How I'd wear #1

How I'd wear Bambi...

I saw a Givenchy style sweatshirt in primark. I bought it but then couldn't bring myself to wear it, so returned it.

I would never be able to afford the real thing, But here is how I would wear it...
Sweatshirt: Givenchy
Jeans: Paige Verdugo
Black Trousers: Balmain
Printed Joggers: Topshop
Grey Skirt: J.W Anderson
Tartan Skorts: Topshop
Cream Skirt: Carven
Black Boots: Alien
Trainers: New Balance 574
Heels: Topshop
Bag: Michael Kors
Earrings and Midi Rings: Topshop
Red Lipstick: Lancome 
Pink Lipstick: Victoria's Secret

The majority of the above, I also wouldn't be able to afford! ha. However we can all dream of how we would wear these items, especially for inspiration when shopping on the high street and online! 

How would you wear yours?

All Black Everythang

So I wanted this jumper from asos and at the time it was reduced. It was added to the many saved items in my saved bag. I went to purchase it two days later and to my horror it had gone back to the original price. This confused me as it was in the sale, not a promotional offer, and I always know when they are ending, so that I don't miss out. But anyway, not long after, there was email informing me students could get 20% off everything. By this point, I have no money left, so my sister ends up buying it for herself, with my permission of course. hehe. She didn't like it on, and instead of just sending it back, I tried it on and loved it even more in real life than on the website. She let me keep it and I owe her the money. Isn't she just the best!

For my first wear, I decided to wear it with some black leather look trousers, but I will be wearing it with everything. It's so versatile - can't wait to throw it over one of my dresses.





Jumper: asos
Leather look trousers: Ark (old)
Reeboks: schuh 
Earrings: Topshop
Lipstick: Mac - Amplified Up

Have you got yourself a fluffy jumper yet? If not, there are loads on the high street and online, in all the colours you could ask for... it's a must have.

Behind the times

I am just so rubbish at this! I reckon writing more blog posts is going to have to be a new year resolution along with the other stuff I keep forgetting to do or putting off! Like sort my wardrobe out and just organise my life in general!!

Anyway, so what's happened since we last united? ALOT! 

I've been so busy in my job! I said I would go home every other weekend, and only managed it last weekend. That meant that like nearly 3 months had past since I left my home town! Say what! I know, who would have thought I would have let that amount of time pass by! It flew by! I can't believe how quick it's all going. 

Anyway, so part of my job role, is to help set up and open new stores! I had the pleasure on assisting on both our new London stores! The big one - Marble Arch! I love London but have only been a hand full of times. I do vow to live there one day! Getting the tube is quite stressful, but I got the hang of it at the end of my visit. At the very beginning I looked like such a tourist! Ha. 

Back to Marble Arch, it's a big store, it was stressful but I loved it!! To top all of that off, we had Labrinth to do a performance and meet and greet! So some guys came and set up a stage in the back of the shop.







I hate the below photo, I look so chubby and shiny!! But I had to upload it! The girl I'm with is awesome and works for schuh PR! I practically forced her to come in the photo with me! lol. Thanks again Dom!


I have to admit, Labrinth surprised me and was sooooo good live!




The week after, we then opened a store in Canary Wharf. This didn't have an event to launch the opening, however was still fun to be involved in.

Tourist Photo:


Whilst in London this time, I met up with some bessies! Who I hadn't seen in ages. We went for food and drinks, and of course a dance. I miss them!

Drinks:


Dancing: 


The sun hurting our eyes the morning after (lol):


I had my hair cut at Vidal Sassoon, for free :-) as they needed someone with short hair. Although Katie could have warned me of the situation... She said there might be a few students that watch, that was not the case, it was for the 'hair academy' they do. So I was sat on a stage, having my hair cut, being watched. Then the students took photos! Baring in mind, I had been at the shop in Canary Wharf since half 7 in the morning, then rushed around on the tube and in the rain to find &other stories (you cannnot be in London and not go in this shop!) then find the bloody hair salon! Not having time to touch up any of the make up I had left on my face - So I looked an absolute mess! O well, I'll know for next time!

Some shots I thought were cool in the Sassoons:



I won't make this post any longer.
