Make Hay While the Sun Shines


Or more like “take advantage of the weather while you can!”
So on Tuesday it snowed and I thought; hey, won’t it be cool to take photos in the snow. But I faffed around and it started to snow again and since my camera probably isn’t waterproof, I decided to try again later. On Wednesday the snow was still there but by the time I got home it was dark. So I left it to today and now, the snow’s gone. To top that off, it’s raining so I had to make do with my blue wall again. (Why did I ever think I could do outfit posts with the Scottish weather…) 



I love this lipstick so much! I got it after Christmas as I had a voucher for £3 off No7 make-up. I was going for a colour close to my old one, but got a bit carried away by the bright reds. 

If you’re wondering why I’m wearing a ring around my neck, it’s the one from the Lord of the Rings. I'm such a nerd. My mum got it for me for Christmas last year after I spent the whole of December raving about how amazing the two hobbit films out at the time were. My mum is so cool.




Good news though, I’ve now got a tripod so once the weather picks up, I’ll be able to take photos in more interesting places! Probably not for the next post though as I have mock exams to study for, but you never know; this may be my newest way to procrastinate.

(This would have worked so much better if my lipstick was scarlet)

I'm wearing:
Jumper from New look
shirt from H&M for £7
Jeans from Primark for £11
bag from Accessorize which was on sale for £6
the one ring from Lord of the rings
No7 lipstick in Crushed Crimson (but I can’t remember how much it was)


I'm listening to:


Oh and I’ve decided I’ll either weekly or fortnightly post my 365 day project photos. I’ll do a blog post of the last two week’s photos tomorrow, but I'm not sure what day I will be posting them after that so if you want to be notified on when I do, you should follow me on twitter, bloglovin’ or tumblr.

    I love how you combine collared shirts and sweaters. I've never quite been able to pull that off, for some reason. Also that lipstick color is divine!

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: ...
