OOTD; Inappropriately dressed for April...

Top; Unknown, Skirt; New Look, Shoes; Topshop, Polish; Zoya & Topshop Ice Crush

As usual, I can't resist wearing a new purchase no matter what the weather is, and after purchasing this gorgeous skirt from new look I just had to wear it, even if the rain has been pouring ALL DAY in Manchester. I am in love with wearing leather jackets and blazers this spring, even if it's led to more than a few days of looking like a drowned rat on the train home (maybe it's time to invest in a decent umbrella? is there a such thing?)

Hope you've all been having a gorgeous April!

OOTD; New Years Eve

Peter Pan Collar Top; LOVE at Topshop, Skirt; Rare at Topshop, Bag; H&M, Shoes; New Look, Nail Polish; Petrol In The Water by Andrea Fulerton.

I've laughed, moaned and drunk through probably the most bizarre year of my life, and I plan to spend tonight the exact same way (can't resist a moan even on new years). It's not been the best year, I learnt a lot and lost a lot but here's hoping that next year will be a massive improvement!

My cheeky new years resolution is definitely to get the blog back on track, I know I'm the shittest when it comes to making regular posts, I promise I'll try to be more consistent next year I just haven't had bloody time!

Hope you all have a beautiful New Years Eve! I shall be back to my blogging best in 2012 should I survive tonight in these shoes, bearing in mind the last time they had an outing I nearly snapped my ankle in half and had to cling onto the best friend all night - and this was sober....

OOTD #018; Leather Legging LOVE!

Jumper; Topshop, Leggings; Topshop Wedges; New Look, Necklace; Primark

I've been updating my winter wardrobe slowly, I had to get a pair of leather leggings! They are so versatile, my favourite way of wearing them are with a massive chunky knit, but I quite like the look with this cropped jumper I have. I've also added some gorgeous chelsea boots and leopard leggings to my collection, I'm still on the lookout for a beautiful cape and the perfect chunky cardi.

What are your must haves for winter?!

OOTD #016; This Ain't No Home, It's Hardly A House....

sheer shirt; LOVE at topshop shorts; matalan top; new look bag; H&M ring; matalan

Quick OOTD for you all! I'm trying to get the last use out of my summer clothes and adding some tights to take the end of Autumn chill off! I've had a beautiful weekend of shopping and catching up with my high school friends (shamefully impulse buying a "sheriff" badge.... good for a fancy dress party?!) and generally chilling out and planning out my Autumn/Winter wardrobe with the help of Elle Magazine! I had my interview for a job at H&M on friday afternoon at at 5pm friday night they called me back and I GOT THE JOB! Which means I'm now officially employed and my life is back on track :) Apparently H&M have really intense training and I'm doing mine at the H&M in Market Street, if you guys have shopped in Manchester you'll know how busy it can get, so that should be fun?! 

Anyway, tonight I'm looking forward to Dragons Den and ofcourse the #bbloggers chat on twitter at 8. Both clash with each other, so as usual I'll be turning my head madly between the TV and my laptop!

Anyway, hope all you beauts had gorgeous weekends!

OOTD #014; Come On Skinny Love, Just Last The Year....

cardi; Miss Selfridge, dress; h&m, rings; Matalan, Topshop, H&M, bag; Primark, wedges; Newlook, lipstick; Sleek Heartbreaker.

Hello lovelys! It's been so HOT in Manc today, for the majority of the day I've literally been out in the garden in my bikini reading a load of magazines, but I'm going out later for a little bit, so I thought I'd just quickly post my outfit now I'm changed. I think some of the nicest outfits are the simplest, and this is perfect for evening when it starts to go a little bit cool in england - knowing my luck now it'll be humid o'clock! Still loving these wedges from New Look... you can't really go wrong with New Look for shoes can you?! I'm obsessed with Sleek Lipsticks in a major way, I'm flicking between my collection on a day to day basis from my nude bare all to todays heartbreaker. I'm definitely going to pick up some pout paints next time I'm at a superdrug which stocks them, I've read about 248104830213 blog posts on them today and I NEED them in my life! Oh, and I'm hoping to do a leopard print nail tutorial soon, so watch out for that!

Hope you all have lovely evenings!

OOTD #013; If The City Never Sleeps, Then That Makes Two...

parka; topshop top; primark skirt; topshop shoes; new look ring; matalan

I've been meaning to do an inspired OOTD for ages! I love this parka for summer, it has a second inside layer with gorgeous fur for the winter but i love it in the summer for rainy days! 

I'm currently job hunting and so I've been doing my job homework and researching various A/W 11 trends to impress various employers with, seeing as I'm looking for a job in a fashion store it's probably the easiest way to impress other than what I choose to wear. I took inspiration from Altuzarra's fall collection, which was inspired by an image of Kate Moss in an evening dress with a parka over the top with then boyfriend Johnny Depp. I've always loved the dress under fur coat look, but this is a new one for me, and I love how it makes an outfit casual with so much ease - and so practical for cold england nights!

Here's the Altuzarra Fall '11 Collection;

Now all I need is some gorgeous boots!

OOTD #010; I Turned My Back, You Were Gone In A Flash..

vest top; topshop shorts; matalan rings; h&m and primark shoes; new look.

I keep trying to do OOTDs but it's always raining these days so have an inside one. I love these shorts that look like a skirt skorts. I've been watching Wimbledon a LOT (not really sure why) and tidying up. The past few days have involved being driven around with one of my friends who's just passed her driving test, becoming obsessed with starting to drive and having a stressful experience in the photobooth getting my provisional photo, and searching for jobs (fun fun fun!). Anyway back to the tidying up, check this crazy organisation out!

Yeah, I really am so bored I've sorted out my dressing table thing out, put my Barry M nail polish into colour order and finally put all my most used rings onto my cat ring thing ;)

Question; Where do you guys store your earrings?!

This is my current method of storage, yep that's right. a clay "bowl" I made when I was about eight years old. It does the job but it doesn't exactly look pretty haha!

I'm going to meet my lovely friend Hannah in town tomorrow, so I'll be testing my self restraint and heading into Boots and Superdrug to buy these bits and bobs, and stick to my spending ban!

Models Own "Disco Ball" Nail Polish

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain and Balm in Flame

Max Factor Lasting Lip Tint in Nice 'n' Nude

Natural Collection Tinted Moisturiser in Fair

MUA Pro Palette in Starry Night

So you might be seeing a good old haul tomorrow if I'm successful!

Btw, slightly random one but, does anybody else put a plaster over their finger when their nail breaks and looks really short and ugly?! Please say I'm not the only one!

(apologies for the shit webcam quality!)

Hope you all had a good day lovelys!

Little Haul; Topshop, New Look, Superdrug

Topshop Navaho Print Vest - £16

Topshop Thick Knit Navy Stripe Cardi - £43

New Look Paper Bag Linen Shorts - £19.99

Superdrug Urban Decay Nail Enamels in CULT and EASY RIDER - £1 each

Once again it's raining so I quickly popped to the shops to buy a few things. I ADORE the entire topshop summer range and I've got my eye on another 5/6 things I'll be heading back for when I have more money (Why is everything so damn expensive in there). I seem to have splurged a lot on cardis recently, I've bought 3 the past month all costing me around £40, so this will definitely be my last for this season, I always justify topshop with the fact I get student discount, which makes their prices slightly more affordable! I also fell in love with these paperbag shorts from newlook and at £19.99 I couldn't resist. And these discontinued Urban Decay Nail Enamels for £1 were an absolute bargain! I also picked up the new superdrug card while I was in store, which I'm really excited about! The card actually has a mirror on it which is so handy for in your purse, though the points are only 1 for every pound compared to the 4 points from a boots card, though it's better than nothing! Exams soon so I'm back to revising for the remainder of the weekend, hope you guys had a good one! xoxoxoxoxo 

OOTD #002; meddle if you want trouble

checked shirt - primark

fringed boob tube - new look

bodycon skirt - h&m

tights - primark

wedges - newlook

rings - h&m

Fancied a chilled out outfit for todays shopping, and a checked shirt was perfect for putting over this outfit to keep warm in the wind :) I've injected a lot of colour into my outfits recently and I've been enjoying these bright contrasting rings from h&m! hope you've all had lovely weekends xoxoxoxoxo
