LDN and Hi-Tops

Top - H&M (but I customised it)

Jacket - New Look
Vest Top - Primark

Shorts - River Island (recent sale)

Hi - Tops - River Island

First off, sorry the photos are at a bit of a dodgy angle. Tripod problems. I had to do these photos really quickly as well, I was running around trying to get them done about five minutes before I had to leave. Excellent time management on my part. 

I'm quite into customising clothes right now. I've done the embellished collars and I've also dip-dyed a t-shirt using Lily's tutorial. So I had this basic top from H&M and decided to write something on it, I originally wanted to use fabric paint but couldn't find any so had to settle for fabric pens. I settled on LDN. I'm not really sure why, but I'm happy with how it turned out. 

I'm sure you guys have heard about the Rihanna x River Island collaboration that is going to happen. I'm pretty excited about it which is quite unlike me. Hopefully Rihanna's style will be really come through in the collection. I know it's probably going to be ridiculously expensive and I will just have to look longingly online but it's still exciting, right? 

Hope you're having a lovely day,

Topshop Shorts

After my recent purchase of these ice cream print shorts from River Island, I have a hankering (really.) for shorts. Even though it definitely isn't the weather right now and I can't wear them as they break our schools dress code, it is only nine days until the summer holidays begin meaning no dress code and hopefully some sun.

Normally, I tend to stay away from the Topshop website because I think it's really quite expensive. However, what with all the sales going on right now I thought it was worth a look. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.

Above are the four pairs I loved the most but there were so many to choose from. There were lots of prints which I absolutely love. I think prints are an easy way to make a statement without having to go too 'out there', for me anyway. The £36 pair was the only pair not in the sale, the others all are which brings a rather attractive price tag. I'm considering buying the bottom right hand pair as they were the first pair I spotted that I really loved and they are reduced! I'm thinking they would be easy to dress up and down so would create a good wear/cost ratio.

What do you think? 

Hope you're having a wonderful week,

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
