Considering the sunshine today, going all black and 'goth-esque' was probably not one of my best ideas. Nonetheless, I bought this mesh tee recently and I couldn't wait to wear it any longer... So here it is. If you saw my last post you'll have seen these DIY'd Levi's and I'm totally loving them! Still annoyed you can't see the rips all too well but I suppose I'll live.
Not going to lie, I did receive a few funny looks for wearing this... I didn't think it was overly shocking? Maybe the people of my town just aren't ready for mesh. What kind of a place am I living in...
I just wore this to do some shopping today, I bought some cute fabrics and I'm planning on making a kimono and another dress. I'm thinking of doing a DIY series? A few tutorials and just showing you guys things I've been making? Let me know if you'd like it.
Hello my little stunners! I've missed blogging so much, I'm so happy to say I'm back. I've finished school now and I'm free until September. *party*
It's my prom tomorrow and I'm so so excited. I'll definitely get loads of photos and get them all up for you as soon as I can, I might even film a little vlog of it all. It's so exciting! I don't feel old enough....
Anyway! Here's my OOTD from a few days ago. I went to a Leavers BBQ at school; it's just a big send off they do at my school; we all go in and have a lovely relaxed assembly and they give out silly little awards that everyone votes for (incase you're wondering, in my tutor I was voted most likely to be a fashion designer and my entire year group voted me best dressed! Go me...). They close the school early for all the other pupils so that all the teachers are able to attend and say goodbye. It was lovely!
Playsuit: c/o Motel Rocks
Cardigan: Vintage
Belt: Primark
Shoes: YesWalker
Socks: Topshop
Chain necklace: H&M
Floral headband: Primark
Lipstick: Topshop's Inibition
This outfit is not particularly photogenic...I personally think it looks an awful lot better in real life but what can I do!
It was a chilled-but-nice vibe at school so I didn't want to look too laid back. Hence picking this beautiful little playsuit. I received this way back in October when I won a giveaway with Motel & Etail Webstores, but I've hardly worn it so when I noticed it hidden away at the back of my wardrobe I got all excited, as when you remove the belt, it looks just like 2 separate pieces... Something I've been searching for at a reasonable price for a month or so now. So you can imagine my excitement when I found this! But then I put a belt on...Remind me again why? Silly Megan.
I hope you like it nonetheless! There should be a haul up very soon, so keep your eyes open.
(sorry for the even worse quality then normal, I still need to get new batteries for my normal camera)
Hello lovelies. I absolutely love what I'm wearing today it's a mix of all my recent purchases and I just love it to pieces. It's really vibing what I want to dress like right now, although I do wish it was more summer so I could wear this with Levi's or a skirt... Although, my hair and make up on the other hand, is not at all what I would like to be going for, therefore I've cropped it out in almost all of the photos. You'll have to excuse me!
I bought this beautiful cardigan for £3 in a vintage/charity shop (I couldn't quite work out which it was!). I spotted it just as I was leaving so it felt like fate... A dream come true after me searching for the perfect beautiful white knit cardigan for ever. At last. It's a similar story for the bag too, me and a friend were pouring through a Sue Ryder charity shop and she found it for me and I was well and truly made up. It's so so gorgeous, it goes with literally everything. It's so simple and yet so pretty, cute and sophisticated. In love.
Today was a lovely day. I went to see The Host this morning with my mum and was very pleased! I was expecting it to be 100 times different to the book, like movies usually are. But as Stephenie Meyer's book adapted movie's go, they don't get messed with too much. Probably due to the millions of teenage girls (myself included) that would throw major hissy fits if it got changed. Can you imagine the impact of millions of stroppy, hormonal teenagers hissy-fitting at the same time...? Obviously not all are stroppy and hormonal, but I'm just generalising here.
After the film, we went for lunch at Jamie's which was so lovely. I love that Jamie's does smaller portions for pasta and stuff, perfect size for lunch time! Apart from that and my successful shopping trip, my half term has just been me working and sleeping. What have you guys been up to?
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!
Vest - Primark, Jeans and Denim Jacket - Topshop, Boots and Rings - H&M, Necklace - Dorothty Perkins
I bought this cute little monochrome sheer vest-y top today, envisaging all the outfits I can rock it with for S/S. Today I thought I'd go simple with my go to jeans, but ah, it will just go with everything! Not bad for £4.
This is like a shopping, or cinema outfit, just a day to day kind of one, but if I was to dress it up some more, I think I would go for a pair of black cigarette trousers or stick with the jeans and put on a black blazer with gorgeous heels or stick with the boots...as they're my new favourites. Despite really hurting my toes, though.
Whenever I make a mirror image of my outfits, it always loses its quality. For example, all of my pictures are taken on the same, very good, camera. So, why, when I edit them into mirrored images, do they go all rubbishy?! If you know, please help a girl out!
Oh, and thank you all so very much for your book recommendations, I will get my hands on them as soon as I can, but currently I am just about to begin the second book in the Beautiful Creatures series; Beautiful Darkness. The book turned out to be so much better than the movie, so, I was right! The movie completely changed the storyline of the ending, which totally annoyed me. If you make a movie of a book, atleast stick to the storyline closer than they did. Maybe they did it because they don't intend on making another movie. I'm not sure, but nonetheless, I'm loving the books. Mind you, they're totally ruining my revision schedule.
Talking of revision schedules, I must go back...Sad Megan.

Today I bought this pretty little crop after I jumped onto the turtle neck crop top band wagon. I've wanted one for ages, but never got around to buying one! Today I did after my search for simple tees and in my disappointment I bought this. Thus, satisfying myself again. I'm slightly annoyed now though, as its so so see through! Should have just spent an extra few £££ and gone to Toppers! Oh well.
Pretty simple outfit really. I wanted to highlight my lovely new boots which I also got today for tha bargain price of £25. I couldn't resist! Especially after wanting a pair like them forever! I was coveting chelsea boots in a similar style, but after having no luck I decided to just buy these babies instead. I'm a happy chicka! Definitely on the way to satisfying my need for new things, but let's wait until I get paid before I go all out. Woo!
Once again, I apologise for the poor pictures. As soon as it starts to warm up, I'll get them taken somewhere much nicer than my bedroom. It's beginning to wind me up how crap they look. Think I need to invest in a tripos to thoroughly crush this issue. Anyway.
I'll have a mini haul up tomorrow; literally mini, mini. So yeah.
Good night, I'm off to read Beautiful Creatures in the desperate hope that the book is better than the film. Or good day...depending when you're reading this.
I'm late with my Valentine's post, but I've been major busy this week so I'll leave my excuses to the minimum of that extent. For V day, I cooked Lewis and myself dinner then we just chilled out. I won't elaborate, you can see it all from the pictures!
A very lovely evening! Although looking back I have no idea why I wore that, because I look absolutely terriblly rough! I haven't the faintest why I didn't bother doing my hair nicer or sorting out my make up... Ugh, forever unsatisfied. Anyway...
I'm feeling truly dissapointed with my style recently. It's getting more and more boring and same-y. I need to go on a major shop, I think. My style is crying out for some major exciting key pieces; namely some accessories and a few stunning pieces that aren't too ordinary. I don't want to be stuck in a rut of boring clothes! If you know where I can get some super cool pieces, let me know.
Especially since I've been reading through every single blogger's LFW posts, I've been feeling like an outsider. Trust me, I tried to go to LFW but apparently my blog is not good enough at this point. Lets try next season, eh? Going to have fashtastic updates and replacements everywhere.
Okay. I hope you're looking forward to it.
P.S I've had a haircut...When I asked for it to be cut bluntly and straight on the ends...I got 3 inches off. I am certainly not happy, reversing all the efforts that it took me over the last year of growing it to the length it was but, I'll just have to rock it in a slightly different way. Sure I can do it.
Blazer, belt - Primark/Jeans, Tee - Topshop/Necklace - H&M/Shoes - YesWalker
I love the simplicity of this outfit and I'm still really into monochrome. It's definitely going to be one of my favourite trends for spring...but I'll have to inject some colour into my wardrobe somewhere. Mind you, I'm pretty comfortable in my black and white style recently...need to 'spice' things up!
I've filmed a haul & an OOTD of this, so they should both be up soon. But for the moment, I need to go and do things. So, enjoy!
These are my recent purchases over the last week or so, so I thought I'd share them with you! Even though I'm currently saving up a bit of money to go for a big shop in the half term, so there isn't a lot. Still thought it would be good to get this up though, so enjoy!
As featured in my last post...The Lacey Jeans! Who else is in love? I am. Very deeply.
They're so gorgeous, they're just the perfect mixture of slouchy boyfriend and nice fitting so that I don't look like a huge fatso.
May I just note that all this week, whilst I've cut most of the crap out of my diet, I have significantly slimmed (or so I have noticed - no one else has, but whatever!) so these jeans are already a few inches too big... But still wearable nontheless.
Anyway, yes, they're fabulous.
The clutch is from Primark (£2!). I wasn't in search of a clutch at all, I just walked past and saw that it was only 2 pounds and felt I would not miss out on the little cutie. Infact, I was in search of the belt (also only £2) but as I was sort of rushing, I managed to pick it up in a M/L instead of S/M which is majorly frustrating so I've made a hip hole but not yet a waist one. To be honest, I was expecting it to look great with loads of things, but in reality it doesn't look so good on me. I think it might be my short legs...I don't really know.
As for the little beauty pieces, they're all from Fragrance Direct, except the moisturiser. Incase you haven't heard of Fragrance Direct, its basically a super cheap beauty site and in total my purchase of Bourjois foundation and concealer, a brush and Essie nail polish came to £10 including P&P. How bloody good?!
Unfortunately there is a really limited amount of shades so I was lucky that the foundation and concealer actually matched to me as there was literally about 4 shades to pick from, I just chose the lightest. The Essie polish only had about 6 options to choose from which was gutting but I love the pink colour! It's just SO cute. Then we come to the brush. I was expecting the brush to be a mini but not as mini as it is! I was a little dissapointed but for one pound something I didn't really mind.
Then the moisturiser! So it's Olay Essential Beauty Fluid. The box claimed to make my skin utterly beautiful and soft and lovely and I think it's aimed at an older age group to myself but I still am really liking it! I usually go for a different Olay one, but I'm glad I went for this one instead!
Okay, so this was longer than I expected it to be. Next time I do a haul, I'll either make a video or I'll just take individual pictures and write small captions. Anyway, hope you like what I bought! Have you bought anything you're particularly happy with recently?
Oh and I also filmed an OOTN recently so here it is:
Day hello to my new beautiful jeans! These babies are the Topshop Lacey jeans and I'm in love! After my mum rudely got rid of my old boyfriend jeans, she kindly replaced them as a reward for saving up some money (after all, I'm terrible at it) and for just general reward for working so hard at school and what not. Thank you, Mummy!
I've got so many outfits in mind and I can't wait to continue to style them up. I was desperate to wear it with my graphic black and white tee from my last post, but I didn't want to over-wear it. Rest assured, I'm sure you'll see it in a few weeks. I'm also quite suprised with myself I haven't get posted my leather trousers and the tee as its been a go to outfit for me! But, I'm sure that will also be up soon.
So, I've had this jumper for atleast a year, but I hardly ever wear it! I think I will more...it feels very glamorous, I'm liking that little sparkle it gives the outfit. Oh and that clutch! I bought it today in town and it was £2 in Primark, how good?! Couldn't resist. Also got the coolest peplum jacket, that I may wear to a party tomorrow & a belt. I'll do a haul soon!
Oh and I've finished my exams for a month or so, yay! This meaning lots more blog posts, so,look out for them.
Today's outfit came out on camera a lot worse that it looked in person. In real life, I love it, but in image form it doesn't look too great. Nonetheless! You may have noticed I am wearing black cigarrette trousers. Before you think it, I shall say it; yes I do wear these to school a lot. But who cares? They're a key trend for SS so why not embrace them as an important part of my wardrobe? I finish school in June anyway, then they're all mine to wear for any occasion. Horrah.
I've got to go and get on with the last of my textiles coursework now, but before I do I have an announcement! I made a tumblr! It goes with the new theme of my blog - crystallised fashion.
I hope you all like it, I'm really enjoying all the inspiring pictures, they're so pretty. I only really have it for that, I don't want to get involved with all the strange things that go on that website, I'm there for the pretty pictures only! So, I won't be using it on a personal basis and writing updates about myself - that's why I have Twitter! But if you do want to ask me things and whatever, you can do so on there as I'll make sure to answer. I always make sure I check out people who follow me on there (like I do on Twitter) and follow back people's blogs that I like so, yeah. Anyhow, enjoy.
P.S Does anyone know where I can buy magazines like LOVE or i-D in the UK? From shops preferably! Any other cool magazines that aren't in every corner shop. Or like must read fashion books. Let me know please!
Skirt/Made by Me//Shirt/Topshop//Jumper/New Look//Socks/Topshop/Shoes/YesWalker//Bag/Primark//Necklace/H&M
Today I made another skirt and this was the first thing I put together with it. I liked it so didn't change, just tried to make it even more me with the accessories and shoes. Like I said, I made the skirt this morning out of the crushed velvet I spoke about a few days ago. It was pretty easy actually but the velvet is very thin so next time I might invest in the proper stuff. I made it to be a midi length originally but I really like that it turned out so versatile I can roll it up and it be normal length, pull it down and it be really long or if I really wanted I could pull it really high up and make a strap-less very short dress...mind you I probably won't be doing that one. I've wanted something velvet in my wardrobe for ages and I didn't realise until now I have nothing bar a pair of leggings. So yay!
I think I'm going to have so many outfits to wear with this skirt, whether I dress it up or down, so I'm in love! Especially considering the ridiculously cheap cost at which it came to for such a key piece for the next few months.
I was going for a comfy, toned down, relaxed vibe but I still wanted to look suitable for any sort of occasion that might come my way. If I was to go less dress-y (not that I think this is, but some people might do), I would change the flatforms and put on some boots or loafers and pull up the skirt to a more normal, just above knee length and maybe take off the shirt. But yeah.
I'm in love with the shoes too! They're from YesWalker, but I'm going to do a post on these very soon so I won't talk too much about them. Obviously peep toes should go sock-less but in my opinion as a 15 year old, I can do what I like. Besides from double denim (unless its in) and the other crucial fash rules.
I hope you don't mind the off-colours in the photos either, I tried to edit them all the same but strange lighting in each one made it impossible to make them all look the same! So annoying. But as you can see, I went a little far with the editing today as I'm doing everything possible to avoid revision. Ugh, really should go and revise...Oh well! I've also noticed that there's always random bits of crap in my room...Like the calculator on the floor by my shoe picture, the random gold thing under my bed... I'll have to start tidying up.
Oh and my Elle magazine has just come through the door...More distractions. And my mum gave me The Stones 'Grr' album today. I just want to sit and listen to it in a dreamlike state all day long. Ok, wish me luck revising.
