Glitter Ball Necklace

This necklace was most probably bought in Claire’s Accessories, or possibly New Look, about three years ago. It’s great to go with more casual things and add glitz or more formal outfits, too.

26/09/11 - New Blazer, New Outfits...

Another three outfits? What’s the occasion? Simple. My mum’s birthday is coming up, so either way you were going to get at least one post, but I went shopping on the weekend and immediately fell in love with a gorgeous blazer which I’ll wear for my mum’s birthday party. Because we’re going up to London to see Shrek the Musical in the day and then eating out in the evening, there are two outfits with some subtle changes to make it more formal. As well as this, I had a total brainwave today, and threw together another outfit incorporating the new blazer!!

Glittery Ring

This ring is from Primark for £2.50. It’s great to add some glitz to a simple outfit or highlight bling on an already dressy outfit. The other colours I have are peach and black.

LBD (Flapper Dress)

This is one of my favourite dresses as I love anything and everything to do with the 20th century, and this looks exactly like the kind of thing you’d see flappers wear in the 20’s! as I remember, it was about £10 from a small shop called Top Class. I love it to pieces and would choose it over my other dresses if I could only keep one, but despite of this I don’t actually wear it that often.

Silver Circle Dangly Earrings

These dangly earrings are really cute to add some glitz to an outfit, and because they’re silver can go with pretty much anything. They are also quite plain, so don’t feel too dressy for everyday wear.

Beige Wedges

These wedges were bought in early 2011 for about £20-£30 from New Look, as the majority of my shoes are! I really love them and can go with practically anything, but they are quite high and the slightly strange shaped wedge can make them hard to walk in, so I don’t wear them that often.

Black Blazer

This blazer is from New Look in autumn 2011, and I simply adore it! For a few months before I found this, I’d been looking for a black or grey plain but cute blazer with no success, and when I saw this I almost flipped and simply had to buy it, especially as it was only about £20! Although it is actually a ‘work’ blazer, I’ve rolled up the sleeves to give it a younger, slightly more casual feel.

Black 'Twizzly' Earrings

These ‘twizzly’ earrings are simply gorgeous, and are great for the majority of my outfits as I normally wear a lot of monochrome stuff. They’re perfect for dressing up something casual to something more dressy in the change of a pair of earrings and putting your hair up to see them.

Black Skinny Jeans

I don’t wear these skinnies from Matalan that much now, with my new super skinnies which I find to be much more comfortable as a preferred alternative. Although, I do occasionally wear them if monochrome is a must for an outfit.

Black Beaded Necklace

I bought this necklace a few years back to go with an outfit for a friends party, never really intending to wear it again, but it has proven to be a loved accessory now as it goes with almost everything in my wardrobe.

19/09/11 -- Party, Party, Party!

Hi guys, so a proper update (finally)! I had a hectic start to school and to top it off an extremely busy weekend of dinner out, an all day family party and a shopping birthday party! (All very fun, I assure you, buy kind of exhausting.) Anyways, I figured I would do an outfit for some gorgeous new stilettos I bought, but couldn’t decide between which outfit to post and don’t have enough time to post all the outfit details, so I’ve done three outfits for them (all in this post), and I am only including info about the shoes, so enjoy!!!

Patent Buckle Court Stilettos

These shoes were from New Look in Autumn 2011 for £22, and I love them! They are a gorgeous colour that goes with anything and look really formal if you dress them up properly, and could be worn for more casual things. Although I thought wouldn't do this, as I figured they wouldn't be very comfortable, I have been very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are, and I think, although they are probably my highest pair of heels, they are easily one of my really comfy pairs!

06/09/11 -- This is Not an Apology.

So, summer is officially drawing to a close, and I have surprised myself by actually not buying that much this summer. A skirt, pair of shorts, a couple of pairs of shoes, and I have acquired more jewellery (my favourite being a claret and blue plaited leather band my friend got me from Turkey – you don’t how it feels to be a Hammers girl and not being able to show your fangirl-ness in a feminine way). This post is, maybe unfortunately for you, not a typical fashiony post, no promises of new designs or outfits, no links to videos (although I did vow to make a quick video with pictures and details of everything I have bought this year, these things never go ahead). I don’t want this to be an apology either, I remember telling myself when I started this that I was writing for the fun of it, not the dreaded deadlines. This is just a post about how school is coming, and, for once, this year I am totally ready. I don’t really want to go back – I mean it’s school for Pete’s sake – but I am definitely ready. The last few days have been so boring, and I just want to get back into a routine, into eating like a normal person, not like a fat pig who lives on chocolate and sweets while watching Shrek 1, 2 and 3 back to back, or re listening to Disney songs from my childhood. I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do with British high-street fashion this season as I think, no offence to anybody here, some of the colours are pretty rank. Not all of them, just some, so I think I will be raiding my wardrobe rather than restocking it, but there might be the occasional thing that I see and love, as always.

Summer has been amazing, and there have been so many great memories, and I apologize for boring you with a long rambling post, but hey, it’s the start of a new season and new school year. GCSE’s. It used to scare me but I am surprisingly cool with it.

And now a journal post from my jounal on deviantART, which sums up my feelings of back to school in a less fashiony way:
EverythingIsEnding.
So, it’s only one week until we go back to school! The last week of summer is as busy as ever, and I’m losing my tan! Dx Nevertheless, back to school means I will (hopefully) lose some most probably gained weight since I have spent far too many lazy days (including today) sitting around in pajamas watching telly or StarKid productions, or spending far too long on The Sims, or singing Timelord Rock, along with chocolates and sweets which run out far too quickly for my liking. I’m growing impatient waiting for my Pottermore email, I WANT TO BE SORTED ALREADY!! And plus, Hogwarts is a nicer idea to go back to than The Holt ;D But all the same I will proudly walk into school singing ‘Back To Hogwarts’ at the top of my voice, all nine minutes and fifty five seconds, with all the dialogue thrown in as well :’) But I guess if Hogwarts isn’t available, I can always be transferred to Pigfarts, right?

And please, check out rookiemag.com, it only released today and I am already falling in love with it.

Have a great new school year, TheBritishFashionista..x
