New Years Eve Outfit Wishlist

Everyone excited for new years eve? I want to wear all of these outfits...

Definitely the most casj of the three, but I don't tend to dress up that much for nights out anyways, and the big NYE isn't really an exception. How perf is the oversized moon choker and shell bag? I love the metallic dress - I think this would be good for a more laid back night but it's still got a bit of spark. Would be perfect for summer as well.

I lovvveeeee the snake print leggings so much, omg. Can you believe they are only £22 from Topshop. I find Topshop so overpriced for the, let's be honest, shite quality, but they do have some random normally priced things like those leggings. I definitely would have expected those to be a little dearer. And the Unif shoes... All the 'rock chick' vibes in this outfit.

Can you see a theme of metallic going through these outfits? This is definitely my fave outfit - everything in it gives me love heart eyes. The sequin top is basically everything, and how cute are those pom pom hair clips? Topshop have so many different variations pom pom hair things in at the moments, definitely going to have to pick some up soon.

INSTA WEEK #49

Christmas is over for another year, I'm not gonna lie, I didn't feel Christmassy at all this year, but I did have a good couple of days.

Has anyone else tried the Bleach London Rose Shampoo before? I'm literally so disappointed, it did absolutely nothing to my hair! I'm not sure if it's because my hair is naturally blonde and not lightened and that's why it didn't work, but should that even make a difference? The second time I used it I left it on for well over the time the bottle told me too, and nothing - not even a teeny hint of pink.

Duster Coat - Primark (Old)

Metallica Tee - Urban Outfitters (Old)

Jeans - Charity Shop

Stan Smiths - Schuh

Aren't oversized clothes the best? So comfy and they just look effortlessly cool. I think these mom jeans are probably one of my best charity shop finds. Yeah, they're massively too big round the waist, but that's nothing a belt won't sort out. I always think that belts add a little something to an outfit anyway, I usually put one on just to pull the outfit together more than anything else.

The duster coat was a Primark buy from last year, and tbh, I really didn't like it at the time. I kinda bought it because of the whole duster hype thing, but decided it was way too oversized for my liking and never really wore it. Gotta say, I'm loving it this year though so cool with the baggy jeans - gives such a slouchy look.

INSTA WEEK #47 & #48

I haven't posted for almost two weeks, wtf. Tbh, life just got in the way a bit, and I wanted a little break from blogging and social media. I did post some pre-taken Instagram photos (does anyone else do that, or just me???) but other than that no blogging, no twitter, no insta. I feel like with blogging there's also the pressure of making your Twitter and Instagram as high quality as your blog (more so with insta) and I decided I just wanted a break from it all for a bit. I don't even use Twitter much anyway, literally never know what to tweet. Anyway I'm back now, I always miss blogging if I stop for a week or two, so I can never stay away for too long. Got loads of posts planned for the next few weeks as well.

The Harness Bra

Coat - Primark

Top - Urban Outfitters

Harness Bra - Etsy

Skirt - New Look (Old)

Shoes - Topshop (Old)

Fishnets - Primark

I really into low cut tops at the moment, so I was well pleased when I spotted this one in the Urban Outfitters sale for a measly tenner. Of course it had to be paired with the harness bra - I really want to get my hands on a proper harness though, they look so cool.

INSTA WEEK #46

How has the weekend gone already? *crying emoji's*.

Meet Millie

This is Millie, the newest addition to the cat clan in my house. We re-homed her as her previous owner could no longer look after her. Look at all that fluff *heart eye emoji's*.

I thought that I would jump on the pet post bandwagon as, I'm not gonna lie, I do enjoy reading posts about (and looking at photos of) other peoples pets. Millie's cuteness levels are a solid 10 as well - I know everyone is biased to their own pet's cuteness, but just look at that chubby face. I feel like I'm leaving Tao & Yugi (my other two cats) out a bit, but the novelty of getting a new kitty cat hasn't warn off yet, and everybody has to know. Soz Tao and Yugz, your post will come.

I also apologise for the not so great photos, apparently I am not skilled in the area of cat photography...

Her past times include carpet clawing, sitting on top of shelves and cupboards of which she is not allowed (both to my mum's dismay!) and playing with Tao's green mouse.

Low Bun

*Roll Neck Jumper - The Vintage Kilo Sale

Skirt - Charity Shop

Fringed Leather Jacket - Vintage

*Boots - New Look

My latest hair-related discovery is the low bun, and I've been loving it recently. The messy kind of course - bits of hair left out and the rest of the hair messily tied up. I've been getting a little bored of putting it all up on the top of my head when I want it out of my face, so I'm glad I've found a brand new way.

I've also rediscovered fishnets. Probably not the best time of the year for that rediscovery seeing as the temperature is getting annoyingly cold now, but I think I can get away with wearing them out for at least two more weeks. What d'ya reckon? I think they look pretty cool with the distressed denim skirt and white boots.

INSTA WEEK #45

Today is a good day. Today is the last day I ever have to work in customer service again. Ever. I'm starting my new job next week, which I am excited about, but also nervous because this is literally the first 'proper' job I've ever had, like Monday to Friday, no serving customers (woop). I'm also excited to not have to worry about money for the first time in like 5 years - still gotta pay the damn overdraft off, but luckily Barclay's give you two years to get that sorted.

Cosy Lace Up

Tailored Coat - Primark

Lace Up Body - Boohoo

Velvet Joni Jeans - Topshop

Scarf - Primark

Shoes - Topshop (Old)

Definitely the most wintery outfit I've uploaded since the cold has hit, but one of my faves for sure. I try and avoid wearing coats and scarves and all things winter for as long as possible (I'm still not over summer), but I think this cosy blanket scarf from Primark finishes off the all black outfit perfectly. I feel like this is the scarf everyone is going to have this year, like last year it was that red check blanket scarf from Primark (although I never got my hands on that one!). This thing is so soft as well, I feel like I'm going to live in it.

I think I've mentioned how on point Primark's coat selection is before, but go and check it out if you haven't already! This tailored coat comes with a detachable fur collar, which I usually wear, but I felt like trading it in for the scarf in this outfit. I feel like this is one of those outfits that can easily be worn in both the day and for a night out - gotta love those.
