Elle, The Stones and Velvet Distractions








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.

Lana Del Rey




What I'm wearing: Shirt (underneath) - H&M, metallic t-shirt - H&M, trousers - H&M, blazer - New Look, shoes - Topshop, gold cuff - H&M, spikey necklace - bracelet from Topshop on a chain, watch - my nans.

I've finally finished going through all the revision for my maths exam tomorrow afternoon, phew!  I have 2 small topics I'm worried I'm no good at but I'm planning on going in early tomorrow to have a quick pre-exam lesson before school starts along with an actually maths lesson before lunch.  Phew!  I have a very very chilled out teacher all morning up until my maths lesson so she'll probably give us on period to revise.  Love her!
As soon as I get in tomorrow I'm heading off to the gym then I'm starting my chemistry & physics revision.  Urgh!  But as I'm going to spread it out more than my maths I'm going to not be in the house three days on the trot cramming my brain with mush.  Phew again.  
Lana Del Rey has been my morbid godsend the last few days her voice just makes me go into a lull of concentration and relaxation.  I don't know I just love Lana Del Ray!  Since I saw her on the Mulberry front row for a/w 12 she has just been even cooler in my mind.  

I decided to go pretty much make up-less today except a little eyebrow-age.  I kinda like it!  More summery and fresh... Not to mention how very different considering that I have worn winged eyeliner most days of the last year/two years.  Yay, skin breather!


Okay, okay.  I have a video from yesterday's outfit that I think I might be posting soon if I get around to editting, I hope I can!  Don't you think it's funny that I'm super up to date with my blogging and videos when I have a rush of exams! Haha!  I guess it's something to give me a break, you can't cram for 3 days in a row without a break, can you!?  Well, I can't.

Back to my outfit!  I actually really really liked my outfit today.  Mix of overdressed casual-ness.  I love how the metallic t-shit mixes it all up to; contrasting ever so nicely with the trousers! Yay.  Despite the fact I only went to see some friends and chilled out all day (after revision may I stress)...That doesn't matter.  

I'm planning to have a relaxing Lana filled early night so I'm off to go shower, read a book, listen to Lana and smell my shirt as it smells of my boyfriends a m a z i n g Burberry aftershave. Mmmmmmmm.

Lots of love xxxxxxx
