Outfit One- Top(Actually dress)-Primark, Origami Skirt-Topshop, Scarf-H&M, Brooch-Vintage, Shoes-New Look.

Outfit Two- Shorts,Bag-Vintage, Top-Zara, Scarf-H&M, Jacket-Thrifted, Jewelry-Thrift/Gift, Shoes-New Look.

Okay, Apologies for lack of posts of late, overload of work+not feeling so well=not a great time.

But ahh well, as of next Wednesday I will feel slightly more free as all three big deadlines will be dealt with, at least free for a little while.

Anyway, last night, bonfire night, yet also my friend Josh's birthday, soo we went to Lauras, ate food a la Tesco et Vino, complete with sparklers and a few fireworks. A nice night if we do say so. I wore the vintage shorts/zara blouse combo. Was really pleased when I finally bought these shorts, I'd had my eye on them and was so pleased to find them still around in my one stop vintage shop in town during a free.

The other outfit was for work today, apparently running around looking for tops to go with skirts at a horrible time in the morning doesn't work, but I thought the jumper dress underneath worked rather well.

Hope you've all had some nice nights, and happy fireworks, those are a couple of photos I managed to take tonight from the windows, as you do. I love the last one, the style reminds me of this artist I've just found, Boldini. I'm planning to do a couple of studies from him, so shall post when done:)

Ps, thanks to RomanceIsBoring for mentioning me in her '7blogs7days' post.

Through A Cats Eyes.

 

-Dress-UO, Shoes-Matalan, Bag-Vintage, Mask-Me!

So these are a few photos from the party on Friday.

It went really well, loaads turned up and it was really great!

Ended up being quite pleased with my mask, although now I've had to break the stick off and use the ribbon that was around it for work, Ahh well.

There's a photo of me and Laura there too, she ended up going as the sun and the moon, with a mask painted in glittery nail varnish, I won't lie, it was very cool. Also there's a photo of friends bands playing, they were really good, and all the others!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend/Hallowe'en:)

The Rose Garden.

"Ali Lagarde is the farthest thing from a wall flower in photographer Akila Berjaoui’s latest work entitled, The Rose Garden. Styled by Leticia Dare, Ali sports vibrant and youthful looks as she explores the city. /Makeup by Des Wyse"

I love the feeling of spring and summer in these photos, despite the autumnal turn outside. The colours are amazing, and the styling is perfect.

And Oh, how I want a fur coat.

A Masked Ball Approach.

-via weheartit.

So as the party on Friday approaches my idea for a costume has become a mask. I have a black dress that would fit well into my chosen outfit, and so, as I already own the main part of the outfit, it was decided.

I'm now making a cat mask, on a stick, hence the 'masked ball approach.'

It may or may not work, but hey. I think there is a possibility of three of us going as cats, but, yano, great minds think alike and that :)

Also today me and my momsie took a train ride to Nottingham Trent Uni, which I loved.

Now just to get this long ucas process a go-go.

Hazy Days.

- Top/dress & Shoes-Topshop, Scarf-H&M, Leggings/Socks-?, Belt-Zara, Pearls-Thrift, Necklace-Vintage, Rings/Bracelets-Thrifted/Gifted.

Yesterday I took a wander to Leeds, a bit of shopping.

I came back with some goodies, and not too bad a hit to the bank balance, which is always a good thing.

A couple of things I ended up with were the top above, plus the scarf. I love the colours, the muted contrasting with the bold mustard-y colour.

Anyway, walking along today wrapped up with my new scarf and jacket, the season change hit me. That's it, autumn is here:)

A Little Bit'a Glitz.

-Jacket-Thrift, Jeans-Primark, Everything else-Vintage. 

These were from Friday, just a night in+friends & Chinese food.

We lead great lives, don't we? :)

I bought this top from a stall at Leeds Fest last year, and not normally being one for sequins, somehow fell in love.

Anyway, celebration of a whole week off. Granted a tonne of work, but also maybe a shopping trip, and some partying!

My friend Andy is putting a big party on for Halloween next Friday, four bands are playing, and I'm helping out with tickets/wristbands and generally getting there early, watch soundchecks etc. It fancy dress might I add, and I have noo clue. I really need to start thinking.

Any ideas?:)

Hopes the weekend was great for yous:)
