Lipstick : Kate moss for Rimmel 001



Please excuse the tummy lines :D

I feel like I haven't blogged in AGES, so much has happened. I've started my new job at Miss Selfridge, it's really hectic and I'm learning so much already. Who knew you had to steam EVERYTHING?? Telling you now you don't appreciate the amount of work that goes into making a shop presentable till you do it yourself. The best thing is that everyone I've met so far is lovely and the worst thing is I am constantly shopping in my mind during my shift then not being able to buy anything because I haven't been paid waahhh!!!

I'm sure everyone on the planet is demolishing the sales apart from me, but this is what you get with no money , a denim pocket and a pair of cut off fishnet tights :D

Radio 1 Hackney Weekend , tie dye maxi skirt and £1 Moschino belt

Did anybody go to the Hackney weekend yesterday??  IT WAS AMAZING!! I can't believe I saw JAY Z AND KANYE FOR FREEE WOOOOOOOOO! Jay was sick, he did my favourite H to the Izzo and loads of other classics!! Kanye though, since he's started banging Kim Kardashian I can't really help but think less of him SMH. Definitely won't be getting over the fact that I was about 20m away from Beyonce for a long time.

I had a great day drinking and dancing my butt off with my lovely boyfriend. We saw Deadmou5, who wasn't as good as when I've seen him before, Emili Sande was beautiful and has such good vocals oh my days! Saw Rita Ora by accident too with DJ fresh, she was pretty good. Rihanna was fricking hot, Fell in love with her cap, can't find who the designer is so if anybody could enlighten me I would be most greatful :)
also bumped into Philips Idowu (World champion triple jumper) who was lovely and wished him all the best for the Olympics awww (getting out of London before they start fo sho). 







Anyway.... I haven't got an outfit picture of yesterday.. but a few people took a picture of it for other blogs (exciting huh) So hopefully it'll show up somewhere else :)
 I did manage to get my boyfriend to take some pictures of me the other day... he kept moaning it was embarrassing, still managed to do a good job though :) Here's what I wore the other day :

Sunny G's : Primark , Bralet : Topshop sale , Skirt : Charity shop , Belt : ASOS , Trainers : Converse

I had to take my braids out D: I miss them so much, but I can't afford to get more at the moment. I really want to do something different with my hair though, it's naturally really curly so I'm thinking maybe bleaching the crap out of it and having a pink fro? 

Me and my friend Suzi went charity shopping in Dalston it was a great day for vintage I got this shirt : £2


A really cool leather bumbag (sorry no picture) , I'm selling my Moschino one HERE  if you want to get your hand on that bad boy :)


My best find was this Moschino belt,  I picked it up and asked the shopkeeper how much it was and I thought he said £12 and I was like YEAH BARGAIN, turned out he was joking and it was £1 BLOODY BRILLIANT!

All in all It's been a great weekend :D Now if only England would beat Italy in the football!! And I'm starting at Miss Selfridge tomorrow wish me luck :) 


P.S How do people always get away with talking in yoga classes in films/television???

Sunday Goth in a camouflage jacket : What I wore today


Hope all you guys have had a lovely weekend,  mine's been WEIRD. We ended up somewhere in the arse end of Camden and tube journey the next morning was HARROWING. You'd think people on the Piccadilly line at 8 in the morning had never seen a girl in fishnets and platform trainers before HA! 
I don't know what it is about Sundays that makes me moody, maybe it's because it's nearly Monday, maybe it's because I'm always hangover. But Sundays are rubbish. So befitting to my sad Sunday mood I went a bit gothic hooker. Here's what I wore:





Lipstick : Revlon Va Va Violet

Negligee worn as a top : Peacocks (old) , Shorts : Levi 501 , Camo jacket : £7  Camden (Fuck you Urban outfitters) , Suspender belt : Anne Summers , Stockings : Tights DIY , Boots : Dr Martens , Sunny G's : Primark , Necklace : Found it somewhere.

Sorry, currently sat here with a bunch of the guys watching I Love You Man for the 50 billionth time so I went a bit overboard with the effects on the photos. I'm going  window shopping around Oxford Circus tomorrow, might see if I can get myself a little something to cheer myself up.


Aaaaaaanyway... I'll just keep it at that because my posts seem to be all like BLAH BLAH BLAH I HAVE NO MONEY BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M POOR! ! ! If you get a chance take a look at the junk I have on ebay HERE

SELLING ON EBAY , Electric Elephant , Motel aztec cycling shorts and my lust list - all of which I can't afford :(


Hey dudes!! I just wanted to thank you and tell you I'm so chuffed at all the great feedback I've been getting from you guys, some of my favourite bloggers follow this blog as well which is amazing ! (such a fangirl haha). I'm so surprised really because this is a hugely amateur operation I'm running over here haha! I've been having an absolute mare lately, last week I found out I won two tickets to Electric Elephant festival in Croatia through ASOS LUCKY ME!!!! Although my prize doesn't include flights or accommodation that happen to be hugely expensive which annoyed me a little. So I've been sorting that out, I have NO MONEY which has been making it very difficult but back to that in a bit...

I'm making a little bit of a habit of outfits worn to go to supermarkets... this is what I wore to Lidl :

Striped Jumper : Primark (old) , Shorts : Vintage DIY 501 Levi's , Cycle Shorts : Motel , Trainers : Converse , Bag : Primark

I bought these aztecy bright cycle shorts from Motel with a 25% off code against my better judgement. As I've said previously I'm never that impressed by the quality of Motel products, but these shorts are pretty cool and make me feel letchy East London men are less likely to shout at me in the street (they worked A++). I feel well 90's layering them under shorts! I think they'd also look great layered under a short t shirt dress or something, I'm determined to get my moneys worth haha!

I've also put a bunch of stuff on ebay, but only the things I can bear to part with. I still have a few things to go on so keep checking back my ebay seller ID is :


Here's a couple of things I am selling at the moment :


To buy click here !!!

Just in case you guys didn't know there's a huge Office sale on now and Urban Outfitters too :) 

I can't help but dream what I would buy if I had some money , here's an idea though :


  1. Bralet Topshop £25 : Love the print, would never fit my boobs though BOO! :(
  2. Perspex front heels New Look £27.99 : LOVE see through shoes atm
  3. Studded Clutch Zara £69.99 : Sex in clutch form
  4. Dip dye dress Topshop £75 : I wish I wore a dress this nice to my prom
  5. De La Soul T shirt Truffle Shuffle £19.99 : This is such a great album, love De La Soul!
  6. Halo Sandals ASOS £50 : Yet another pair of see through shoes woops :)
  7. Gold chain bracelets ASOS £8 : Can't have enough gold chain bracelets!!!
  8. Mickey Mouse Dungarees Rokit £25 : NEED these so hard!!! PLEASE!!
  9. Silver sheer dress Miss Selfridge £45 : Love the ethereal look of these would look great with Dr Martens to toughen it up a bit.
  10. Floral midi dress Miss selfridge £28 : I love a cute midi dress and this is no exception
  11. Nike Air Max 1 Fastlove in red £89.99 : I missed the Nike Liberty print Air max 1 , but these are just as good!!


I'm just about to cook a lovely Tandoori chicken curry so I'll leave it at that. Have a lovely evening!

MWAH

To Morrisons in Disco Pants , Chilli and 20% off at Boohoo

TODAY IT'S SUNNY IN LONDON WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!! 


This is just a quick post in between drinking (when are my posts not between drinking, oh hey typical student) an making the most kick ass Chilli with my boyfriend. You NEED to make epic chilli nachos, you make the chilli con carne, then put a whole packet of Doritos on a baking tray, cover them in cheese, then chilli, put LOADS more cheese on top, bake in the oven then serve with guacamole, sour cream and salsa, AMAZING!


My boyfriend took a few pictures of me messing about on our way back from Morrisons:

 T shirt : Oxfam , Shirt : charity shop , Disco Pants : American apparel , Boots : Dr Martens (laces ebay)

 Ha.

 Cross Bracelet : Dorothy Perkins , Chain bracelet : Peacocks 


I'm not even an Arsenal fan. Sorry City!

This isn't really the best outfit post, but we've all been there, rushing to go somewhere and packed random clothes for the next day, I bought this t shirt about four years ago and I NEVER wear it. I think I turned out all right considering :)

Oh yeah , and I got an email from the lovely people at myunidays announcing a code for 20% off at boohoo.com here's a link to the code  :) I thought I should share the wealth, just because 'm too poor to buy anything at Boohoo doesn't mean you shouldn't

My Boohoo favourites at the moment :-
:) Happy shopping 


Gonna get back to my nachos and Strongbow

Charity shopping i.e spending money I really don't have and Maybelline Dream fresh BB Cream

Hey dudes! I'm sat on my sofa drinking a Stella after a hard days charity shopping in Dalston :) Why I thought it was a good idea with no money ill never know, I seriously think I may have a problem, but the pickings were rich, take a look :

Sorry about the mirror pictures guys, desperate times call for desperate measures.


 Denim shirt w/sleeves cut off my me : £3.00


I couldn't resist studding the collar a little.

 Calvin Klein denim Jacket : £3 - gonna get the dip dye treatment/studs

 Kind of sheer but still okay polo crop top : £2.00

Tie dye midi/maxi skirt : £1.99

Vintage high waist Versace Jeans : £7.00
Here's the versace jeans again, I'm planning on bleaching the shit out of them and dying them multicoloured!
I'm also wearing that Primark bodysuit I bought , I tie dyed it, but it washed out quite a lot might do it again tonight .

High waisted white shorts : I'm gonna cut these slut short tie dye them then put them on ebay WATCH THIS SPACE


Vintage Maxmara poloneck top : £3.00

Nice to have some new clothes, it feels like WEEKS since I did some decent shopping. I think I'm going to wear that polo crop to Radio 1 Hackney Weekend, is anyone else coming on the Saturday? Jay Z HELLS TO THE YEAH!

Also this week I was determined to get a tinted moisturiser/light foundation for summer and after some shopping around (a £10 budget doesn’t go far mind) I decided to buy Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream. My housemate Jackie literally informed me of the amazingness that is BB cream whilst we were in boots and it sounded good, primer/foundation/SPF/tinted mousturiser  sounds like the way to go. 
The Boots website says that it smooths and blurs imperfections whilst offering SPF 30 coverage. Also, as I have combination skin so it’s great that this BB cream is oil free. Today I tried it for the first time and I was AMAZED at the results, shopping all day my nose wasn't shiny at all and it usually ends up like a mirror after a couple of hours without powder! I found it lasted really well and gave me a really natural look. Even better, when I go out I do like to layer on the slap with a trowel (don’t we all) and this can go under my foundation quite nicely I imagine. 

Oh yeah and I ONLY JUST WENT AND GOT THAT JOB AT MISS SELFRIDGE OXFORD CIRCUS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 

AND my lovely boyfriend Rob is coming back from a two week holiday tonight !

Versace+boyfriend+job = best day ever

Fresh Prince 90's print and Wah inspired Nails

Today was a complete fail on the uni front, I got my dissertation appointment time wrong after cycling through torrential rain to get there. Granted, I wasn't dressed appropriately for rain...Aaaanyway, I continued tidying my room, it's taking DAYS! It actually looked like a charity shop had thrown up over it. Hence I'll have about 30 pieces of clothing to put on Ebay this week so watch this space. I love this shirt I found, not bad for a fiver, I just cut out the shoulders and voila I am the Fresh Prince of Bell Air! 
wedge trainers
Shirt dress : Vintage , Wedge Trainers : H&M , Chain necklace : Peacocks , Bracelets : Gina Tricot

I'm sorry, I really thought it would make a difference but no amount of tie dye blue silk will disguise the grotty shittiness of my carpet.

Then because I have far too much time on my hands/want to impress at my interview tomorrow I did my nails, took me about 3 hours mind.

nail art

Sick yeah? I am pretty much a man, it takes serious patience and commitment/boredom to be arsed to do nail art like this. Really pointless, but pretty so worth it maybe? I'm gonna cry when these bad boys chip. REALLY. Hope all this hard work pays off and I get the job tomorrow.

Night X

Fishnets, flatforms, styling and a lovely day out at the Louboutin exhibition

I lied when I said I would be posting more after my exams I've been having too much fun at night time to allow time for posting waahhhh! But this will be a long post which makes up for that no? 

This is what I put on today, repping a cheeky bit of last nights make-up.The most worrying thing is, I wore something very similar to go out last night.
MESS. 

Denim Jacket : Ebay and DIY, Crop top : Topshop sale , Shorts : Wangler DIY , Bumbag : Vintage Moschino , Fishnets : Primark , Flatforms : Ebay , Necklaces : Borrowed from various individuals

I love my studded denim Jacket, some lovely drunk girls were raving over it last night in Dixie Chicken.
For some reason I look like I have a shiny gold tooth in this picture. I don't.


As I write I'm sat in bed with a hangover listening to Lecs Luther, calm and sexy stuff. Have a listen?


I had the pleasure of styling another shoot for my friend Hanna Hillier over at The Sheet on Saturday for Next Models. We had a great time, the model Sara Semic was great and a bit of a legend Hanna got some amazing shots (as always) and I just threw clothes on someone beautiful. Here's a couple of preview shots from the shoot:



I love how she works the double denim in the second picture, so much better than Britney and Justin circa 2001 haha! 

Also this week me and Jackie got all cultural and went to the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the design museum, needless today it was amazing

We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the exhibition but the lovely curator let me dick around by the entrance :)


Me and Jackie both agreed the best part of the exhibition was definitely the Louboutin X David Lynch fetish room. Some of the designs are pretty dark, I love the ones where the heels are too long for the shoe. The photography is amazing, I can imagine the stories behind them so vividly.


Here's a few pairs we wanted to steal from the main exhibition...see the theme occurring here


I just got a call and I have an Interview at Miss Selfridge Oxford Circus on Friday, I'm absolutely shitting myself.. any pointers guys? 

Anyway, here's my wishlist for this week :

  1. Boohoo bag : Reminds me of the Alexander Wang Marion bag which I LOVE!
  2. Tee and Cake London Map T-Shirt 
  3. River-Island Bikini: I LOVE this print, also the girly frills are cute.
  4. Miss Selfridge Shirt: Love the paisley print
  5. River-Island Crop top : I could probably NEVER  pull this off but I love the tackiness of it.
  6. Lavish-Alice shirt
  7. Romwe T shirt

If and when I get a job I am going to purchase ALL OF THESE THINGS.....
