Bralets and Tassells

Top- ASOS. Skirt- AllSaints. Bag- Zara. Shoes- Topshop. Cuff- ASOS



Dress- Topshop. Belt - Vintage

Hi Everyone , I thought i'd do two outfits in one post today because i have SO many things i need to show you guys.

Im absolutely loving the bralet top in the first outfit, I went one size up because my usual size was sold out but it fits really well and is probably more comfy than the smaller size would have been anyways!

 Im also loving the flapper girl vibe of the dress in the second outfit with a modern ombre twist :) Although 1920's style is all about the dropped waist I've added this waist belt to try and tame those tassells a bit more. Thanks to a remake of the Great Gatsby, i think we'll be seeing a lot more of the 1920's this season.

Thank you to everyone who has entered my giveaway with Boticca! anyone who hasnt entered yet, don't worry its open until Wednesday!

Here is a little song to shoulder shimmy to:

Shorts- Zara. Jumper- H&M. Shirt- River Island. Jacket- All Saints. Collar clips- alexinn.se

Hi guys,

Hope you all had a good weekend! I just wanted to show you these little shorts i got from Zara the other week and also these collar clips I've been wearing quite a lot recently. I got them from Alexinn.se along with some other really cute pieces of jewelry. The website is written in Swedish so i had to do a bit of guess work but you should definitely check it out, they've got some really nice stuff! Here are the clips close up: 

So i have also decided to go ahead with a couple of giveaways :) details coming this week! Exciting stuff.

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 :)
