Grunge Revolution

Hiya guys, how are you all today? Have you had a good saturday? Have you been busy, relaxing, shopping, working or cooking? Let me know down below, I want to know what you get up to on your saturdays/weekends. It's always nice to hear what people get up too, it's one of my my favourite things to ask customers when I've been working. I just feel it's interesting. Are you the same? Are you nosy with other people's lives, or are you just not that bothered. Which is most certainly fine if you feel this way! 

I also want to apologize for not posting as many outfit posts or even being able to upload my outfit from valentine's day...  Due to the wonderful & unpredictable Scottish weather, I always seem to be working when the sun decides to visit Scotland & of course, when I'm off it's raining. Typical. It wouldn't be life though if it decided to work out perfect, would it? But yes, back to no outfit posts. Ive also been working in the late afternoons/early evenings, so when I've finished work I'm 9/10 times not doing anything to have an outfit to show for, or it's too dark! But alas, light evenings have now begun here. So hopefully I'll have a lot more time to play around with in the evenings to shoot some outfit posts.

As a fashion/style blogger & style enthusiast, I really do feel it's important to share more casual outfits and what you wear when you aren't really trying too hard. But, still want to look stylish. You can keep the "chic" & "stylish" on your down days... Hence why I think it's awesome when bloggers share what they are wearing when they are just running about for the day. Sometimes you're more out there pieces & heels just aren't suitable! I feel my first outfit posts back have been more for those days when I'm not really busy but I am actually having to step out my front door... Although I do feel my day to day style is a bit more grungy & dark than my night time or dressing up style. I tend to go for really girly silhouettes when it comes to those times. 

As you can also see in these photos, I've started playing around a bit more with makeup. Although, I still go for the "au natural" look 98% of the time. I am enjoying the learning process of putting products on my face. I do want to learn more as I feel it is so fun and can really add alot more to an outfit sometimes! I can't promise I will be putting this much effort in all the time! But, you will at least see me wearing some lipstick with a bare face.

Also, can I just add how much I am in love with this Limecrime "salem" Velvetine?! The colour is just out of this world and soooo beautiful! It's the perfect 90s, brown grunge, lippie! I can't help but feel super badass in it. I'm sure I will be putting this bad boy on my lips a lot! I'll try not to overuse it. Too much anyway. Speaking of brown, 90s grunge lippies, Limecrime have actually brought out another called teddy bear, it is also very dreamy and on my wishlist.

 

I was actually visiting my grandparents today, hence why I needed a casual yet cool look. Just as well I didn't go out and put heels on as we ended up walking up the highstreet. I'm not sure I could have been bothered with actually having to walk in my heels today... Sometimes it's just nice to put on heels to look good. If you know what I mean? You know, when you are actually just going to be sitting for most of the day, but the heels just add that extra glam or something. But yes, I wanted easy glam today. So rose gold pointed flats it was.

Outfit Details

So, I have a confession. I actually wore this outfit a few weeks ago. I don't really care much about recycling outfits, in fact, I encourage it. You know something also looks great & you feel great in it, why not throw it back on when you can't be bothered? Saves a lot of time & stress. It's still a little chilly in Scotland, so I remember wanting to wear this jumper because it was warm, it's also great for throwing on & looking great because of the boxy fit. Tucking it into the skirt also helped show off the top of the skirt which I think is great because of the cute little peplum. 

I instantly feel put together and comfy in this skirt, which is one of the reasons I always thrown it on! I went for my topshop bomber because I wanted to tie in with the orange jumper & I think brown looks great with orange. In my opinion. Again, wanting to try and keep to the same kind of colours, I chose the skirt & bag because 1) the shoes have white on them, 2) the shoes are also super chic & comfy and 3) I couldn't be bothered choosing another bag. The white on the shoes really sold it for me to put them on...

Starwars at T in the Park

I had quite a lazy day yesterday. A day for relaxing. I'd had quite a busy hectic week, so it was nice to not do any tasks. I'm not going to lie and say that's how I'd plan to live out the day... But I'm trying to learn that it's ok if plans don't work out, or go the way you originally thought they would. Just try and get back on the track, that is life. Today I'm aiming to finish a lot of blog & youtube work, so that I don't fall behind. Plus, I'm not doing anything else so I want to use the time wisely and feel proud of myself at the end of the day. I'm also hoping to have a mini clear out this weekend, again if i don't do it tomorrow that's fine! But, I think it needs to be done at least by sunday!

As much of a relaxing & task free day that it was, I did have my cousin and her new boyfriend over. As well as actually stepping out the front door... So rather than doing the same old grab a baggy jumper and whatever pair of jeans/black leggings that are clean, I thought I'd show you what Id wear on a casual day while still trying to keep it fresh & chic. There really is no reason to let style go out the window when you are having "a hair up kind of day", I know I sometimes also fall into the trap of thinking, no need to try today. But there are days when you're still wanting to look cool & fresh while not giving a fuck about life.

So since yesterday was a laid back day, I got some of the tasks I wanted to do today. I've also set myself a few goals for tomorrow as well! But, i'll need to be up at a decent time tomorrow as I'm off out for a dinner date with someone else from work! As I said, It's been a busy week & there's no plans for this week coming up at all! Im hoping to get a lot of blog & youtube prep done this week. Just so that, if I get busy again I don't need to worry about pushing myself too much and meeting deadlines. Chris and I did end up going out for a meal, but I never managed to get outfit photos as it was too dark. Just means It's an outfit I can pop on another time for you guys.

Jacket- Unif
T-shirt- T in the Park Festival 2011
Leggings- Blackmilk
Flats- Missguided
Bag- River Island

Outfit Details
So as I said it was a casual day so I wanted comfort. And you really can't go wrong with leggings so I popped these awesome ones on from Blackmilk. I then added an old festival top as baggy tees really are my go to. With the pointed metal flats & leather jacket I think it really added some coolness to the outfit. As well as looking like I "tried".

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.
