green
dress c/o Fashion Union,
There's an unholy amount of green in these photos I know, I guess I'm having a late St. Patricks day or something. I'm not normally one for green, in fact I think I don't even own more than 5 green items of clothing. I really love this dress though - anything swingy and chiffony is perfect to me.
Also I'm going to China next week, for a fortnight! So so so excited, prepared to take about 100000 photos whilst I'm there!

red brick
Purely coincidental that my shoes and makeup matched this lil' wall! This dress is from Poppylux and is unusual in that it is one of the very very few patterned dresses that I own - patterns are somewhat a rarity for me. It's not that I dislike them, it's just hard to find ones that suit me and don't blind myself and everyone that walks past me, but this one's a winner.

march obsessions
1. This long (calf length!) black kimono is possibly the best thing I've bought this year - £6!!!! God I love H&M, it is quite literally a treasure trove.
2. I can't even count the amount of cocktails I've bought this past week. Too many. But pink mojitos cannot be beaten.
3. This coat is the single most amazing piece of clothing ever, I can't decide if I want to wear it or hang it on my wall and gaze at it all day.
4. Flume's album is the soundtrack to my life at the moment, plus every single Flume remix is rad (their remix of Disclosure's You & Me especially)
This month seems to be wonderful so far, like everything is really going my way and people are being almost suspiciously nice, I love it. Plus I've got a job interview tomorrow so FINGERS CROSSED

falling
dress - c/o Chi Chi clothing,
Some clothes look so much better on the hanger, and leave me disappointed and frustrated within five seconds of trying them. This dress is not one of those. It is instead the type that in flat, folded up, or even photograph form doesn't do justice to just how pretty, princessy and amazingly comfortable it is (elasticated backs are truly a gift from heaven.)
As the least graceful/balanced person ever, I am endlessly stepping on and tripping over long skirts/dresses/anything, but the lovely feeling you get when walking around in something maxi is worth the potential cuts, bruises and rips.

sleepless
floral playsuit - c/o fashion union
There's something about teddy-style playsuits which is just so adorable, this one was a gift from Fashion Union which I am rather in love with, I feel like it sort of matches my hair/room well! I'd never heard of Fashion Union prior to receiving this but gosh some of the clothes are lovely, there's one long tartan jacket in particular which I am going to save up for. Am a big fan of long, slim fitting jackets at the moment, as well as slip dresses and silky, underwear-looking playsuits and shorts.

sweet nothings
dress - aztral, hat - label lab, coat - mango, boots - doc martens
Managing to be both cute and gothic at the same time is a feat I truly admire in clothes. This dress (that the sweethearts at aztral.co.uk were kind enough to send me) strikes that balance perfectly, like 90's revival Wednesday Addams. Weirdly I feel happier in black than any other colour, I'm not sure what that says about me.
Anyway for those seeking the cute/gothic/generally cool, you can check out Aztral's store or find em on Facebook, and get 10% off until the 31st Jan with 'TAKETEN%'

leopard print
leopard print coat c/o - oasap, trousers - mango, shoes - topshop
So I've broken all but one of my New Year's Resolutions (evidence above), but on the bright side this is possibly all of my favourite things ever condensed into one outfit: leopard print, black, red lipstick, glitter and tailoring (i.e. constantly trying to channel Alexa Chung.)

new year, no money
1. a fraction of my sale purchases. huge love to Mango for selling the black coat of my dreams for £20. and only having my size. some things are meant to be.
2. went to Victoria's Secret for the first time and it robbed me blind. never has so little material cost so much money and been so worth it. needless to say the wings are not for sale.
3. as if I didn't obsess over Alexa Chung enough already. although my expectations for the book and the actual book didn't quite match up, it's still wonderful and great and the cover alone makes it worth having.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS
fringed dress -c/o poppylux.com
I received this amazing dress from Poppy Lux and it arrived just in time for this whole Christmas/New Year period which usually just stresses me out clotheswise.This dress is the nicest thing though, normally I'm not one for body con but I saw this on the site and like the neckline and fringed part are such cool touches, I'm a sucker for anything and everything black and fringed. Best early Christmas present ever... hugely recommend checking out poppylux.com
oh and HAPPY CHRISTMAS! have a good 'un

xmas inspo
I'm not feeling the slightest bit Christmassy but I am feeling furs and a LOT of black. That sort of gothy/witchy/school girl vibe with a big furry coat over the top is my favourite thing. The last picture pretty much sums it up really.

roses
jumper c/o persunmall, leather shorts - vintage
This jumper is a dead ringer for the Wildfox Prairie Rose one, which I love so so much, only so much cheaper! Am very very happy about that.

blue velvet
top c/o oasap.com, velvet skirt c/o oasap.com, fur coat - vintage
FUR COAT WEATHER IS HERE.
Definitely the most wonderful time of the year. Received this sweet velvet skirt from oasap, which brings my total amount of velvet clothing to nine. Room for plenty more, I swear blue velvet is the most gorgeous thing ever ever created.

stripe top - c/o choies.com, dungarees - primark (shock)
Received this stripey lil top from choies.com this week, they actually have some really cool things so check them out! Got it just in time to wear it to see Arctic Monkeys in Newcastle, which was the joint best night of my life (along with the first time I saw them two years ago)
They were beyond insane and amazing, am suffering from serious post gig depression now
