Tis the season to be jolly

It was the work christmas do last night and it was a free bar, So naturally I took full advantage if this, so much so that my manager commented on me drinking the bar dry. Well Im a student so im all over free things. It was a brilliant night, we went to a Greek restaurant in town. I must have spent the whole time on the dance floor according to the photos posted on facebook. I never realised what silly faces I pull while dancing!

Anyway I wore my beloved leather shorts out. I was more excited about wearing these for the first time than I was the fact I was going out intially haha! They are my new favourite things and im already putting together outfits that I can wear next time im invited out that include the beauties.
Ive tried to show you the pussy bow in the blouse but its not turned out too successful!

Horseshoe Blouse: Primark

Leather Shorts: Topshop

Tights: Primark

Shoes: New Look

Charm bracelet: Links of London

Nail Varnish: Rimmel

I havent got a picture of my shoes because I was taking it from a funny angle they all looked like I has thunder thighs! But I wore my black wedges from New Look that I have featured a few posts down.

1 Christmas party down and 4 to go!

Fashion Icon Friday

I thought I would start a few regular features so not all my posts sound the same. Throw a little imagination out there.

So I came up with Fashion Icon Friday (I've got others but we are not on the right day) where I post lots of pretty pictures and write about fashion icons that have been inspiring me recently.
Carey Mulligan is an English actress, most famous for her role in An Education where she was a BAFTA award in 2009. She was also nominated for a golden globe and an Oscar. She frequently appears in best dressed lists for her vintage inspired style and cute pixie crop. Her most recent film was Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps which she starred in with Michael Douglas and Shia LaBI am a huge dress fan, over 50 and counting, and this girl gives me major dress envy. She always looks so naturally beautiful. She never has the make up caked on and never has too much flesh on show. She is pure elegance. I much prefer her with the pixie crop than her longer hair, I wish I was brave enough to go for the chop. She just as good in her casual attire as she does when she scrub up on the carpet. An amazingly talented actress and a fashion icon, some women have it all!

This is my favourite dress. The pleats, colour and length all make me drool. Its the perfect dress and would look amazing hanging up in my wardrobe!


All images are from various sources on google.


Also id like to say a quick hello and thank you to my new followers. I know five is not ground breaking but its made me so happy to think someone enjoys my ramblings! Thank you very much!

Just another girl who is going to rule the world.

Ok so I am finally getting over my hangover from Friday night, yes you read that correctly my hangover has lasted 3 days. Its tragic and wrecked my diet as all I have is eat junk food in an attempt to feel normal. Really must get into the swing of healthy living again tomorrow.

But here is another attempt at an outfit post. Again it is in my room which is again cluttered. I feel a tad embaressed asking my mum to take pictures of me while I pose and I can never position the camera right so that I can get a whole outfit shot. But I am trying, hopefully Ill get it right! I would be greatful for any tips! I also feel ever so awkward posing, not at all a natural. I envy anyone who can work the camera!

This is what I wore out Friday night, I had to go to work the next day on four hours sleep which was not fun at all.


Please ignore the dress hanging up ready for work the next day!

Just for clarification the bra is a nude colour, not white! I dont want people to think I wear white bras under black, its my pet hate haha! But I needed a strapless bra and its the only one I had!

What I wore:
One armed rouched body - Next
Tulle skirt - Next
Tights- Primark
Cameo braclet - Market
Shoes - Next


This is one of my best friends who I went out with. Isnt she beautiful? Its always a lethal combination when we go out, our boyfriends panic! You always have to have a token wetherspoons toilet shot. I am looking extremely happy because I was on my second bottle of wine at this point! It ws starting to take effect!
