Shopaholic.

I've ordered these babies here and here from New Look with gift cards I got for my birthday a couple weeks ago- so excited for them to turn up.

Also ordered this darling of a cropped vest.  I'm not usually massively into crop tops as a general rule because I don't think they're very flattering on my body, but this one's so dainty and feminine that I couldn't resist- and for six pounds, it isn't a bad deal at all. I'm a sucker for a bargain!
I'm currently on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted black skinny jeans, and so I think this little vest will go perfectly with those in the summer, with my trusty leather jacket and stacks of silver jewellery thrown on. I'm also looking for the perfect pair of suede(tte) wedge sandals that aren't too high up so I can't walk comfortably in them on a day to day basis, and when I find them, I think they'll look perfect with this outfit. If you know of any that fit this description, please link me to wherever I can find them!

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much at all recently- I'm currently on half term, and true to habit I'm staying cooped up at home in pyjamas, mostly. How very fashion-forward, I know.
I'm possibly popping out tomorrow into town, though, to see a friend, so you might see an outfit post then! I need to get some bits from Boots and also visit H&M to use a gift card I got for my birthday- how inconvenient that H&M doesn't allow you to shop online with your gift card! New Look does, and they've got it absolutely right for lazy bums like me.

Anyway, I'm off now to peruse some more fashion blogs- link me to your favourites in the comments if you'd like. Or be cheeky and link me to yours too! I'd love to give it a read.

Goodnight, and see you all soon, lovelies!

Birthday.

Aloha, babies! I'm finally eighteen today- and to be completely honest with you, I don't feel much different at all. It feels just like any other day. I'm going out tonight, though, to dinner with my family and a couple of friends, so perhaps I'll feel ~special~ then! Especially when I order my first ever legal drink at the bar! It's probably a little pathetic that I'm nervous about this.

Anyway, because it's been so cold recently- and only getting so much colder here in the UK, with snow expected tonight where I live (trust this to happen on my birthday- typical!)- I've been unable to take serious outfit photographs without half freezing to death. But these are snippets of two outfits I wore this past week- I'm in all sorts of love with the reverse-back-necklace thing. It makes everything look so dainty and delicate. Just so much love for it all.

Kaftan tunic/dress = vintage
Necklace = DIY from earrings from New Look
Watch = Chopard

Blazer = vintage
Shirt = from mum!
Skirt = Internacionale
Tights = Tesco
Watch = Chopard

I'll probably take some photographs tonight at dinner, so you can maybe expect a few of those, depending on how they turn out.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend, darlings.

Until next time,

Anshika

Birthday.

Light's out.

I get home pretty late from college most days of the week, and so by that time, the light is just all gone. It's usually pitch dark when I get in- and that makes for a really difficult picture-taking situation, as I'm sure some of you will empathise with. Therefore, I've simply got to apologise for the quality of these photographs, and the fact that I've had to resort to taking them in my room again. They're a lot better than eyes-half-closed, everything-bleached-out photographs outside in the dark with flash on, though.

Let's get to it.

Jumper-dress = Next
Blazer, coat = vintage
Skirt = Internacionale
Tights = Tesco
Necklace = Accessorize
Shirt (barely visible) = H&M
Rings = vintage, eBay, gifted, etc
Red string cross bracelet = eBay
Ignore the lack of shoes in this post- I was only wearing black ballet flats with this outfit.

I know it's been a while since my last post, but like I said, the light's been awful. And not to mention, I've been ill since Wednesday evening! Lots of coursework deadlines around right now, too. Can't wait till February half term, if I'm honest. But more than that, I can't wait for my birthday in eleven days- I'm turning eighteen!

Light's out.

First bit of sun.

Denim jacket, shoes = vintage
Knee high socks = ASOS
Shirt = gifted
Evil eye necklace + ring = eBay
Ring = vintage
Bracelet = eBay
Tights = Tesco
Watch = Nike
Shoes = vintage

First bit of sun.

Early finishes.

Had an early finish yesterday, so I actually managed to get home and take these before the light disappeared. Here's hoping you like them... although anything's an improvement over grainy webcam photos.

My stepdad was gooning around whilst I tried to take these photographs... I was unimpressed.

Coat = vintage
Skirt = some boutique somewhere
Chelsea boots = eBay
Watch = Chopard
Necklace, ring = eBay
Shirt (barely visible) = vintage
On my lips = Collection 2000's "Ruby Red"

Also, as you can see, I changed up my hair a little bit- new fringe! What do you think?

Early finishes.

Some kind of goth-fest.

Posting this from college: aloha, babies. I'm in love with this shirt. Help.

I re-ombre'd my hair. I'm still deciding whether or not I like it.

Shirt = vintage
Chelsea boots = eBay
Tights = Tesco
Watch = Chopard
Ring = Matalan
On my lips = some blue lipstick off eBay

Some kind of goth-fest.

Black and burgundy and spotty all over.

I'll just launch straight into it:

Coat, shirt = vintage
Watch = Chopard
Skirt = Internacionale
Knee-high socks (rolled down) = Asos
Chelsea boots = eBay
Necklace = Accessorize
Tights = Matalan
Cardigan, ring = a long time ago from India

'Til next time!
