too many new purchases.

Yesterday i decided it was about time to do some christmas shopping, however after buying lots of gifts for family members i felt as though it was time to treat myself. All was going well as i was walking away from the H&M till only having spent £17 on myself - purchasing a cardigan and rings, when i stumbled across a wonderful cream blouse. I've been lusting after an oversized cream blouse for so long and this one is perfect. It did set me back another £15 though, urgh drama. Excited to give it an outing though!

sob.

My new Topshop beautiful boots have broken. disaster! i'm actually close to tears. the only thing that is cheering me is the thought that maybe Toppers have some new boot styles in? desp for some wedge extremely high boots. previosuly there have been none that were upto scratch, so fingers crossed.

Almost Famous.

The time has come to talk almost famous. In pretty much every blog post i've ever done i have been wearing this beaded waistcoat, which has become a legend in it's own right within my social circle. The waistcoat itself is actually referred to as 'almost famous' (that's right, we have named the waistcoat). It's name comes from the film released in 2000, directed by Cameron Crowe who happens to be one of my favourite directors of all time. We believe the waistcoat is something that would be worn by the leading lady, Miss Penny Lane, my ultimate style icon. So i just thought it was time to give you the story of 'almost famous' and why it crops up so often in blog posts. Basically it is a little vintage gem, the price was an absolute steal and it is just the most amazing waistcoat i have ever owned. I love you almost famous!

I cannot believe I haven't blogged in nearly a month! How time has flown by, good job i have no avid followers.
November has been a whirlwind of work, trips home, not enough going out, too much chocolate and tea, several tradgedies and a less than equal amount of triumphs. Here's to the what remains of December being a much more enjoyable month. Some recent/not so recent outfits for your viewing pleasure:


Julien McDonald coat, Topshop dress, vintage bag.

American Apparel bodysuit (as previosuly mentioned as a very lusted after piece!), Topshop shorts, Topshop boots, vintage jewellery.

New Look dress (mesh, velvet, lace and backless all in one = amazing!), Topshop and vintage jewellery.

lost in the hills?

Why do lots of different channels play all different seasons of The Hills at the same time? It drives me crazy! I feel like i'm in some kind of space time continum? Aaaarrrgghh!

So i'm seriously becoming a little obsessed with mesh. Mesh mesh mesh mesh mesh. Black mesh to be precise. Someone buy me mesh goodies?

busy busy bee.

What a busy stressful/fun week! I'm literally exhausted. Spent the first half of the week rushing around and going crazy about a presentation that was in on Thursday. It went kind of ok. Gave myself a little break mid week by going out for a meal for my friend's birthday to Strada, i'd never been there before and wasn't partically jumping for joy over it. It was nice to see some of the girls though.
By Thursday evening i was desperate to let my hair down properly so we headed out again for the second round of celebrations for Ezza's birthday. We hit Varsity and then Gatecrasher, was such a good night! Felt so good not to be worrying about work, it all starts again on Monday though. I love my degree but it's so stressful!
Friday brought another friends birthday, she had a party at a bar in town. I was already feeling alittle worse for wear but i manned up and did the job! Ended up being another really fun night which ended with chicken & chips with the housemates at silly a.m. Fabulous end to a busy week but I'm so excited to be having a night in right now!

ps. my lovely boyfriend bought me such a nice cardy from Zara when he visited this week, i thought i'd had my fashion fix until i hit American Apparel yesterday and spied the nicest mesh black number! LUST!

Spent the weekend in the big smoke. Family outing and all that jazz! Went to see Hairspray, not amazing but kinda fun. Were late for our reservations at the Waldorf but finally made it and had a really lovely night. However, i feel like i spent most of my weekend in service stations and rushing around on tubes! I never thought i could have too many costa's, but apparently...
