Burning stars

Top - Matalan
Shirt (underneath) - H&M
Leggings - Ebay
Necklace - H&M
Boots - Topshop

Why is in 1 out of 2 full length pictures my sleeves are rolled up and not in the other one? I do not know. 

Jumped on the Zara 'skort' bandwagon yesterday. I didn't see the appeal until i saw a few bloggers style them and they edged their way into the 'i need them' category in my life so i scoured ebay, as you do, and picked up both the black and white (i better like them....) for around £13/14 altogether (link). Never one to pass up a bargain. So hopefully they will arrive soon (unlikely. China mail why you so slow.) and i can show you guys!

As seen previously

Boots - AliExpress, Around £29
Socks - Primark

I featured these boots in my 'cut-out shoes' post a few weeks ago now and i cheekily placed my order that same day. They arrived today and i couldn't wait to post about them! So, as you can work out, they took around 16 days to arrive which is typical free-china-shipping timing. 

They didnt arrive in a box (in a bag) but they did come in dust bags and with free insoles which i thought was a nice touch! Oh and they were stuffed (you know, so they keep their shape - dont know what the name for it is aha!) so yes! I was pretty pleased with the packaging etc. 

I got them in the brown colour (they also do them in red) in a size 38/UK 5 and they seem to be pretty true to size, they are a little loose on my ankle but i can just do the top buckle up tighter so that doesn't bother me!

So overall, i really love them and cant wait to style them! They would look great with some cute shorts from bonprix.co.uk, like these

PS. I realised that they are a great dupe for the Topshop Anchor boots, especially the red ones!

Grapefruit

Jumper - H&M
Skirt - Topshop
Boots - Topshop
Socks - Primark

This jumper is the same as a black one i have with cut-outs on the back - of couse i forgot to photograph these but you can see them here. Speaking of photographs, i took these before i went to college and it was pretty dull - weather wise - so the lighting was just horrendous. Hence I've had to lighten the full length photos quite a bit so you could actually see the outfit, apologies for that! But trust me, it was worse before. 

Have also included a 'shoe shot' (great phrase, great phrase.), let me know if you'd like me to include them in future posts as i always feel like you can't really see the shoes that well in the full length shots?

I've been ill all weekend and i still feel pretty awful. Not ill ill, just a cold but still, i feel so bad :( I blame the weather. And revision.

PS. Excuse the fact that you can see my bra. It was not this sheer in ~ real life ~

Slouchy Grey

Jumper - H&M
Leggings - Ebay
Boots - Topshop
Socks - Primark
Bracelets - Ebay/Misc

Really casual/slouchy/throw-on outfit today. When you wake up at 6.30am this is what happens, only more week to go til half term/study leave and then i only have to go into college for my exams! Which is great. I loathe college work/revision (currently should be doing a Maths past paper - S2, save me - but im taking a 'break')

You cant really see the socks here, i swear the Primark frilly socks shrink so much that they just fall down my foot?, but i thought i would actually show a bit of ankle today as usually i wear leggings tucked into boots. Makes a nice change, I like it. 

Better get back to my maths past paper now if i actually want a chance at passing these exams :(
