Topshop Wishlist (yes another one!)

I love Topshop, it's my place of worship. Whenever I go shopping I always make a beeline straight to Topshop. When I visited Lincoln on an Uni open day,(hopefully I'll be going to Uni there!), I had a look around the town centre and I found Topshop within 5 minutes, I'm like a homing pidgeon for it! Yes, I do have some issues with Topshop (i.e sometimes the prices are just ridiculous and the quality of some items is questionable as well), but the clothing there is so much more 'me' than any other clothing store, so I forgive it of it's sins (and generally buy in the sale). But I digress, as I said, I always find Topshop clothing to suit my style more than any other brand, I think they just get it right all the time. There has never been a time where I've gone into Topshop and thought 'I can't find anything!', I've always been able to go in there and take my pick of all the racks and rails. Anyway, here's what's been making me wish I still had a job, and therefore money, recently.





1. Jade Lace Peter Pan Collar Sleeveless Blouse: Isn't the colour just stunning? It reminds me a lot of China Glaze's Four Leafed Clover polish. I love a lace and a Peter Pan collar, so I instantly fell for this. I'm not sure what you'd wear underneath it though?!
2. Nude Skull Heart Roll Sleeve Tee: I actually think this a really cute tee! I'd wear this with just simply tucked into a black highwaisted bodycon skirt, tights and some brown loafers or brogues. If I had a spare £18 I'd snap it up straight away!
3. Charcoal Tattoo Bird Print Tee: I love old school tattoos (think Sailor Jerry!), so I think this is great. It looks so comfy and easy to wear too.
4. Cream Aztec Print Canvas Backpack: Basically 'I WANT IT'. I love this backpack, I think it'd be great for when I go to Uni, so hopefully it'll come down in the sale by that time!http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
5. Manney Black Suede Slipper Shoes: I reallllly want a pair of shoes like this, I just think they'd go with every outhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giffit, I love them.
6. Jenny Dress by Goldie: I've never really paid attention to http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifthe 'Goldie' brand on the Studio line, but this dress really caught my eye. I love the 60's vibe to it, the pretty cream and coral colours and the unusual pattern. I have a thing for stripes at the minute, and this a quriky take on it.
7. Coral Gathered Slit Side Maxi Skirt: It wasn't until I was finding the link for this that I realised it had a side slit, I'm a bit put off it now, boo :( But anyway, the thing that really drew me to thise was the colour, gorge isn't it?
8. Red Heart Lock Cross Body Frame Bag: Isn't it cute! Ah I love it, I don't think £25 a bad price for the bag eithehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifr, I'll either have to save up for it or pester my boyfriend for it!
9. Petite Grey Marl Hooded Top: I used to live in hoody's when I was a little emo kid, and I really want to start wearing them again, they're soo easy to wear and they look cool too. I'm also starting to look for more jackets and cardigans as one of my choices for accomadation at Uni has exposed brickwork in some of the rooms, so if I get put in one of those rooms I'm going to be freezing and will need more jackets and cardigans to keep me warm!
10. Navy Pansy Print Flippy Skirt: Such a pretty skirt, I love a floral print.
11. Maccoy Black Chelsea Ankle Boots: Mmmmmm. Gorge boots, although they remind me of some old riding boots I used to have!

Hope you liked it, have you got your eye on anything from Toppers at the minute?

This is an outrage!

Today I did a very exciting thing, I made a video!


Yes, my first ever youtube video! I find it a lot easier to make a quick video than to take lots of self-timed pictures on a camera standing on my bed, then having only having a couple of photos that don't make me look like a walrus, it's a lot of effort for very little payback, whereas a video seems a lot quicker and easier, and I still get to show you all my outfits! Apologies for the volume, I was whispering as my Dad's girlfriend was in and I didn't want her to hear me! I've actually made videos before, but I've never had the confidence to post them. Anyway let me know what you think!

Another thing that happened today, which I think is very cool and made me squeal with joy was Dave Brown from the Mighty Boosh tweeted me back after I tweeted him on the off chance. If you're not a Boosh fan, then have a quick google of them, Dave Brown plays Bollo the gorilla in the series, and he's rather cute as it just so happens ;) Anyway here's the tweet, which will make absolutely no sense to people who aren't fans of the Boosh, but if you're a Booshy lover like me, you'll recognise the rather obscure reference :)

Ignore the girl in the middle, just focus on me (lottiepie) and him (JimmyLazers)! By the way I totally realise how 'teenie bopper/crazed fan' of me this is, but I love the Boosh, at least my friend Jason who is also a Boosh Bitch was very excited haha!
Hope you're all okay! Keep it geeky!

OOTN :)

This is what I wore out to celebrate a friends 18th, sorry the pictures not amazing but I didn't have a chance to take any good ones before we went over to friends for some champagne before we hit the club! Well I say club, my boyfriend was performing with his band Infirmity at our local club/bar at their acoustic night, but it was still an amazing night! This dress is from Motel and I love it! I think the white collar gives it a bit more of a quirky edge. The top half of the dress is sheer, so I wore a black boobtube underneath it since I wasn't wearing tights, I definately live by the rule that you only get one or the other out, never both at the same time! The blazer is from Primark, I think it works well with the dress and the heels I wore, I definately went for a more masculine/tailored look here, but I really like it. I love the lipstick I'm wearing here too, it's a Rimmel Colour Show Off lipstick in Kiss Me 140. I'm not much of a smokey eye person, so I like to do lots of liner and a bright, bold lip when I go out instead. I had such a great time last night, but then again great friends, music and lots Disaronno and cola always make for a good night!

How I'd Style A Maxi Skirt.

This basically is summing up how much I reallllllly want a maxi skirt! I'm going on holiday soon and I think it would be perfect for everything, travelling in, going to the beach, going out to eat, maybe even to wear on a night out! So I just thought I'd show how I'd style up a maxi skirt, this is the first time I've done one of these so it might not be to everyone's taste, but fashion's what you make of it and you're own take on things, isn't it!


1. Maxi skirt: Topshop
2. Floral shirt: Rare at Topshop
3. Darth Vader tee: Sweet N Sour at Topshop
4. Sandals: H&M
5. The Beatles tee: Sweet N Sour at Topshop
6. Floral headband: New Look
7. All jewellery: Topshop
8: Popeye tee: Truffle Shuffle
9. Floral tied shirt: River Island
10: Sandals: H&M
11: Giraffe fringed tee: River Island

I never thought I'd ever want a bold coloured maxi skirt, but I saw this on the gold old Topshop website and fell in love. In case you can't tell from the list of products for this, I am seriously in love with everything from Toppers at the minute, I just wish I could afford it all!

Things I'm Loving: Numero Uno.

Apologies for lack of updates,but sixth form has just taken over my life at the minute, and even when I do where an outfit that I that I'd like to put up on here, by the time I get home I'm such a mess, all my make up's worn off and my hairs fallen out of whatever style it's in and I normally get straight stuck into coursework, so sorry! I know I must improve. But, to keep my blog going here's a little things I'm loving at the moment post, which I would actually like to make a regular feature, so here's the first one for you all!

1. The Mighty Boosh

I am a MASSIVE fan of the Boosh boys, and while I've been slaving away over my art coursework, they've been on the computer in the background, keeping me going until the early hours of the morning. I find it a lot easier to repititive work (i.e cutting out photos, sticking them down, annotating, blah blah blah) if I've got something to take my mind off it, so I'm doing it without realising it (does that make sense haha?) and there's nothing better to take your mind off reality than the Mighty Boosh.

2. Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend

My favourite song at the minute, and any song that refers Get Low by Lil John is a winner in my book.

3. Hugging

Hugging makes everyone feel happier. A couple of my boy mates have been having problems with the ladies at the minute so lots of hugs have been in order. One of them said to me that I made them feel loved after I'd given him lots of cuddles, I nearly bloody cried :') It would so much easier if all our problems could be sold with cuddles.

4. Bournville

I've been munching my way through these lately, I'm putting it down to stress rather than me just being greedy.

5. Never Mind The Buzzcocks

Yes, there may be a slight theme to the programmes I watch. Another programme I've been watching during my late nights of last minute coursework, there's just something about Noel Fielding that makes me smile, and Phil Jupitus is very funny too, a very good comedy combination. These little red button NMTB extras I soooo funny (well they are to me anyway!)in one of them, Phil even says Noel's the reason he's still doing Buzzcocks, how lovely is that!

That's it for now, hope you're all well!

Alas, earwax.

Feast your eyes on these my muggle chums, Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans! When my best friend Lauren presented me with these as a gift from Florida, I very nearly weed myself in excitement. I am both a Harry Potter, and a jelly bean enthusist, so this was the perfect present for me. Here's a photo of me trying to convey my excitement:

You can really sense my psychotic excitement can't you? :') As I was saying, my bestie chum Lauren has just returned from Florida, I can't even explain how much I missed her, it literally felt like half of me was missing, that's how important she is to me. After not seeing each other for two weeks, (and barely seeing each other for about 4 weeks before that!) it was rather an emotional affair, me, my boyfriend and our other friend Jonathan surprised her by coming over to her family party (it was her 18th yesterday, she flew back from Florida that night!), and as soon as she saw me she cried, which made me cry, which made everyone laugh at us! For her birthday, I bought her a teacup Pandora charm (which made her cry, then pnce she got over that, my card made me cry!)which fitted in very nicely with her other present off her sister, a gorgeous Alice in Wonderland tea set.

Anyway, back to the beans! I've only just cracked them open, and had 4 so far, I want to save them as much as possible! I've had what I can assume to be Cinnamon Pie, Lemon Drop, Chocolate Pudding and Bubblegum flavoured beans so far, no vomit or earwax flavoured ones so far! There are no flavours on the back like Jelly Belly beans, so you really have got no clue what you're getting and have to rely on your taste buds to tell you, I'm dreading getting a pepper or sardine flavoured ones like Harry and Ron did once!

Speaking of Harry Potter, have you all seen the new trailer? I'M SOO EXCITED! I can already tell they've made some mistakes and done scenes differently, but I'm still excited. I can't wait to see how they bring Sirius, Lily and James back to accompany Harry on his way to be killed by Voldemort (in case you haven't read it, he doesn't die for realz), I hope it's as beautiful as the way it's written in the book, but I doubt it will be, I'm also interested to see how the Battle of Hogwarts and breaking into Gringotts will be done.

Yes, that was an entire post about jelly beans. Thanks for reading till the end if you do haha!
Lots of love, Lottie xxx
P.S just had what I believe to be a custard flavoured bean!

Immense Cuteness.

Apologies for lack of updates, hopefully these bundles of fluffy cuteness will make up for it! Today I went to go see my auntie's new puppy, she's is gorgeous! Eeeeh I love her so much already, and I only spent about 20 minutes with her :') She's going to be called Daisy, and even though she was the quietest out of all the pups, you can tell she's going to be a handful! I really like how she's different to the typical border collies you see, like she has spots and dots all over her nose and belly, and a cute little zig zag coming off the back off her collar (the white bit around her neck). She moves into my auntie's house this Sunday and I can't wait to go visit her!

Anyway, yeah sorry I haven't been updating much, even though it's half term I've been busy going into school a lot and just keep forgetting to take pictures in the morning, then when I remember in the afternoon, I'm not looking soo fresh and all my make up has started to slide off and I doubt you'd want to see a picture of me like that :')

Hope everyone's ok, I promise I'll do some more outfit posts soon, and I also have a collective haul I need to talk about too!
Lots of love, Lottie!

(this is Daisy btw! Isn't she adorable!)
