Fat Face

Sunglasses: Primark

Blouse: Quiz

Leather Jacket: Charity Shop

Necklace: Eclectic Eccentricity

Shorts: Fat Face

Ring: JWLRY

Pumps: Topshop

In an attempt to invite the sun back into Britain, i've been wearing shorts and sunnies a lot lately! I love these from Fat Face because they have subtle stripes making them a bit more interesting. I decided to team them with a sheer white shirt, leather jacket and studded pumps with tights of course. I also added my sausage dog necklace which i actually won through a giveaway ages ago and wear time to time. The pastel coloured sunglasses are my attempt at styling spring colours! I don't tend to wear much colour, though saying that i bought some mint green skinny jeans today which i can't wait to wear. 

I went out shopping in Bristol today so i have lots of fun exciting posts coming up showing you guys what i bought, but I'm packing for Centre Parcs tomorrow to head of on Friday for a long bank holiday weekend. 

Are you guys up to anything nice over the bank holiday weekend?

UCAS/University Update.

Sorry it's been so long since my last post, however my Textiles final piece has literally sucked up my entire life for the past couple of weeks, making it really hard to find time to post, and also to find things to post about! I did finish it today though and i'm soooo happy it's over with, plus i think it looks pretty good - let me know if you're interested in seeing it and i'll put up a few pictures. 

I thought i'd do a bit about my UCAS/Uni application process so far today. Back in December, i applied through UCAS to do fashion buying and merchandising/marketing at London College of Fashion, Westminster University, De Monfort University and London Metropolitan University. The first to reply was De Monfort and I had my interview with them yesterday so now i'm waiting to hear back from them. I really love the uni itself because the facilities and campus look great and it has a friendly atmosphere, however im unsure that the course is suitable for me as it seems very design based. I then heard back from London Met with a conditional offer for 240 UCAS points. I think this is going to be just a safe last resort option as living in London would be way expensive! Westminster offered me an interview last month which went well and i now have a conditional from them which is BBC. I loved thier course but i'm not sure if the uni is really right for me. Finally, i'm still anticipating to hear back from LCF, they phoned today but i missed the call, AHHH! 

If you follow me on twitter (@kfh34163) you'll know recently i've been panicking as to what i should wear to my university interviews. Now i know most people if their applying for medicine or law etc wear a smart clean suit, pretty boring right? But because i'm applying for Fashion Buying, i feel like it's really important to not only look smart, but fashionable.. hence my dilemma!

At Westminster, i found the applicants with me wore very smart clothing which at the same time was fashionable and on trend. A couple of girls wore jeans, but the majority wore a smart black skirt or trousers. Whereas at De Monfort yesterday, i again dressed fairly smartly and found the majority were in casual wear so i'm still feeling fairly confused! But below i've put together the sorts of outfits that i think are suitable for a Uni interview. 

Blouse: New Look

Blazer: New Look

Bag: Ebay

Shoes: Ebay

Ring: Regal Rose

Trousers: Next

This is exactly what i wore, except i wore my JWLRY rings instead and the blouse had sleeves and a pleated collar. I really love the blazer because it added a lovely block of colour to an otherwise monochrome outfit. I also added a big gold button on the blazer to add personality.

Anyway, i hope this helps. It's sort of my "What to wear to a uni interview guide!"

Hope you're all well, xxx

I wasn't sure whether to upload these or not because as you can see, the picture quality is very poor! Normally i would also take my photo's outside but by the time i was ready to go out, it was really dark so my kitchen had to do as a background! I went out last night to town with a couple of friends and we hit a couple of clubs which was really fun and we met some pretty cool people too. All in all (what i can remember) it was a really good night and the club we went to had a really good selection of music to boogie on down to! It's a shame because it got far too busy and crowded though but hey ho! I wore my new velvet Topshop skater dress which i picked up the sale a couple of weeks ago (£18 i think?) and this is such a cute little versatile dress, you can wear it with anything. Because it was cold, i teamed it with my trusty leather jacket and suspender tights with platforms!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend xxx

So i've been fairly absent from the blogging world this week, and that would be down to the dreaded January exams. I've been revising and working like a crazy person, and i still don't feel prepared. I have a Sociology - Power and Control paper on Monday and then an English (2 1/2 hour!!) paper on Tuesday and both are equally important, so it's quite hard to balance my revision. Following that, Wednesday is my interview for the fashion buying course at Westminster Uni, and i am SO nervous about that, especially about what to wear. Some people have advised me to wear a smart, yet fashionable suit but i don't actually own a suit so i'm really stuck, ANY suggestions are gratefully received :)

So last weekend i had the afternoon off work. This doesn't happen very often so i took the chance to go shopping with Gracie! I was very naughty when it came to Topshop and splurged quite a bit - On the plus side i bought the dress i plan to wear to prom in the summer! But anyway, i decided to take out the Topshop store card. And i'm not encouraging anyone else to go out and loan from stores etc, but i think it is a really cool idea seeing as you get £15 worth of free make up. This is what i got...

Make Up Wipes

Nail Varnish Remover

Eyeliner

Eyeshadow in Silver Sand

Anyway, hope you're all well, i doubt i'll be blogging til the end of next week because of the exams. If any of you have exams i wish you all the best! xox

Starting to feel a lot better and confident enough to do an outfit post now my facial swelling has significantly decreased! I didn't actually wear this outfit out anywhere today, but i'm going out for a work do on Friday and plan to wear it then. This outfit is a little bit out of my comfort zone, probably because i don't usually wear all of my hair out of my face. I feel like it makes me look boyish so let me know what you think. I do love the pop of colour though, and i feel like this outfit gives me a bit more personality too. My super suspender tights will also be making their debut on Friday - I love them so much and can't wait to team them with some high waisted shorts.


Instead of doing really anything today, i sat in my bed and watched Victoria's Secret Fashion show on repeat. I'm literally obsessed with the Aquatic Angel's section, all the pretty designs and attention to detail almost hypnotises me. Best 42 mins of my day! (I have just discovered youtube have taken the video down - OUTRAGED!)
Hopefully tomorrow i'll be getting back in to my normal routine which includes waking up stupidly early for sixth form and doing a boring bunch of revision for upcoming exams. (yay.)


Anyway, thanks for reading guys! I've recently hit the 50 follower mark which made me seriously happy! I don't want my blog to be about followers or what have you, but you guys make it so much more fun because i feel like people are actually listening to me!


Much Love, xoxo

Christmas Blogger Party

I can't believe it's taken this long for me to write up a post about Fridays Christmas blogger meet up in Java, Bristol. This weekend has been hectic with work, other Christmas parties, putting up the Christmas decorations etc.. You guys know how it is.
Anywho, as many of you know, boohoo and MyStreetChic brought us all together putting on a wonderful event with amazing goodybags, free cocktails and a stunning fashion show. I was gutted because the event was obviously held in my home town and usually it takes about half an hour to get to Java. But i miscalculated timings, and traffic was horrendous so i ended up being an hour late! Booo :( I felt awful, especially as a lot of the girls there had travelled from all over the country and still managed to get there on time! Anyway, enough complaining, here's some photo's of the night for you guys to enjoy. I didn't actually take any photo's at the event, so most of these are courtesy of MyStreetChic's facebook page!

So i'll quickly run through what I wore on the night. It's nothing i haven't featured before actually. I really wanted to wear a new dress i bought from Miss Selfridge's limited edition range a little while back, but I just felt it was too summery, so instead I wore:
Pearl Bralet - Yayer
Leather Lookalike Skirt - €9.99 Shana
Leather Lookalike Jacket - £5 from Tenovus, but originally H&M
Wedges - £9.99 Ebay
Necklace - £4 Clothes Show Live
Bag - £4 Tenovus
Cross Ring - £5 (gone up to £8 now) Love Hearts and Crosses 
Other Ring - JWLRY 

Molly and I

Thanks to Steph for this one :)

These photo's are courtesy of MyStreetChic - This blue polkadot playsuit was by far my favourite piece in the Boohoo collection. 

You can view all of the pictures from the night here.

On another note, the goodybags were amazing! I am so happy with my new lipgloss from beautycycle, it lights up and has a mirror on the side of the case so it's perfect to take on a night out! And the macadamia oil is such a treat to use as well. Did anyone else get a self heating cup of coffee instead of dry shampoo?! I was slightly disappointed with that i have to say!

A big thank you to Boohoo and MyStreetChic for holding such a super, successful evening.

Tesco extra recently opened in my town so I thought i'd see if i could find any fashionable bargains for the winter! I came across this really gorgeous green quilted coat and have been looking for one for a while now so I thought £20 was rather good. Not to mention how lovely and warm it is! I also picked up some little brown booties with fur trim lining as winter alternate to the uggs i've lived in for a couple of years now. The boots were only £12! My boyfriend was kind enough to take these photo's of me at a lake near to where we live and we had a lovely afternoon feeding the ducks and swans.

Coat - F&F Tesco: £20 (Can't find a link, sorry!)

Booties - F&F Tesco: £12.50

Scarf - Gift but I think it's from Sainsbury

Skirt - Shana: €9.99
Bag - Tenovus Charity Shop: £5
Rings - JWLRY: £10 for 5

What winter warmers have you bought recently?

Much love, xxxx

Barcelona - Part Two

Hi everyone! I know I haven't been regularly posting recently, boooo i'm a bad blogger! I'm afraid i've just started another new job and am finding it hard to keep on top of 4 jobs and A-levels! When i do get free time, i just want to sit down, relax and read all your amazing blogs rather than taking photo's for mine etc. 

Anyway i thought i'd just add another quick post about Barcelona even though it feels like i've been home for ages now! 

So whilst in the city of pickpockets, i also visited the Segrada Familia which you will probably know, is Gaudi's stunning, however unfortunately unfinished, cathedral. This is where i want to get married!

I know i'm making a huge blogging mistake featuring the same dress i wore here (shock horror!) But this time i teamed it with a new winter warmer from new look, my new bag from the charity shop (here) and some old primark pumps (they don't look that dirty in real life! I also wore my LHC owl necklace and a ring from JWLRY. Anyway what do you think about the building? Pretty something huh? If you ever get the chance to go inside, you will understand why i want to get married there. 

We also had the strangest experience outside because as me and a couple of friends sat down to sketch the building, a group of 30 or so Japanese tourists came and asked to have their photo's taken with us. And i don't mean the group as a whole, i mean each individual tourist in the group! We were sat there for about 10 minutes smiling at countless camera's.. feeling like a pro.

(One of many..)

We also visited Gaudi's Park Guell where we caught some beautiful landscape photographs and watched a cute French band perform a few songs. It's astonishing to see the amount of illegal sellers with their "sale umbrellas!" One mention of the "policia" and they all flee in the blink of an eye! 

(Amelie)

We also visited the Joan Miro foundation, The Tapies museum, Barcelonetta beach and many other cultural landmarks but unfortunately i was either unable to take photo's or the photo's i did take weren't brilliant. All in all it was a fantastic trip and i would recommend Barcelona to anyone who is stunned by beautiful urban cities. Yes, is a shame that the place is filled with pickpockets, but if your careful, it's not something to let get in the way of having a fabulous time in this stunning city.. (God i sound like a travel agent!) Has anyone else been away lately?

On a complete other note, who's on fantasy shopper? I am totally completely addicted! It's like every girls dream game so if you're not on it.. get on it here.

Hope everyone's well, what are you doing for bonfire night tonight? Keep safe, much love xxx
