my style

Yes, Dad takes the pictures! (You can see him in my glasses)

WHAT I WORE:River Island Sleeveless Top, Primark ‘Cheryl Cole Style’ Dress, New Look Aztec Top (Underneath), White Trousers (Not sure where from), Claire’s Sunglasses & €1 Charity Shop Sanstone Walking Boots.

If you’re wondering where I got my Jumbo Hairspray (Fake) Bottle from, well, I made it! My mum had these big cardboard things which were for holding some clothes moth protectors, and I thought I would make something of it! I use paper mache, then sprayed it gold, and then just added everything else! I would love it if L’Oreal were to release one of these, it would solve all our ‘not enough spray’ worries! Also, do you like my GIF? I thought it would add the something extra to my OOTDs… 😀

What were you wearing today? Do you wear Walking Boots as a fashion statement? What’s your best bargain?

The other day when we were out on a walk (and doing my last post pictures), we found our first proper Charity Shop! It was actually the French Red Cross, and we actually met an English lady in there who told us a few things. But, most importantly, we found an amazing pair of €1 Worker Boots! Now, many of you will know that I am dying for a pair of Dr Martens, but I still don’t have them! These boots though, for €1 are pretty cool… In other bargain news, my sister recently bought 2 pairs of Kurt Geiger shoes for £19 each, one pair in which was £75 originally, and the other pair was £65! BARGAIN!

BEFORE…

Pretty Good? Huh?!

I would probably call myself a boots person, as I generally find you can work them in so many different ways. Some people might find that worker boots would look quite big and chunky on me, but I really like them! These are a perfect fit, and they are pretty worn, and dusty, so that’s why I’m showing you what €1 can become… For some reason I can’t find any info or links about this brand though… hmm….

AFTER….

Amazing Results after a long wash!

I am extremely happy with the results! The lighting in the first batch of pictures was different, but they are a lot more red! They took quite a while to dry after, but this is the actual result! I had to give them a good scrub with the Suede brush because they were pretty rough, but now they are nice and smooth! They look way more expensive than €1, right?

Make sure to tell me what you think, and also tell me you best ever bargain, by leaving me a comment below!

Today we went to Castres to the Hairdressers. It is very cold, but I braved it for you guys, and had my pictures without a coat! We also had a nice Subway, which I haven’t had since moving, a nice Almond Croissant, and then afterwards we went to a tea cafe. As you can see I just had a trim, and then platted bits on the sides of my hair. I really love the collar trend, and I decided to wear it today, because I saw Becky from Lifestyle Flash wearing it, and I thought, ‘I must find that shirt!’.

*Cheesy Grin!*

What I Wore: M&S School Shirt, New Look Trousers, H&M Belt, Primark Boots & A Necklace from a Car Boot Sale! (It really goes with everything, and only cost me £2!)

Yummy! Almond Croissants & The Tea Cafe 😀 The sign says…. no freaky people! Haha. Just kidding, it says that there is a knitting club on Wednesdays for €10 😀

What did you wear today? Did you rock the collar trend? If you did leave me a comment, and if you didn’t feel free to leave a message anyway! 

The reason for calling this look, ‘Night & Day’ is the fact that I am working my new Monochrome Coat (€20) and then yellow and orange, so White & Black for Night and then the bright colours for the day, and the sun. I am on my balcony in the pictures, and the views here are amazing. I swear the sky is bigger…

What I Wore: Zara Dress Top (Underneath), Matalan Peter Pan Top, New Look Orange Trousers, John Lewis Boots (They were £30.00 but I got them for £12.00 last year), 2nd Hand Dalmation Coat (€20.00) & 2nd Hand Leather Look Bag (€8.00). Make-Up: Miss Sporty Mascara & Collection 2000 Hotlights Lip Gloss.

Yesterday we went to a place called Mazamet which is near Castres in the Midi-Pyrenees. Along the way we visited other little towns and villages, which was the perfect spot to start of my 2013 Style Series. It was extremely cold, and there was a slight drizzle where we were because there was a man made spring near the river. There were some French school pupils on a trip, and I think one of them said ‘Why aren’t they speaking French’, or something along those lines. The reason I call this Outfit ‘Pop Of Colour’ is because it was quite a cold and grey day, and there was so much fog you couldn’t see anything. My trousers where the ‘Pop Of Colour’ in the day, and so was the sky when we were actually above the clouds and fog at one point. (Where we live is very hilly, and high up).

You can see my Ombre is starting to grow out 🙁 I don’t think I’ll have it done again either… See my How To Care For Ombre Hair: The Products Video here.

What I Wore:WOW River Island Jumper, New Look Checkered Blouse (Re-Vamped), New Look Orange Skinny Trousers, Primark Boots, Matalan Beret, Les Halles Gloves & John Lewis Coat.

I love my coat! It’s really warm, and cosy, and also looks really nice with boots and trousers. I also love my beret, if I add my geek glasses it really works the Geek Chic look.
