Pantene Pro V Review

I bought this Pantene Pro V 2 in 1 Colour Damage Rescue Treatment Masque about 4/5 months ago. At this time, I was trying to salvage my super long blonde hair which I'd destroyed with tonnes of bleach :( 

It cost £3.99 from my local co-op and definitely think it's worth it! 

I used a small amount most nights and it did make my hair feel nicer but after a spontaneous plan to cut off my hair, my hair is now just below shoulder length. It feels soooo much nicer and using this once a week definitely keeps it in very good condition. I would definitely recommend this if you've damaged your hair huge amounts from dye/heat products.

NASTY GAL

I've been lusting after Nasty Gal's shoes for the past few days; they are so beautiful! I have this weird amazement for big, chunky, black, leather, boots and heels and even though I'll probably never ever wear them, I just want to have them all. Mmm, they're so lovely. Also, they are pretty cheap after converting the dollars to pounds and adding on possible custom charges and shipping fees, it works out as being worth the wait and money. I definitely think I'll ask for a pair of the JC huuuuge lita boot (the top photo) for my 18th.

Ps. I'm having a good evening as I just got an offer from London Met to do Fashion Martkeing :)

portfolio writing

I'm off to university in September and I've applied to London Met twice, Northampton, De Montfort and University for the Creative Arts to do either fashion marketing, fashion marketing and journalism, fashion buying with marketing and also fashion journalism.
Two of the uni's are asking for a portfolio. I am so unsure of how to begin.
I have planned to photograph outfits I've styled which follow recent fashion trends, maybe a few screenshots of my blog, possibly some drawings of designs and photocopies of my Art&Design sketchbooks from the past 4 years. I really don't know if this is the right way to approach it.
Luckily for UCA I have 6 weeks to piece together a portfolio for my 2 HOUR interview ahhhh.
London Met also emailed me earlier about the fashion marketing and journalism course, asking me to write a 200 word article on an event which has happened recently in my local area which affected people. Major panicked when I read it, but with the help of my sister I have written about the Jubilee. I had to force myself to remember all of the techniques which I learnt during GCSE English Language and I really hope it's paid off

Wish me luck x

christmas wish list

just a few things that i'd really like for christmas from H&M and eBay

i was forced to put my jeffrey cambpell's, along with 4 dresses and some other lovely clothes onto eBay as i've just bought a car and have no money to buy christmas presents :( the bidding ends in 3 hours and so far i've made £50, fingers crossed my JC's sell so i can get £100 :D 

topshop's delightful new stock

Christmas List making and Topshop's new stock is so lovely!

1. Oversize Porcelain Bird Shirt - such a lovely pattern and this would definitely be wearable in the S/S over cut off denim shorts. And by the looks of it, it could be long enough to be worn with just tights. 

2. Pearl Roll Neck Crop Top - I've been lusting over embellished crop tops for a couple of weeks now and this is perfect. It would really good with a black skater skirt which I would dress up with either my JC's or my Office platform boots (I will definitely do a post on them soon!) or dressed down for sixth form with a pair of black brogues.

3. Sparkle Skater Dress - this is a colour which I would not usually chose but I feel that it's perfect for Christmas. I love skater dresses a lot and I think that they're really flattering and with a price tag of £38, it's affordable.

4. Velvet Shorts - dark green is a must-have for the festive season and these are adorable. Perfect with a black sheer shirt or an embellished crop top.

5. Cyber Warrior Collar - this caught my eye immediately. It does have a hefty price tag of £28, but I think that it's a timeless piece which could be worn often. I would wear it with a velvet LBD or a white baggy tee, jeans and converse - whatever the occasion really!

H&M's New Arrivals

£19.99

£19.99

£7.99

£7.99

A few of my favourites from H&M new stock.

I will definitely be ordering the bobble hat (which also comes in cerise and dark beige) and the bag. Slouchy bags are my faves because you can just chuck everything in and chuck it on your shoulder, I have so many! The necklace would look lovely with a a simple LBD. The fluorescent trend hasn't quite grasped me, but I really like this necklace and I will definitely be purchasing a few fluro items. H&M jumper's are always the comfiest and cosiest and are always at affordable prices. This crochet one is adorable. 

£7 Floral Trousers

Here are my new floral trousers. They were a bargain at £7 from Matalan.

 I rarely shop there but I saw that they had a sale, so jumped straight on. I also bought these velvet flatforms for £10 and a lilac sheer button up blouse with contrasting white collar for £7, so I was a happy girly when I saw the delivery. 

They are extremely comfortable and have already worn them twice. I have worn them with a plain white t-shirt and also a white vest, along with my patent black brogues. I had quite a few comments on how lovely they were. 

They're a statement piece which I'll be able to wear in the summer too with sandals and a baggy vest. 

Topshop's Newbies

Knitted Speckle Slouch Jumper - £36

Knitted Two Tone Shawl Cardigan - £45

Seamed Skinny Trousers - £35

Just a fwe items from this week's new stock for Topshop. 

I wore a lot of military back in S/S, but it is still in. This time, I'll be wearing the trend differenly - the camo jacket is out and the chunky knits are in. This slouch jumper will definitely be keeping me warm.

I am a huge fan of burgundy this A/W, the colour is very autumnal and I also love wearing it on my lips. Also,  big cardigans are going to be major thing in my wardrobe this weekend - just it on with a plain tee and dark navy jeans and it's a win.

You can never go wrong with a pair of skinny trousers. This season, wearing smart trousers has returned and I love it. I feel that the pricetags are pretty hefty, but for a simple coloured pair like the ones above, I'd be prepared to pay £35!

I've also made a pledge to myself that I will post every night/every other night, yey

JEFFREY CAMPBELL

is officially my new love.

I am fallen so bad for all of the shoes and want so so so many of them (if only I wasn't a student)

Here, are a few of my favourites from Office - which is the largest stocker of JC's in the UK - and Solestruck which sell so many beautiful shoes which they don't sell in this country.

Christmas present list writing will begin soon me thinks..

I haven't had a suitable event to wear my Cuffed JC's too yet, but prancing around my bedroom in them has already told me that they are extremely comfortable and I look forward to wearing them to some upcoming 18th's
