Harry Potter Studios

This is my first blog attempt, so here it goes…

During the summer we went to Harry Potter Studios. Since my childhood basically consisted of me reading the Harry Potter books on a loop, I was very excited. If you don’t want any spoilers of the tour stop reading now!

It was awesome, a lot better than I hoped it would be! I thought it would just be displays of props and costumes but there is the great hall, a scale model of Hogwarts and even Diagon Alley! The pictures are kind of blurry as the camera on my phone has a rubbish shutter speed.

I didn’t manage to get a picture of my outfit until I got back to the hotel because it was so busy.

I bought a Ravenclaw scarf because I’ve wanted one since I was 10. I was sorted into Ravenclaw by Pottermore so it’s totally legit.

I’m wearing:
Top from Asda (it was on sale at the time so it was only £5)
Skirt from h&m
Converse from office
Trench coat from new look (I got it on ebay for £5.20)
cardigan from Primark

Raccoons and Ringlets

After we went swimming the other day, I just let my hair dry naturally. This produced what has been dubbed as my “triangle hair”. My hair usually curls tighter when I leave it, but I’ve been straightening it a lot more often and it seems to have melted my hair or something because the last couple of times it was just straight frizz. The lighting is terrible in all these pictures so if I look a little red that’s why. The jumper I'm wearing is from the men’s section. I find that guy’s jumpers are a lot warmer and the neck-line is so high, you don’t need a scarf. In Primark specifically, the men’s jumpers seem to be less itchy and wash a lot better as they don’t shrink as badly. The styles are usually very similar to the woman’s and they seem to be in more muted colours which is something I particularly like.

A Storm in a Teacup

So the other day I was out shopping with my friend when I saw this dress and got a bit over excited. It was long enough to go past my knees! Being something like 5’10, dresses that are long enough on other people are always too short on me. So many of the dresses I have, I have to wear with leggings or even skinny jeans. So the fact this dress wasn’t just long enough, but went past my knees was a novelty. It’s really pretty too, these pictures don’t show the top of it but it has a 1940’s sort of feel to it. I can’t wait until the weather warms up and I can wear it with my arms out. The iso is a bit high in some of these pictures as the sun was setting so half of them are a bit grainy. I didn’t realise this at the time and even though I kind of like the effect, it would have been better if they all looked the same. Oh well, I will just have to remember this for next time. I also went a bit mad in Primark and I have filmed a video on what I bought, wh...

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

I may or may not have forgotten that I was supposed to post last week, so here is the post: So when I was in Northern Ireland the weather was perfect so I got a few pictures of my outfits. This dress reminded me of Donaghadee when I bought it and it was only right that I took pictures of it there. So I managed to get down to Donaghadee; the weather was lovely and we didn’t expect it to last that long, and I was about to start taking pictures with my DSLR when I noticed that I had very cleverly left my memory card at the house. So here are my improvised-with-my-phone-while-old-ladies-were-staring-at-me outfit pictures! When I was taking the pictures I kept finding more and more things that matched my dress. It was defiantly made for Donaghadee!
