hey guys!

i know i haven't posted in ages, i just haven't had anything to post about! i have no inspiration:( i couldn't even think of a title-that's depressing. don't worry though, i only have 4 more days of school left until the summer so i'll be doing lots (and posting lots) then!

lots of love,

Hey guys!

i really really like crosses-necklaces, earrings, rings, tshirts, anything cross-related! but i'm not religious and some of my religious friends said that i shouldn't wear them because i don't believe in god. then on the other hand, some of my other non religious friends that i should wear them! so i do wear them because i really like crosses (as a fashion statement, not a religious one)/

but that got me thinking about how something can take over another thing completely, a symbol, for example. The cross was a symbol way before Christianity, but after Jesus was crucified on a cross, its become a religious sign. Also in Hinduism, the swastika was a symbol of Ganesh (one of their Gods) but now whenever you see a swastika you automatically link it with the Nazis. (the Nazi swastika is tilted, so they are slightly different)

but you get my point!

outfit of the day #5

hey guys!
today i just has school and FINALLY there's some hot weather! so i changed into this and went outside (i know it's not a really outdoorsy outfit but i was just on the swing). none of what i'm wearing is actually mine! they're all my mums old stuff (or stuff i've stolen from her wardrobe). i love these shorts, they go really well with lots of stuff and theyre so comfy!
the shirt was quite big so i pulled the sleeves up a bit and tied the ends to make it shorter. also, i love the cross necklace so much! it's really simple and quite long which is why i like it so much; also, it goes with loads of things!

shopping

hey guys!

my outfit of the day posts are still continuing! its just that i haven't had any really cool outfits recently. so i thought i'd share with you guys some of my favourite places to shop!

urban outfitters, topshop and zara are my main 3 favourites.

i just discovered this shop called ark, they have SUCH COOL STUFF and its really reasonably priced!
give all these websites a try, and ps: since i live in england, theyve all been linked to the UK websites!

outfit of the day #4

today i went shopping and had a friend over (she's still here, and says hello). This is the jumper i was talking about in my post from yesterday. its actually a small mens jumper that my mum had and has now given to me, but it is so cosy! i rolled up my jeans because i got bored of having them normal length:)

outfit of the day #3

so this is what i'm wearing today! i didn't do anything, stayed at home, did homework, watched tv, not much. again, this shirt is my mums! it's so long but i left it outside instead of tucked in because otherwise it went all poofy at the back and didn't look too good. the gold necklace i'm wearing is one of my favourites; my sister got it for me for my birthday and i love it so much, i don't know if you can see but it's 2 coins and it goes with everything! (and, it's seriously cool). i ordered these shorts a couple of weeks ago and i love them SO MUCH! when i saw them on urban outfitters website i couldn't stop going on about how i needed them, and finally my mum got them for me after i kept complaining about wanting them! the power of complaining, kids.

outfit of the day #2

this outfit was from 2 days ago and i was visiting family and staying overnight, so i wore this both days!
i wear loads of my mums old clothes, and i got this denim shirt from her-i love it so much! this may sound odd but i love collars (my oldold followers will know about this from my post about peter pan collars! but i'm going a bit more 'edgy' in my style so i love the sharp collar on this shirt, it works really well with a navy sweater i have (which you'll probably see soon!)

although we were travelling for a while, i didn't want to go too casual because it was a family barbecue. normally double denim is a big fashion no but since they were different shades i thought it looked quite good, and a bit different from normal trends (you'll probably notice that i don't like to always follow the crowd when it comes to fashion). i did my hair in a simple bun again (you cant see, but it was a really high bun!) the whole outfit was cosy and simple, yet not too boring-i hate boring!

outfit of the day #1

Hey guys!

I know i haven't posted in so long, but i've been so busy with exams, its horrible:(
so i'm going to be posting a lot of outfits/fashion type things, just to change things up a bit on my blog;)

so i got these rings a couple of weeks ago from Topshop, i don't have many rings but i saw these and thought they were really cute! they're a bit tacky but oh well, they're fun and were so cheap! they were originally £12 but i got them for £3.50 on sale. BARGAIN! they have lots of different types of these rings at Topshop- omg, kiss, wish, loads more. i think these are cute and they go really well with a lot of things!

and those 3 photos above were my first OUTFIT OF THE DAY post! i'm really into fashion so i thought i'd share with you guys what i wear! i'm going to start doing this a lot, because *trying not to sound vain* i have some interesting fashion choices and i don't always follow trends, so i thought i'd show everyone!

this is what i wore today. i didn't have much going on; i didn't go out because it's cold, i just had my sisters over for lunch and it was all really casual and laid back. i have this purple stripy vest from jack wills that i don't really wear because 1) i'm against jack wills. they have basic clothing, not even that good quality but RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. it's crazy. i think that vest was £19.99; that's just unreasonable. you may be wondering why on earth i would buy anything from there considering i hate it so much (i hate a lot of those brands too-abercrombie, hollister, gilly hicks-because they take advantage of teenagers wanting to fit in and look cool so they spend £100 on a tshirt and a skirt. i speak from experience; i used to love jack wills until i realised that a lot of their clothes are ugly and expensive. the only reason i bought it was because i got given a voucher from a family member 2 years ago, and this was what i bought. 2) it was the smallest size available and it's extremely low cut and very long, so it's hard to wear things with (which is why i tucked it in). that was why i have a grey vest underneath!
moving on from that rant, today was so casual so i just put that together and BAM the outfit is done! i've only worn the purple vest 2 or 3 times? so not really a good buy for anyone wondering. the cardigan, also from jack wills, bought with the same voucher, is amazing. it was also stupidly expensive but i've used it so much it's worn out! but i love it.
i really like crosses although i don't believe in god and am not religious, which a couple of my friends find odd but i wear them as a fashion statement, not a religious/anti religious statement.
since today was so laid back, i did my hair in a quick bun and i already had my nails painted. normally i wear much more exciting things, but hey ho, at least i didn't spend all day in my pajamas.
