Blogger Of The Month: Lucia

I can't quite believe it's time for blogger of the month again! These months are going far too fast and i'm a little bit scared that it's already May 2013, in my head I still think it's 2008 (and probably always will be!)

This month i've gone for a slightly different style of blogger, this is Lucia and she writes a blog called 'Who The Fuck Is Mick Jagger'. I'm not ashamed to admit I discovered her through googling pictures of  young Mick Jagger, to basically perv on! Her blog is a mix of outfit posts, music and just imagery that she loves, and whilst she doesn't post very regularly she gives off this really laid back, quite rock n roll (that sounds cringe but it's true) vibe which really interests me.

I don't know if i've said before on my blog but I really love this style which I like to call '70's groupie' people like Anita Pallenberg, Stevie Nicks and more recently Lou Doillon. Women who layer clothes, wear floppy hats and look as though they've spent all day in bed before waking up and throwing anything they could find on. I like a good kimono, floaty sleeve and floppy hat and Lucia makes it all work by throwing 60's and 70's inspired looks together and it just works. I wish there were more photographs I could show you guys of Lucia but these were the most recent outfit posts on her blog and almost leave us desperate for more!

The other interesting thing about her blog is she is honest and real which I really appreciate, she writes posts about how annoyed she is she couldn't get Rolling Stones tickets or how she just wants to lie around drinking cocktails in the summer. She seems like the kind of girl who you could go away with and basically have the time of your life. Does anyone else already follow Lucias blog? If she interests you there is a link at the top of her blog to her tumblr, instagram and twitter :)

Today is quite frankly a shit day. Sorry for the abrupt start to this post but once again I have been made redundant!! Can you believe it? Being made redundant twice in three months has got to be some sort of record right? I was told the news yesterday and am not quite sure how I feel about it yet; on one hand its a push for me to go and do something that I actually want to spend my life doing but on the other hand it's scary to think I have 4 weeks to find something else or i'm going to be completely buggered!

On a more positive note look at this top I found on eBay for 99p! It's pretty much the same as the little lace crops they're doing in Topshop at the moment except it's slightly more grunge and a complete bargain! I've teamed it with my lovely new shoes from Office which cost me quite a lot of money (i've never spent £70 on shoes before!) As you might be able to tell i'm a complete bargain hunter and it took a good few weeks of searching eBay for some cheap copies, before I decided none quite fit the bill and I should just buy them! Do any of you guys have these shoes and love them as much as I do? Also if you have any ideas of anywhere I can apply for a part time job in Bristol, you know hook a sister up!

Favourite Jumper

Jumper - New Look

Shirt - Zara

Skirt - Topshop

Creepers - eBay

Bag - Accessorize 

This is my favourite outfit from last week, I am completely in love with this jumper! I love the colour and it's so comfortable! In Winter I can't get enough of bottle green, burgundy and navy and just keep buying clothes in those three colours! I have bought a few things lately so I will post a mini haul on what i've been buying! These pictures were taken by Lucia from Style Confessional who some of you will know as the latest Motel intern! It's so much harder to blog in the Winter because by the time you get home from work it's dark and days off are usually spent in pjs! So we decided that on Fridays along with Selina we will take some outfit posts in and around the centre of Bristol. 

I've tried to invite all of the South West bloggers to a discount event i'm holding at the store this week! I'm really looking forward to it because it's the first event we've done; there will be 30% off everything as well as some special items i've ordered in just for the night, along with presents, cupcakes and the chance to have some nail art done! Let's hope it's a success - i'm getting a bit scared now! 

Today is so Christmassy! I bought my first Christmas present yesterday (yes I know it's getting late!) I won't say what it is because my friend Abbie will probably read this but it's a good one! I am so festive this year, in fact it's probably getting on peoples nerves but if you live in Bristol come into the shop and see my decorations and listen to the Christmas songs - it is just not getting boring!

This weekend was a really good one, had a great Saturday night out for my brothers birthday and generally felt horrible yesterday! I wore the Elsa dress and was surprised by how much I loved it, I don't usually wear body con because i'm really self conscious of being such a pear shape, but I had lots of lovely compliments and in the end didn't think it looked too bad! 

This week i'm back to working Wednesday- Saturday so have today and tomorrow to do some outfit posts. This evening i'm going to Milton Keynes to the indoor ski place. I've never been skiing before and I am a little bit scared, but after booking a skiing holiday in March I need to learn!

This outfit was from yesterday and makes me look about 12 years old, clearly my bra is not fitting well in the picture either haha embarrassing! I love this jumper from Topshop and have just worn it over my vintage denim shirt and teamed with some tights and the standard H&M body con skirt - lifesaver!

Hope everyone is having a nice day, i'm just sat in my pj's watching 'This Morning' and drinking a lot of orange juice!!
