Lazy fashion

You know those days where you;
a) Want a lazy day doing absolutely bugger all, but;
b) You kind of want to make a little bit of an effort.

Yeah...those days! 

This is my attempt to wear a comfortable medium between effort and no effort.



    Peplum floral top - Topshop
Bodycon skirt - Topshop
Heart necklace - Asos
Earrings - New Look  

This outfit took no planning at all which automatically makes this a favourite!

In other news...
I've decided I need to get away from everything so I'm going to let my hair down at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. I've been feeling everything other than festive this year which is such a shame because Christmas is my favourite holiday! So I'm going to force it upon myself to get in the festive spirit, and I'm really excited about going. Talking of christmas, I've almost completed my shopping (I have many items 'saved' on Asos that I have my eye on!)

Hope you have all had a lovely week!

A Little Bit of Grunge

Recently I've been wearing the colour black a lot. Whether that's because of the time of year or because I'm being lazy, I don't know. Either way, I love black and I don't care :) 

My leather jacket wasn't a purchase I made rationally...I didn't want to rush into buying something that I knew would be worn a lot. After a fair amount of 'umming and ahhing' I decided 'Oh what the hell!'

And I haven't regretted it since.





 Hi Lo Dress - Glamorous
Jacket - River Island
Bracelet - New Look
Shoes - Converse 

As of now, I'm not 100% on this dress. I love the tie-dye, I love the studs...but I'm not so sure I love the asymmetric-ness. I feel like it's a bit too long? Either way I refuse to send it back because it's just so different and I have nothing else like this in my wardrobe. 

I wore my trusty converse which I absolutely can't get enough of at the moment, even though I bought them a good year ago! 

What do you think of the dress? I need some reassurance :)

Scottish Roots

Is it too soon for another tartan-obssessed post...?

Noo, of course it's not! 

This goregous wollen scarf is my 'go-to' item at the moment and since I wear a lot of black, it goes with everything.

I can thank my eBay addiction for this item. I was determined to win the bidding war between me and another fellow bargain hunter and ended up paying £19 (I got a little bit carried away but I couldn't afford to let this one go!) It's also by Pringle which adds luxury to my outfit :) 

In other news...I had my first set of vaccinations today in preperation for my 5 months travelling. I can deal with injections...the cost however is another story! I ended up spending £121 for four injections and that's not the half of it :( I guess this means my shopping money is being eaten into by annoying expenses such as this one!

Prepster

I feel like the shirt makes it look as though I have put loads of thought into this outfit. When really, I haven't. But that is what makes this outfit a winner for me. I can shove it on and look 'together'.

 

Blue plaster, I cut myself at work :(
 
 Shirt - ASOS
Necklace - Topshop
Textured skirt - ASOS
Gold cuff - charity shop :)
See, I told you that necklace gets around....

I tucked the necklace under the folded collar making it look as though it's built in. I really love it like this as it's a subtle 'add-on' to the shirt whilst making it look a bit more glamorous :)

*warning* You will be seeing this ASOS skirt a lot in my posts....it is literally my all time favourite skirt, it goes with most things in my wardrobe! 

What do you think?

The New Girl

The blank page I am currently staring at is just as disconcerting as everyone says; not to mention how grosely intimidating it is. I can’t be too put off however, as this blank page will become increasingly familiar to me as I keep an online journal of what I like to call fashion.

Here is a synopsis of me. My name is Molly. I am a Leo, which makes me the baby of any school year. Gold jewellery is an obsession of mine, along with the stunningly beautiful Audrey Hepburn. I live in the countryside but desperately dream of living in The City. Black is timeless and therefore is my favourite colour. I collect Vogue magazine every month and am beginning to worry the desk where they are displayed will collapse in a couple of months - I should sort that.  I love listening to accents. I also love listening to dubstep (don’t judge me). Laddered tights are the bane of my life. I tend to get carried away at eBay auctions.

Fashion is interesting. It’s a subject that is incredibly prevalent yet no matter how much content there is, it will never be an industry which is saturated. Why? Because there is too much creativity involved! British Vogue has been published since 1916 and I can personally guarantee there has not been one issue that has lacked brilliance (although I can also personally guarantee I have not read them all!)
