Fashion | OOTD #3: All Grown Up

Yesterday was one of those days where I honestly felt like a grown up for a second. Despite the fact I'm twenty two and expected to have it all figured out by now, I rarely honestly feel like an adult, and more like I'm still seventeen playing grown up.

Yesterday was my most grown up day of my life so far. It started with a trip down to Manchester for a job interview I had, which I'm 98% sure I absolutely bombed. It was my second proper interview of all time (not counting the one I had to go on full-time at the company I'm with now, as I technically already worked there), and I got so nervous right before it started, simply because I realised how much I wanted the position.

I present to you now the outfit I wore yesterday, which I stressed out over a little as the company I work for is so not arsed about dress code that I haven't bought anything smart since my first interview there a few years ago. The pictures were taken with my actual camera, but the quality still isn't that good, and for some reason it's made my pictures smaller? Sad face.

Blazer - Topshop (Old)

Playsuit - River Island (Old)

Belt - River Island Cat Skirt (Here)

Shoes - River Island via Ebay (Old)

After my interview I was super bummed out 'cause of how terrible I thought it had gone, but there wasn't really much time to dwell on it as we (my boyfriend and I) had to go straight on to Manchester city centre, as he also had an interview there. Immediately after his interview, which took over an hour, we had to rush to a flat viewing, and we were actually a little late because his interview had ran on so long (he got a call as soon as he got in the car though, he got the job!).

Within an hour we managed to view three flats a little way out of Manchester city centre, and we're today currently in the middle of talking with the estate agent about applying for the third one we saw, which we weren't actually planning on viewing, but we were asked if we'd like to see it as it was right next to the one we had booked to view. Ugh, it all sounds stupidly adult to me! Fucking estate agents and flats and jobs, and ugh. Where's Peter Pan???? I want to go off to Neverland!!

Equally scary and exciting at the same time. I'm currently awaiting a call from the recruitment agency that got me the interview to find out if I did as terribly as I think. Wish me luck that I didn't!!

Are any of you looking for work or places to live? Is it just me that finds it scary still?

Fashion | OOTD #2: Holiday Clothes

I couldn't think of what to make the main feature of this Outfit Of The Day, so it's just my holiday clothes outfit! I love everything I'm wearing right now, I want each item to be the focus, so I think it's best to just make the whole outfit the main feature so nothing feels left out ;)

And in case you couldn't tell, I'm addicted to River Island...

T-Shirt - River Island (Here)

Dungaree Dress - River Island (Here)

Hi-Tops - River Island (Here)

This outfit is one that I bought purely for the purpose of my holiday in Barcelona. It's light, it's summery, and I love it! I bought the t-shirt at the same time as the dungaree dress because I thought the floral pattern on the t-shirt matched quite nicely with the little aztec print pocket on the front of the dress. I haven't yet broken in the hi-tops, in fact today was my first ever time wearing them, and because the back was so solid I had a nice deep groove wedged in the back of my cankle for about an hour after I took them off at the end of the day. Yum.

I wore the outfit above slightly differently throughout the day, as whilst I may have bought this for the hot sun of Barcelona (six days, bitches!), today the weather took turns inbetween glimmers of glorious sunshine and chucking it down, so I snuggled up in nude tights and two cardigans (there's a black cotton one underneath the knitted cricket one) as pictured below.

A little bit more suitable for England, don't you think? If you do OOTD posts link to them in the comments below, I'd love to read them! :)

Fashion | OOTD #1: River Island Cat Print Skirt

Welcome to my first ever Outfit Of The Day post.

I was a little nervous about it, and in fact I still am a little wary of it, but it seems to be quite a popular theme, so why not jump on the band wagon? :)

This post's main feature is, of course, the cat print skirt from River Island, which I mentioned in my last post. I LOVE cats. Always have. If I didn't have a boyfriend, I would most definitely grow old as a spinster with too many cats. As it happens, I do have a boyfriend (who very kindly took these photos for me), so it's going to be the two of us with lots of cats instead.

T-Shirt - River Island (Old)

Skirt - River Island (Here)

Shoes - River Island via Ebay (Old)

Excuse the photo quality, had to use my boyfriend's iPhone as my dad had taken the camera (which isn't really much better to be fair).

When it came to styling the skirt, I wanted to keep the rest of my outfit as simple as possible so as to give the skirt the spotlight. Layering multiple clashing prints may be a hot trend right now, but it's too busy for my taste. I tend to dress like an eight year old most of the time, so sue me. With this focus in mind (and I didn't realise this until this evening), I accidentally wore head to toe River Island. But if you read my last post, you know I love that store, so it was a happy accident ahahaha.

What do you think of the cat print skirt? Are you a big fan of River Island or cats? (If you answer yes to either of those questions, I think we can be best friends) Sorry if this post is a little awkward, I'm a bit camera shy haha.

Beauty | This Weekend

This weekend was just the lovely and relaxing quiet one I'd been hoping for. Friday night was spent hammering Ni No Kuni and watching Modern Family, on Saturday my car passed its MOT, I drove down to Wrexham to my boyfriend's flat, got my nails done, and Sunday was spent in bed just chilling watching MF and re-reading The Hobbit. Lovely :) completely ignoring the fact that I have like, four essays due in the next few weeks. Procrastination, you are the devil incarnate, and apparently my best friend. Booo.

I present my lazy, uneventful weekend in pictures:

Laundry day outfit, complete with a blazer I forgot I even owned.

Had a bit of an accident :( to the nail salon!

Having Instagram has made me a bit vain...

Ta da! All fixed, like magic!

I picked another Hologram Effect Layla Nail Polish as I'm still severely obsessed, this time in the colour Red Taboo. It's a gorgeous colour, really bright and gives off a shimmery sparkle whenever my nails catch the light. I'm slightly disappointed that it isn't more red, but hey ho. It makes a fantastic pink :)

I will post again soon, but these essays are starting to get on top of me, and I have to take as much advantage of having internet as possible. I hate college work, and no matter how old I get, I always leave things until the last minute.

Bye for now! x
