Remember that midi skirt I wore for my wardrobe wakeup project? Tonight I shall reveal how to turn a granny skirt into a cute dress in one move! Yep, just pull it up, pop a belt on and you have a cute a-line strapless dress! Ta-da!!! A short...

Friday night's outfit

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hey!I am seriously frazzled after my afternoon at work! It was so busy, I feel like a zombie now. I staggered home, chucked a pizza in the oven and am now in a carb-coma, watching Big Brother! I wanted to post my outfit from last night so I haven't been a completely useless blimp tonight! I had a really nice night. I went out for a couple of drinks with my work...

A quick video blog!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hey y'all! I broke my camera so decided to do a quick video blog, which turned into a long-winded and random rant, so I have edited most of the crap out very quickly (am on the way out) and here it is. The editing looks like it was quite literally done by a monkey, please forgive me! Oh, and sorry about my language. Can't help it![Love this freezeframe!! Oh haiiii!]Sorry I say 'so anyway' a lot! And also, my...

Tuesday Tip: How to prevent GFS (Gappy Fringe Syndrome)!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();The gappy fringe... Destroyer of otherwise nice Facebook photos and the bane of Emo's lives the world over. It's a condition that blighted my confidence for much of my adolescence. Over the years, I've grown to accept it as a fact of life, up there with periods and exercise aversion. Until now.A recent procrastination session led me to googling 'how to prevent a gappy fringe', and I found the answer I'd been...

Wardrobe wake up: double bill finale! Day 7 & 8!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Ahoy there! Thanks for all of your great comments on the wardrobe wakeup posts. Even though I haven't replied personally to all of your comments just yet (it takes me ages because I get sooo distracted reading your various blogs!) I just want you to know I love your feedback! Glad some of you have been inspired to try some new things too! Yesterday I was inspired...

Wardrobe wake up: Day 6!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Morning all! How's your weekend going? I had my friend Katie over, who I haven't seen in 8 months, so that was lovely. We did some shopping (well, I played personal shopper to Katie as I had no pennies of my own!) and had a gorgeous lunch at Boho café in town. Then Katie went home and Alex and I watched X Factor... Erm, LET DOWN! I couldn't get over the autotune...

Wardrobe wake up: Day 5!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Today's WWU was a bit of a fail on two counts. Firstly, I had a mega lie-in and had hardly any time to think about my outfit before going out with my friend Jen. Secondly, after deciding on the below outfit, I opened the curtains and realised that summer had decided to change the habit of a lifetime and actually occur. So I ended up wearing my maxi with sandals...

Wardrobe wake up: Day 4!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Bonjour amigos! For today's look I busted out my brand spanking new aviator jacket from Topshop! I got it with my quarterly uniform discount (we get 60% of a few items), and had a few old vouchers to use up, so it only cost about £13 in the end! An epic win, I'm sure you'll agree. I was going for a grungey Alice Dellal look:(pics from ASOS and TFS)I layered...

Wardrobe wake up: Day 3!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Did you hear the goss yet?! I won the ASOS Battle of the Bloggers! Thanks so much to all of you that voted for me. I won with 31% of the votes! I never thought my article would get picked for the final 10, let alone voted the winner, so I am thrilled! The prize is a HP Vivien Tam netbook (omg!) and a little stint as an ASOS street style blogger. They'll give...

Wardrobe wake up: Day 2!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Just a quickie because I'm in the middle of watching Big Brother, and things are getting pretty tense! Don't forget to check out my latest yummy Tuesday tip! On the advice of some of you lovelies from my last outfit post, I tried nautical today! I rummaged in the forgotten corners of my wardrobe and found this super cute oversized t-shirt I got at a car boot...

Tuesday tip: Delicious, easy, swirly sponge cake!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();This week's tip is a recipe for the delicious birthday cake I made our friend William the other day! His mum described it as 'beautiful', and what she says goes!This recipe is the simplest sponge recipe ever, and has been served up on every birthday me and my siblings have ever had, in various multi-coloured incarnations! This version is a bit boring as I only...

Wardrobe wake up: Day 1!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker(); If you caught my post yesterday, you'll have witnessed the exact moment I decided to challenge myself to make more of an effort with my outfits. Every day this week, I'm going to dress in a different style, using only the clothes I currently have. I feel like I wear the same type outfits, day in day out, so I really want to wake up my wardrobe and start wearing...

Lazy Day

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Bonjour! Are you having a lovely weekend? Mine has been a chilled affair. Yesterday I baked a cake for our friend William's birthday, and then we went to his house and hung out. And ate the cake. It was amazing (Pics and recipe to come on Tuesday!).Rather than show you my boring old outfit (t-shirt and shorts, if you must know!), I thought I'd show you some...

Beside the seaside!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Alex and I went to Whitstable with his parents today. I love Whitstable, it's where I spent my birthday. I didn't take many pics because it was raining a lot of the time and I didn't want to damage my cam! I have quickly edited these in Picnik, trying out different levels of sepia and vignette, so excuse the inconsistency! Feel free to tell me which effect you...
