Just a short outfit post today but I'm in love with this outfit at the moment! A few weeks ago I was really in the mood for a floral shirt that wasn't too bright. After a while browsing, I finally thought to check Topshop and came across this shirt! I bought it from the petite range which isn't something I'd normally do, as I find that Topshop sizes can often be a bit on the small side, but then again I am 5ft 2 and so this shirt ended up fitting perfectly. There aren't many sizes left so grab it fast if you're interested! These shoes are also are recent Topshop buy - I got them for £18 in the January sales, which I think is a great price for Topshop, and I've worn them most days since. I couldn't find them online but just last week I saw a few pairs still hanging around in Topshop Doncaster, so it's likely there's still some in other stores too! The bag here is also my current favourite - after seeing it in the Primark at Meadowhall, not buying it and then regretting it later, I ended up being determined to find it again and then actually getting it from the huge Liverpool store (to put that in perspective - there's around 98 miles between those two stores). I promise I was in Liverpool for other reasons, not just to find this bag - that just happened to be one of many upsides to the trip ;) 

I shot this in York this weekend just gone - hopefully I'll be blogging my photos from there soon!

A quick outfit post featuring the dress that every girl seems to own, alongside my go to fedora and bargain heeled boots from Primark! The weather seems to finally be warming up here in the north of England and I can't wait to not be wearing thick tights and 100+ layers every day just to ensure I don't get pneumonia :)

Looks like I'm finally keeping up with outfit posts for once! This outfit's made up of some of my favourites of my most recent purchases - my staple Primark boots and fishnets, and this gorgeous new H&M dress (plus the exact sort of fedora hat that I've been after for ages!) 

A tip if you're wanting to get this dress - the sizes are very much on the large side. For dresses I'm usually around a size 14 but the one I'm wearing here is a size 8 and is nowhere near too tight for me! 

Let me know what you think - hopefully I'll be keeping up with outfit posts from now on :) 

OOTD: "I Myself Am... Strange & Unusual" • Halloween Edition: Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice)

Hello!

So, apparently not many people know this about me, but dressing up is probably amongst my favourite things... so how could I not love halloween? 

Although I don't actually go out for it, I did decide to put together a quick outfit this year of my favourite goth photographer from my favourite film (aka. Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice). It isn't the best Lydia costume in the world as I mostly put it together from things I already had lying around (and the black wig was £3 off eBay so not the best quality in the world) but I'm glad I finally got around to shooting it regardless!

Dress: Primark | Hat: Topshop | Creepers: Underground | Locket: Vintage | Fishnets: Primark | Rings: Dixi | Wig: eBay

The camera is a 1950's Zenit from my vintage film camera collection - and very Lydia-esque, in my opinion!

and now some words of wisdom from Lydia: 

Hopefully I'll have an excuse to whip out this outfit again at some point!

This week I finally got around to shooting a new ootd! Autumn is my absolute favourite season in terms of fashion (and everything else, to be honest) so I'll hopefully be shooting a lot more autumnal outfit posts while I can. 

OOTD: Back to School • New Look, ASOS, Accessorize, Beauxoxo

Dress: New Look (similar) | Blazer: Primark (similar)

Floral rucksack: Accessorize (similar style) (similar pattern) | Mockingjay pin: Waterstones | Velvet Bow Headband: Beauxoxo

Belt: Vintage | Clock necklace: Vintage

Stone ring: Dixi (similar) | Midi ring: Primark | Brogues: ASOS (similar) | Socks: New Look 

It seems like forever since I've done an outfit post, so I thought it was about time I got around to shooting a new one! I do have an excuse though - I moved house just over a week ago, so what with having the majority of my clothes packed up, having to pack everything else and then unpack it all on the other end, I've not really been able to shoot much for the past month. Now that I'm all settled in at the new house hopefully I'll be able to get back on track!

Make sure to check out Beauxoxo - the shop I got my bow headband from (linked further up). Georgie makes absolutely gorgeous hair accessories and I've had the pleasure of photographing her work a few times now! If you click through to the velvet bow headband link, you'll see lots of my photography on that page as well as beautiful headbands ;) 

I'm going to attempt to shoot another outfit later today for a post next week, but since I didn't actually get out of bed until 12pm today, I won't make any promises on that!

OOTD: Paint it Black • Primark, Cath Kidston, ASOS

Tie-Dye top: Primark | Hat: ASOS (similar) | Celtic heart locket: gifted (similar) 

Bag: Cath Kidston (similar in red) | Suede Creepers: vintage (similar) | Spike bracelet: Forever 21 | Charm bracelet: Pandora 

Engagement & Wedding rings: H Samuel | Other rings: Primark

Black high-waist jeans: Primark 

Can I just take a moment to gush over how much I love this top? It's currently in the Primark sale for £1 so definitely worth snapping up if you see it! 

I've picked up some great finds in the mid-season sales over the past couple of weeks including this top, so I might do a blog post showing them all at some point soon :)

OOTD: Floral & Lace • H&M, Topshop, Forever 21, Primark

Floral jacket: H&M | Heeled sandals: Primark

Feather necklace: Forever 21

Lace detail playsuit: Topshop (shop here) | Black waist belt: Primark

Gem earrings: Primark | Gold nose ring: Afflecks Palace Manchester

I bought this playsuit a couple of months ago from Topshop, and I'm SO glad I did, because I can basically wear it for any occasion - for example, on the day I shot these photos, I'd worn it for a meeting. However, I've also dressed it up for my Mum's 50th, had it be both smart and easy to move in whilst shooting an event, and worn it as the perfect casual and cool outfit for an evening whilst I was in Rhodes! I don't often buy from Topshop anymore (due to being a skint student) but I'm really happy I decided to spend some of my treasured clothes fund on this playsuit. Can't wait to see what else I can pair it up with for another totally different outfit!
