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!

WINTER HAS BROKEN AND I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO LOSE MY HEAD




 





DRESS - H&M
BOOTS -TOPSHOP
HAT - TOPSHOP
SCARF - VINTAGE
JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
TIGHTS - PRIMARK
CHOKER - TOPSHOP
BELT ( NOT VERY VISIBLE) - H&M
HAND OF FATMA NECKLACE - HOLIDAY

Hello again, first of all massive apologies for the poor quality of the photo's (my boyfriend clearly has no clue how to work a camera). Anyway I had an interview this day so went for something smart but stylish. The jacket I recently found in a charity shop for £10 and it's real freaking leather!!! Probably one of my best charity shop finds I've discovered in a while and it fits perfect.
I teamed it with this dress which is definitely a win for me. I don't usually have time to go proper shopping but I popped into H&M with my friend and saw it and that was love there and then. I've been searching for a simple black slip for a while, I really was after a Zara one but this little lovely was another steal instead at £19.99 and I am super impressed. It fits soooooo nice but initially I chose a medium. I always tend to go for bigger rather than small but it was ridiculously big. So I'd definitely suggest getting a size smaller. Just to finish of the dress I put a belt with it for an extra fitted look. I love H&M's winter range at the moment, it has some really nice basic but beautiful pieces for this season, definitely will be making a trip back on payday!
This outfit, as a whole, I chose to really accessorise which was really fun. The scarf is so on trend. I always get so many nice comments on it. I went for silver jewellery again; the choker and my mum's lucky hand of Fatma, we got on holiday in September. I pulled that all together with my little bowler hat and obviously my favourite shoes (topshop ARGO boots) and red lipstick, another MAC one of course.
So that's it for today! Really hope you all liked it, thank you!

TEAR ME APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT














ARGO BOOTS- TOPSHOP
PU LEATHER SKIRT - TOPSHOP
CROPPED T-SHIRT- MISSGUIDED
COAT - URBAN OUTFITTERS
HAT - VINTAGE
SOCKS -TOPSHOP
NECKLACE - FREEDOM @ TOPSHOP












Hello again! This is another work outfit I wore the other day and I stupidly did that without tights *MASSIVE FACE PALM* but other than that I loved it! I'm so lucky with where I work that I am able to wear almost what I like and therefore get the chance to express my personal style. Also I am surprisingly loving this cold weather, it's given me the opportunity to wear all my coats and jackets I obsessively collect in the winter and forget about over the summer. This jacket here is an oldie but definitely a goodie and a steal at that! I got it in the UO sale a couple of Christmas Eve's ago (when I wasn't a retail bitch and had that day off) and it has served me well. Fur never goes out of winter trends, even if it's pink, it also goes with a lot and is cosy as hell. 
The rest of the outfit is relatively new- I think I may have mentioned a few posts ago how very into skirts I am at the moment and this one is a definite fave. They are massive sellers in Topshop at the moment and they also have it in black and grey, I personally opted for the white as I thought considering I have hundreds of black leather items a white one may just mix things up a little bit! I teamed it with my plain black crop tee just because I feel the skirt is quite a statement piece and i want the outfit to still look clean.
The boots are quite possibly my most beloved possession at this point, I got them about three weeks ago and they have barely left my feet since, I wanted them for ages and found the one pair in my size! FATE I'M TELLING YA! And the best thing about them is that for an ankle boot they are relatively comfy and I can wear them with pretty much anything... they're just amaaazing. I'm pretty annoyed I couldn't get a decent enough photo of them though but I'll link them here . They also come in tonnes of different colours/styles and if I could own them all I'd be a very happy lady.
Accessories for this outfit l I have kept reasonably to a minimum. The hat is a vintage family hand me down which my mother recently discovered, I love that it's not just your're average fedora or bowler hat; it's a lot bolder than that but still simple and chic. Glittery socks had to be done because black would just be boring (tights next time though) and the necklace is an old one and actually a bit beaten up but hey i'm still wearing it!
So that's it. Will also post it LOOKBOOK on a bit later! Enjoy...

LION HEART











Jumper - Ebay
Slip Dress (worn as skirt) - Vintage
Bag - Charity Shops
Boots - Dr Marten
Tights - Primark
Head Chain - Handmade
Necklace - Holiday Souveneir 
Watch - Michael Kors


So today I opted for something very easy and comfy, I was also feeling very vintage! I'm going to blame that on the autumnal weather, I don't know why but this wrap up coldness just makes me want to jump in to every charity or vintage shop and grab loads of old granny jumpers, old leathers or anything else they may have going! Anyhow the dress I'm wearing, as a skirt, actually used to belong to my Nan, she always had a large collection of petticoats and wore them under everything and this is one of them. So when I'm over I tend to search the house head to toe for little treats and I found this beaut in the summer and I love it, love the colour, the lace detail and even more the fact that my little Nanny C had such good taste. It also has amazing lace detailing on the top of it however It was bloody freezing when taking these pictures this morning I couldn't dare to even think about adjusting the position of my jumper! But trust me my Nan's old petticoat turned dress by the fantastic invention of a belt (Granny length needed a bit of working) is beautiful! Obviously I feel the dress is quite a stunning item in itself so I just dressed it down with a chunky jumper that I got off Ebay for a about £12 a couple of years ago. Here's one similar. It's a really easy, good, basic piece and I've had so much good wear out of it. I also teamed it with absolutely favourite things in the world, my black DM's and some laddered tights from Primark. I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about the tights, I like them because they're something different but at the same time I just don't like how they look sometimes and I don't know why! Accessories wise I kept things gold and simple! I love the head chain I think it adds a little bit to any outfit and everyone loves an accessory that can do that! My friend actually made this one- he got the chain from a local haberdashery shop for around £3 and crafted it together himself which is a much cheaper option! And the bag is another little treasure I picked up in a charity shop and it serves me damn well for its size, never thought I'd be a backpack girl, always been one for big handbags, but this one's changed my ways.
So that's a little bit of detail on today's look and I really hope you enjoy it :)

RAGS TO RICHES OR SO THEY SAY YA GOTTA KEEP PUSHIN' FOR THE FORTUNE AND FAME





 
                  

GUNS N' ROSES TEE - VINTAGE
PVC SKIRT & SOCKS - TOPSHOP
SHOES, NECKLACE & BRACLET - EBAY
OVERSIZED SHIRT/JACKET - CHARITY SHOP
LIPSTICK - MAC (FILM NOIR)



Today I wore this little ensemble to work and I've got to say its one of my comfiest work outfits to date (excluding the brand new shoes). I wear this tee all the time around the house because it's so damn comfy but when I teamed it with my PVC skirt the inner goth/grunge misfit came out in me! The skirt I got about a week or so ago has to be my favourite item at the moment, I never thought I'd see PVC as such a versatile piece but, seriously, I can not stop wearing it. I did get the TALL version though as I just wanted a little bit of extra length just to be safe! I think the shoes are awesome and I had so many nice comments on them however I think I almost broke a toe and the shoes are currently being stretched so I can wear them again (fingers crossed). I have linked them but I'd definitely suggest getting a size bigger to avoid the ungodly pain I suffered today. The whole "new age goth" look was not complete with out a big oversized black shirt jacket; I've been searching ebay trying to find something similar but picked this one up in charity shop for a fiver or so the other day and I'm in love and obviously had to whip out the dark lipstick as well. MAC is a winner everytime!

AN INSIGHT

I'm new to blogging so for my first post I just thought I'd give an insight to my life and my style. These photos begin from about March time and the reel ends with me posing in my skanky work toilets and posing as a sparkley mermaid last week!
Me, Myself? I am Bethany Louisa May Powers (or just Beth to most) and I am 19 years old, from Surrey, UK and I fudging love fashion and I've made this little blog to share that. I'd like to think I have a unique style, I love layering and getting something really pretty and teaming it with something grungy but in all honesty I'm kind of unpredictable so we'll see what happens! I currently work at Topshop so a lot of items I wear are from there but I'm a bargain hunter and spend most nights scrolling through Ebay and most pay days trekking around local charity shops.
So be patient with me while I start off but I'm just here to share my favourite things with the whole wide world :)
hope you all like it. Beth x x
