Jumper - New Look
Skirt - DIY
Converse - Office

Taken these photos in pretty much the dark (it wasnt as dark as it looked, flash has made it that way) but i wanted to show you what i wore today. This jumper is from last season but i havent been shopping in a while so havent got many new things to show you. Except this skirt. This is the one i made in the holidays with my grannys help. The pattern is really simple and the whole things took me about 4 hours to do. I am not sure where the material is from because my granny bought it with her but i think the pattern is so cute! I also couldnt resist popping a photo of my kitten cat in there because he was out whilst we were taking photos and wouldnt stop meowing.
Oh and i have tumblr now, alicelilym. Only just learning how it all works but i like it. If anyone is good with tumblr a few tips would be great. My exams are starting in just two weeks, just like everyone elses seems too. So my posts may not be regular up until then. Cant wait for them all to be over because i have so much lined to do after, cant wait. What are everyones plans for summer?

Used to get it in your fishnets, now you only get it in your nightdress

Tights - Sainsburys, Dress - New Look, Hoody - Superdry

I took these after college and had put my hair up for work, its not a pretty sight..
But i like this outfit at the moment. I find that tights and a dress is really one of the comfiest outfits that you can wear. And it looks way more attractive than sweatpants for college (although i do like the idea of a cosy day in a pair of sweats.)
I am going to London tomorrow until tuesday, so probably won't post until i get back. But that doesnt make much of a difference seeing as i am not really posting regularly lately. That will change! I will be posting on twitter whilst im away though so follow me here. We are hitting Portobello Market tomorrow, near to where i used to live, the V&A on monday and not sure what we are doing the rest of the time.
Hope everyone has a good half term.

Turning heads for all the wrong reasons

Clockwise: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Ive made a couple of online purchases lately. I was tempted by the free postage at new look and have decided to keep two of the three things that i have bought! I bought an American Apparel voucher off Groupon on Gem's reccomendation, it caused such a kafuffle because we thought it had gone through, then it hadnt, now it has and we ended up ordering 3 (ooops!) So i had £50 to spend online, £50 to spend instore and £50 went to my sister. Been wanting the alphabet top for an age so im glad i had an 'excuse to buy it'. The socks are a little extra for my boyfriend :) The tunic is from topshop like i said i was going to buy. The others are from new look. The peter pan collar is too cute and very easy to wear. I was dissapointed with the blouse though cause the material is really clingy and just doesnt sit well.
Back in not shopping world i have been working, 3 shifts already, and although its hard work i am really enjoying it. I get to see my boy after a whole two weeks because of exams and so much else going on. And also i would just like to say hi to all my followers. 50, wow. Thank you!
