M I A

I have been extremely MIA on the blogging front, for anybody who even reads this - I'm sorry ! I have been so busy with moving houses, working and the beginning of a new university term. I will definitely be trying to blog more often!

This is just a simple outfit I wore to Uni today... Excuse the quality of my images.

Under Tee - Zara  , thin jumper - Zara , Leggings - Zara  , Belt - Hermes

 

Leather Sleeve Jacket - Primark £25 , Scarf / Snood - Topshop - £16

 

Watch - Michael Kors - £199 , Hamsa bracelet £3.00ish & Marc by Marc Jacobs bobble £25.00

 

Studded slipper shoes - New Look - £15

 

 

Along with the trusty Alexander Wang bag . (Which also has it's own separate post ! )

 

Unfortunately, these pictures aren't the best. I still need to figure out the best place to take some pictures working with the horrendous lighting in my room. I have a little more time to be able to read everybodies blogs again now. So I look forward to reading your latest posts !

Where are your..

Clothes from..

I walked through my town centre yesterday and had a few people compliment me on my clothing, which is always really lovely to hear. 

With people asking me where I bought certain items from, I thought it would be nice to share my outfit with you all.

This is what I wore, no make-up and a simple high pony. Excuse the quality (Not used to including myself in the pictures!)

Faux Fur Gilet, Primark

McQueen Scull Scarf & Chanel 2.55 Bag

 Leather panel Tee - Zara , £19.99

Zara pants rolled up, £34.99

Brogues (Scuffed & worn in !) , Primark , £12

Jewels, (I love wearing gold at the moment!), L-R, Cartier Love bracelet, Cartier Charity Love bracelet, Michael Kors gold watch & Hamsa bracelet

I would have preferred to wear this without the scarf and gilet , but it all comes along with the UK weather package, I'm sure we all can't wait for the summer months. The time will come when we can ditch the jackets and coats and wear our stocked up summer clothes.

Waste Not...

I'm not the type of girl to wear something once and then throw it to the back of the wardrobe for another season; or leave it a couple of weeks until I next wear it for fear of being caught wearing the same outfit twice. I'm sure everybody has some clothes which are memorable like statement jeans to a jacket, marking off the days from when you last wore it to when it's acceptable to be seen in it again.. Social stigmas ehhh !

I recently bought a pair of leather pannel motorcycle style leggings. These a quite a memborable piece, so I figured I could perhaps create a more subtler day/evening look. (I'm not letting those badboys go to waste! Haa ) This is what I teamed with the pants to tone the look down.

I wore a white vest underneath a rolled up, sheer grey shirt (I unbuttoned this wrong so I could get a more textured look). Leather pannel leggings and grey laced up brogues.

I just worked around the leggings and used more subtle clothes to dress them down.

Outterwear: I added a long grey faux fur gilet

(I'm working on the lighting!)

I always see a lot of people wearing random (Random is the word!) accessories on their wrists, from festival tags to ribbons.. I always stack 'things' on my left wrist.. This is what I wore with that outfit.

L-R , Tresor Paris bracelet,  crazy girl Marc By Marc Jacobs black bobble, yellow bird Marc By Marc Jacobs bobble, D&G watch & Hamsa bracelet.. Ring - Primark wrapped snake.

Final outfit.. Added my McQueen skull scarf over the top..

I never want to waste any piece of clothing ! I practically wear things until the seams are coming out ! I'm hardly on Tamara Ecclestones wage were I can afford to throw things away after one wear.. This is one way I wore them toned down, there are so many more ways.. Although, my style isn't going to be for everyone, but as long as you feel comfortable in what you wear you should definitely go for it!!

Thanks Muahh

Hamsa Bracelet

I just want to thank everybody for all the support and the lovely comments I've been receiving ! It really does give me the enthusiasm to continue blogging ! I never thought I would have any followers or people leaving comments, truely overwhelmed ! Thank you all so much ! Mwaaaaa <3

 On to the post before I start getting emosh, rambling on about how overwhelmed and grateful I am aha;

I totally forgot I had even ordered this, but today I received a Hamsa bracelet. You might of seen many celebrities wearing them, like Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad, Maddona, Alessandra Amborsio, Ashton Kutcher.

They do come in many designs but I have the satin red lace with the gold Hamsa hand on.

Red Hamsa with gold hand

                   Excuse my nails, I'm having an awful time with them at the moment !

So this bracelet.. It is believed to protect the wearer from evil eyes. There is a belief that these eyes can cast curses which bring back luck, misfortune and injuries. They say the most common form of this is through envy. It is also linked to the Kabbalah bracelets which I've seen Ashton Kutcher, Madonna and Paris Hilton wear, which is the red string on the left hand - Red symbolising warning off evil. So this bracelet is believed to bring good luck, prosperity and protect against maliciousness,evilness and nasty people.

 Some people may believe it is a money making gimic, but the spirituality behind all of this has been derived from thousands of years ago - even before religions were involved.

You don't have to believe you are protected, but it definitely is a nice thought when you look down at your wrist and see a beautiful glowing red bracelet.
