MEDUSA

 

 

Don't be too jealous of my INSANE editing skills ;) ahhhaahha

 

I love LovelySally and this Medusa swimsuit has got to be up there as one of my favourite pieces! Top quality, highly detailed printing with a glossy sheen, Italian made perfection! The material is very thick so you can't see through it and it's not too clingy either, so it doesn't cling to your fat rolls hahah no joke though, the material is very forgiving unlike other cheaper versions. The Medusa swim is part of their new collection and you can also get this print on a dress, along with loads of new designs, including the Flamingo skirt that I did a previous post on :) 

The necklace I'm wearing is from VayStore and this is my new favouite necklace, it's a beautiful statement piece and seems to go with everything. They do some great pieces so it's worth checking out their store!

The headdress is part of a Medusa fancy dress kit, it's amazing right?! It took me forever to find one as they were sold out everywhere but I found this one one ebay :) It came with a long black, velvet, greek style dress and a little snake you can wrap around your arm, I have so many obscure fancy dress costumes in my wardobe, you never know when you might need one! Haha

The Jeffrey Campbells are the first ones I ever bought! They're 'Wreckers' and I think they come in black too, but after seeing these brown ones I had to have them! They were the most expensive ones to buy as I got them from Akira, living in the UK the tax I had to pay on them was about £70, add that to the shipping and it totaled to around £350 eek! Definatly worth it though!

HAUL

I had to go into Uni the other day to do a final assessment so when I'd finished I thought I'd treat myself and go shopping!
:D

  

First us is this gorgeous playsuit from Topshop! I saw it on the website but thought I should probably try it on first as some playsuits look daft on me lol I found this one (a size 8) and a size 16 hiding behind some dresses, these were the last 2 in the shop so I was pretty lucky to have found them! I thought it would be tiny as it's a size 8 and it is quite small. The material is very thick and it's lined so it doesn't really stretch that much, but once I had managed to do the zip up, it was okay. I love the pattern and the colour of it, I think i'll wear it with mint accessories for a nice summery look

:)



 

 

 

Next up is this maxi dress! I originally wanted the shorts and tee combo in this print but it was £62-ish? and sold out so I got this dress, which was only £32, and planned on sewing it up into a playsuit. This is the first maxi dress I've ever bought as I've never really liked them, I'm not that tall so they're usually too long for me haha but this fits perfectly! I've decided to leave it long, I've worn it twice already and recieved loads of compliments which I was quite surprised at! I wore it with these green Primark sandals and my black Chanel bag in the day and added my black biker jacket when it got colder later on. The only bad thing is that I need to find an underskirt to wear with it as static was a BIG problem!

 

This little vest was again from Topshop and was £26 which I think is rather expensive for what it is, but hey, I thought it was quite jazzy and these do fit really well. It will go great with a pair of jeans for a simple look. This is the kind of top I would wear to May Sum, I  would be able to stuff my face with 100000 tons of Chinese food and my fat belly would be nicely disguised

;)

 

 These 3 dresses are from H&M and I'm really happy with these! They'll be perfect for summer with a thin belt around them. I especially love the white one, I thought it was so pretty and summery! They should have been £7.99 each which is cheap anyway but when I got to the checkout they were only £4 each! Absolute bargain don't you think?!

:D 

 

Last up is this sparkly nail varish, I'm a sucker for picking up things that are advertised in the queing area haha it is very sparkly though

;)

SUNSET PACK

 

 

This is just a simple outfit I wore to work the other day. It's not the most interesting outfit but I had to show off my amazing new trainers!! I ordered them as soon as they came out on JD and they came the next day :D I wanted the Air Max 90's but they only started in a size 7 (they're mens you see,) so I had to get the Air Max 1's as they started in a size 6

 :)

They are soooo comfy and I love the bright sunset colour scheme, I've had them on everyday! I will more than likely be posting more looks with them soon

:)

 

Outfit:

Grey jumper: H&M - £7.99

Disco pants: American Apparel - £74

Cross necklace: Primark - £2.00

Sunglasses: Primark - £2.00

Trainers: Nike Air Max 1's, sunset pack collection - £95

FEELIN' DANDY

 

 

 

Here's a look featuring my Topshop Dandy trousers! I wanted to wear them with an orange blazer for a bright summery look but it was quite cold and rainy so I wore them with all black instead so I could wear this warm jacket and my boots.

I was going out for a meal at the local Indian restaurant and later discovered that these trousers weren't the best choice! The waistband is quite tight and doesn't stretch so I couldn't really sit down in them, I had to undo them and this was before I'd even eaten anything OH THE SHAME hahah

:)

 

You can also buy a matching jacket and wear with the trousers as a suit! But if you saw my previous post, you would have seen me moan about it being to jazzy to wear in Derby and that you'd probably get weird looks as it's not the most fashionable place in the world haha I do love it though!

:)

✝ CATHEDRAL DRESS ✝

 

 

 So then, I've finished my exams WOO HELLO SUMMER OFF!!

I've been meaning to do this post for a while but hadn't really had the time, I felt that any time I did have should've been spent revising haha

I am in love with my cathedral dress, it's not Black Milk, it's from Romwe but it's still really bright, the print is clear and it's quite thick. I got a size M thinking the sizes would be tiny but they weren't so it's a little baggy

:)

I used to have a gorgeous little black jacket from H&M but it got stolen :( I didn't think i'd find another that I liked as much but thankfully I found this one and I love it! It's just the right lengh for me and I love the runched up sleeves, I would've only just rolled them up anyway haha

The rose crown and wedges are a result of my handywork and i'm not sure if you can tell but i'm wearing false nails for the first time in my life! I filed them right down as I couldn't do anything with them, how do people cope with long nails? :S
