OOTD - 25/2/2013

So i thought i'd do a bit of an ootd post.  I wasn't going anywhere fancy, just to Nandos for a lunch date catch up with a friend.  This is my first ootd post so here goes.. 

 Firstly a mirror shot for full view of my outfit.  (ignore how fat i look)  So this is the full outfit of a galaxy pink and purple top, denim like skater skirt, grey tights and nike blazers. 

So this is a better shot of the top and the tucking in of the top to the skirt.  I just feel it looks better tucked in rather than just hanging loosely (just me?) The top has a horse on the right side (of the pic) but you can't see it too clearly in this..sorry about that! 

Next up is the beloved blazers, I paired them with grey tights which I newly bought, just fancied a change from black..no real reason.  So I just felt the blazers would give the outfit a more casual, down feel as I said it was only Nando's. 

Also I took some shots of the jewlerry I wore.  I love my pink Shambala (think its that haha) bracelet! I also have a silver and a purple one but I thought this one would tie in nicely with my blazers. I was sporting a 'J' earring for Jemma :) and a little star on my cartilidge.  I understand the stud on my tragus is quite ugly but I only got it pierced 7 weeks or so ago and i'm hopefully going to get a nice one soon! 

Finally, my bag.  I love this bag as the multi-colourness goes with everything! It looks similar to a satchel but its not really haha, it also has a longer strap which I just drape over my shoulder but it also has the little clutch to just be carried - versatile! 

Top - Topshop (got it ages ago though)

Skirt - River Island

Tights - New Look

Blazers - Shcuh

Bracelet - Warren James

Earrings - 'J' is from Razzle Dazzle (little shop in Glasgow), Cartilidge - Warren James, Tragus - from piercing shop

Bag - River Island 

So that's my first attempt at an ootd post! Hope it was okay :)

Thanks for reading!

New Sneaks

So i totally jumped on the bandwagon and bought myself a pair of Nike Blazers!  Can't resist anything! 

I was out shopping with my mum on Saturday and never planned to buy anything except some tights and new nail polish but then i passed Schuh and they really caught my eye!  I had been contemplating buying them for ages but never did then i gave in on Saturday (even though i should really be saving)!! I wasn't sure what colour to get between sky blue and deep pink but they never had the blue in my size so wound up going for the pink. 

Sorry for the not so great pictures they were taken quickly on my iPhone!

They were £70 but i love them so much!! I really like them cos even though they're pink they go with a good few outifts i own, even ones that aren't pink-centred!  I think thats the great thing about this shoe is that the colour doesn't have to match your outfit perfectly - COLOUR BLOCK! :) That's what i'll be doing anyway haha.

Anyway i thought i'd just let you all know about my newest purchase and inspire some of you to invest in a pair (let me know if you do/already have them)

Grammy faveeeee

Hi! This is my first kind of post with a meaning! So since the Grammys took place a few days ago i thought i'd let you know my favourite of the night! 

Its.....Rihanna! 

For a long time i've not liked really anything she's worn  but i thought she looked STUNNING at the Grammys! Her dress was beautiful as was her hair and makeup. 

I loved the way the dress flowed and made her appear like she was floating. The train at the back was a perfect length and the wrap at the top gave it a sophisticated look but still make her look hot!!!  I felt for a while she was dressing really outrageously but i definitely think she redeemed herself in this! 

Her hair was styled perfectly too as it did't ruin the top of the dress and sat just above the wrap which was the real part of it.  I didn't distract from the dress.  She also wore minimum jewellery which didn't make her outfit look too 'busy' with too much going on.  

I also loved her makeup as the red lips create a real statement and don't clash with the dress, she also used a very minimal eye look which was a great decision as i think you should have either your lips or eyes as the focus of the makeup, never both!! and she did it excellently. 

Sooooo thats what i think about Rihannas outift and definitely think she looked the best at the Grammys! Hopefully this was okay and if not, i'll get better :) haha

Thanks for reading, bye!
