What's In My Bag tag

Hey everyone!

About a week ago, I did a 'what's in my bag' post but it was the college edition so check it out as you get to see what's in my peers' bags too!

First of all, my bag is from Primark, it was around £12, I think and I originally bought it for college but I love the size so now I use it for nearly everything.

As you can see, I carry a lot of junk in my bag, from food to fabric swatches you'll find it in my bag!

My college kit is always in my bag on a college as it has everything I need in it, speaking of college, I also need my ID pass to get into college. Then we have my make up bag and purse which have all my essentials inside from all my make up bits to my key and oyster.

I also carry a hair brush and my Victoria Secret's fragrance mist, they are just extras in my bag which are only in there if I remember to chuck them in as I carry a perfume sample and hardly brush my hair during the day anyway.

My charger, phone and earphones are always, always in my bag, I make sure they're in my bag before I leave the house. I can't live without music on my bus journeys and there would be no music if I had a dead battery so charger is essential.

You guys got me on a bad day, I've got my lunch in my bag, not a healthy one but it makes me happy and hunger free! I always have my thermal mug with me because I hardly ever have breakfast before I go out in the mornings, I'd definitely recommend you all to get one, especially for winter! Who doesn't love a tea in the mornings?

Then we've got my miscellaneous items, a pen, half a pack of paracetamol which I always need as I'm prone to headaches and all that stuff. Tissues are essential never know when you might need them!

As a fashion student, I'm always in the process of making a garment or doing some kind of sampling and this time I managed to be doing both. I'm currently making a white shirt (post soon!) so I've got to carry that around with me and I'm also starting a new project at the same time which is why I have fabric swatches.

So I hope you guys loved taking a peek inside my bag, I can assure you I don't have this much stuff in my bag all the time (that's a lie). I'm actually surprised I can fit all of it into my bag, it isn't that big, it's a magical bag!

Thanks for reading everyone and stay tuned my lovelies

What's In My Bag? | College Edition

A bit of a different post for you guys today, I'm doing the 'What's in my bag?' tag but not the usual.

I think I will do the 'what's in my bag' tag soon, I just thought I'd share this one first.

In college, we are currently doing a project where we have to do customer profiles before designing a collection and we had to look at what everyone had in their bags to determine what type of person they were.

So we took out some of our contents that best showed our 'personalities' and we laid them out on a blank piece of A3 paper. Whilst everyone had theirs out, I took a couple pictures of different ones. Can you guess which one is mine?!

I think it's quite cool to see what people carry in their bags, I carry my life in mine, when I ask someone to hold my bag for a second, they always say 'woah, what do you have in here?' Weird thing is, I don't think it's heavy!

That's my special edition of the 'what's in my bag?' tag, stay tuned for the original 'what's in my bag?' from me.

College OOTD: Skater Skirt & Cropped Jumper

my hands look horrible, damn you lighting!

Shirt - Primark
Cropped Jumper - H&M
Skater Skirt - Primark
Leather Jacket - River Island
Bangle - H&M
Necklace (set of 3) - Primark
Bracelet, Rings & Bag - Primark
Shoes - Nike Satires

Hey guys,

How's your Sunday? Did the time change absolutely destroy your lovely Sunday lie in? It destroyed mine, I was up at 6, blog reading and online shopping, my body refused to believe it wasn't 7.
Speaking of online shopping, I can't stop, I seriously can't, I've bought so much, eBay has a huge part to play in my spending. There will be a massive haul soon, I've bought all kinds.

Today's post is an OOTD, this outfit was all about layering up. It is definitely getting colder and I'm so excited to start wearing my winter clothes. I have been finding it hard to find that perfect winter coat but I'll get there even if it means I end up with 10 haha

I'm a huge fan of the shirt and jumper combo, it's a great way to layer and change how a jumper looks.
My leather jacket is one of my favourite a/w pieces because it's so easy to throw on with anything. Leather jackets don't keep me warm at all (not sure about anyone else?!) so it is definitely my layering number one!

This outfit was also a chance to get out my favourite skirt. It's a textured, floral skater skirt. I love the way it looks and feels. Even my college complimented it and asked where I got it from, she was surprised when I said Primark. Primark are upping their game (and their prices!) and have some amazing a/w bits and bobs. It's worth taking a trip, I'm sure you'll find loads to buy! If you have already, what bits have you bought from Primark recently?

Hope you guys liked my outfit, let me know what you've been wearing this a/w and how you're styling that jumper or those boots!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned x

College OOTD: Tapered Trousers & Shirt

Blazer - H&M

Shirt - (random shop on the high street)

Trousers - Select

Belt - Primark

Shoes - Nike Satires

Rings, Necklace, Bracelet & Bag - Primark

Hey lovelies, 

Another OOTD for you, I've been waiting ages to rock these trousers, I could've worn them ages ago but I every time I went to wear them, the outfit I'd put together didn't look right.

I'm a huge fan of tapered trousers, who's a fan too?!
I really want a few more this A/W, I think my style is changing quite a bit this A/W (don't worry, the trainers aren't going anywhere!) and I'm really excited to ease the new clothes into my wardrobe.

I know I'm going to get a good wear out of these trousers, they're so comfortable, prepare yourself, you're going to be seeing a lot of them. I'm also loving the shirt, love the fact that it's loose fitting and has movement!

More OOTD's are coming your way guys, stay tuned!

Hey everyone,

My posts haven't been frequent at all this week, I'm still trying to adjust to my college schedule, OOTD's are posts I want to do the most but time isn't on my side.

Due to not having a proper schedule, my OOTD was taken in the college toilet. Classy.
I really liked my outfit so I thought why not take a quick pic, I love wearing all black, wish I had my black boots on and my black shopper bag haha

The image below is one of the images from the photoshoot I planned out. Photography is one of my favourite parts of my course, the whole styling process, choosing the type of lighting you want and to editing your images after.

Once I've figured out my schedule, I promise my posts we'll be frequent and consistent, just bear with me guys! There's going to be a review up tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled!

Thanks for reading!

How's Life Jess? #2

Bodycon Midi Dress & Blazer - Primark

Hi guys, 

I'm here with my second life update, I love reading life updates and knowing what people are up to in their daily life.

Life's been pretty hectic and I'm finding it very hard to keep up with blogging, college and how fast things are moving generally.

College has been crazy, I really didn't expect to be doing more than 3 projects this term, the work is piling up and I'm slowly trying to tackle it. Having 4 teachers teaching me all different things and feeding different info to me is making me really tired and stressed. This is starting to sound like a very depressing post but I'm just trying to give you an insight on why my posts have been less frequent.

However, there has been some great parts of college, I'm learning new things which I find incredibly cool like the collar (pictured), I can't wait to learn some more. I might do a tutorial on how to make a collar! I'm planning to work so hard this year, my grades last year was surprisingly good but I want to do so much better this year.

Uni. Since the beginning of September, all I've been hearing is uni this and uni that, I'm actually quite scared that I've got to make such a huge decision for my future, I'm not sure where I want to go or what I want to do in regards to staying at home or moving away. I want to study Fashion Design, I've booked a few open days for universities I'd like to go to, so hopefully that'll help me make up my mind a bit.

My blogging schedule has been all over the place recently, hopefully there will be a post up every other day, I have so many posts planned out for October, it's just finding the time to actually write the content, taking the pictures is the easy part. I love blogging, if college starts to take over my life, blogging will have to take a backseat but I won't stop blogging and I'll try my best to post regularly.

Lastly, I want to take this chance to say thank you to all my new and old followers and regular readers, I'm so grateful that you take time out from your day to read my blog. I get new followers everyday and I'm so happy that you like my blog enough to follow and keep on reading. I can't wait to get to 100 followers so I can do a giveaway for you guys, just to show you how much I appreciate you all!

If you want to win free fashion for a whole year, Mr Price (South Africa's Primark) is holding a competition, just click here* to enter!

Hope you liked my life update and will continue to support my blogging journey.
If you have any advice on leaving home for uni or if it's better to live with parents, please drop me a comment, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for reading lovelies!

Hey fashionistas!

First of all, apologies for the 'oily faced' pictures at the start, it was the end of the day, I just got in and remembered I hadn't snapped any photos for the blog. Doh!

Second of all, no natural lighting was used for these pictures, dark outside so full on flash, yeah, hence my orange face. Double doh!

Enough of justifying myself, onto the outfit.

I couldn't wait to wear this pinafore, if you saw my 'pinafore' post that I put up a couple of days ago, I expressed my love for it.

I had this outfit planned for weeks and was just waiting for college to come round.

After having a pretty wasted day at college (only went in for an hour and a half), I headed to Oxford Street to check out some shops and make use of the fact that I got myself up and ready, out of the house, looking decent.

Due to being 'decent-looking', I was stopped outside Topshop by a group of college students asking to take pictures of me for their school project, I just smiled and said 'yeah, of course'.

It was so weird because I usually hate people taking pictures of me when I'm not ready but it was such a surprise that I just said yes.

Enough rambling, I'm super excited for Autumn and I can't wait to start wearing all my Autumn clothes and make up haha, are you guys excited?

What was your first day back outfit? Would you wear mine and how would you wear it?

Let me know lovelies!

Also, don't forget to follow me on bloglovin', keep up to date with my posts,

Back To College Mini Haul

White Blouse - (random shop on the high street)

Trousers - Select

MUA Mono Eyeshadow - Shade 19 Matte

MUA Blusher - Candyfloss

Nike Satires - JD Sports

Bag - Primark

Hey lovelies,

Another haul post for you guys, I haven't bought a lot as I'm planning to save up to buy some great A/W pieces.

Obviously, before you start school/college etc you buy all your stationery, notebooks and all.

I have 5 siblings so my mum thinks it's best to buy stationery in bulk and then split it between us, which is a great way of saving money if you have a big family.

Anyway onto the bits I bought, first of all, I'd been saving up for a pair of trainers for the longest time but the pair I wanted didn't feel right when I tried it on. So I decided to get a different pair which I love and the good thing is I still have money to buy another pair. YES!

Clothes. You know them random shops on the high street that no one really goes into? yeah, I decided to have a little snoop and found a white blouse for £4, I was so happy 'cause I love bargains and it's a staple piece for college.

Also, I was on the hunt for some trousers as most of my bottoms are jeans, I went into Select and found a pair of chinos, I want some printed trousers though!

My mum has told me to stop buying make up because I 'have enough' and others around me agree but I can't help buying it, even if it's one or two products to add to the collection.

I went into Superdrug and picked up a blusher and eye shadow just to try out after being a bit upset that I couldn't find the leather jacket I wanted (excuses!)

And lastly, a bag! Primark are bringing out some great items this A/W. I love the size of this bag, I was searching for a large tote bag for college as I needed one that could fit my sewing kit, notebook, pencil case and all my other rubbish in.

I was debating whether to get the black or the tan one, when I met up with my sister, she quickly decided for me 'the brown one!' so I got it.

That was my mini haul, I'm sure most of you have gone back to school/college/ etc but I still have a week to go!

What pieces did you buy for school? What are you wearing too?

I'd love to know!
