WHAT I WORE






Lookbook | Chictopia
Blazer: Misguided* | T Shirt: eBay
Skirt: Vintage | Shoes: eBay
Falsies: February Glossybox*
Glasses Ring: Loops*

Some of you may know, I'm guessing most of you don't, but I do actually wear glasses. I have to wear them all the time due to the fact that my right eye is a lot smaller than my left and even though I CAN see without them I get really bad eye strain and sickening headaches as my eye just can't cope for longer than a few hours. When I used to do my outfit pics indoors I used to try and wear them but I'd get a horrible glare and magnified eyes (due to the thick lens) so I just didn't bother. But they are part of my daily appearance so I want to start including them more and as I'm wearing this amazing glasses ring I thought I'd team them both together. The ring is from a really cute online store called Loops and all proceeds go to the Leeds College Of Art end of year fashion show! As a previous fashion student myself, i know how hard it is to raise money for the end of year show so please help them out if you can!

I got this beautiful misguided blazer after picking it has a S/S favourite in their newsletter I was featured in last month. It's probably my favourite item in my wardrobe at the moment as the colour and cut are just perfect and I'm currently lusting after all the other colours they have, including some hot pink shorts! I totally forgot I had this shirt so I was pretty pleased when I found it tucked under some other tees in a draw. McQueen was one of my favourite designers and this is my favourite photo of him!

I'm now on day 5 of feeling awful, the sore throat has now turned in to a full blown cold and I'm currently in a snot induced hell with bits of tissue stuck up my nose to stop it running. I'm feeling really achy and I'm just feeling really fed up now! I'm really sorry to anyone who has asked me to find them things/advice over the past few days, I just haven’t felt like sitting for hours going through them but I'm going to try and get a few done tonight so keep your eyes peeled if you're after some more bargains. During my eBay searches I often find a lot of things I love myself and I'll happily add them to my basket. I was quite shocked to see I'd managed to rack it up to £148! Obviously I can't afford that, so I'm thinking of showing my boyfriend a couple of links for possible birthday presents this year! Oh and if money was no object, I'd have this beaut on my shoulder right now! One can dream right?

Today I realised I've passed 8000 collective subs for my blog. My mind is literally blown that so many of you want to read about my average life but I'm very thankful you do! I'm going to be hosting another giveaway when I get to 4000 via GFC and I'm only 235 away so I'm pretty excited for that! As my blog seems to be most well known for eBay finds I'm thinking of maybe giving away my favourites? But who knows!

Today I'll be putting together a list of adverts for next month. You still have time to get yours on here, just visit my shop.
