work attire #4 : Leather Collar Worker

Finally settling into my new job, it is VERY different from my old one. For a start I can have an extra few hours lay in thanks to the 20 minute drive to work opposed to the 1.5 hour train joruney to work!

 

The office is much more casual than my previous job so my outfits are due to get more relaxed as I go on! In my first week I wore skirts, lots of black and heels. I'm currently sitting here in a big chunky knit jumper and jeans!

 

A HUGE thank you to you lovely 200 girls who now follow my blog. It only took me 2 years to reach this milestone but we did it! Thanks girls!

Anywho, thanks again for following/reading/commenting, XOXO AVS 

 

if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it...

With January is nearly at an end the sales are getting worse and worse, all the reject items that didn't sell at 25% off are now going at 75% off, and all the items that didn't even sell with 75% off are going for a few quid. But, a few quid can get you far if you're looking to invest in some eye candy for your fingers. 

Miss Selfridges 'Diva' jewellery section is my favourite place to grab a bling bargain, they have sales all year round on their stuff and this January was no exception! 

 

miss selfridge: was £10- i paid something ridiculous like £3/4 (so sorry i lost the receipt!) 

miss selfridge: was £12- i paid something like £5...

primark: £2- if you thought it was going to be discounted, its already cheap enough- you cheapskate :P

accessorize: was £12- i picked it up for a sweet £4, my friend wanted it for ages when it was full price and was gutted when i told her i only got it for four squid. mwahahaha. 

Handbags used to be my 'thing' if you get what I'm talking about; that type of item you have to buy in every different brand, colour, variety, even if its similar but a teeny bit different to one you already have... But now jewellery, mainly rings is what I'm swaying to, although I haven't quite perfected the art of wearing many different rings at a time haha. I tend to look like a child in their mums dressing up box with too many on, when I try it! What's your thing? necklaces, nail varnishes, shoes, etc?? 

Today I was sitting in my 'comms in practice' lecture and during the 5 minute break, the topic of blogs came up, and freakishly enough a fellow closet blogger popped out of the woodworks :) I'll link you to her once I've had a proper scout of her blog and know a little more about her!  

Hope you're all well, 

xoxo AVS

what i brought...

miss selfridge are having a sale on their diva jewellery... 

i picked up this gorgeous ring for only £4 as well as two gorgeous pairs of earrings all for £10.30! 

one pair is pretty simple but the other are amazing, i'm gonna wait to showcase them to you! they are very evening wear. 

i also brought some shoes today, but they are currently being stowed in my car boot as my mum will hit the roof if she finds out ive been spending my student loan on shoes!  

hope your day is full of happiness! (cheesy i know)

home at last!

Fresh from my trip to Scotland, I'm back! The day after I left for my trip I was gutted to realise that I hadn't scheduled all the posts only the first one. So big sorry's for that.  I've really missed blogging!

How was your week? I did keep up with some blogs from my iPhone, however last night I had tonnes and tonnes more to read which was very inspiring. 

This is what I wore on the first day: superdry cardigan, h&m top, diy shorts, h&m tights, ebay boots, F21 & Accessorize necklaces. Thankfully there was no need for a coat, but I did accessorize with some sexy superdry sunnies :) 

Scotland was surprisingly sunny, I had a lovely time seeing all my family and just spending quality time with my little sisters (I don't live with my dad sisters, I live with my mum. Well I actually live at uni now so even less time with them) We went to shopping in Glasgow City Centre which is architecturally beautiful, also visited the Kelvingrove art gallery and museum which was pretty interesting. 

This is just a quick pic of my arm candy: various bracelets, casio digital watch, (left hand) two finger heart ring from etsy, primark ring, (right hand) accessorize 'love' ring, three band ring (featured in this post here). 

Anywho, lots of posts to get sorted, I decided against posting the ones I'd already written for last week, maybe I'll modify them a little or something and post soon. 

xoxo avs
