Christmas goodbyes

Wow, how fast did Christmas go? I literally feel like it lasted for a few hours, suppose its only 361 days until next Christmas- yes I’m sad!

So anyway after the wonderful celebrations, alcohol guzzling and “Man v Food” consumption I’m ready to do some (dare I say) Uni work! But before I start posting some of my work up (well decide to do some to then actually have something to blog about) I thought I would do an outfit post… Boxing day I hit the sales with my brother (tradition me and him have going every year) and spend all our Christmas cash- Yes I had all my vouchers and money for less than 24 hours and it was all spent on the trip, what can I say a girl likes to spend! I’m a quick thinker when it comes to shopping, especially when there's sales. I literally spend 10 minutes in a shop and walk out with 5 different item- there is no faffing about when Miss Eastwood purchases- some may say problem, I say hobby.

Anyway I bought some beautiful shoes from Topshop in the sale reduced from £68-35- absolutely wonderful bargain! I decided to wear them when we had family over to show them off, I didn’t actually have this hat on but thought I would show it off because I think it’s cute and my mum bought me it in the sales.

Skirt- ASOS, Jacket- Oasis, Denim Shirt- Gone Retro, Hat- Marks and Spencer, Racoon fur collar- eBay

How cute are the shoes? I always think a bar across gives you that little extra support to help your feet last that little bit more on the dance floor.

Bow- hand made onto a pin, Necklace- H&M

Good Luck hitting the sales girls, beware of the pushers and ridiculous queues!

A bit more Vintage

So today I finally finished my essay, which consisted of me sitting in the library for 7 1/2 hours… seriously not cool, my brain feels like fried mush! I’m so pleased I have got it over and done with because I needed to get it handed in early. This is because I will be missing the last week of Uni- no I’m not going on holiday, I wish, I’m attending a trend forecasting course at Central St Martins. Will blog once I have completed it to show you what it consisted of. So anyway this week is so hectic along with having to hand all my work in early, pack my room up for Christmas and GET THIS… Redrock fashion asked my friend Rosie to be the photographer and direct a shoot for the brand that will be used for ASOS, I have been asked to model this and help style- pretty scary as my mug shot will be up on ASOS but still how exciting! So before this I thought I would do another Vintage inspired post as Redrock specialise in vintage, so it may exercise my brain a little for tomorrow (baring in mind I just did a 2500 word essay on the Ford Model T- yawwwwwn).

Vintage denim shirt from Gone Retro, Gold Belt from a vintage shop in London (favourite belt I own!), Shoes from Kurt Geiger (only the best) and Leather trousers from H&M.

Yes I bullied my friend Rosie to fish tail plait my hair… absolute Beaut!
I then added my most favourite piece of Vintage, my beaded jacket. Sadly I don't get to wear it much as the beads just fall off and its pretty painful when you stand on one bare footed- ouchy! But I thought I would whip it out for fun- I got this from a place called Trashy Flowers in Northampton, but sadly the vintage shop closed- luckily they are still online.
Wish me and Rosie Luck for Tomorrow
