The Monster: Style Spotting

So, now that everyone is able to wear their own clothes in sixth form, I thought I would be the observant one of the year. I searched the year group for people that wore nice outfits. If I saw anything obvious, it was this - spots. Polka dots everywhere!

Here are the clothes that I loved the most this week:

I love this laid-back yet eye-capturing look
The denim jacket is so stylish and worked well with Britain's
warm autumn weather.
The bright skirt adds a girly touch to the neutral outfit and I
love how it works so well.

I loved this outfit on her.
The look is so adorable but at the same time, it looks grown-up.
This is perfect for school, parties, days out etc
Basically, it's a really diverse outfit.

More polka dots!
This top is perfect for a smart, casual look and stands out against the cardigan

These leggings are so gorgeous!
They're very rock-y and the silver pattern stands out so well.
The plain top balances well with the patterned leggings.

Do you ever style spot? What do you find?

Amazing Alex: Review- Maybelline BB Cream

Lately, I've been really enjoying these reviews, so I thought I would do this one since I recently purchased a new foundation. I purchased the BB Cream foundation by Maybelline.

I've gone through several different foundations and this one is not one of my favorites. I don't think it has very good coverage, (at least for my skin.) It leaves my skin looking very dewy and cakey and I preferably don't like that look. I prefer a matte finish.

It's light weight, which is very nice. I like them to be light weight so it feels like I'm not wearing any foundation.

Although, it's not my first choice for a foundation, I'm sure it will work differently on different skin types. If you're into a light weight tinted moisturizer and you have little blemishes, I feel like you should totally check it out!

If you've tried this, comment below what you think.

Xoxo,

Alex xx :)

Amazing Alex: 2 Outfits I Want

Hi everyone! It's Alex once again with a post for Fashion Fridays! It's been awhile since I posted something on this blog, which I strongly apologize for. I've been very, very busy with school, soccer, homework, and my other blogs including my main blog and my other collaboration blog. 

For this post, I thought it would be appropriate to include some outfits that I've been eyeing on Tumblr, Instagram, and the internet in general. I hope you like them. 

I'll be sure to post some more outfits later on next week. 

Thanks for reading! Xoxo,

Alex

The Monster: Rock Meets Nerd

Okay, before you attack me for saying I'm a nerd, I actually do pretty well in school! So I think I qualify to do this look.

Top: New Look
Skirt: h&m
Braces: This shop at Southend-on-sea but you can get them from Claire's
Tights: Next

I love to be experimental when it comes to my clothes. Since, I can wear my own clothes to school now, you're going to be seeing more of these on here.

This look was inspired by my love for rock music and the moment I found my trouser braces. I forgot I had them. Even the simplest of things can give you the best ideas.

 

Watch: Select
Necklace: New Look
Bracelets: River Island

My friends definitely had some fun with the braces; they took every chance they could get to stretch and ping them onto my torso. It hurt. 

Also, the cold has made a very big entrance into Britain so expect to see some more posts that are autumn-based.

My Favourite pieces of clothing at the moment

This is me:

Just so happens, a close friend of mine is one of the writers of this blog (The Monster). As she has a lot of coursework to complete and I have finished mine, she has asked me to take over her section of the blog for this week.

The blog that I write isn't really a beauty blog so this is all new territory for me but here goes:

During the summer I did loads of shopping, as you do, so i thought I'd do sort of a haul/my favourites blog so here goes:

My blue denim skinnies - I bought these in a sale at New Look for £12 and I love them. They are just so comfortable and go with anything. Here's me wearing them the other Saturday:

I teamed them with a dollar symbol tank to from Primark and some Flip Flops from a tourist shop in Italy.

My Purple Paisley scarf: I saw this in a local charity shop and fell in love with it and with a price of £1.50, I just had to get it. Its one of those accessories that will help with the transition from cool summer nights to chilly autumn days.

My Top Hat: Yes, I bought a top hat and no i haven't worn it in public yet but i will. The reason I bought this was just because it was there and it was quirky - at the moment he lives on the top of my drawers but don't worry, one day he will see the outside world.

My Quirky High Tops: These are my two favourite pairs at the moment. I bought the blue ones with cartoons on in Cardiff last year at a shop called Deauchmann for £15 and the teal ones I bought from Republic for £10 before they shut down where I live. I prefer these sort of high tops to just plain ones as they show me more through them and not many people have them.

Thats me done. If you want to check out more of me, my blog is littlewelshgirlvlogs.blogspot.co.uk

The Monster: Day Dresses

I went back to school on Wednesday! I'm officially in Year 12. 

The weather this week has been astonishingly hot for September. It doesn't feel like the end of summer at all; it feels like the beginning.

Anyway, since the weather was so hot, I wore day dresses for school this week. I love day dresses - they're so comfortable and there's so many styles. My personal favourite are the ones with the collars. My mum and I ordered quite a few of those but some account issues meant we had to either wait a long time for them to arrive or cancel the order - we cancelled it.

Day dresses are, in my opinion, something quite modern. They're not summer dresses or maxi dresses. They're just dresses. They don't look nice to wear at night (hence the name) but they're perfect for everything else.

Wednesday - I wore my galaxy dress on the first day back at school
From Club L
The belt is from Dorothy Perkins - I felt that it made the dress that little bit better

Thursday - my favourite style: collars
From h&m
This dress is really nice to wear on a really hot day but you do have to wear
a blue or nude bra since the back is chiffon and completely see-through

I was planning on wearing a white top with a red skirt for Friday but the extreme change in weather made me do a last minute swap to jeans. It was freezing cold and slowly warmed up again during the day. 

So, my first week went pretty well. It was really relaxed and I think everyone got their minds to work mode really quickly! 

That's all for this week! I hope everyone's made a good start on the new school year as well.
