OOTD: WWLBD?

... where WWLBD stands, of course, for "what would Luella Bartley do?" I think I'm going to start quoting that when people ask me how I'd describe my style.


Hairband: British Heart Foundation charity shop; Earrings: Aldo (New York); Ring: ASOS


T-shirt, belt: Primark


Skirt: Century 21 (New York); Necklaces: Superdrug & BHS


Tights: mytights.com; Bag: Urban Outfitters (New York)


Off to my friend Ani's house for a girly sleepover complete with face masks and manicures! I've known Ani for about 6 years now plus we were on the Head Girl team at our old school, so we're in about a million photos together; the only problem is that she has such fantastic natural style that I always look so shabby standing next to her! I think I have her to thank for actually starting to care about what I wear ...

OOTD: Getting Shirty

Can you tell how much I love making up these corny post titles? Haha!

If you look at the polaroid in the sidebar of our blog, you'll see that today's outfit is much the same, but with an added splash of BLUE! I picked up this shirt a couple of weeks ago and it was worth every penny – you know when you buy something, take it home and realise that it goes with practically every single piece in your wardrobe?

Shirt: £7.99, H&M



T-shirt: Urban Outfitters; Belt: Uniqlo; Skirt: H&M; Tights: Tesco; Ring: ASOS.

I do love a bit of colour to brighten my mood when the weather's a bit rubbish!

OOTD: Rain Or Shine

Just got back from the cinema – I saw Inception with my friend Sophie, and it has BLOWN MY MIND. I'd highly recommend it if you liked Donnie Darko, Ocean's Eleven or A Beautiful Mind, and it's definitely a DVD I'm going to have to pre-order!

Anyway, the weather in Norfolk was in its usual state of ambivalence, so I went with this to get me through rain or shine:


Top: $28 = about £15, Urban Outfitters
Belt: £10, H&M
Skirt: £9.99, H&M
Socks: £2, H&M
Brogues: £20, New Look
Wrap coat: £15, Tesco

OOTD: Summer Utility

Went out with a couple of friends yesterday to see Step Up 3 (surprisingly deep for a dance movie, I was highly confused, but I'd recommend it) and wore this. Erm, the skirt is not actually as short as it looks:


Top: free, ELLE Magazine
Skirt: £4, Primark
Belt: £10, H&M
Socks: £8, Topshop
Brogues: £20, New Look
Earrings: £3.99, H&M
Ring: £3.99, H&M
Hair slide: £1.50, The Clothes Show
Bag: $37 = about £20, Urban Outfitters



I bought this skirt a couple of years ago to wear to sixth form – we used to have a dress code of smart office-style clothes, and the buttons on the front gave it a lovely smart feel. But yesterday I got so bored of them and took them all off, which means I can belt it and it now feels like a whole new skirt! Plus I have six buttons which I can use to update an old cardigan. Win all round, methinks.


  


The bag was a definite splash-out for me, but it's easily my favourite bag! The design is unbelievably cute and it's exactly the perfect size to fit my phone, purse, iPod and house key inside. I didn't think to take a photo, but the inside is lined with a gorgeous floral pattern and has a tiny pocket too!

A busy afternoon.

Heya!

Had a very busy afternoon today! My little sister and I were in charge on dinner so we cooked about 10 different tapas style dishes (although we ended up with rather massive portions). There was easily enough to feed 8 people so there are quite a few leftover (there are only 4 of us in my family!) We all felt so fat afterwards we decided to go for a bike ride (to the pub!) So here's what I wore...


Playsuit - Miss Selfridge
Belt - Vintage from Urban Outfitters
Cardigan - Topshop

I did have a very brief chance to paint my nails so I did a quick leopard print!


Green - Sparkle & Fade (UO)
Lilac Dream - Models Own
Collection 2000 liquid eyeliner
3-in-one top/base/gloss - Models Own
Been trying out some different make-up looks from the Vogue make-upbook in an attempt to be actually able to do make-up! I think I'm getting better. Will be a long time till I have the skills of Sanchia! (check out the amazing smokey eye below!) 

That's all for now! I'm going to try and have an early night. Just looked through my diary and the last time I got to bed before 11.30pm was nearly a month ago! I need my sleep!

Lots of Love, Millie xxx

OOTD: Let's Play

Playsuit £20 Oasis
So my Outfit of the day today. I say 'of the day' I actually mean between about 4 and 8. I spent the majority of the day in my ski gear but it's both highly unfashionable and unflattering. No one wants to see that. I wore this playsuit to the cinema with Sanchia this afternoon (to see Toy Story 3. Yes I know.) It was a lovely sale bargain. £20 down from £50 in Oasis! Picked it up when I was helping a friend buy a prom dress. Great help I am, spent most of the afternoon trying on random clothes myself!

I wore it with a plain black topshop cardigan and these shoes. I bought them in the Urban Outfitters Sale for $15 when I was in Boston, USA over easter. I absolutely love them but they're to small for one of my feet (I have odd sized feet!). I always seem to forget this though so I ended up spending most of the afternoon walking around with one shoe on and one shoe off because the pain was so bad! Here's a picture of them not on my feet.


Hope you've all had a nice day!

Love Millie xxx
