So... welcome to my first OOTD of 2018! Woo!

I attempted to start the year looking a little more put together than usual, and I'm sure I would have almost pulled it off, had it not been severely raining during the shoot, thus, resulting in a sort of I'm-nuts-and-awkward-as-hell me instead. However, no hate on the outfit at all, the downfall is all my terrible posing!

Now, for the most part, I'm not typically a jeans/trousers kinda person. In fact, come to think about it, I'm pretty sure this will be my first OOTD featuring jeans! Well, I do love my shorts... 

There is something to be said about a good pair of black skinny jeans, however, in the sense that they are very easy to dress up or down, and as I mentioned at the beginning of this post I was going for a more put together, almost mature look, which is sometimes a bit tricky with shorts.

Do expect the shorts to be back in my next OOTD though! xD

PS.: mind the soft photos, btw; as i said, it was raining, plus we were kind of on a tight schedule, PLUS ama was holding a lot of things (including the umbrella to protect my precious camera!) whilst trying to shoot me being stupid, so yeah... sorry, not sorry?!

Too Sunny to Smile~

Top - Forever 21

Shorts - H&M

Tights - Claire's Accessories

Creepers - everything5pounds.com

In a way, it's kind of ironic how I'm posting this OOTD featuring too much sun, right when all of a sudden there seems to be not enough sun, and to be honest, I'm still deciding which I prefer.

As can be correctly assumed, these photos were taken AGES back when summer was in full swing and when I was struggling a fair bit to dress appropriately, though I don't think I did too badly with this outfit. My favourite item was the top which I got on sale at Forever 21 wayyy back. The material is really light (so super appropriate - finally!) and the criss-cross back detail is just the most awesome thing ever!

Now if only sunny weather wasn't so damn bright and hot...! ><"

I [heart] Camden Town~

Sunglasses - Forever 21

Cut out top - H&M

Denim shorts - River Island (via eBay)

Tights - Primark

Ankle boots - F&F @ Tesco (via eBay)

Photoshop and I will most likely never be friends, but as you can see the relationship is at least somewhat improving. Sort of.

Yesterday (04.07.2013) I was at a gig at one of my favourite venues of ever in one of my favourite parts of London ever, The Underworld in Camden. The place holds many fond memories for me and as I hadn't been there in about 4 years I was super excited about our reunion, but never mind about that for now as I'll be posting my review of the gig in the next couple of days...

I am questioning what possessed me to think that wearing heels on a day where I would have to be standing for about 4 hours was a good idea, and what made me all of a sudden become so brave as to wear a top that is almost see-through, but overall I think the suffering (from both physical pain and embarrassment) was somewhat worth it. Also, with a temperature peak of 24 degrees, the cut out sections were much appreciated in the end!

There's No Place Like Home~

Oh dear. It seems I have fallen one step further to the dark side. So, I know I said this wasn't going to be like a fashion blog or whatever, but meh, what the hey, the poser and show off in me just couldn't resist, and I'm afraid that this entry will be the first of many containing outfits of the day (though it won't be every day, mind you, i haven't the time, motivation, or the clothes to pull that off!), so here it is I guess:

Coat - H&M 
Jumper - White Stuff 
Dress (worn as a top) & Denim Shorts - Topshop via eBay  
Tights - New Look 
Boots - F&F @ Tesco via eBay

 Cardigan - White Stuff 
Dress - Topshop via eBay 
Tights - La Redoute 
Boots - F&F @ Tesco via eBay 
Alice band - Claire's Accessories

So, these were my outfits for my 2 day trip to London. Apologies for the first photo, but my face was just too hideous and I couldn't bear letting the world see it. Oh, and apologies for the second photo as well, I was just being silly there. I must say, for the first time in ages I was actually quite happy with my entire ensemble, which is a huge plus for my self-esteem / ego, though at the cost of my legs taking a beating from this harsh, British winter. ><"

Note, also, the first photo, in which you see that I gave into my mother's pressuring and bought for myself the White Stuff jumper from my wish list. I know, I know, I'm not supposed to buy stuff from my own wish list but I was too paranoid it was going to sell out in my size, so I couldn't let it get away! Sadly, it's not as warm as I'd hoped (which was a little silly of me anyway, as white stuff clothing is so rarely warm in the slightest) but the concept is cute and I guess for now that's good enough for me (don't really want to complain too much after paying £41 approx. for it either... and that's WITH a discount as well!!).
