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!

Haul Time

Crop Top - Internacionale (£6.99)

Stacking rings - H&M (£3.99) 
(ignore my chipped nail polish...I'm off to paint them in a sec!)

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl (£2.95 at Tesco)


Pretty boots - H&M (£24.99)

As promised, my haul.  Despite there not being a lot, it's atleast £40's worth; atleast 2 weeks of wages!  (baring in mind, I only work on Saturdays so, still pretty darn good for me).  

I've been lusting after one of those turtle neck crop tops since the moment I first saw one.  Finally I have got my hands on one and I'm clueless as to why it took me so long.  If you read yesterday's post, you'll know I was looking for some plain-ish tees that I could just wear with everything and in my disappointment, I gave in a bought one of these cuties.  I'm definitely going to get myself a black one too, I can see myself wearing it non stop over the summer with denim cut offs or statement trousers.  At £6.99 from Internacionale, it was one of the cheaper ones...Although it is annoyingly see through so I wish I spent a few more pounds and went to Topshop or ordered from Asos.  But alas!

I bought the stacked rings just because I think they give an outfit just a really cool touch.  I can't quite explain  it, but as a girl who loves jewellery, I'm super in love with simple things right now. 

As for the book.  I'm a huge book lover (mainly of rubbish, supernatural, teen romances; Twilight and the like).  I saw the movie of Beautiful Creatures and was quite dissapointed  but I've got a feeling that the book is going to be a lot more in-depth than the movie, that I felt, sort of ran over the key points too quickly.  I'm trying not to set my hopes too high, just incase.
   On the note of books, I really would love to 'open my mind' to more literature and good books.  Not just classic novel, anything that you feel everyone should read in their lifetime.  So, if you have any recommendations, please let me know in the comments!

Finally, my gorgeous boots!  I love them!  So pretty.  I've been after a pair like these for what also feels like forever, but the same as with the crop top, I just never found myself buying any.  It was probably to do with the fact the only ones I found were close to £70 when I'd much prefer to spent £25.  So, I did!  Without a shadow of a doubt, I love them!  Super happy with them and I think they'll be one of the finishing touches half of my outfits are crying out for.

I have attempted to film a haul twice now.  The first time I was much to rambley and my hair was a hideous, hideous mess - even more so than usual.  And the second time the entire thing was out of focus.  I looked like a pink-y, yellow-y blob.  So...Off to shower, paint my nails before round 3 of my haul attempt...

Black, Gold & a little bit of Faux Fur



Peplum/H&M//Jeans/Topshop//Shoes/Topshop//Leather Jacket/Motel Rocks//Faux Fur Stole/Topshop/Lipstick/Topshop in Beguiled//

I'm well aware this outfit it beyond boring, but in a way, I really liked the simplicity and sophistication of it in all of it's plain black glory.  But then again, some of the most amazing outfits can be all black.  Think Valentino AW12 and Dolce and Gabbana with the gold & black shoes (post on the HOTTIES very soon).
    As the outfit I was all black, I felt like having a tad more fun when editing (although all I do is play with colours and use crop!) and went for a blue-y theme today.  Don't worry, this isn't going to be a regular occurrence, it's just a bit of fun.
   I wore this outfit to go to a friends house for the evening, so it was very casual but I think you could smarten this up with maybe a blazer, some heels and some tapered trousers rather than jeans.
I'm thinking of doing a smart worky/school look book?  What do you guys think?  Leave me comments with what you think!
There's also a video for this look and when it's up, I'll leave a link here for you!
