OMG OMG OMG I FREAKING LOVE HOLOGRAPHIC ACCESSORIES! I am genuinely so in love with how much they jazzed up this little outfit. There is a lot of holographic items around at the moment and, as wisely said by a customer I served the other day. buying the clutch, "life's too short to be boring and this is fabulous" haha. So I would definitely suggest grabbing something holographic and spicing up your wardrobe this winter because it will look FABULOUS!
I'm afraid the rest of my outfit is a little plain. The trousers are new and I am super happy with them. I got them from Topshop online as my store did have my size but I needed a size bigger because the fit was just not baggy enough for me but now I have them and I am over the moon. They are comfy, wearable and stylish which makes me very happy! 
I finished off the outfit with my classic G&R band tee and too keep me a little warm I chucked on my Dad's old baggy shirt (which he probably hasn't seen in years). I love these two pieces because I think they'll always be essentials to my wardrobe. You can pick up similar items from charity and vintage shops for really decent prices so it's definitely worth the investment I feel.
So that's today's little look, I hope it makes you happy. I was evidently quite happy when taking these pictures; I was in fact dancing around to The Black Keys and had to refrain my self from singing at the top of my voice and get these pictures done haha! Will post up on LOOKBOOK in a bit. Enjoy :)

MAD SOUNDS IN YOUR EARS















PLAYSUIT - TOPSHOP
TIGHTS - PRIMARK
TOP (WORN UNDERNEATH) - NEW LOOK
BAG - H&M
BOOTS - TOPSHOP
JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
NECKLACE - TOPSHOP

My playsuit is basically my new favourite thing in the world. I LOVE clean structuring and I love it even more in white so this playsuit was an absolute must from me. I was looking for it online for an age but it was a return to my store in my size so I had to snap it up when I could! I reckon it will be something that will get a hell of a lot of wear out of me and for years to come because it's one of those amazing pieces which can be worn in both seasons. So yeah I'm dead happy!

I don't usually do bags in my outfit post because I pretty much use this one everyday! It's so big and just ideal for everyday but I thought it particularly made this outfit. The styling of this outfit, I guess, is kept very to a minimum and I simply just chucked on a necklace, my boots and my leather jacket to complete it all. Hope you all enjoy, will post on LOOKBOOK in a bit!

BE WILD

PLAYSUIT (WORN AS SHORTS) - MISSGUIDED

JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
BAG - CHARITY SHOP
CREEPERS - EBAY
SOCKS -TOPSHOP


So I've decided I shall call this my "Hagrid Haired Dora The Rather Gothic Explorer" look and do not ask me why :) Basically I have no decent leather shorts and thought that leather shorts would be just be oh so perfect with my new top. So I did what a girl's got to do and of course I improvised with my lush pleather playsuit and after a mass of accessorising *TADA* "Hagrid Haired Dora The Rather Gothic Explorer" was born! And do you know what? I LIKE IT!

My real motives to this look were just to grunge down my uber structured (usually quite smart looking) new top. I love structuring and I find it flattering and beautiful, but all over structuring is not my normal style. So of course it called for the fishnet tights and creepers. I feel like fishnet tights should be an essential to a wardrobe because to be honest I just love them.  These ones I'm wearing are cheap as pie from Primark but Ebay also do some great ones for a pound or so if you're looking for maybe more statement fishnets but, personally, I think these Primark ones are perfect; the holes are not too large so they tend to be a bit warmer which is great for winter!
I just completed the outfit with a few finishing touches; my bowler hat which is always great to quickly style up an outfit, my glittery socks (of course) and my cute vintage little backpack, just to give it that Dora touch ;) 
Well that's just a little bit of today's very odd ramblings and my inspirations around this look! Will be posting up on LOOKBOOK ASAP. Enjoy!

LEATHER JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
SHOES - TOPSHOP
SOCKS - TOPSHOP
NECKLACE - TOPSHOP
BELT - CHARITY SHOP
SCRUNCHIE - TOPSHOP


Excuse my hideous morning face in these photo's but anyway this was just a look for work. I was desperate to try out my new velvet skirt and it is lushhh. Such a nice fit and comfy as heeellll.
I just added a plain jersey top and tucked it into my bra to make it cropped. and also teamed it with my new chunky sandals and of course sparkly socks came into the equation.
My beaut leather jacket steal was the warmth factor to pull the outfit together which happened to match perfectly with my new leather scrunchie (on a very rare hair up day).
I was feeling gothy and kept my make up dark and eyes smoking to match, may change the shoes to creepers next time just to keep that gothness alive haha.
Well that's today... short and sweet I know :( Will be posting up on LOOKBOOK shortly.
Enjoy!

PAYDAY HAUL


Hello everyone, this is my very late PAYDAY HAUL. I've been so damn busy that I just haven't had the time to get everything together for this post but here it is. Also please excuse my disgraceful nails and chubby hands. Unpainted nails is always a regret (but a common occurrence) and enjoy! :)


HOLOGRAPHIC BAG
TOPSHOP



 Had my eye on this baby for a while.. such a good dress up bag for a night out and soooo big!





WHITE LONG SLEEVE FITTED TEE
TOPSHOP

 I don't know how anyone can be so in love with just a plain top but I am head over heels. I'm a sucker for structuring I guess. The top's such a lovely material too, so thick and great for winter and flattering too.

PLAIN STRUCTURED TEE
PRIMARK




 Primark have always got a little something I need and I was in need of some plain and cheap tops. I love this because it's so like the current topshop style one but sooooo much more affordable and a great fit!




BLACK VELVET MAXI SKIRT
MISSGUIDED

Been wanting a velvet maxi skirt since I spotted a girl on LOOKBOOK rocking one. Missguided came up good with this baby for £9.99 and a beautiful fit and good quality (considering the price). Slit is VERY high though but I'm still in love.
 PINK TURTLE NECK JUMPER
CHARITY SHOP





Charity shops always get a raiding on payday, this month I actually haven't had much luck :( but this jumper was a perfect little find and it's sooooo cosy. I don't know why but I've fallen in love with the colour and it's definitely added a good bit of colour into my wardorbe. I always get clothes like this in big sizes, this ones a 16UK and so cuddly and baggy,




















WHITE SATIN DRESS
MISSGUIDED

 Grabbed this off missguided for my work christmas party! The party is Great Gatsby themed and I literally cannot wait to style this up and make myself a 1920's party girl!!!



CHUNKY WOODEN HEEL SANDALS
TOPSHOP
 These were a massive steal for £20 in the sale. I
LOVE the heel and think they're great for both
summer and winter as well with a cute pair of socks!





LEATHER SCRUNCHIE 
TOPSHOP

Been bloody desperate for one of these and have
never really found the right one. Thank god Topshop

saved my life the other day. I am chuffed with this!






GREEN SATIN SLIP
TOPSHOP

 If you've read my "LATE NIGHT LUSTING" blog post you'll know I've been waiting to get my hands on this for a while. Slips are such a good addition to a winter wardrobe. This will be perfect for party season and even able to wear casual with just a slouchy jumper. I also love the colour of it!


WHITE PLAYSUIT
TOPSHOP

 I am freaking ecstactic about this little beauty. LAST ONE IN MY SIZE = FATE. The fit is perfect, the colour is perfect and I just love it. Definitely something that's going to get a lot of wear out of me! 


HOLOGRAPHIC "JOLENE" CHUNKY LOATHERS
TOPSHOP


 My boyfriend got me these. I've been wanting them for so long and after months of pestering he finally got them for me. I am loving holographic at the moment, it can really change an outfit and give a unique twist! I love a chunky heel and they are beaut. Killer to break in though! Also there's not a scratch on them, the lighting is super weird.




So that's an insight into the hideous amounts of money I've recently spent! Hope you all enjoyed it.
