I say 'new' I actually go this jacket for my Birthday back at the start of June, but I've been a bit too busy reblogging pictures of dogs on Tumblr to show you all.
I'm pretty sure this was the bargain of a lifetime. I posted a few months back about how much I wanted this jacket, but obviously being £295 it didn't really seem likely that I would ever be able to have one of my own. Still, I would wander in to Whistles every time I walked past one of their stores and try her on while sighing in both sadness and lust- the staff must have thought I was mental!
It was on one of these embarrassingly frequent visits that the shop assistant informed me that the jacket was the last one in stock, so it was a 3rd off, and once it clicked in my head that a 3rd off of £295 was a shit load of money, I frantically phoned my Mum to tell her I had found my Birthday present and that she needed to buy it for me right then and there or I would die. Luckily she complied and I walked out of Whistles with my dream jacket smiling giddily, and as pleased as punch.
Sadly its been a bit too hot to wear her a lot over the summer, but I think I'll get plenty of wear as we plan on spending the rest of our lives together!
I do occasionally like to do a few DIYs in my free time, and I thought that maybe I should take the time to do blog posts about them. Who knows, maybe I'll inspire someone!
After seeing a street style picture of an over-sized leather bow, I knew that I had to have one of my own! I did a little bit of shopping about online, but I couldn't find any that were nice and in my price range, so I decided to make myself one!
I've been pretty busy over the last couple of months, what with moving away to uni and everything, so I thought it could be nice to do a bit of a 're-brand' on here! I think the new name is a bit more appropriate for a fashion blog, and when I have a bit of time I'm going to attempt to HTML a theme for myself- providing I can remember how from my MySpace days.
ANYWAY! this is my 'what's in my bag' post, something that every blogger in the world has probably done before me, so no points for originality.
This is just my everyday bag that I take out when I don't have classes. I bought my purse a couple of weeks ago from primark (£4, can you believe) its a nice size and I love the studded design.
My lovely glittery make up bag was a Max Factor freebee years ago, and I keep all of my basics in there, although I don't think I have ever touched up my make-up while out before (forgetful!) but as a lady, I have to carry these things. I keep a planner in my bag at all times because I'm useless at keeping dates. The one I use is a University planner, because I like people to know I'm clever enough to be at university. The iPod classic was lent to me by my sister after my nano broke, and my phone is a Blackberry 8900, if you're thinking about getting one I recommend avoiding, they keyboard is the only good thing about it. I also carry my glasses which I never, ever wear, my keys with my piggy keyring and a rosy Vaseline which is essential for every girl at this time of year!
After spotting them on the Topshop website I knew that I had to have them. I pretty much only ever wear black ankle boots, they go with everything. I love the cut out sides. It gives them a bit more of a summer feel (and means that my feet wont sweat out.) Like all the shoes I've ever bought from Topshop, the Adonis boots are horrifically uncomfortable. I wore them around the house for less than an hour and had a blister the size of the Isle of White. Nevertheless, they look stunning on, and I think that the £90 price tag is extremely reasonable for a boot this pretty.
