Daisy Chained

This daisy chain hair band was another one of my roadtrip purchases, i love it's earthy hippie chic vibe- perfect for festival season. I'm really embracing the hippie look this season, i always said that if i was around in the 70's i would have definitely been a fully fledged hippie.

A lady at work the other day actually said i was one step away from getting a peace sign tattooed on my ass. which i thought was a very good idea to be honest!

This little vest is just from Topshop and is slightly cropped but not too much, just the right length for jeans or shorts but without showing off any mid rift. The khaki shorts are from AllSaints and the belt is Vintage.

Happy Friday ;)

Technology

I am a major technology victim and have no clue about some of the gadgets on the go just now. Up until not long ago i was rocking a Nokia 3210 after my blackberry tragically failed me! I had that beast of a phone for the best part of a month and it didn't really phase me- apart from the lack of BBM- i could text and make phonecalls and that was all i was really after. Job done.

I was picking out a new laptop the other day too (I was trusted to do this on my own) and the sales assistant did a wonderful job of describing all the different functions and capabilities of some of the models available. All of this went straight over my head, and i went for "that one. because its red".

However i think i am slowly changing my ways! My friend managed to capture this amazing photo of me in a field using an App on his I Phone 4 and i was totally amazed.

 I couldn't believe such a stunning photo came out of that tiny little thing whose main function was actually a phone... its crazy!

So now, instead of a pair of walkie talkies being at the top of my gadget list (great for festival season) its being demoted to second place in favour of the iphone 4. All they've got to do now is bring out a red one with a walkie talkie app and i'm sold!

Happy Friday!

Peacock Feather

Hiya. Happy Friday Eve everyone, I cant believe its almost the weekend again!

This what i wore to my place of Uni today. :) Im in love with these leather-eqsue jeans i got from AllSaints, I fell in love with them as soon as i saw them they re totally worth the investment and definitely a wardrobe staple!  I may have received some slight purchasing benefits from my friend Emily who is a manager at the Aberdeen store but even without that they are pretty reasonably priced.

I worked in AllSaints for two years and was obsessed with their clothes, they're so unique and completely stand out against all the other high street stuff. I REALLY miss my employee privileges- previews of all the stuff as it comes in, uniform, discount, being surrounded by amazing clothes all the time.... i miss the days!

I have Incorporated a few gifted items into this outfit too, the belt was from my friend Sarah and the bag was from my friend Emily both for my most recent birthday. This cardigan was also a gift from my younger sister Hannah and its a little vintage find with cute little nautical buttons.

I'm a little obsessed with all things feathery just now and thought the vibrant blues and greens in this peacock earring complimented the outfit really well. I had a little photo shoot yesterday with the amazing Sam Brill and Jeremy, I think i managed to incorporate three different feathered accessories into one of the looks :) pretty impressive.

Lots of Love

Semi Precious Stones

It’s no secret that I’m addicted to jewellery and probably even more so now with all these semi-precious jewels on the go just now. I love this image of this girl fully embracing the Pocohauntus look! Very jealous of her jewellery.

I've been after a Titanium Quartz ring for a while now but had always managed to avoid temptations but as soon as my student loan came in at the start of the month i knew what it was going on! Titanium aura quartz is formed when titanium is permanently bonded with quartz crystals and there is a stunning end result. This is the bad boy i recently purchased:

Pretty amazing really! If we’d studied this in Chemistry at school instead of heating carbon dioxide in a test tube over a Bunsen burner to see if it smelled I would have been well and truly IN. Maybe I’ll write them a letter; i do also recall the acetone being quite handy for removing chipped nail varnish.

I’ve also got quite a thing for turquoise/teal coloured jewels just now, they’re really refreshing and colourful and since i wear quite a bit of black they’re great for spicing things up. I bought this first ring a couple of months back and was pretty devastated when I thought I’d lost it, I ended up buying a new one after putting it off for so long and the old one turned up the next day! So I now have two J

Just to balance off my teal semi precious collection I’ve also invested in these two necklaces and earrings, I’m in love with anything tribal and feathery just now. I knew Pocohauntus was going to be an inspirational female figure some day!

 I had a really nice weekend and i think my boyfriend liked the surprise castle visit it was such a beautiful  place although kinda creepy and eerie. I’m heading down to Cambridge with them family tomorrow for my Granny’s funeral, it will be nice to see everyone but a devastatingly sad day at the same time. Hello hardcore mag session on the 8 hour train journey.  

Lots of Love
