There Is a Light and it Never Goes Out



Howdy! 
I hope you had a very merry christmas and are planning a fun filled new year (I know I am!) 
First off, quick apology about the state of the clothes in this outfit post, my iron's been playing up something awful! 
These jeggings are from George at Asda, and for me are a great alternative to the mom jean from Topshop, not only in price, but because of my body shape they look almost the same. The lightness of the denim gives a great vintage feel, and this outfit has a real This is England feel about it. I bought this cropped tshirt from Topshop during one of my many raids, and because of the high waisted nature of the jeans it covers any bits that make you feel a little uncomfortable, especially, if like me, you've overdone it over the holiday season. 
Once again I've put my River Island boots on with this outfit, and if I were to venture outside, which is highly improbable, I would put this Adidas sweat top over it, as the style of it adds to the This is England feel. Finally, I put on this chunky gold chain to tie in with the gold buckles on the shoes. 

I hope you enjoyed this, let me know in the comments, and Happy New Year! 
Thank You

Can You Hear the Silence


Howdy and Merry Christmas!

I've waited until the last possible moment to dig out my winter knits, but I'm so glad I pulled this one out of my wardrobe! My grandma knitted this aran cardigan yonks ago for my grandpa and it just happened to make its way into my wardrobe and I love it. For college I paired it with a red skater skirt from Primark and my utterly beautiful Bring Me The Horizon band shirt that I bought when I went to one of the intimate Sempiternal release gigs at Nottingham Rescue Rooms. For footwear I once again raided the wardrobe of my elders and borrowed my dads brown lace up Timberland shoes, and wore them with my blue lacey socks from Topshop. Seeing as this outfit was for college, I had to take a bag to keep all my college related crap in, and my bag of choice at the minute is my vintage Radley rucksack that I picked up from yet another car boot sale for an absolute steal. 
I hoped you enjoyed this outfit post, let me know in the comments.

Home for Christmas


Howdy!
Yesterday I had the chance to revisit one of my favourite places on Earth; The Harry Potter Studio Tour in London, and is was truly magical (duh!) 
My friends family took me last year as a birthday present, and they were kind enough to take me with them again this year for Hogwarts at Christmas, which was amazing. As we walked into the entrance there was a giant christmas tree covered in snow and beautiful lights (picture 1)
We then got to the Great Hall and it was all decked out for a Hogwarts style christmas feast (picture 2), and there were decorations and trees and other wonderful christmasy things. 



As well as the Great Hall, there were other sets made up to look like they do during the christmas season at Hogwarts, just like the Gryffindor common room (below). 





 
For me, the most memorable bit will always be the scale model of the castle, and seeing it covered in snow was so beautiful I may or may not have cried a bit, it really was one of the best days of my life and I will almost definitely be going again at some point, even if its only to visit the gift shop (one of the best bits).



 I hope you enjoyed this, let me know in the comments!

If I Crash on Your Couch Can I Sleep in My Clothes



Howdy! 
Another outfit post today, as I thought I'd air this dress that I bought from New Look in the summer, but had no where to wear it until recently, when I wore it to my friends birthday meal at Zizzi's. Unfortunately it's a little tight, so I wore my United Colours of Benetton black shirt over it, which looked great! Over the top of the outfit I had my oversized boyfriend coat and my Asos collar, to keep warm, and I love the combination of the two, it makes the coat a lot classier. 
Jewellery-wise I wore my chunky leopard necklace from New Look, as they dark colours underneath tie in with the coat, shirt and shoes, my thrifted chunky chain bracelet and a thumb ring that I 'borrowed' from my grandma. When I went out in this I wore my River Island boots (surprise surprise) but for the purposes of this outfit I paired it with a black pair of high heeled lace up boots. 

I hope you liked this post!

Manage Me, I'm A Mess


Howdy!
Firstly, I would like to apologise for not posting in forever, but it's coursework time at college and I got a bit snowed under, however, I'm on top of it now (touch wood!) so I'll be able to post more on here. 
Anyway, I thought I'd do an outfit post today, as I went and did a bit of christmas shopping last week and came away with a few cheeky purchases for myself. I also ordered a few pieces from the Kukee website, one for my best friends christmas present and a few for myself, like this bird skull necklace. The jewellery from there is such high quality, and so cute and affordable too, which is brilliant. 
During my christmas shopping trip I picked up this dress from New Look, and I love it! It's so on trend with the tartan pattern and the pleather collar and cuffs. I'd put it with my trusty leather jacket that I got last year from River Island, as it goes perfectly with the punk trend that I'm head over heals for. I'd also add on my Asos collar as it is getting very chilly in the UK now unfortunately.
 Another purchase I made was some more of the adorable lace-topped socks from Topshop, 3 pairs in fact oops! I bought a couple of scrunchies from Topshop, this red velvet one and a PU mustard one, which I won't be taking off for a long time, they're so adorable! Finally, I would finish this outfit off with my River Island cut out boots that I bought a few months ago, which go so nicely with the socks. 

I hope you like this style of outfit post, I thought I'd give it a shot seeing as I'm not overly comfortable with the selfie style.
Thank you
