Two hundred degrees that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit

Do you ever see a sale on a website, and then spend hours going through each page one by one repeatedly till you find the perfect item? Then usually once you come across the items you practically desire they've sold out? Well, up until tonight I thought it was a curse that was completely unavoidable destroying my dreams cheap yet beautiful clothing. 

I'm unsure what possessed me to look at the New Look website, online shopping hasn't been on my agenda for a while, but I'm so glad I did because I found some right beauties here and not only are they beautiful they're the biggest bargain I've come across in a long time. Originally both these pairs of shorts were £20, so put that together it'd come to a grand total of £40 which would be well out of my budget and then completely ignored; however, the beige pair had been subtracted to £7 whilst the navy on £10 which still makes the pair cheaper than the original price of them. I love shorts for winter, it's mad considering we've just had summer but pairing them up with thick tights and boots is my favourite option. The blazer originally started out at a shocking £34, in my opinion that's ridiculous and I'd never pay out that amount of money, but bringing it down to £12, along with reality, I find it is a much more reasonable price. And the shoes, well they're gorgeous in my opinion. I've been searching for a pair of booties for so long, but none have ever been cheap and good quality so I gave up with the search but after seeing a £10 reduction they were the first thing I made sure I had. So overall I spent a good £49, however my gift card reduced it to £29 which is far better.

Shopping is a great passion, but I never have the money to spend. Any one else feel this way?

Day Two: My Favourite Top

In all honesty, not much effort when into choosing a favourite top and considering I have so many -as my wardrobe post displayed- you'd think choosing would be merely impossible. Alas, this was the t-shirt that made it to the top of my list and came out to be my favourite, it's just so easy to mix up to create a different mood to each outfit. Band tops tend to be easy to put together as an outfit, especially types like this where there is not established logo, it can be made grunge with a black body-con skirt, tights and hoodie but personally I like to girl up the outfit with my floral Doc Martens; it can be matched with roll up jeans and casual shoes like loafers or brogues; and lastly to possibly make this an evening outfit it can be paired with a high waisted chiffon skirt, and heels. Maybe it's only me who feels like this with a band tops, but I just feel they're so easy to create an outfit with.

Now for those who may or may not be familiar with this t-shirt, it is in fact a Cobra Starship top that has been proudly hung in my wardrobe for 3 years now. Complete madness, but completely true. It's became so tight that cutting off the arms to allow some room for stretching was the only way I could still have this as a t-shirt. I'm still not ready to part with it.

Having a jam packed wardrobe isn't as brilliant as it seems, most of the items hanging in there are crying out to be worn and are wasting away in there. I'm feeling an early Spring Cleaning session will be going ahead in binning and selling some clothing, but I'm such a hoarder!

So who else is like me and has a rather odd favourite item of clothing, and who else hoards things they don't need nor wear?

Day One: My Closet

Here it it, freshly packed with all the washing I was meant to put away a good two days ago but being me and lazy I have not. I'm not sure what I can say apart from I used to be very tidy, in fact it was all lined up perfectly in colour order. However, that made finding my favourite things a lot harder so I just put all the really nice things at the front, and the other bits get pushed to the back. I've been meaning to clean it out and throw things onto eBay but I never find the time (or miss the free listing) but with winter coming I'll need room for lots of jumpers and warm layering items. Cannot contain my excitement for winter!

What's your closet like? Is it neat and tidy with everything ordered in a certain way, or are you like me and just throw things into it?

PS. Sorry about the bowl, I'm not a complete tramp but I took this in the morning and I eat breakfast as I get dressed because it means more sleeping time, less getting ready time!

[Late] Sunday Portrait #4

1. Okay, I've not blogged in a good week now and for those who enjoy my blog I do apologise as I've been rather stressed/busy with college, boyfriend, and relaxing however I am trying to get a more organised schedule down and I even have a cute little diary to show this -nothing has been written down obviously but once ideas start flowing they'll be down! 

2. I did promise to start my 30 day challenge but had an issue as the entire weekend I was away at London at this convention meeting the one and only David Tennant, it was an amazing day even if I had to wake up at 5 in the morning to get ready and to the event place for half 6 to queue. My sister called me up on Saturday saying if I caught an earlier train I could come get Arthur Darvill's autograph if I wanted so I caught at train at half 2 all in the name of Doctor Who. I'm a massive geek deep down, I can't even pretend I'm not. 

3. At the event I managed to meet Evanna Lynch, Paul McGann, Arthur Darvill, the man who plays Winston Churchill in Doctor Who, Georgia Moffett and obviously David Tennant. David Tennant was lovely as well, when I went to get his autograph I told him how I watched all the Doctor Who episodes of his instead of revising (ops, not the best option) and he asked if I did well (which in all modesty, I did really well) and advised it to all and then continued to ask about what I'm doing at college and where I want to take that. No one can understand how much I nearly cried after all this because he had finished signing both mine and my sisters autograph by the time he got to asking about my GCSE's. Life is perfect.

How was all of your weekends? What have you done?

30 Day Challenge

Yes, a challenge, something I am terrible with sticking to but hopefully will! It's one of those things that I promise myself I will do, but when it comes round to it I end up forgetting! I'm pretty damn useless no lie! I shall be starting on the 1st (Saturday) so that I can keep track of the date along with the days, maybe this will encourage me to actually continue it, even though October will leave me a day extra -this may come in handy to "round up" the experience I guess. Anyway, just thought I'd give a little heads up to anyone following who may possibly take inspiration from this.
