Christmas Outfit

This was my outfit from a few days ago, I was in a festive mood so I brought some Christmas magic to my clothes...

Dress - eBay

Cardigan - charity shop

Glittery leggings - Primark

Docs - hand me down

Tartan coat - River Island

I hadn't worn this dress since last year and had sort of forgotten I had it. I'm definitely going to wear it more in the run up to Christmas though and it went so well with my glittery leggings!

Halloween costume post #2

Hi! This is my costume that I wore on actual halloween. I went to a friend's birthday party (how cool would it be to be born on halloween?) and then for a night out.

This time I was Agnes from despicable me! I was really excited to do this costume, and again I didn't have to buy anything new for it!

Do you not think I look exactly like her? haha! :)

Scrunchie - had since I was little

Yellow top - pubcrawl top turned inside out (it has writing on it normally)

Dungarees - Rebel Rebel

Converse - Office

Unicorns - borrowed from a friend

It was such a fun night and I kept singing the 'unicorns I love them song'. 

The best part was I met Jake and Lemongrab while I was out!

The last picture of me and Jake is so funny, I look so possessive of him! haha :')

Thanks for reading! Please comment what you think of my costumes :) x

Halloween costume post #1

On Monday I went to town with my friends, to a halloween themed night. I don't usually like to do a 'scary' fancy dress so I went as a mermaid. I'm really proud of myself because I already had all the parts of this costume expect the skirt, so I hardly spent any money :)

Bralet - topshop sale - £3

Shell necklace - H&M sale - £2

Scale print shorts - *Alicia Zenobia - etsy shop* - approx £40

Green net - eBay - approx £2

Starfish hairclip - market stall - 30p

I already had a pair of cute orange starfish hair clips, which I got from a market in Turkey. They work out at about 30p each! 

This bralet was the closest thing I had to a shell bra, but I also didn't want to wear a top that was really skimpy. I got this shell necklace in the H&M sale, just last month which was really lucky! When I first decided to be a mermaid I hadn't even realised that I had so many accessories that I could wear with my outfit :)

These shorts are amazing! I know they're expensive but I think they're definitely worth it for being so unusual, it was because I'd bought these shorts in the summer that I wanted to dress up as a mermaid. I wanted to make a skirt/tail sort of thing because I felt a bit too exposed if I just wore the shorts on their own. I bought the green net material off ebay and it was really cheap. There were lots of different options to choose from too. I decided to make a skirt that was open at the front rather than a full tutu. 

It was really easy to do:

All I need was a long piece of ribbon (or cord, etc.) a needle and thread. I lay out the material and folded the top end over a couple of inches, the ribbon lies under this fold. Then I sewed the fold down. You now have a waistband with a ribbon running through it. To make it fit my waist I ruched the material up along the ribbon until I was satisfied with how it looked. Then I simply tied the skirt around my waist (similar to a sarong).

I hope everyone enjoyed their halloween! I'll be doing another post to show my costume from Thursday night soon! :) x

*Blue outfit with docs*

Hi, sorry I haven't written a post in ages, I've been busy with uni work.

This is my ootd from a few days ago;

Betty Boop top - vintage kilo sale

Cardigan - charity shop

Skirt - H&M

Docs - hand me down

Me and my mum went to a vintage fair last weekend, it was one where the things are priced by weight and it was £15 for a kilo of clothes. I got a few things for myself including this t-shirt, but I also got lots of stock for my *etsy shop*. I would really appreciate it if you could have a look! :)

I got these docs off Tom in the summer, they were his Mum's but they didn't fit her properly so she let me have them :) They're 8 hole ones. I'd really like some 6 hole ones too because I think they look really cute when they're just little ankle ones.

The vintage fair was really fun, but it got a bit manic at some points. They had these big bins full of clothes that everyone was searchign through and people were like throwing clothes in your face and everything. They have a website where you can see what towns they are going to :)  - *Vintage sale website*.

Birds can fly so high

This is my outfit from a few day ago, but I haven't had the chance to make a post about it until now.

Bird jumper - charity shop - £1.50

Checked shirt - charity shop - £1

Gold chain - charity shop

Black skirt - H&M - £3

Grey wool tights - Primark - £3

I got this jumper recently from a charity shop, they were having a half price sale on the clothes. I used to have the t-shirt with birds on like this, from Topshop, but I had to get rid of it this summer because it had turned kind of grey because I'd worn it so much. I was so pleased when I found this jumper in the charity shop because it can replace my bird t-shirt plus it's like the winter version! 

This is the shirt I'm wearing under the jumper. It's green and blue check. I got it from a charity shop for £1 and it has cute darned patched on it.

Also check out Tom's gorgeous pictures behind me! He's so good at drawing >.<

The Liebster Award

This is a really cool idea! I got nominated to do this by  Jodie so here we go :)

The rules: 

1) Link the blogger(s) that nominated you 

2) Answer the 10 questions your nominator has asked 

3) Keep the chain growing by nominating 10 of your favourite bloggers who have less than 200 followers, and let them know

4) Create 10 interesting questions for your nominees to answer

My Answers:

1) If you could travel in time, where would you go? 

- This is a difficult one to choose. I think probably to the 80's and I would buy myself loads of clothes and go to loads of parties with my well dressed friends. But I'd also like to go to ancient Egypt just to look around because I find them really interesting.

2) What make up item could you not live without? 

- Foundation. I'm not confident enough about my skin to not wear foundation when I go out. I use dream matte mousse.

3) If you could only watch one TV show for the rest of your life, what would it be? 

- Friends. Probably a boring answer but you just can't get sick off it. Plus there's a lot of episodes so you'd be able to spread it out more and make it last longer.

4) What's your favourite clothes shop? 

-Probably Primark because it's so cheap and it gets a good rang of stuff in. Either that or this vintage shop in Newcastle which I think is called Best Vintage, it has all the type of vintage clothes I like and none of the stuff I don't (like longer formal dresses).

5) The best holiday you've ever been on? 

Japan when I was nine. I went with my Mum and stayed with her friend who had moved there to be an English teacher. He helped us do loads of amazing stuff we couldn't have done without him. Like I got to take part in this parade/festival and join in a dance that one of the schools was performing in it. We also went to the Disneyland in Tokyo.

6) What would your idea of a perfect day be? 

Me and my Mum watch some episodes of a programme we like in the morning while we have breakfast, then we both go and get ready. We go do a table top sale/market stall and we both manage to get rid of a load of stuff and make a decent profit. The weather's not too cold but not too hot either. On the way back we would stop at little Sainsburys and buy some snacks and treats, definitely one of those pizza swirls and a cheese twist from the bakery bit. When we get back in I'd make her a pot of tea and she'd make me a coffee because we're both better at making the other one's drinks. We'd spend the evening watching box sets and eating our snacks and chatting and sharing all our in jokes :)

7) What country have you never been to, but really want to visit?

Probably Australia because the weather's so nice and everyone goes on about it being an amazing holiday place.

8) Favourite band/artist? 

All time low

9) If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be and why? 

I would be my friend Maya from Wales because she is awesome at life. She has a really good attitude to everything and I love the way she interacts with people. I'd like to be able to do that :)

10) What 3 words best describe you? 

Happy, Funny and Excitable.

Black Lab

Hi :)

Today is absolutely freezing and my radiators are not coming on -.-

I had to leave the house today even though it's ridiculously windy and keeps pouring with rain at random points throughout the day. I had science, but at least I didn't have to cross the bridge to get there because yesterday I thought I was going to get blown off it. The charm of the North East everyone.

Outfit...

Checked shirt - hand me down - Topshop

Black Lab vest - o-mighty.com

High waisted shorts - diy

Grey wool tights - Primark

Converse - Office

BLACK LAB VEST

For anyone who doesn't know, this is a jokey version of Black Flag's logo (they're a band). They're one of Tom's favourite bands and Black Labradors are my favourite dogs so I thought this was an appropriate top to own. I also bought the other one which says 'Pug Flag' and has 4 pugs, because guess what... PUGS ARE MY SECOND FAVOURITE DOG! It just seemed too good to ignore that those two dogs were the two options for these tops. You should really check out the website because they have some amazing unique looking stuff! I want so many things from there, but I put myself on a ban today; I'm gonna try and not buy myself any clothes until Christmas. This is the website - o-mighty.com

DIY HIGH WAISTED SHORTS

I'm wearing these shorts again that I made. They used to be a big pair of Mom type jeans from Asda, but I got them for £1 from the charity shop. I thought I'd start off practicing on a cheap pair of jeans in case I messed them up.

VINTAGE RAIN COAT

The only good thing about it raining today is that I got to wear my new coat! I bought this in the summer holidays and this is the first chance I've had to wear it. I got it in the sale at a vintage shop in Newcastle for £20. It's so cute! The sleeves are a bit short but I don't care because I love it so much <3
