A Geek on Halloween



Ah, Halloween; the day when it’s socially acceptable to cosplay. Last year I had a surprise party invite and I had to throw a costume together in a couple of hours. This isn’t as easy as it sounds as my group are very fandom oriented and the sort of costumes at the party were full Hogwarts robes, the TARDIS, Cecil from Welcome to night vale and Attack of the Titans characters. I ended up going as Princess Lea with just a baggy white t-shirt and my hair in two buns at the side of my head. It was kind of lame so this year I prepared an awesome fem-11th doctor costume using mostly my school uniform and things I would wear again. Unfortunately nobody had a party this year and now I look really geeky with a Doctor Who cosplay and nowhere to wear it. Sorry about the bad pictures, I used the camera on the front of my phone, which kind of sucks.









I'm wearing:
Tweed blazer from H&M I got on ebay for £6
Bow tie that I again got on ebay for 25p
Braces from ebay again
for 56p
My school shirt from Marks and Spencer’s
School Skirt from Tesco’s I got at the start of summer for £5
Tights from Tesco’s
Boots from Clarks
Sonic screwdriver
I stole from my brother for the night

I'm listening to:



I'm going to have to change my posting schedule so it’s every second Thursday because I literally have no free time or transport right now, which is also why the last two posts were from my room.

  1. I loooove your costume! It's perfect! It's great that you wore a skirt rather than troussers :) Doctor Who is my favourite series and I love 11th Doctor :) Btw, what do you think of Peter Capaldi as the new doctor? I read through your previous posts and I think you have a great style.

  2. I really love doctor who too (as you probably can tell). I didn't really like peter Capaldi as much as the 11th doctor at first but he has grown on me and now is The Doctor. Thank you, I love your style and your blog!

Raccoons and Ringlets

After we went swimming the other day, I just let my hair dry naturally. This produced what has been dubbed as my “triangle hair”. My hair usually curls tighter when I leave it, but I’ve been straightening it a lot more often and it seems to have melted my hair or something because the last couple of times it was just straight frizz. The lighting is terrible in all these pictures so if I look a little red that’s why. The jumper I'm wearing is from the men’s section. I find that guy’s jumpers are a lot warmer and the neck-line is so high, you don’t need a scarf. In Primark specifically, the men’s jumpers seem to be less itchy and wash a lot better as they don’t shrink as badly. The styles are usually very similar to the woman’s and they seem to be in more muted colours which is something I particularly like.      I'm wearing: Jumper from Primark (they are  usually  £6 but I managed to get mine at the start of summer for £3.) Denim Shorts from

A Storm in a Teacup

So the other day I was out shopping with my friend when I saw this dress and got a bit over excited. It was long enough to go past my knees! Being something like 5’10, dresses that are long enough on other people are always too short on me. So many of the dresses I have, I have to wear with leggings or even skinny jeans. So the fact this dress wasn’t just long enough, but went past my knees was a novelty. It’s really pretty too, these pictures don’t show the top of it but it has a 1940’s sort of feel to it. I can’t wait until the weather warms up and I can wear it with my arms out.    The iso is a bit high in some of these pictures as the sun was setting so half of them are a bit grainy. I didn’t realise this at the time and even though I kind of like the effect, it would have been better if they all looked the same. Oh well, I will just have to remember this for next time. I also went a bit mad in Primark and I have filmed a video on what I bought, which I’ll

A New Year

So another year has come to an end and I don’t have much to reflect back on. Yes, I have grown more in this year than any other, but there haven’t been any specific things that I am proud of and I’ve came nowhere near completing my resolutions. This year instead of setting resolutions that I conveniently forget within the month, I am going to make ones that I will have to stick to. For starters, my mother and I are going to start an exercise class and drag the other to it. I'm going to try and vary my hair and makeup more and include them in my blog posts. I'm also going to do a 365 project where I take a picture every day. To make sure I’m doing this, I will post them to my Instagram. Hopefully this will make me improve my photos because let’s face it; they’re all pretty bad right now.  These photos are of my outfit from this New Year’s Eve taken on my phone as the connector for the proper camera has broken, so they are all a bit blurry. We had a very casual “party
