Monochrome.

Last week I had a party with my friends because we were off school which gave me the perfect opportunity to wear my white jeans! 

Me and my best friend had been shopping on Wednesday looking for something to wear for the party but none of shops in Nottingham had anything I liked and if they did they didn't have my size! Useless! We ended up going to derby as well seeing as Nottingham was rubbish, they didn't have anything either! 

When we were in Nottingham we went to MAC and had false eyelashes put on, I really loved them but the staff in MAC were horrible, to be honest most of the sales assistant that day were! What ever happened to manners? 

All I ended up with was some fabric I needed from Hyson Green Market, eyelashes, a make up sponge and some much needed new black converse! 

So for the party I wore my white jeans from ASOS, my halter crop from Missguided, and my chunky heels from Primark. I felt really comfortable! 




I did my makeup quite dramatic, the eyelashes pushed me seeing as they made my eyes look bigger, so I used my urban decay 'NAKED 2' pallete, with some Illamasqua pigment for my eyes with my YSL liner, my new foundation 'heathy mix gel serum' by Bourjois, Illamasqua eyebrow cake in 'Thunder' for dark angled brows. To add a slight contour I used my MAC illuminating powder in 'Perfect Topping' and Bare Minerals bronzer. To finish the look I added MAC's 'Creme Cup' lipstick for pale pink lips.

Cheeky Nottingham Trip.

So yesterday college told us that today was going to be a training day, so as fashion students we all decided day off means shopping day! 

We went on the train this morning at 10 and got home at 5 so it's been a long shopping day and my feet are killing, especially as I've worn my Swedish Hasbeens! And it's been so warm today! I didn't have to wear tights or a jacket!

To be honest there wasn't really much that I liked in most of the shops, which was a bit disappointing. But I'm really happy with the things I did get which makes me happy. 

I bought a cute little stripy crop top from Zara which will be great for a casual summer outfit. The skirt I've had my eye on for a couple of weeks and today I couldn't resist buying it! I love it so much, it's so folky and boho, the top gives it a Spanish feel to the outfit, which is a summer look that I really love. Off the shoulder tops are great for summer!





Love this pattern!

Nottingham Haul.

So I got some pretty fab things today, some could say I went a little over board with the gingham, but those people would be wrong.


These shorts are from the vintage shop WILD in Nottingham, they are so cute on! They caught my eye because of the adorable little pink stripes in the pattern! I've seen quite a few shops doing this style shorts for this season and I love being able to get on trend stuff at a much lower price! 
The sunglasses are also from WILD, I spotted them while paying and just had to have them! The pink on them looks great with my hair.




I've been looking for a skort for agessss, but never found one I liked enough to buy! I got this one from Ark for the tiny price of £12.99! I loved the pattern and the fit is pretty good although the sizing on the labels was awful!


Praise the Lord- Hallelujah! Finally a pair of proper high waisted shorts! These little beauties are from Topshop £30.Most shorts which say they are 'high waisted' are normally to your natural waist which is above your hip bones as we were told by one of our tutors yesterday. These sit on my waist which is the fit i want! They are a little roomy on the back of the waist but I expect that as to fit my hips and bum. 


I always walk past 'Beautiful U Hair & Beauty' when I go to Nottingham and see the 2 pots of Directions for £5 and now my hair is finally pink again I went and used this great offer! I wanted to get some Manic Panic too but its so expensive to buy in shops so I'm going to have a look online instead. These two colours are on the left 'Cerise' and on the right 'Flamingo Pink'.


And finally my new beauty...


 For Christmas my friend Hannah got me a £20 Vivienne Westwood voucher as I love all things Viv, and today I finally spent it! I bought this gorgeous little bracelet. I've been looking at getting a Viv bracelet for a while and only wanted a simple one, although today I was drawn in by her Harp range but went for a more classic one instead.

Pinkness Of The Day.

Me and Will went to Nottingham shopping today, basically a chance for me to drag Will round all the shops I like while he holds all my stuff. I really loved today's outfit so I'm sharing a few photos with you lovely people. I took these photos after shopping as I didn't have time this morning so I look a little more messy than at the beginning of the day! I wanted these photos to be a little bit more 'fun' as I don't take what I wear too seriously so I don't think you should take me too seriously either!
 I wore this outfit with my pink ASOS Molly shoes and my Dorothy Perkins Leather Biker Jacket. 


This is a full circle skirt that I'm wearing, it was my mamma's friends underskirt for her wedding which she tried to dye red but it went pink. It's too long for me so I pull it up as if it was a dress and put a black vintage style belt on to give it a waist.

I finished this look with my cropped Topshop jumper, Irregular Choice bag & Vivienne Westwood Jewellery.

I will be doing a 'haul post' on what I bought today to follow this one...
