VIRGIN MARY

dress and necklace from jessica buurman // shoes from persunmall

It has been over a month since my last outfit blog post. A lot has happened in the past month, I have applied for university, completed my first ever dissertation and also I have turned 18! It doesn't feel that different being 18 years old, perhaps it's because I haven't experienced night life as an 18 year old yet, but I don't plan to do so anytime soon either. I only just realised, I have been running this blog for over a year as I still clearly remember my birthday post I did last year with pictures of me and my best friends. 

Anyway, this outfit post is taken by my awesome and talented friend Ella (twitter). It's about time I go outside for my outfit photos, saying that, I will probably end up using the self timer indoor again for my next outfit post because it's always hard to find time to arrange meet ups nowadays we both have college and work.

This dress was actually longer than I had expected, it hits me right on the knees. I didn't particularly liked that so I think I will alter it when I have more time to spare. I do adore the simplicity of the dress though and the half turtle-neck stood out to me. I decided to accessorize this plain dress with a gold long chained deer head necklace, it's so delicate and it matches with my new bleached hair! Unfortunately I forgot to take a close up photo of the boots I was wearing, but they have these really cool cut out with a golden metal plate on the heels!

LEATHER ACCENT

coat from jessica buurman // shirt from vateno // shorts are vintage// flatforms from ebay

The photos came out a little blurry because it was so gloomy outside and so I had to change the aperture and shutter speed on my camera. But I couldn't wait for another day to take the photos because I'm so excited to share with you that after hunting for a year, I have finally found my perfect black winter coat! It has a (faux) leather accent on the collar which makes it pretty eccentric. I like how there's just enough arm space in the sleeves so my arm won't look bulky even with a sweater underneath. 

In this outfit I layered the coat on top of a gradient floral shirt for a slight hint of colour because there has been too many monochromatic outfits lately! Oh, I've owned these flatform boots for over a year now, nice to take them out for a little walk again after neglecting them for the past few months. I'm sorry.

FORMAL ATTIRE

shirt from jessica buurman // skirt from sheinside // fedora from choies  // shoes from yeswalker // bow-tie is diy

This is as formal as my attire will ever get, I can't imagine myself in a suit at all. Anyway, I wanted to go for a more "mature" look with a classic pinstripe shirt along with a velvet bow-tie that I made at midnight from sudden urge. I might do a DIY video on how to make a velvet bow-tie, when I have time. 

The shirt has batwing sleeves, not sure if I'm digging that or not, sounds silly but it does make raising my arm a little irritating, it's probably easily if I am to wear this shirt with a pair of jeans so I won't need to tuck the shirt in at all. Nonetheless I just love the simplicity of the black and white stripes!

If I am to wear this outdoor, I will definitely put a pair of tights on underneath the thigh-high socks since the weather is getting rather chilly in the UK!

LITTLE DEVIL

sweater from oasap // plaid shirt from salvation army // jeans from matalan // boots from storenvy - mancphoebe // hat from ebay // bracelet from sammydress

I'm in love with this entire outfit, especially my new pair of platform boots. They're ever so comfortable to walk in now that I've broken into them. I think I'm going to start a little collection with both platform shoes and hats, and beanies are definitely something I will be investing in for this autumn/winter - a saviour for cold weather and bad hair days!

The sweater has such awesome graphics, I don't particular know the meaning behind some of the patterns, if there are any, so hopefully none of them means anything offensive to anyone! Haha.

GEO TRI COLOUR BROWN CIRCLE LENSES - loveshoppingholics.com

Hey everyone, today I'm going to do something a little special. I do like wearing my circle lenses so this will be my review of the Geo tri color brown circle lenses kindly sponsored by loveshoppingholics. And boy, the packaging was so adorable and it came with a cute elephant lens case!

Just a little give you a little background information, I started wearing circle lenses 3 years ago. I only wear them occasionally for parties and day trips with friends, so I wouldn't say I'm an expert. But don't worry, my opinion will be completely honest so you can take my word for it :)

All the past circle lenses I have had in the past are by GEO, as you can see on the bottle, there is a authentic check sticker which you scratch to review a series of code. You can enter this on http://geo.fw1860.com/ and this will ensure your circle lenses are truly genuine and safe to wear.

Colour & Design 4/5

I do love the shade of light brown of this pair of circle lenses which seems somewhat pixelated, although strangely, from the close up photo of my eyes, you can see a slight difference between the two lenses, which I have no idea why.

Enlargement 5/5

I didn't actually choose this pair of circle lenses for enlargement, I just wanted a lighter shade of brown for my eyes. So the size of 14.5mm is perfect as it's not too big that will make me look like an alien.

Comfort 4/5

They do make my eyes feel a bit dry after hours of wearing them, but hey, that happens with every other pair of lenses! If I'm wearing them for a short term, they just feel so comfortable as if I'm not wearing them at all.

So overall, these are a pair of great lenses and if you're looking for a pair of half natural, half creep people out pair of lenses, I would say go for these ones!

A BIT OF BLACK AND WHITE

 fedora from choies // cardigan from chicnova // tee from h&m // disco pants from charity shop // bag from jessica buurman // shoes  from wholesale-dress // circle lenses from  loveshoppingholics

It's such a shame that autumn has already arrived and I rarely get to wear this lovely cardigan, I wish it was long sleeve so it can give me a bit more warmth but then it would lose the beauty of draping at the perfect length... Anyway, I'm currently going through a hat phase, I need to stop myself from buying hats, as I am typing this, a devil horn beanie is on it's way in the post. 

Recently I've been doing more blog posts than videos, it's seriously so much easier and less stressful because it can literally take an entire day from filming to editing then rendering, in the process I would have to spend an hour to look for the perfect background music too! So until college has calmed down a bit more, I think I'll be focusing on my blog more. 

Speaking of college I originally got this bag and planned for it to be my everyday college bag, however it turned out to be smaller than I thought and I couldn't even fit an A4 notepad in it let alone any ring binders! Nevertheless, I love the two different textures on this bag and am going to use it as a casual day/night out bag instead! :)
