knock off nigel

Ladies, forget the 'Lita's'. 

It's all about the Carvela @ Kurt Geiger 'Shout' boots. 

At £59 a pop, they are half the price, and for that can grab them in tan or black. 

I purchased both this morning. These shoes are half the heel size, making them perfect for long days out and about. I plan on wearing the black ones with skinnies, oversized logo tees & a leather jacket. The tan ones will be worn with summery floral dresses and denim jackets.  

Click the boot to buy! 

I'm finishing off my last uni assignments then I can focus on the big EL-LAY trip next week! 

I'm busy buying things for my trip including, a leopard print neck pillow for my aeroplane journey, summery dresses, and gorgeous bikini, and some cute flip flops. Post to follow! 

Any one seen any good sized bags suited for the aeroplane? It's got to be big enough to fit the usual; 5 mags, purse & travel documents, phone, ipod, etc etc... Muchos love. XOXO AVS

Royal Wedding.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge in Alexander McQueen, by Sarah Burton. Simply Stunning. 

 Kate entering Westminster Abbey, she later left as the Duchess of Cambridge and the Wife of the future King of England. 

Catherine is so beautiful, she didn't disappoint. So stunning, so understated, so classy. I look forward to watching her style journey as a Duchess to future Queen. 

Kate's sister, Pippa, also looked absolutely stunning, however she didn't quite manage to upstage the bride (which was obviously never an option). Pippa was also wearing Alexander McQueen (Pre-fall 2009). 

More images to come later (i.e images of my style Queen Victoria Beckham) 

Hope you're enjoying your day whatever you're doing. XOXO AVS

fruit twist.

Yo, I've just got home from a few days in Southampton, it was lovely spending the majority of my time with my loved ones (only a little was spent doing uni work-oops!).

I went out last night to a club, I can't bring myself to type the name of the club but let me put it this way, it's very well known, a large chain and completely commercial. 

This is what I wore... (added bonus, you get to see what Beth wore aswell)

I wore: Primark sheer shirt, Primark belt, Topshop shorts, New Look platform wedges, Dorothy Perkins multi-chain necklace. Beth wore: New look dress, Primark bag & belt. 

I'm completely shattered and its only 9pm, what a grandma! I have a LOT of uni work to do these next few days, however I will no doubt spend the whole of tomorrow watching the Royal Wedding Festivities (My mum is even making bunting as we speak). 

Will you be watching? No offence if you are one of these people, but the guys and girls out there saying that they 'don't care whatsoever about the wedding' are totally mean! This country is just filled with doom & gloom day in day out, and let's face it bloody Eastenders doesn't help (lol- I just mentioned eastenders on my blog, saddo) The Royal Family is a British institution, they are the epitome of everything classy about this country, and for you's moaning about 'The Tax Payers money being used for security', have you sat and thought about how much tourism the Royal Family attract to England every year? (Wow, rant over, I do apologise!)

The title of the post has no relation to anything whatsoever apart from the fact that I am drinking a bottle of Fanta as I type. Yum. 

Anyway to see you out, here is a little photo of me last night. Proof that I am the crazy loon you all think I am. Alcohol is bad kids, drink responsibly. XOXO AVS

are you on twitter? if so, tweet me :) 

sealed the deal!

If you've read this blog before then you will probably guess what this post is about. 

Then again if you have two brain cells, you'll also probably be able to guess what it's about.

I'm going to Los Angeles this summer to do work experience with a Publicist Agency that specialises in British Talent in America. The previous plan was to go to LA in July- that plan has now changed. 

I'm going in 2 weeks! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Booked the flight this morning, and leave two weeks tomorrow! W.O.W oh so excited! I have lots and lots of things suddenly added to my wish/shopping/reality list! I'm probably going to post some form of an outfit tomorrow, so please bear/bare with me in the meantime! Love you all lots! XOXO AVS

from rags to riches

I'm in Southampton this week and left my camera at my friends house back at home, so unfortunately no outfit posts or anything. If you're a student, then you'll know that student loans come in next week (or if you're REALLY lucky, this week). I've been broke for like the last 3 months, yes the last loan was only 4 months ago, what can I say I'm not very well organised with money! I've been thinking about all the things I need to do with my loan: summer rent for my new house, spending money for LA, work clothes for LA, etc etc so I *really* want to be well organised with my money this term. So, I've made a list. My list is of the things I've wanted for a while and/or basics. Let me explain...

Topshop shorts- You may have seen in this post that I love these shorts, well that fire is still burning bright. I cannot wait to own a pair of these beauts, they will be worn everywhere all summer.

Benefit & Mac Make up- I'm not a big make-up freak, mainly because I don't even know how to apply make up very well. So whilst I have money I want to invest in some decent bits, I think I'm gonna go for a Mac make up sesh/mini makeover (I went to a Benefit one the other day hence why these items are on my wishlist) 

F21 Floral romper- Playsuits are definitely the way forward this summer, simple and easy to accessorise, I'll be teaming mine with a light cardi or sleeveless denim jacket, some gladiator sandals and some bangles. 

Leopard Vans- I'm not sure if I quite want the leopard print ones (they're a tad garish, but I'm a sucker for anything leopard!) But I do want some vans this summer to give my look a casual edge.

Katy Perry OPI- no need to explain, this varnish is just gorgeous!

ASOS Satchel- This summer it's all about having a pop of colour and this satchel will make and outfit complete. 

If you're a student what treats are you going to buy yourself (if any, after rent, bills, etc) with your student loan? And if you're not a student, what are you going to treat yourself with from your next pay cheque? XOXO AVS

are you on twitter? yes? tweet me! :)

beach attire

I really hate posting terrible quality photos on here, but then when I went to write a image-less post I thought how craptastic it would be, no image to take your mind off of my terrible writing style... 

This is the outfit that I wore to the beach yesterday, it was oh so hot by the coast, I have a lovely glow to my skin now :) oh I do love getting a nice free tan. 

My skirt and vest are both from Primark (both like 5 years old!), and the belt is from Topshop, I wore a pair of tan gladiators with this outfit (if you were wondering...) 

Anywho today I am going to see my girlywirl, Sinitta, going to pop to town and borrow some clothes from her for my trip down to southampton. 

Yesterday I started reading the 1st of the 3 Lauren Conrad 'novels', LA Candy. At first I wasn't to impressed but as the pages went on I started to get a teeny bit hooked (Sinitta read the first 2 in a week-dedication!) The characters are so cliche, but it's really a dream-come-true kinda book.

Its made me think about my impending trip to LA as well, and the clothes I'm going to wear and what I'm going to do in my time off out there. I'm thinking of turning my current tumblr into all things LA, so look out for that. 

Also, any health conscious girls out there, what TASTY (tasty being the operative), filling, low-calorie snacks can I munch on? I'm debating whether to do no carb or low calorie? I want to tone up so have been doing sit ups and a bit of running, but my diet is appauling... any tips?  XOXO AVS
