Winter is a coming.

Hello my honeybears!

Yes, I have resurfaced. Finally. Did you like my Game of Thrones reference?

Anyway, as you may have noticed if you have dared to venture outside, it is getting fairly nippy. When I say fairly nippy, I mean I have been frozen solid and telling everyone how horrifically cold I am along with constant shivering and teeth chattering.

Due to this, rather sudden, weather change, I've decided that I would show you my woolies. Hats, gloves and all the other wooly goodies I own.

This is currently my only cardigan...for now. It's so nice and cosy and snuggly. I love it so much even the colours. My hat is also brilliant, admit it? It's cute as a button and being a bear is all the rage these  days, don't y'all know?
Cardigan - Primark - £16
Bear Hat - River Island - Christmas Present
 This is actually a lads jumper from Matalan years ago. It's so big even though it's a small. Men are really big, aren't they? It feels like you're getting a big, warm cuddle all day when you wear it. The one downside: due to my long hair, when I pull it over my head I end up getting my hair stuck and pulling it out. Ouchie :(
 I can honestly give you no details on my lovely owl jumper as it was a Christmas present off my boyfriend last year. I can tell you that the neck was so scratchy, to the point where my neck was red raw, that I had to 'trim' the harder parts off and wash it with A LOT of fabric softener. It did shrink a touch :( ANYWAY, I got the hair band (yes, it is a hair band) as a gift too but it was £12 from a Christmas fair in Durham City Centre. So looking forward to it this year. If you're from the North East, come along, there is everything. I always feel a bit like a cougar in leopard print. I feel I should be inviting young men into my house because I need my pool cleaning. This would, however, help if I had a pool and wasn't 19.
 Same jumper, I love it. This hat, known in my household as the Bat/Cat hat, was the first animal related item that I bought as an 'adult'. It is from River Island about 5 years ago at around about £8ish pounds. Don't quote me on that. I feel like a child when I wear it but it makes me happy. Wear what makes you smile.
 Just chillin', being a raccoon. Yet another River Island purchase. This was during my love affair with River Island which ended abruptly last year after an incident with a pair of shoddy studded leggings. Anyway, off topic. I always wear this in winter because when it snows, I feel like lying down and burrowing. Do raccoons burrow? Am I confusing them slightly with badgers? It's also not that thick so I can wear it under my coat but it's thick enough so I can warm without an extra layer.
 This is without the hood and looking vaguely normal.
 AHHH! MITTENS! I love mittens! They're foxy/raccoony too. Guess where they're from? That's right. RIVER ISLAND! Animal stuff makes me more happy than I care to admit and they do/did a brilliant selection of animal related clothing during the winter. These are actually really toasty but the thumb is slightly too big from my hands and when the tops are down, it is, naturally, difficult to do anything.

 One of my cats decided to help me by trying stealing my camera and 'redesigning' my leggings with her claws. She's all heart, see.
I really love winter. Do you? Let me know your favourite season :)
That's me done for today.
I will be back soon to ramble aimlessly about life.

Toodles!

Tearing s**t up

Hello my honeybears!

Probably a pretty bizarre title for this post really but I love tearing/cutting my clothes up. I have destroying my tshirts down to a fine art.

I hate tshirts that have really high necklines so they're proper choking around your throat. They make me really claustrophobic so I started 'customizing' my tops. I use that word lightly because I don't add anything on, I just rip stuff off.

I bought a Batman and Robin top from Triple S when I was like 14? Yea, round about then (that was 5 years ago btw) and the neckline was so high, I honestly thought I was choking and the sleeves were really tight so I looked like an over stuffed sausage.

The top and I were then alone in a room together and one thing led to another and....I cut the sleeves and neckline off. Oopsies!

It looked better tbh and I no longer felt as self conscious because I didn't think I was going to die.

I did all this like, 5 years ago and the top hasn't unravelled as of yet.

My thunder thighs and I were just being fabulous...darling
Batman and Robin tshirt - Triple S (many moons ago)
Jeans - Matalan - £12
Belt - Primark - £2 - I think
Peace Sign Earrings - Newlook - £2.99


Earrings - As Above

Closer look at my top
My hair looks slightly ginge here but I'm trying out Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow in I'm Pure 4 Sure so my skin looks better (kinda) than normal. Full review when my other Benefit products arrive (SO EXCITED!).

Being Dumbo so you can all laugh at me.

I don't just massacre tshirts either. Old jeans and dresses are also victim to the scissors of doom. Nothing is safe!

Anyway, I'm currently in Huddersfield as I'm having 2 days off from my vet placement and I'm shattered so I'm off to chill and watch Doctor Who in bed.

Toodles!

 Ah My God! Look how happy he is!
