Tea dresses and leather

Jacket-Warehouse//Dress-Topshop//Boots-Head over Heels by Dune

My first outfit post in what feels like forever! I have roped one of my flatmates into taking these for me, and I really have to invest in a tripod. This dress sums up my style in one item. I like dress, collars and pleats, so this has all three. I like the contrast between the leather and the girliness of the dress. It is a bit of a tight fit though, so I probably should have bought a size bigger. (Or maybe I should just not have eaten that entire bag of mini eggs yesterday?!)

Wearing this today was definitely a mistake, as it looked deceptively warm this morning, and I regretted not wearing a coat the moment I stepped outside. When will winter push off and leave us alone? I would quite like it to be summer already. I have a lot of cute summer clothes in my 'save for later' basket on Asos and I want to be able to buy them with a chance of wearing them.  

Boohoo competition: #PartyPose

Boohoo are currently running a blogging competition called #PartyPose, in which you have to create your ideal party outfit from boohoo products for under £100.

This outfit is the items I chose. The dress is the Christa embellished dress (£35) and I love the simplicity of it, as well as the tutu style skirt! I also chose the Kate shoes (£45) and the Millie clutch (£18) as I think the black would offset the white dress perfectly, and make it a simple monochrome look.

The shoes are also available in a gorgeous Mint colour that I might just invest in!

The grand total of my outfit is: £98

Just in under budget! phew! If you want to enter, you can find all the details here. Good luck!

Weekly Wishlist #2

Well, that week went by very quickly! I lost track of time and didn't post at all! apologies for that, and hello to all my new followers I believe I've gained three of you since I was last here.

1. Warehouse Dress - £55
There is nothing I don't love about this dress, I love the Colour and the pattern, but I definitely am in love with the shape, as I just think it would be flattering on pretty much everyone.

2. Topshop Holdall -£42
I think this is such a unique bag, and I honestly don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. I might treat myself to it so I can use it for trips home, having nice luggage really helps me deal with stressful airports.

3. Topshop Top -£40
This is a bit different from the things I usually buy, but I like the embellishment on this top and I just think it would really well with a nice pair of skinny Jeans and my favourite Zara Blazer.

4. Leather Skirt - Various prices
This leather skirt is from ebay, and I love leather skirts at the moment, but what I love most about this one is the simple studded waistband and also the lovely shape. And of course, Black goes with everything, right?

Bargain Hunting

Lately I was meant to be saving up for university, but I find it impossible not to buy things. I have ZERO willpower.

However, I have been good lately, and going for bargains! The first bargain I got my hands on were these gorgeous L K Bennett pumps, to which you are probably thinking, "How are L K Bennett shoes a bargain?!" but let me let you in on this secret, I got these in an outlet store! 

So yes, they are last season stock but they are gorgeous, and I got them for £20, when they were originally £75! this particular outlet store is located in The Outlet Village in Banbridge, (which also boasts a very good Oasis discount store!) and had so many gorgeous bags reduced very low so it took a lot of effort to only walk out with a pair of shoes.

The next item is a bargain purely because it is a dupe of the most beautiful Zara bag ever, that every blogger I follow has been lusting after! When I was in Zara a few weeks ago I saw one discarded and it had no pricetag, I fell in love and took it to the till only to be told it was £59.99!!! I had to have a sit down after that! But then a week ago I mentioned to my friend who works in Primark who told me they had copies for only £6.99. I had to make a little trip to town straight away then because I needed it so much! I think I'll remove the tassel though, and possibly the strap.

Finally, an actual bargain which was found in my local British Heart Foundation shop and cost a measly £10.99. best bargain yet. I do want to remove the sleeves though because they are a bit puffy when they are on, but it fits me perfectly otherwise. 

Happy Easter! OOTD

Dress: Religion 

Blazer: H&M 

Bag: Next 

Shoes:Oasis

Jewellery: Argento,H&M,Citizen.

Happy Easter everyone! Hope everyone had a nice day and got lots of easter eggs! I went to a hotel with my family for dinner and took these pictures outside it because it was gorgeous. I would've got more but it started to rain, the Joys of Irish weather!!!

I got this dress in religion on Brick Lane when I went to London last weekend, and had to have it! I wish that I had taken these shoes home with me to wear with it instead of the brogues I am wearing but that's one of the issues of Student Life and airline baggage allowances! 

Got my hair cut yesterday too, and although its not VERY short, I feel like I've cut it all off because it had finally got so long! It grows quickly enough though, so hopefully it will be back to what it was soon enough! 

Student Fashion Show.

Last week was Sunderland fashion week and the Bridges shopping centre held various fashion related events every day.
on Friday the Fashion Product and Promotion students from University of Sunderland held a fashion show. they designed and made all of the clothes themselves, and I was very impressed with the fact they made all the handbags themselves!
These students may well be the future of fashion design and this proves that they are likely to succeed.
These are some of my favourite outfits from the show!

Candy coloured fashion

Pastels and candy colours are all over the high street this season, and my favourite collection featuring this colour palette is Louis Vuitton. 

Some of the pictures from Louis Vuitton's spring/summer campaign

One feature of this collection I especially love is the adorable collar which is featured on most of the Items. I have also seen it being worn by Alexa Chung on the cover of this months ELLE magazine.

I am personally a massive fan of Peter pan collars, and the girlier they are, the better! This one is adorable, and I am hoping to see similar styles on the high street this season. 

One thing that the high street are already emulating is the pastel colours, and they are everywhere. This Mint Sundress from topshop is the first item I'll be getting for Spring/Summer. The perfect pastel shade to pair with sandals for a daytime look or heels for a nighttime look. so easy to dress up or down.
