Where is my mind?

19.10.12

The star of this post is my left ear. Anybody still with me? Hang in there! I know it sounds obscure but I can promise you it isn't. Okay well it is a bit, but it's all for a good reason.I picked up one of those earrings in the Topshop half price sale that has an ear cuff attached (I can't link so I guess the one I got is sold out but they still have quite a few lovely ones in the sale). To me they look quite daunting but I've always been intrigued, and seen as I was hauling like a mofo it ended up being one of the things I picked up. But oh, my. It is one of the most amazing accessories that I've ever worn. It's so simple but it helped transform my whole face and outfit into a particular look (I thought it was very POTC chic but my housemate wouldn't stop calling me Boy George). I'm usually quite conscious of having my ears out but I was tucking my hair behind my ear left, right and center when I was wearing this little beauty.
So hear it is, my new fave accessory, just a word of warning, don't touch it too much if you have fat ears like me, because it does get a bit sore after a couple of hours wear and a few nudges.


I'm not at all sure why I'm channeling a Simpson here, apologies for crap camera qual!


Do any of you have a new favourite accessory in your life?

Love will tear us apart, again.

17.10.12





So yesterday three of my flatmates and I went to Guildford to satisfy our Nando's craving. Coincidentally (and accidentally, on our part) it was the same day as the student lock in. Which. Was. Amazing! (If not a little very dangerous!)
After living in H&M for about two years, when I heard Topshop were doing a 50% sale or 20% off I ran straight in and this amazing jumper was the second thing I picked up!
I threw it on with this ebay skirt and just a pair of old tights.
I was drawn to the necklace straight away, and it was in the half price sale which was exciting!
I got a few other bits including a cat ring (which was love at first sight) and some sparkly crotch shorts a la Florence in the Spectrum vid.
The outfit in this post is the one I'll be wearing to the pub tonight with my flatmates.
5 bombs for £10 all hail the student night!
