Got My Glads On

OOTD


This again, is my work outfit for the day! Although, not really New Look .. Shhh! These are my gorgeous new shoes, yeah yeah I have a shoe addiction... They were a bargain £13 in the sale and are new in! I saw them in Marie Claire last week and 'fell instantly'

I love slouchy boyfriend tees at the moment, they make such a statement hanging over peg leg skinny trousers, or with longer skirts and are super duper comfy. I have belted mine in with this woven Primark belt- £1!










H&M Basic Top - £3.99
Topshop Floral Front Buttoned Skirt - Old Season

Unfortunately the heels will have to stay at home today as I have a long shift at work and my feet won't cope! Also apologies for the rushed pictures again- always in a rush for work and don't want to pester my hosuemate!

Work Outfit Of The Day

I'm loving the Brogue and Loafer craze, and these crisp White ones I purchased a few months ago show off my tan nicely! I really love them teamed with this tie-dye midi dress from 'Apricot' also at New Look. Sorry the pictures aren't too great I took them with my Tri-pod in my room in a rush before work!
I'm very wary of wearing midi dresses as I have a curvy figure, but I have had so many compliments from strangers wearing this it's given me a boost!




 New Look Dress - £17.99 - Unavailable online but in some stores

My bag was from Boohoo, months ago! I haven't worn it for a while as the lining tore and I had to sew it up and it took me so long to get around to it! But they have very similar ones on the High-Street again.
Thanks for reading! Becky xXx

Thou shalt have a Fishy...

OOTD



I am off to work later on another BEAUT day! But I am actually happy to be going as the air con has been a life saver. I went to Thorpe Park with a few friends yesterday! It was so much fun, I had been lots of times when I was younger as didn't live too far away. I have definitely become more of a coward with age!

I have been buying a bit more uniform for work, and been sale shopping out and about the last month - a bit too much to be honest.

This is my new favey necklace- £8.99 in the Zara sale. It's so cute and original! It's a cute fish pendant with a fish bone pendant attached.








This is my new dress from New Look, £16.99. I have looked online but they don't have the identical one, but they do have this Blue and Purple version! 




I love how it looks with these new Chelsea Boots, real leather and a bargain £22 in the New Look sale. Originally £69.99! They are Limited Edition. I have been wanting them for so long and they will be perfect in Autumn! I feel awful now, because they seem to have taken them back out the sale so I think there may have been a mistake marking them up :S But here is the link if you still love them!

Holiday Pics, OOTN and Update!


Hello lovelies!

I am ashamed about how long I haven't blogged for, but I have an explanation!

Me and my former flatmates moved into our new house on the first of the month, it was a little stressful as we HATED our last letting agent (Tenants Direct... You've been warned!) 
We didn't have our internet installed until the tenth, and I went on holiday on the twelfth!

My mum took me to Tunisia for the week. We couldn't have asked for better weather it was stunning, not one cloud until the last day when it began to cloud over before we left! Even though we've had our heat wave it wasn't quite the same when our apartment was less than a minutes walk to the beach, and to the pool! I got burnt within the first few days though :( But managed to buy this quirky tie-dye cover up in a local market for less than the equivalent of £10!






Airport Outfit
My River Island Tie-Dye Maxi Dress - £15 (Normally £20) 




I love the two side slits in this dress! Because I have such stupid long legs I find it hard finding maxis that are long enough but this one is perrfffect !


We spent the week relaxing (which was well needed by both I think!) and stroking these gorgeous cats and kittens! We sneakily fed them some sausages every day or so!






Dress - Urban Outfitters

Sunglasses - New Look



This beauty fell asleep on me and kept trying to sit on my shoulders and crawl on my head! 


We also jet skied- I still can't believe I managed to get my mum on one!







These are a few snaps from the holiday! The sea was stunningly clear and I got some gorgeous pictures at dusk.

Skirt - H&M
Flip Flops - Asda

This is where we went into the markets in the local town






Wearing my new vintage head scarf I purchased in Brighton, and looking a tad Red :I


I lived in these flip flops all week, so comfy. They are from Asda for £3, but they always have identical ones in places such as Accessorize. I love the wicker sole.
My toe rings (Purchased from Claire's outlet in Portsmouth) stayed untainted as I coated them in a clear nail polish!

Tousled hair on our last evening when we went out for dinner. It went very light in the sun I love it!

Me and my mum looking slightly shiny on a 'Tunisian special' dinner evening :)


We stayed at the El Mouradi Club, near Enfidha airport in Tunisia. It was on an all inclusive basis and we literally couldn't ask for more, although there weren't too many Brits abroad here! They did cater mainly for Germans, but the waiters were all so friendly. I wouldn't recommend going there without a man though! We were approached so many times, my mum thought it best to have us wear a wedding ring all week so that we weren't approached too much.


After coming back to Southampton and being back at work yesterday, I checked my end of year results and it seems all my hard work paid off! I received a first in my PR unit, and high seconds in my other 2 final units! I was so shocked and feel amazing :)
But I am even more proud of my friend Ellen who has received an internship with Ted Baker's womenswear buying department!
And here's me and Ellen last night before we went out in Southampton with a few girlfriends.



Dress - Old Season Primark
Necklace - New Look

It's been so hot and uncomfortable I just wanted to wear a cooling summer dress! But it was still roasting when we got out.




Thanks for reading! It won't be so long until my next post this time :)

OOTN Midi Me


Ever feel so happy for no particular reason?

I feel lucky to have my friends and family, to be going on holiday so soon, work is great and everything is just looking up! :) CHEESE OVER

Me and a few girlfriends went out last night, it was in the back of my head that it was going to be horribly quiet in town but we had such a good night!

I popped in to town yesterday and got this Zara perfume (which I adore and ran out of ages ago) for a bargain £3.99 per bottle, normally £7.99.



I love sweet perfumes and this smells divine! They have quite a few of their perfumes on sale along with their clothing sale.


Here's last nights outfit...

(I'm rather primarked up, but as its quite basic I think it hopefully looks a bit more class..)






These skirts are perfect for this typically rubbish windy weather - so no worries of the 'AHH MY SKIRTS FLYING UP' moments

This is quite a sophisticated and smart outfit for me! But I love it none the less.

Cami Top - Primark £4
Black Midi Skirt - H&M £7.99 NEW IN
Chain Ring - Primark £1.50
Stud Clutch Bag - New Look £12
Wedge Shoes - Primark £12

Clones

Studying fashion has made me much more aware of the high street, and its radically paced cloning and copying capabilities...

This is a really quick post, with a clone of some office shoes I have been eyeballing up in New Look since the day I started..

I popped in to Office today and have spotted so many similar designs, that have now been cleverly placed in the sales, since their designs have been ripped off by so many other chains!

However, why not take advantage.


Office £65.00

OOTD Monochrome+Biker


 

Afternoon lovelies!

OOTD - BikervsMono
This is by far one of my favourite looks at the moment- it's a 'throw it together' scruffy comfy kinda look that I always tend to stick by.
Sorry for the bad quality photos- I really need to invest in a tripod.. Saying that I am going to do it on ebay now!
Being alone means I have to take awful selfies with my bad HTC, in this dark horrible flat. We move next Sunday I cannot wait! We will have a garden for our final year of uni, and even have a square toilet (still amazes me!)
This is my SWEAR BY basic White roll sleeve boyfriend T, paired just with simple Black leggings (Rolled up) and my Leather Biker jacket, and my cross-body studded bag (perfect for bike ridding as it sits out the way!)
These are also the best quality value leggings I've ever purchased- from Accessorize. They were £12 when I got them about 6 months ago, and I can't imagine the price having altered too much!
Of course- my main reason for loving this outfit is my new shoesies!


 



Tee - ASOS
Leggings - Accessorize
Jacket - New Look
