I've Been California Wishing On These Stars...

Vanessa Hudgens

I haven't actually done one of these in months!!

I must admit that I never used to be a fan of Vanessa Hudgens due to the fact that she was apart of a franchise that I absolutely loathe (High School Musical to be precise); but I am a fan of her work since for example Beastly and Sucker Punch.

As you know I'm a fan of baggy jumpers, maxi dresses, maxi skirts, flowy dresses etc so when I was looking at celebrity style I noticed Vanessa and I now want to steal her wardrobe.

I love her effortless bohemian LA style.

Vanessa is definitely one of my style inspirations she's always well dressed whether it's be casual or at an event.

Overall I think I need her wardrobe...all agreed...yes!!

Wow I look slim in this photo!

(Thank you Mum.)

I'm just going to take a moment and say how lovely the weather is today. I actually saw a kid eating an ice lolly I was so proud.

Now I know when I wear sunnies I'm not wearing any make up but today that's not true, it was more like make up gone wrong so I had to put the sunnies on for the photo (any excuse).

Now today I popped in to town to meet up with my friend Jaime for a gossip and a coffee. I had an aim today of purchasing a new lipstick because for some reason I keep wearing them at the moment which is rare for me. I already own a red, red/pink, hot pink, light purple, dark purple, nude, coral and a dark purpley/brown; it does sound like a lot but really it isn't (I end up wearing the dark purple a lot). So I made it my mission to branch out...it didn't go too well; I couldn't find colours I liked so I decided to just pick up a lipstick that I liked the look of so I decided on MUA Makeup Academy - Shade 3, which is a luscious deep pinky/red colour perfect for me. I also picked up a Little Pink Tin and NYC Eyelashes.

Now to the outfit...

I would like to point out my beanie which you can't actually see because the sun decided to be annoying and ruin it; but this is my multi-coloured sequinned beanie from Forever 21 which makes me feel like I'm in the 70's. I don't know what it is about sequinned beanies but you can just chuck it on with a plain outfit and it looks amazing.

As you know on Friday I went to West Wickham with my Mum and I picked up this maxi dress and I love it!! It's so comfortable and keeps you warm I'm really glad I decided to get it.

Jaime and I agreed that I was in my normal colour palette pretty much my uniform today. I always feel more comfortable in black and grey I guess when you're so used to wearing the same colours over and over again; you don't dare try something new (anti-colour here).

I will mention about why I always wear a vest top underneath my clothes it's because it's my equivalent to thermals, I like to keep warm and especially if you wear something too short or see through it's nice to have that protection.

I'm more of a 90 year old then a 19 year old...

Fun...

Again no make up hence the sunnies (I’m terrible).

For the billionth time in my life, I had grown attached to my bed and then decided to spend 20 minutes trying to decide what to wear; never a good combination.

Today’s adventure consisted of my Mum and I heading to West Wickham.

I like going to West Wickham because we rarely ever go and their charity shops are really good, you always manage to find a bargain. After drooling over a PPQ dress (which I sadly didn't get as when I tried it on it wasn't for me); I managed to pick up 2 Penguin Classics: Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell & The Girls of Slender Means - Muriel Spark. I've always heard good reviews about Nineteen Eighty Four so when my Mum found it on the shelf for a £1 I knew I had to get it, in another charity shop we managed to fine The Girls of Slender Means now I must admit I had never heard of the novel before but it appealed to me while reading the blurb (and it was 60p!!!).

I did end up getting a grey marl maxi dress and not only is it long enough for me but the sleeves are nice and long to hide my hands in. I do love a good maxi dress.

Now to the outfit...

I was originally planning on wearing a glamorous outfit (with my new Butler & Wilson necklace and everything); but with the deadline to leave the house I just wanted to chuck anything on.

I grabbed my Cheap Monday jumper (the love of my life); along with my old faithful Warehouse trousers and leopard shoes (every outfit needs a bit of leopard). Now the bag you see in the picture is my new purchase from Primark yesterday, it's a bag that I've been after for a few months and I had been putting off buying it until yesterday when I decided to take the plunge. I must say I'm rather glad I did, I love black and gold together, the chain handle is a nice touch plus it can fit all my rubbish I carry around with me and it'll be perfect for a night out.

I now believe Saturday should be national sleep day. All agreed...yes!

Time to get some practice in.

Any excuse...

I'm a bit of a poser aren't I?

I have been a little bit more lazier then usual this week. For some reason tiredness has descended over me like a rain cloud and insists on following me around.

Anyway enough of my moaning, today I popped in to town to pick up some essentials. I have been after a pack of 3 bracelets from H&M with Paris, London & New York on them; now I will say my local H&M is very good for the Divided range but never any good when it comes to accessories or jewellery (it got to the point where I would pester my mum to buy things online...never works). Now to my surprise I went in to H&M today and low and behold the bracelets were there!! I will admit I have never grabbed anything more quickly in my life but I'm definitely happy I have them. 

I also picked up some pens, notebooks, a pack of two flower studs, a black and gold bag and the most cutest denim-esque belted dress from Primark for £10!! I didn't even bother trying it on I bought it straight away (in case you were wondering it fits nicely).

Now on to the outfit...

I figured out some outfits that I was determined to wear this week so as I looked down the list I knew immediately this was the one I wanted to wear. Now to me this outfit has the right comnination of nautical with the white, blue and red not forgetting my gold jewellery. 

When I popped in to town last week I splurged a bit on jewellery (my Achilles heel...yes I have a few); I saw this handcuff necklace and I knew I had to have it, there’s just something about gold handcuffs that make me excited (that came out wrong).

I'm loving my Rocco inspired bag I suddenly feel complete (yes a bag can do that to me).

I will mention my lovely blazer from River Island which is the best item I have ever pestered my mum to buy me, I actually haven't worn it that much but with the weather at the moment where it blows hot and cold its perfect enough to keep me warm and of course looking stylish.

Now time to watch Crufts which for me is the most dangerous programme ever!!

I want a doggie now...

I'm completely tired!!

I feel like a princess today in my maxi skirt. There's something about running up and downstairs in a long skirt or dress that suddenly makes you feel like Cinderella.

So today I went in to town to run some errands with my Mum and sister.

I managed to pick up one of the things I have been after for what feels like ages!! Ever since watching the final 2 episodes of Sex and the City for the billionth time I suddenly had the urge to buy some neutral colour gloves like Carrie wears; it then turned in to a search for some ladylike dainty ones and since my vintage search didn't turn out as well (I have big hands...weird I know), I decided to look at Accessorize and fell in love with a pair of white lace ones which I now own in black and I'm in love.

Now to the outfit...

You may notice a spiffing looking item on my arm which is my new bag off Ebay. Now for about a year I have been obsessed with Alexander Wang's Rocco bag and I noticed Gwen from thisfashionismine and Victoria from VIPXO had purchased theirs off Ebay; so a couple of months ago I decided to do some research and found the bag but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it. So the other day I convinced my Mum (after doing some more research) to treat me to the bag and I was surprised she said yes; and at 8am this morning my lovely bag arrived and I am in love and plan on using it everyday.

Also just going to mention my neon Minnie Mouse top which I got from Primark ages ago and I have putting off wearing it ,I felt too scared to wear bright colours (weird I know) but I just think the pop of colour makes the outfit, (well it's better then being all black...at least for today).

I promise I won’t blabber on anymore (and if anything doesn’t make sense I apologise for that too); tiredness slowly kicking in.

Now I'm settled in and watching Fairly Odd Parents...my guilty pleasure.

I love Poof!!!

I apologise for the dodgy photo but the light and my camera decided not to work together.

Today I went to Victoria to pick up my sister.

After a mad dash out the door, running for the train and then spending 3/4 of the journey putting on my hot pink lipstick (smells like raspberries and I felt it was needed); I decided to prioritise by heading straight to Costa for a muffin (which was delicious thank you for asking).

Now I am a bit annoyed about the photo because I actually really liked my outfit today.

(Makes a change).

This week is Paris Fashion Week. Am I jealous? Of course not (completely); if there's one fashion week I would love to go to it would be Paris. Parisians have a chic way of dressing it's just so effortless and as much as I like being a Londoner I wouldn't mind being a Parisian.

Now about the outfit...

This is my new Cheap Monday jumper that I purchased at London Fashion Weekend; it is without a doubt my new favourite piece in my wardrobe. It literally looks like someone has stretched it two sizes to big for me even though it's a medium!! As soon as my sister saw it she immediately wanted to steal it so for a tenner it's an absolute bargain.

I'm quite please I'm updating my blog more often now then I did; even though it is now March it's going to be my new years resolution.

Let's hope I don't break this one...
