OOTD: Plastic Chains

Cashmere Jumper - Vintage, Pleated Skirt - New Look, Necklace & Ring -  Topshop.

This is my outfit choice for today. Autumn has fairly changed the weather up here and every day gets a bit colder and colder, but today is actually a bit warmer, so I might have to change my jumper because I will boil alive at work wearing this. I love my necklace, my boyfriend doesn't agree but I really do not care. I think it is awesome.

I am trying to wear outfits that are a bit more interesting, for about a week or so I just wore jeans and a tee. There is nothing wrong with that, but I just felt like my mood dropped. So, when I wear something a bit more thought out I actually feel more confident.

I am going to upload this look to LOOKBOOK and then dash off to work. See you later!

My Week...

Last week was a bit crazy for me...

Above is an image of the inside of my sewing machine. It decided to go a bit crazy and have a slight breakdown. After I got myself together once MY meltdown was over, my boyfriend and I cracked the little monster open and we fixed her! PHEW! I do not have any spare cash for a new one and my mini sewing machine wouldn't be able to cope with all my sewing needs.

A little sneak peek into my latest project at University (below). The theme is 1920s and I am using a very important building in New York as my inspiration. Can you tell what it is...

This past weekend was really fun. I had MOST of the weekend off from work and projects, so my boyfriend and I just vegged for pretty much the whole weekend. Plenty of cups of teas were brewed. 

I am planning on having a last minute Halloween party sometime this weekend, I still don't know my shifts from work so I can't decide on a specific day. Hopefully it will be all fun and games though. I have started on Ewan's costume, but I am having last minute thoughts about my one, so I am hoping to think of something better in the next four days or so. 

Anyway, here are some other fun images from 'My Week...'.

Taking a sly photo of a girl's AWESOME Cambridge Satchel...

My favourite kind of frappacino...

Awesome plaster to cover a baddie!

My Crystal ring.

Winter Wants

Doc Martens are one type of shoe that I would love to get my paws on. Especially a groovy flower pair of a nice pastel shade of pink or lilac. Or even a hot pink pair would be nice. I feel that you can pretty much wear them with anything you like. Wether it be jeans or a nice cute tea dress. It will be hard for me to find a womans pair in a size 9 for me though. So, hopefully it will pop up on eBay or something.

Whilst browsing through We Heart It, I was looking for different ways that some people wear Docs and here is what I found:

OOTD: Red Daisies

-So, today is a 'self-directed' day from University. Which normally means I stay at home to do my work and drink a lake full of tea and watch some chick flicks by myself. I am in the mood for a girly day with my girls though, but I really need to do some work so I can't have that distraction.

-I am trying my hardest to take more OOTD photos for posts, but some days I wake up, look at my wardrobe and feel... nothing. I really need to go on a wardrobe revival shopping trip. So, I shall be browsing the web for some new stuff.

Is there anything good on the High Street right now?

Street Style Stalker 2

When it comes to styling and fashion, the thing that I love most is the street style in the big cities. Here in Aberdeen, the style can be a mixed bunch. Nothing compared to London or New York of course.

Whilst browsing the web for some interesting street style images, I came across some street style in New York showcased by men. That got me thinking. I have never really looked at menswear for style, and let me tell you this. I found some amazing things! So, this blog post is a mixed bunch of both female and male street fashion.

Alexander McQueen SS 2012 RTW

The one thing that I love most in this Universe is a new Alexander McQueen collection on the catwalk. Sarah Burton is just amazing, she is truly grasping the McQueen label perfectly. From the cutout organic shapes, down to the styling of the models. It is just perfect!

Tailoring is something that the House of McQueen manage perfectly. The silhouette and cut of the fabrics just are stunning on the models frame. Plus, I am never distracted by the models walk or her facial features because the detailing on the garments is just so intense that you cannot take your eyes off of it. The structure of the tailoring is so impeccable and fitted beautifully, but it still gives the amazing movement.

I just adore this collection, the McQueen label has never let me down.

October is here!

October is here! It is my favourite month, and I just love love LOVE Autumn. I love layering outfits and big winter boots come out to play with some warm woollen tights.

I have been browsing the internet to find some pieces that I really need to have in my life, so if anyone is feeling generous then send them on down! I really shouldn't spend anymore money after I have just subscribed to VOGUE for two years, haha.

I do apologise for being absent from the blogging world, I have just been terribly busy this week. Going to University then straight to work means I don't get home until 10pm and then it is pretty much bedtime for me!
