PINSTRIPE

NEOPRENE COAT: WHOLESALE7
VINTAGE SHIRT: WEARECOW
PINSTRIPE TROUSERS/ LEGGINGS: WHOLESALE7
PLATFORM SANDALS: DAISY STREET

I found this look from a few months ago which I forgot to post, oops! These pinstripe trousers are now part of my nail technician uniform as they're super comfy and they look fancy and professional because pinstripes remind me of that kind of thing. I think that I may need to get more because once I'm qualified hopefully I shall be doing many nails and they might get worn out!!

You know those lazy jeans and t-shirt days? Today is one of those days, apart from instead of plain jeans they have sparkly sequins all over them and instead of a plain white t-shirt it has the wonderful Sailor Moon on the front! Such an easy way to spice up an every day outfit! Yes I just said 'spice up' clearly I am now a spice girl. Spicing up my life with Sequins. Spicy Sequins. Ok now I'm going to be quiet. Style Moi have actually brought out another pair of spicy sequin jeans, they are sooo cute, I love the colours, lots of pinks and purples. I think I might need to get these as well!

WHITE THIGH HIGH BOOTS: EBAY

Yay my white thigh high boots finally arrived! I found them on ebay for £26 and just had to have them as I couldn't find them anywhere else, and as far as thigh high boots go £26 is quite a decent price! If anyone is interested in buying them I would advise you size up as all Chinese wholesale shoes usually run one size small.

I'm really happy about this look because for once I'm not wearing anything gifted. Don't get me wrong I love all the items I receive as I choose them all myself, some of the items I've been gifted are items I wear pretty much every day! Sometimes however its really nice to wear an entire outfit bought by me, which is normally all charity shop finds, theres nothing more fun than finding something amazing in a charity shop!!

FLUFFY PASTEL BRIAN WARNER

FLUFFY MULTICOLOURED PASTEL FAUX FUR COAT: RIVER ISLAND
MARILYN MANSON HOLY WOOD TOP: EBAY
SOCKS: TOPSHOP
GLITTERY STAR PLATFORM CREEPERS: DEMONIA LIMITED EDITION (DEMONIA)

Today me and Ryan went to take photos of this outfit, for the first time in agesss the sun was out which was nice as the sun is never out in the UK at this time of year! It was however absolutely freezing so its a good job I was wearing this super amazing faux fur coat from River Island, its apart of the Chelsea Girl collection which is the more vintage inspired lines which they do. I had wanted this coat for ages and ordered it in store last week, as soon as it arrived it was reduced from £85 to £40 wahh, and then a few minutes before I posted it on instagram it went out of stock online completely!!

I'm also wearing my Mairlyn Manson Emperor tshirt from the Holy Wood album which I bought off ebay, I think its a size XXXL so I kinda have to wear it as a dress, and the sleeves look really funny on it because of how big it is! Also my Limited Edition Demonia creepers have reemerged from my shoe wardrobe, I bought them off ebay for £15 about three years ago, apparently they only ever made about 50 pairs? I feel super special that I managed to find them for so cheap!!

JESSE PINKMAN

FAUX FUR LEOPARD PRINT COAT: PRIMARK
METALLIC TAPE TROUSERS: RIVER ISLAND
NIRVANA CROP TOP: VINTAGE REWORKED CLOTHES SHOW
NIRVANA HAT: CAR BOOT SALE
CONVERSE: WEARECOW
SOCKS: EBAY

Whenever I wear this hat, which is pretty much never because hats look really weird on me, I feel like Jesse Pinkman. I think that this is going to be my Jesse Pinkman hat from now on, although I think it might be a childs hat. I remember a little boy looking at me like I was crazy as I bought it at a car boot sale a few years ago. Which makes me wonder who would buy their child a Nirvana hat, then again any kid with a Nirvana hat will probably grow up to be one cool dude. On another note, how cool is this coat? I feel I am embracing my inner Hagrid. Its in the sale at Primark, although there were only two left when I went in the other day. It was originally £35 and I almost bought it but they didn't have it in my size and when I went back the other day there were only two left but they had been reduced and I was like ahhh I must have!!! So I ended up getting a size 14. I think its the perfect fit, primark is a really good brand for sizing up and getting lots of oversized things!!!

HAPPY 5TH BLOG BIRTHDAY MONTAGE! + MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

NEOPRENE COAT: WHOLESALE7
SKIRT: CHARITY SHOP
GREEN GLITTER TOP: *TOPSHOP
HOLOGRAPHIC PLATFORMS: TOPSHOP
SOCKS: TOPSHOP

I hope everyones having a fabulous christmas! Today is also my 5th blog birthday, its been half a decade ahhh!! I originally started my blog because it was Christmas and I was bored, and Myspace had died, and Facebook wasn't really cutting the mustard in terms of creative outlet. I joined Lookbook.nu at the start of December 2009 and ever since then I haven't really ever looked back. I never really expected my blog to turn into anything and I guess compared to the rest of the internet its just a tiny little ant going on an adventure in the world wide web... but its the best thing I've ever done in my life, probably. It even got me into LCF on the Womenswear BA course. So pretty much everything I've ever done for the past five years has been because of my blog and I think thats kinda cool. Obviously though without my amazing followers I probably would have never continued blogging, so thank you so much for following me!!!!

I thought I'd put together a little montage of all my favourite looks from the past five years, theres a lot of outfits so I've popped them into an 'Read More' post! I would have linked to all the separate outfit posts, but a lot of my old images have been deleted because I used to upload to imageshack and photobucket and various other places and, of course, those websites decided it would be fun to delete my images, so my archive is a bit of a mess! I hope you really like this post, Merry Christmas!!!!

DOG: LAND OF CUTE

Snowie decided she wanted to be in my outfit post today!!! Prudence decided she wanted to go back to her Mommy and tried to pull me over to get back to her haha! They're Westies if anyone was wondering and they're rescue dogs! We've had them since they were three years old and they are the best and they are always with me whenever I take photos, but for some reason I hardly ever include them in photos, so today I thought, dog photoshoot!!! Snowie is clearly a star.

Can you tell I haven't done my hair, oops, and the extreme wind meant it was blowing around and doing weird things but oh well! I'm also wearing the Public Desire boots which were named after me, they are so amazing I'm in love, and really easy to walk in, I think I'm going to be wearing them very often. I need to organise my shoe wardrobe because its getting rather large!

How unbelievably cool are these these glow trainers from Topshop??? They come in three different colours (Silver, Red, Black) and I love them allll!! Obviously, my favourites are the silver glow trainers and I was so excited for them to arrive! You have to charge them with a usb charger, which I think is really cool, and its kind of amusing because I'm really tempted to put them on charge and take a selfie next to them like "Just chargin ma trainers yknow normal stuff, nothing weird happening here".

I haven't worn them for a super long time, so I'm not sure what the battery life is like, but it says on the label that a 3-4 hour charge will last for up to 8-10 hours! Which is a long time considering you're probably not going to be walking around with flashing feet for 10 hours a day, or maybe you are, in which case congratulations on your dedication to having continuously glowing feet! Also I can confirm that they are indeed waterproof! I was really scared that wearing them in the rain might ruin them, but the label says they're waterproof which is very reassuring! Oooh I'm so excited to wear these again, they will probably be featuring in many an outfit post!

I decided to shoot at night because I wanted to show off the glowly-ness, it was freeeezing! I wish I had thought my coat situation through a little more, despite the fact I'm wearing two coats here! Also while we were shooting a security guard came up to us like 'er what are you doing... what are those things on your feet' and I was like TOPSHOP GLOW TRAINERS *dances* to which he must have thought me very odd and drove off haha!
