OOTD: Formal Floral

(Blouse: H&M, Dress: Primark, Earrings: Topshop)

As some of you may know through my Twitter, I am currently in Wales staying with the fiancé.
Well unfortunately the weather hasn’t been wonderful so I’ve reverted back to my old ways.
That means black on black, with black tights. To think, I was doing so well!
Anyway, this outfit was for a dinner event we were invited to last night.
It wasn’t anything too formal, but I felt the need to wear something slightly demure for the occasion.
The blouse is sheer, so I popped one of my little black dresses underneath, so I wasn’t flashing everyone.
On other occasions that would have been fine, but I decided otherwise for this one. 
I really love the print on this top, it’s so beautiful and the colours just pop!
The faux-leather collar adds a little something extra to the look so you can easily dress it up or down.
As for the dress…well it was awkward as I had to keep adjusting it so it wouldn’t crease. I hate that material.
So what do you think? Did I manage to look presentable?

OOTD: Givenchy-Inspired

Top: Oasap* | Shorts: H&M | Shoes: Urban Outfitters | Necklace: Topshop

How gorgeous is this Givenchy inspired top from Oasap? I instantly fell in love with the Givenchy Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear Collection, so when I found this on Oasap I had to grab it straight away! I love the clash of black, gold and purple, the irises (flower) add a touch of femininity which contrasts amazingly with the black and gold rock vibe of the top.
Thanks to having a larger chest, it was difficult to get the shirt to sit straight as you can probably see. However it still fit fine, with some room to move around in. It did originally come with shoulder pads attached, but I felt that they didn’t add anything to the top so I took them off (easily). I have a similar top/dress arriving soon from another brand and I can’t wait to add it to my own Givenchy inspired (knock-off sounds so harsh) collection.
I think next time I’d like to pair this with a more daring outfit. 
I’ll also try and take a photo in better lighting next time, so you can really see how gorgeous it is.

OOTD: Peace & Love

Vest: AX Paris* | Shorts: AX Paris* | Bracelets: WC & Marc Jacobs | Necklace: Topshop

Check me out looking all Tumblr cool in my new vest top and shorts. I really do feel like this outfit would be perfect with a pair of Litas, no? Seriously though, I love galaxy print and the subtle use of it on this vest top really drew me in.
I had also been looking for some striped shorts recently and I think the two pair together well.
One thing I noticed was that the vest top is long enough for me to wear as a dress, which is a plus. So I suppose if I really wanted to I could wear the shorts and top combo during the day, then wiggle out of my shorts in the evening for a different look, whilst adding a few different accessories here and there. I love being resourceful!

Note: I’m still in the process of unpacking, which means I have only unpacked some make-up & jewellery. I’ll try to bring you more ootd posts soon though!

You can find the vest top and shorts on the AX Paris website, here.

OOTD: London Edition

Left – Blazer: H&M | T-shirt & Shorts: Topshop | Shoes: Asos | Necklace: Topshop
Right – Blazer: H&M | Top: Zara | Skinny Jeans: Primark | Shoes: Asos | Necklace: Topshop

Here are a couple of my outfits from my recent London trip. I actually had about 4 outfits for the trip, but I was so busy I didn’t manage to get photos of them all. I could have drawn these out and made two separate posts, but I figured one was enough.
At the moment I really love pairing basics together with cute accessories. So I decided on a couple of simple outfits as I wasn’t sure what the weather would be like. As it turned out the weather was a bit chilly for the first couple of days, and then it got pretty hot. I also knew that I would be doing a lot of walking, so I didn’t want anything too awkward.

I think I’ve got enough wear out of my Topshop necklace already! I’m so glad I bought it – I love it so much. I wear it as often as I can. I feel a little bad for all my other necklaces, but they’ll get their turn soon enough.

OOTD: Pistachio Ice Cream

Shirt: H&M | Top: Glamorous* | Vest: Topshop | Skirt: Glamorous* | Heels: Primark | Necklace: Swarovski

Here is my outfit from yesterday, my final day of university. It’s the end of an era, which will finally see me step out into the real world.

I am in love with the colour of this skirt! It’s a pastel mint green. The whole outfit reminds me of pistachio ice cream for some reason – yummy. Glamorous have some amazing pastel coloured skirts right now and I keep drooling over them all. I decided to pair it with a this lace see-through top and some old heels, as it just seemed to fit the mood. Can you believe it? An outfit with no black!! I’m so proud of myself. I think the end of university has awoken Summer inside me…or something like that.

OOTD: Just Peachy

Sweater & Dress: OASAP* | Shoes: Urban Outfitters

The lovely people at OASAP and I are now collaborating and this outfit was provided by them.
I have exams today but I figured at least I can look good whilst I sit in a cold hall for 3 hours. Anyway, I loved the look of this sweater-dress combo (they come as a pair, and can be separated) as soon as I laid eyes on it. I have a thing for cut-out shoulder shirts and sweaters right now, and peach. This look just seemed casual but cute and that’s pretty much how I always try to dress. I also like the idea that I could take the sweater off at night, throw some accessories on and I could easily wear it – maybe out to dinner or for drinks, rather than a club though. The earrings are also from Oasap. If you remember I had some from Topshop on my wishlist. Cute! I can’t wait for it to get warmer so I can wear this outfit more often.
I always worry about buying online, especially from Asian websites as I have a large chest. However the sizing was perfect, it fit well and was very comfortable. It was also pretty cheap at $29 with free worldwide shippingThe only drawback is that it’s short. I’m just 5’3 (and it’s ok) but anyone over that would probably be showing some booty.

OOTD: Yesterday’s Choice

Tshirt: Topshop | Shorts: Topshop | Bracelet: H&M | Necklace: Topshop

As you can probably guess from the title, this was yesterday’s outfit. I was planning on posting it on the day, but forgot that I had scheduled the Astalift reviewI’m sure you guys don’t mind it being one day late, right?

After I wrote up the shop list, I realised that I look like a bit of a walking advertisement for Topshop. I can promise you that it wasn’t intentional. I’m not a fan of people dressing head to toe in one brand. The sun peaked its head out yesterday so I wanted to put together a shorts and tee combo, and this happened. Nothing really behind this outfit. I just wanted something casual for a 3 hour lecture. 3 hours! As I’m writing this on Wednesday, and scheduling it for Thursday, here’s hoping the lecture doesn’t bore me to death.
By the way, the necklace is currently in the Topshop sale, for only £3.50!
