Tetris


Jacket- Topshop (old). Playsuit- ASOS. Bag- Zara. Necklace- Miss Selfridge. Shoes- Topshop
Hey Guys,

I thought i'd show you guys this playsuit i bought from ASOS last week, i love the print of it, it kind of reminds me of a game of Tetris!

I found this dark denim jacket that i bought from Topshop aaages ago and thought i could put it to good use! I think i'l be getting a lot of wear out of it this summer :)

I also wanted to ask you guys what you thought of doing my first giveaway competition? Ive always steered clear of them in the past because some of the time i feel like its a little like bribary?! However, if it was something you guys would be interested in i could give it a go! Of course i will only pick items that i think you guys would like, ive had a few good offers :) . Let me know your thoughts!

Aqua

Dress- Aqua Couture. Shoes- Zara. Bag- Zara. Necklace- Gift
As promised, here is the dress i wore last Thursday for the Burns night.I love the structure of this dress, its amazing and fits to well! The fringing is also detachable which is a major plus meaning it also doubles up as the perfect little black dress :)

Aqua is definitely one of my go to brands for evening wear, you'll always get something different that fits well. It also comes in a shorter length which is really cute too but of course i had to go for the more dramatic and impractical look :)

Im loving being back to uni just now, i probably wont be saying that in a couple of weeks though- its about to get stressful!  A lot of you have been asking about my course, Im in my fourth year of studying Fashion Management at RGU and have really enjoyed it. For more information on the course or entry requirements click here.

Airtex



Top-ASOS. Skirt- H&M. Bag- Zara. Shoes- Topshop
Hi guys,

Here is another little top i got from ASOS the other day. Its a really lightweight airtex material- a fabric that i fell in love with again after seeing Alexander Wang's SS 12 collection. I love the neon piping too, just enough colour without being too over powering and it doubles up as a nicely top for the gym- EFFICIENT. You can find it here!

The Burns night went really well on Thursday and the dress fitted perfectly! Pictures coming soon :) Hope you are all having a nice weekend, im back to Uni on Monday so seriously need to get some reading done! Its just over two months until i have to hand my dissertation in eeeeeeek. I may possibly need your help with a few little questionnaires but i'll tell you more about that later!

Thanks again for all of your comments recently, i really appreciate it.

Ooooh Floral

Trousers- ASOS. Top- Zara. Silver cuff- KG .Shoes- Topshop. Bag- Zara
I love these ASOS trousers so much, Ive barely taken them off since i've got them . Possibly a tiiiiny bit summery for the antarctic conditions we're currently experiencing in Scotland but thats ok! AND even better they come in petite, curve and maternity sizes too! Mine are size 4 petite but im the size of a borrower so they fit ok. Find them HERE   :)

I got this top a while back and its had a fair few outings but i think this is the first time i've blogged it! It came in black as well which i was highly tempted by but i'm being such a poor student right now. I need to win the lottery or something (It would probably help if i actually played it though....)

Oh I finally found a dress for this burns night on Thursday by the way! It arrived today but i havent tried it on yet... fingers crossed it fits right!

Thank you all for your lovely comments and e-mails of support recently :) i've been to the doctors today about the crash and luckily i've escaped with some whiplash and thats all.

Here you go have some Beyonce :)

Top- ASOS . Trousers- All Saints. Bag- Zara. Shoes- Topshop
Hi guys, happy Sunday! Hope you've had a good one.

Here's what i'm wearing today, although its been a pretty unproductive ! We went out to celebrate my birthday last night and judging by my hangover we had FAR too much fun.

Anyways, i saw this top on ASOS and was drawn to it straight away. It kind of reminds me of an American football top, its got a cool sports luxe vibe to it. You can find it here  :)

I had a huuuge ASOS trawl the other day as i have a Burns night on Thursday and need to find a dress for it! I ended up buying lots of nice things, unfortunately none of these things were a pretty Burn's night dress so i am still on the hunt!

Hope you've all had a good weekend :) i'm definitely having a duvet and Haribo afternoon.

Chiffon Yellow

Shorts- c/o China Doll Boutique. Top- DIY . Belt-Vintage . Shoes- Zara. Bag- Zara
Hi Everyone,

I know its still only January and i'm looking awfully summery, but I'm loving yellow just now. I think we're going to be seeing a lot of it for Spring/Summer 12 so got my hands on these shorts from China Doll Boutique a little early in preparation :) you can find them here!


Believe it or not but these photos were taken only a couple of hours before crashing my car into a 21 tonne truck that was coming round the corner on the wrong side of a country road. Words cant describe how lucky i feel to be sitting here writing this just now. The cars destroyed but luckily i escaped with a bit of a bash to the head, some whiplash and a massiiiive scare. Things like that really put things into perspective for you and makes you appreciate life so much more.

Anyways, i guess what im trying to say is don't take anything for granted. You never know what could happen next.

New Tattoos


Skirt- H&M. Top- American Apparel. Belt- Vintage . Bag- Zara. Shoes - Zara

Hi Guys, I hope you've all had a good weekend!

I thought i'd show you all my two new tattoos that i got the other day, they're both written in Arabic and are phrases that mean something to me. Its my birthday on Tuesday and getting inked has kind of turned into a birthday tradition- its the only time i really seem to get round to it. The one my spine was rather painful but so worth it, i love both of them :)

Another reason for posting was this amazing skirt that i got from H&M. Ive been looking for a pleated leather skirt for a little while but none of them seemed to fit nicely but this one fits like a glove!

I got my last piece of Uni coursework handed in on Friday and i'm so so SO happy to have a little bit of time off before i get back on the dissertation. Plenty of blogging time :)

Ive also been thinking its about time i get a nice banner or something for my page because it looks awfully bare just now! Any suggestions?!
