Theres a fire inside of you

The world of fashion and beauty most definitely comes at a cost, a cost we can barely afford. Black Milk clothing produce an amazing variety of graphic print clothing that some people are willing to spend £40 or more on, now I would if my allowance wasn't only £80 and I'd easily work hard to place the lot in my wardrobe, however situations have left most of us students alike; borrowing money from our parents and printing endless CV's. 

Personally I've wanted a pair of Lava or Galaxy leggings from the first sight, but after discovering the price it's safe to say I've been put off buying them for a very long time. We're all in the same position when it comes to money and thing's we want, searching endlessly for a job and having to save our money for the "important" things in life which is clothing to me, or working endless hours after being in college to look good for time we don't actually have. Either way, we're not going down the right track currently at all.

Taking a stroll through the website I came across several items, as Black Milk collections can be in for an extremely limited time, and as beautiful as all the items were, these 6  garments just screamed at me to be bought (oh how I could fulfil your dreams little ones). I love body suits so when I spotted the skeleton one I felt like it was made for me, graphic print bodysuits are a right pain to find and I've been searching ebay for a white suit like this but despite my efforts I never suceed -it's sod's law that once I finish this post and have a search they'll be one staring me in the face!- so I'd given up hope with that and only took a spilt second to see the price and lose faith in that also; but if I did suddenly come into the investment of £50 I would happily go out treat myself as long as I knew I still had money in the bank to spend; does anyone else get that dreading fear of not having enough money in the bank? Although the bodysuits are swimsuits people wouldn't know the difference, they both have the same style so why not be used for one of the same purposes which is to look great! 

Black Milk produces some brilliant items of clothing, they're unique, stylish, and made for people who don't care about other peoples opinions which I hope you are like.   

Much love

£150 to spend in Next

It's clear that Autumn is here with the weather not failing to hold back on cold moneys, strong winds and manic rain. I feel that it is time to bring out the winter coat, umbrella and find a waterproof bag for college! However, the weather doesn't stop fashion one bit at all! And Next are all stocked out ready for the A/W '11 season. I've stuck to burgundy trousers for my own personal look, but that doesn't mean this season doesn't stretch out to blush colours as well so be sure to find their blush pink roll up jeans. 

I personally love blazers, they're such a simple but strong addition to an outfit, as they're warm, stylish and suit nearly every outfit ever, what isn't to love? I've paired up the jeans with a oversized everyday white shirt, I didn't want to mix up to many different shades of brown with this outfit so I tried to stick to 2 types, which results in an easy every day casual outfit which is perfect for college, a trip out shopping, or possible even a date if you fancied jazzing it up with some brown suede heels. 

Sticking to a well in fashion pair of shoes definitely brings the outfit together, it all works well as something casual ready for Autumn and the cold days which you can pile layers underneath or possibly on top. I've thrown in a horse print scarf which reminds me of Miu's collections which easily can be ignored for those "hotter" Autumn days.

Be sure to check out Next's newest collection filling the store; they aren't always recognised for their fashion suiting younger adults, however they do produce some rare gems.

Blazer: £45 Shirt: £26 Trousers: £28 Scarf: £12 Shoes: £45

Total: £148

black and white

It appears I have developed a strong liking for black and white currently, seeing as it was only the other day I bought a striped black and white top from Primark it seems to be spreading across my fashion choices. I know the traditional colours for Autumn are caramel and beige colours but I find them all to boring recently, I must get a grip of myself and not pay out so much money for fashion as I'm buying my boyfriend's xbox next week most likely! 

However, if any little darlings wish to donate money to the "Lauren likes clothes" fund it'd be highly appreciated ;)

Sunday Portrait #1

Unfortunately I haven't got a photo of me today because I'm lazy and also I'm "attempting" to tidy my room, but these are photos from very late last night which I count as today so here is my Sunday portrait and outfit I got yesterday. 

I'm not sure what it is but something about Primark isn't as appealing as it once was, I mean I was shopping in there and only a couple of items really appealed to me, and the ones that did weren't in my size so the choice was invalid of what I could have. However I found some frilly socks which I have been wanting for so long, and I took the plunge and bought the berry coloured leggings because they'll be perfect with a shirt (like the one I found in the Primark sale) and a nice oversize Aryan wool cardi. If any one knows a decent (and cheap place) I could find one, please leave me a link or something because I'm desperate! 

The photo below shows the two day transformation I made with my hair colour, all a bit mad when you think about it, but luckily it's been over a week so the ginger has faded, the yellow has toned to a nice white/silver and it looks pretty awful still but I'm not unhappy with it. 

Oh also, I've become rather addicted to Dead Island and if anyone owns it and fancies sending it down to me so I can play it when I'm not at Joe's I'll be super dooper happy. 

Leave a comment saying what you think of the new colour, love you all oxo
