Took a little time to make it a little better...

Blouse - Peacocks
Waistcoat - Newlook
Jeans & shoes - River Island
Rings - H&M, Topshop & MOLYNEUXOXO
HYPE!

I received a letter a few weeks ago explaining that I had won a two awards for my work last year in my Comprehensive school. It was no biggy really but I've never won anything before so have been quite excited/nervous! As per I also was faffing about what to wear! It was an awards ceremony on one hand but only in our community school so didn't want to be over or under dressed. The trials of being a girl aye! 

Again I don't know what's up with my camera, sometimes the photographs are crystal clear then other times they come out like this! Anyways this is what I ended up wearing last night. I bought this blouse a few months ago and only worn it a few times, I bought it when I had a 40% off voucher in Peacocks so only cost me about £9! It is sheer, so for this school event I wore a nude vest underneath, but when I wore it to the pub on the weekend I just wore it with a black bra (cheeky). The waistcoat is basically my staple wardrobe piece, you may have noticed it a few times already! The jeans are officially my works jeans but fit too well to only wear them to work, may have to invest in a second pair. The shoes are also my faithfuls, got them for £12.50 in the River sale last year, defo' got my monies worth out of them! I'm loving the multi ring look at the moment but sadly these few are succumbing to the inevitable copper rust, boo! The outfit is pretty basic overall but; I was comfortable, neither under or over dressed and I think it kind of showed that I was a fashion student, RESULT! It's my last day in uni' today before the Easter holidays so better get my head down. Might post a cheeky little wish list after the gym, so until then...

Tuesday's Trend: East Meets West - Metal

Check me using a non lyrical title! Welcome to my permanent feature of 'Tuesday's Trend', gonna try and get a bit of structure for my little ol' blog! Last week I mentioned the trend 'East Meets West', this week I'm going to develop the trend a little further...




As this is an emerging trend there isn't a lot of it on the high street at the moment but keep a look out as it's set to be big for the next few seasons to come. When shopping this trend keep an eye out for luxurious gathering, bound detailing such as draping and rich colours, particularly metal shades to get the catwalk look. Rodarte & A.F. Vandervorst were pioneering this trend at the shows for Spring/Summer 2011 collections. How amazing is the Rodarte dress on the left?! *Dribble*. Gold garments aren't the easiest to pull off and there isn't much of it on the high street at the moment so I think the easiest way to introduce this trend into your wardrobe is with statement ethnic inspired gold jewellery...


These statement jewellery pieces are just gorgeous! The colours & mixture of textures just scream the East Meets West trend! Monsoon seem to be leading the pack with the beautiful statement necklaces. I think they'll look lovely in the summer paired with almost any outfit! There was plenty of jewellery to chose from in the higher price bracket, but for under £25 I think these pieces are definitely worth investing in! What do you guys make of this trend?

Everyday I'm shufflin'...



Okay I totally suck at keeping promises, I didn't manage to get any outfit snaps in time before I went out Saturday so as a consolation here are some drunken iPhone pic's of me and my mate Sarah! It was a pretty fun/eventful night and only spent like £4!?ha. I break up for Easter on Friday so am hoping to show you guys this outfit one day during my fortnight off. I need to go sleep now as I am useless after working a Monday night, nighttt...

Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock...



As promised here are the Katy Perry photo's from last Friday kindly provided by my friend Christina! I was no where near as close as this and you can barely make her out on my pic's! I have got some really good video's which I will be uploading on my youtube channel soon! Seriously the best concert ever! I'm going to get myself dolled up for tonight now, have a fun Saturday night...
