American Apparel Factory Outlet Brick Lane Picks + River Island Riding Pants dupe

There are a few advantages of being back in the East End for uni, one of them being the American Apparel Factory Outlet being just down the road on Brick Lane. EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH CHEAPER! We are talking £34 for disco pants, £30 for florescent chiffon shirts I KNOW!!!! £11 for crop tops etc.. And the best thing is it goes on until the 14th of October, so if your in London definitely get down there.

Here's just a few of my picks on sale at the outlet :

- All available at the American Apparel outlet sale-

Anyway, today I headed down and bought some riding pants in Steel Grey for £34 BARGAIN. It's weird but I wasn't going to get any till I saw these from River Island :

American Apparel riding pants dupe - £35 River-Island

I went to River Island after work an tried them on, they were really nice and very similar material and looked great on. Fully would have bought them if they came in other colours and if they weren't £1 more expensive than the actual American Apparel ones I got today...

Moral of the story is - for the love of god, go down to the AA Outlet if your are around London before October 14th

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

T shirt : Primark

Jeans : American Apparel

Creepers : Underground

Hat : Ebay

Watch : Ebay

Lipstick : Sleek in Vamp

Hey guys! I'm so hungover I can practically hear my liver crying :(( If you already follow my Instagram (or if not my username is Frankiegd) you'll probably be able to see evidence of heavy consumption of gin and juice last night. Me and Jackie went to Proud Camden, SO MUCH POLE DANCING! Needless to say I'm bruised and battered today, poor old me. I'm not quite sure why I decided to do an OOTD post today of all days, I may as well be wearing trackies but hey, it's dress down Friday! Also, I lost my bindis MAAAAAAAAN!! Anyway, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new lippy from Sleek which I'mw earing int he pikkies. It's the perfect shade of matte dark red, doesn't dry out my lips at all and stays on a treat! I would highly recommend it, only £4.99 as well :)

- PRIMARK HAUL -

High waisted leggings x 2 - £6 each

Eyelashes - £1

T shirt - £8

Clutch - £6

I felt so shitty the other day about uni and thought fuck it, I'm going to go to Primark in Peckham and hope my card doesn't get declined when I try and buy stuff (I have a fear of looking at my account balance, anyone else? Or just me? haha!). I bought two pairs of leggings in the same colour but they are SO NICE, high waisted and I love wine colour ones. You'll definitely be seeing them in some posts soon. The Macaulay Culkin T shirt speaks for itself , I was umming and ahhing about getting it but as you can see it was too dope to pass up. THE CLUTCH !!! I think the studded clutch is a bit of a must have at the moment, and I managed to snap one up for £6, even cheaper than the Select version.

P.S I'm going to my first carboot on Sunday and I can't bloody wait, after always reading about Lucy from LULUTRIXABELLE dirt cheap finds I decided to try it myself, wish me luck with finding stuff !!!

NIGHT NIGHT + KISSES

(haha my face !!!!!)
