More Tartan Please

Here's a phrase I thought I'd never say: I am LOVING all things tartan. Cannot get enough of it right now. I have all manner of things in this weird and wonderful print from scarfs to skirts and today I even decided to venture out in my new tartan dress. I actually had the dress for Christmas but I've been too chicken to break it out ever since. However, seeing as the weather is so damp and dreary I needed something to lift my spirits just a little bit and it seems this dress is just what the doctor ordered. Add into the mix my blossoming love for pinafore dresses and it would seem that I do indeed want to revert back to the nineties child that I once was. Well, one can but dream. .

Seeing as we are braving arctic conditions at the moment, I have teamed the dress with a black sheer shirt (worn underneath), and my ever-present opaque tights. As soon as I put it on I felt like my six-year-old self once again and I really believe that every stressed out third year student should give this dress a whirl, it makes you feel oh so carefree - if only this were try, hey!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go

This morning I was rudely awakened by the delivery woman, however I quickly forgave her when I realised she was delivering my new pinafore style dress. I've absolutely fell in love with the pinafore in recent weeks and couldn't wait to get my hands on one. To my delight, as I was browsing the internet yesterday I found one in the Boohoo sale for a mere £10 (£9 with student discount). This was a bargain I could not miss, so obviously I ordered it immediately.

It came this morning and I have spent the day thinking of an excuse to break it out. Unfortunately, due to the copious amounts of work I have to do this weekend I am under self-inflicted house arrest and have promised myself I will not, under any circumstances, leave my confines. So instead, I've dressed this outfit up showing you how I have decided to style it next time I get the chance to wear it. I'm now on the look out for a denim one ready for the summer.

Again, sorry for the terrible pictures - still waiting on that camera!

Friday Feeling

So I'm off on my way into town before stopping off at uni for a seminar. We all know how tempting it is to roll out of the house wearing the t-shirt you slept in and pair of leggings when you've got uni, especially when hungover on a Friday. But I've tried my very best to make an effort this afternoon, after all you look good, you feel good - right?!

So here's what I've thrown together today. A purple and burgundy tartan skirt a la Primark teamed with a black sheer blouse, opaque tights and some black studded ankle boots. Perfect for a chilly winter day.

I'll apologise in advance for the awful webcam pictures but unfortunately my camera has decided to die on me this morning, which is never ideal.

Cinema Date

Been to the cinema tonight to see Django Unchained with my boyfriend, after all it is a half price Wednesday and I'm a girl who loves a bargain so why not! Thought I'd post up a quick OOTD to show you all what I decided to wear for my little week night date. The shirt I picked up in Primark for the bargain price of £5 in the sale a couple of months ago, I love the print on it - just perfect to dress up a casual pair of jeans or leggings. I've teamed it with a pair of grey skinnies (also from Primark, can't go wrong at £12?!) and my cherished heeled chelsea boots.

Bristol Photo Shoot

So yesterday I decided to leave Southampton for a little trip to the beautifully exciting city of Bristol. Now I wasn't just gallivanting off for no reason, I was there to interview the lovely Emily and Jess, the founders of inspirational wedding blog, Bespoke Bride. The girls were in the midst of a photo shoot for the launch of their new website 'The Online Wedding Show'.

Last night's shoot, photographed by Edd Taylor, was based in the wonderfully trendy vintage and antique furniture shop Dig Haushizzle (if you wish to read my previous post on them click here), which I have to say offered the perfect backdrop for the girls - simply amazing.  The end result was great and I cannot wait to see the final images - I'm sure everyone involved is equally excited in their anticipation of these! And although we ran out of time for an actual interview this will instead take place next week.

For now, here's a couple of 'behind-the-scenes' snaps taken by myself (sorry for the crappy phone quality) and Cass at Dig Haushizzle.

Pickle Power

Last night I attended 'FranFest' - the birthday celebrations of my beautiful friend Francesca Bartha. For the festival themed house party myself and my housemate Sam decided to do something slightly different as, quite frankly, I didn't fancy turning up in the standard festival uniform of hotpants and a crop top, wellies optional. Instead we opted for a slightly different take on fancy dress, basically we went dressed as giant pickled gherkins, naming ourselves 'Team Pickle' - just don't ask.

I'm not going to explain this idea too much, but basically we enjoy a nice pickle now and again and we thought we'd spread the joy through the medium of FranFest. We certainly achieved our aim, everyone was definitely loving our efforts, myself included. I'm surprised at how much I got involved with the arts and crafts to be honest.

So here ya go, some lovely pictures of our evening dressed as pickles.

Well, I had to take the costume off at some point!

What have you all been up to this weekend, can you top my pickle story?

Missguided Goodies

Thought I'd let you all know what I've been treating myself to this week. I'm not usually one to shop on Missguided but, as I have quickly realised, they are just so cheap - especially when it comes to crop tops. Crop tops have fast become my go-to basic to wear with anything and everything with a high-waisted cut, so you can see why I was to drawn to these bargains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Top Left to Bottom Right:

Striped Turtle Neck Crop - £6.99

Denim Disco Pants - £21.99

Cut-out Shoulder Crop Top - £9.99

Berry turtle Neck Crop - £5.99

Off the Shoulder Crop - £8.99

 

 

So I got all this for just over £40 which meant I was also eligible for free next day delivery - which I most probably would have paid for anyway as I absolutely hate having to wait for goodies when ordering them on the internet. When I buy something I want it and I want it NOW.

 

Along with these gorge crop tops I also came a across a pair of denim style disco pants when browsing the 'leggings' section. Now, in the picture I think they look amazing and I've been after a pair of high-waisted jeans for a long, long time, however I'm slightly afraid they may turn up and look completely different. I really don't want them to be a jegging type material as I'm not the biggest fan of this item of clothing. But we shall see when they arrive in the morning!

 

Can I also mention how beautiful the off the shoulder number is. I have fallen in love with this style and cannot wait to see what it looks like when I try it on. I may even have to go back and order this in the berry shade (my absolute fave colour) and the black.

 

What have you all been treating yourselves to this week?
