Okay so i was saving up for this lovely fur coat out of Topshop when i happened to come across this baby in one of my local charity shops for 4 pounds – its safe to say i got a tad excited!

Now when i compare them i actually think this waistcoat is ten times nicer than the other one. But why would anyone give this up in the first place?!
Well to save me some money i suppose… :D

This is me and my sister in Manchester, we are like two peas in a pod me and her!

So a funny thing happened that day…..i was running (we were late) out of primarni in Piccadilly Gardens when this lovely lovely girl stopped me and told me she was a model scout and wondered if i would be interested in doing some modelling! I was like, “Are you sure?”
We got into this big in depth conversation about tassel dresses and how when she brought hers to the dry cleaners, all the tassels melted so she had to get a new one ….... so yeah – the moral of the story –

Don’t bring your tassel dresses to the dry cleaners!

Me in a club in Manchester last weekend. I’m loving my knee highs at the moment, they are having a revival with me.

I call this my apron dress – doesnt it look like one?! It was the only one left in the shop and its an XL size, so i just added a belt and you would never know! well hopefully…

This is one of my favourite bags and last month the handle broke :( i couldnt face giving it up so i attached the strap to a different and completely random part of the bag and ive found i actually like it better this way!

Man, I feel so out of touch of the chictopia world! I’m going to try my hardest to start uploading again on a regular basis – ive no excuses – im just a lazy ass!

I finally got me some fringe baby! but you cant really see my bag can you?
Anyways this dress has got an amazing cutout meshy pattern at the top, and the hem has a kind of quilted look to it, kind of like a chanel 2.55. Very cool.

So i bought this lovely mens shirt out of a local charity shop yesterday.
I decided to try and wear it buttoned all the way up a la Lulu and i have to say – i love it this way!
Plus – it keeps you cosy too! Thanks Lulu for the idea! :)

My mum always told me that black doesn’t suit me cause i’m so pale, but i love it so much on other people i wanted to give it a go. I never really wear black apart from the odd accessories!

Wow, i really need my fringe cut.

Black coat: Sister’s
Gingham shirt: Charity shop
Black skirt: ???
Shoe boots: New Look
Red bag: Vintage store in Camden Market

The title is whats been playing on my ipod all day today – the smashing pumpkins.
I found this different version of the original song in a trailer for this new movie coming out soon called “The Watchmen” – anyone seen it? Im tres excited about it!

Heres a glimpse of the bag i crawl to class everyday – surprisingly it fits all my books – plus extra.

The task today was to find an outfit for this shirt that i really havn’t got enough wear out of since i got it. Since its quite dark i tried to pair it with lighter items.

New Resolution: Wear brighter colours!

Dress/Kaftan: Primark
Shirt: Topshop
Scarf: Mum’s
Red belt: H&M
Black pumps: New Look (3 pounds!)
Black buckle bag: Primark
