~ stay, mister.

| peplum top(size XS):  oasis | jade jeggings(size 8): oasis | nails: Model's Own "Feeling Blue" |

Hello cutest top everrr, lacey white peplum beauty! Got it a while back actually, been wearing it so much! And paired with my favourite ever jeans I've ever owned! It's so easy to dress up or down, I wore it to a little house party with these jeans and my KILLER new look chunkys, and it was such a cute outfit, and I never had to worry about it. 
Thought I'd show my new medical bracelet as it'll be making regular appearances as it's got a really difficult clasp and I have absolutely no idea how to get it off my wrist, but yeah, new and shiny, but mostly just looks like a simple arm chain.
4 days and counting, birthday time is quickly upon us!

DAILY WANT 25/08

Houndstooth and Chain Jacket: £69.99 @ Zara

The local Zara in my mall tragically shut down a few months ago (stupid Apple store took it over, boo), so I have been totally missing out on Zara's amazing tailoring and classic prints. I have been after a jacket like this for ages, something a bit heavier than a cardigan and lighter than my biker jacket, this would be PERFECT! Seeing as the print is big and bold, yet still B&W, I could pair this with SO many things, and could dress it up or down for casual or for the night. As there's no Zara near me anymore, I shall have to wait until I'm up in London and knowing my way around, or I could order it. Only 6 days until my birthday AND payday, that shall be a plentiful day, maybe I'll treat myself for my birthday.. Hmm..

~ back to what I was before.

| printed top(size 8): oasis | skirt(size 6): H&M |

I've loved this top since I bought it about a week ago, but I literally couldn't find anything to wear with it, to really show off it's cool and unique shape. I've had this little skirt for like so many years now, and I tend to neglect it and it never really sees the light of day much, but I was having a tidy and re-discovered the beauty! Then it clicked that they would be a very cute pairing! And I think it looks really cute together, so there we go, a new outfit made of new and old, love it!
The nails don't really go with the outfit but, haha, they go with my work uniform! Model's Own in Pastel Pink with a Wah Nails for Model's Own pink nail pen to do the leopard art. Something a little different, and it looks really cute against my work outfit as the nail art pen is slightly fluorescent, so it really makes them pop!
It's only a week tomorrow until my birthday!! You guys have no idea how excited I am getting, it's finally so close! Also, congrats to everyone who got their GCSE results, hope you got what you wanted!

DAILY WANT 21/08

           
Paisley Print Blouse: £165 @ Urban Outfitters

I pretty much think this entire outfit is bang on, but I am dying over this shirt! It is so cute I can't even get over it, I'm definitely ignoring the price tag.. Y'know, pretending it's about a tenner.. Just for my sanity. I do love the entire ensemble, and those shoes are pretty sweet! I cannot justify spending that much on a blouse though, it's way too extravagant, maybe this will inspire a mass search for a similar knock-off for a tenth of the price, (fingers crossed!), as I need this shirt in my life.

~ back to the sun, back to the shore.

| blouse(size XS): zara | jade jeggings(size 8): oasis | blinging shoes: oasis | nails: models own "feeling blue" |

Oh how victorian this blouse makes me feel, had it for years and I still love it just as much. It's quite thin and it's an easy way to spice up a simple pair of jeans and plain pumps, a nice frilly top! And again, living in the Jade Jeggings, so soft, comfy and slimming, honestly my legs look incredible in them (not to sound too conceited, mind). These are the shoes I have been after for months! Been literally oggling them in work, but alas, they sold out of my size straight away, as per usual. But about a week ago we had a random replenishment tote in, and there they were! I must admit, I squealed a little bit.. But they are golden, honestly. They are soft, so no breaking in period! Can literally wear them to my hearts content and no blisters! They do really jazz up any plain outfit, and I also got a bag in work that matches them PERFECTLY (see here), it was the perfect day for shopping in work, that's the problem with working in Oasis, I earn the money and then in goes directly back in to their tills, sly boots..
I rediscovered my love for Model's Own polish yesterday! This blue is SO vibrant, people are really drawn to it haha! Something simple, but still pops without the hassle of adding nail art, just not feeling it this time, haha!
It's now only 11 days until my birthday! Eek, I guess I'll have to grow up soon... NAAAAHT. But me and mother went in town today, we've already got my birthday party dress (here) and we bought some gorgeous nude patent platforms from Debenhams, and then a matching patent bag from Next, (here and here), birthday outfit finally sorted! And 25 days until I move to London, oh my gosh. It's finally becoming real, me and mumma are getting emotional every evening with the same conversation "who is going to hug me when I go to bed up there, Em?" I love that woman, and will probably Skype her every night for that cuddle.. Bless..

Hillary Strapless Body: £25 @ Motel 

I absolutely love bodys at the moment, I don't actually have one (..yet) but I'm just thinking in my mind so many gorgeous outfits they can make up! This one especially is so beautiful, it's just a gorgeous print and the colours it contains will literally go with so much, the main colour is black so that's a gem right there, but there is some navy, green, pink, cream, so you can pop in with so many different shoes/trousers/skirts/bags etc! I've made a new rule for myself, if I can't think of about half a dozen things for an item to go with, I am not allowed to buy it (okay maybe mother made that rule, but it does make sense.. I guess.)

~ it's your chance to make it.

      
| jade jeggings (size 8): oasis | van-alikes: deichmann | relaxed t-shirt(size 6): oasis

Got my girl to do my photos for me today, a proper full length outfit post for the first time! Thank Danielle for that one! It was a pretty simplistic look for me today, wasn't up to much, so it was nice and casual. LOVE the relaxed tee though, comfy and oversized makes for a nice but a bit fashionable too, not a total tramp haha! I have no idea where this scarf is from btw, my mother bought it back from Turkey, probably from a cheapy market school, but it's too cute right? Brightens up my plain outfit right? Good! Well that's what I was going for, hopefully it came across.. hopefully...
Good luck and congrats to everyone who got their results on Thursday! Hopefully you got what you needed and more!
