So Bright In My Eyes

Shirt- H&M
Dress- Zara
Belt- Vintage
Listening Too- Train- Drive By
This is a total trail off the INSPIRATION posts but I wore this the other day. 
It was my last shift at Pizza Hut on Sunday after working there for the last 3 years of being at university, I've really loved working there and am actually really sad to leave because I have made such good friends but it's time to leave Stirling and Say HELLO ENGLAND (sniff sniff)
I love love love this dress and as ridiculous it is I bought it months ago and I just took the labels off for tonight. (GAWD STRUTHE)
Luckily I have an open back shirt that I could wear under this to keep the open back ...ness? I love this shirt and its actually a size 14 because the first one I bought shrunk to a teeny tiny barbie doll size (exaggerating a tad) so I up sized a few times and I actually prefer it big and baggy. 
I am actually so annoyed at myself for not wearing this dress before but I think it is quite a good dressy/casual.
Just a quick post as I am so snowed under trying to organise stuff for moving, the flat is a mess and the moving date has been pushed forward to the end of this month eeeeek so apologies for a lack of blogging to come but I will try :).
How is anyone else feeling about NEON? 
Embracing or avoiding?

If My Name Was On A Tshirt

T shirt- H&M
Skirt- H&M
Belt- Topshop
Watching- Super Nanny (again)
Continuing my INSPIRATION week (decided to do it as a week thingy and then maybe do them every once in a while) I decided to do a post inspired by fellow blogger Alice from SHADENFREUDE, I was looking through all her outfit posts the other night and noticed how well she pulls of full skirts and slogan T's so I thought I would try a bit of both... was going to wear my Ramones T but I have already worn it with this skirt so didn't think it would quite fit for this post. I also don't even know what my T shirt says but it has little balls of wool on it and its just so cute, i think it says "difference". Alice's outfits are always so well put together and I loved rummaging my wardrobe to find an outfit inspired by her look. I wanted to wear a cute blouse and really steal her look but I thought I would try and take bits from her different posts and make something my own, although looking at it I wish I had gone for a blouse. (BOO)
My pictures just weren't working and I think its because my hair is up funny and made me look like I had a pin head, as you do. So these were the only two were my head looks a normalish size. 
Not even kidding but E4 is driving me mad just now, they repeat Gok Wan and Super Nanny twice before lunch time and then repeat How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory in the mornings and at night... what is going on?
What are your fave things to watch on tele just now? I need some new TV.

I Dont Wanna Be Anything...

Tshirt- Primark, Skirt- H&M, Necklace- Miss Selfridge
Ignore the stupid face I am pulling, I was full of hayfever and trying to dance. Not a good combination.
Ok so one problem with this skirt... I love it... but it makes my hips look super huge when I wear it like this, I need to wear super tight tops with it and I am not a fan of that so I just have to look a bit wider than usual ha. This top was an absolute bargain from Pradamark, £8 can you believe it. I had it on with leggings originally but it was so similar to another bloggers outfit that I have seen and I didn't want to do a blog dupe so I put on a skirt instead, manners and all that. 
Again I am wearing my YSL-esque ring, just cant enough of it just now. Got lots of wee packages coming in the next couple of weeks from eBay, lots of jewelry. Woops.  
Burn is still sore.

Date with the Sun



Top- Zara, Skirt- H&M, Necklace- Miss Selridges Ring- eBay
So its the big hips skirt again, can you tell I like it? I got this top from Zara with the voucher I got from the girls from uni for my birthday, I had to have it. You just don't expect the back when you see it. I got a striped one too which will no doubt appear on here at some point. They are such a soft material and are just oh so lovely. 
I am getting so excited about going away for a couple of days, I think I need out of Stirling, developing cabin fever here. Really starting to look forward to moving as well which is so scary.
(This isn't actually what I wore today as I spent the day in leggings and a strappy top sitting at the lake at uni, post to follow. I am sooo burnt!!!)

Lost My Keys...

Tshirt- Zara, Belt- Vintage, Skirt- Topshop, Necklace-H&M, Rings- JWLRY ASOS, Nails- Models Own Beach Party & Hedonist
Having a bad face day.
Today is a bit of a sloppy day, I have so much housework to before my friends from my old work (Topshop) come round for pizza night, the flat is such a mess and Jay is at uni all day so I'll be doing it all myself unless Harry decides to help me. 
This top and skirt are both super comfy as their both that soft jersey material, perfect for a day in the house and nipping out to walk the dog/Sainsbury. I absolutely love this Zara T, I saw it and without even a bit of thought I just bought it. I got it in a M because as you will soon notice I wear most things big. The belt was a treasure find in the charity shop near my mum and dads house, the have an eBay site too with all sort of great finds. I once got a vintage Gucci handbag for an amazing price from them. 
Trying my luck on LOOKBOOK and CHICTOPIA to get the blog a bit more noticed, weev had 500 readers in the last 3 days YAY!! but not so many followers (4 Boo) but its early days yet :-)
Tomorrow I'm going to Dundee to see Fiona for a good old catch up and some cocktails, Fiona and I have been best friends for a good 18 years even with me leaving school for college then both of us going to university in different cities. I haven't got a clue what to wear. I'm not very good at planning these things in advance, usually when I plan an outfit I change it last minute.
I also decided last night that I am going postpone going down to England so soon and go to Holland to visit my sister for a few weeks with mum and dad in their motor home and Chancer of course, the head to England on the way back through with all my stuff squished into the boot of the motor home, plus my car, plus mums car. My sister Fearn moved to Holland to work on a show jumping yard for an Olympic rider, I am so used to talking to her on the phone everyday and seeing her at least every few weeks, I miss her like crazy so it will be so nice to go over and spend some proper time with her and my mum and dad, Chancer of course. 
I feel like trying a new pizza for pizza date night tonight, I work at pizzahut so I usually eat the same thing- Terri Special - Ham, Chilies and Goats Cheese YUM... but I fancy a change, any ideas?

Beans and Sausages

Cardigan-Topshop, Shirt- Monki, Leggings- Topshop, Necklaces- HM, Rings- JWLRY&ASOS

The post arrived this morning and I was super excited to open my parcel, it was my first ever purchase from Monki so I was looking forward to trying it out. I bought the white boy fit shirt, so happy with it. Its a good length to be worn with leggings or even on its own as it covers all the necessary parts and its so comfy and loose so could be easily worn from day to night. Chuffed. Was a bit worried about ordering from a shop I had ordered from before, quality, size, fit etc are always something to keep in mind. I ordered the shirt in M/L as I like to wear things big (not a fan of the bodycon) it maybe is a wee bit to big so should of gone for the XS/S but I still love it. So either the sizes are bang on or a bit big. I will probably go for XS/S when I repurchase... which I no doubt will. The quality is pretty good too, the material is soft and comfy, only thing is the shirt is a bit thin so would have to wear something underneath. They have so many nice dresses that I already have on my wish list :-P
Not doing much today, nip to town and get some bits and I have a mountainous pile of washing to try and get at least half way through by tomorrow as I've got my old work mates (Topshop) coming over for pizza and a gossip.
These pictures make me look super short I think, or maybe its because I usually have a slight heel on. 
Totally unrelated but does anyone know when the SAAS loan date is?

Snowing In May


Shirt- Topshop, 
Skirt- H&M, Belt- Vintage, Boots- Topshop, Necktie- Haberdashery, Rings- JWLRY, ASOS
Apologies for the awful photo quality and dodgy edits this is the first ever outfit post I have done like this.
Moving on, its SNOWING outside... it is MAY!!! Today I met my Mum and she brought me up my Dads old camera tripod from the early 90'2, its actually in really good condition so that was a nice surprise. I decided to go for an outfit that was a bit darker as the weather isn't exactly floral dress and sandals kind of weather, so I dragged this wee denim shirt back out which was worn alot through winter and teamed it with my H&M jersey skirt, cant go wrong with a black skirt if you ask me. 
I'm going to the cinema tonight to see salmon fishing on the Yemen so thought the outfit could go from lunch with my Mum to the cinema at night.
Last night I put an absolute hoard of stuff on eBay, phoning my Mum back and forwards to get the right sizes and condition (I stupidly took it all back to mum and dads house to clear some space from my flat). Need to make some pennies for the big move down south.
