''Oh the weather outside is frightful''

A Christmassy song title may be not totally appropriate in February, but it matches how the weather has been in Birmingham over the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, before the snow went mental and covered everything in a blanket of coldness, myself and my sister Louise ventured into the city centre for a little bit of shopping.


This is what I wore, wasn't the most weather appropriate outfit, but I hate coats, I prefer layering.
I'm wearing a white strappy top, which you can't see from George @ ASDA I think, grey vest top with graphic detail from AllSaints, Checked Shirt and Leggings both from Primark, Leather Jacket from Miss Selfridge, Panda hat from Select and Bag from Warehouse.


I bought everything I had planned to, two Live Salon Style hair dyes in dark brown and a Rimmel Eyebrow pencil in Black/Brown as well as some 'rust' coloured leggings from Primark, for three pound, I couldn't really say no! Although, I had to buy size 6, as they didn't have an 8, so I'm praying they still fit.

Me and Louise browsed the shops and had some food while waiting for my boyfriend to finish work. By then the weather was pretty bad, but it was actually really pretty. We waited for Louise to get her bus home and then I went back to Kyle's. We only ventured outside for a cigarette and I took this picture, which is rubbish I know!

Poodles and Pandas

I hate not being able to get a full body shot and having to take a couple of pictures just to show my outfit, but there isn't a lot I can do about that, so I shall have to continue.
This was my outfit on Thursday, it was just a usual day at sixth form and I went out afterwards as my boyfriend was getting a tattoo. (might stick a picture up of his tattoo at the end of this post) 


I bought this dress ages ago from Primark and I was really happy with my purchase. It's quite short however, so I couldn't wear it with just tights, leggings are a must! It's a really nice style dress, it has small sleeves which are really cute, goes in at the waist and flairs out slightly at the skirt. I've actually heard someone mention they really like my dress before when I was in a restaurant. Stranger compliments are nice.


As I said leggings are a must with this dress, otherwise you risk your bottom being on show to the world! I thought I'd wear some shoes I don't wear often, because I seem to live in my docs, so I went for my converse. I do love converse and I've still got a pink pair from when I was 11, so I've loved them for a while, the only complaint I have, is that they rub on my feet quite a bit, so thick socks need to be worn with them.


This hat is so cute and matched my converse colour-wise, plus I wasn't having the best hair day that day either and the wind was ridiculous so it was very useful for keeping my hair out of my face.


This is my babes tattoo, the day it was done so still sore obviously. He loves it and so do it! Makes it ten times better that I drew it up for him and it was his birthday present from me!

In need of a change?

I've got to a point again where I'm just bored of everything, the way I look, my daily routine etc and I feel like something needs to happen, even something small. Usually when I feel like this, I'll change my hair style, get a piercing (a few months ago I got my nose pierced), but I actually can't afford to do anything, so I'm pretty stuck. Thinking about it, I am pretty unhappy with the way I look, for example my make-up. I've done my make-up pretty much the same way since I was about thirteen and recently it hasn't looked good and I've felt like I look like a greebo, haha. Maybe I need a style overhaul? Change until I'm happy with myself.
