Dungaree Days

Dungarees - Topshop

Jumper - Topshop

Boots - H&M

Before I begin, I would like to say a big thank you to my lovely parents, who kindly bought me my lovely new dungarees and pretty white jumper!  I'm so in love with them both, I can just see myself wearing them all summer long...

I wore this outfit for mine and my boyfriend's 2 year anniversary...Yes, I know, 2 years!  Ah!  So exciting and so strange its been that long, it really doesn't feel that long at all.  It's been a wonderful two years and I hope it continues!  We didn't make a huge deal of it, we just stayed at home, had some pizza and watched Johnathon Ross.  All, in all, it was lovely.

Lew's OOTD....

Despite the fact we didn't do anything I still wanted to look relatively pretty so I wore my lovely new outfit.  Can't explain my love for it all.  Eeee!  I just love rocking out dungarees and feeling like a small child again, but (hopefully) putting a slight twist to it.

I went up to Cambridge last weekend to see my family but I forgot all about taking pictures, so I am terribly sorry about that.  It would've been so nice to see some pictures on here, I want my blog to be more than just OOTD after OOTD.  But alas, what can I do now.  Mind you, I did buy some rather lovely pieces in the H&M up there so keep your eyes peeled for the haul I'm about to film once this is posted!

Due to the Cambridge visit, I didn't manage to get any posts up.  As well as the fact I had a French written exam last Monday, I was up to my ears in school work.  Thankfully that is done and I got my results for my January exams on Thursday...I'm pretty pleased!  I got an A* in English Language and a B in Maths.  But I have to do another maths paper in the summer, so hopefully if I try my hardest I can get an A, but if I don't I've still got my B!  Horray!

Oh and how do you guys like my hair like this?!  I'm so tired of the same topknot every day!  Let me know!

DIY Skirt & A Happy New Year!

'What have you done today, Megan?' you might ask.  Well, I made a skirt.  The one in the outfit and it cost me a total of £3 to produce.  Much cheaper then going to Topshop or the like for something similar...I'm so happy with it!

I've just filmed my Christmas haul and within that you will see that I got a sewing machine for Crimbo.  I've wanted one for a good few years to make my own clothes and try and save money (as I'm dreadful at saving :-( )  So yeah, since Christmas (bearing in mind I was away for 3 days - machine-less!) I've made this skirt, another one, in a different fabric, a pair of shorts, 2 bags and a few random things.  Pretty good going I say!

I went to the fabric shop a few days ago and got the houndstooth print fabric along with some crushed velvet but I'm still wondering what to do with the velvet.  I could make another skirt (from Toppers the equivalent would be £30 odd) or a really nice pair of shorts... I'd love to learn how to make a blazer so I could make a velvet shorts suit.  That would be so cool!  But I imagine blazers are  very difficult...Maybe I'll ask my sewing teacher to help me.  Or if you guys know, comment, it would be so helpful!

Anyway, I'm loving my new tshirt too!  I wore it with some amazing leather trousers I got in the Topshop sale and my mum said I looked like I was from Wham....Hmm.  My bag is new as well and despite it being really quite boxy and feeling plastic-y, it's gorgeous.  What else do you expect from Primark, though?  It was such a bargain at £12 I couldn't resist.

Oh, and I decided not to crop all of my room out of the photos as I really don't like just having a rectangle for an outfit photo, I'd rather have my messy room in the picture!  I really should start taking pictures elsewhere....Oh well!

I hope you guys have all had a brilliant Christmas and as it's the 31st of December, a fantastic New Year!  I'm really looking forward to spending it with all of my friends, yay!  What are you guys doing and what are you wearing?  I'll definitely get some pictures of my evening and my outfit up in the next few days.  Maybe, I'll post my resolutions and look back at them this time in 2013.

Love you all loads!

Dress - Romwe, Jacket - Motel, Bag - H! by Henry Holland, Necklace - Gift, Rings - All mum's, cuff - Topshop, Lipstick - Topshop in Beguiled

I wore this outfit to go to a charity fashion show at a local all-girls school.  I wouldn't have gone along normally - as it was mainly aimed at pupil's friends and family.  Most of the models were sixth form students along with a few teachers, I think.  I went along to help out a friend and also because I really wanted to!

    I went along with Question Me a group that is based around young people and they do all sorts.  They filmed the event as part of Question Me TV and I presented for them.  I've never done any presenting before but I do make YouTube videos so I thought it would probably be ok... And it was!  I think... I interviewed a few of the students at the school about modelling, styling, inspiration and just general questions about the event along with an interview with head mistress.  It was all in all pretty fun!  I really enjoyed presenting and watching the show ten times more then I thought I would and I'd really love to do a bit more presenting stuff in the future.

I wanted to look quite smart yet stay on trend as it's a fashion show after all.  A girls got to dress good right?  I smartened up this super sweet dress from Romwe with black boots with a small heel to make it more sophisticated and, really, just to make my legs look a little longer then they actually are!  (If you guys know how I can sort this short leg issue out, please help me.  I'm desperate!) I wasn't going to go into official work mode though because erm...it wasn't work.  I threw on my leather jacket to add some 'edge' and just make it a little rockier and live up to my 'fashion blogger' name which I rather enjoyed being known as on the night.  The satchel just goes with everything so that explains that.  I loved the look and felt really comfortable and just like myself in it.  It's not too daring but it still looks good.
    When the video of the night is all ready I'll put it up for you guys to have a quick look.

All in all, I've had a very successful weekend.  I've ordered 3 pairs of shoes (pictures up when they arrive), filmed a few videos, read my magazines & part of my new book (might do a post on it once I've read it - it's about fashion careers), finished off my 40's style apron at my sewing class and got loads of ideas for upcoming things!
