Skater Skirts and Collared Shirts| Look Lust

At the beginning of the year I told you how I wanted to discover my own style and fashion sense.. Somewhat. To start to do this I made a "Fashion Inspiration" board of my pinterest. And I freaking love that board. 

Anywho, I recently discovered that a lot of the outfits I were pinning consisted of ether skater skirts or collared skirts, or both. I don't know if this is a trend but I'm in love with the combination. 

I own a few collared skirts (which I used to leave unbuttoned in favour of the grunge look but now opt to button them up) but I don't own any skater shirts.. or any shoes to match (most of the shoes that match are heels and I; a) can't walk in heels TO SAVE MY LIFE and b) I'm 5ft 7" already and don't want to feel anymore like a dinosaur) 

I think the reason I love this look so much is that it's so versatile. You can dress it up it a pair of heels and some jewellery or down with a pair of combat boots and maybe a jumper. I think ether look is still very femine and put together and well looks like you made an effort to look decent ;)

All light colours make the outfit look so pretty and feminine as well as quite sophisticated :)





 This look is so perfect for a holiday or a day out. The sleeves rolled up take a bit of the sophisticatedness away and replaces it with more of a "lets go on an adventure look" They also both kind of remind me of the smart "pretty" girl in shows, like Lydia form teen wolf, this is her kind of fashion.



 Ghar! It just looks so fresh and cool aha!  Now picture backpack straps and this will be me going to school in summer!




The sheer black tights and black heels makes her legs look stunning! and the jumper matching the colours in the floral skirt really ties everything in. This would be an idea choice for a meal or night out, especially if you don't know whether to to go full out with a dress and heels or more casual. This is somewhere in between.

 SO, my plan of action for how I, and you if you wish, can achieve this look is the following:

1.) GET A SKATER SKIRT 
I found Teens Black High Waisted Skater Skirt ( £9.99 ) online at Newlook which is fine because I still fit into the kid/teen section as I'm only 16 and fairly slim but I'm pretty sure they have an adult version if you've got more of a figure then me :)  

2.) GET A/SOME COLLARED SHIRTS
I've been scrolling the interwebs for like 15 minutes and I can't find one that I particularly like but I'm pretty sure most shops sell them and I can tell I'll have to see it in real life and try it on to see if I like it.

3.) GET SOME NON-DINOSAUR-LOOK-MAKING SHOES THAT MATCH
Some military boots would be ideal and even some white converse for when its warmer and I don't have to wear like three pairs of tights. I found these which are really nice and pocket friendly.

4.) GET A JUMPER TO THROW OVER THE TOP BECAUSE IT'S COLD IN THE UK
 Again pretty much every clothes shop sells them.




Here's a drawing I made to try and feed my lust for this style :) (hand drawn and the coloured on procreate for ipad, you can check it out on my instagram if you want ;) )

Okay that's all for today, 
 Thanks for reading!
Hope you enjoyed ^.^
What do you think of this style? would you wear it?
Have a super fantastic day!
CYA!

I Have Short Hair!

A lady in the hairdressers said I looked like Taylor Swift with this hair so I put on my hat ;)



 I've wanted to cut my hair for ages to get rid of my dead and spit ends and to put life back into it. So this morning I went to the hair dresses on a mission. Yesterday, my hair came to around halfway down my back, my side fringe had grown too long to be identified and my hair was too heavy to do anything with. So I just wore it up most of the time. Today my hair; just touches my shoulders, is full of life and in my opinion is pretty darn fabulous! ;)

What I love about it is that it's kind of 'edgy' and is supposed to be messy and 'roughed up'. I also think I represents me more.. if hair can do that? I think I makes me look more artsy and creative as well as quite girly but at the same time not a "girly-girl" and not to mention a little wild and crazy ;)

The only down side is that it's too short for updos so I can say goodbye to my beloved messy bun for a while. I also can't put it in a low bun which I need to do for CCF and I don't know how I'm going to put it up for boxing and general exercise.. BUT I don't care too much because I love it! :)

Just think about how much shampoo I'll save.. oh my


This is the photo I showed my hairdresser, I found it on pinterest, fell in love and then automatically decided to go short


Okay so that's all for today!

 Thanks for reading!
Hope you enjoyed ^.^
What's your hair like?
Have a super fantastic day!

My Pinterest Obsession

There's no hiding the fact that I'm obsessed with Pinterest. It's the place I go to for inspiration and I certainly fine it there! It's one of my favourite social medias and I don't even use it to be social, in fact it probably makes me more unsocial ;)


When I first got Pinterest I didn't care for it much because it looked confusing but after a while you could say I got used to it because I now have 18 boards and 2247pins.. oops? This tends to happen with all social medias, like I didn't understand instagram at first and now I have an art account and Twitter scared me.. But it's different with Pinterest. Pinterest is my selfish place where I only Pin things that I want to Pin! haha okay, I'm not trying to be selfish but it's true ;)

Hiding my love of Pinterest from this Blog would be like hiding I'm secretly a pop star and go by the name of Hannah Montana.. not as exciting? you clearly haven't witnessed the awesomeness of pinterest! :D

So here's mine:

  • projects to try (24 pins)
This board is for when I find a DIYs I like but they don't fit in with my other boards. Like how to make a wand.. you know just casual stuff
  • roomspiration (263 pins)
Roompiration is a board filled with room inspiration for my bedroom, mainly DIY room decorating ideas. I'm kind of obsessed with room decor and I honestly don't think there's a DIY room decor youtube video I haven't watched..
  • Christmas (402 Pins)
Around Christmas time last year I got a little too excited some might say.. I like to call it enthusiastic participation :D In this board there's things like decor, gift ideas, treats and just all things CHRISTMASY! .. it's a beautiful place! ahh..
  • Costume ideas (71 pins)
I started pinning Halloween costumes around august? in my Halloween board and then I found some costumes I liked but weren't halloweeny enough in my opinion, one thing lead to another and now here we are with costumes for all occasions!
  • Generally awesome things (17 pins)
You know that drawer we all have that we put all the random sh*t in that doesn't seem to fit anywhere? Yeah? (haha I rhymed /).^) well this board is my "junk draw" of pinterest and I genuinely don't know what's in there aha
  • nail art (124 pins)
When I first left secondary school after my GCSE exams I got really into nail polish because it was the first time I could wear it for a week without having to take it off (which isn't actually the case because I have to take it off on Thursday for ccf and weekends for work :( ) I'm yet to try most of these but it will happen!
  • art journal inspiration (160 pins)
Like I said in a previous post I tend to pick up hobbies and interests a lot and art journaling was one of them, my interest in it has faded some what as I liked watching videos of other artists creating them but never really got time to do them my own. I'll probably start again when I'm older and when I have more time.
  • hand lettering (12 pins)
Not really sure when or why I made this board but I'm presuming I saw some fancy lettering and had to put it somewhere :)
  • prom hair styles (8 pins)
My prom was in June last year and at the time I guess I was looking for a hairstyle and voila! I probably won't use this board again but I don't have the heart to delete cause you know, memories and all
  • Erador inspiration (509 pins)
Aha okay I kind of have this whole fantasy world and a story in my head that I've never told anyone about.. so I thought I'd tell a couple of random people on the Internet xD In this board I keep images that give me inspiration for my fantasy novel(s). I wont tell you anything else as I plan on writing it when I'm older and more experienced :) ((and by "in my head" I mean I literally think about it ALL the time! whenever I'm day dream (50% of the time) I'm usually mentally playing my story inside my head and creating characters, plots, histories and dynamics of my world.. is that weird? ))
  • drawing inspiration (334 pins)
I use this frequently to give me ideas for what to draw when ever I have drawer's block. Oh the creativity that this board holds!


  • Halloween (57 pins)
Just like I got excited for the run up to Christmas, I got excited -but not as excited- for Halloween. This board has costumes, treats and decorating ideas!

  • Autumn (9 pins)
I started to get excited for autumn after watching American youtubers and seeing how "tumblr" they made it look.. and then it got cold and it made me sad that the leaves weren't autumnal colours like yellow and orange because they were all muddy and smushed together as it rains a lot so I stopped looking.. CURSE YOU BRITISH WEATHER CURSE YOU!
  • Game of Thrones (5 pins)
I am obsessed with the TV show Game of thrones and saw some pictures while I was a browsing my feed that I couldn't not make a board for!
  • Fashion inspiration (145 pins)
This board is mainly what inspired my lust list and it really shows my sense in style, even if I don't own half the items to make the outfits :( but I can dream! (and hence the lust list!)
  • A.L.I.C.E
 This is just where I've started sharing my blog posts :)
  • hair and makeup inspiration
And the last board I have so far is where I store any picture of hair and makeup I like. I've been using this a lot lately as I'm trying to get better at doing eyeshadow and there are  lots of useful pins!

Okay, so that's my Pinterest so far. I absolutely love it and think I may be addicted to it as I can spend hours at a time on it!

You'll probably here a lot of Pinterest on my blog form now on like "top pins" and stuff :)

Thanks for reading
Hope you enjoyed  ^.^
