it with £4.99 'aubergine' coloured hair dye o.0.... maybe I did. It burns me inside!! In my defence, it's totally semi permanent! so its good times! It'll fade after a few washes and eventually be completely gone! so yeah!
I kind love and hate it. oh well lets see how I fair tomorrow morning! ^^

Night night

Strawberry hills





ELLO chicas!

Just thought I would post some photos of the kinda thing I've been rolling in recently, mostly tees and this swanky strawberry hat! I just wish I could skate board! I will be able to just need to try maybe lol!
anyways I created a tweeter as I call it lol and you can add me if you must! ><
Furthermore, THEY ARE OPENING A MONKI IN LONDON... (carnaby street in mid feb) I'm super excited! And I'm seeing Christina Perri IN LIKE 3 WEEKS! These next two months will kill me I'm so excited!
On other news the t-shirt I'm wearing is from Monki and the hat is River Island (surprisingly never buy anything from there o.o).

Hope you all transitioned beautifully into the new year!

Love ya!
