Walk in the park


shorts- topshop . jumper- amercian apparel . jacket- allsaints . shoes topshop


 Here are a few snaps from a photo shoot i did the other day. We took them down at the Uni in old Aberdeen (possibly one of the cutest parts of the city) its full of cobbled streets and there's a pretty church there too where my cousin actually got married.

It was such a sunny day and since Uni is still off for the summer it was a really peaceful location, despite one chav shouting "your fit" and lowering the tone slightly! SO embarrassing...

The photos were taken by Craig at Flixiety you can check out more of his stuff here :)

YAY YAY happy Friday eve people.

Hope you've all had a good week.

Boots!


shorts- h&m . bag-topshop . boots-topshop . t-shirt - stolen from my boyfriend
This is what i wore on a mission to find my mum a new blazer today. My feet must be so pleased with my practical choice in footwear, they're so flipping comfy and cut my journey time by about fifteen minutes!

I love that Im still getting the wear out of these little crochet shorts despite the fact that we're basically into Autumn, definitely a winner on the shorts front!

You might have noticed that my hair's been getting lighter and lighter. Ive been trying to restore my hair back to its natural colour for a while now and i'm almost there. Heres a picture of me when i was younger, ive always wanted my hair back to this:

 That's not my dog by the way, i stole him!

OH. and this song's been stuck in my head all day:

Biker Boots

Buckle back ankle boot and Romie boot - Both Jeffrey Campbell
Hatchell Harness boot and Haven distressed boot- both Free Bird by Steven

Such a dashing selection of boots! I love them all but if i had to pick i think the JC buckle backs and the Haven distressed are my favourites.

The Jeffrey Campbell Romie boots are kind of reminiscent of the Balenciaga cut out boots which are amaaazing! and I love the Wang-esque flicks on the back of these Free bird cowboy come biker renditions. wow wow wow. (perv in more detail HERE)

If i was taller I'd be rocking the flats far more often but seeing as I'm only 5"2 (and mildly vertically challenged) i like to stick to at least some kind of heel... but I'd definitely sacrifice any height issues for these pretty little boots.

Golden

jacket- vintage
skirt- h&m
jumper- Topshop
necklace-Topshop
spikey ring- Topshop
Hi Everyone, Happy August! I really cant believe we're in the 8th month of the year already ahhhHHHH. Its almost Christmas :)

Ive been wearing mostly silver jewels recently but have rekindled my love for gold with the arrival of my new SPIKEY ring. I'm very partial to a spike or two.

oh here it is!



I also got my hair done recently so im sporting a much lighter golden doo,  Its helping me feel a little bit more summery and beachy while im stuck in the greyest city of them ALL. Two of my friends jetted off to NewYork today for a little 2month American Roadtrip stint, so jealous!!!!

Anyways its not all  bad because its the first of the Month and that means... NEW MAGAZINE DAY. This will definitely get me through the week.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Africaan


Hi Friends. This is what i was wearing yesterday, well it was actually a bit of a two in one outfit. At work i was wearing the skirt with a nice little t-shirt but as soon as i left i chucked on this marl grey jumper to scruff it up a little bit!

Just a little bit more draping on my skirt to get me through the week, believe it or not its actually from h&m a while ago in London but people mistake it for Whistles all the time which is never a bad thing! (Big Whistles fan).

I'm having a party on my lips with Rimmel Colour Show Off in no.030, it's a nice matt one and stays on pretty well. ALTHOUGH theres a realllly nice shade ive been perving on in Topshop make-up (which is made by the same people who made Mac didnt you know!) Very good make-upage.

Happy Friday!

Deena & Ozzy








I cant decide which pair of these Deena & Ozzy shoes i like best... In a perfect world they would all be on my shoe shelf right NOW,but I'm a poor student with literally about £3 to my name until pay day tomorrow so sadly this is not the case.

You can get them at Urban Outfitters along with a bunch of other pretty shoes! I just really like shoes..a lot...maybe too much... sometimes when i walk i just cant help looking at them-



SHOES.

Happy Thursday

Drapes

Skirt- FullCircle
Jacket- Zara
Shoes- Aldo
I think its going to be a while before i get sick of draping - if EVER. It just makes everything look so much more interesting.

The back of this skirt is actually quite long and usually comes way down below my calves, so i've pinned two sections at the back up to make it a little more practical for work! Its amazing how you can transform any extra fabric with a few pins.

Ive also taken to Purple-ing up my lips quite a lot lately and have kind of been replacing eye make up with lip wear instead. I really want to try out those Lip tattoo's that have been going around lately but I'm scared i'd end up with it all smudging or half of it falling off or something.

 has anyone tried them yet and how well do they stay on?!
