one of those days

My sympathies to anyone having "one of those days", suck don't they?! I got hardly any sleep last night so my skin is a mess today (& I have HUGE shadows under my eyes, hence the looking down poses hah) and I've been all tired & miserable, then all my IntenseDebate comments disappeared from my last post, grr!

top & tights: next

skirt: h&m, obviously hah.

I originally had the top sort of tied together, so a bit of my belly was showing, if that makes any sense? It actually looked better like that but I didn't feel comfortable so I resorted to tucking it in.

Anyone watch x-factor last night? I'm falling in love with Kelly Rowland! How cute was that boy who was in love with her?! I loved Johnny too, he seems like such a genuinely nice person :) I also loved Craig Colton (I think that was his name anyway) & the girl whose name I can't remember, but she was raised by her auntie?

Hope you've had a lovely day so far!

A/W capsule wardrobe ideas

I'm really sorry if I'm boring you by going on about university, but it's basically all I can think about at the moment! I was thinking that, since I'm going to be a skint student, I should try and get a capsule wardrobe. Anyone got any ideas on what I can include? I've been messing around on polyvore trying to come up with ideas but it'd be really nice to have your input :).

bag: aldo at asos, £40

snood: miss selfridge, £16

top: topshop, £40

skirt: h&m, £19.99

shoes: topshop, £60

coat: h&m, £34.99

What other sort of items would you suggest?

Have you started A/W shopping yet? What are your A/W essentials?

Have a good day!

wishlist wednesday

Am I the only one that thinks this year's A/W stock is a little bit better than usual? Seriously, I want everything!

1. This jumper, £12.99 from h&m.

2. You know the band t-shirts in h&m at the moment? Well I like too many of them to include pictures of all of them, but I want The Beatles one, the Ramones one, the Guns'n'roses one and the Rolling Stones one. This is the link to them. I'm relatively sure there was one picture of the model and then they just photoshopped the t-shirts on top of her. That probably makes no sense, but if you click the link and flick through the photos you might get what I mean. Oh, and they're £9.99 (though I'm sure they were only £7.99 in the catalogue, could be wrong though).

3. These boots from h&m, £39.99. They came in a different colour in the catalogue but I can't find it on the website :/ I just think they'd be perfect paired with tights & cable-knits in the winter! I have a code for 25% off so I'm definitely considering getting them!

What's on your wishlist? Are you excited for A/W clothing?

P.S., can you tell a h&m leaflet was delivered today hah.

twirl

Afternoon! I've had a lovely lazy day (again) today, just got lots of reading done and took the dog out for a walk. Also took outfit photos up my Bampy's house, the dog looked very confused by this random turn of events.

top & skirt: h&m

tights: not sure, i have too many pairs of tights hah.

shoes: primark (they're leopard print, not sure if you can tell).

I've been panicking about uni accommodation because it seems like everyone else has been told about their accommodation and I haven't! But I tweeted Aberystwyth yesterday and they replied saying I'll find out from Wednesday onwards :) They also e-mailed me today to tell me about a welcome booklet they're sending me and all the e-mails I should expect to receive. They have a really awesome service, I haven't even left yet and they've already made me feel really welcome! What university are you going to? What will you study? Oh, before I forget, good luck to everyone who gets their GCSE results soon!

Have a read of this website, it's been keeping me amused for a while now!

On another, less positive note, my mother's just informed me I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. I HATE DENTISTS. waaaaaah.

Have a good day!

superstar, where y' from, how's it going?

My nails are based on this post from Beauty By Kayla Shevonne. Now obviously I'm nowhere near as good as she is so my nails are far worse but I don't think I did too bad for a first attempt.

.

I used different colours to Kayla because I didn't have a white polish good enough for the base. The base is OPI Pearl Of Wisdom, the cobalt blue is Blue My Mind by H&M and the turquoise colour is For Audrey by China Glaze, one of my all time favourite polishes. Then I used a Models Own top coat. The colours Kayla used are so much better than the ones I used, and I also forgot to do the little spots, but it still looks alright, ish haha.

P.S. if you don't already follow Super Gorgeous then you should check it out, she's just passed 500 GFC followers so she's doing a giveaway!

i love my twirly skirt

i wore this to visit my nan in her nursing home, despite the fact it was raining, because she likes it when girls wear skirts. bless her.

skirt, shirt & necklace - h&m

ring - wallis

t-shirt - f&f at tesco

sheer tights - i'm not sure

i should probably try doing an outfit post without wearing something from h&m once, i just can't help myself! it really is the only shop that i always find something worth buying, and it's so reasonably priced that it'd be rude not to...

ootd - i really need to learn how to pose

this was actually yesterday's outfit but i didn't get around to posting about it. i wore this over my boyfriend's house & i tend to think more carefully about what i wear in case his mother judges me based on my appearance haha.

tights, belt & skirt: all h&m

top: dorothy perkins

what do you think?

blue my mind

i didn't even make up that name, this nail varnish is genuinely called blue my mind :') it's a lovely cobalt colour and, in my picture, there seems to be almost lilac undertones.

it's a h&m nail polish and only costs £2.99. for that, you get a good strong colour, nice shade name and decent packaging, easy application, and quite long lasting nail varnish. definitely a winner in my book!

p.s..i'm annoyed i had to label this "h and m" because "&" isn't allowed in a label.
