Where there's music & there's people & they're young & alive

First night out of 2013 - Laura's 20th!

Sorry for the grainy pics, they were taken on my friend's iPod just before we went out so we were in quite a rush. Here I am in the lushest Premier Inn room I've ever stopped in. Okay I don't have a wide experience of bed and breakfasts, but trust, Lenny Henry wasn't lying to us.

Anyways, what on earth am I talking 'bout? Enough about the room. More about the night.

Blurry, sorry

It was a great night - we started off in Brindley Place, drinking wine and mixers in bars and headed up the Broad Street, ready to party. I finally got to Gatecrasher - and it lived up to my expectations. All in all, we had a smashing time and I slept like a baby that night. Unfortunately, the hangover kicked in about two o'clock the next afternoon. I felt like death. So weird, as I didn't feel that drunk at all on the night. Don't you hate how that happens.

Here's all of us having a gay ol' time

Happy Birthday Laura!

Chillin' in the dark

I'm so white.

Hello my little lovelies! Serious flash going on here, it was rather dark. My face is like a ghost's. I've had a somewhat inspiring week at uni, you see, over the holiday I'd been having a crisis about my future. You know the kind; freaking out about what you'll do after the degree - but my lecturers have kind of indirectly made me feel better about things, which is nice ☺

Jack called this picture 'Bot Blasting'  :')

Cardie - H&M, Tee - Red or Dead, Jeans - H&M, Boots - Hypnotic

You may have noticed I have a bobby pin attached to my tee. It might look a tad strange  but I find it one of the most convenient and useful places of keeping them - they are always there if you need them and you need never take them off, I often just shove them in the wash on my tops. Handy, no? :')

U-kiss - Break Time, U-kiss Only one, G-Dragon - Shine a light CD & DVD, SHINee - Hello (signed), United Cube - Hyuna, 4minute, Beast & G.NA, G-Dragon - Shine a Light book

What I've been listening to... ♪

At the moment, I've mainly been cracking out my beloved Kpop. It's cheering me up through the post-summer blues. Here's my collection of Kpop CDs, I haven't bought a new one for quite some time aha. The last one I got was my United Cube CD, which is a compilation of singers and groups from the entertainment agency Cube. My friend and I were lucky enough to see these artists in concert up in London last Christmas, it was truly amazing! I won this signed SHINee album ages ago through Arirang radio competition.

 Don't you think Kpop CDs are so much prettier? You should see the inside of them

Anyways, hope you've had a great weekend ♣

My Princess Gown - Day to Night

This is my perfect Day to Night dress.

I. Adore. This. Dress.

This was definitely one of my best buys of 2011, and perhaps my current favourite dress. A design of Oh My Love, this dress sells for £40 in Topshop, but as part of my (massive) Clothes Show Live haul, I snapped it up for a bargain price of £25. This design really takes the little black dress to new extremes with it's beautiful unusual net train. It makes me feel a princess and when I wear it I just want to slip on some glass slippers and go to a ball :3 I may have to make do with studded stilettos and a nightclub but I still feel like a million dollars.

Another thing that I really love about this dress is the simplicity of it - if we ignore the train and look at the actual garment, it's just a plain black bandeau, which makes it the perfect canvas for crazy accessorizing. I'd layer on chunky silver or gold bangles and a statement necklace.

I decided to wear it with my punky tee to dress it down and I love the outcome, what do you think? Would you wear a unusual and dressy-dress with a casual top for a daytime look? Let me know what you think :)

Today's Look - Wrap me up in chains

There's a first time for everything. Today was the first time I've walked into the boy's toilets by mistake. It was also the first time I wore my latest bargain treasure, my new body chain :3

I find it's best to wear them with a rather plain outfit, like a block colour dress or tee. I'd also like to try wearing it under something, so that only part of the chain, perhaps the part that falls by my hips, is visable for a more subtle look.

Holla to my ladies (and guys) in the UK, how great is this weather right now? Make the most of it, we all know how disappointing English Summer's tend to be :') Having said that, I think I may have a touch of sun stroke ... time for the hat methinks :3

What do you think of body chains?

Today's Look - Lookin' sharp 8)

Another sunny look for an otherwise gloomy Monday at Uni :)

I love my new blouse, it makes my outfit look lovely and smart :3 I'd almost forgotten about these shorts as they've been at Jack's since last Summer. The black and silver on the blouse pick up the colour on my hair scarf, which I think looks nice and keeps the looks clean :3 Honestly, I didn't have time to shave my legs so my Henry Holland's saved me :']
With the help of plasters, I was able to wear my new loafers with this look - yay! I seriously need to get some help in taking pictures, I may have to devise a make-shift tripod, but for now, thanks for bearing with me :)
My mom is constantly saying my clothes are too 'skimpy', so I'm super glad the hot weather seems to be muscling it's way in as my wardrobe is better suited for SS12 xD
 Oh by the way, I'm on the look out for a black maxi skirt to wear with my many crop tops.

An Eventful Day with the Soul Sistar

Very eventful day today - the sun was out so I thought it was time to showcase my new bralet :) I met my soul sistar Alex in Birmingham for a spot of shopping, food and entertainment in the form of The Hunger Games.  There's been so much hype around this film so we wanted to see whether it lived up - it actually did. Made me a bit teary at times :'] I'd recommend it. And by the way, I love the bright colours and funky hairstyles in the film, very shtyyllin' ;D

Before seeing the film, we grabbed some pizza at the Hut ;D Pizza Hut is seriously Pons' and myself's restaurant of choice, we can't get enough of pizza :'] BBQ veggie pizza ftw :3

So yeah, both looking suitably summery :3 Check Alex's blog out now, it's pretty sweet.
Also got some new purchases - a custom made blouse from Topshop and a body chain from Miss Selfridge, in the sale at an amazing three piddly pounds :3 For anyone who is interested, these beautiful cropped blouses came in an array of different colours, but I just couldn't resist the black and silver ;D

Hope you all had a fantastic Saturday!

Today's look - Who wears short shorts ;)

I don't have to go in today because the lesson isn't on (woop woop) so I've treated myself to a Simple Kind to Skin face mask and a laaazy day 8)
I feel like I should be going on a picnic in the park in this outfit, I feel so summery :3 This top, much to my dismay, got washed with a navy duvet and is now adorned with blue splodges.
I think it works, although I was pretty distraught for quite some time :']
The I'm Laddered tights finally make an appearance :) They have yet to ladder yet, but I'm being extra specially careful. Instead of creepers, I thought about opting for my latest shoe splurge; these gorgeous zebra loafers. While they are lovely, they absolutely butcher the back of my ankles, so I can't wear them without at least two plasters :/ I think I'm going to find something to cushion them with, so they won't kill me off :']

Today's Look - You're 'avin' a giraffe

How cute are these Henry Holland leggings? :3 I bought them ermm.. it must have been about two Summers ago but they still have a firm place in my wardrobe. Unfortunately, I have to wear tights underneath them as they show my pants, I constantly have this problem on account of my 'little big bum', as Jack would say :']

I'm not sure why i'm wearing my vest underneath this, but hey ho, I think it works xD

Creepers make an appearance again, with spotty pink socks :3

I actually have a bit of sad news, after working there for nearly three years, the Cannock Claire's Accessories has shut :( It's feels really weird ... but I'll miss my work colleagues lots and lots and wish them luck in the future :)

Also, I've pushed my fringe to the side. Again. I can't help myself :']

Today's look - Spring has nearly sprung

Feelin' incredibly sunny over here ;D The weather's seriously perked up this week, here's hoping it will stay now. I pulled out this little number today, every bit the spring/summer dress. I'm not quite ready to get my legs out so I teamed with Henry Holland's for an edgy look.
As it's never certain which way the weather will turn, I wore a little spotty cardigan under my big cardie. I actually think the spot and the bow prints work well together, but I may be deluded ;) My warm woolly cardie is another gem from The Clothes Show. I love the safety pin and chain details on it and it's so casual and gives my look a slouchy, just-thrown-on look. I like that. (Y)
You may have noticed my AMAH-ZHING watch - Jeremy Scott for Swatch, if you please ;D I love Jeremy Scott so much and was literally over the moon to receive this lightening bolt beauty from my wonderful boyfriend on my 18th birthday last May. I've worn it practically everyday since.

 I was a very lucky girl last year, as you may recall in my post I'm with the band, I got Irregular Choice heels from my lovely lovely best friend Alex :3 I have some pretty amazing people in my life ♥

Today's look - Dolly girl

Just a quick little outfit update :) Sorry for being a bit stingy on posts, a lot's been going down at uni and life in general recently :'] I bought this unusual dress at The Clothes Show in December and this is the first time I've actually worn it shockingly, I guess I just forgot about it :3

I teamed it with a white shirt and plain black tights so as not to draw attention away from the busy pattern on the dress. I particularly like how the shirt sleeves are visible through the cut-out sleeves in the dress. I think the shirt makes it look very smart but the boots keep it looking cool ;D This also works really well with my white creepers, but I have been wearing them so much recently. This is one of my cutesy-er outfits - I think it makes me look like a little dolly :']

It's getting increasingly more difficult to take pictures in my mirror, and as my camera is still at Jack's house somewhere I've had to use my awful phone which has no back, so sorry for that xD I'm still wearing the wristband from last night at Jack's gig and it didn't even come off in the shower, how shameful :'] If I can get a picture from my friend Alex, I will do a post about my latest groupie outfit :) By the way, I don't sleep on a campbed, that was for Alex who stayed last night after the gig :'] (Y) Check her blog here

Hope you like my look, let me know :D

Today's look - Creepin'

Another creepers look! I so adore these shoes, literally wearing them with everything. I had actually planned to wear my white shirt underneath this so that the collars would be seen, but I was staying at Jack's and it was in the wash at home, so it was kind of impossible :'] Oh well, I still think this look works well without out and the chunky creepers give the illusion of super long pins, which is also a plus ;)
Yes, I'm wearing my magic jumper again, it keeps me nice and cosy in the cold weather of February. again, because it's quite slouchy and baggy, I wore it with my safety pin print mini which is pretty tight so it keeps the look clean. And look - sneaky peek of Jack's leg sporting ultra stylish black jeans :']
