MONDAY BLUES

Hiya! I know the post is called monday blues but these photos were taken yesterday! And i thought it would be a cool title for the post since it was monday and i was wearing blue, which was not done on purpose. I just felt a casual day was needed. But i didn't want to go all out and wear my joggies and put on a scruffy hoody. I'm trying to wear something nice everyday, i fall out of the habit really easily though. If you haven't always got somewhere to go or something to do the first thing that comes to my mind is throw on my old trusty comfy grey or navy blue Jack Wills joggers (see their joggers collection here), as they are literally amazing and the best. They are so soft. I feel so much better as a person when i am dressed, i feel like an actual human and not a horrid gremlin form the underworld.

I'm going food shopping today so i'm pretty casual but still "styled". I really need to get my haul videos up as well, as im desperate to wear the stuff i've actually gotten. I'm a bit weird, i don't like to use the stuff i've gotten untill i've shown you guys in a haul. I know its bad but i'm really ocd about doing things in a weird ocd way that makes sense in my head. You know, i have my birthday/christmas i show you photos, then i show you a haul video and then i wear/use the stuff i've gotten and you get to see it in outfit posts! Although, i still haven't photographed the outfits i wore for my 20th but im getting to get them up as soon as! I tell you what i need to do, make a list of all the videos and post i'm wanting to make. Then just make my way down the list :)

Cardigan- Primark

T-shirt- Abercrombie & Fitch

Trousers- Topshop

Bag*- Mistella buy here (different colours available!)

Creepers- Underground at Viper London buy here

Hat- Asos

Lipstick- Chanel in Legende

OUTFIT DETAILS

I didn't really want to dress up so i seen these trousers and thought id chuck them on as i hadn't worn them in a while. So i went for a blue t-shirt to match and my trusty chunky black cardigan as i wasn't really leaving the house. I went to morrisons for my monthly mags. I thought the creepers would be a nice touch as well as being edgy. I thought about heels but i didn't want that kind of look, i wanted to look a bit scruffy and laid back.

LETS PLAY SOME BOWLING

Hiya guys, how are you all today? I've had a fantastic day :) Braehead & Xscape were having a student evening. So i decided that we should take full advantage of that, how could you not? NO i did not go on a HUGE spending spree, i wanted to do some things with Chris instead. I'm not going to lie and say i didn't have a look or get anything but it wasn't just discounts off in the shops. Since i bought my first Minkpink item last night from Asos (they were having a 60% off coats untill yesterday), i didn't really want to spend anymore today on myself. I got one thing from H&M and i had a look in Topshop but to be honest, they always have 20% student discount days online anyway. So i will get the chance to buy what i want from there another time.

We went to an amazing burger place in Braehead called Handmade Burger Co, its so good! I had already decided what i was going to have, so i'd been dribbling over my burger for a day or two before i finally ate it. I know its going to sound silly, especially with it being a specific burger restaurant, BUT all it does do is burgers and there are SO many choices! I really didn't expect there to be that much. They also do 30% off for students on a monday from 3pm, so get your bums down their students! Its really decent grub, and decent prices! Afterwards, we popped along to the bowling, which is a Bowlplex, at Xscape right next to the shopping centre. It was really good because we hadn't really been in ages! Its such a fun game for being so simple! I did loose, but i had definitely improved on my last performance! So i'm super happy. I did much better on our 2nd game and i really wasn't that far behind Chris' score! We are both competitive, but who likes to loose?

No one.

Chris had a Jimmys beef cheese & bacon burger with cajun chips and i had a greek lamb burger with feta, tzatziki (yoghurt sauce), mayonnaise & lettuce with coleslaw! Oh and i had a chocolate milkshake :D

Jacket- Vintage

Playsuit- New Look

Boots- H&M

Hat- H&M

Bag- New Look

Lipstick- Topshop in Brighton Rock

OUTFIT DETAILS

I just threw this together today, i chose to wear all green because theres green in my playsuit. Sorry to bore you with this jacket and these boots again, but i love them! Pink lipstick was to also match the pink in my playsuit :) I literally seen my playsuit and thought, its time to create a new look with you! I wanted to go with a new vibe rather than the racy Lolita look that i had done previously, so i think i managed it! What do you guys think?

MY MUM TOLD ME GUNS "N" ROSES WERE GOOD FOR ME

Hiya guys! Im really trying to get back into the swing of things and post more regularly. I have a lot of backdated outfit posts to show you, as well as photography, trips away and vlogs! So i think plan of action is when i have photographed an outfit i am going to post one i have already got sitting there. So there is going to be a mix of current outfits and summery ones. In all honesty, i just need to get up early and get to work. If i really put my mind to it i could have all the work done in 3 days. BUT seen as it is the weekend i am just going to continue blogging normally if i decide to post anything. Im not saying i only blog mon-fri but if i have a lot of blog related work (no my blog isn't my job but anything to do with it i just like to call it work) to do id rather start it on a Monday. What can i say? I have weird OCD tendencies.

(No i do not have OCD and i am sorry if i offended anyone with the remark saying i have "weird OCD tendencies" i DO NOT find anything mental health related weird or something to be made a joke about).

Today, Chris and i got up fairly late (as we always do) and decided to go to the cinema and for something to eat as a late lunch. Of course we went to one of our favourite restaurants Amaretto. I had my favourite because i hadn't had in such a long time. Which was of course bruschetta milano and sea-bass with chorizo & mediterranean vegetables. We went and seen the film Elysium, i had my eye on it since i first saw it advertised.

OUTFIT DETAILS

I do not really know/remember how i got this outfit together. It was pretty much "quick get out the door" type of outfit. I've been wearing these jeans alot recently just because jeans are quick and an easy to throw on and you can still look ok (even if you know your being a scruff for the day). Again, the t-shirt i just threw on and the heels matched the top slightly because they both have yellow and a greyish black on them. Plus, heels always add a "dressed up" feel to an outfit. Even if, as i said before, you know you are being a scruff for the day. The bag, i personally thought would match because of the yellow in the top but it was more beige than yellow. But oh well, i rolled with it anyway. The coat, OMG this coat, i am totally in love with this jacket at the moment. I threw it on because of the androgynous over-sized feel to it and the fact it was green. I thought i needed to add the hat because my hair was a bit scruffy and it added an edge to the outfit, off-duty model look or whatever.
