Topshop Appreciation(?)

Hello! I am alive! Thank you everyone for not leaving me! Sorry, I've just been so busy working and feeling so uninspired and unmotivated, basically my life is not where I planned it would be and I just can't seem to push myself to do anything creative. But the other day I felt really creative so I actually drew and made myself go outside in the cold to take some photos. 

And I am not joking when I say cold. I froze my butt off to take these photos. My sister, who usually takes the photos is at Uni, so I had my SO take them for me... he has shaky hands anyway and the cold really didn't help so I only managed to get a few good photos which weren't too blurry (plus a majority of them I look crazy in them). If you look closely enough you'll see me tearing up cause of the wind.

As you may not know, I am currently working as a Visual Merchandiser for Outfit, which is part of the Arcadia group... and hello staff discount! Basically my whole outfit is Topshop... but this was a happy accident, I didn't plan to go full Topshop. 

These jeans are my new favourite go-to jeans, they are super comfy and the add that little bit of edge when you can't be bothered to dress up. & I love this denim coat! The only problem with it is that it really isn't warm enough, so I'm going to have to put it away till it gets slightly warmer :( Good job I recently bought another coat, then my SO bought me one too...

Let's talk about Co-ords!*

Hello everyone! How are you all?

Just wanted to share with you my love for Co ords! To be quite honest, I've always loved the trend when it first came out, but have not actually been brave enough to buy any! 

I've been surfing the interwebs, and have found that they aren't actually that expensive, and they are so easy; no need to find something to match your new skirt or top! 

They are perfect for summer, I'm going on holiday in August and am planning to get some, but the question is which one(s) should I get? 

Kaleidoscope Dreams

Hello everyone! & all my new followers! I have passed the 50 mark on bloglovin! Thank you :D and thank you Amy Valentine for featuring me in your Fashion Favourites, Jan 2014! Really appreciate it!

I really can't wait for the it to get warmer, so I can take my camera and go for walks! For now you'll just have to deal with my over photoshopped photo...

I've recently got a new job and it requires me to wear all black, so my outfits are probably going to get a lot darker! I bought these shoes from my trip to Tokyo, I love them, they are super comfy and are fur lined which keeps my feet nice and toasty, but I have seen similar styles of them everywhere. 

The kaleidoscope pattern below was actually something I made during Uni and thought it looked nice with my skirt, so I recycled it! If you want to check out my portfolio, click here!

Iridescent Purple

Finally, I got something off one of my wishlists! This Topshop sweat dress! I was waiting for the sun to come out so I could wear this with my new mesh socks I bought from Japan! I love these socks, they're so cute; pastel purple with a mesh section. I have seen similar ones on Asos here for only £4! Unfortunately, the weather fooled me, it looked bright and sunny but it was actually freezing... I had so many weird looks from people who were wearing big padded jackets and scarves. 

Sorry these photos are kinda rushed, I didn't want to miss the sun! I had to wait for my sister to finish school to help me so only had a short time to take photos. As you can see, I did try to jazz one of the photos up... (emphasis on try) 

Wonderful Sunny England

I would like to take this opportunity to say a very belated Merry Christmas and Happy New year!! Better late then never, eh? Hope everyone receives good fortune and may 2014 be better than 2013!

I have returned from Asia! I had an amazing start to 2014, and an amazing time in Asia with my beautiful bf, and I even had the chance to go to Tokyo, Japan, as well as Hong Kong. Though now I'm already missing Asia... but hopefully now I can update more, especially with all the stuff I've bought... and get back to doing outfit posts. 

Well, anyway, here's a few photos from my trip! My outfits aren't exactly inspiring, so apologies for that, but I decided to choose comfort over style because I'm an old lady like that. Also, the weather in Tokyo was sooo cold (especially as we have been in HK for 2 months).

Looking back on my trip, I really regret not taking more photos. I did however buy a new camera in HK! Just a nice digital camera that I can carry around and not lug around my DSLR. I took it to Ocean park in HK, then my memory card decided to error and I have forever lost those photos.... oh sadness, so I had to make due with my trusty iphone.

We (I say we, but I mean my bf) won lots of stuffed toys at Ocean Park; unfortunately we had no space or weight to bring them all back D: It was lots of fun though! 

*note: you're going to be bombarded with photos now! I did try to narrow them down, but I want to show you all the things we did!

October Wishlist

I've completely missed out my September wish list and jumped straight to October! Half way through putting this together I thought about doing a Halloween themed one... but alas it's a bit late now!

I'm really liking simple, plain coloured clothing at the moment, so my wishlist this month consists of black and grey hues with a hint of green.

I'm going to Hong Kong in November (ohmygosh!), so I restraining myself from spending any money; meaning I can't buy anything! I'm hoping to find some nice and cheap items in HK. Item 11 on the list, Topshop Backpack, is on sale at the moment, but still out of my budget. It's gorgeous, though, so if anyone wants to buy me a going away present...

Fall into Autumn

Hello all! My apologies once again for the lack of posts! It wasn't intentional, I promise. I really admire people who constantly update! Give me some tips! Such a bad blogger... even missed out LFW.

Also, I would like to thank Charmaine from Charmaines Closet for featuring me on her blog :D and hello to my new followers!

As the weather is starting to cool, I've brought out some of my knitwear! I woke up early today and it seemed like the perfect weather for a heavy knit jumper, but boy was I wrong! By the time we went out to shoot (around the afternoon time), it got really hot and I kinda regretted wearing a jumper.

I really like these jeans from Topshop, they're from last year but its made from 2 types of material, denim on the front and a jersey type thing on the back; they are super comfortable. 

I am aware the first two photos are the same... but I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so here's both of them.

Summer's Nearly Over

Ah, I've been so bad, I'm still new to this blogging business so please forgive my lack of posts! Just being trying to sort my life out... looking for jobs, etc. I've been so poor D: But I've finally found a job. I promise to try and post more!

Considering summer is nearly over, I should take full advantage of the sun.... before the dark days dawn upon us.

In one of my previous posts, I spoke about sunflower sunglasses, and here they are! Aren't they cute. I have quite a mixture of florals in this look, from the sunflowers on my dungarees to my floral bag. I like flowers. If you look close enough, that is a mini totoro plushie attached to my bag, hehe, & my necklace is tiny binoculars! 

Sunglasses: Primark (flowers: own)

Necklace: Camden Market

Top: Primark

Dungarees: thrifted

Roar

Hello! The British summer has been so crazy; in one day you can experience extreme hotness to grey skies, pouring with rain, but I found one day that was sunny! I've always wanted to have a photoshoot in one of these fields, and today it finally happened! Here is my second look, hope you guys enjoy. My hair colour is fading so quickly D: one of the disadvantages to semi permanent hair dye.

I’ve become really fond of purple makeup recently. If you look close enough I have dark purple eyebrows >.< Also mixed two different shades of purple lipstick to create the one I’m wearing.

I’m still so awkward in front of the camera, can you tell? Haha definitely not model material. I didn't realise I haven't got a shot of my shoes till it was too late, oh well, you'll just have to use your imagination.

This top is actually my little sisters, but she was gonna throw it away! Why waste a decent top? So I got my scissors and hacked off the sleeves and paired it with a black strapless top underneath.

  

Sunglasses: Topshop

Necklace: Forever 21

Top: Some shop in Camden

August Wishlist

Now, I don't know much about fashion, and I don't claim to, but I thought it would be nice to share with y'all what I have been wanting (today)! Going with the black & white trend which is very popular at the moment! Being a girl, this is not all that I want; just narrowed down my choices to kinda fit a trend (and only from 2 sites that I browsed through today). 

To be honest, 1-3 are items that I would buy but never wear, sadly I don't have the figure (or confidence) to wear something so 'fitted'. Also, I can be quite messy so white is definitely not the colour I should wear...

I've always been a fan of the whole floral trend, as much as some people hate it and say its cliche, so I've completely fallen for the daisy trend! I've even made some daisy sunglasses, which I will be showing soon! When I say made, I mean bought the sunglasses and daisies, then stuck them together!  

I created this 'amazing' collage on photoshop, I tried to make it look pretty, but I'm not sure if I failed? Also, I didn't put the looks into any sort of order... just made it look visually appealing.

1. Missguided Harvena Jersey Crop Top 

2. Asos Mesh Insert Midi Tee Dress

3. ASOS Open Mesh Bodycon Midi Dress

4. Missguided Daisy Cropped Jumper

5. ASOS Multirow Pearl Hair Combs

6. New Look Nude Slim Ankle Strap Metallic Heel Sandals

#OOTD

My first outfit post! Woohoo (exciting, right?)! Re-dyed my hair into multicolours, and I'm very happy with the outcome, too bad it fades so quickly. The British weather is so temperamental, one minute it's hot, next minute it's rainy and cold. 

Necklace: Accessorize

Crop Top: H&M
Kimono style top: Primark
