All Work & No Play

Image from Tumblr

So this is basically what my work load looks like right now eventhough my deadlines are looming. I have been non-stop working for the last two weeks to get all of my uni work done but I had a little set back last Wednesday which led to me then being two days behind schedule. I've got an essay due on Thursday and the rest of my work is due on Friday. Talk about it all coming at once! I've also been given another project to do which I need to start after Friday so I don't really get any rest.

I cannot wait until everything is handed in. I doubt I will be 100% happy with everything as I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but I know how hard I've worked so hopefully the people marking my work will notice that. It's always a worry wondering what grade your going to get for your work, isn't it? Has anyone else got any deadlines/exams coming up?

Well anyway, I better get back to the work load! Wish me luck!

Hat:  New Look

Fringe:  Ebay

Necklace:  New Look

Top:  New Look

Jeans:  New Look

Boots:  New Look

Ok so I finally have time inbetween writing my essay to upload my outfit from Sunday. I was working, hence why everything bar the fringe is from New Look, so I didn't have time to take photo's of my outfit so I took them yesterday instead but then I was too busy with uni work in the evening to blog the outfit. Such a polava.

But anyway I was wearing all black, which is very unusal for me, however I think the chunky necklace just gives the outfit an edge and therefore doesn't need any colour to make it more interesting. What do you think? I bought the necklace the weekend before last, I'd been eyeing it up for a couple of weeks until there were only three left and I didn't want to chance going another week without it. Necklace's like this don't need to have a colourful or interesting outfit to go with because it does it on it's own, it just makes the outfit and just complete's it. I have to confess I didn't actually wear the boots to work as I haven't worn them out for a whole day yet so I didn't want to risk it so I wore my usual ankle boots, but I do prefer the wedge boots. Plus I'm wearing jeans! I sometimes wear jeans around the house but not often, even my boyfriend said he can't remember the last time I wore jeans!

Right, I better get back on the essay writing ban-waggon! Wish me luck everyone, I really, really need it! Have a good day!

Sneak Peak

Hey everyone! I didn't have time to take full outfit photo's today because I had work, but I did manage to take a little photo to give you a sneak peak of what I am wearing today (excuse the towels in the background, typical bathroom picture!). As you can see I'm wearing my new clip-in fringe. It's the first time I have properly worn it and I have to say it didn't annoy me at all! Horray! So anyway, I'm going to take some photo's tomorrow of what I was wearing today so I can post the full outfit. Hope everyone has had a good weekend!

DIY Tutorial: Shorts

Hey lovelies! As I mentioned yesterday I wear my grey DIY shorts way too much and I found a pair of my Dad's black trousers the other day which he gave to me to cut up ages ago, so I decided to make them into shorts and do a DIY for them. What you will need is:

Trousers

Fabric Scissors

Thread

Pins

Sewing Machine/ Needle if you're hand sewing

Step 1. Get yourself a pair of trousers that you want to turn into shorts.

Step 2. Cut the legs to just below the length you want them to be. You need to leave enough room for a hem.

Step 3. If the trousers are too big the put them on and measure how much you need to take in each side. Then take them off and pin all the way down each leg.

Step 4. Sew along the pinned line (remembering to take out the pins of course!)

Step 5. Turn up the bottoms of the shorts twice so that you don't have a raw edge showing and sew that. It's always good to keep measuring as you take them up too so that each leg is the same length.

Step 6. You're done! That's basically it! I've also changed the button to a nicer one too. I hope this tutorial was helpful, let me know if you try it! Enjoy :)

Hat:  New Look

Necklace:  Isle of White Festival

Top:  Ralph Lauren, Vintage shop in Paris

Shorts:  DIY/Self Made

Boots:  New Look

Hello all! Not sure if anyone saw my post below but I was having trouble uploading photo's for a couple of days but it's back working again so here is my outfit post from yesterday. I got this new hat at the weekend for £4 in New Look! Complete Bargain. I've also won a proper bowler hat on ebay so that should be here some when soon, very excited! This one is a bit more of a 'pie hat', as my Dad likes to call it, and is slightly grey with a ribbon around it so I am quite pleased because the bowler hat from ebay is black and a proper bowler hat so now I'll have the best of both worlds! I'm wearing my Ralph Lauren shirt today, which I found in a vintage shop in Paris in Feburary last year (I cannot tell you how much I wan't to go back!!), tucked into my grey DIY shorts with a red plait belt, plain black tights and black ankle boots.

I've decided I wear these shorts way too often, mainly because they go with everything, but I recently found some of Dad's old trousers which are black so I'm thinking of turning them into some more shorts like I did these ones. That means another DIY post to go on the list! I promice I will do all of these DIY posts as soon as I've handed in my work next Friday.

I also recieved my clip-in fringe in the post on Tuesday. It is unfortunately slightly darker than my hair in certain lights so it's not something I will wear too often, but to be honest I haven't tried it with my hair straight yet so I may do that tomorrow and it may look better. But what do you think? I fooled everyone on my facebook into thinking it was a real fringe for a while and everyone loved it!

Anyway, enough of my rambling! Hope everyone has had a good week! If you haven't already add me on twitter and follow me on bloglovin' below please :)

Trouble uploading photos..

Hey everyone! I just wondered if anyone else is having trouble uploading photos to their posts? I click on 'browse' and choose my image and then it looks like it's uploading but then says 'error' and doesn't upload the photo. I've tried uploading different images, images I've already posted (just incase) but it still won't work and it won't even work on my Dad's laptop either. So I just wondered if anyone else is having/had the same problems or if anyone could help? It's been like this for two days now.

It's such a shame because I have so much to post aswell! I have today's outfit, which can be found on Lookbook, if your interested, here, and I was going to show some sneak previews of some DIY posts that will be coming up soon.

Anyway, hopefully I'll be back soon once I've found out what the problem is!

Make it mine

Topshop:  £35.00

Topshop:  £30.00

Asos:  £42.00

Asos:  £25.00

I thought seeing as I won't be posting many outfits over the next 2 weeks that I'd post more things that I would like to buy and do more inspirational posts instead. So here I have collected a few items from Topshop and Asos to show you the things I would really love to buy right now but really shouldn't due to funds! I did buy this cheeky little hat at work today though. I've been wanting a bowler hat for goodness know how long now and I finally bid on one last night on ebay, and then I went into work today and saw this one for £4 in the sale! It was the only one left so I didn't want to risk it not being there by next week. I think it looks quite good, what do you think? For £4 you can't really go wrong can you?
