FFF - "The boys just call me Camouflage"

 

Camo Tee: Local Army and Navy store. Jeggings: old New Look. Flatforms: Primark. Cameo Brooches: Vintage and Thrifted.

It's time yet again for another Fat Fabulous Four challenge This time were taking on the camouflage trend. I recall it suddenly becoming really into it's own last september so and I wanted to jump on board so picked up with Camo tee from my local army and navy store then never really wore it because I just didn't know what to put with it and it wasn't baggy enough for my liking! But I'm so glad one of the girls chose this as I overall love this look, hence why theres more pictures than normal. I just wore my usual red lipstick this time it being Rimmel Apocolips in Big Bang! My title for this post came from when I googled "songs with the word Camouflage in... apparently its by Stan Ridgway?

The flatforms are well loved from last summer and I will cry my eyes out when they decide to go to shoe heaven! The jeggings are super old from New Look Inspire and they're something I have a love/hate relationship with. One the one hand they look pretty rad but on the other THEY FALL DOWN ALL THE TIME! My problem is to get them to fit nicely on my tummy, thighs and bum they fall down a little every time I walk which then leads to my bum wiggle pulling up jean dance (if you say you don't have one, I know you're lying... EVERYONE does!) Another of my latest fashion obsessions is turning up the sleeves on all my tees it just makes them look so much better in my eyes and just adds a little detail to an otherwise basic outfit. You may also of seen on twitter that I cut my own fringe, a scary prospect I know but it was doing my head in so much I just had to! I may pop a few snaps up on the blog of how I did as surprisingly I didn't bugger it up so badly. PS I was feeling fierce and rad thats the reason for the last picture!

Don't forget to check out the other ladies blogs to see how tackled the trend!...

New Years.

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

These are just a selection of pictures from my lovely friend's party last night, unlike last years I was very, very sober though if it wasn't for my medication I probably wouldn't of been! I spent new years with some of the people I love dearly, all my friends. They all know I blog and tend to have sneaky reads from time to time! In fact the wonderful image of my friend Billy with his mouth open and posing was requested to go up in his slightly drunken state so lets hope hes see's it! I also put a picture in of one of my oldest friend Joe's 3 piece suit he wore, He's got some serious style I'm going to try and badger him next time he's home from Sandhurst to get some pictures of him to put up on here, he dresses so well! The only other pictures of him are from this party so long ago! My friend Becca in the grey dress had the cutest clutch ever so I got a full length shot of her by the tree. It's from Accesorize and was reduced from £22 to £12 I'm going to go and hunt it down for myself it's so beautiful.

This year with my outfit was a little more out of my comfort zone than what I would of worn a year ago! But who cares I actually felt fine, maybe even great in it! The bra under is a longline from Matalan, I actually love loads of there lingerie lately! I bought the top in the Next sales along with my shoes which I AM IN LOVE WITH and I've been praising them on twitter to! I paired them with a skater skirt from Asos and some tights. Then I wore my trusty red lip stain and matching it to my bra which you a little visible under the top, was that trashy matching them? You know what I don't care I loved it! This is a look I am definitely going to try again which mean you'll probably have lots more posts with visible bra being shown on purpose!

Finally I had to get into there downstairs shower and pretend I was singing into it because that is something I tend to do at house parties! I just realised how picture heavy this post is, I am so sorry but I loved to many of them not to include them! Hope you all had a lovely New Years Eve and Day!

Cassius it's over you're second best.

Dress: Dorothy Perkins. Flatforms/Necklace: Primark. Lace Blouse: Charity Shop. Leggings: Matalan.

This is what I wore last night to my brothers "Through the Grapevine" night which happens at a local cafe/bar. We had a live act performing for the first time and they were pretty awesome and just my type of music and not to painful to look at and that always helps! I'll hopefully get some pictures up of them performing soon so you can see for yourselves.

Overall I tend to always choose comfort over style because well I was standing up most of the night as I'm normally on the door as I know all the underagers and you don't mess with me! So like usual I'm sporting my trusty leggings which I can't live without I wear them under everything! In fact is it wrong to say I feel naked without them on? Though I wanted to also wear my new flatforms which you saw in my previous outfit post and I am currently obsessed with so by the end of the night they were pinching on my toes a little but other than that there pretty damn comfy. The Blouse I've had for years but never really worn but I love how it looks over the dress, which I've been layering under a number of jumpers and tops just so the collar is seen. I added detail with the necklace which was from my Primark haul last week. Its perfect for under collars to create a bit more interest and style to the finished look.

These were taken at the end of the night so my make up and hair was more gruesome than groomed. I wore a pink/red lipliner with balm over to create a coloured stain on my lips and fully did my face as generally I only use concealer and powder but yesterday I bought some decent make up brushes in the hope that by using them my skin may improve or at the very least my foundation (when I wear it) looks better. I'd also bought new foundation that day and blusher unfortunately the foundation is a little darker than what I'm used to, but probably works better for my slightly sunned face. I'm also yet again in need of a hair cut but thankfully not because my ombre has gone horrid and dry again, I'm so happy at how soft it is I'm thinking of doing a post on what I use would anyone want to read it? Oh finally incase you were wondering where my title came from my brother played the foals last night and its been stuck in my head since!

Collars and Colour.

Dress: c/o AX Paris. Tights: We Love Colors (from Plus North Goodie Bag). Flatforms, Bag: Primark.

So this post is a mix of pieces I've been gifted and new purchases I got today when I finally had my Primark fix (which I've been desperate to get for months!) Where the shoes and the bag have come from I 'll show you some of the other stuff I got in future posts. I actually went to Manchester with my brother who had an interview at a media company for some experience and as I know Manchester slightly better than him I thought I'd tag along partly because I'm a brilliant sister and partly because I was in some serious need of shopping.

I got sent this dress by the lovely people from AX Paris and what originally drew me to this was the adorable lace detailing and of course the peter pan collar. As much as I do love it I just feel that this isn't my style anymore, not how black and white used to be anyway. I also find the collar to be a little to over sized for my liking. I thought I'd brighten up this otherwise dark outfit with minty accents, these are the first tights from We Love Colors I've ever tried but I have always wanted to, so thanks to Plus North for popping them in our goodie bags! This is possibly a colour I wouldn't originally choose for myself but I seriously love it though they do tend to do a little nora battie on my ankles! I have been frantically searching for some form of flatforms and I'm so glad to have found these beauts in the Primark wide fit section, I don't know how long they'll last but I love them all the same.

From looking at these pictures I do really think I'm in need of at least a fringe trim, if not an actual haircut! I bought some touch of silver treatment shampoo today to try and brighten my ombre as its getting a bit brassy on the ends!
