Be prepared for the rain!

-
Hello guys! I am back! My hand in was out of the way today and we have finally created our own magazine for submission *cheers*. It has literally been the longest and most tiring three weeks of uni so far! I've also drank more coffee than Starbucks can physically produce!

I have noticed however that this dark an dreary weather brings people down. We wake up and go to work/uni when it's dark and come home when it's dark....it's all a bit depressing! The rain lately has also been incredible, I never actually thought it could rain as much as it had been!

Now I don't know about you but I am NEVER prepared for the rain! I know it will rain if I wear dolly shoes, if I wear my fur coat and if I have my Michael Kors bag, just because it would. I never have my umbrella and I can guarantee that I turn up at uni looking like a drowned rat.

So I have made a little collection of things you need to have to be prepared for this wet, wet weather.

Accessorize is one of my favorite places for cute accessories, I use to work in Accessorize and really felt the blow when  I left and didn't have my discount any more! But if the quirkier things catch your eye then Accessorize is the place for you!

This cute little umbrella is a must have!
They do loads of different prints and colours too!

Now without sounding weird, I do LOVE pom poms. If I see anything with them on it has to be mine. I love the geeky kind of look they give to clothes and accessories. These wellies are adorable. Wellies are amazing because nobody likes soggy shoes. Little tip though, remember to take your shoes with you, you don't want to be running around the office in your suit and wellies. (Also in black and Burgundy)

Remember that if it's raining, what ever is in your bag will get a little bit wet, even if you are under your umbrella. So make sure you take care of all of your pretty I-pads and kindles by buying one of these cases. These are pretty much a cheaper copy of the new Louboutin cases too (SCORE!)

Now you might think this one is a bit strange because you obviously wouldn't wear a onesie out. BUT think about when it's dark, you're cold and wet and you just want to get home and snuggle up in your onesie....am I right or am I right? Plus this is SO cute!

Earmuffs are a god send in this weather. Nothing worse than fighting with your umbrella in the wind, hair going in your eyes and make running down your face. So my trick is, whack on a pair of earmuffs and DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take them off at any point. As long as they're comfortable and look cute your hair can be as messy as it wants to be, safely hidden under you head band. 

So ladies if you follow these little pointers you should remain in one dry piece if you get caught in this flipping rain! Worst comes to worst, stick your head under the hand dryer in the toilets and pray for the best!

xoxo

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
