What I Wore on Holiday

Hello!

As you might know, I recently visited St Ives with my mum for a week long break away. We had a really lovely time - went for walks on the beach, did a little shopping, had toooo many sweet treats and just had a lot of fun!

In August last year I went to France for a holiday and took photos of my outfits each day, so I thought I'd do the same thing on this holiday. I'm really sorry that there aren't any full length photos, the way the room was arranged meant I couldn't take them in the mirror. But you'll still get the idea. Hope you like them!

On this day, I wore Joni Super High Waisted jeans from Topshop, a white long length vest top from H&M and this pretty top from Oasis which has a swan print.

This dress is from New Look and has a daisy print. It looks, for some reason, like I'm wearing thigh high socks in this picture - I'M NOT! It's just my hairbrush on the dressing table at an unfortunate height. I wore this dress with nude tights (granny, haha) and the yellow cardigan featured in the photo below.

Another pair of Joni jeans, this time in the hyper blue shade, with a ditsy print ruffle top from Oasis and a cardigan from Dorothy Perkins. I also had a black H&M vest top underneath.

Same pair of jeans as in the first photo, with another white vest from H&M and a pussy bow blouse from Oasis. The cardigan is from New Look.

Tried a different angle this day, but I don't think it was any better! Dress from New Look with a cardigan from Next. I wore Topshop heavyweight leggings with this.

Finally, Joni jeans from Topshop, a white vest and a pink top from Oasis. I didn't take a photo of the back, but it's really nice - it has gold buttons down where your spine would be.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Fake New Year

Hello again!

So this year, not only did I celebrate New Year's Eve on the 31st, but one of my lovely friends organised a Fake New Year's Eve for us too. Unfortunately, at this time of our lives, me and my friends are all doing different things in different places, so it's very rare that we're all able to get together and do something. Real New Year's Eve was really good fun, but a much smaller, more chilled affair than usual, which was why it was nice to do Fake New Year which was a little more, well, a little more!

I thought I'd share with you the outfit I wore for this get together:


Sorry about the dusty mirror, I didn't realise how bad it was but I was just too tired to clean it and then take the photo again.

I wore another dress from Oasis (http://www.oasis-stores.com///oasis/fcp-product/4470124926#GBP) which was £48, though I was able to use my student discount which made it cheaper.

Then I wore fleece lined black tights from Debenhams (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_081010530160_-1) again, which saved me during a 12am walk to the beach - madness!

Then I wore my heeled ankle boots also from Debenhams, by Mantaray (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_050010110060_-1) which are £49 and serving me brilliantly!

My make-up was the same as what I wore for my friends festive drinks, which I'll link just here (http://elizabeebee.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/festive-drinks-make-up-look.html)

And that was everything!

Pantomime OOTD

Hello again!

On the 4th of January I went to see a pantomime with my mum, Godmother and my Godmother's family. We've been to see it every year since I was about 8, and we always go to the Rock'n'Roll Panto at The New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich. This year was Dick Whittington and as always it was great fun. This year was extra special because we all witnessed the actor playing King Rat (Dan De Cruz) proposing to his partner live onstage. She said yes which led to a standing ovation and a lot of awww's for the happy couple. Here's a link to BBC article about it:

And a link to the theatre website, in case any local people want to buy tickets for future productions:
http://www.wolseytheatre.co.uk/

So, I thought I'd share with you the outfit I wore for our fun family night out.


Please do excuse the flash and my horribly messy room - I'm in the middle of a BIG clear out so everything is slightly muddled at the moment!

I wore a dress from Oasis (http://www.oasis-stores.com///oasis/fcp-product/3770036037#GBP) which was £45, though I was able to use my student discount which made it cheaper.

Then I wore fleece lined black tights from Debenhams (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_081010530160_-1) which are AMAZING in this cold weather. I'm not sure if the link I've given you is for the same tights I bought, however it's close enough.

Then I wore heeled ankle boots also from Debenhams, by Mantaray (http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_050010110060_-1) which are £49. I bought then when there was an across store discount so they were only about £36, sorry they're more expensive now if you're interested. I really do recommend them though, they're great boots!

And that was everything!

Outfit of the Day

Hello readers! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and here's to a very Happy New Year!

Yes, yes, I haven't blogged in ages - I knowwwww, I'm really bad at this. However, that's a resolution of mine as I want to take this blog seriously (well, as serious as I can be about anything...) and try really hard to create something that hopefully people will enjoy reading regularly.

So, to get back into things, here's an outfit of the day post. It wasn't actually worn today, in fact it's from a few weeks ago, but I still thought it was worth sharing.


My jumper was bought last January, so unfortunately will not be available (except for maybe on ebay if you're very lucky), but I got it from Topshop for around £25. Isn't the little raccoon just SO cuuuuuute?! I love himmmm! The only problem with it is that the wool is a tad itchy. I have very sensitive skin so maybe it's just me, haha!

The jeans are also from Topshop and much to my dispair are also discontinued, which is so sad because they're AMAZING! They were the Kristen style and were £40. Now these do come up on ebay so if you're interested, then do keep an eye out for them. They're great for girls like me with bigger hips and they're super high waisted so keep everything nicely tucked in. I'm on a mission to find some replacements in another style - comment below if you know of any!

My stud earring was part of a mix and match set, which was also from Topshop and all the ear cuffs are non-pierced and from amazon - they were really cheap too, all around £1/£1.50 each.

Very comfy and cosy for this chilly, chilly weather!
