Feb Future

Some hints towards my plans for Feb 14th.

Bitter

Today was bitter. Today was not my finest hour. I woke up in the early hours of the morning with a horrendous throat infection, but that doesn't mean the show can't go on.

I still cracked on with life - though it might've not been the most sensible of moves as I just crashed for a good two hours! 

Hat - H&M // Cowl Neck Knit - Forever21 // Jeans - Topshop // Boots - New Look // Coat - Vintage Topshop // Wrist Cuff - Unknown vintage

I'm wearing everything from the high street, which I usually stray away from. I like online boutiques, such as ASOS Marketplace, Whitepepper and Vintage shops. But I needed a good pair of jeans that would keep me warm in the cold winters and these do the job, paired with the rest of my garb. 

I wouldn't recommend the Knit though. As wonderful as the shape is, it's itchy and prickly (but I see that as a sacrifice for looking the way I want to look). 

Until next time!

OVERSIZED AGAIN?

This February I'm going to finally come to terms with the fact that I really love wearing oversized everything. Whether that be jumpers, shirts or plain tees - I just adore the comfortability of it all and the way it looks. It has multiple benefits, such as making your legs look super sleek and long, you are cozy and warm for the entire duration of wearing said oversized garment and damn, do you look stylish. 

It's a benefit that it's more or less trending right now too!

Pair it with my second favourite thing to wear, which consists of a super natural makeup look and a daring contrast -  deep crimson lips - and you're on the right track to feeling fly.

So this month I'll be sticking to this aesthetic and showcasing how I style and wear it - aside from Valentines Day, which will be a blogpost in itself for what I have planned... Exciting, no? 

Love, Belle x

Life as I Know It

It's suddenly 2015 and since my last blog post a lot has happened. 

I got into another university, I had a vast summer full of ups and downs and made new acquaintances. I went abroad. I fell in love - something I never expected to happen. I lost a friend. I lost a dear woman, my grandmother. I went to University. I inevitably failed due to struggling with the bereavement. I gained new skills and got tattooed and now I'm on the path to self employment. The path to being independent and being 20 years of age.

This year will be the year of success.

I wave goodbye to 2014 with part hurt and part relief.
