February Wishlist

Is it too late to do a February Wishlist if February is almost over? No? I'm gonna go with no... We got a couple more days left here to deal with people, so let's just do this. 

KILLSTAR // EDEN BACKBACK 
£39.99 
10 % off first order

So Killstar have just dropped some new goodies, and I just so happen to love this print. They have a beautiful dress with the rose print and a pair of socks which I also need to add to my Killstar sock collection.

I've not owned any of their bags before, but I know the little black one they had similar to this was a bloggers dream. I love the corset detailing on the front and the straps just look awesome. Not to mention its velvet, you know what I am like for velvet.

URBAN OUTFITTERS // CORDUROY SHORTS
£36 
STUDENT DISCOUNT AVAILABLE FOR YOU LUCKY STUDENTS

I think corduroy has to be my favourite fabric at the moment. I have to completely be honest the paper bag waist was not really something I had a lust over to begin with, but as I have seen it around more, I would be lying if I said it hadn't grown on me.

I'm a little puzzled as to why these look green on my computer, yet the description says they are blue. Maybe I am colourblind, let me know! haha!

 THE RAGGED PRIEST // BLACK LABEL PRESS DRESS
£65

The price of this, for what it is kinda hurts my soul.. BUT IT'S JUST SO PRETTY!!! 

Oversized dresses are just so comfortable and you can dress them up or down, and they still look fab. 

Go check out this on the website and take a look of it up close for yourself so you can get better eagle eye on the glitter detailing. It's just so cute.

DOLLS KILL / GLAM LONE STAR VELVET BOOTIES
£34.37

These left me breathless.. The western trend is really starting to blow up, and I definitely want to be a part of it. What makes these even more beautiful to me, is that they remind me of something that Vince Noir would wear.. (Might Boosh fans in the house?) 

I have to say, I was very nervous ordering from Dolls Kill because I read a lot of bad reviews about their service. My experience was far from bad. My order came in under a week!!

TOPSHOP // GINGHAM PLAYSUIT 
£32
10% STUDENT DISCOUNT

I was unsure about whether or not to add this to my February Favourites for the fact that it's petite (i'm not quite petite), but it's more in the fact that I am hoping they stock this in normal sizing too; it's very me.

If you like this but can't wait, they have a bunch of stuff similar to this at the moment.

PULL AND BEAR // BASIC SPACE PRINT 
T-SHIRT
£12.99
10% OFF FIRST ORDER
STUDENT DISCOUNT

Couldn't not do a list without adding in a simple graphic t-shirt.

It's just a simple t-shirt you can throw on with pretty much whatever you like. Tuck it in your shorts or jeans, wear under a pinafore. I don't know, I just like the print on both the front and the back!

Happy February! Go buy things!

Witch Casket Unboxing // February 2018

I'm in two minds at the moment regarding these Witch Casket Unboxing videos. Part of me wants to sit in front of the camera and open the box to you and do a little discussion on them. But the other part of me prefers this way; showing you the contents in artsy ways (though this is a little tamed at the moment), and giving you a description over here on my blog. But I'm torn because I'm unsure if this is what people want to see?

This months was a little rushed compared to what I had planned in my head. But like I say sometimes things just don't go to plan! 

My idea behind this has always been that I just want to show you the contents of the box. You can skip through it however quick you like. I just know that by putting myself in other peoples shoes, I just want to see what other people got in their box! I'm not so bothered about them talking about it, and find myself skipping through anyway!

I'm considering doing a giveaway soon. This will include bits from Witch Caskets I haven't used or have no use for. Because even though the whole thing is totally awesome, there are a few bits I won't use, such as the incense. I also have a few bits sitting in a box too :)

List of contents and video below!

On My Teeth // Outfit Post

First things first, I decided to name this post after the new Underoath song which I am going mad over.

I've had these dungarees a while now; every now and then they decide to make a comeback appearance. They aren't quite jean material but they are perfect for being lazy in. 

This jumper is also way older than that. But it was one of those bargain buys from forever 21, I think it was something silly like a tenner! I'm pretty sure they will have similar things lurking around. Both items pretty much go with anything so that I say is a winning situation right there.

The Stress of Doctors Appointments

It's been two weeks since I knew I would have a doctors appointment today. Every day that got closer, was a day that my anxiety regarding my appointment got stronger. When there is an event coming up that I am not looking forward to, I usually work myself up about way in advance. I lose sleep, I overthink the whole situation, I get very stressed.

Going to the doctors is one of those normal events that may cause the average person a little bit of worry, but with people like myself it goes to the next level.

For my back story on this I will link here. But to keep things short and sweet; last year I fainted in public, I had a blood test and ECG, which on the same day was told to got to A&E after the results came back abnormal. After more ECG tests I was let out the same night. I then had a heart monitor on for 2 days. This also came back abnormal, which was why I had my appointment today to discuss this. 

But in my own true spirit, this was not my first appointment. I have actually had an appointment before, but I cancelled it on the day as I spent the whole night awake worrying about it. Today though, I made my appointment, (which I am rather proud of - I know that's silly). I went all by myself! (Again some may find that silly).

Every thing is fine; the doctor confirmed that its more than likely anxiety, though he wants me to do one final test before we can 100 percent rule out the idea of there being any heart conditions. This sounds very unlikely, which is a positive thing. So I am now waiting to go for one more test. He wants to up my dosage of propranolol. At the moment I'm on 40mg twice a day. This is to help with the more physical effects of my anxiety, which to be quite honest with you, has helped a lot.

I think my fear of the doctors hasn't helped with the experiences I have had with doctors in the past. This is making me consider changing the area in which I go. My local doctors has never given me great experiences with understanding or making me feel comfortable about opening up about my mental health. "You look okay" - because I managed to get dressed and put on makeup. "You need to exercise" - because that's easy to do. Followed by the whole unprofessional lead up to CBT - which I never actually went to in the end. More on that some other time. 

Today though was the first time I felt a Doctor actually cared? He was understanding, caring in his nature, concerned and everything a Doctor should be. I'm hoping this may now help my condition to be taken a little more seriously. But should that really be what it takes?

I would like to know if anyone else has had bad or good experience regarding their mental health with the Doctors? Do you dread your appointments too?

My friend came to stay the night recently by the way, the explains the photos of us hanging out. (I am now aware there are some bras in the background, this wasn't planned!! haha!!)

Nomad // Outfit Post

I realise I have been a little quiet again recently; we will talk about that soon maybe! I also realised I never post my most recent Lookbook outfit over here on my blog for you to see in more detail.

It's a little hard to post an entire look on Lookbook as you only get one shot, one photo. So I like to post on here too so I can talk more about what i'm wearing, and add multiple photos. 

I also promise that soon I will post more than just me and my face or my clothes. Like I said I've been a little quiet, I've been slacking; it's about time we picked up on some more topics, besides what i wore today :)

VELVET PINAFORE DRESS // TOPSHOP

Dusk To Day // Outfit Post

Nothing beats a band-tee style long sleeve, or in this case a horror film inspired one? The back print is just as cool, but i found it a little hard to get a picture of that myself; click the links down below to explore further! If you're wondering, I got mine in a size medium as I like my shirts slightly oversized.
