A/W 13 Wishlist: Tartan

It's pretty difficult not to find yourself bombarded with tartan in most high street shops right now and I've managed to resist temptation until I saw Lucy Watson on last night's Made In Chelsea sporting a gorgeous tartan dress. It got me searching online this evening and here's what i found.

Tartan Dreams by lalala-lucy 

I really love bold Tartan pieces like the leggings, top and coat. They definitely make a statement and scream 'I'm so on trend'. Saying that, if I was to buy only one item from this wish list it would be the pinafore style dress. The subtle colour make it more wearable and it could easily be dressed down for a spot of lunch and shopping or dressed up for an evening at the local bar.

I will most likely be investing in some accent pieces to accessorise outfits. At this time of year a pop of colour in an all black outfit really boosts my mood and so I'll be tracking down a tartan scarf in the coming weeks. I love scarves, you'll come to learn this :) Finally, how cute is the flag style necklace! I can just imagine wearing it with a plain skater dress, cosy tights and ankle boots.

Have you indulged in any tartan purchases this season? If so, I'd love to know what.

Love, Lucy

Monthly Playlist

Every month I make a Spotify playlist of all the songs I've been regularly listening too. My taste is pretty varied and so it's usually a mixed bag of genres and this month is no exception.

A few weeks ago i saw Babyshambles play live so had to include one of their newest tracks and one of their classics in my playlist. The gig was great, I've seen Pete Doherty live a couple of times but this was the first time I saw him play with Babyshambles. As usual he was unpredictable on stage but his performance was flawless.

Katy Perry's new album has been blurring from my speakers a lot. I'm a massive fan of hers and although I preferred her more up-beat Teenage Dreams album, I'm so excited she's back with new material. I'm keeping my fingers crossed she announces a UK tour soon. 

I heard Hoodie Allen's song Small Town on a YouTube look book and couldn't get it out of my head for days. Although it's not a new release it's new to my ears and I discovering new artists. 

What have you been listening to this past month?

Ten questions to get to know me

Who are you? Why thank you for asking, I'm Lucy, a 23 year old student from the North-West of England living in the Midlands. 

What do you love? I love food, 80s teen movies, 90s sitcoms, well dressed guys with beards, football, english breakfast tea with two sugars, travelling, dalmatians, hedgehogs, live gigs, converse, Autumn/Winter fashion, wild nights out and cosy nights in.

What do you loathe? Bad manners, ignorant people, raw onions and feet.

What things could you not live without? Family, friends, make up, music, cosy socks, TV box sets and my teddy bear (don't pretend you don't have one).

Crazy fact about yourself.. I have different colour eyes. One's blue and one's blue with a bit of yellowish-brown. 

What are you doing right now? Today's my day off from uni so I'm finding different ways to procrastinate, turns out there's lots. I'm also trying so remove the excessive amount of face paint from around my eyes after Halloween last night.

What are you looking forward to in the future? I'm looking forward to ending my time in education and the unknown possibilities it will bring. I'm also looking forward to Christmas cause I need an excuse to eat more biscuits/cheese/chocolate/meat.

What can we expect from your blog? For now I will aim to create a lifestyle blog documenting the recipes I try, music I'm liking, TV shows I'm watching, opinions on topics I'm passionate about and personal 'diary' type posts about the general musings of my life.

What blogs do you like to read? My favourite blog at the minute is Hannah's. I love her style of writing, her honesty and outright hilarity. I'm a big fan of nail art and recently discovered Nailasaurus. If you love nail art then click your way over there, you'll have a blast. Rosalilium satisfies my need for foodie, fashionie and lifestyle posts all in one place. There are lots more blogs I like to read and I'm thinking about writing a post on them in the near future. It seems like a good opportunity to help people find new blogs and to see how my tastes change.

Where can I find you? I tweet here and pin here. I'd love you to come and join me or leave your social media links below so I can have a stalk gander at what you get up to.

I now have a question for you: If you could do anything and knew you wouldn't fail, what would you do? Let me know if you're taking part in BEDN.
