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!

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!

SOME THINGS TO BE PROUD OF SOME STUFF TO REGRET

COATIGAN- EBAY

SHIRT- H&M

SKIRT-TOPSHOP

BOOTS TOPSHOP

TIGHTS - PRIMARK

NECKLACE- EBAY

HEADPIECE- HOMEMADE

Hello again! very miserable day in the UK and I think my face matches that in these photo's but oh well! This outfit I wore to work the other day, I like to dress up but keep things casual. 

The cardigan/coat is new and I love it! It's so warm and cosy and I was definitely needing to add a bit of mohair into my wardrobe. I got it on a one off listing on Ebay and won it for around £2.50!!! I literally take such pride in getting little bargains like this; you get those people who brag about how expensive their clothes are but I'm a person who will shove it in your face for how cheap I got it! I guess that makes me annoying but who cares about that haha.

PVC skirt is another one of my favourites at the moment, as I've probably previously mentioned, I tend to keep whatever I'm wearing top wise simple when I wear it and this shirt is just easy peasy to wear. I tucked it in also during the day just to mix things up! Only thing I'd say about the shirt is that I wish it had just a little bit of a baggier fit. 

Headpiece I just wore as I wanted to jazz up my boring ass hair a little and matched it with the gold chain necklace and my outfit would not be complete with out my favourite pair of boots :)

So that's today's look! Will post up on LOOKBOOK in abit, Enjoy!

PLAID SHIRT - ROKIT

SKORT- MISSGUIDED

BOOTS- DOC MARTEN

DENIM JACKET - EBAY

NECKLACE EBAY

TIGHTS - PRIMARK

SCRUNCHIE - OLD (FROM WHEN I WAS A BUBBA)

So this is a very lazy look from me, I wanted something comfortable and easy! The skort is literally one of my favourite pieces to wear at the moment. I got it from MISSGUIDED a bit ago and it's so comfy and wearable for so many occasions and they have tonnes of different styles on the website. I would suggest getting it true to size though as I got a size bigger because I previously ordered some off ebay in a size 10 which were a little tight! 

It's also getting super cold ATM so I really layered up! The shirt is cosy enough by itself but the jumper definitely helped and when winter comes I love experimenting with layering and trying new things because I always find it actually quite a struggle dressing for the cold as I like to dress up. I like skirts and dresses and I'm not a leggings or jeans girl at all, in fact I only own one pair of jeans! So it's a bit of a challenge dressing when it's freezing outside but I like a challenge.

The jacket is something I always get loads of questions about, I got it off Ebay on a one off listing for about £7. At the time I was after a really nice vintage denim bomber to keep me warm from winter to spring time but I just couldn't find one with an affordable price tag, so this was a perfect match. People always laugh at the little truck on the back and yeah admittedly it's a bit odd but I kind of like that! It's interesting and different and I'm a sucker for anything a little quirky.

My lazy look was obviously completed by my comfy as hell Doc Marten's and punked up by my gold chain!

Hope you enjoy it, will be posted on LOOKBOOK in a bit :)

LATE NIGHT LUSTING

TARTAN CAMISOLE SLIP DRESS - ARK CLOTHING
TARTAN A-LINE SKIRT - TOPSHOP
HIZZ VEST - BATOKO
METALLIC HEELS - TOPSHOP
LEATHER DUNGEREE DRESS - BITCHING AND JUNKFOOD (ASOS)
CHAMPAGNE SLIP DRESS - TOPSHOP
LEATHER SLEEVELESS DRAPE JACKET - ASOS WHITE







so I was a little bored tonight and found myself on a few websites and as per dreaming about all these wonderful items I wish I could add to my wardrobe! It's quite clear that I'm rather fond of tartan and leather at the moment but come on it's getting to winter and how can you possibly go wrong with tartan or leather?

The slip dress from ARK clothing looks like a perfect item to dress up or down and for £22 I feel like I may have to purchase sometime soon! 
The tartan skirt I have had my eye on for a while at Topshop, I'm a complete sucker for skirts recently I find them flattering and really fun to style. So easy to throw a chunky knit over and for it still to look chic. 
Now the "Hizz Vest" completely stood out to me. Quirky tanks always are a statement piece. Pair with some leather shorts and a baggy cardy I reckon you cannot go wrong. 
Metallic Heels? I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE!!!! and that's all my feelings on those beauties.
Probably my favourite thing on this list is the Bitching and Junkfood dungeree dress. My god, I love some PU leather but I love it just that little bit more in dungeree form! I would team the dress with a shabby shirt underneath, a heap load of heavy jewellery under the collar and some killer creepers or doc martens. I really wish I could summon a spare £110 for this dress, I really do. :(((
The slip dress I've already pinned as my Christmas day outfit. It's so stunning. I would just add a fur jacket for an instant vintage feel and I think it's perfect to either be dressed up with a pair of heels or dressed down with some chunky boots. Another must have I evidently need!
This ASOS WHITE wrap has also stolen my heart. I feel like if I had it I would wear it all day and everyday! So simple but oh so beautiful but unfortunately I don't think my bank account will be able to make the stretch. :(

So that's a little insight to my evening's wish list and just some ideas on how I would wear them.

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
