Nightmare

So as you all know, it's been snowing a hell of a lot lately. On this particular day, the snow in Aberdeen was horrific. This just happened to be the day that my dad was suppose to pick me up and take me home. This was not going to happen. He called and asked if I could get the train home, totally fine, minus the fact that I had a completely tidy suitcase and that was it. I was gutted! How on earth was I suppose to fit my entire wardrobe into one teeny tiny case! Luckily, I had some money left over in my account to buy some new clothes. I didn't want to go mad, but I wanted pieces that I could wear numerous times. Took some pics of a few of the clothes I purchased along with some snaps of the snow. It's been crazy and I hope everyone gets to where they want to be for xmas!

All I Want for Christmas

Hey guys, it's almost Christmas!! Yes I am one of those annoying people who were playing Christmas songs about 6 weeks ago (: I absolutely love this holiday and everything that comes with it. I am so excited to go home and see my family who I miss very much! Most of my blog posts will be from home in next couple of weeks so I hope you like dogs :P

This year, I have to admit that there isn't something I would really like for xmas. But if I was asked, I'm pretty sure I could rustle up a few things (; So thinking about it, I made a wee collage of things that wouldn't go a miss with me this year. Of course I am not expecting to get all if any of these things, but I can wish right?

Here is what I came up with along with a few cheeky snaps. Have a good xmas guys!! x

Apologies

Hey, sorry I haven't been blogging so much, our house has been without Internet for a week now due to the snow. This makes it incredibly difficult for me to blog because the only time I can get the Internet is at uni...and I work all the time at uni (: 
I've also had this sickness bug that appears to be flying around at the moment so I haven't really been up for anything. I'm still not 100% so if anyone knows of any good remedies I'd appreciate the help (:

This week, just for fun, I am going to post up some pictures that I took when I was back home. These are just some silly, landscape pictures so enjoy (:

 

One Day

Recently I have been researching Sex and The City fashion, styles and identity. For this I have been re-watching the series to get a real look into the way each character portrays themselves through their clothes. New York plays a huge part in the series and I fell in love with the city all over again. I love New York's street style and find it so inspirational. New York is the only place I want to live and got me thinking about it's winter fashion, so I decided to see what was going about right now to inspire my winter looks.
I found a few I really loved:

I Love Hareem

This week I decided to do my styling on Hareem pants. I love them so much that I would wear them everyday if I could, but I noticed that there are only a certain about of clothes in my wardrobe that look good with them. I am a big fan of having a baggy piece of clothing on the bottom or the top of my body and a tight piece of clothing vise versa, so having baggy Hareem pants I thought that it would only look good having a tight upper half. I mixed up some t-shirts that were loose fitting and created a totally different look for myself.

Here is what I came up with:

I love these trousers and I just bought them recently. They are a brown checkered colour and I think they really go with light creamy colours.

(Trousers, Topshop. Leotard, Topshop.)

I teamed the trousers with a cream jumper and blazer for a snug winter look:

(Blazer, Zara. Jumper, New Look.)

This is jumper with the trousers alone. You can really see the shape of the trousers in this picture:

I added a denim jacket which I wasn't too sure about, but I think it brightens up the outfit well:

(Denim jacket, Urban Outfitters.)

I love these trousers because the pattern is so out there. There isn't that many clothes that go with these though, but I love the denim jacket with them:

(Trousers, Topshop.)

I added a baggy t-shirt with these trousers just to see if they would work. I love this shirt and I think it goes well for a slightly tomboyish look:

(T-shirt, Urban Outfitters.)

I also teamed them up with a waterfall jacket I had from summer. I wrapped it around me because it didn't look right falling over the trousers, but I think with a cute broach this would work well:

(Jacket, Topshop.)

These trousers are more like military trousers, but I think go with more clothes than the others:

(Trousers, Topshop.)

I put these with a baggy t-shirt too and I have to admit, I am loving this look:

(T-shirt, Topshop.)

This look is defiantly a winter look. This jacket is perfect for facing the cold, although I think the colour fades out the colour of the trousers:

Apologies for the state of my shoes, they have been worn religiously:

(Ballet pumps, Topshop. Brogues, River Island.)

5 Looks 1 Week

This week I decided to start something new, which involves me taking a picture of myself 5 days of the week just to see what I've been wearing. This will give me a chance to see what works and if anything can be improved. 
I haven't been very active on here lately due to conflicting schedules and having lots of uni work to do. This week I am determined to keep on top of things!
Anyways, here is my past week in pictures.

MONDAY:

(Jumper, Topshop. Parka, Warehouse.)

TUESDAY:

(Jumper, New Look. Coat, Next. Scarf, Topshop.)

WEDNESDAY:

(Coat, Republic. Jumper, Topshop. Jeans, Kate Moss Topshop. Bag, Guess.)

THURSDAY:

Soundtrack to My Week

I have fallen in love with The Runaways again, and this song has been on repeat all week.

Home Sweet Home

Having a week off uni meant that I could go home and work for a change. I am always limited when I go home to what I can wear and do because I can't pack enough things into my suitcase. Because the weather is getting colder, and I have no clothes, I had to borrow some of my mums stuff. It was difficult to find some things that look okay and that would keep me warm. I found a cardigan which I loved the feel off, although the colour isn't really my taste, but I actually fell in love with it. This little find got me thinking of other things lying around my house so I looked around and this is what I found:

(Cardigan, Mums. T-shirt, Urban Outfitters. Headband, Dorothy Perkins.)

(Bag, Mums. I love this bag, it just reminds me of my school days. Also, can I call my mums stuff vintage?)

(Minnie Mouse, Christmas present. I miss this bear when I'm at Uni!)

(Found my dads awesome camera for the pics this week. Just wish I could always use it.)

Just Can't Get Enough

I have fallen in love with Harem trousers and have just ordered myself a new pair from Topshop. After purchasing the trousers, I decided to have a look around for different looks and found some I really like:
