Autumnal

Hello Lovelies,

To say this week has been hectic would be an understatement. I have been packing like a mad woman and running around making sure I have said goodbye to everyone before I leave for Uni. Its also my second year so Ive been stressing about the fact it actually counts! :P We have also had several problems with plumbing, electrics etc in our new accommodation. Phew! 

Other than all of this, I am now happily settled in. My Uni room is a lovely size and FULL of my stuff. It literally looks like I have lived here forever :) I will post pictures of how I have decorated it soon if you are interested ?

Before I left, I was in the park with my best friend, so took the opportunity to get her to to take some outfit pictures for me.

I thought this was a perfect Autumnal look as it is definitely getting a lot chillier in England already.

Dress from Dunnes Stores

Boots from Dune they are very old and have served me well :)

Belt from H&M

Bag from NEXT, should I do a whats in my bag video?

Jewellery and watch are River Island

And a ridiculous one where I was caught mid dance to finish off...

I genuinely look like a Chipmunk!

I hope you are all having a lovely day.

Posts may be a little irregular now I'm back at Uni, just until I settle into the new routine.

Thank you for sticking with me, I have lots of lovely things planned for you over the next few weeks, so Ill see you then!

Much Love

Lou

Walking and Talking

Hello Lovelies,

Today is a quick outfit of the day post for when I went walking recently. I went with a good friend of mine who has just gone back to America for Uni, so going on a long walk, for an equally long chat was a lovely way to say goodbye:)

Makeup

Garnier Tinted Eye Roll On

Loreal Super Liner

Loreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara

Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart

I also have a sock in my hair instead of a hair doughnut :P

Outfit

Top-Marks & Spencer

Leggings- George@ASDA

Cardigan - (stolen from my mum)

Dr Martens 1460 W Boot

This is one way that I like to style my rather beautiful flowery Docs :)

I love them to pieces and I remember promising to show how I style them ages ago, sorry its taken so long!

I was very muddy when I got back and had been scared by quite a few horses. Other than that, it was lots of fun.

Have you gone on any nice walks recently?

Have you had friends disappearing all around the globe for Uni!?

Let me know in the comments below:)

Much Love

The Phantom

Hello Lovelies,

Last Tuesday my mother and I decided to book an impromptu trip to the theatre (not the best idea when its a nearly sold out show). We did however, manage to get good seats to go and see The Phantom of the Opera at Leeds Grand Theatre. My god was it amazing! The actors were fantastic and the whole stage production was breathtaking. We have been seriously bitten by the theatre bug and are now considering going to see Oliver when that roles around :)

I managed to get my mum to snap some quick outfit pictures for me along with a couple of the theatre. I tried to dress up slightly as we also went for a meal before hand, yet I still wanted to be comfortable. Here is what I wore...

(I am aware of my slightly heavy lidded smile:P It was the flash!)

(Obligatory awkward next to the poster pose)

 

Wearing:

Dress - Henry Holland@Debenhams

Cardigan from West One

Boots from New Look

Bag from Next

Earrings from M&S

I put up with some seriously embarrassing standard Northerner comments to take the poster photo ;)

So there you have it. A rather awkward, not so professional outfit of the evening :)

Hope you like it!

Have you been to the theatre recently?

Much Love

Lou

Holiday Outfit #1

Hello Lovelies!

Sorry for the lack of posts yet again. I was going to do a Fragrance Friday post as I had scheduled then realised I had forgotten to take the pictures! Ahhh:') I was considering putting an official image up instead then decided that isn't what my blog is about. I hope you'll understand:)

 If you follow me on twitter, you'll be aware that I am currently on holiday in France. The weather has been lovely up until today when the skies just let loose and went a bit mental!

I also had to watch the Olympic opening ceremony in French, it was quite the experience. Personally I thought it was fantastic, which is saying something considering I was expecting an utter catastrophe:P Well done Boyle!

I thought I'd post a quick OOTD for you all as I have a couple of holiday snaps available.

NB: My technologically challenged mum took this picture on her camera, so apologies if it isn't 'artsy' enough ;)

H&M Hat

Primark Vest

Next Hoodie

H&M Shorts

Floozie by Frost French Flip Flops

Next Bag

H&M Sunglasses

Other than an apology for my lack of makeup and hair upkeep and my pasty legs that is all:)

Hope you are having a lovely Summer wherever you all are!

Many posts planned for when I'm back.

Much Love

Lou

OOTE Party Party and a little more Party.

Hello Lovelies,

Just a quick outfit post showing you all what I ended up wearing on Friday night a couple of weeks ago. I actually wrote a quick Polyvore post mentioning I didn't want to wear a dress. Well, that went out of the window! It was also my first ever experience with heels, I fell in love with the look, definitely not the feel aha. OUCH!!! :')

Without further ado...

I happen to have rather rosy cheeks here due to the serious amount of laughter erupting from me and my lovely friend Charlotte before this photo was taken.

Dress - French Connection

Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

Ring - George@Asda

Coloured Bracelets - French Connection

Silver Bracelets - Next

Earring - George@Asda

Cardigan - West One

A quick action shot of our amazing dance skills :')

Ohh the concentration on my face aha.

Much Love

Mac Neutral Palette (ish) & Kooky Christmas Baubles ...

Hello Lovelies,

I haven't done a post in what seems like forever. Alas I had no working camera. However, I have acquired a brand spanking new, wonderfully gorgeously delightful camera very recently and my amazing parents have let me play with my Christmas Prezzy early :D

This may have its disadvantages when it comes to Christmas morning (I may put it back in the box and wrap it up, to open again :')) but i am a very happy bunny at present.

It is the Panasonic FZ38 and my do i love it.

Plus it's going to be sooo much easier to keep up to date with my blog as i feel like i've been neglecting you a little recently.

So without further ado...

I was in Nottingham around 2 months ago visiting the University for an open day. (I really hope i get the grades, its beautiful). 

I had to travel down there from Leeds alone and spend the entire day until I could get the bus back. 

After finishing up with meetings and presentations, I thought what better way to spend my time but to see what shopping the city has to offer. I was not disappointed!!

I only had a little money with me as i wasn't planning on buying anything, but i did pick up something I had been lusting after for a long time...

Behold my MAC Palette.

I LOVE the fact it is in no way fussy. Many people think its too plain or boring but I think it makes it ten times easier to organise into my small collection.

There is one dilemma though...

It only has one Eyeshadow!!! (Woodwinked)

Gorgeous Yet Lonely.

Now this problem was brought to my attention by the lovely Lauren over at Laurens Dressing Room who recently posted about the fact she had owned her palette for several months and had not added anything to it.

Well Lauren, you have inspired me to start increasing my collection ahah!! (any excuse :P)

Any suggestions as to which colours to go for would be great, Im already eyeing up All That Glitters, also check out Lauren's Blog, Its rather spiffy.:D

In other news, the family Christmas Tree was introduced into the household earlier this week and considering I'm feeling very festive I thought i would share it with you. (Im very lucky in my house because high ceiling=bigger tree)

Spot my awesome Shaun The Sheep footstool 8-)

I also wanted to show you the most amazingly adorably wonderful baubles in the whole entire world.

MUSHROOMMSS!!!

So pretty.

I feel like this is an absolutely mammoth post :/

Ahwell may as well add in a quick OOTD (ish) to make it longer :D

Cardigan - Matalan

Top - Select

Braclet - Birthday Present

Beads - Claires ( ribbon and bow attached my yours truly)

More of a 'Top Half of the Day' really lol.

If I don't manage another post before Christmas I hope you all have a wonderful day and get everything you've dreamed of :)

Merry Christmas

Much Love

Lou

First OOTD and FOTD :)

Hello my lovelies :D

Boy have I missed this!!
I feel like Ive been gone years although its only a few weeks :(.

So as some of you know my beloved camera decided to pass away, it was very old and i was in need of a new one for Christmas. However, it would have been nice if lovely Mr Camera was able to last until I received a beautiful new model. Alas!! This did not happen, so after a fair few weeks of blog writing urges I have decided to attempt some rather bad quality (in other words 'quirky' :) pictures with my webcam.

Blog posts will dramatically increase in quantity after Christmas. I promise!!

Thank you for sticking with me, here is the simple outfit I wore today along with a quick FOTD...
