Since you went away my heart breaks everyday.

Another Christmas is over. I have been extremely spoilt this year and have gotten an impressive haul from Father Christmas. My Christmas wasn't anything mind blowing but it was still my Christmas you know? We did the same things we do every year. Eat far too much food, sleep on the sofa and watch trashy Christmas TV. I spent it with my favourite people in the world so it was special.Just noticed a random shoe on the floor haha!

This is my christmas day outfit. It nice to get a little dressed up on Christmas day!

Outfit:

Black Body: Topshop

Black Cardigan: Next

Pleated leopard print skirt: River Island

Pearl bracelet: Thomas Sabo

Red Watch: Toywatch

Pearl necklace: Topshop
Tights: Marks and Spencers

Now River Island is a shop I tend to stay away from, its far to gaudy and dare I say Chavvy for my tastes. But I popped in there on Christmas Eve to buy a hat for my boy and was pleasently surprised by their sale. I brought this gorgeous leopard print skirt for a tenner and a grey tweed shirt for £15. The skirt was perfect for Christmas day because it had a elastic waist so I had enough room for the copious amounts of food I consumed.

My beautiful bright red Toywatch was a present from my boyfriend, he did so well didn't he? Hes a babe! Although I have to say that they fact he brought me a zebra print snuggie pretty much made my christmas. It was without a doubt the best present I recieved. I spent all day in it on the sofa yesterday!

The Thomas Sabo bracelet was a gift from my Uncle and mu parents brought me a "s" charm to go with it. Pearls are my favourite so I am very pleased with it!

I am waiting for my dad to do a massive fry up and then am off out to the boyfriends nans to eat more food and then onto my nans to continue eating and making myself look silly on the Wii.

I hope you all had a lovely day :)

You cheap lousy faggot

My beehives are getting better! Ive tried to show it best I can!

Outfit:

Lace top: Next

Pleated skirt: Primark

Frill shoes: New Look

Tights: Primark

Coat: Next

Bag: Charity shop

Nail Varnish: Barry M

These are my purchases today, I finally got my hands on the Barry M crackle nail varnish, Boots had always sold out! In fact they had sold out today but I had a cheeky look in the drawer underneath with all the stock in and found one! I have no idea what colour to wear it with though. I brought another nail varnish so I could get the free lipgloss. The raspberry shade might be my new favourite! Im a bit disppointed with the lip gloss though, it looks such a vibrant shade but comes out so sheer. Glad I didn't pay for it!

Im off out now to meet up with all my lovelies who are back from Uni for a slap up three course christmas meal in a local pub. Well as slap up as £10.50 can be :)

I hope everyone has a fantastic christmas!

Music Monday - Do it like a dude

Jessie J

Jessie J is someone who I cannot stop listening to at the miniute. I only found her a few weeks ago after seeing her on the Jools Holland show. She is out of this world. She has so much attitude and swagger, I want to be her! Her voice has so much soul and she deserves to be going places in my opinion. I am dying to get tickets to see her live.

She must be good if shes being hailed by Justin Timberlake as "the best singer in the world right now." Hes a massive mover and shaker in the music business. She had been a songwriter for the past four years before she went into releasing her own material. She won the Critics Choice award this year at the BRITs.

This was orginally written for Rihanna but she decided to release it herself. I can totally see Rihanna singing a song like this. This is the explicit version, just thought id warn you in case you got offended :)

Vampire Love

Now I know vampire are not really anything to do with fashion unless you have a thing for fangs. I was planning on doing an outfit post but after walking home from work I really cannot be bothered to get out of my tracksuit and am quite happy with looking like Waynetta Slob. I am bloody freezing!

Since handing my coursework in, I have been obssessed with True Blood. I had been after another vampire style thing to get into after being sucked into Twilight. My friend lent me the first series and since watching them during the week I have become hooked. I need to own the books.

They are extremely sexy, so sexy in fact I felt like I was intruding and had to look away. I felt my inner prude coming out. I must admit sometimes Snookie grates on me a little but I can overlook that. I have only watched the first four eposides but already now its a television show that I will be making sure I own on DVD. I feel like im going to have a massive crush on Bill Crompton. Edward Cullen who?

Anyone else watch it?

The snow is insane here, we didnt really have any when it first hit the country but boy are we making up for it now! Its at least 4 inches and it suppose to continue snowing until 9pm so it will be extremely fun trying to get into work tomorrow morning!

Velvet

Now I love Velvet, I bust out the velvet dress every christmas. Once Ive got it on I know that Christmas is only round the corner. However not very many people share my love for velvet and I cannot for the life of me understand.
Especially where there are velvet beauties like this:

I think I might have let out an internal squeal when I saw this in Look magazine. How beautiful is that statement shoulder? It goes perfectly with her hair and the pale skin really sets it off. It just screams Christmas party at me! I think its the best dress i've ever seen Nicola Roberts wear and she always looks stunning. I have no idea where it is from, any ideas? I need to know if it is within my budget!

Image taken from the Daily Mail website.

Here are a few velvet beauties that really are prefection.

TBA - £105. (In the sale believe it or not!)

French Connection - £95

Asos - £12 (Im in love with crushed velvet!)

Asos - £6 (Id feel like Lady Gaga!)

I've handed all my work in now so I can now relax until the New Year and look forward to my work experience at Nuts! Magazine at the end of next month. Im rather excited about that. Ill be working right next to the Tate and will be able to go to Borough Market in my lunch hour so life will be good!

You stood out like a sore thumb

Quick outfit post, this is what I wore to Uni today. I could not be bothered to do my face so I wore my glasses. Still not keen on having my picture taking whilst in glasses. Please excuse the extremely cluttered room, I realise this makes me look like a slob ha which would of course be true but shhhhhh.


Outfit:
Cardigan: Next
Top: Topshop
Skirt: Primark
Tights: Primark
Watch: Next
Brogues: Primark

I am feeling extremely smug today. I have completely all my uni coursework, bar the contents page and one research website because my printer at home is rubbish, and the deadline is not even until tomorrow. This time last year I was still frantically doing work at 4.55 so I have learnt my lesson. I cannot wait till stroll into uni at my leisure and hand in my work. All I have to worry about is making myself look beautiful for that evening as we are all going out to celebrate. Im dreading work the next day, ive got to get up at silly o'clock while extremely hungover and get a hour long bus journey into work. I could of course be sensible and not drink but really where's the fun in that?


I am now going to paint my nails pretty colours and snuggle under a throw to finally watch the first series of True Blood (I've borrowed the copy of my friend in the summer!) and wait for the boy to come round.

Music Monday - Well there's only so much drama I can stand

We are Scientists

These are another my of my favourite bands. Although I always shamefully seem to forget about them. Im listening to Itunes doing coursework, all be over soon thankfully, and they came on shuffle. I got all excited and made sure I played their albums back to front. I listen to them non stop for a few weeks then my fickleness comes out and I move onto another band and they are forgotten about once again. The cycle continues.
Ive been to see them three times and they have been absolutely amazing. They have such a good banter on stage and its so funny to watch. I like a band to include the audience in the set, Brandon Flowers dissapointed me because he did not talk to the crowd. Its nice to feel involved with the band and feel like they actually want to be there. We are Scientists really know how to get a crowd going.

They really are worth a listen. "Nobody move, nobody get hurt" is my favourite and you can't help singing along loudly to it.

The fact that one of the band members is called Keith Murray always makes me chuckle. Can you get a less rock star name? Dont let the name fool you though he is hot! Very easy on the eye haha!

I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

I love the sleeves on this dress. The little frills are so cute!

I finally got a full outfit shot, I roped my boyfriend into it (not without him moaning though). This is what i wore when i went out for noodles with the jazzacise group. Ive been very bad though not really been for the last two weeks, im not one for venturing out in the cold!

Outfit:

Dress: Primark

Coat: Next

Black wedges: New looks

Bag: Gift

Tights: Primark

Cameo Earrings: Topshop

Nail Varnish: Rimmel

Lipstick: Rimmel

This is the first time ive tried red lipstick. I love red lipstick, it just provokes old hollywood glamour. I have a fetish for red nails and lips. I quite like it but I think I can find a better red. I might invest in a MAC lipstick. Im starting to prefer lipstick over gloss now. Anyone got a red lipstick that they reconmend?

This may be my new favourite dress. I spotted it the other whilst browsing Primark trying to waste time before work which is never a good idea. They only have two sizes and one was in my size so it must be fate. I snapped it up and stayed in that weekend haha! It is rather short and I could never go bare legged in it. But it has a pussy bow and polka dots so its a win win!

I also invested in some bumpits. I tried to make a mini beehive. It came out ok but I think I need to allow myself some more time. It was kinda rushed. I might try and prefect it once ive finish my coursework

Fashion Icon Friday

Camilla Belle

Camilla Belle is an American actress and frequently tops the best dress lists. Her most famous role to date was in Push, a Sci-fi thriller staring Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans. She isn't yet that well known as an actress.

I must admit i've yet to see any of her films and only know about her due to the sheer amount of magazines that I read. I spend a fortune. But she always look so lovely. Shes not groundbreaking in what she wears but she always seems to look classy, no matter how much leg she has on show. Ive not yet seen a photo where I didnt like her outfit. Her style seems to be quite girly and feminine which in my opinion is what being a girl is all about. I like to fluff myself up sometimes.This Jason Wu dress is amazing. I read somewhere that it was custom made especially for her to wear at the annual Met Ball. What I wouldn't give for someone to make me a dress as beautiful as this. A ticket to the Met wouldnt go amiss either! I love the way she blends into the red carpet yet stands out. The fact that its off the shoulder adds a little sexiness to it and stops it from being boring. I love everything about this look, the up do, clutch and earings just seem to look effortless.

Christmastime mistletoe and wine

We put our Christmas tree up at the weekend. Its massive, my dad must have picked the fattest one in the shop. I just love the smell of them, gets me in a festive mood. There is just something special about a real Christmas tree isn't there? I wasn't really that fussed about the big day until we put the tree up and now I can see all the presents its getting me excited!
I have actually been really good so far, usually I have a feel of all my presents, Im not one for surprises! But Ive managed to stay away. There just seems to many for me too look through and I can't be bothered!
I can tell its Christmas too by my cold i've come down with. My sinus' always make a special appearance at this time of year and its always a week before deadline day which is terrfic. Im not too worried about handing my work, Ive actually been quite organised this year and have done most of it, just waiting for lecturers to hand back the drafts so I can correct whatever needs doing which hopefully wont be too much! Im trying to motivate myself to complete my reflective essay today while eating a pile of chocolate that my brownies brought me.

Haha you can see a bit of my reflection in that decoration!

This is the extent of Christmas decorations in my room. It used to be my Grandads and sings wiggling it bum when it has batteries in it! My room is not very festive looking! Although I have spotted a cloth Merry Christmas vintage style banner in Next that I fancy stringing from the shelves. I might treat myself, will only work out £7.50 with discount.

Once again thank you to all the new followers. I still cant believe that eight people are interested in what I do. Big hug to everyone!

Music Monday - Your like a Journalist, the way you cut and paste and twist

I know this is not fashion but a lot of fashion is influenced by music non?

Anyway im going to feature a new band ive discovered, a guilty pleasure or just one of my favourite bands that I can listen to over and over again every Monday.

First up is one of my all time favourites:

The Libertines

I know there has been a lot of negative press about Peter Doherty, to be honest most of the time he deserves it, and this overshadows the band. There was a time where I would defend him to death but now hes had two many second chances. Lots of people already have their opinions made up about "druggy pete" but they should forget all that and just listen to the music. He is an amazing songwriter and some lyrics are just divine. "There are fewer more distressing sights than that of an Englishman in a Baseball cap" ranks right at the top of my list.

After listening to both albums on repeat and trawling the internet for demos and EPs, I finally got the chance to see them live at Reading this summer after 6 years of waiting. Oh it was an emotional time. I stood watching them with a lump in my throat, loving the interaction between Pete and Carl. The twosome were finally back together again.
Thanks to Meg I can now attach a video :) Enjoy, here is up the Bracket. One of my favourites.

I really want one of those red military jackets.

Tis the season to be jolly

It was the work christmas do last night and it was a free bar, So naturally I took full advantage if this, so much so that my manager commented on me drinking the bar dry. Well Im a student so im all over free things. It was a brilliant night, we went to a Greek restaurant in town. I must have spent the whole time on the dance floor according to the photos posted on facebook. I never realised what silly faces I pull while dancing!

Anyway I wore my beloved leather shorts out. I was more excited about wearing these for the first time than I was the fact I was going out intially haha! They are my new favourite things and im already putting together outfits that I can wear next time im invited out that include the beauties.

Ive tried to show you the pussy bow in the blouse but its not turned out too successful!

Horseshoe Blouse: Primark

Leather Shorts: Topshop

Tights: Primark

Shoes: New Look

Charm bracelet: Links of London

Nail Varnish: Rimmel

I havent got a picture of my shoes because I was taking it from a funny angle they all looked like I has thunder thighs! But I wore my black wedges from New Look that I have featured a few posts down.

1 Christmas party down and 4 to go!
