Fashion Friday - flannels

Hey guys, 

 It's been ages since I last posted a "fashion Friday" entry, and seeing as how the exam season is almost over (finishing on Monday, woo!) I figured this would be a perfect type of post to do to get back into regular posting. 

 And today's fashion Friday's topic is flannel print shirts, possibly my favourite wardrobe piece for casual outfits, because it looks great regardless of the outfit. Seriously, I've yet to find something it didn't look good with, jeans, skirts and shorts all look so cute paired with the shirt. My favourite way to wear mine infact, especially my blue shirt, is with my black skater skirt, white crop top and black leggings. 

Or for more formal events, I can tuck it in buttoned up as so:

My point is, they're so diverse, the look good with pretty much anything, and if you haven't already got one, I'd definitely advise buying one!

Friday fashion post (opps!)

So I'm a clutz and didn't realise this was saved to my drafts rather then having been published .-. But, better late then never, fashion Friday post...

 Hey guys! 

  Ok, a I'm sure most you will have seen, in January royals singer Lorde performed at the Grammys and caused a bit of a stir because of her less then perfected nail art.

It was all over facebook and twitter and tumblr for weeks afterwards and although I have to agree I thought her nails were really strange looking and I couldn't place why they looked familiar. But then I realised, they're frost bitten nails. 

  For those of you who have never seen or heard of frost bitten nails, the idea behind it is to make your fingertips resemble that of someone with frost bite using black nail polish around the nail about an inch in to the skin and originates from a gothic/grunge culture. 

  Personally, I quite like them. They're stress-less because you won't have to worry about cleaning up after you're manicure ;) and it's different! I think given the right person and the right context (a grunge fanfic at a party/ gig as opposed to an office worker on the day to day) they work really well.

Fashions on Friday

Hello guys:) 

It's that time of the week again for a fashion post. And this week I wanted to write about my ultimate summer outfit pieces, skater skirts. 

   I absolutely love skater skirts, I own about 8 in different colours and materials. Why do I love them? Well it's simple, they're so adaptable for different occasions and styles. 

   Found this on Google and thought it demonstrated my point perfectly, drawings are not mine. 

I even wear my in winter with leggings and jumpers. Definitely not a piece of my wardrobe I'll be replacing anytime soon.

Fashion Friday- metallic

Hey guys!

Alright-y, so recently I'm sure you'll have noticed or seen that metallic skirts, tops and dresses are on the rise in trend. Which is brilliant, if you're stick thin, but not so flattering if you're even slightly bigger then a perfectly flat stomach build and personally I'm not sold on them. 

Asos: £89.99

Personally, I think for the cost of them they actually look quite cheap and more trashy then classy, not something I favour.

Fashion Friday; a day late!

Hello! 

  This week has been hectic so I didn't have enough time to write a post yesterday so here it is: 

Have any of you seen these new cut out boots that are appearing everywhere? I think I've found my new favourite spring summer item!

  I first really saw and heard about these when a girl in the year above me bought a pair and I have to admit, even I thought they were really weird. But they've grown on me and I'm so so glad that more shops have started selling them, I have a feeling they might replace my dolly shoes for this summer:) 

So what do you think?

Fashion Fridays

Well hello there! So I've decided I'm going to do a fashion post every Friday of something different each time:) 

  So this weeks theme is budgets, something that can be a real pain as a student. I mean it's fine after payday or holidays and birthdays to splurge on some really cute stuff but I really hate those in between periods where you have something coming up, want something new but just haven't got the money. Which is why I love to find some cheap clothes that don't look cheap, you know? 

So these three dresses are my latest bargains, all together costing me just £8! Originally they should have cost me about £47 if I'd bought them at full price and the best part of it? They look good on, are good quality and aren't even second hand (surprisingly for the price). 

My cream and navy dress actually was a little bit more expensive at £15, but still a really good price for how much I love this dress. It's so simple yet elegant and is diverse enough to wear at all sorts of events. I really do love it for all formal and some informal occasions.
