FEBRUARY WHAT IS UP! I am never normally one to dislike January or complain that its the worst month ever, but oh my god it was quite a weird/long/cold month! Despite all of that I feel like I had some pretty good/stylish looks! Having less work, only having one exam and only going back to lectures like last week meant I had more time, so I was able to go out a little more than normal, meaning I could throw more time into my style! It was nice but I feel like as I get older (GASP, SIGH, WHO AM I), I prefer to wake up fresh and use my time productively as opposed to wasting it dying of a hangover. Especially because a hangover for me isn't like a day, it is normally about 3 and recently I've found that heavy drinking and hangovers often leave me feeling really depressed and unproductive. So one of my goals for February is to drink less and just do more in terms of creating content across all my platforms and also putting my head down in college.
So all that aside, this blog is just a little insight to my January like I do most months, some of my favourite looks, products etc!
FASHHHUN - What Im Wearing!
So, this wasn't quite January it was New Years Eve however I simply couldn't leave it out because it hasn't made the blog yet and it's too good not to!
This STUNNING catsuit literally made me feel like a part of the Kardashian klan! I can't wait to have a good excuse to wear it again!
I got this from DollsKill and believe it or not it was only about €37!!!
A casual/cute look, I am OBSESSED with the sleeves on this top! These are probably my fave pants I own right now and they were only €10 in the sale in H&M, WIN!!!
Top - Nasty Gal
Pants - H&M
Belt - NineCrows
Hat - Ebay
Shoes - DR. Marten vegan Jadon
Another bargain sale item from H&M, this top was only €7! I loved it with my blue wig!

Choker - Prettylittlething
I am never normally one to wear jeans out but I loved this outfit! I feel like at the moment casual/cool looks for going out are so my vibe! The underboob trend is one I am digging' right now and even though I have no boobs I decided I would give it a go and didn't fail too miserably!
Top - Prettylittlething
Choker - Prettylittlething
Jeans - Vintage Levis
Fishnets - Penneys
Hat - Ebay
Another casual/cool look that I loved! The best part about these kinda looks is you can still make them extra! I am also loving wearing trousers out lately because I feel like it has been winter forever and can't actually imagine what it ever felt like to be warm enough to wear a skirt out!

Pants - FreshTemplebar
Shoes - Demonia
MY FAVES RIGHT NOW!
After hearing rave reviews about the ordinary, I decided to give it a go myself! It is so affordable and also vegan and cruelty free! I have only been using the products for about 3 weeks and I can already see a noticeable difference in my skin. I did break out a little in the second week of use but I'm aware that is normal when trying any new skin care and it was also around the time of my period. My favourite is 100% the Salicylic acid, it literally gets rid of spots and blemishes within like 2 days!
I am definitely going to do a skincare routine video on my youtube channel in the next few weeks and I will explain all of the products in detail as the names could throw anyone off!
Another skincare product! I feel like January was the month I invested in my skin because I am sick to death of buying winter clothes so I am holding off on clothes until it's warmer!
Anyways, this cleanser from lush is AMAZING! Again it did make me break out a little at first but I kind of enjoy this just knowing your getting all the bad out of your skin and giving it a brand new life!
This is also vegan and cruelty free and once again very affordable! Another item that I will go into more detail on when I film my skincare routine!
CARGO PANTS!
I am obsessed, they are so cool and comfortable and make such a fab casual/cool going out look but then can also be worn on a daily basis! As a student I am all about being able to be versatile with clothing so I get my moneys worth!
These STUNNING ones are from the amazing brand, that is EVERYWHERE, that I cannot afford I.AM.GIA! But don't cry yet if you can't splash €70 (and thats before shipping and customs) because there is some pretty fabulous dupes out there,
These ones are almost identical once you add a chain and I like that they have the pocket detail! These are from prettylittlething and come in so many different colours! They are €40 but most of the time on PLT you'll get yourself a nice 20% discount! I couldn't resist as ordered myself a pair last night!
The saying is true, diamonds are a gals best friend! I am obsessed with diamonte things right now! So Paris Hilton. I got this choker from Prettylittlething but they are literally everywhere and anywhere right now!
Small frame sunglasses are such a look! I felt like such a versace slay queen in these!
Once again these are from prettylittlething (like my whole wardrobe right now)
This kinda style is everywhere and there is even some amazing ones to be found on eBay so you can slay all day this spring summer!
SO, that is a wrap on my January! It was such a strange rollercoaster of emotions kind of month for me but I am not gonna let it effect me! It's a new month and time for new goals and a new mindset!
We're coming closer and closer to the spring now and the days are finally getting a little brighter and longer! I love this time of year for that! Hopefully the weather will play catch up soon too because I am so over this cold!
So to finish off I am going to leave you with this ICONIC look from queen Gaga herself because for me it was a total January highlight
She may have been robbed by Ed Sheeran, but she won the whole show for me! THAT HAIR!!!
Happy February, make it a good one!
