A Geek on Halloween



Ah, Halloween; the day when it’s socially acceptable to cosplay. Last year I had a surprise party invite and I had to throw a costume together in a couple of hours. This isn’t as easy as it sounds as my group are very fandom oriented and the sort of costumes at the party were full Hogwarts robes, the TARDIS, Cecil from Welcome to night vale and Attack of the Titans characters. I ended up going as Princess Lea with just a baggy white t-shirt and my hair in two buns at the side of my head. It was kind of lame so this year I prepared an awesome fem-11th doctor costume using mostly my school uniform and things I would wear again. Unfortunately nobody had a party this year and now I look really geeky with a Doctor Who cosplay and nowhere to wear it. Sorry about the bad pictures, I used the camera on the front of my phone, which kind of sucks.









I'm wearing:
Tweed blazer from H&M I got on ebay for £6
Bow tie that I again got on ebay for 25p
Braces from ebay again for 56p
My school shirt from Marks and Spencer’s
School Skirt from Tesco’s I got at the start of summer for £5
Tights from Tesco’s
Boots from Clarks
Sonic screwdriver I stole from my brother for the night

I'm listening to:



I'm going to have to change my posting schedule so it’s every second Thursday because I literally have no free time or transport right now, which is also why the last two posts were from my room.

    I loooove your costume! It's perfect! It's great that you wore a skirt rather than troussers :) Doctor Who is my favourite series and I love 11th Doctor :) Btw, what do you think of Peter Capaldi as the new doctor? I read through your previous posts and I think you have a great style.

    I really love doctor who too (as you probably can tell). I didn't really like peter Capaldi as much as the 11th doctor at first but he has grown on me and now is The Doctor. Thank you, I love your style and your blog!

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.      I'm wearing: Jumper from Primark (they are  usually  £6 but I managed to get mine at the start of summer f...

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! I’m wearing Dress from Yumi on sale in House of Frazer for £30 Cardigan from Primark tights from Primark shoes from Primark on sale for £6 Bag from Accessories on sale for £6 Today I’m listening to: ...
