Can You Do the Two Step Two Piece?

Hello everyone :)
 
 
 
So its Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday and it should be payday however this month is the worst kind of month. The DREADED 5 WEEK month! Who seriously invented these, I mean really? As if having a freezing summer wasn't bad enough.
 
This week has consisted of me mainly adding more items to my already heavy wish list, but I've started getting bored with the same brands I am going back to so if anyone has any suggestions of good online shopping websites leave a comment to let me know please.
 
 
 
So I have taken note of the two piece suit craze and I wasn't sure if it was for me but I seen this kimono and knew I needed even if I had to wear it NAKED! Now I've had a taste for it I WANT MORE, so my next mission is to find a tropical mix print one as I unfortunately am not going abroad this year so I need my summer fix some way.
 
 
My travel needs are bursting though and I have conducted many new road trips with a few of my
besties,  I cannot wait for Brighton I am getting the biggest whippy ice cream cone there ever was!
 
 
Kimono: H&M £19.99

My obsession has now grown from films like D'jango and I think I'm a real cowboy now so I bought a leather jacket fron River Island with tassels down the back and arms, I love it, however I do get the odd weird look, but nothing new there. Wait till you see it you will love it!
 
Oh and sorry for looking so moody, the wind was driving me CRAZY!
 
Right until next time,
 
See yous

Grunge? Me? Really?

Hello all!
 
 
 
 
Happy Wednesday everybody, this means its halfway through the week and not long until the weekend which is great for full timers and ultimately sole destroying for part timers working in retail.
 
So this week I have finally won my FREEDOM uni is no more, its been great I've even been sleeping in until 11am, so so so lazy.
 
 
So one of my favourite high street brands has to be Missguided and if you follow them on Instagram lately you would have noticed they are in Ibiza styling for a summer commerical look book. I literally want to die, this is my dream career and they are at a water park having fun. No joke everytime I see a post I want to eat my own fist with envy.
 
 
With my new found freedom I've been catching up with some hommies since I've been neglecting my social circle for long enough. Yesterday I caught up with my big clone Laura to bake cupcakes and watch Tom and Jerry, we're big kids really. Then whilst snooping through her wardrobe I noticed it was so varied and mines is very predicable so I decided to take a leaf out of her book and clone her style a bit. So this grunge 90s look is very well, not me, but I kinda like it. Its a hell of a lot comfier anyways. I tend to have very boyish humour and outlooks on life so maybe its time I start dressing like one...hmm..no.
 
 
Jacket: Topman £10 (They sell them in Topshop now but for £48 :( )
Shirt: Topshop £32
Dress: Missguided £14.99
Boots: River Island £55

Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters £16

Oh, and I realise this headband makes me look like a gypsy/pirate.
 
See you soon.

We're Up All Night To Get Lucky

Hello All!
 

 
So this title refers to that AMAZING song by Daft Punk and Pharrel, plus I really am up all night to get lucky at the moment....and by that I mean up all night revising for a very undeserved pass, nothing else!
 
Its super sunny today so I really struggled to get some good shots for you all but these were the best out of a bad bunch. This colour I have decided is great for spring, not so much for summer. The BEES AND WASPS that attacked me was unreal, I am not a flower!
 
 
So this jumper has barely left my body as its so comfy and slouchy I can literally pair it with anything, plus I don't need to explain my neon obession. However sadly it is dieing away now as I am a walking target for stings :(. The bag in this post is actually probably the most grown up and stunning bag I've ever owned. It was a present from my lovely besties at uni, no idea how they knew I had my eye on it, probably because of the yellow panels, I'm so predictable. Maybe I need to turn goth or something. GIRLS I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL.
 
 
My Ray Bans I always have a love/hate relationship with, sometimes I love them, then other times I feel like a clone because even homeless people are wearing them. Jeez.
 
Shirt: Topshop £32
Jumper: H&M £13.99
Skirt: Miss Selfridge £35
Necklace: Republic £13.99
Bag: River Island (present)
Sandals: River Island £55
Sunglasses: Ray Bans (present)
Bracelets: Topshop £15
 
 
 
I have also noticed I have started using this blog as a form of procrastination to not revise, however it is better than photoshopping your own face to Jabba the Hut, awkward when your own MUVA catches you. Try explaining that one.
 
Hope you guys all have a great week.
See you soon.

Is That You Alice?

Hello all!



Man this week is killing me I'm pressuming all my fellow students out there are currently either a)living in the library, b) eating their weight in junk food whilst crying into a pile of pop tarts or c) past the point of caring and have adopted 'YOLO' as their life mantra.
 
Had my first exam this morning and THANK THE LORD the only two topics I revised came up hurrah! I also got a super cute 21st present from my favourite fashionista's hopefully it shall be poping up in a blog post tomorrow!
 
But as promised I wanted this post to be on the shoot I was on with PalomaViolet Photography you can check out her page here. The shoot was a really girlie, kitsh look on Alice in Wonderland, we wanted it to be located outside but typical british summer weather ruined it so when 'sneaked' into Winter Gardens. All clothing was provided by OUTFIT so check inside there if you want to get your hands on anypieces!
 
Hope you love the shots and I have some VERY exciting news but I can't even give a hint to it yet so you will just have to wait, muahahahaha.




 
So hopefully another post tomorrow as I have so much new pieces to show you all :)
See you soon.

Suns Out So LWD Time!

Happy Tuesday all!



A happy day it is too, I've just turned 21 and its sunny out HURRAH! So now that the sun has bothered its lazy ass to make an appearance it only means one thing a little white dress. Tan addicts worse nightmare, but it looks incredible in the sun.
 
Another busy week again, IT WAS MY BURFDAAAAY, so I headed to the hills to a country village called Galashiels, lovely BUT CRAZY place. The people there seriously know how to party, plus never wear heels in a village situation which hides in a valley, the falls were incredible. I am actually surprised in these photos that you cannot see my black eye, I hit myself in the face with a taxi door, typical Chloe fail moment. The next day we went shopping and out for lunch in Edinburgh, I have so much nice things to show you guys!
 
Sorry about this post being so quick and rambly today but I can literally feel my revsion books burning the back of my head.

Crop Top: Topshop £14.00

Is it Spring? Is it Winter?

Hello everyone!
 
 
 
Hope you are all good and for the students out there exam season hasn't destroyed your soul...yet.
 
I have had the busiest two weeks recently with two photoshoots to organise, which I can't complain about as I love working on them. I don't think people appreciate how much work and organisation goes into the shoot itself, trying to organise models, clothing, locations, photographer, MUA and moodboards is crazy. I do this on top of  uni revision. I EAT LOADS.

 
 
However it is so worth it as you get to make so many new contacts which is an essential activity
especially in the fashion industry. I am super lucky to know such talented people such as MUA Stephanie Milne, this woman is seriously talented and is definately one of the few big make up artists located in Aberdeen , if you want to see more I shall link you here.  As soon as I get the finished shots from our photographer I can then link you to the photographers details too, Its so rare to find talent especially in such a conservative city like Aberdeen.
 
RIGHT, back to my actual outfit choice!

I am really struggling at the moment on what to wear as I do not understand the weather, one part of me wants to dress all summery the other screams HELL NO, layer girl layer!!!
 
Sorry these pictures are poor, but it was super windy today and I have a cold. bleh.
 
 
LOOK AT MY SHATTERED I PHONE :(.
 
I LOVE MY NEW SHIRT, told you I would be obsessed with Zara I swear down that shop is definately doing it right this season so much gorgeous pieces. I'm still loving monochrome so this shirt was an instant buy. The skirt is most likely going to be hated by all, Its pleather and midi....My parents basically want to disown me when I wear it but ah well! I got this from Miss Selfridge which I haven't been loving recently but their new package is looking much better.
 
 
Beanie: H&M £3.99
Shirt: Zara £29.99
Skirt: Miss Selfridge £26.00
Heels: Zara £59.99
Bag: Missguided £29.00
Necklace (both): H&M both £6.99
Belt: Topman £12.99
 
Now I need to go and dive into more revision. LOVE LIFE

I'm A Natural blonde...Honest.

Hello again!




How are you all today? From these pictures you would never guess its April would you, Its getting so depressing now. GIVE ME THE SUMMER SUN. Okay cliche rant done.
 
I'm going to apologise now for my roots, I'm getting them done tomorrow and I literally might cry when its done. My hairdresser definately hates me as I always give her such a state to fix. Thing is it takes 3 hours to do and I get soooooooo bored. Plus I literally need feeding every hour. Like a Tamagotchi.


Jacket: River Island £45
Top: Saunt & Sinner (Price by request)
Shirt: Zara £35
Skirt: H&M £14.99
Shoes: Office £34.99
Clutch: Ebay £12.99
Necklace: Topshop £12.99


 I have already worn this skirt to death because its a great length and tends to go with absolutely everything under the sun, or no sun in this case. Its H&M again, I know sorry I tend to get addicted to a shop, I know already Zara will be my next addiction.
 
The top is actually STUNNING, its designed and made by the dynamic duo at Saunt & Sinner, I've been allowed to borrow it for a while, yay. I've always loved tartan and the colour and fit of this is great, it manages to be tailered yet super comfy too, which believe me is very unusual. The wool is all sourced from Scotland and is 100% authentic.


Now the shoes...I know most of you will think they are really ugly but I've always loved ugly things I really cant help it! They are like some form of loafer heel, its also a midi heel which is great for during the day and when your a dwarf.


I'm in Company Magazine today so checks it out if you fancy a laugh, I literally had no sleep for the shoot and I am surprisingly really awkard in front of a camera, plus during the interview I was on a sugar buzz so....yeah I'm sure its fine. Have a laugh at my social awkardness (Y).
 
Just a quick post as I literally have so much uni work to do I may cry :(.
 
See you soon.
