My OOTD: Black Mesh And Velvet

Image
It's a pretty awesome day today again, but since it is windy I decided not to go for a dress or skirt. I wore my high waisted skinny jeans, with a transparent black lacey-velvety top, plus my trench on top of that. My leopard bag and leather flats were also part of today's outfit and I feel like every outfit I'm wearing has those two elements in it. Whoopsie. I look ridiculously small in this picture since Eryk took the photos from above, so sorry for that :D trench coat - Pimkie skinny jeans - Bershka black mesh and velvet top  - Dorothy Perkins leather flats - Lasocki leopard tote - FOSSIL And as you can tell, the top is really see through so I basically had the coat on all the time. This day was kind of strange because first Eryk had to leave early to sort out some documents and then I left too to buy a dictionary for my exam on Friday. Then we met up while I was waiting for my friend Mhoraig because we wanted to meet. We are so rubbish at me...

Packing For Travelling Part 2

Image
I've announced that I will show you a little bit of what I'm going to pack for my stay in Austria and Poland and of course, I won't be there for long so I decided to keep my luggage to the minimum because maybe I want to buy myself something and would prefer to keep some free space for new stuff. I've packed 2 festive dresses and my denim skirt. To pair with the skirt I picked one blouse and I will try and a crop top. To throw over the dresses I also put my Zara cardigan in. My jeans are still on the radiator but I am planning on wearing them and the chunky white jumper for the journey itself. I also packed two pairs of tights, some pairs of socks, underwear, all my make-up and jewellery. I still need to pack one pair of flats, my Fossil bag, the sweets for the kids and random bits and bobs that I will need to take but won't pack them yet. Sorry for the disgusting carpet. I wish we had laminate floors in our room. :( I really hope that I will ma...

My OOTD: Flowers and Glitter

Image
This morning was a sunny one again so I new I wouldn't need to wear too many layers again. I went for a pretty spring-y outfit once again and enjoyed the sunshine sitting on a bench at the College Campus before class, without freezing my bum off. My floral "silky" strappy vest is from Primark and I got it last summer. I am surprised by the quality of the fabric to be honest! I've worn and washed it pretty often so far and it stilll looks like new. I also wore this silver glittery skater skirt, which is made of a very thin and elastic fabric. It has a thin belt and it also is from Primark. I also have the same skirt but in a burgundy colour. Why? Because they were 1 Euro each, so... Then again, my black tights, which are also from Primark. ( So much Primark today!) The cardigan is again from Zara and I've had it for SO many years! I already had it when my brother was born... which was 6 years ago. I have to admit that it still looks like new, well, the c...

Neat Bun for Long Hair | Hair

Image
After College I decided to very quickly film a short tutorial about the hair style I wore some days ago, when the wind was just the worst I've ever experienced. I tried to show you how I did this look and even though I think it doesn't look too pretty, it is just a good way sometimes to keep your whole hair up, if it is very heavy and long - just as mine, and won't stay in a messy bun for longer than two minutes. Here's the tutorial I just filmed for you :) Go and check it out quickly! Hair Tutorial -Olivia ~20.01.2015~

My OOTD | Third of December

Image
It is already the third day of December, which is insane! I went to College today as usual and after that I also went for a moment to ASDA to get what we've run out of and I came home quite hungry and exhausted. While eating I was talking to my mum on Skype and now I'll just quickly show you today's outfit, which in my opinion is quite elegant and a bit festive. I wore everything in black, what I sometimes somehow enjoy doing. My transparent top with velvet flowers is from Dorothy Perkin s - I finally showed it in an outfit post! I really like it and I pair it with a nude cami top from Matalan , to cover up what should stay covered. I also wore my black skater skirt from H&M that I already bought ages ago, but still really like. And as it is not too warm, I also had some thick tights from Primark underneath. Plus, my fluffy cardigan from H&M, my fake fur as well from H&M and my Clarks boots. And as I went to college I also had my GABS bag with me. The ...

My OOTD | First of December

Image
I can't believe that December is already here and that 2014 will end in some days. It is horrible how quickly time flies and that nothing can slow it down. Also, December means that there are not many sleeps left until Christmas day. In Vienna, my mum already lit the first candle of her advent wreath yesterday, like she does every year. And somehow I miss it, seeing the candles burning every day for nearly a month. It always showed me that Christmas is really soon and so on. And also the weather reminds people of it. It gets really cold, there is usually some snow falling before Christmas. Here it is quite different. It is warm, I have no advent wreath, but at least an advent calendar! And as it was so warm today, I thought I'd show you what I wore on this first day of December 2014. I wore my polka dot New Look shirt underneath my white crochet H&M jumper. I liked the light blue dots peaking out at the collar and underneath the jumper edge. I also wore my so much lo...

Monthly Random Favourites | November

Image
Today you are going to see all the other things I've loved throughout November- here they are! First we have the apple crumble pie I've already baked twice. It is amazing, quite easy and quick in preparation and it will be gone very quickly once it's made! I posted the recipe to it here . I got myself a beautiful dress from Primark some time ago. And you won't believe how much I paid for it! It was totally reduced to 3£ only!!!! The colours are so bright, the dress itself is very loose, it has sleeves that go up to your elbows and on the back you tie a bow and off you go! To see it fully, click here . I am totally in love with it and I hope that it will stay so pretty for some time at least! I also included our brand new WoodWick candle that arrived this week. I ordered it off Amazon and it is just a dream! Surely my favourite candle ever! I also filmed it and you can see it here , and I also wrote about it here . I totally recommend it to everyone! ...

Light Blue Triangles

Image
Yesterday I told you that I went to a shopping centre and bought myself something. I also said that I'd show you once I've worn it. So, today I couldn't resist and paired my new necklace with small baby blue triangles, with my back cut-out dress from River Island. I am so happy with this small necklace, that it is already a bit weird. I got it from Dorothy Perkins and usually I wouldn't really buy anything there, but yesterday I thought that they had actually some nice things to have a look at, and so I spotted this cute necklace. Some time ago I was even writing about the lack of statement jewellery in my collection and so I try to get a new piece now from time to time. I wanted a necklace like this one for a longer time now, but I was never really sure whether I will be wearing it and so on. But, I really have many blue/ navy pieces of clothes. And I seriously don't know why, but especially navy blue dresses attract my attention in shops a lot! So, for this reas...

My OOTD: College and Shopping Day

Image
Today I woke up quite late, as the weather was just horrible and made me feel like I don't even need to get out of bed at all this morning. But when I saw the terrible mess in our room I decided that there was definitely a reason to get up, because the mess made me feel even worse. So, first of all I tidied up the room, washed the dishes, had breakfast, got ready and left for College. After College I decided that sitting home alone is not so great and went for a walk to the Gyle Shopping Centre which is quite near the College. I wanted to get some more Christmas gifts, but didn't find what I was planning to buy, so I only bought two three things for myself, and two small things for our room, to make it a bit nicer again. I also did some grocery shopping, to buy the things we already ran out of and then I went back home. So this is the outfit I wore today, which was really comfy and together with my furry coat and my basic black Vans, it was perfect for today's weather. I...

Confused And Traumatised

Image
Today Eryk went to college in the morning and I decided that I'd like to stay in bed for one more hour. It was so sunny that I opened the window to let the warm air in. But the air was freezing and I was shocked and knew that I'd be wearing a cardigan and my jeans jacket to college. I eventually got up and had some breakfast, cleaned the cage, did my make up and checked my bus route before leaving. At 12 Eryk wrote me that he's in his way home and I had to left so we didn't see each other for half of the day. Well, so I hurried to the bus stop because I really didn't want to miss the bus as I knew that I'd need to go on another bus after 15 minutes and didn't want to waste any time, didn't want to be late. Once I got off the first bus I was waiting for the second one and it said that this bus will be here in 20 minutes. This shocked me a lot because I'd probably be late then. However, there was a different bus that just arrived and I asked the bus d...
