Dungarees - Boohoo
Top - Primark (Menswear)
Necklace - New Look |
There's something about wearing dungarees that makes me feel incredibly young again. I bought this pair from Boohoo about 4 years ago and like to kid myself that they still fit. (They really don't.) I don't usually wear denim this light but I actually like how versatile this shade is - it works just as well with a black top underneath as it does with a white one. I am after some darker denim dungarees however (not to mention ones that don't feel as small!) I tried (and very obviously failed) to roll my sleeves here which is ironic really because I used to ridicule my brother for doing this about a year ago and now it's all the rage!
I also love wearing this necklace, I'm on a real geometric jewellery obsession at the moment. I've been browsing online for triangular shaped earrings and even purchased some geometrically shape temporary tattoos which I'll be featuring in another post! This necklace is great because it's not too chunky or too long so can be worn easily during the day. It's like a statement necklace with a hint of subtlety. Just my cup of tea.

This year it really has been a case of the January blues (and don't even get me started on university stress!)


I've been after a new purse for about six or seven months now to no avail. I really wanted to find one that wasn't black or brown so I popped into TK Maxx to see what they had on offer. I foolishly looked at design first and prices second, and fell in love with a beautiful blue number by Michael Kors. The price wasn't so beautiful though - £79 is just a
little out my price range! But tucked away behind the majesty of Michael Kors was this little beauty who, at £12, was a bit more student friendly. The purse is by
Graffiti, established in 2007 and it's the perfect size for me. It's great as well because it matches a fair amount of my wardrobe. It'll pair up perfectly with my denim shorts and my denim shirts! I'm also loving blue nail varnish at the minute - blue isn't quite as gothic as black but when worn with lighter denim such as my acid wash jeans from New Look, still showcases a bit of edgy grunge.
Nails Inc.'s Motcomb Street is my current favourite.

I'm a little bit in love with my new found combo.
The fact that it's been warm enough to forgo my leather jacket this week means that my denim jacket has been in high demand. It is a little on the large side so I tend to roll the sleeves up in the hope of preventing myself from looking like a big blob of blue.
My favourite part of today's outfit though is my white halterneck 'disorder' top from Urban Outfitters. I can't even remember how many years ago I bought it now but it's one of those items that seems to always get lost in amongst my other tops and tshirts but every time I re-find it, I remember how much I like it.
I love tying anything I can get my hands on around my head, especially on days where my hair just won't behave: bandannas, old necklaces, bits of ribbon - anything goes. Which is good, because my hair is a mare a
lot of the time.
But I can deal with my hair as long as this sun keeps on shining - everything seems so much better with a little bit of sun!

Last week took the form of a nice collection of activity-filled few days: I met up with my best friends who I hadn't seen since Christmas; Mum and I took our dog on a long (and windy) walk one morning; I went shopping a couple of times (sadly not for myself) and I finally got round to re-dip dying my hair. So all in all, a pretty decent week.
The pictures suggest that the weather was nicer than it actually was but I can't complain - we managed to avoid the rain! The wind, on the other hand, was out in full force and being the idiot I am, I stupidly left all my gloves at uni so by the time we got home my hands were absolutely frozen. It was worth it though, the walk totally tired Popstar out: she just got a bit comfy on the wrong bed!
As stated above, I also dip dyed my hair again. My hair really needs a cut but I'm planning to dye the ends red in a few days so I figured I'd cut it after all the hair dying is done. As my hair is so dark naturally, I had to use a pre lightener on it first but I actually love the colour it turns the ends of my hair. Which is ideal really, as I can't dye the ends red straightaway.
As for the denim jacket I'm wearing there, I bought it ages ago for a cheeky £10 in the January sales from Urban Outfitters and I swear I wear it all the time. I love the collar detail and it's perfect under my ever-growing collection of men's jumpers.
Happy Easter!
