Oy with the Poodles already!

 Poodle skirt: H&M Trend // cut out jumper: & Other Stories // Lace up shoes: Primark // Purse: Philip Lim // Fur ball: Tourist shop in Iceland // small charmed necklace: Accessorize // branch necklace: Forever 21

Frantically adding scuba full skirts to my wardrobe like a desperate addict. My longer ones I have a habit of wearing to work, why? It's like wearing a duvet on your bum and why deny comfort like that?! On the weekends off, go braless for some middle boob cleavage (unsurprisingly not a thing) and don your wildest scuba skirt in the country.

You are not a saint

Oh this skirt, what an epic love story. I saw it online but it was sold out in all sizes but the largest, so, the strategic stalking began. Finally, after a few weeks of obsessive shopping disorder one came back in so I dived on it. When it was delivered, what a good thing to come home to, I hugged it and loved it, then tried it on... Oh.. issue. Either my bum is disproportionately large or the zip in this skirt was too short. Regardless, the only way to get it on was over my head. Distraught, the love affair was over. I desperately tried to find it when I was in London, the shop assistant must have thought I had a problem as I explained my butt to waist ratio and cursed my genetics. No avail. By then I was way past my return date as well so I had two options, build a shrine to my once glorious love or get the scissors out. Scissors and a new zip later my faith in true love was restored.

Forever yours skirt,

(unless my bum increases again in size)

I have worn this skirt for a post before, however, since giving it a rather severe cut and hem I felt the need to whip it out again. I think this length is far more suitable for everyday wear, grandma skirt length was a little harder to wear. However, for those who don't agree and enjoyed the length before I was released on it with scissors and a spare afternoon, I sat in bird poops while taking these pictures. Does the good luck/ bird poop thing only apply for a direct hit from a moving bird? If so, damn.

Mutant and proud

Something you may or may not know about me. I love a bit of X-Men. Not the films, except First Class (don't get me started on lack of continuity and how inaccurate it was to the real thing though). I am meaning X-Men Evolution. I spent many hours of avoiding learning my times table watching the team take out the Brotherhood. My lame extent can be measured by my personal email address which may or may not have included Shadowcat somewhere in it.  Basically the only way I will give up my last name is if I marry a Mr Frost.

 So, we have all thought about it, what would your superpower be?

Favourite Things

Goodness, it's been a while since I've had one of these posts, feel like it's a bit of a cheat to give one "Favourite Things" to one outfit post a week. Must try balancing my life a bit better. I did work out that working takes up at least 10 hours of my day including travel and the over time I end up putting in. That leaves me the maximum of 6 hours in the morning and the evening to have a life. Struggling. Work has been exciting though, and I have been enjoying it even though it is tiring. It still hasn't registered that I am not going back to University yet. Anyway, here are the things I have been enjoying this week.

Above is my kitty vanity case. I have been spending very few nights at home, due to a mixture of traveling and staying over elsewhere that having something to keep all my cosmetics and skin care in has been a savior. Now, I in no way think this case is tasteful, the cats are super naff, but I don't care. It's from Forever21 if anyone is also into the Aristocats Marie reincarnated into a wash bag. 

 

How sweet is this nail polish packaging? My sister found them for me from Etude House which is a Korean website. I mean, it looks like an ice cream?!

My necklace splurges as of recent. Top left: New look, as previously stated, I love anything Egyptian influenced in a piece of jewellery so when I saw it pop up on ASOS I bought it. Top Right: H&M, might be coral, I think it is at least, if not it is a very convincing copy. Bottom Left: Primark, a good size as it sits nicely on the neck and can just get tossed out when it starts to look a bit passed it. Bottom Right John Lewis. It is lovely, very much like a Chanel one that I have numerous pictures saved of. It is so heavy though. It pulls on my neck and by the end of the day I can start to feel my head hit the desk due to the weight of the thing. 

Hopefully I will post on Tuesday but I will be flying back from Manchester that night and have no idea what time I will get in. Hopefully it won't be like last time and I will get my luggage before the next Manchester flight gets in... Maybe I should go pack now...

What are your favourite things this week?

Blinded by your own reflection

 (Dress: H&M (past seasons), Leather harness: Topshop, Shoes: DIY, Ankle cuffs: eBay, Necklace: Forever 21, Bracelets: Misc/ Marc by Marc Jacobs, Madewell, DIY) #teenvogue

I love a harness, hand harness, body harness and even a leg one, so I guess it was only a natural progression to end up here with a leather one. I had my eye on one on ASOS but it sold out in my size, so looked on eBay. Worst idea ever. If you do search "Leather harness" in eBay, may I suggest private browsing. Woah. Anyway, this one in Topshop popped up and I like it a lot, the nude makes it a lot less harsh and even the shape is really flattering! If you can get your hands on a leather harness, maybe even a bondage one, try it with dresses, I really enjoyed it. Also loving it over coats, pulls in the waist a bit!

Favourite Things

1. Make-up Brush lovin'. I am not a make-up girl and I never will be but when you get a tool that makes your easy make-up look just that bit better with minimal effort I am there. I love brushes, excluding the odd feeling that I am in fact, painting my face. Seen above is a mix of the Body Shop, Forever21 and the infamous Real Techniques core collection. I find the face brushes my biggest savior, it really makes my foundation last longer and saves that streaky tide mark, which, I ashamedly have had more than once. I actually love the Forever21 ones, they were awfully cheap and it gives me the tools to mess around with eye make-up- aka practice my panda/ Taylor momsen black eyes.

 2. Casual bird watching. My garden, it is bird free. Full of 5 killer cats though. However, Stuart lives with two pups that the birds seem indifferent about so I actually get to see wildlife. Here's a blue tit... ahhh, tit... funny.

3. Made some twee cupcakes. I love my new piping nozzle that makes this grass effect, it was originally purchased to make a cake for my granddad's birthday- he likes bowls, grass piping nozzle seemed logical. Anyway, before I ruined an 80th birthday cake figured I should try it out. Made chocolate cake soil too- commitment to twee! Also, surprise:

Tony couldn't leave me alone for a minute. Creeper going to creep! (And kill birds)

 Happy Sunday everyone!
