You're My Possession, I'm Your Obsession...

A little bit of inspiration for October!!

Now not only is this month my favourite (for obvious reasons); but I generally just love autumn there’s something so magical about it. 

I think it's about time we break out our chunky knits and woolly coats - bring on the cold!!

Monday calling...

(Ok so it's meant to be London but I can change it).

I can't believe another week has arrived and not only that it's October!!

Yes October!! When did that happen??

And only 20 more days till my birthday!!

Woo!!

Anyway...

Just a quick post today!!

This was me earlier today after I went to college and to my Nan.J's.

Today marked the start of my 3 week tests which I have to do for my access course. It started with English Legal System (Law) this morning (9:30am to be more precise); thankfully Mum and Dad dropped me off at college so no walking - yayayay!! It's quite funny because the test (or assessment as my teacher Andrea calls it); was meant to be 60 minutes long but me being me finished it in 10 minutes. Yes I did just say 10 minutes. I ended up lying on the sofa outside the classroom spread out making small talk with everyone. I reckon I didn't do as well as I should of considering I spent 15 minutes before the test revising; but me being me (again) forgot everything that I had just read and I had no idea what any of it was. Next I have an English test tomorrow, Media on Wednesday and I have to write out my full Personal Statement on Thursday - that should be interesting. I also popped to the dietician today to get my diet sorted. I'm adding more fibre in to my diet also fruit and veg; this might help with my constant ballooness and have me looking good for my birthday. After that I went to my Nan.J's as it is her 87th birthday today!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNY!!!! So we went round and gave her, her presents and had a spot of dinner (those who have seen my Twitter/Instagram will know what I'm taking about). Overall it's been a tiring day but it's gonna be an exhausting week, the only good thing is that I've finished reading and annotating chapter 2 of 'Enduring Love'. Yayayay!!

To the outfit...

Now as the days are now cold, dark and wet I have come to the realisation that I never know what to wear. Because of this situation I actually bought a jumper yesterday while on my lunch break from work. It's pink, fluffy and has sequins on it - naturally not me but there’s something about this jumper that I like. Odd. Talking about jumpers, the one I'm currently wearing in this picture is from a charity shop on my bus route. I know I called it vintage but I think it still counts. I only went in to the charity shop on a whim because I needed to top up my oyster and it just happened to be next door; I headed to the men's section where I found this cream fluffy thing and I knew I needed it. For only £4.50 I knew it was a bargain plus with the neutral colour it'll be perfect for autumn, winter and early spring.

It has taken me far too long to write this blog post due to distractions (again).

I'm now going to do a bit of tumbling to keep me sane.

Not that it will work...

And I Wrote The Very First Song...

It's Sunday again!!

Woo!!

Not only does this Sunday mean only 3 more weeks to my birthday, but it means another Sunday playlist!!

I've actually got some new songs this week so my interest has been varied (again).

So without further or do I present my Sunday playlist!!!

ENJOY!!!

Oh my god I have a cold!!

I was perfectly fine and healthy this morning; but as the day has gone on the sneezing has become more frequent to the point where it's running and I can't catch it!!

I actually can't remember the last time I had a cold which is good, but now I feel like its back for vengeance.

Doesn't help that I'm half dead and my lazy eye is slowly closing - I look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards.

Anyway...

Just a quick post today!!

This was me earlier today after college.

I've now finished my second week at college and all I can remember from it is how tired I am. Doesn't help that I have the '3 week tests' next week and I feel like I haven't learnt anything - you can see my dilemma! I also have to read chapter 2 of 'Enduring Love' which I really don't like. If any of you haven't seen the film DON'T, it is the most weirdest film ever and apparently the book is completely different; but I can't help but compare it to the film (even if I am on chapter 2). But don't worry, college hasn't been just work, work, work in fact I've been socialising. I've even clicked with a girl in my class called Leah; it's so nice to meet someone who loves vintage as much as I do. I'm still working on other connections/friendships so you never know what will happen. I've also noticed that I've been dressing really girly lately (even in the two outfits I haven't shown here); maybe it's something to do with the rain brings out the inner girly girl in me. Which reminds me - OMG the rain on Tuesday was horrendous!! And it didn't help that I decided to wear pumps which turned from shoes to puddles. Wasn't fun!!

To the outfit...

I am channelling my inner Parisian in honour of Paris Fashion Week!!

Would I rather be in Paris - YES!!

I had this outfit in my head for a while in various variations, but all included this skirt and my lovely Alexy boots. I think with this Vero Moda skirt you have the option of dressing it up or dressing it down, a month ago I wore it in a casual/dressy way for drinks (here). I love how fairytale esque this skirt is with the netting, the slight puffiness and of course the length which makes it very ladylike. I think this is perfect teamed up with my old H&M top which let's face it I wear quite a lot, (I even used to wear it to bed months ago). Not only are the longer sleeves perfect for this weather, but the combination of the grey background with black stripes gives it the classic Breton style. I always imagined this outfit with these boots to really have the feminine element, plus it's a great excuse to keep practising in these (and its working).

I feel like death warmed up!!

I want to crawl in to the corner and be left alone by the world (I didn't want to say die).

Hopefully I'll feel better in the morning.

Fingers crossed...

It's just another manic Monday and wasn't it manic!!

I was on the bus for about 35 minutes which may not seem a lot; but my bus journey on takes 15 - 20 minutes. I then ran up six flights of stairs and straight to my classroom thinking I was going to be late, charged through the door and turns out my teacher wasn't even there! 

Not a good start to the day.

I think the weather didn't help my miserable feeling on this miserable day!

Anyway...

Hello! Nice to see you again!!

Just a quick post today!!

Don't I look every inch the student!!

(As I had law this morning I wanted to look the part).

This was me earlier today after I had got back from College/meeting Jaime.

I had no idea what to wear today as it has been doing nothing but chucking it down with rain all day. What didn't help was on my lunch break (well what was left of it I ended up talking to my law teacher for 25 minutes - long story); I went out for an apricot croissant and ended up stepping in all the puddles. Let's just say I wasn't happy and neither were my feet. Oh and my umbrella decided to break so I now have to use my massive ones; but then they are pweedy so I don't mind. After college I met up with Jaime who I hadn't seen in three months (I think). It was good to do a bit of shopping (I only bought food); but overall it was good to catch up as Jaime is now at Uni and of course I'm at college. I did pick up doughnuts which were delicious thank you for asking.

To the outfit...

As I said earlier I had no idea what to wear today.

What seems to happen is as soon as one raindrop falls from the sky, any clue I had to what I was going to wear that day disappears. Whenever it rains I go in to fashion - panic - overload and I can never figure out what to wear. I decided to go ahead and wear the outfit I originally planned to wear today, regardless of what the weather is like. This skater dress is from Primark and is a nice addition to my collection. I already have my Topshop one but I think it's nice to have a variety. This one is a thicker material and has a horizontal stripe detail effect (I don't know the correct term); plus it comes with this cute little bow belt which is an absolute bugger!! As it kept coming undone. I teamed it up with my leopard shirt for a law student inspired ensemble. I'm not as daring as Elle Woods to be head to toe in pink, so leopard print is more my comfort zone plus I got to chuck on black and gold jewellery.

I'm now half dead and I'm hoping to get a few hours kip!!

I have no idea what to wear tomorrow so I might take inspiration from past outfits.

I need inspiration!!

Shall I pop over to Milan??

Yes I think so...

Why Don't We Break The Rules Already?

Monthly Want - September

Lazy Oaf Skull Skater Dress - £65

O M G!!!

How amazing is this dress!!

I actually dream of this dress its so pweedy!!

If I could choose one piece to invest in, it would probably have to be this dress. 

Not only is this dress a skater dress with an empire line; but it also has skulls on and it's black and white. I don't think I've ever found a dress that has ticked so many boxes. It is £65 which is a little pricey but this dress is worth it. Unfortunately they've sold out of my size, but I noticed they do a skull shirt - definitely keeping my eye on that.

I now feel like my dress collection is dull and boring compared to this dress!!

Maybe the shirt might be able to fill that hole...

Pay day next week!!

Woop!!

It's A World Wide Symphony...

Happy Saturday!!!

It's that time of the week again for my weekly playlist!!

Now I know I usually do these on a Sunday, but as tomorrow is the 23rd (which means Monthly Want time); I'm bringing the playlist to you one day earlier.

This week’s music is going to be a mix of new music that’s growing on me, ones I've rediscovered and ones that have been on repeat.

I will warn it's very female dominated this week - well apart from Louis Armstrong (love him).

ENJOY!!
