I'm lost in sleep

Old pictures I forgot to post! I love this Motel body. Most of the clothes I wear at the moment are Motel, I picked up a few sale pieces and was treated to a few bits for my birthday. These Hillary bodies are perfect to dress up or down; I wear mine with shorts, maxi skirts, midi's and minis! They go with literally anything and everything, and when you can pick them up in the sale for £12 you can't afford not to!

You can't really tell in the photos but I'm wearing a fossil necklace. As a child I loved rocks and fossils, I wanted to be a geologist! This fossil is an Orthoceras, 400million years old and one of the earliest recognised animals! I've had it for a couple of years now but completely forgot I had it; I think it's beautiful and can't believe it's so old! I have a few more pieces which have fossils in, I'll get round to wearing them on the blog soon :)

(P.S. Are my pictures really pixelly lately or is it just me?)

Oh my god, I can't believe my commitment so showing off my aztec dress! You totally can't see it under my fur coat, so I had to brave the freezing weather! About 10minutes after taking these yesterday, it started snowing, and now my car is buried to the top of it's tyres in snow! I'm meant to be delivering Dominos pizza tonight, I'm pretty scared.

The lovely El from MeeMee sent me this gorgeous dress a couple of months ago, but due to a lack of camera I've had a hard time blogging. I think that's why I look so miserable in the first picture; it's been SO long since I did blog photos I've forgotten what to do! Cue awkward face. I love the print on this dress, and I don't think I've ever owned a dress is this colour and I really love the change! It's got a zip down the front too. I've been wearing it with a sheer black vest over it, or tucked into my studded leather skater skirt, but today I decided to keep it simple so that you guys could see it properly. It's only £16 as well, and today MeeMee have 20% off using the code FACEBOOKLOVE20 so treat yourself on this horrible snow day!

I've finished my exams and I'm about to start my final semester at uni. As much as I can't wait for the stresses of deadlines to be over, I don't ever want to leave! I think a Masters may be in the pipeline...Hope you enjoy the snow, I'm going to stay as far away from it as possible! I HATE being cold :(!

you're the limb I've lost but somehow I still feel it

Crazy sunny day! Regretted not putting my sunnies on. Here's my gorgeous new motel dress! I absolutely love this style with the deep cut arms and high neck, it's so 90s! And I managed to pick it up in the sale for £18 :)! The purple version is sold out now unfortunately but you can get the blue version here for £35. I love wearing this on its own or with a sheer vest over the top, or with my staple black skater skirt, and with my standard dark lip. I've unintentionally lost a stone and a half recently and I feel much more comfortable wearing bodycon, so I've been stocking up on a few motel dresses. This one is my favourite, but I also bought this one (which is also no longer available online), and I've got my eye on this gorgeous zabby one. I tried to buy it today but it was out of stock in my size, boo! I actually got an invite from the lovely Selina at Motel to their Motel event in just over a week! I'm going with my sister and I'm really excited! Let me know if you're going :)

I'll follow you into the dark

Say hello to my cat Bubble :)! She's such an affectionate cat, so when I'm outside taking photos she just wont leave me alone, my sister spends the whole time shouting 'bubble' so she goes to her instead ha! But I guess blogging and cats go hand in hand so I popped a picture of her in here.

I should have got a picture of my top without the coat on but it was soooo cold I didn't even think about taking the jacket off, but you totally can't see the leopard print cross. It's that top that every blogger had last year I think, but I still love throwing it on. Managed to pick up the leather panelled skirt for a fiver recently, couldn't even believe it! Such a bargain.

Just a quick one today because I have a full day of uni followed by work (I'm a Dominos delivery driver, very glamorous!) Let me know if you're going to the Motel christmas party! I've fallen out of the twitter loop and don't really know where to begin with all the x factor tweets that mean nothing to me :/ Have a lovely day guys :) x

don't talk to strangers.

I'm just not destined to be a regular blogger am I? I'd love to blog more often, I really miss not only posting, but reading everyone's blogs, finding that new source of inspiration that makes me mix up my wardrobe! The only reason I haven't been able to keep up my regular posts is because I struggle to feel comfortable in front of a camera unless certain people are behind it - these are taken by my lovely twin sister.

I have been wearing this jacket every day pretty much since French Connection gifted it to me. Now please excuse me while I gush because I just adore it - and not because it was gifted. I'd actually been eyeing up this jacket to buy for myself when I received the email asking me if I'd like to choose an item - I'm not the kind of blogger that would ever lose their integrity for a free gift! I will always be honest. Back to the jacket! It's not real leather, but I honestly could never tell until I read it on the website. It is just the perfect biker jacket don't you think? It has quilted shoulder and quilted elbow patches, and is the perfect length to throw on over dresses or over a hoodie and leggings to uni in the freezing cold Staffordshire weather! I've been wearing it daily for over three months now too and it's still in perfect condition with no rips in the lining or anything (don't you find that happens with EVERY leather jacket? Drives me mad) so I can say wholeheartedly that it is excellent quality too! It is literally the perfect biker and I am so happy with it and grateful to French Connection for giving it to me :)

I picked up this top in the sale at Topshop for £7.50! I really love the print as it has Daisies on it! Motel have some gorgeous items for sale at the moment but I'll post more on that another time - I've had a bit of a motel binge recently and bought three of their bodies and 2 bodycon (!! not like me!) dresses, I love them! I wear this shaped skirt all the time at the moment, I just think it's so flattering, so expect to see my black and leather versions pretty regularly!

I hope you're all enjoying the autumny sun, I think this is the last week where everything will look pretty with the crispy leaves on the floor until it rains and all turns to slippery sludge and I end up falling on my bum! And I JUST realised - HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)! I should have done a halloweeny post...Maybe after the weekend of celebrations!
