Tribal and gold.

Hi babies!

I went out to dinner with my family last night, and managed to hurriedly take a few photographs of what I wore before I left, so here they are!

Tribal print oversized shirt/tunic = vintage
Chelsea boots = eBay
Gold bangles = vintage
Rectangular "religious-images" bracelet = eBay
Black and gold ring = Christmas present from Ruby!
On my lips = Forever Living's "Sonya" in #120 ("Sheer Bliss")

Sorry this is such a rushed post! I'm off out today to get some last minute Christmas shopping done. Busy, busy!

See you lovely ladies soon!

Tribal and gold.

I went overboard.

As you can probably tell from the amount of photographs in this post, I went a bit snap-happy tonight. I think I need that from time to time, in all fairness. It's very therapeutic.

In other news: I'm finally off for two weeks for Christmas. I am so glad I get some time off college now- it was getting a bit too stressful for me to deal with, in all honesty. I definitely need this break!

Anyway, here's on to the outfit (and hey look!~ there's proper, high-quality-ish photographs thrown in there too!):

  

Because this post is so picture-heavy, I didn't want to mess with the flow by adding my usual "item = where I got it" thing as captions. Instead, I'll list them here:

Multicoloured knit waistcoat/vest = vintage (originally from really old New Look- the logo's ancient!)
Long black shirt worn as dress/tunic = vintage
Black bodycon skirt (barely visible) = Internacionale
Gold bangle bracelet = Matalan (I think!)
Black and gold ring = Christmas present from my first ever secret Santa!
Red string bracelet = eBay
Earrings = they're all from an assortment of places, but I know that the black spikey hoop was from Claire's Accessories, and the green wrapped earring was part of a Christmas present from one of my best friends.
Belt = I genuinely have no idea where this is from- mum gave me it! Sorry!
Chelsea boots = eBay
Brown barbour-esque coat = vintage
On my lips (in a couple of the photographs) = my usual Collection 2000's "Ruby Red" (#3)

Now that this ridiculously lard post is done with, I'm going to finish my chicken soup and maybe catch up on Hollyoaks and Misfits and The Secret Circle! I have so much to get done in these two weeks that I don't think I'll get very much rest at all- because, obviously, catching up on your favourite shows is such a chore, ha!

Anyway, wrap up warm, stay safe and have a brilliant weekend, darlings. Au revoir~!

I went overboard.

Frozen but warm.

Hey, darlings! As usual, I'm sorry about the long delays between posts: I'm just either totally drained of energy, or have no time, or both, lately. This week isn't likely to get much better, unfortunately. I have so much to do! Christmas shopping, universitythings, college coursework deadlines- ugh. 

Anyway, I kind of liked my outfit today (although mainly I think I just love the shirt ridiculous amounts and wear it pretty much every other day) so I figured I might as well show you it, especially as it's been a while since my last post. Here you are!

Shirt = vintage (Marlboro Classics)
Leather jacket = Next
Chelsea boots = eBay
Black bodycon skirt = Internacionale
Scarf = from ages ago / from India

 

At college this morning, one of my friends had decided that I dress "indie", so he did yet another 'photoshoot' using me as his model, along with another one of our friends, and this is what I was wearing: I didn't realise I dressed "indie"!? What does that even really mean?
Anyway, we went through the photos afterwards, and some of them came out really great, so I might just post them on here once/if I get access to them, somehow! My blog might just see something other than shoddy webcam quality for once, ha!

Right, I'm off to bed now: night, my lovelies! Have a great week, and wrap up and keep warm!

Frozen but warm.

Another all-nighter.

I'm so sorry for doing these so late at night- I bet none of you even see this or any of my other outfits, because they're posted so late. Oopsie!

I'll get straight into it- this is what I wore today!

Floral waistcoat = vintage
Velvet skirt = Primark
Shirt = vintage with DIY studded collar

On my lips = Collection 2000's "Ruby Red"

Watch = Nike
Red string bracelet = eBay

Chelsea boots = eBay

Today I've just been sorting out overdue bits and pieces of coursework, as well as my CVQ work placement... which begins tomorrow (er, today) morning! I'm volunteering as part of one of my college courses at a secondary school, in the English department, as a teaching assistant. I'm so so nervous! That's probably why I'm not in bed right now, even though I'm so sleepy- my nervousness has got me all panicky and flustered. Boooo. 

Anyway, I'll probably let you know how it went with my next outfit post (which will hopefully be later today), so look out for that if you're interested. Wish me luck!

Hugs,

Anshika

Another all-nighter.

Denim, leather, and cable knit jumpers.

Hullo again, my lovelies. I've been ill since last weekend- I got whatever it was my stepdad had, literally on the day of my last post on here, and it's still here. I'm currently going through a ridiculously chesty cough, and the most unpleasant cold, and with the strikes on Wednesday, and tutor review day on Tuesday, luckily the only day of college I missed from being ill was Monday. I hope I'm feeling better soon, because I've spent the last ten days sniffling!
Anyway, enough about being ill: this is what I wore when I went back to college on Thursday!

Chunky knit jumper = Primark
Denim dress = Originally my mum's... I have no idea where from , though- sorry!
Leather jacket = Next
Bag = vintage

Watch = Nike
Red stringy cross charm bracelet = eBay
Hemp wristband = eBay

Chelsea boots = eBay

Necklace = eBay

On my nails = Collection 2000's "Fire Engine"

  

On my lips = L'Oreal Colour Riche in shade #231 ("Refined Rose")
This lipstick is my current obsession. It's the perfect texture- not sticky, but not ridiculously dry either- and the perfect finish too: not glossy, but not completely matte, which is a nice change for me with my ultra-matte red lip. I don't know how old this is, as it was a present from my mum, but if you can get your hands on it, I do recommend it!

I hope you've had a better week than I have; I received some bad news about my plans for my academic future, i.e. I most likely have to postpone going to university for yet another year (so, a 2014 entry, as opposed to 2013) and I'm working on figuring it all out right now. So yes, really, I do hope your week was better than mine... and that you've all been well!

Hugs,

Anshika
