Crop That Knit






Jumper : Urban Outfitters Sparkle and Fade 
Jeans : Brick Lane Market £5
Boots : Dr Martens 10 hole
Belt : Primark
Necklace : Peacocks

Just a quickie because it's nearly midnight and not gonna lie I probably  should have my essay done by now, procrastinating at it's finest! I was inspired by the Cheap Monday cropped jumper in last nights post and decided I'd make my own version by tucking my jumper in to my bra all day, which worked pretty well wouldn't you agree? I took a leaf out of Remi's (Check out her blog here her style is amazing!) book and decided to take a craft knife to these jeans, LOVE the result! I had quite a nice day apart from working this afternoon (who likes work bleeuurghhh), got a new DIY project to show you and it is EASY AS PISS! Great one if you're a skint lady like me :)

Gonna get up close and personal with my essay now -_-

Hey guys! I'm so poor it's not even funny...my spending budget is £25 a week till January so lots of recycling clothes for me. Should probably get over my shopping addiction anyway... I wore this outfit today to uni, it was pretty sunny so I whipped out the dungarees I got from the East End Thrift store student sale (i''l be doing a post on it later in the week). I'm sure you already know but I was Educate Elevate's Flygirl of the week last week, they sent me a bag of goodies including this beanie (which ahsn't left my head for DAYYYS! I absolutely LOVE everything on their site, I'm addicted to anything 90's at the moment so if you are you should go check it out HERE.

May as well be a double whammy outfit post...

 Tee : C/o Educate Elevate

I wore this yesterday just going into uni and bumming around. I am in LOVE with this glittery skirt I got from Primark a couple of weeks ago, I saw a very similar one in Topshop (gold glittery) for about £20 as well! I frigging love my Big L quote t shirt too :) (if you don't know who Big L is just search him on Youtube AMAZING!!) he's dead though :( .

Blogging is taking a back seat at the moment I'm afraid, it's so hard being in my third year, I have so much work and all I really want to do is write and read blogs waaaaaahhhhh! How's everyone else finding uni at the moment? It's only my second week and I'm swamped :(

Have a wicked Thrusday :)

Polo Neck crop top, Door-knocker Earrings + some bargains

Bitch be wearing them shoes AGAIN
 Excuse my messy room :)



Polo crop top : Charity shop 
Disco Pants : American Apparel
Denim coat : Bootsale
Boots : Jeffrey Campbell 
Earrings : Topshop
Sunglasses : Primark

Oh hey guys :) I'm in such a good mood jammin' to Prince over here. It feels like forever since I last blogged. I've been busy doing mostly nothing but enjoying the sunshine, my boyfriend, BBQ's and moving into my new house with my girls. Not so happy about going into my third year of uni, but hey if I can pass it may as well finish. Anyone else back at uni?

My new room has a HUUUGE mirrored wardrobe, I don't think even I could fill it. What better way to utilise the new wardrobe than for an outfit photo? I've discovered new comfort zone in  my beanie hat, it covers up shitty looking hair and makes any outfit a bit better somehow. I went for the fail-safe Disco Pants today, they look good with EVERYTHING! I found the polo top I'm wearing today in a charity shop for £1.99. Add some huge gold doorknockers and Jeffrey Campbells and I'm ready for the day.

Been doing some shopping too :

Cossie : Rokit Vintage - £5

 Cheesy Tie-dye T shirt - Oxfam £1.99

 The fresh Prince shorts : Bricklane Market £1 

Don't know about you but my student loan is late D: WHY?? I NEED THIS STUFF -

1. Rainbow Nike Air Max 90  - The 90's called and want their favourite shoes back. NO THEY BELONG TO ME!

2.Studded cross Bodysuit HERE - I love this so much, not sure if it'll cover my boobies though...

3. Chain Quilted PU jacket HERE - I saw a girl wearing this on Bricklane this weekend , needless to say she looked sick, now I want it.

4.Spike hair cuff HERE - Badass.

5. Jeffrey Campbell Wolf platforms HERE - So high , but so good! These are perfect for winter.

6. Fluffy kimono HERE - Been eyeing this up at work and now it's mine :) 

Have a lovely week :) I've got some very exciting news to share with you very soon so I'll be posting...SOON

Sunny G's : ASOS
Shoes : Office

Ear cuff : Topshop sale
Hoop earring : Primark
Bindi : Ebay

 Backpack : Primark


I would like to take a moment to say ...

THANK YOU LOVELIES !!!! OVER 100 FOLLOWERS!!


I got back from Boomtown and looked at my blog and really. No wait REALLY , SO MANY PEOPLE READ IT NOW WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT????
I really appreciate that people enjoy my blog because I'm obsessed with reading/looking at and being inspired by other's ! Thanks to Charmaine from over at www.charmainescloset.blogspot.co.uk for introducing loads of new readers , hey guys :)  I actually thought about doing a 100 followers giveaway (looks like that's what everyone else does) but in case you haven't noticed from the title, I am skint so I will just have to give away my love to you all :) MWAH

Boomtown blew my mind yet again, I met the best people, I keep finding phone numbers written on rizlas in everything I own. My lovely boyfriend managed to lost my Purple Galaxy BlackMilk leggings though ( I would cut off his head if he hadn't promised to buy me more. No seriously).

Funnily enough , my dad said I looked like Caren Wheeler from Soul 2 Soul today, hence blog title, must be getting this 90's thing right, LOVES IT ME! After the madness and shenanigans of Boomtown I've toned it down a bit, still can't quite be parted from my Bindis though, I think they are here to stay FOREVER. 

I'm going to cut it off there, I just got a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 for anyone who's interested) and I am desperate to start playing around with it, already had it for about 5 hours and don't know how it works haha!

I can't wait to show you all my Boomtown photo's when they get developed watch this space :)

Acid wash, gold chain, DIY Ombre hair and this weeks lustlist

Polo neck crop top : Maxmara via charity shop , Acid wash Jeans : My sisters via ebay , 
Wedge Trainers : H&M , Necklace : Peacocks








Hey dudes! I'm back with a tan! Croatia was amazing, we caught the end of the Garden festival along with Electric Elephant, had fun with my most amazing Bristol girls, beauties from Dublin, saw some ace DJs and partied for 6 days straight. This photo sums up the week really HA!:


I am still poor as a church mouse so haven't been able to get my braids again BOO!! But I really wanted to change my hairstyle so I went ombre. I prefer this ombre look so much more to my pre blog pink dip dye, really subtle and didn't make it all break off! 

Also, I decided to take my eyelashes into my own hands and apply my own long lasting eyelash extensions (last photo) . I used to pay around a tenner to get them done in Peckham but I managed to do them myself with just £3.00 worth of lashes from a beauty shop and some weave glue! Now I know that sounds horrific but they are SO GOOD!! And they don't pull out my lashes when I remove them like the professionally applied ones, I might even do a Youtube video tutorial, so easy to apply and they last for like 2 weeks!

Anywhooooo payday is coming up and we both know I've already mentally spent that money :

  1. White silk polo neck dress : Topshop Unique AW12
  2. Last judgement leggings : BlackMilk
  3. Gorilla tank top : Romwe
  4. High waisted Easy Jeans : American apparel
  5. Cheetah T shirt as seen on Rihanna !!! : Katie Eary
  6. Bra top : Monki
  7. Eye jumper : Monki
  8. Flatform trainers : River-Island

Six days and counting :)

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

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
