Epic Myth

I am sorry for neglecting my blog for, well let's face it, it has been months. I am just coming to the end of my college year and it is manic. In the time that I am not at college I am finding myself too lazy to take photo's of my outfits and even look at my blog. However, lately I have managed to sort that out a little!

Jeans - Thrifted
Shoes - Dr Martens
Shirt - Men's

Bag - Vintage

This is what I put together for college today. I bought these jeans in a charity shop for just £1 last year and they are slowly becoming my new favourite pair. I love how high waisted they are and they are so comfortable. Maybe a little skinnier on the legs would be good but then, I like them loose with my chunky shoes! As they are so highwaisted, I though this bandeau top would be perfect with it, but I was feeling too revealed so I added an old checkered shirt which i stole from my boyfriend, white socks, black bag and I was ready.

Oh, I must not forget to mention my new necklace i got for... 8p!! Yes, 8p brand new in a charity shop. I got a few...

Hope you all have had a good week and it feels good to be back! :)

Burgundy and black

This is just a casual outfit from me as usual. My creepers, DIY denim shorts (as you can SO tell), a man's T shirt and my new jacket; It was only £1.99 and it is real suede. Absolute bargain!

It is half term next week so I will definitely get something sorted with my blog so i can really follow everyone and stay updated with your blogs!

Have a good weekend guys

Things May Change

Nothing interesting today. I am seriously slacking on posts again. I have been trying to sort so much out, including the fact that when i click 'Follow' on your blogs, it allows me to follow, but they don't show up on my dashboard and it is telling me i only follow 13, when i actually have successfully followed at least 50!

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

This also means that when i have spare time, i can not rely on my dashboard to show me all the posts i have missed, and i miss loads out to comment. This makes me sad and not want to blog :( I would appreciate it if anyone could sort this out for me though!

Top: Thrifted
Skirt: Vintage
Bag: Primark

Here is a little music for you too.

Her Way Of Praying

They say absence only makes the heart grow fonder... have you missed me? Ha, well. I have just had too much going on to really think about or time out to blog, although I have found myself just sitting here doing nothing at times, I guess I am just making excuses?

I have just been working on my college stuff, fashion and photography. I am thinking about applying to some London colleges to study fashion further but I have until Friday (Yes, Friday!) to perfect a personal statement and apply! Who knows what will happen...

Throughout all of this, I also took the time to go an get my nose pierced (Finally). Just a plain silver stud at the moment but, as soon as it heals up, I will be going for a ring. Some of my family hate it, but they are boring. I like it. That is all that matters right?

Since my last post, we have flown past Christmas, and the New Year!! I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday season! Mine was pretty average. I didn't do much on New Years Eve, and I was working lots over the Christmas period!

On a brighter note; here is an outfit post.

Thrifted Blouse
H&M Dress/skirt
Asos Tights
Vintage Bag

Here is my nose stud too!

 

I still can not explain my love for these shoes. I will soon be investing in a new pair and new colour. I recently wore these out and got them a bit messy, via spilled beer. I need to clean them :(

Also, this blazer is actually being sold on Ebay right now - HERE!

Black Rooster

I packed 3 bags filled with a variety of garments, shoes and accessories and headed down to Albert Road - which is a very good and local place for bars, food, vintage and charity shops. My friend lives there.She is currently studying Photography at Portsmouth University and she is very, very talented.

Sometimes, I help her out so she can build up her portfolio, and it also gives me a collection of interesting images to blog than what I usually have!

I finally got to her house and I settled my belongings down then started to rummage. She knew what she had in mind for the shoot but I wasn't sure, so I took as many different things with me as possible to ensure she got what she wanted. After all, this is her work.

After dismissing the heels, we finally settled on a casual outfit. It consisted of my black Dr. Martens, suspender style tights, a plain striped vest and a fringed jacket. Pretty basic, but I guess the dramatic element (for me) was the wig. We tried many different ones. One was long, red and curly, one was short and black, and there was even a green one! 

However, this was it. This was the one she wanted to use. I looked stupid at first. I felt stupid. I have had black hair before, but it has been years since i have seen it this colour! However, after the make up was applied, the look was coming together and I was getting used to it.

I still don't think I could return to this colour though.

We headed down the road and found a wide alley, leading to a small shop. It was perfect. I was (sort of) out of the way from everybody seeing me and, from a photographers point of view, the lighting was good!

I was very, very uncomfortable doing this down such a busy street. People were staring and making comments as they were passing by, but i just had to get on with it!

I did enjoy doing this, and my friend was pleased with the outcome, but I will definitely say that 'modelling' isn't my thing, but it was an enjoyable experience for a normal person like me!

I will put the link to her website on here as soon as she finishes it so you can all check out her amazing work!

I hope i didn't bore you too much!

Rip It Up and Start Again

Hey :) I have been a little bit busy lately (again). I have a fairly big deadline for Friday and i am far from finishing it. In fact, I should be doing it now but...

This isn't really much of a post, i just picked this jacket up the other day as i thought it was quite cool. Originally, it was going to be for mine and Harriet's eBay shop but its weirdness has slowly grown on me.

I apologise for the quality and darkness of these, the day was horrible!

It is actually made in Guatemala or something like that, so it is Mexican/Carribean?

I just went for a comfortable outfit and teamed it with my Dr Martens, leather trousers and a tee.

Since my last post, i managed to get myself down to The Wedgewood Rooms (our local music venue) to see a band called The Heartbreaks who were actually supporting The Ordinary Boys this night. Aswell as playing some of their old stuff, they also played a couple of new songs which were very impressive! You should definitely check them out.

Thanks for all my new followers too, you are all so lovely and i really appreciate everything you have to say!

Everybody Looks Better In The Right Light

Do you ever get those nights where you just lay awake thinking about everything? Well, yes. This is one of those nights. I don't even know why i am still awake. I would love to go to sleep right now - what i am thinking about isn't even important but i can't rest. Nevermind, i am sure i will sleep soon!

I have managed to comment all those who have commented me back, and check out your blogs! I am so impressed. I can not wait to get mine going and looking good... i will work on that another night when i am restless i think :) But yes, thank you for taking the time to comment! And thank you to Harriet for linking me on her blog.

I have been wanting to wear this skirt for a long time. I picked it up in a charity shop for £3.50 but everytime i thought about it, and wore it, it never seemed right. But, i got this outfit together very quick without even thinking too much and i quite liked it!

The top is actually a bodysuit. I love the fringed sleeves, it makes me feel like a bird (i have no idea why or how, but it does!)

Top: Topshop
Belt: Thrifted
Skirt: Vintage
Hat: EBay

I thought i would add some print with my tights and my fur hat.

I hope you like it!

Love nicole xx

The night i wore this outfit i went to see The Vaccines and Frankie and the Heartstrings were supporting them.   I have to admit, i preferred them.
