Life Update; New look, Nail art, Shingles and Michael Kors Dupe!

Just a quick update today :)

 

1. My blog got a makeover! The lovely Steph sorted me out and listened to everything I wanted. I'm really pleased by the overall look and I hope you guys are too!

2. Went to New Look today and got this fab cross ring and peace earrings. It's also buy one, get one free so both items only cost £2.99- Result :).  I also got these Nail Art things which I look forward to testing and blogging about soon!

3. I got Shingles, ouch. I took a very sexy picture of the scabby bits just for you guys. Luckily, I'm coming to the end of it, I've just got to leave it alone despite it being so itchy!

4. For Valentines, my boy got me this beautiful River Island watch which is a great dupe for the Michael Kors one I want. We had a great Valentines and went to watch our favourite Ice Hockey teams play against each other. Luckily for me, Sheffield won over Cardiff.

I'll be updating with a 'proper' post in the next few days so keep checking back ;)

OOTD: Casual Shopping

Hello lovelies. I'm now on 30 followers! That's 30 more than I ever thought I'd get and I'd like to say thank you!

I thought I'd share my OOTD with you but first, a disclaimer; 

I'm not particularly fashionable and I'm not a fashion blogger who can afford to wear everything from Topshop and Warehouse. I'm also not going to lie about what I wore that day and I'm not going to pretend I'm a size 6. If you don't like what stand for, then stop reading now :)

Now that's over with:

Dress: Mesh Skirt Dress, Matalan

Top: Plain black top, Primark

Leggings: New Look

Bag: New Look

This outfit is currently my go to outfit.  The long dress hides my fixation and my long bag doesn't get in the way of my crutches. The dress is also incredible comfortable. I'm looking to wear brighter clothes in 2013, but I do like my greys and blacks.

What is your 'go to' outfit?

Winter Graduation Outfit

On the 10th of January, I became a Master of Art in Philosophy. Choosing an outfit was difficult for the occasion for a number of reasons;

1. It was a graduation and the dress code states smart wear,
2. As it's winter, my outfit needed to be warm,
3. I needed  an outfit that wouldn't clash with my University colour of green and sash of pink,
4. Finally, I needed something that covered up the unsightly external fixation on my leg.

Overall, I think I done well choosing an outfit. The Skirt and Blouse were £25.00 each from River Island online. I ordered the Skirt in a size 14 and I'm 5'3 so it was an inch or so too long for me. The outfit was a hit as looked smart, it didn't clash with my graduation robes and the maxi skirt was perfect for covering my leg. The only problem with the outfit was that the light materials did not keep me warm but had my graduation been in the summer, I would give 10/10.

I accessorised the entire outfit with a cute gold ear cuff and a bangle stack in peach and gold from New Look. The shoes were a nude ballet pump from Internacionale. 

Everyone commented how good I looked and I really did feel it.

What outfit would you wear to a winter graduation?
