OOTD: You're on a different road, I'm in the milky way... :)

Today I seem to be rocking the granny shoes and socks look...

Dress: Forever 21

Top: Hype

Cardigan: Depop

Shoes: Topshop

Socks: Boots

I have worn these shoes a lot since I bought them, they've appeared in my last three OOTD posts now! So yes, I like them quite a lot! And Topshop has them in different colours... 😏

The flower garland in my hair was something that my friend gave me yesterday, and I really like it but I'm not sure where it's from. Although there's a stall in camden and I think they sell online too, called PoppyDaisy that have really nice flower headbands like this one 😊

Outfit Of The Day: CraZy CraZy CraZy till we see the sun!

Not the most formal "outfit of the day", but here is my outfit for New Years Eve:

 Cropped cream knit jumper from Hollister, this jumper is really soft and very comfortable even after washing, it goes with most trousers, shorts, skirts etc and the sleeves are a nice length for my extra long arms.

Black velvet type material shorts from Forever 21, got these in the sale for £4.99 (BARGAIN!), simple design but go great with tights for in the winter and would match most t-shirts in the summer.

Black oversized furry handbag with brown straps, I actually got this bag for Christmas a few years ago from Paul's Boutique (*Cringe* I know), although I am usually against the Paul's Boutique brand while looking on their website for my cousins present I saw this, and unlike most of their products it wasn't luminous green or orange with PAUL'S BOUTIQUE plastered on every square inch, so once removing the weird colourful pom pom keyring it came with you can't even tell where it's from, and quite a lot of people usually comment on how nice it is!

My bracelet is quite "jazzy" with a row of silver sparkly beads in a black thread, my friends mum actually made this for me but you can get them in most places now in most colours for quite cheap prices.

Anyway so that was my New Years Eve outfits, while some people were in pubs getting drunk we went for a rather different approach for seeing in the new year, we ended up putting on the onesies, watching the Alan Carr special, listening to One Direction, eating chocolate, trying on Erin's wardrobe and we even ended up sticking on some fake moustaches Erin got for Christmas.... as you do! 

Last Evening of 2012 well spent I think :)

£3.99 dress? Neverrr.....

Black flowery dress - Forever 21 - Pre Christmas sale - £3.99

As sad as this is I've got to admit that buying this lovely dress for £3.99 in the pre Christmas sale is one of my biggest and proudest achievements of 2012. While shopping for late Christmas presents of onesies, hand creams and perfumes I decided to have a quick peak in Forever 21 in Bluewater shopping centre, and thank God I did! After searching round for a few minutes looking through racks of clothes that were in odd sizes I came across a rack full of these amazing dresses for £3.99 each, and I knew when I saw it and figured out that yes they really did mean the dress was that cheap that I had to buy it. 

The good thing about this dress is its stretchy material meaning (being 5ft 10) I could easily pull it down slightly so it wasn't too short, however if you did want it shorter it wouldn't look miss-shaped and rolled up. Also it can be worn dressy with heels and sparkly bracelets or less formal with tights and boots.

After looking round the Pre-Christmas sales and the Boxing day sales I can safely say I preferred the Pre-Christmas sales just because everything was more organised, there were less crowds and you could actually find reasonable items for cheap prices in smaller sizes. I found the Boxing Day sales to be unorganised and honestly and mess of weird sizes and patterns, definitely a disappointment compared to last year although I did find a nice belt for £1.99 :)

Outfit of The Day - Beckyyy

We actually have someone else for the "Outfit of the Day" post today...BECKY DENNIS!!

Her outfit was amazing and I really wanted to steal it to be honest especially the shorts!

My favourite piece were her grey and white, high waisted, vintage chequered shorts which she got from Forever 21 for only £12, I was actually really surprised how nice they were for only £12, might have to go get some :)

Becky's blazer was a black, tailored blazer from Pull & Bear with a gold button at the front and 3/4 length sleeves with turned up ends in light bluey white colour. Being quite tall (5ft 11), having 3/4 length sleeves avoids the problem of having too short sleeves, (good tip there for all the tall people!)

Price: £26

The blouse was a cream colour with a ruffle down the front in the same type material, the blouse is from Hollister and is £38, quite expensive compared to the price of the shorts however Hollister's clothing is always such a good fit and quality you get what you pay for, also it smells really nice when you first buy it (like everything from Hollister), always a bonus!

Becky paired her outfit with black patent flat shoes from Dorothy Perkins for £16 creating a classic and fashionable tailored look!

Still very much jealous of this outfit!

*P.S Becky's first time being on a blog (she was very happy ahahaaa) everyone say hi to her on twitter @Becks97_ and go follow her, she's cool!"

Spare £20? Go Forever 21!

 The love for Forever 21 continues....

I got each of these for under £20 each which is like the main reason I LOVE FOREVER 21!!!

Got to love a bit of extra pattern!

Simple black dress? Yess please

Who doesn't love pink lace?

Got to admit it's a great feeling when you buy a piece of clothing and you can cover it with a £20 note and still get change... especially when you see like a similar thing in Topshop for like £45 and with the money you saved you can go buy something else woooo!

And like last month I was in Forever 21 in Westfield Stratford which has like 3 floors full of clothes (IT'S AMAZING!) and obviously I found something (like always...): a bluey green, long sleeve lace dress. To be honest I loved it so much that I didn't really look at the price and just guessed it was somewhere around £30, so I got to the counter with £30 in my hand really hoping that it would cover it. The lady scanned it and BAM..... it came up as £12.99! Such a good feeling when you find something you really like that's really cheap and doesn't look like it's about to fall apart. That was a good day! 

So if you haven't been in a Forever 21 yet your life is lacking and you need need need to go A.S.A.P!

Forever 21 outfit!

By looking at pictures of outfits I have worn I've kind of figured out I tend to wear clothes from the same shop in an outfit, coincidence or not this outfit is all from my fave shop EVER.......

FOREVER 21

Right so I wore this to a gathering type thing in September, it was still warmish and it was indoors so I didn't freeze or anything which is always good.

Right the shoes are pale pink lace pumps (around £15 I think), they are really pretty shoes but they kind of cut my feet the first few times I wore them but then they were quite cheap so I can't really complain. however after wearing them a few times they are now fine and I can wear them like anywhere. Thinking about it these are from New Look actually, kind of ruins the title but oh well :)

The T-Shirt you cant particularly see but it is pale pink top with white lace shoulders, (£12.99) the material is quite thin and baggy but tucked into a skirt I think goes well. It also matched the shoes which I always love because sometimes you create a really good outfit but then you can't find any shoes which go, so you change outfits and it's kind of depressing, so plan shoes when planning an outfit.

The skirt is a pale brown short skirt with pleats at the front, it was £19.99 and goes with quite a lot of tops, the fact that it's plain means you can kind of wear it with anything even the most patterned shirt ever. The only thing about this skirt is I think it needs a belt on the waist to look good (especially as I bought mine way too big), I'm not sure where my belt is from but it is good for the skirt as it stretchy!

I also wore this same outfit out 2 days ago shopping with a Long sleeve pink lace top (once again Forever 21 £19.99) and a pink ruffle belt from Erin's wardrobe (I kind of wanted to steal the belt tbh it was so nice...)

Moral of the post: Everyone needs to go check out Forever 21 because it's so cheap...GO!
