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!

Jakwob!

Hey guys! 

  So it feels as though it's been ages since I last post on here, but I've been so busy with exams, I've barely had time to breathe let alone anything else. 

  Today is my final written exam for drama, and to chill out I've been listening to loads of calm songs and a friend of mine suggested the song fade by jakwob and wow. 

  Jakwob is an artist with a sort of drum and bass/dubstep/garage influence. And it's surprisingly really good. I'm personally  not a huge fan of dubstep and drum and bass styled artists, especially if they're heavier on the beat then the vocals, but jakwob isn't like that, the vocals are beautifully done, blended nicely over the bass an rhythm to create a relaxed feel to the track. 

If you haven't heard it before, I'd seriously reccomend listening to it here:) :

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.
