New Bomber Jacket OOTD

This is my beloved new bomber.


And you might not guess where it's from ... Primark!
What a steal, £15.

I got a larger size because I wanted it to appear oversized and hang well, I love the Sports Luxe trend and although some of the 90's come back fashion makes me sick, these are one piece I agree with! I think the delicate Japanese illustration tones it down and makes it more feminine too.

They had some really nice Silky high waist shorts that matched really well too, but I was sensible and left them behind! I love the sleeves rolled up and am wearing it with a Cameo Rose blouse here, and my new high tops from New Looks 915 section!

This bomber will be perfect for these 'can't make its mind up' weather days. 

 

New Accessories

I have wanted an oversized White envelope clutch bag for a while, and this was mine the second I saw it. It was just £6 from Primark, along with this Pastel chain necklace from there for £5. I have styled them together on a few nights out. I love summer Whites.

Can you see me?!

Me and my two close friends have been crazy with our Final Major Project work, I helped my friend Caroline out this week for her Trend Forecasting website. Here's one of the looks below! It took a few hours to paint me, mind!

 

Summer Sandals

And since my last post, I have worn my sandals out a few times. They are SO comfy, it makes me wonder why I wear boots a lot of the time!

Location Shoot 

At the beginning of this week I went ahead with my Jungle Gym Location shoot for 'Pins' despite the weather... Luckily, we pulled it off even though the weather was horrific. The rain suited the shoot and we ended up having a laugh! Here's a couple of images from the shoot, thanks to my make up artist Vicky for the gorgeous Dewy look, and lovely model, Anna, for coming out in the rain!!! Also a big thanks to my friend Caroline for holding the brollies!

Here's the make up and hair (before we left and got drenched)

This Thursday I will be doing my Kitsch trend shoot at the docks, so will update with more images soon!

Location Shoot Plan and New Hair!

I've been so busy the last few weeks! I've been offered lots of hours at work, which means I have been getting slightly behind on uni work and have meanwhile been planning my location shoot for my Final Major Project for the last few weeks!

I have two beautiful new models lined up and hopefully a make up artist, with the same trends as before- 'Tide of kitsch' and 'Jungle Gym'.

I plan to shoot one model at Southampton docks, this below was a test (bad quality as my phone camera..) with my friend Ellen to see the best angle! Obviously I will use my SLR and hope the weather is better so the lighting is improved! I plan to shoot the other model in the park in front of the palm trees which works perfectly for my Jungle themed trend.

These are the outfits as planned below! I love these formal joggers (£35) from Topshop, most probably going on my birthday wish list!... Only three weeks until I'm 22 :o 

I have needed to update my Spring Summer wardrobe, with the excuse that I need work clothes, and 2 of my favourite pairs of 'wear all the time' shoes have fallen apart in the last week! So I had a slight splurge in town yesterday.... So I will be posting new outfits in the next few weeks :)

My fave buys have to be these New Look glad sandals, only £10 with my discount... They are ridiculously comfy!

OOTD

This is me before my evening/ night shift at work yesterday. I am wearing my comfy oversized ASOS boyfriend Tee, New Look Blazer and New Look Tall leggings (VERY good quality!) I am also wearing my Vintage Lilac bag that I found in a charity shop a while back. To jazz it up a bit while the store was still open I wore my thick link Gold Chain Necklace from Primark.

New Hairrrr

So I took the plunge, as well as getting my roots done I also had some bleach strips put in my under layers in order to put in some pastel tones! Couldn't be happier and would recommend Justice For Hair in Southampton's Bedford Place to everyone! My hairdresser Rosie is so lovely.

Above is an insta shot when I got back from the salon.

Pulling a silly faceeee.

I'm so happy with it! It is a lilac ashy colour and still quite subtle, and I want to add in some Rose bleach as well onto the ends so the curls change colours!

Camping & Majorca Prep!

I can't belieeeve it's September.

Anyone else feel like the year has been stolen away from them?!

I suppose I'm a lucky one, I'm going on a last min holiday to Majorca, 'Mallorca Rocks' on Saturday with my friend Caroline for a week. Super excited as we booked it last minute through Teletext!

I had a lovely mini holiday with my dad and some friends in The New Forest a few weeks back, here's my first day camping outfit, looking a little tidier than when we left! It's beautiful there and only about a half hour drive from Southampton.

I have bought a few little bits lately on my discount as I've been saving, including this gorgeous short black kimono from New Look with my discount. It looks really cool dressed with jeans or shorts as so in the day, but I am looking forward to wearing it in the evenings on holiday too. As well as customers noticing, I have also seen an exact same version in Topshop for around twice the price! Grab it while you can...

Tassled Lace Kimono £19.99 New Look

90's Glitter Vest  Primark £9

Shorts -  DIY- Old cut shorts rolled at bottom, & shredded pockets myself

Fish Bone Necklace Zara Sale £8.99
I Phone Cat Case £4.99 New Look

I am also getting really excited for my last Freshers after I'm back from my internship at the end of September, as I'll be able to go to all the best nights now seen as I've been saving a little! And get to see all my lovely friends again that have been home far away for summer. I can see a terrible little shopping spree coming when our loans come in :S

For those that haven't already,check out Fashion Union.

I just bought this amazing Tartan bodycon midi skirt for a bargain £8! I have seen one just like it in Topshop for £22! And at the moment they are offering free standard delivery in September on order over £10. I am hoping this arrives before I leave for my holiday on Saturday! As you may have noticed.. I am already obsessing over Tartan. 

Fashion Union £8

If you sign up to their newsletter you also get a further 10% off! Can't argue with that...

 I have also bought these skinny jeans, I love the wash and fit and think they'll be super comfy at work in the coming Autumn months. I am not a big jean lover but am determined to start being..surviving in tights may not work much longer now the winters drop so much!

£22.99 New Look

I have for ages been searching for an affordable tote, big enough to hold all my tons of bag rubbish, that is plain enough to match all outfits. And I finally found it! In Zara, for £19.99! They are selling fast so get yours quick if you love it like I do!

 I've been really struggling to find bikinis

as retailers are so set on getting in their Autumn and Winter wear so early! I don't blame them, but it makes it harder for us who still have late holidays. I scouted around, and managed to bag this cool high waisted black bikini from New Look, and also scouted ASOS and found this gorgeous Red bikini. I do find it trickier having a bigger 'chest' finding pretty bikinis, they tend to be very boring without pattern! There is definitely a bit of a gap in the market for affordable fashionable bikinis for girls with bigger boobies!

Bottoms £6 Sale New Look

Here's a cute kiwi that might make your day a little brighter!

What I Wore

OOTN 03/09

My wardrobe is slowly turning darker, and is it sad that I'm excited by all the woolly jumpers appearing?!

I love Summer, and loathe winter, but the rubbish weather does have it perks of layering up and staying snuggly! I have never been one to love being half naked in nothing but shorts and crop tops in Summer.

This is what I wore on a girls night out last night, I love this midi skirt still and it is so versatile. I just bought this gorgeous green cami from New Look.

Cami New Look £9.99

Midi Skirt H&M £7.99

Fish Bone Necklace Zara Sale £8.99

I wore my gorge chunky grungy military boots to complete my 90's grunge inspired outfit, and wore my hair a little cray! (In all honesty I couldn't be bothered to wash it and thought it looked quite cool all scruffed up with the outfit)

Boots New Look £29.99

LIP TIP

I've learnt a brilliant tip on how to get the on trend lip look

'worn, stained, blurred & bleeding'

Blend foundation or concealer into the outline of the lips and then with a small eyeshadow brush carefully blend and dab lipstick on to the lips. Blend carefully into the outlines, meeting the foundation to create a subtle blurred line. Do not use too much lippy, this will create a more bruised effect! I love it! I find this looks best and most effective with darker lipstick.

Thanks for reading!

Checks and Stripes Mish Mash

I am super excited about all these tartans and checks coming back in, and clashing colour ways makes it even more exciting! And also very excited about all the bold animal prints returning (with in mind not overdoing it...)

In Brighton a month or two back, I picked up this Red Tartan oversized shirt from a street vintage shop for a bargain £5, and cannot wait to wear it! (The problem being it is still too hot to!)

So for now I am thinking I might just settle with these lovely cute little Tartan socks (£1.99 New Look) under my new grungy cut out boots from work too! £59.99. 

This is an outfit from work the other day, I love this little check monochrome skirt - £10 in the New Look sale. I decided to make it more casual by wearing this boxy green boyfriend crop top from River Island, £10. I don't think Monochrome has seen its last days just yet!

And here's some stripes too!

Zebra Print Blouse -  £12.99 H&M

Shell Necklace  - £7 Accessorize

Stud Tote Bag - £17.99 New Look

Sunglasses - £3.99 New Look
