"I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it. It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it."

-The Gossip.

Hello!
I knowwww, I'm such an awful blogger but Uni is hectic! Brutally so. I've posted before on the long hours well, I'm kinda getting used to them (apart from the fact I get up and ready in the pitch black) but the workload is HUGE already! I have weekly presentations on top of seminar&lecture work so yes, when I get home I tend to crawl onto the sofa or bed and cabbage out without having to think of anything...bar any work due for the next day.
Alas, do not fear I have been able to take some photos in between the mess and I'm just going to place them all here :) Enjoyyy.

This bag definitely deserves it own little line. It is beautiful, like completely! I have totally fallen in love with it and its far superior and therefore overtook the bag I loved in M&S. Mainly because it was only £2.99 annnnnd it fits EVERYTHING in! Loving it like that!!

I also have some outfit photos ready&waiting which I will post up a bit later but I reallllly want a long bath with candles and music. Ahh, small pleasures are amazing at the minute.
Be back soon my lovelies! xx

My new loot!

Everyone loves a good bargain, whether that bargain be for the poorer or the richer among us! So here are mine and golly am I pleased! (And yes, I said golly. Never done it before not sure I will again...)

 This is the scarf & brooch from the previous post! Both from Primark and well I'm impressed. The scarf is really nice quality! Scarf £4.00, Brooch £2.00.

I love over the knee socks and tend to wear a lot in the autumn/winter time! So these are real bargains and so cute! £1.50 each, Primark.

My final items from Primark! 3 pairs of tights and all in my colours! I generally wear black, brown and white the most so these will definitely fit in!   (L-R 
Denier Sand tights, £2.00, 
Denier Khaki tights, £2.00
Cotton Sand tights, £3.00)

This my friends is from the pound shop, oh yes! Now that is what you call a bargain! I love a bit of Ugly Betty just for the glasses I think!

Also I was talking to my mum the other day about purchasing a faux fur collar to go with my tweed jacket and after a few minutes rummaging in the cupboard she pulled out these beauties!
So there is a straight faux fur leopard print scarf, a faux fur leopard print cape and a brown collar! Lovin' life! She also has a dark pink sheepskin collar but she says I can't have this, mega sad!

Overall, a pretty good haul! Anyone else find any bargains of late? xx

Best Find EVER! (Plus little OOTD)

 Mission to de-clone!
Mum and I, when time permits, like to hit the shops. High street as well as charity. I have always been brought up in a home which in some way or form gives to charity, whether we donate clothes, books or money we have always been involved. On top of this I can always remember when my mum would bring me back a scarf or some item of clothing from one of her trips! I used to go with her when younger but of course as soon as the teens hit I was far 'too cool' to be seen out with the Mother let alone in charity shops! Gosh! Well how the tables have changed, now I am poor but I want new things :) don't we all!

Following on from this I have have come across one of the best finds ever! Not only is it a lovely piece of clothing but it also has quite a history! So here are my new beautiful black&white gingham capri pants! They were only £2.99 and 100% wool!

Alcott & Andrew, after a long time researching, is an a business which originally started in, by what I can see, 1986. They started off working around womens wear as they wanted to revolutionise how women dressed for work! They wanted to cut out the hatred of 'career clothes' and wanted women to be as excited about this set of clothes compared to their going out clothes.  The main mission was de-clone women! Amazing stuff. Apart from the fact I loved these trousers anyway, the story makes them even better! From what I can gather Alcott & Andrews have now evolved into Abercrombie & Fitch. I would love for somebody to actually research this properly and let me know! If anyone does, please email me :)

Today I wore this, seeing as maxi dresses are my new thing (I only wish the sun would come out!) I have started getting into maxi dress/long tube skirts :) win!

Floral top, H&M, £2.99
Maxi/Tube skirt, Primark, £Idonotknow:)
