OOTD: King Kattius

T-shirt Dress: eBay | Leggings: Republic | Shoes: Asos

Please give a warm welcome to King Kattius. The fiance felt that since the cat was so prominent on my t-shirt/dress he deserved a name…ok. I have been anticipating the arrival of this t-shirt after I bought it on a whim a couple of weeks ago. The t-shirt is from FUNNYGLAM, the clothing line by Korean designer Jung-hee Jung. I bought it from his eBay store – you can find a link to the listing under the picture.
It’s quite big and baggy for a t-shirt, which is how it’s supposed to be, hence me calling it a dress. I am quite tiny but I didn’t feel engulfed by it, and I think it would fit most sizes comfortably. I’d love to see it on a taller person!
Galaxy print + giant cat-king = can’t go wrong!

OOTD: Mode Foremost

Dress: Juriano Jurrie | Shorts: H&M | Wedges: Internacionale | Earrings: Topshop
 
Oh my gosh, she’s wearing white!!
Yes, I have outdone myself by using white in this outfit, although I did have to add some black. I’m not a fan of white dresses actually. I think they look nice, but I’m always scared of getting them dirty. Amazingly, I managed to overcome that fear today so I could wear this. It’s one of my favourite items. The shape is very flattering and I always feel comfortable and stylish in it, even though it’s a pretty simple piece. Of course that also means that it’s always in season – lucky me!
I wasn’t sure whether to post a full body pic today, as my cheeks are a little swollen & puffy. Yesterday I had an horrendous tooth ache all day, even after visiting the emergency dentist. He managed to fix things temporarily, but the anaesthetic & medicine wore off straight away (a problem I’ve had since I was little) so I was in pain for most of the day. Hence the lack of posts. It’s feeling a bit better today, let’s hope it lasts!

OOTD: Boux Avenue Event

Blazer: H&M | Top: H&M | Jeans: Primark | Shoes: Internacionale

So here is my outfit from yesterday’s Boux Avenue event. Unfortunately I was so rushed going to the event, and doing errands afterwards that I forgot to take an outfit photo until the end of the day. Actually my eye has swollen again (I think it’s my No.7 eye make-up remover, even though it’s new!) and it started yesterday afternoon, hence the lack of eyes in the above photo.
The top I bought last week in H&M – I absolutely adore the print! I’ve had quite a few compliments already and it’s the first time I’ve worn it, so it’s an automatic hit in my eyes! I just wanted something warm (think pouring rain) and smart. I think it worked out ok.
Anyway, I have to rush back on the train to uni today. Another 5 and a half hours stuck on trains, only for me to have early classes tomorrow. I have been so exhausted over the last few days, so I do apologise for my online absence.
I will be posting the photos from the event either on Friday, or at the weekend!

OOTD: Feeling Vintage

Top: H&M | Skirt: Vintage | Heels: H&M

Today’s outfit is just something simple and practical. I have a 6 hour train journey ahead of me tonight, so I don’t want anything too heavy or uncomfortable. I don’t know about other people, but I hate wearing too many layers, too much jewellery or having my hair up when travelling long distances. It’s a weird thing of mine, but it just helps me relax a bit more. I sound crazy, right?

This top should probably win an award for the amount of times it has featured on here. I promise I do own other items…Anyway, the top was bought in H&M whilst I was in Paris, and the skirt is vintage – bought in my local Topshop about 5 years ago when they had a special ‘vintage rail’. How authentic it is I don’t know, but to me it has the comfort and style that only older pleated skirts have. Not that I’m an expert on the topic.
I will schedule some posts during the next few days, whilst I’m away. I’ll also hopefully be ‘live tweeting’ from the event I am heading home for. For now Au Revoir!

OOTD: Crystals & Leather

Top: Internacionale | Skirt: Miss Selfridge | Shoes: Urban Outfitters

Here is today’s outfit…well last nights. I don’t often post my ‘night’ outfits on here, so I thought it might make a change. I was just going for a meal with the fiancé so hopefully I didn’t look too OTT…or gothic, in all black.
AGAIN.
The shirt is a sheer material with gold & ‘crystal’ studs dotted all over it. Add my mini faux-leather skirt, deadly panther court shoes & Marc Jacobs bracelet, and you’re done! I even took a chance with the weather and went bare legged, for the first time in months. Very liberating! Altogether nothing too fancy, but not something I personally would put together for a casual day outfit.
What do you guys like to wear for a night out?

OOTD: Black & Gold

Top & Skirt: Bought in Japan | Shoes: ASOS

I used to wear this skirt quite often when I was in Japan, but I’d forgotten about it. So I decided to base this outfit around it, because I love the look of ‘Black & Gold’. It’s actually pretty simple but I think all the elements, even down to my earrings, tied in pretty well.

This was actually yesterday’s outfit, but I didn’t have the time to post it.
I think you can all forgive me though, right?

OOTD: Pastels from Paris

Collared Top: H&M | Trousers: Bought in Paris | Shoes: ASOS

The sun is finally here!! That means no more coats, and I can finally bring these beauties out again.
By ‘beauties’ I mean the purple, blue & white trousers I’m sporting in the above photo I bought them in Paris when it was incredibly hot last Summer and they were my saviour. They’re so light and airy, it feels like I’m wearing silk. They have a very casual, slouchy fit and I love them for warm days when the sun is shining. I also bought the top when I was in Paris, so whether I look it or not I felt rather Parisian today.
I still have yet to find the perfect pair of shoes to go with the trousers though. I despise flip-flops, and they hate me equally, so those aren’t an option for warmer weather. To be honest I also need more light coloured items in my wardrobe. I feel they would coordinate better.
After I finish and hand in my dissertation next month, the real shopping shall begin!
