Have I mentioned my love for velvet before? Well, I do. I do love velvet. Unfortunately, with spring coming nearer, it'll be hard to wear such a rich wintery fabric. This is why I took the opportunity today to wear my H&M velvet dungarees out and about in town. The weather was sunny and beautiful, but still a bit chilly.. So I teamed up the velvet with some floral print. Both the dungarees..overalls..whatever you want to call them, and the floral puffy sleeved shirt are from H&M.
I'm also loving overalls at the moment. I'm waiting for the floral print ones to come out at ASOS and Topshop. But having said that, I also wouldn't mind hunting for a pair of vintage ones either. If I were living someplace where vintage shops are readily available, this wouldn't be a problem. I'll have to wait and see I guess.
It's a sunny
Sunday morning. It's sunny in January, which is quite surprising yet delightful. February is on the verge and spring is on its' way, which means there's even larger room for flowers and floral prints.
Floral prints are on my mind. And floral prints are surrounding me in every shop I walk past and every online store I visit. As part of my "saving money" plan, I thought I'd dig out
florals from my closet before I start going crazy on spending.
Going off topic a bit, I'd like to share that I absolutely love the "save for later" option on
ASOS. The clothes are saved in your account for a month so you can view them easily, and at the same time you have plenty of time to think about whether or not you should or should not buy the items. Unfortunately, there are always items in my "saved items" basket. But I think this helps with the money saving.
Now, back to
florals.
I decided to play around with some of the floral prints I own, and this is my little outfit post for you.
Happy Sunday.

Hi there. How are things?
I'm going to do one of those bullet pointed yokes to inform you of things.
-I (as in Fi) have a new job. Some may say a "proper" job. But I will remain as LooLaa as ever. But I shall have an income now, no more hand to mouth (or wardrobe) living.
-SaveOurShoes has been taken over by David Bowie and Batman.
-After a long search, I have found myself a black knitted snood.
-Y'all should check outthe band,
The Villagers.
-I may have walked past Henry Holland on Old Street, how exciting!
-This past weekend, I have eaten my weight in cakes. And snack foods. NOT GOOD.
-Things over the next few weeks are going to be hectic. I shall be up the walls (ie rather busy).
-Waiting to hear back about LFW, fingers crossed we get tickets at SOS!
Peace,
Fi xx
According to MIA, you can get "anything u want" for ten dolla.
Well, I don't have ten dollars. I have a two dollar bill, which I keep for sentimental reasons, a dollar bill currently serving as a bookmark and three singles in case for some strange reason I end up in NY again soon (wishful thinking).
BUT for two pounds you can get a small coffee here. Or a croissant in an reasonable priced coffee shop. Or a pair of knickers on sale in Primark.
I spent my 2 squids on something else though. A black leather jacket (BARGAIN.. Kerching!). LJ got herself an awesome black leather bomber jacket number which I was seriously lusting after.
LJ modelling her jacket (and some nougat) on the 242 busWhile having a nose around Sunday upmarket, I had a rummage in my favourite cheap vintage stall. And everything (like everything) was two pounds. I found the jacket. It is rather massive, and I have been told I resemble a cross between Miley from Glenroe and an cast member of early episodes of the Bill. Oh well.
Peace y'all!

Well..this is embarrassing. It's been so long since I've blogged, I'm not quite sure how to start this.
..............awkward silence..........
Um, hello. How are you? I'm very sorry for being crap at blogging, but I've been busy busy with final year. And I know we're all busy, and this is why I admit I'm crap. Although, not to worry fellow bloggers, I've been up to date on all of your blogs! I've just been crap at keeping up SOS!.
So yesterday was my birthday! Yippee. My birthday is no longer a big deal to me, especially that I've started seeing wrinkles creeping up my forehead. And especially after my mom said to me last summer: "Lujain, you're no longer a teenager. You're in your twenties now. It is time for you to moisturise". Well, that's a buzz kill. Thanks mom.
It also happens to be Cork Jazz Festival this weekend in Cork. Town is mad busy, probably the busiest I've ever seen it. And we have Monday off too! Long weekend is probably the best birthday gift ever.
I had such a great time with my friends (and thanks ya'll for the lovely time!). I wish some people who live away from here were here as well. And I deffo wish Fiona was here! I miss you my homeskillet.
Dress (BCBG Maxazria Runway), belt (H&M), tights (Topshop), shoes (Christian Louboutin), bag (Miu Miu)
Can I just say.. This was my first time wearing my Louboutin's. I bought them last June and my poor babies have just been sitting there wilting away. However, my feet were dying by the end of the night. I really wish they were more comfortable. Maybe the fact that they have a 15cm heel made them "not the comfiest shoes ever"? Yeah. Maybe that's it.
But I love you anyway Louboutin. Mwah.
Thanks for the birthday wishes ya'll.
