OOTD: 2

Just a quick note to say I know the photo quality isn't great (I'm using my Ipad)
Also I still need to work out how to get full body shots in my tiny room but anyway OTTD 2 featuring me this time! (terrible posing I know I'm no model!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Vest top: Primark
Plain Black Maxi Skirt: Internationale
Cross Necklace: eBay
Stud Bracelet: Present from Parents 4 years ago!
Skull bracelet: eBay
Arrow Ring: Shopdixi
Rest of Rings: eBay
Nails: W7 74 Cosmic Blue

 
I opened my wardrobe and found this aztec vest top hidden with the tags still attached (naughty me!)
I grabbed it in a mad rush around Primark and I was pleased it was only £4 what a bargain!!
I love the way it is longer at the back for when I wear it with the maxi skirt as it hides my bum (woo hoo). I'm not planning on leaving the house today so I have no shoes on to add to the ootd. I always wear jewellery as I feel so naked without it!. I feel it finishes this look off.
 
Thanks for looking!
 
 
 


 
 


Style Icons: Fearne Cotton

I will be doing a few posts about my style icons who inspire me when it comes to fashion.

My first style icon will be Fearne Cotton.
I mean who doesn't LOVE Fearne. She always looks every bit a rock chick!.







*I take no credit for the images, all are from Google Images*



One of the many reasons I love Fearne Cotton is that she always looks effortlessly casual but its all thought out not just 'throw the first thing i see on'. I think she follows trends but manages to put her own stamp on them.

She does wear a lot of simple plain items but cleverly pairs them with a bold statement piece to make it 80s rock.

I also love the fact she designs her own collection for Very.co.uk so we can all have a bit of Fearne's fashion sense. 

I do take a lot of style ideas from her as she wears a lot of black which most of my wardrobe contains and i feel my style is very similar! (if only i couldn't look like her....boo hoo sob sob)


What's your opinion on Fearne Cotton's Style?

OTTD

A quick ootd to share with you all!

H&M pleather gilet
Primark Michael Jackson t shirt (customised)
H&M grey acid wash jeggings 
Internationale Biker boots
Primark stud bag

I have been waiting a while to start wearing my biker boots again and with the weather being a bit more rainy and chilly I thought I would get them back out of my wardrobe!

First Post: H&M Picks Of The Month

This is my first post (EEK) and i thought i would start off with picks of the month.

What is picks of the month you ask? well i will be sharing several pieces i am currently loving/needing from my favourite shops and online.

H&M well what can i say? I have loved H&M for a long time now - It started off with hand me downs and often i would pinch my sisters clothes (sorry Toria!!) but even now i just always seem to find really good basics, statement pieces and rock chick jewellery.





These are the items that make up this outfit.

Black Silver Edged Bag
I am in love with this bag its so smart but it still has an edgy feel so its perfect for me.

Eagle Tank Top
I think this tank top would be excellent paired with the imitation leather skirt. I own many tank tops with motifs as they are easy to style.

Black Knit Jumper
I would pair this with a pair of skinny jeans and heeled boots, with the weather that Britain is having it is perfect.

Imitation Leather Skirt
I have been looking for a leather look skirt for a long while as i think they can be dressed up and down. The length would be very flattering. I think i was inspired when i saw Rock Of Ages in the cinema with all the 80s rock clothes!

Cut out Boots
I know i am late jumping on the band wagon but i still need a pair of cut out boots. I love these ones as they arent too chunky, with having size 4 feet im always afraid that the thicker ones will look like giants feet!

Skull Scarf
I am a sucker for anything with skulls on and i own many scarves but i do like the fact this one has a few colours as it would be great with a black top/dress.

Badges
These cute badges remind me of my younger days when i had lots of them on my tatty looking bag. They would look good on a plain bag strap or even on a tshirt pocket.

Silver Necklace, Multipack Rings and Silver Cuff
I always dress up my outfits with Accessories. I think it can add personality to a plain outfit. The ones ive picked are really inexpensive but are really effective.
Cuff in sale not available anymore.


Most of the items are from their new arrivals section with a few old pieces thrown in.

What are you loving from H&M?
