Blue (Not) Suede Shoes!

 Report Shala Wedge Sandel, $30

Just a short post because I took pictures of my new shoes and I'm totally digging them. They're so cute, the colour scheme is awesome and despite their height, they're really comfortable! They're actually on sale at DSW and are definitely worth the $30 price tag. I think there are multiple colours on the site, too! Man, I love cool shoes. What are your current favourite shoes? x

Video | Birthday & PLNDR Haul!

Here is that haul that I promised! It has a mix of the wonderful gifts I got for my 21st birthday, as well as a couple of things I purchased myself and some awesome pieces PLNDR sent me last month! I'll definitely be including some of these pieces when it warms up a bit and I can leave the flat without five layers. Seriously, so ready for the sunshine. Or even above freezing temperatures because I am definitely too cold to function.

Oh, and just for you, blog readers, here is a photo of me wearing the Middle Earth dress. This is just a phone picture that I took to send to my mom, so it's nothing special, but how COOL is this dress? Definitely one of the best things I've ever owned. (Can we also take a minute to acknowledge the fact that there is a Hobbit poster behind me and I'm also wearing Arwen's Evenstar? I am a caricature of myself.)

From the Closet | Out for Drinks (in the Winter)

Another look from this video! This is an outfit that I'd wear for drinks because it's cute and all it really takes is a coat to keep warm. Nothing is worse than going into a pub and having to strip off three jumpers, scarves and a jacket! Keep it simple with a cute outfit and a big more coat and a scarf!

Scarf / Pull & Bear

Skirt | Gift from mom

Coat | Zara

Fleece leggings | Also from mom

Shoes | Urban Outfitters

Roshambo: A Free People Short Film

As you guys probably know, Free People is one of my favourite clothing brands. I think they are amazing quality, really unique and just really gorgeous. I've followed the brand for years and in the last couple of years, I have become obsessed with the newest catalog or video that they post. I seriously wish I had the skills to make videos as good as the ones they produce; totally inspiring. So, when I saw that they had created their first short film...well, I was a bit more than excited.

So this is Roshambo. A short film with a lot of heart, emotion, lovely music and a damn great wardrobe. You wouldn't think that a film that is essentially being used as an ad campaign for a clothing company would be so engaging but it really is. I adore it. I've also been told this is the first, but definitely not the last film of this kind from my favourite brand, so I will be waiting with bated breath for the next one! Let me know your thoughts in the comments and also go look at the gorgeous February collection. I'll be here drooling over it. Launch a store in London, already, Free People!

Video | Four Looks to Keep Warm!

Here is the aforementioned video! I filmed this when it was below freezing, which is why my fingers are bright red, you can see my breath and the closeups become less frequent as I get colder and forget xD Regardless, I hope you enjoy! This is more about the ideas than the specific clothes. Just tips on how I stay warm, while still looking somewhat put together. Have a great day, guys! x

Instaglam | Gifts from Mom!

Against my better judgement as I'm not too pleased with them at the moment, I've decided to start a little series on my blog called ~Instaglam~ Silly name, but it'll do. Basically, I instagram loads of my outfits, things I purchase, et cetera, so I figured I'd post them on this blog, as well! Won't always be great pictures, but still fun. 

My mom had these hanging on the back of my door when I got back to the States last night. Early Christmas gifts! The dress and cardigan are both form Free People and are absolutely gorgeous. Very excited to wear them this holiday season!

Top Tips | UNiDAYS

I made a video on my non-beauty channel, owlssayhooot, about studying abroad in the UK, particularly London. (For those who don't know, I studied abroad last year and then eventually decided to transfer to stay over here for my final two years of university.) Something I didn't really talk about was UNiDAYS. It basically compiles the list of stores with student discounts into one website. In addition, you can use referral links, such as mine right here, to share with your friends and get credit. I really love sites that have referral systems, because I'm always sharing new sites with my friends and the ability to get money from it makes it all the better. And you can do the same, so yay! Anyway, just wanted to do a quick post about that because I realised just after I filmed the video that I should have mentioned this. Hopefully you get use out of it! x
