FIFI LAPIN x ICONEMESIS

shirt, scarf and skirt from jessica buurman // jumper from sheinside // shoes from persunmall

So this is going to be a looong blog post, you know how sometimes you just have the sudden urge to write everything down? Well, I'm feeling it right now, and it's very rare so let's jump right into this! Quite a lot has been going on lately and I'm pretty sure a lot of you can relate: preparations for exams, coursework, everything students go through. 

However... I managed to steal some time to watch Pretty Little Liars whilst doing my textiles coursework... and I kind of regret it because I am addicted to it. I didn't really expect it to be amazeballs but the storyline is so intriguing... not to mention that the English teacher Ezra Fitz (played by Ian Harding) is the definitely of eye candy, just his smile is enough to melt everyone's heart.

Anyway, enough about Pretty Little Liars, I'm only midway through season 1 and I'm talking about it non stop! (Do not spoil it for me, I'm warning ya!) So, let's move onto the outfit here. I'm wearing this polyester shirt with a peculiar cut-out collar that's in pleather material, it just adds that umph to a classic white shirt, I think I would get so much wear out of it because it's a wardrobe staple that goes with anything. I layered on a mint green jumper which is relatively thin to give a nice shade of pastel colour to the outfit, I'm also wearing a simple woollen black skirt, that is actually my first ever plain black skirt! To finish it off I have on a pair of ankle boots with a cut-out heel that surprises everyone when they see it!

I thought I'd feature this phone case here because the shades Fitz (Pretty Little Liars reference, oh gosh I need to stop) so well with my outfit! The pastel colour is one of my favourite colour scheme and it reminds me of spring, which I am really looking forward to!

If you don't know already, this design is the world's most stylish bunny Fifi Lapin. This cute little creature captures everyone's heart, and this oddly adorable design of her in a tea cup and saucer outfit had me in awe! It fits my iPhone 4 snugly so I don't have to worry about my phone back being scratched. The phone case isn't bulky at all so it still feels normal when you hold it in your hand.

I got this phone case from Iconemesis and they have a range of iPhone 4-5S cases designed by artists such as Gemma Correll and Cat Sims. So make sure to check them out!

CLOUDY CHERRY

cardigan from salvation army // dress from wholesale-dress // bag from oasap // tights from john lewis // boots from persunmall 

As you can see, this dark red colour is my favourite shade of all time, I feel like there is a sense of elegance and classiness yet with the pattern of polka dots it emits a hint of youthfulness and naiveness. This outfit is inspired by Pago's very own Cloudy Cherry, the cardigan is nicely added to break up the overall redness.

I've been adoring this suede bag which is a perfect size for a day out, it fits all your essentials like keys, mobile phone, purse, and even an art journal! Although the only downside is that it's not exactly big enough for all my folders for college... but hey it's in my favourite shade! This pair of peculiar boots made me gasp when I first saw it, in a good way. Now I live in the constant fear that the heel might break off... something that is absolutely unnecessary to worry about because it is pretty strong.

BELATED CNY

cardigan from mart of china // top from charity shop // bag from baginc // skirt from romwe // necklace from jessica buurman // shoes from storenvy

I don't know how to express myself anymore, I have became useless with words. Sometimes I really wish things would go back to they were. Don't we all have that golden time of our life when everything was perfect and there's nothing else you'd need? I think from now on, my blogs will be more like dairies, it feels much easier to be able to speak to people who I don't know. It hurts much less when people who don't know you have opinions about you or disrespects you.

Okay, enough of that wtfwaswrongwithme talk. Feels so much better now that I've let it out. Anyway, happy Chinese new year! It's the year of the horse, I wish you all 龍馬精神! (That means something like "the energy like a dragon and a horse)

I went out filming with my friend Connor and here's a video of it!

I hope you enjoyed that and as always, you can hype this look on the side bar ->

I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU

pork pie hat from topshop// eyes top from oasap// trousers from matalan // bag from jessica buurman // shoes from yeswalker

Hello, so it has been a while huh, I've got to admit I'm not exactly the best at keep this blog on track. So this is another outfit of mine that I adore, both the top and trousers are so comfortable to wear! This eyes top is like a thin sweater so I can wear a denim chambray underneath it to give it a bit of colour, I don't know what people might think when they see this top since it can probably be associated with the "Illuminati"... but I just like wearing it because it's coooool!

I have also recently discovered a suitable bag for college, it's from Jessica Buurman. I have previously chosen a few other bags but none of which were big enough for me to fit my folders in! Dark red is my favourite colour of all time so that was pretty much the main reason why I chose this bag. There are separated compartments so it makes it much easier to dig for bits and bobs in your bag!

DIREWOLVES

sweater and coat from jessica buurman// skirt from romwe // shoes from persunmall

How are you all? Hope you've had a lovely holiday! Well 2013 has been a tiring year, the most stressful year yet and I'm sure 2014 won't get any lighter. As always the year goes past so quickly, it's scary. I'm probably going to have suicidal thoughts when it's the exam season in 5 months time. 

Anyway, I have gone for another all black outfit, as you may have guessed from the title of "Direwolves", I am a fan of Game of Thrones (although I have yet to read the books). So when I saw this printed sweater online I immediately claimed it as mine. The sweater is so soft and lovely, the fleece material on the inside along with the thickness of the fabric make this the most perfect sweater this winter!

I originally tucked the sweater into the skirt but it made me look bulkier than I already look in this sweater. So I decided to go for the 'sweater over skirt' look for the first time, it feels so comfortable I must admit.

Also, I have actually done something with my hair other than to let it sit there boringly. I love the way the blonde and black creates sections with this fishtail plait, definitely will be sporting this hairstyle more often next year!

WINTER WISHLIST

It's freezing outside and all I ever want to wear in this weather is some nice, comfy and snugly clothes that will make me feel 100% relaxed. I have made a wishlist with a few item of clothings from Persunmall that  I would love to wear this winter! 

1. Black and white houndstooth dress
Houndstooth has to be one of my favourite patterns, it looks clean and elegant which is great for dressing for both formal and casual occasions.

2. Embossed square satchel
This little square satchel caught my eyes with the delicate embossed detail, I was also attracted to the metal hook clasp which is rare to find on bags!

3. Classic cable knit sweater
A classic cable knit is a must have for us all, this one comes in a dark emerald green which is a lovely colour to wear for anyone/

4. Sunflower pullover
The big sunflower print on the front makes a bold statement, it's adds a slight touch of cuteness to the outfit.

5. Grey lapel woollen coat
A woollen coat will definitely keep you warm from the harsh wind outdoor! Grey is a colour that goes with anything so you won't have to pull your hair out when pairing it.

6. Lace up black boots

Boots are to keep your feet warm, what more can I say? Just stack up your knee high socks and out you go to play in the snow.

I hope you liked these items!
