WHITE LEATHER


White Leather Crop Top - Topshop
Jeans - BDG
Leather cuffs - eBay
Boots - Jeffrey Campbell

Waaah I kind of hate these jeans on my figure, I feel like cos my hips are so wide they don't flatter me at all?!?! This is why I stick to high waisted things!

Anyway I've been wanting a leather top for a while so obviously I was so super happy to find this white one in Topshop! It's gorgeous and feels so soft, but I wish they had it in a smaller size as it feels a little too baggy :( Still so lovely though, I think I'll wear it a lot!

Just two weeks until I finish uni! I'm so excited to finally be freeeeeeee! Though I need a job or to sell a lot of things, I think tomorrow I'm gonna gather some things to put up on here to sell :)

KNUCKLEDUSTER



Crop Vest - Topshop
Belt - ASOS
Trousers - Topshop via car booty
Hologram shoes - Office
Socks - Topshop
Necklace - Vivienne Westwood
Bracelet - Topshop
Even though the weather is absolute bollocks at the moment I've decided to be the less black-clad person in London today. I'm sick of wearing black all the time! But this dreary weather just makes me want to dress like a tramp (I call it "grunge").

I love these trousers but they're far too big for me, I've got a kilt pin in the back to hold them a bit tighter plus a safety pin in the front haha! I got lots of people staring at my shoes today too...

I've got a trip to see the Hermes exhibition at Saatchi gallery tomorrow! I love Kings Road, I was only there on Saturday strangely enough, then I got an email from my tutor today to say we were going there! Me and my mum spent the day there after eating the biggest and yummiest muffins at Cake Boy in Battersea - we actually were supposed to have a reservation there for champagne and cakes but my silly mum booked it for the wrong day!! So that's where I'll be on Saturday ;) But anyway we found some really awesome shops, there was one boutique that had a latex dress in the window which I fell in love with! I love latex it's so cool, I want to try and use it myself. We also went to a gorgeous lingerie boutique but the name of it escaped me, all my favourite brands were stocked though and the actual shop inside was stunning! The changing rooms were huge. I might visit there tomorrow and buy myself a treat if there's time ;) 

Oh and another thing!! On the 16th it was my Blogiversary, woo!! I really wanted to do a giveaway but I have NO IDEA what to give away, so please please please leave a comment of something you like to see in a giveaway, whether it be an item of clothing, vouchers for a shop, beauty products, something made by myself (maybe even a drawing), or a combination of all! Maybe just a box of lovely lil treats :)

VON FOLLIES


Overwire Bra - Dita Von Teese Von Follies
High Waisted Knickers - Kiss Me Deadly

Finally getting round to posting some more lingerie!! I've had both of these items for a while but I've never posted them (well I've worn the knickers for a shoot before but never mind!). The Von Follies collection by Dita was a total hit with me, I just had to own an overwire bra and I'm so glad that some of my favourite lingerie brands like Kiss Me Deadly and Nearer the Moon are starting to make overwire bras now! They're so gorgeous. Unfortunately I couldn't get the knickers in my size but I think any black knicker matches this bra really well. It's a bit odd for size however, I feel like the overwire gives too much of a gap above my boobs and although it comes with detachable straps they constantly fall off and I feel like I'm always hitching it up. This might be because I needed a smaller size however.

These knickers are serious life-savers. If I feel like I've overindulged a bit there they are holding my tummy in perfectly! Kiss Me Deadly is renowned for it's shapewear, and you can see why! I love how the thighs are cut quite high making my legs appear longer - not something you get often being as short as me! They also make my bum look awesome.

So a very retro lingerie post today! And sorry for the decapitated head, I was not feeling my face that day!

I'm trying to avoid spending at all costs lately so I think a lot of my posts won't include much new stuff for a while :( At least until I finish uni anyway, I'm going to start looking for summer jobs soon so fingers crossed it all works out so I can treat myself!

LONG HAIR DON'T CARE



Bodysuit/Swimsuit - Beyond Retro
Jeans - Topshop
Belt - Charity Shop
Shoes - ASOS
Yaaaay I finally bought new hair extensions! I've also got a bit of lilac in my hair which has come out  a bit weird but never mind...

I love this vintage swimsuit, I've always been a sucker for gingham so when I saw it I just had to buy it!  It has built in cups too and a cute tie-up detail at the front. The legs come up soooo high! Makes me feel very 80s.

SUMMER LINGERIE WISHLIST

It has been so long since I've posted anything about lingerie or even bought myself any! I'm trying to avoid spending at all costs recently as it's dawned on me that I really need a summer job so before that happens I won't be splurging too much! Though when I finally finish uni for the year I will be very tempted to treat myself to any of these babies...
lingerie wishlist


(L-R)


1. Bordelle Lady Citron Plunge Bra (£112) & Brief (£57)
A lingerie wishlist would not be complete without the appearance of at least one Bordelle piece! Yellow is not something I would usually go for right away but I can't resist Bordelle's bondage styling taking a more feminine approach!

2. Hopeless Red Coral Lace 'Amanda' Cropped Halter Top (£44)
I love this colour so much! Hopeless Lingerie is an incredible independent lingerie designer, I love everything from her shop! I don't think I could keep this as underwear though, too gorgeous!

3. Fifi Chachnil Bonjour Paris Poupee Pink Bra (£100) & Knicker (£60) 
I'm so in love with this Parisian brand. I really want to go to Paris and visit their boutique, their lingerie is soooo beautiful! This lilac colour is stunning.

4. Topshop Oriental Flower Strappy Bralet and Knickers (£36)
Yaaay something I can afford! You really need to look at this pattern up close because it's gorgeous, definitely have to grab this before it's gone.

Apologies for the lack of posts this week, hoping to have an outfit post up later this evening after doing some street style for uni today up in Tottenham Court, say hi if you're about ;)!

SUITED + BOOTED



Blazer - Vintage via Beyond Retro
Trousers - Topshop
Bodysuit - American Apparel
Boots - Aggy Deyn for Dr Martens
Okay I know I've worn these trousers before for an OOTD but I found a matching blazer woohoo! There was a matching one when I bought the trousers but it was a lot of money so I just waited to find a cheaper one, and here it is in the same tartan :) 

I like the order of these pictures because it looks like I'm stripping haha! I think I will do that for my next outfit post if I feel like sharing some nice underwear and making it merge from an outfit post to a lingerie post! Sweet idea Toots.

I'm so so very busy at the moment with uni, only about a month to go now til summer! I've got a shoot on Monday for our magazine which I'm super excited for but it's going to be a long day of shooting, hopefully the pictures turn out amazing! Our model for the day is such a cutie aaaaah. Check out some of my uni work and other interesting fashion articles and thaaangs on my other blog :)

STREET ART


Faux Fur Coat - Topshop
White Crop - Topshop
Trousers - Motel
Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell
These are some snaps my lovely boyfriend took of me today on our visit to Brick Lane! I love Brick Lane, I intended to go to the Coffee Festival as they had a Twin Peaks exhibition on (That is a DAMN FINE cup of coffee!) but I think you had to pay to get in/I was having too much fun shopping and taking street style photos which can be found on my other blog :)

My hair is looking pretty wild in these, I never brush it because my extensions are in such horrid condition at the moment, new ones are on their way to me now yay yay yay! I bought some cute things today too, like this PVC crop Karen Millen top which looks amazing and makes me feel like a Bond girl/sex shop cashier haha, and a tartan blazer which matches the tartan of my Topshop trousers, and a cute little vintage gingham swimsuit!!

Hi lovely people!
So it's been a really hectic couple of weeks I've not really had the opportunity to do much posting, but head your cute butts over to beckyisstyling.blogspot.co.uk where I update a lot more frequently at the moment as it's for uni work which is taking over my life right now! I promise it's not boring and I write a lot of opinion pieces there, and a lot of my fashion work goes up so it's all fashion related ;) expect some street style soon too.

MY HUMBLE ABODE

So I spent half of the day tidying my little flat and it was looking really cute, so I took some photos as I love looking at other peoples spaces! I think rented flats are really difficult to really inject some personality into but I think so far so good :)

All my lil polaroids including Barbie ones from when I was little :)

Morrissey <3

Cute lil Lolita poster

Some more cute photos I have on my wall

Skull money bank and a little scorpion in perspex haha, and a little vase I bought from ebay

CAR BOOT YAY


Dress - Topshop (sale)
Stockings - H&M
Boots - Dr Martens
Belt - ASOS
Sooo today I went to the first car boot that I've been to in AGES! I went to Battersea Car Boot with my mum and it was a really good decision, it's meant to be one of the best in London and I definitely wasn't disappointed. I bought a fair few things which I made a video about below!! I guess the only thing that sucked about it was that later on some really pretentious people came along and were barging through all the clothes and stuff with no consideration and being generally show-offy and annoying blah!! I'd definitely go again soon, especially as the weather gets warmer it will be wonderful :)

So today I wore this new dress that I bought for just £20 yesterday! I would never normally go for a dress this length as I'm a bit too short to carry it off but I was pleasantly surprised. I also have to apologise for the disembodied picture but I looked really gross in it so I thought it was best for everyone if I didn't make it public ;)

Anyway here's the video of my buys of the day!
