H A P P Y . V A L E N T I N E S . D A Y . 

to all of you beautiful girlies reading this! I hope today you are lavished with love- whether that be from a boyfriend or girlfriend, mum or dad, friend or cat! 

If you've read the blog before you'll know that I had a weave put in last month, it was lovely, and I loved having lengthen locks, but after 6 weeks of being treated badly yesterday was the day to say adios! Just before I (when I say 'I', I mean my mum- thanks mum!) took it out, I was in Superdrug and on impulse I brought an XXL Live hair colur (Cyber Purple)... Took the extensions out and whacked in the colour- here's the result: 

Quite dark, washed me out a little, but you know its better than the boring brown colour it was before. In case your wondering no I am not pregnant and piling on the pounds I am just in a very clingy dress (New Look Leopard peter pan collar- I got it for something like £3!!! [Student discount+money of this style dress or something when brought with a pair of shoes!])

My weekend at home was absolutely lovely, I saw went out for drinks on Saturday night (yum yum Malibu+Pineapple) and saw 'Just go with it' with Jennifer Aniston  & Adam Sandler- OMG hilarious. You should definitely go see it :D  

Have a lovely day/night whatever you do! I have a telephone meeting with my future work experience boss (she rescheduled the meeting from last week- due to 'being very busy with Grammy events'- o.m.g), take care beautifuls. XOXO AVS

pri's own

I'm pretty sure I saw Topshop's version of this jumper floating around in OOTD posts.... Well I brought the gorgeous stripe jumper from Primark last week for a mere £11 probably around a 1/4 of what Topshop would charge you for!

This week was quite uneventful! I went to Danny Byrd @ Audio Southampton on wednesday... It was a effing amaaaaaziiiiing night, even though I went home quite early! Took me the whole of thursday to recover- you can tell you're getting older when it takes a whole day to recover from a night out!

I'm heading home this weekend (FINALLY), to see my muma & Max Power wooo!! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, see you on sunday lovelies! XOXO AVS

package+excitement

Nothing at all important to report to you today, I'm not wildly wishing, more focussed on things I can achieve right now like good grades at uni, working hard to save up money to make my trip to LA the best it can be, things like that you know... Yeah it's good to dream but sometimes it's also good to focus on what you can 'do' in life. 

SO back to the package... Can you guess what it is? It features two of the most gorgeous men, an epic love battle as well as other 'battles'.... 

... You got it! 

I thought this would be popping up in my christmas presents but my mum said she was going to buy them for me as a set (completely unaware that I so far already own Twilight + New moon- silly mummy ha). Going to watch it tonight! Sorry for the late post my papa came down to see me and we went to Bella Italia for a nice dinner (50% off with a student card- get in!)

Have a great evening girlies. XOXO AVS

cleverLEATHER.

I can't quite pinpoint the day where I thought "hmm, yeah it's actually ok to wear leather shorts"... 

When you say 'leather shorts' now, you think of gorgeous girls like Andy T wearing them in all sorts of gorgeous colours with uh-maaazing killer heels, but if you said the same phrase like last year, I would of thought of some grimy american biker dude driving through the desert...? Hmmm how quickly fashion changes ey... 

The leather(look) shorts are back in, and they are kicking butt in the style stakes my friends! Above is a selection of my favourite leather shorts looks (weather varied as well, I tend to notice some of the best dressed girls on lookbook are all in extremely sunny countries!) + Below are a selection of links for you to clickity click on to, to buy yourself a pair of these beauties! I got mine yesterday (big thanks to primarni for a £10 bargain!)  

Leather shorts one click away: ASOS, New Look, River Island, Topshop, & Rokit   

N.B. all of these shorts a faux leather- for you animal lovers out there ;) 

Girls jump onto the fashion bandwagon if you haven't already! Fellow joyriders of the trend include Ray (who adores her Lederhosen's!!!! haha) & Lily (seen in the second picture!).

I hope you liked this second instalment of my little trends-i'm-digging-at-the-mo feature! Have a very lovely tuesday! XOXO AVS

hearts in a box.

this outfit and photo is very bad. the top makes me look hideously boxy+flat, i just wore it with a headscarf from primark (see primark 'haul' post next week) leather jacket, scarf, black skinnies + handbag. my reasoning for posting such a bad outfit is i honestly haven't much else to say right now. (btw, please excuse my slippers in the picture haha)

my papa was working near my uni today so he took me out for a burger+beer, which was nice. tried to take some pics of stuff i'm going to sell on ebay but the lighting was absolutely terrible. i'm going to buy a tripod thingy thing this week so hopefully we'll be up and running with some regular outfit posts soon. 

hope you're having a fabulous weekend. xoxo AVS

This week I've had a little fun with Wildest Wednesday Wishes, I saw these gorgeous Louboutin's whilsts browing Net-a-porter a while ago. Loub's are on my 'one-day-save-up-for-it' list, along with the Chanel Quilted handbag I always go on about... Anyway, I decided to make a nice little outfit to go with the gorgeous shoes (I get that the clutch bag is actually more expensive, but ya'know I kinda just liked the colour). What would you wear these beauties with? 

Christian Louboutin- Brandaplato 140 leather and mesh sandals- £725

 

Alice by Temperley- Renee open-back modal dress- £245 

Bottega Veneta- Know Interecciato Satin Clutch- £890

So this is my interpretation of the shoes into an outfit- do you like? I love the shoes with the detailed design, the mesh area kinda feels flirty yet covered up, which I feels perfectly compliments this Temperley dress- sophisticated whilst oozing sex appeal (I've heard that backs are the new boobs!) Finished off with this gorgeous little clutch, to fit in your lippy + $$ (probably not your iphone- so not practical!)

Any designer must-haves you want this week?!
