Hello December...

Cream pom pom hat & spaceman tee: TOPSHOP | Skinny leather pants: RIVER ISLAND | Shoes: CONVERSE

So I showed you these amazing leather trousers the other day and rambled on about them, and here they are in their first outfit.  In my opinion, they were just asking to be paired with this super cool top.  I've only worn this top with skinny jeans or just a black skirt before, so it was definitely a great change to give it more of a 'rockstar' kinda' feel.  Although saying that, I did have to give the look a little bit of, erm, fluffiness, with this hat. (It's cold outside, okay?!)
I haven't done much today but I'd usually wear this outfit for just a simple day to go round town or maybe a trip to the cinemas, something like that.  I think the great thing about these pants, though, is although they can be worn on a chilled day, they can definitely be dressed up for more of a fancy occasion, for example I'd wear a white, oversized blazer over it and some patent loafers to adapt them to an evening outfit.  Do you have any pants like these at the moment?  How do you wear yours?  I'm thoroughly looking forward to wearing them with pretty much every top I own.
Like I said, I've done practically nothing today, which has been quite nice after a relatively busy week.  I had a good sleep last night and lay in until half eleven, and then had a nice long shower.  It's been really sunny here too, which was nice.  Mum also bought me 'The Amazing Spiderman' yesterday which I am reeeally looking forward to watching.  Again.  Because, you know, Andrew Garfield...


What was I saying?

Tap on my window, knock on my door...

Oversized poppy floral tee & black patent loafers: TOPSHOP | Gold chunky necklace: ASOS |
Black organza skirt: H&M |

I've previously worn this tee as a dress with some tights and then just walked out of the door, but because it is shaped like a t-shirt it's extremely versatile and you can easily tuck it into a skirt.  Now I bought this skirt a couple of weeks ago, and in my opinion the organza material is just asking to be teamed with the bright, colourful print of this top.  If you didn't purchase one of these tees for yourself when they were in stock, are you crazyyy?  I grabbed it for like twenty odd quid, and I will wear it throughout the year.  Your loss, man.  However, this amazing skirt is still in stock, and even better, it's only fifteen pounds.  It's much better than a plain black skirt, so I urge you to at least go and try it on, because you will love it.
I decided to wear my loafers again which kept the outfit feminine and simple.  I don't know if I'll be able to wear them again any time soon though as it has gotten so cold recently and it's got to the point where even if I do wear my Converse, my feet are bloody freezing.  It's really made me lust after these amazing foot duvets from John Lewis, how great would they be?  I've actually just bought them after typing that question, my feet are still freezing despite the fact that I've been wrapped up for the past few hours.  Don't worry, dear feet.  <3
So that purchase marks the end of my Christmas present buys.  Mum's just given me the money this year to get what I want, rather than me telling her what I want and then for her to buy them... It's just easier this way, man.  So I've bought them all now and will be opening some lovely things on Christmas day (which I just happen to know I am going to LOVE.).
So I went to the Daisystreet blogger's party last night in Manchester and really enjoyed myself!  I mainly chatted with Abi and Robyn who were both so lovely,  There were also some of the 'bigger' bloggers there (such as Kavita and Heather) who kinda' stuck to their own group so I was too scared to approach them... but I had a really nice time and a damn good cupcake.
I'm now back home since this morning.  I went to see 'The Great Expectations' this afternoon with my mother after some lunch.  I didn't know anything about it but it's been raved about in various magazines all year, so I thought I'd give it a go.  It was pretty good, and Helena Bonham Carter is such an admirable actress, there were just some bits I didn't really get... But oh well!

I FOUND THEM!: The perfect leather trousers

Faux leather skinny trousers £40: RIVER ISLAND

*high pitched singing voice* Haaaaaallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.  Ahem, anyway... Look, look!  If you've read my blog before, or even my Twitter feed, you're probably aware of my long, unsuccessful search to find the perfect skinny leather trousers, which has been going on for some time now.  However, the search finally came to end yesterday when I spotted these babies in River Island.  Spending ban?  What spending ban?  I just saw these on one of the mannequins and then ran to find them and try them on.  Oh boy, am I pleased with them.  I didn't want leggings as I still wanted the pocket detail and for them to still be slightly baggy, but still have most of that painted-on effect.  This pair definitely tick all of the boxes for me, so I can't say I feel guilty about purchasing them.  I will be wearing them a ridiculous amount of times from now on, especially seeing as they will go with literally every top in my wardrobe.  Tees, jumpers, shirts and blouses... EVERY SINGLE ONE.  Breathe, breathe... I am so pleased that they are slightly high-waisted, too, as that wasn't a necessity for me but it's definitely a bonus. 
What size I buy for my bottom half depends on which shop I'm buying from.  In Topshop I'm pretty much always a 10, but in places such as Zara and River Island I need to size up, so I tried on these in a 12 (the last pair in that size, too) and they fitted perfectly plus a bit of extra room (so I don't need to worry about eating my massive dinners whilst wearing them...).  Oh, and they're not too shiny either... Man, the list could go on and on.
Are you digging leather trousers at the moment?  Do you own a pair?  I just want to throw on a band tee and paint my nails black and just be a total rock chick.  (She says whilst watching Countdown).

All along it was a fever

Blue pom pom hat & fair-isle knit snood: TOPSHOP | Low drop sleeve vest: REPUBLIC |
Split maxi skirt: RIVER ISLAND via ASOS | Shoes: CONVERSE

Oh look at me flashing some side boob.  I purchased this top a while ago and haven't worn it much really, so I decided to pair it with this maxi skirt which I recently bought, and I do like how they look together.  I think the long skirt balances out the skin flashing that the top causes.  I did buy this top not knowing the sleeve holes would be so big, but I can't say they've put me off wearing it, despite the accidental boob flashing which may occur when wearing it.  Man, it's a good job I have a nice pair of breasticles.
Obviously I am showing quite a lot of skin for a winter's day so the least I could do is to have added some seasonal accessories: see cable knit hat and chunky snood.  Oh, and a coat would be a good idea, too.  I like how the red colours in the scarf tie in with the deep red tones of the top, making the outfit look that little bit more put together.  The Converse gives the look a more casual spin, too, which definitely helps to dress down the long skirt and also not make it overly sexy.
So I went to my first blogger's meet up last night here in Manchester.  Like I said yesterday, we went to Harvey Nichols for a couple of hours and then some of us went for a bite after.  I won't say too much as I have some pictures of it so I will do a separate post on that in the next few days, but it was so lovely to meet new people and to do something a little bit different.  Oh, and I have a great little goodie bag which will be passed on to my mother which she will be very pleased about.  I also have another blogger's party thing tomorrow night which is being held by Daisy Street.  A lot of us who went last night or going to that too so it will be good to talk to them some more!  Hopefully I'll get some pictures of that one, too.
I've had a nice, relaxing day off today but I've got an assignment to hand in so will be getting on with that for the rest of the night.  I'm in a jolly mood though as I have found the perfect skinny leather trousers today.  Yep, my months of searching have come to end.  Watch this space for more on them.  OH, and a random (and yet surprisingly uncreepy) guy said I'm 'gorgeous', which was also a little highlight.  Yep, I still got it babeh.

1. I really like this simple tee and think it would look great with a pair of ripped jeans.
2. I really am after some skinny leather trousers.  I'm not sure if these are long enough as I don't want them to be cropped, but I'll have to check them out in store.
3. I would definitely buy this if I knew that the black vest underneath is comes with it, but I don't want it if you can see right through it...
4. The print on this sweater is awesome.  I'd wear with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a beanie hat.
5. I've wanted this tee ever since seeing it on a woman years and years ago and thinking she was the coolest person ever.
6. The mixture of the big and small spots is what attracted to me this tee, as well as the contrast in colour.  I'd toughen it up with some black leather skinnies (see number 2).
