Another month done and with that I am coming super close to the end of my second last semester in college! Assignment season is in full swing and to make it a lil bit more fun is retail at Christmas time! But really I can't complain because overall I am genuinely content with life right now even if every few days or so I panic about the fact that I have less than 6 months left in college and no clear direction of where my life is going afterwards, BUT I also see a bit of fun in this. I could never imagine myself as someone with tunnel vision on what they want to do, like you know those people who come out of the womb knowing they're going to grow up and be a doctor. Nothing against those people, in fact I applaud you for having your shit so together, personally I am just accepting the fact that I am organised chaos and unpredictability is what suits me, I'm a gemini, structure will never suit me. 

November was actually a really great month for me I kicked it off with a weekend in Belfast and had some fun nights out throughout the month and in terms of work and college, despite both getting busy now, all is good! 

So like I always do with these monthly update style blogs I am going to kick off with what my steeeez of the month and some of the looks I have been wearing! 

Mesh Camo top - Prettylittlething

Corset style top - Dollskill 

Trousers - Charity Shop 

Coat - Forever 21

Shoes - Demonia 

Hat - eBay 

This was a look from the very start of the month, but one of my faves! I think I've mentioned before my style inspo of this season is heavily influenced by the Bratz dolls (LOL) and I felt like I completely channelled that here! 

Trousers - Topshop 

Cropped top - Prettylittlething

Belt - Prettylittlething

Chain & choker - Fresh Templebar

Hat - House of Erotique (on depop)

I got these trousers whilst in Belfast in topshop and I am obsessed with them, they are such a good fit and the wide legs make them so stylish, they make literally anything look FASH-UN!

Leather Bralette - Missguided 

Harness - Wildthing 

Trousers - Unexampled Apparel

Hat - House Of Erotique

Shoes - Demonia 

How kick-ass are these flares? I love them so much and they are made by the AMAZING unexampled apparel who I got my amazing festival two piece from for Body and Soul this year! I love to support an independent brand too! 

Blouse - NastyGal 

Shoes - Demonia 

Trousers - H&M 

Coat - H&M

Hat - House Of Erotique

Just when I thought I had enough coats for the season, I lay eyes on this one and black Friday happened shortly after. But I regret nothing, it was the best money I have spent this season so far. This faux fur beauty is super heavy and perfect for this baltic winter we're having! I went about 3 sizes up in mine to make it even more extra. 

First up on my list of faves this month is white eye liner! It is so different yet so simple!

I got mine from inglot, I cannot remember the exact price but its not too pricey and they are cruelty free! 

Corset Style tops! 

I can't get enough of these little cuties at the moment, I bought this one in H&M even though it is almost identical to one I have already! I love them because they can be worn alone or over tops to add something extra and finish off a plain top and pants kinda outfit! 

... And thats a wrap for november! The countdown to Christmas is officially on, I am genuinely really excited this year even though I have been freaking out about the food side of things for like months, especially as it is my first Christmas as a vegan. I have of course done plenty of veggie Christmas dinners but unlike most people I actually hate Christmas dinner so me personally this year I think I am just going to make a curry of some sort for myself to enjoy while the rest of my family enjoy their traditional dinner lol. 

I think my aim for December is to keep focused in terms of college, work, my blog and set some goals for 2018 and of course have a good time, because despite the darkness and the cold of the winter Christmas is one of my favourite times of year! I can't wait to reunite with all of the people I haven't seen in way too long! I think another aim of mine this month is to remember that Christmas isn't all about receiving gifts and it is important to give too, especially to the people not as lucky as you might be. Dublin has so many rough sleepers right now and the weather is unbearably cold so it is important to try and give where we can, even if it isn't money there is plenty of charities accepting warm clothing and other necessities. 

Stay cute, Stay warm and have fun this December cuties and remember Mercury is in retrograde so don't let your emotions get the better of you! Especially all my fellow gemini's!
