we have neither the plans nor disguises



coat; forever21 / shirt; vintage / leggings; eBay / flatforms; asos / necklace; h&m / earrings; topshop/ lipstick; estee lauder plum couture.

need to acknowledge the state of my hands; I'm not self harming, it's my kitten! stop with the formspringzzz


Hii! I'm a bad blogger aren't I? I swear that's all I ever type in my posts. I had some personal stuff I had to sort out which is why I've been absent of late, plus, I just find I don't have time when I'm at uni. I'm always hungover or napping, sorry! I am SO grateful to have hit 550 followers already though, that's more than one new subscriber every day this year! So thank you for following and sticking with my sporadic ways :)! (are smiley faces blog appropriate? probably not...)

So, I got this coat in Forever21 a fair few weeks ago. I saw it was a small and tried it on, but it was huge. I fell in love with the oversized sort of 90s look about it though (I've had a lot of This is England comments...) and it wasn't until I'd been wearing it for a fortnight that I realised it was a mans coat; oops. If anything though, it's taught me to shop in mens section more often; this was only £12.99 in the sale! I adore my flatforms which I got with a 25% discount code on ASOS; can't stop wearing them! They're just like the Office ones I've been lusting after since I saw the beautiful Charlene wearing hers, but I couldn't afford the hefty price tag, so I'm dead pleased ASOS answered my wishes for a pair; in suede too, my favourite material.

OH HAIIII DISCO PANTS! Not really lolz. Everyone's going mad for them, and although I do like them, I don't know where the sudden hype has come from? They've been around for literally about ten years. I've had these eBay versions for probably a year now (still available via LetsParty, I also have the burgundy and lilac (!) ) but I never wear them as I tend to only wear tights and skirts, but I do really like these with my flatforms. I've worn this outfit three times this week; that's gross isn't it? But it's just so easy to throw on. I actually have three pairs of leggings on here and two long sleeved tops under that shirt, so it's surprisingly cosy. I can see myself teaming more longer tops with leggings from now on - but don't worry; I will NOT be sporting that leggings as trousers look any time soon. Anyway, I'm boring myself. Hope everyones uni results are going well! I get mine a week today, nervous! Oh and if you're a real person and work; HEY WEEKEND :D!

Sorry these images lack continuity in lighting etc, we messed up the settings on the camera and I am too tired to edit them properly!

HELLO! So sorry it's been forevs, I've been shattered since freshers, it absolutely ruined me. Three years doing it and I should know better - had to leave my first lecture to throw up I was so hungover, I was so embarassed. The worst bit? It was this image that induced it in my Gender in Cinema module, so horrible! Anyway, vomiting aside, I'm loving being back at uni but I completely forgot how hectic it was! So no doubt my blogging will be sporadic as ever, apologies in advance!

I love this skirt, I bought it a few days ago and then the beautiful Lily posted an outfit including hers. I love how she wore hers with a jumper over it and I will definitely be trying it soon for uni! One of my favourite things about blogging is seeing how many different ways people wear the same piece!

I'm a little bit obsessed with leather at the moment, I bought this gorgeous dress from Missguided the other day and can't wait to wear it. I think I could wear this in the day with the cardigan I've got on in these pictures, because it's so big (I double sized up! I love massive cardigans at the moment) it would dress it down a bit. I also bought a bodycon black leather dress from h&m the other day. I have no idea why because it looks like fetish wear, but then Maria tweeted me saying I could wear it with a jumper over the top, a look I've since tried and LOVE, and I'll be so cosy in the winter!

Anyway, I should be getting to bed really because I've got a 9-5 day tomorrow (who said Media was a doss course? Holla!) and then I'm giving blood later, I can't wait to give blood as I've wanted to for so long but whenever I've gone to the drop in centre there's always a huge wait. I managed to get an appointment this time and I'm going to register to donate bone marrow soon too. You never know who your close to that may need these things, and as I suffer with bad kidneys, you never really know what's around the corner so I hope this brings me a bit of good karma, cos God knows I need it!

I hope you're all well and you enjoyed your freshers and are settling into uni well! I found that a lot of people left me formspring messages about starting uni and if you want me to help you with anything like, how to get your messy/loud flatmate to sort it out, feel free to contact me there and I'll do my best to help!

Media Studies; A Reader.

Is ruining my whole entire life. This is me for the next few days;
Media Studies; A Reader. Media Studies; A Reader.
100% unedited, yes, this is what I actually look like when the only place I'm going to is the 24 hour library.
So this is just a post to say, see you on Monday, as that is when my life will resume. Wish me luck in my horrific exams on Wednesday and Friday :( P.S. Look how thin this model is on ASOS! Can't believe they'd employ her, she's like a rake, not pretty at all.
