These bruises make for better conversation...

Hey Guys,

I wanted to share an outfit with you that I wore out on Thursday night with my housemates :) 

Us students have been working like crazy this week with deadlines coming up and figured we needed a night out just to forget about uni work for the evening. So as a house we headed out for a meal at The Cowherds in Southampton and seriously nothing makes you forget about uni work more than a chocolate brownie with ice cream mmmmmm :)

It was quite a casual affair so we didn't get too dressed up but at the same time wanted to make the most of being able to leave the confinement of our bedrooms and put on something that wasn't trackies and a hoody!

So I went for the classic skirt and top with a pair of heeled boots :)

I bought this top recently from New Look and I am so glad I did! It is a three quarter length body con top which comes down long enough that I don't need a body con skirt with my flimsy - likely to blow up in the wind - skirts :) Also I love the longer sleeves as it stops me from throwing on a cardigan over the top of EVERYTHING :)

This skirt I bought from ASOS marketplace from KMQvintage and I absolutely love it! It is the perfect length on me and I can't wait till the weather warms up and I can frolic around in it in the sunshine :)

The heeled boots are New Look which I purchased on eBay and have been create for going out for a meal or a couple of drinks where I want to look nice but my usual heels would be too much :)

Happy Mothers Day to all of the amazing mums that we just couldn't live without, I don't know where I'd be without mine. Unfortunately Sunday for me means work so I won't be able to spend the day with her but I've made sure she got a card and some flowers to show my appreciation :)

How will you be spending Mothers Day? Any nice plans with your mums? :)

Hey Guys,

Wanted to share a few more items that I have bought recently during my spending spree in H&M and some basics I purchased recently from New Look :)

Here I am wearing a burgundy cardigan which I bought in the H&M sale for £7 I think it is going to replace my standard black one as I just love this colour!

I am also wearing a basic white T-shirt which I bought in the Tall section in New Look it came in a pack of 3 with a grey one and a black one for £12.99 and they are great for tucking into skater skirts for a casual look for when I'm just going into uni :)

I am also wearing a black skater skirt I got from New Look for £9.99 before student discount! I've wanted one for a while but hadn't found quite the right shape or length for me but this one is perfect! 

The only issue was when taking these photos I may have flashed my photographer Hannah about a million times as every time a gust of wind came the skirt blew up around my ears! Luckily I always wear body con skirts under skirts like this! 

I am also wearing my New Look boots which I actually purchased brand new on eBay for £10!

Its hard to tell from this windy photo but here I am wearing this cute headband I found in H&M for £1! It is a plain black band with feathers attached to a chain so that they fall with your hair :)

I now have so many basic items its unreal, but I always think you can never have too many as they go with literally everything :)

Do you have a lot of basic items in your wardrobe?

Sitting, waiting, wishing...

Hey guys,

So i'm halfway through my first week back at uni for this semester and so far have been to 1 lecture and 1 seminar as the others have all been cancelled! So overall a good start to the year!...

I have however got an outfit post for you :) You will notice it is very un-snowy due to the fact that all the snow is gone :( We haven't had any more since Friday so all of the beautiful white stuff we had has sadly melted away in the rain :(

Here I am wearing my new leather look pleated skirt that I picked up in Primark for just £5!!! I have been eyeing it up for a while at full price which was still only £12 but I wasn't sure how often I would wear it but for £5 I don't care if the only time I wear it is for this photo, it was worth it!!

 But I do love it and reckon I will get a lot of wear out of it :) I have teamed it with a New Look blouse that I got last year that I love as it fits me really well and unlike most blouses it is long enough on my arms as quite often I find that long sleeved blouses stop halfway up my arm so it just looks like it has shrunk in the wash!! 

I am also wearing my new, New Look heels although you cant see them very well in this photo but they were also a bargain at £5 in the sale! I couldnt believe it! I didnt really need another pair of black heels but at £5 its kinda rude not to right?

I've got to say I am really into the whole blouses tucked into skirts look right now, I find it quite flattering on my figure as it hides my hips and shows off my waist a bit :)

I'm pretty much sorted for clothes at the moment but top of my wishlist for accessories is a bowler hat! I've seen so many bloggers wearing them and think they just look amazing and finish off any outfit but not really sure if I can pull one off..

I really like this one in Topshop but it is £25, a little out of my price range for something I'm not even sure if I can pull off!

If anyone has found any cheaper versions elsewhere please let me know :)

Jo
