Utterly Unfocused

Top - Primark

Skirt - H&M

Belt - H&M 

Jacket - New Look

Bag - Next 

I was going to take these photos outside today but then I realised it was raining pretty heavily so decided it would be better for everyone if I didn't look like a drowned rat. 

I absolutely adore this snake skin top. It's really tight though and I tried on a couple of sizes and they all seemed to be like that so I think that it might just be that the material doesn't have much give in it. I love this skirt at well as it's a change to my usual tube skirt for school. I like that it isn't figure hugging either because if we're honest, you just don't need that some days. 

I was going to put my denim jacket with this but I wore it yesterday and so wanted to wear something different so I opted for my NL jacket so that it would keep me warm. Although it's been so humid this afternoon I really didn't need it. I want some steady weather please! I love my school bag but it really is on its last legs and is no way big enough for my school folder meaning it doesn't even do up properly and embarrassingly pops open sporadically through the day. 

Hope you're having a lovely day and week so far!

Instagram #3

- Cosmo and Freebies - Breakfast - A quote from Vogue Australia August 2010 - 

- Tripod = Outfit posts - Cheeky tango lid - Decisions! - 

- 2012 coin! - More Vogue Australia - Hair -

I skipped the last two instagram posts because one week I just didn't have any photos to share to be honest and then last week I just couldn't bring myself to use the laptop as it's painfully slow at the moment and freezes and the drop of a hat. But instagram posts are back with renewed patience in my laptop. 

The Vogue Australia 2012 (Aug) pictures might seem a little out of place as I live in the UK and it's 2012 but I was doing research for a school project in a library and had a flick through it and took some snaps for reference so I thought I'd share. 

I've posted a few times this week (twice in one day - eager beaver) which is unfortunately a little unusual for me but I'm hoping to get into regular posting and putting up more outfit posts. I just need to get my act together in the mornings so I have time to take photos without being late for school. 

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Eline from Eline Counts Sheep very sweetly nominated me for the beautiful blogger award. I've never really had anything like this before so thank you very much Eline! I love her blog as well so that's a bonus. 

How did you get the idea of making a blog and what makes you continue it?

I went to the London graduate fashion show a couple of years ago and they gave you a magazine (Fashionista) which had articles written by bloggers. I was reading it and what they were saying sounded really interestig and like something I wanted to get in on. So I started a blog and three blog names later here we are! In terms of what makes me continue it, I'd say it's when people comment or get involved always inspires and encourages you to carry on. I also just love blogging though so I keep going. 

Describe a day in your life:

A day in my life is pretty unexciting right now to be honest. I'm doing my A levels so I'm just in school everyday and then work on weekends. Wild, right?

Best & Worst Collaboration with a blogger?

I've never done any collaborations with bloggers but I'd be up for it! I'm sure none of them would be 'the worst' or even bad though, I think each one would give your blog and readers something different so it's all good!

What does having a blog mean to you?

For me, my blog is like a little comfort. It kind of feels like a cosy warm bed. I really enjoy keeping a blog and reading other peoples so it means quite a lot. 

Now, I'm meant to tag five people but to be honest If you want to do this and answer these questions, then I tag you! I love reading peoples answers to things like this so if you do it please send me the link so I can read it. And I'm sure you're all beautiful so the rules probably aren't being broken!

Denim Jacket - New Look (old)

Shirt - Primark (old)

Skirt - H&M 

This is a very quickly put together post. It's taking longer than it should due to my cave man like laptop but we're getting there! 

I'm wearing this to go for an Indian with my friends. As it's just us girls tonight I wanted to go fairly casual. Normally we go in massive groups (we once had about 21 people - that was a little too much..) and I feel I have to dress up a little more but these girls have seen me looking like all sorts so it's a little less effort. 

The girls will not be surprised to see I've opted for my tube skirt. It is a definite staple item and a play it safe item for me. I chose the floaty top as a strategic move really, I mean I'm going out to eat - I don't need body con there. 

My hair is looking a little crazy because I've had it up in a bun since 9am (now 7pm) but it will probably be poker straight by the time our food arrives because my hair is too heavy to hold any style for too long. 

Anyway, I should be off as I'm meant to be at my friends house in four minutes. I hope you are having a lovely weekend!

Ice Cream Shorts

River Island - £10 (down from £25)

I spied these on the River Island website not so long ago and then snapped them up when I saw them in the sale today. The River Island sale is so good. I don't usually buy much from there but I wanted almost everything I saw in store today! 

Hope your having a lovely week,

Victoria 

Forget the past and move on.

   Shirt - Marks & Spencers (customised collars)

Skirt - H&M

Jumper - Rocha John Rocha (dads)

Bag - Next

Belt - H&M

This is my first outfit post using my new camera tripod! As you can probably tell, I'm still trying to figure out angles and heights and everything else. I have been wanting to post and photograph this outfit since I decorated the collars. I posted about making them here. 


This jumper is so so warm. It was my dads but it shrunk in the wash - it's literally felted. I love the look of the collar with the shirt. Tube skirts (especially black ones) are a definite staple of my wardrobe and I guarantee you will see a lot of them on here. If I have no idea what to wear to school I will bring out the trusty tube skirt and throw any top with it for an easy outfit. I love this bag but it is definitely on its last legs and I don't think it would take a lot of weight but who cares, it looks cute!


 I haven't worn this outfit to school yet. I want to but does anyone ever get a little nervous about wearing an outfit? I will definitely wear it at some point though. I know lots of bloggers only post outfits they've worn that day but I really love this outfit and wanted to share it. If you can post it onto the internet then wearing it to school is no biggie, right. 


I kind of feel like I want to be in Gossip Girl wearing this. I love gossip girl. I'm going to order season 4 to watch over summer. Wild times, I know. 


I hope you like my first camera/tripod combo outfit post and I hope your looking forward to your weekend. Have a good time, even if you are working like me.

Can you feel it too?

At the moment I've noticed that skater dresses are very much dominating the high street right now. Now, I think so many of these dresses are absolutely gorgeous and I long to wear them and look nice. Alas, it is not to be. This type of dress does not flatter my figure at all. It makes me look frumpy on my chest and just highlights my big hips. It looks like this trend isn't going anywhere soon which is not ideal for someone who doesn't suit it. So to reassure myself and anyone else who is having this problem too, I went internet searching to find some that suit my figure. I hope this helps anyone who finds skater style dresses don't suit them either.

For my figure I've found that I need empire lines just cutting beneath the bust and I also prefer thick straps to offer my bust some extra support. I've fallen a little out of love with New Look recently but I ventured back to them (as always, right?) and found myself pleasantly surprised.

While the weather might not be giving us much cause for summery dresses it doesn't mean we can't look around or maybe even purchase for when the sun does come out.

Hope you're having a lovely week!
