Had a overwhelming urge today to wear full black this morning, but then I didn't want to be too ~dark, so I went for my velvet glitter skater that everyone and their mum has (cheaper & nicer versions via ebay, but I cant currently find any, but trust me you can get them way cheaper than what I paid for mine a few months ago!) with my diamanté Topshop jumper I've owned for yonks. This jumper used to really smell of rust for reasons unbeknown to me, but the odour has now thankfully gone! No idea why it was like that, but least I can actually wear it now without gagging! Also wore my hair in a messy beehive-ish thing today. Its my sort of my go to hair style at the moment because its easy and takes 5 mins. I love the Brigitte Bardot look, its so effortless and cool. I think I'm going to finally brave a trim soon as my hairs just getting a bit too long to manage. I cant imagine not having long hair but a few inches arent going to ruin it!

Going to a Very.co.uk event tomorrow and then I have a really exciting photoshoot thing with Forever 21 after. Fingers crossed the shoot goes well as Im doing something really exciting with them in the next few weeks! Cant wait to share it all with you! I'll be posting stuff on my Instagram (my username is llymlrs) throughout the events and I think I'll start doing the cliché  (but always my fave) weekly photo round ups on ETCLLYMLRS again now that I can be more out and about! Really excited about life at the moment!

dress: topshop
jacket: primark
scarf: river island
necklace: asos*
hat: H&M
shoes: topshop
rings: market stall, jwlry, love hearts and crosses*
nails: aa nails poppy red*, barry m strawberry ice cream* and wah x models own nailpen*

This is what I wore on Monday to go see Kate. I feel like I really should get back into the swing of posting what I wear on the actual day I wear something. Just been a bit all over the place in the last two weeks with pre shooting outfits! I hardly ever wear my Allegeras any more, I think because they got so popular I decided I didn't like them. Such a hipster. The dress is the Petite version of the grey marl midi dress that Topshop has at the moment but that just drowns me. I have so much love for grey marl jersey! It just has a lovely slouchy off duty feel to it which I love. The necklace was something I picked through ASOS Future Stylist as I had my eye on it for ages!

Im off to a Viktor & Rolf product launch for their new Spicebomb fragrance tonight, which is actually a male fragrance but I LOVE male smells. My favourite Man smell is Versace Blue Jeans, which I used to force all my ex boyfriends wear. I smelt it on the tube (makes change from B.O.!) the other day and was sitting there sniffing this man! Haha. The oyster holder is from this ebay seller, and I just cant get enough of it so I just had to include it!

I was asked to be part of the ASOS Future Stylist competition on Saturday after a last minute drop out, Bearing in mind I was in London two days then moved house on Friday so I had really little time to think about it. I panic ordered tons of stuff but only had a £150 budget! I always try not to get involved in blogger competitions as it then makes me realise what a smallfish I am when it comes to srs fashion blogging! But its ASOS, and totally one of those brands I'd love to get involved with! But anyway it would mean alot for me if you could vote for me. You have to go to the ASOS Future stylist app and then vote for me within the app. By voting you also get entered into a competition where you can win £200 vouchers!

The theme for the first challenge was "candy denim", not jeans as someone on Facebook (un)kindly pointed out! I don't do denim or pastels so it was a bit of a challenge for me at first. I went with double denim ensamble in my safe colours, pink and black! The shirt has a lovely thick denim quality and the pussy bow makes it feel surprisingly girly for a denim shirt. Also picked these amazing oversized round sunglasses, They are just so quirky and striking I couldn't resist! You can see the full length shot on my voting page!

Nothing like a bit of casual bribery but ASOS have kindly offered me a £25 voucher for my readers who do vote for me! See the entry requirements and details below! The winner will be picked at random using a number generator! You dont particularly have to vote for me, there are alot of amazing bloggers in the competition (including Audrey, Morven and Jazmine), But thanks so much in advance if you do vote! Fingers crossed I make it to the next round!
- Giveaway ends on Midnight 1st February (GMT)
- Open to anyone and everyone! (+ International Readers!)
- There will be ONE winner!
- The prize is one £25 Asos Voucher.
- Winner will be chosen using random.org from the comments
- You must "Like" Asos on Facebook and vote for me (if you want to) this link
- Make sure you leave a comment below saying you've voted!
- Leave your email or blog link so I can get in contact with you!

Went shopping with Gh0stparis today, spending money we didn't have on things we dont need. As you do. She took me to Wagamamas which I can confirm was very good, was my first time too! I actually wore this outfit on Saturday to Westfields and these were the test shots I quickly did in my new room. Not too bad, dont like the carpet because it casts a grey tone over the image and wearing shoes on carpet is really bad, but for the sake of people who need to see the shoes We'll have to roll with it! Also this was the day after I moved in so it could do with a good hoover!

If theres one thing I hate more than fake pockets, its fake buttons. This Primark shirt is lovely but gapes at the neck as it needs another button just to hold it all together. Just seems so silly having buttons on the outside that actually dont do up all in the name of "detail"!
