GET F*CKED STUD


Aren't these just the most amazing high waisted shorts ever!? I bought the American flag high waisted shorts from Topshop (you know the ones!) and although I love them, I also wanted a pair that everyone hadn't got! >.< I'd been searching for a pair on Ebay for quite a while and was so EXCITED when I found these...IN MY SIZE! They are vintage Levi's that have obviously been cut, dyed and customized! :)

Teamed with...

 Yeah, I went a bit stud crazy! >.< (Hence the title of this post - it's the name of a Biffy Clyro song if you didn't already know!) The bag I've had for ages which is from Matalan and the shoes are actually my Mum's! :P Haha, she bought them from Debenhams :)

Romwe

Hello! :) So it's been one of those days where I've endlessly clicked through the pages of Topshop, River Island, Miss Selfridge, etc. pining over EVERYTHING! (When ISN'T it one of those days, right!?) ...and THEN I came across Romwe! (Sorry if I'm a bit behind the times and this website is old news to a lot of you?!) After basically adding the whole shop to my cart... (!) I finally whittled it down to these 3 items! :)


These are the original prices but when you sign up they give you a 20% off voucher code! Free shipping too; can it get any better?! Haha, well I'll let you know what they're like when they turn up...! :P

Where do you like to shop? :)

Your heart is like a HAND ME DOWN; something to pass around and around...


My mum's friend gave me this dress a while back as it no longer fitted her, and I'd completely forgotten about it until today! >.< It's an old Topshop one but I was just wondering if anyone knew how old? The aztec print and the cut-out back make for a perfect going out dress this season anyways! :D

FLOWER POWER

The playsuit I ordered from the Miss Selfridge website arrived on Wednesday, what do you think...?


I couldn't resist this with it's wide sleeves (really on trend with the whole 70's vibe that's going on this summer) and gorgeous floral pattern! Usually I wear a size 8 in trousers, shorts, etc. and a size 10 on top therefore with this playsuit being buttoned up the chest, I thought it was best to order a size 10...and to be honest, I would have been better off with an 8! Typical! You can't tell in these photos but it slightly gapes above my waist.

I want to wear this on a night out but I still need to find the perfect shoes and accessories to go with it! Any suggestions would be muchly appreciated! :)

"Mellow yellow"


EEEE I DO LOVE MY BUG! <3  

It even has yellow (ish) seats....!

 
Marshmallow scented air freshener: £1, Accessorize ^.^
                                                 
The only problem with having this as a first car is that everyone recognizes me...making mistakes! Haha. I just couldn't get a normal car though, quirky all the way!? ;P I spent the last 2 days driving around so now I'm feeling like I do actually belong on the road - it's amazing how much you don't get taught in your lessons! I still had my 16 year old brother in the passenger seat shouting out directions to me though...and he mayyyy have taken the wheel to bay park, lmao! :P (Although note how I drove to the end of the car park where there were no cars to hit...! The first time I drove into this space, the line was in the middle of my car, haha.)

Happiness is a mood, not a destination...

Julian: People get lost when they think of happiness as a destination.

Brooke: How do you mean?

Julian: We're always thinking that someday we'll be happy, you know, we'll get that car, or that job, or that person in our lives that will "fix" everything. But happiness is a mood, and it's a condition, not a destination. It's like being tired, or hungry... it's not permanent. It comes and goes, and that's okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness a lot more often.

One Tree Hill sure is inspirational!? If you don't watch it, you're missing out! This conversation between Julian (PHWOAR, I'd watch it just to drool over him!?) and Brooke really hit me hard, it portrayed exactly how I'm living my life at the moment. I thought that if I put all of my effort into passing my driving test and getting a car then it would result in me being happy - but now that I've achieved that goal, my mindset has changed to 'well I'll definitely be happy once I've saved enough money to move away and start a fresh' ...does it really work like this? I've just got to start living rather than waiting for something! >.< Some people eh, just never content! :P

Anyways, I went out for a meal for my friend's 21st last night (note to self: never order pasta at an Italian restaurant, YOU MAKE A MESS!) and here is what I wore... 


Leaf patterned top: £3, Primark! BARGAIN! Especially as I've had so much usage out of it! It's so comfortable and easy to wear!
Long vest top: H&M
Necklace: Old...
Leggings: Select
Has anyone found that Select leggings fade after literally 2 washes? H&M leggings are pretty see-through? And New Look leggings obtain holes? Where do the best value leggings?!

Bracelets: £3 each, Indian accessory shop

I wanted to dress up...but not look too dressed up!? Really difficult when you don't know what anyone else will be wearing! So to glam up the outfit I added a pair of black wedges and red lipstick!










Mmmm...still got Julian on the brain! :P
