We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams // OOTW

Dress: Topshop
Boots: Topshop 
Watch: Disney
Ring: piajewellery.com
I found this dress on the sale rack of Topshop in Debenhams whilst looking for another dress and I absolutely fell in love with it. I tried it on and it fit like a glove, it was perfect. And what was even better was the £75 reduced to £15 price tag with 10% student discount on top costing me only £13.50! 
I thought it would be perfect for casual and formal, summer or winter as it goes especially well with black rights and boots, which I wore to college. I got lots of compliments on the dress that day so I thought I'd share it.
Apologies for the amateur photographs, I'm too embarrassed to ask someone to take them for me! 
Also I bought these nail wraps from AVON (for whom I am a representative) and I really love them. They're so quirky and I've had a few people notice them and ask how I have the patience to paint them! They're available from brochure 18 in the winter range of wraps.

Across the time and space, a never-ending dance // shopping trip

I went shopping at The Trafford Centre this week to spend my birthday money and I thought I'd share what I bought.
Forever 21
Jeans: £19.75
T-shirt: £10.50
Necklace: £4.90
I have a deep obsession with jeans (count 9 pairs in my wardrobe...) and just fell in love with these so I couldn't leave them there! I love Marvel so when I saw this t-shirt I all but ran for it! The necklace I loved when I saw it and thought it was 3 separate and they could be layered, then I realised they were one necklace so it worked out quite well. 
Next
Skirt: £28
I have wanted a kilt/tartan skirt for a while but I especially liked this one because it is mainly grey rather than red tartan so it's a bit different.

River Island
Loafers: £22
I was trying on a pair of boots in River Island when I spotted these loafers which I really liked. They are quite stiff which is great because they'll last longer but they quite hurt to wear at the moment, they need a lot of wearing in! 

Topshop
Dress: £75 reduced to £15 then £13.50 with my student card (win!)
I was sifting through the sale rack in Topshop in Debenhams when I spotted this and totally fell for it. It looks even better on and it is a perfect fit and length. It works for day and night, with tights or bare legs, so hopefully it will rarely be in the wardrobe!

Topshop
Boots: £36 reduced to £32.40 with my student card
Ankle boots were the one thing I actually went shopping for and I was sure I would have to spend around twice as much as I did! I'm very happy with my choice and they fit like gloves and they're very comfortable. 

Debenhams
Clarins Daily Energizer Cream: £21
I have wanted to try this cream for ages but of course the price is a bit hefty. I thought I'd try it this time because I had a £10 gift card and I am liking it so far, it leaves my skin really soft. I also got samples of the other two products in the Daily Energizer range which I look forward to trying too.

I was quite proud of my eye make up that day too so I thought I'd share. I used Models Own Pro Liner and an eye shimmer dust with an angled brush.

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world


Top: American Eagle Outfitters
Leggings: River Island
Shoes: Bella Milano
Gold ring: Topshop
Silver ring: piajewellery.com


Today was an end-of-summer-last-minute-stuff-shopping kind of day so not a lot interesting bought really. But as I haven't posted an outfit for a long while I thought I'd share today's. 



I bought this top on holiday in Florida and I love it because its floaty and the design on the shoulders is really pretty.


I also spent a little longer on my makeup today and decided on blue eyeliner to compliment my top.

We're gonna light it up up up so they can't put it out out out

I love watching lightning storms and when I was in Florida there were a LOT of them so here are some pictures from videos I took.





It was quite spectacular, especially as there was no thunder, it was silent and magical.

Shopping, Strawberries and Wimbledon

I was inspired by my friend India to create an outfit-of-the-day fashion blog. I also went to the market today because of her so this post is dedicated to her.
This is my first post so apologies if it's rubbish and for the photo quality being low.

Today I went to the Teenage Market in Stockport and I bought a book page 'Hedwig' ring and a flower headband. I saw such beautiful, unusual things there, I just wish I'd had more money!
I then went to a friend's house to watch the Wimbledon final and enjoyed home-grown strawberries and cream. It was a tense couple of hours and an even more tense final set! I do love how the whole county comes together to back our teams and players.
