28.01.15//BLACK TO BASICS

Today, I just layered my leather jacket over this blazer/ cardigan thing I got from Forever 21 yonks ago! Yet again a really simple look, but I feel amongst other things this month I'm really starting to define 'my look'. In setting myself this challenge I've kind of forced myself to establish a 'uniform' of sorts. It's so refreshing to look back over this month (so far) and see what works for me and what really doesn't!

 25.01.15//SCRAPBOOK 

After, my day in Brighton yesterday, I'm so grateful for this lazy Sunday I've spent at home! I've just been lounging around in my 'home clothes', reading and relaxing! I had fun editing my OOTD pictures today the way I used to when I was little. I would buy those huge sheets of gem stickers and have fun sticking them absolutely everywhere haha! I was also particulaly fond of glitter glue....ahh I miss those days, in fact I feel as though I have a distinct lack of glitter and sparkle in my life at the moment and that needs to change!! 

(If you can even see the outfit under all the glitter hahaha)

24.01.15//PAST THE WITCHING HOUR

I think I look quite Vampir-ish in this picture!!! I'm pretty sure that the most extreme close of myself I've ever posted on my blog, I didn't know my little camera could capture such a clear shot especially in such awful light!!

Leather Jacket//TOPSHOP

This is the perfect gig outfit. Considering the amount that I love music, I don't go to nearly enough gigs! Hmm, maybe I should add 'go to more music events' to my ever growing list of new years resolutions!

See you tomorrow!

 18.01.15//SUNDAY VIBES 

Today I think I might take a wander up to Brick Lane and have a look at the Sunday Market. I haven't bought any magazines for ages and there's lots of newsagents in the Spitalfields area that stock niche magazines you can't get in your average supermarket or corner shop! The sun is piercingly bright but it's still bitterly cold outside so I think I'll throw my winter coat over my leather jacket to keep myself nice a warm!

  10/01/15: A WALK IN THE PARK

Today, despite the gale force winds, I went in search of a new place to take my outfit photo's!I find it so inspiring taking my photo's in new places, and I'm lucky enough to live near an amazing park! I've been coming here since I was little with my family and have spend almost entire summers here. I still find myself thinking how wonderful it is that parks this beautiful are free!!

It was freezing, so I layered up both my bomber and my leather jacket to shield me from the cold!

 05/01/15:SPINELLI 

Hands up, who watched Recess as a kid? I certainly did, this look is inspired by the biker boot, beanie wearing and straight talking Ashley Spinelli. Just to clarify this outfit is just inspired by her, she definitely wasn't running up and down the playground in a side split maxi skirt haha. This is the sort of outfit I could imagine her wearing when she grew up. I think we can all learn a lot from her. I absolutely loved her 'anything the boys can do I can do tooo....and better' attitude so much!

This extremely warm beenie is from M&S 

 

This huge double sided, tartan blanket/scarf is from Primark.

The black jumper is from H+M

 The leather jacket is from Topshop as are the boots. 

 ...and the skirt is from Boohoo.com

 ugly shoes 

I'm absolutely obsessed with this camel jumper that I got from H&M for an absolute bargain of £7 I thought the sticker  had been stuck on incorrectly, but I was so happy when it scanned through!
Also, I can't get enough of my new Zara shoes, they're kinda ugly but I've always loved an ugly shoe I don't quite know why hahaha!
