Back to School Clothing Haul: H&M, Debenhams, Sports Direct + More

Secrets or lies, I don't mind, I just crave the thrill of the find. Story time never ends when new adventures are on the horizon, so have faith my dear because what's sweeter than revenge is the smell of success.

Always on edge and different from everyone else but that doesn't undermine the power you hold. You just need to believe in the magic and then all will be but forgotten memories of previous wounds that will soon heal, my dear.
You can watch the haul here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZKRqR0cEJw


A Mere Illusion: Can't you see me, my dear? But I'm so near.


This floral flowy circle skirt (H&M) is cute and casual but also trendy as it has buttons on the front which is a huge trend as well as the floral pattern. (£2 was £7.99)

Refresh the Wounds: Forget about the petals behind and glance over the birds in the sky.


This shopping/laptop/school bag is refreshingly vibrant and quite a cute bag without a doubt. It can hold anything you want but just make sure you don't load it with your secrets or spite as it would be a shame if it were to break. (69p)

Back to Black: A habit or A Need?


A little something black never hurt anybody, especially when it's a sexy black lace off-shoulder top (H&M). (£3 was £14.99)

Reborn: Covered in mud but I won't stop.


Green and sleek is this very chic backpack you see (Sports Direct). (£13 was £20)

Enchanted: Always a Cinderella story.


A statement necklace (Debenhams) can have the effect of a ball gown even on the dullest school day, I say. A pair of crystal earrings are perfectly classy and chic. (£4.20 was £14)

Just Me & You: Forever & Always.


A pair of silver earrings (Debenhams) can make any day that more special with their elegance. (£3.60 was £12 )

What do you think of my buys? But more importantly have you been shopping for school?

Back to School Lookbook Grunge Pastel Goth Alternative

We slowly say goodbye to the sunshine and prepare our minds for our return to a place many of us may deem or perceive as ''Hell''. However, we must persevere and cool down that fire with some dark colors and pastels of our shields, tis but our second skin. Ohh yes off-course, I'm talking about nothing else other than our outfits! Now now, if you want to see these outfits in motion, then you know what to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyUwI07bqQQ

Milady: Take another look around for the imposters that're around, cause maybe milady you're one of them in the end.




For this look, I wore a dark purple top (Magilla) which I DIY'ed and I paired it with a lace purple circle skirt (Primark). I also wore a pair of thin black tights (Primark) and for shoes I went with black ballerina flats (Primark).
Tip: Why not try and set a color scheme for each week of school? It can help you narrow down the clothing items, as well as making it easier for you to pair clothing items together.
For jewellery, I had on silver spiked up earrings (Republic), a bracelet with purple skulls (International), a black beaded bracelet with a silver cross (Republic) and a bunch of silver beaded bracelets (Primark).

Battle Knocks: You can build an armour with your army of spite but you can't tear down that longing for, to which we fight.



For this outfit, I wore a purple top (Primark) and on top of it is a lace purple top (Primark) which I paired with some skinny purple jeans (Primark) that I have distressed and DIY'ed. For shoes, I wore my black ballerina flats (Primark).
Tip: A one color outfit ensemble can look great, so why not have a go?!
For jewellery, I wore a dark purple velvet chocker with a silver safety pin pendent which I DIY'ed. I also had on bracelet with purple skulls (International) and a black beaded bracelet with a silver cross (Republic).

Perfectly Executed: Heads bow down. Slice & Splash!



Here, I wore a teal sheer shirt (Primark) with a white vest under it (Primark). I wore denim shorts (Primark) and a pair of ripped fishnet tights (Primark) which I DIY'ed with some silver safety pins. For shoes I wore my black ballerina flats (Primark).
Tip: Mixing two styles together can produce a perfect contradictory outfit, just like what I did here with the preppy shirt and the grunge denim shorts and tights.
For jewellery, on my left hand, I wore a silver wing ring (Claire's), an owl silver ring (Claire's), a skull ring (Primark) which I DIY'ed and a silver ring with a big crystal (Primark). On my right hand, I had a silver leaf ring (Primark), a silver key ring (Claire's), a silver ring with a small turquoise stone (Primark) and a silver ear-cuff with a needle pendent as a mid finger ring (Primark).

Separate Spirit: There is No End After Death. This Ghost is After ... Your Smile.



For this look, I wore a lilac top with a V-neckline (Primark) and a pastel blue circle skirt (Primark) to which I added a lilac lace trim as a belt. For shoes, I had on a pair of grey ballerina flats (Primark).
Tip: sometimes less is more, so instead of reaching for a pattern try and go for pastels as they are ever so trendy. You can make-up a pastel outfit which would be perfect to showcase your statement pieces of jewellery, like what I did here with the spiked up bracelet for example.
For jewellery, I had on a bracelet with purple skulls (International) and a silver spiked up bracelet (Republic).
What's your favourite look for school? Will you start the school year off with pastels like moi?

In this look, I wore a coral top with a high neckline (TopShop) like Emily. Also, I wore a tight short black skirt (Primark) similar to Emily's except that it isn't leather.

Hanna Marin Best Outfits on Pretty Little Liars

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

The most glamours and girlie Pretty Little Liar is Hanna Marin without a doubt. She is always wearing an outfit with screaming colors, that's paired with the highest and most trendy and classy heels. So here is a list of some of the best outfits ever worn by Hanna Marin. Ohh and if you want to see more of her glamours outfits check out part 1 HERE. Also, you can check out my Hanna Marin inspired outfits LookBook HERE.

Photo from Google images.

Here, Hanna mixes two different patterns perfectly since both her dress and jacket are pastel colored and so that prevents the different patterns from clashing. This look is universally wearable at any event; dare I say even at a wedding. This look is trendy as one wouldn't expect anything less from an ''it'' girl like Hanna, as the pastel colors are in this summer and the skater dress is oh so modern & chic!

Photo from Google images.

This look of Hanna's is on point with its color scheme, with an aqua colored blazer and a lilac patterned skater dress. The dress has a heart neckline which is very feminine and the side cut-outs are on trend. Off-course, Hanna finishes the look off with a purple studded handbag, as we all know how much Hanna loves a good handbag.

Photo from Google images.

This look is the definition of 'cool' and it's a more tough and grunge look for Hanna. However, although the leather jacket and the skinny jeans may be rough, tough and grunge, you can still see the the feminine side of Hanna's true style through the softness of the pastel blue shirt.

Photo from Google images.

Here, Hanna is demonstrating how to wear that very essential little black dress, and her living in Rosewood means that she can never have too many little black dresses! But, Hanna being Hanna couldn't leave her outfit all in black and so she had to add a pop of color through her off-course ever so high mint green pointy pump heels. As Hanna is always trendy, she had to have on a collar necklace as that was the year of the Peter Pan collars. But as Hanna's style is feminine the collar had to be one with pearls. Hanna loves to belt her outfits and so she added a thick leather black belt to snatch in and define her waist.

Photo from Google images.

This outfit of Hanna's is editorial worthy with the modern and chic graphic high-waisted shorts. The grey leather jacket is what makes this look casual but the silver necklace is what brings the outfit back to a glamours feel.

This look is Glamours with a capital "G"! The beaded burgundy long sleeved top is chic and party ready and the skinny black shiny jeans are trendy just like Hanna's style.

Pretty little Liars Lookbook Hanna, Aria, Emily & Spencer Outfits

Every Pretty Little Liar has her own unique style, so here is my PLL LookBook inspired by each Little Liar's flare and style! If you want to see these looks in motion then watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9jPQq5S5IA

Emily's style began as casual, comfy and off-course sporty but as Emily's character developed, so did her style. Her style took a grune turn with darker colors, countless flannel shirts and combat boots.

Collage by moi, Emily's photo is from Google images.


Here, Emily layered two tops, a white shirt on top of a black vest and so that's exactly what I did too (Primark). She had on a pink and grey flannel shirt and fortunately for me I owned the same one (T.K.Maxx). Emily wore a pair of skin tight very dark jeans and so I wore my tight leather pants with blue undertones (Republic). I finished off the look with a pair of pink converse (Primark) as the color matches the flannel shirt and Emily loves wearing converse.

Spencer Hastings is the preppy girl out of the bunch. Spencer loves brown belts, bags and boots especially brown leather riding boots. For Spencer a good blazer is a must have, as for her it is a wardrobe staple.

Collage by moi, Spencer's photo is from Google images.


Spencer wore a dress that gives the illusion of a two piece and so I wore a black long sleeved top (Primark). I also wore a navy blue skirt (H&M) which is a similar color to the top she is wearing and is the same cut as her skirt. Spencer had on a long chained golden tribal necklace and so I wore a long chained golden necklace with a tinker bell pendant (Superdrug). Also, I had on a pair of black tights (Primark) like Spencer and I added a blue circle bag (Primark) to pull the outfit together. For shoes I put on a pair of brown boots (Primark) since Spencer is almost always wearing brown boots.

Aria Montgomery's style is the most unique out of all of the liars and the most daring that's for sure. Aria loves to mix and match patterns and prints with a splash of studs here and there. Aria loves to add jewellery to her outfits, unlike Emily who is the minimalist in the group.

Collage by moi, Aria's photo from Google images.


Aria wore an orange see-through shirt and belted it and so I wore a red shirt of the same cut, material and style (Primark) and I added a brown belt (Primark) like Aria. Aria had on black skin tight pants and so I wore my black leather pants (Republic). For shoes, I wore a pair of black pumps (H&M) with a leopard print around the ankle because Aria almost always has at least one item with a leopard print to complete her look. For jewellery, I had on a golden bracelet with leaves detail as Aria is wearing a bunch of golden bangles with her outfit.
Here is a blog post on Aria's best outfits on PLL: http://avrilvanes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/aria-montgomery-best-outfits-from.html


Hanna Marin's style is feminine and ever so trendy! So if you want to see more of Hanna's style here is my Hanna marin Lookbook blog post: http://avrilvanes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/get-hanna-marins-outfits-and-style.html

Hanna wore a red jacket and so as I don't own a bright red jacket like hers, I wore this burgundy jacket (Primark) which is a shade of red and I rolled up its sleeves. Hanna had on a tight short black and white dress and I had a similar dress which is also tight short and its color is also black and white (H&M). For shoes, Hanna wore black pointy pump heels and so I wore black pointy pumps (H&M) too with leopard print pattern around the ankle which ties in with the golden zips on my jacket.
