One more dawn, One more day, One day more!!



Cardigan, RIVER ISLAND
top ZARA
leggings ZARA
necklace MISS SELFRIDGE

Hello lovelies I hope your all well. If the musical fanatics amongst you haven't already guessed by the title, tonight im off to the cinema to see the much anticipated Les Miserables. With it being one of my favourite musicals, im both excited to see the interpretation, aswell as being somewhat sceptical at the same time. 
With this bitter cold weather (I swear we are the only ones without snow, boo) im planning on wearing my new River Island Cardigan. Its not my usual style but im completely smitten with it, from the cut, to the pattern and of course the fur collar. Its super snug and perfect to jazz up a simple outfit. Above I have done just that and paired it with my trusty Zara tee and leggings.

Have you seen Les Miserables yet? What did you think??

Friday Fancies #2...Studs

studs


When it comes to fashion im usually quite girly, opting for blouses and pretty tops over the latest must haves with skull scarfs and skull jewellery being my exception much to my mothers dismay ha (she things skulls are ugly, mums hey ha). However lately i have found myself admiring all things stud related. Studs make a statement and can add a little something to the most basic outfits. 

Of course if money were no option i would quite happily purchase the gorgeous studded accessories Alexander McQueen has to offer. Need i say more about the clutch and cuff? purely gorgeous.
I have added the studded belt to my wishlist on ASOS, although it costs £15 which is quite good for a belt, i cannot bring myself to splash the cash on something i will either wear once, or regret buying, in turn getting lost with many other abandoned items in my wardrobe (i may have to see if Primarni has something similar?). However i can imagine wearing this belt with a simple black dress to add something different to the outfit, wearing it with a studded clutch, one such as the gorgeous offering by Warehouse. 
However for now i think i will stick to understated studs, such as these gorgeous tops from warehouse and river island, and the beautiful wrap bracelet from Accessorize. 

So what do you think of the stud craze? Are you a fan?

Wishful Wednesday

Hello lovelies, hope your all well, and having a good week so far. It may be the varying weather, or the desperation for summer, but i still find myself lusting after all things pastel, preferably teal/light blues and anything pink, including pink of the fluorescent kind, which is a new faviourite for me. Im also loving all things with skulls on it (wow that sounds morbid) but the cutesy'ish type such as the bracelet above. Ive also been drawn in by all things new York related (this may be due to my booked holiday to the big apple coming very soon).  If only i had a lovely big bank balance, i would quite happily purchase the items above (you can dream Sophie, you can dream) 
So what items have you been lusting after lately??

wishlist

Hello lovelies, i hope your all having a great week so far, i seem to have this really bad habit lately of browsing through polyvore, and ending up making mood boards of all the lovely things that i want (and no doubt dont need, but a girl can dream right?)..at the moment im definitely loving neutral colours and gold jewelley (perhaps im just getting into the autumn swing haha)..during autumn/winter i seem to have the tendency to wear all navy and black, so im thinking about adding a little colour this time around even if it is cream and gold jewellery and gorgeous brown leather bags haha

So what have you been loving lately??

back to uni lusts

Hello lovelies, i hope your all having a great weekend, so its nearly that time again when i go back to uni, this time being for the final time :O scary stuff..i usually see this time as the perfect excuse to buy a few items that i know i will wear constantly throughout the autumn/winter, so heres what iv'e been lusting after
first up is the gorgeous body warmer from Hollisters, going to uni in bath i have realised how bloody cold it can get, and layers is definitely key, i think this will look lovely with anything and although it has a hefty price tag of £80 i think i will definitely get my wear out of it.
Along with this i have also been lusting after a pair of hollisters jeggings for ages, im fed up of buying pairs and pairs that don't last so these are definitely on the agenda
Now on to those gorgeous uggs from river island, last Christmas the boyfriend bought me a pair with a toggle on the side which i have worn to death, there so bloody comfy and go with everything, so for £30 these are a total purchase, the best thing i have also noticed with river island uggs is that the soles don't wear down like many others do
im also loving this top and accessories from miss Selfridge, i don't really think i need to say more about them ;)

So what key pieces are you lusting after??

Whats in my Bag??

Hello lovelies, so iv'e seen a few people do a 'whats in my bag post' so i thought i'd give it a go
So here's my bag, its my beloved Paul's Boutique Olivia bag i received from the boyfriend for my birthday, iv'e never had such a lovely bag before so im like obsessed at keeping it clean haha

So here's all the junk it holds

1)when me and the boyfriend went on holiday we bought an underwater camera, they gave us the case back when we had the photos developed and for some reason its still in my bag.
2)I also have my beloved Karl Pilkington book, i always have a book of some sort just in case i need to be occupied haha, i also have some free book from cosmopolitan.
3) my Cath Kidston case, home to all my pens and post its for uni
4) my bargain spotty umbrella from primark, a total must, especially when i leave the house without a coat most of the time ;S
5) my little make up bag which is lacking in anything at the moment


6) a card from my nana and gramps, which they gave me for passing my second year of uni :)
7) my river island purse, im a bit of a purse snob and have always owned a river island purse, iv'e been using this one for a year, which is probably the longest ive gone without changing it :S
8) my keys, i bloody love the key ring, its a picture of me and Tim in madam Tussaud's
9) Mac Creme Cup, this literally goes everywhere with me
10) deodorant 
11) tissues, you never know when you might need them

12) 3 pairs of 3d glasses, i dont really know why i have so many pairs in there :S
13) a mini sewing kit my auntie brought me back from abroad, when i was in sixth form the button always used to fall off my trousers, so having a sewing kit is a bit of a habit just incase something my happen haha
14) one of those money fob things from center Parcs
15) My Camera
16) Stain removing wipes, a recent item in my bag, seeing as though im accident prone and spill everything over myself, this is a must have
17) a retractable kabuki brush 

So do you carry a load of rubbish around with you to?? my mum is totally worse iv'e never seen so much receipts in my life haha

30 Day Challenge..Day 9

Hello lovelies i hope your all well and enjoying your Wednesday, so to question 9 on this 30 day challenge


Your faviourite Pair of Shoes
this is such a hard question i have so many pairs of shoes i love, and if i did a blog on them all then it would take forever, so im going to pick a recentish pair of heels i bought (i say recent but it was christmas time)



And here they are there miss N for next, i spent my whole summer last year looking at them in work so when i saw them on the sale i had to get them, there quite strappy for me as i live in peep toes, it has black gem details in the middle with a zip to the back, ive only really worn them once or twice because there so high so i stumble around haha, however i already have my eyes on a new pair 
these lovely beauties from river island, however i think i will have to just keep admiring them haha

So whats your faviourite pair of shoes??

Thanks for reading my Rambles
