Born in the USA

Firstly, I apologies for the outfits in a mirror malarkey... I was in London, and definitely didn't want to take my tripod with me, I suppose I could have asked my mother to be photographer, but that would have been too sensible of me :)  

Shirt: Batoko
Neck Tie: Bootsale
Shorts: River Island
Coat: Topshop (via Ebay)

Loved this outfit.. this shirt is the best thing ever, and pairing it with the cute little neck tie was an awesome idea even if I do say so myself! 

So London was awesome! Although Oxford Street is SO monotonous, literally about every 5 shops was a Russell and Bromley, River Island, H&M, New Look or Next. Bit of variety would have been nice. Wasn't very impressed with Forever 21, the jewellery online is AMAZING, but they just didn't have the same collection in store. I went into Selfridges, wanted to buy myself a gorgeous designer purse, but nothing caught my eye, and when your gonna spent a heap of money on one thing you want it to be amazing don't you, so ended up with a £10 Topshop purse! 

Spitalfields Market was awesome, especially the cute shops around that area, much more exiting than the highstreet! Wish the market had more stalls though, but I'm guessing it comes alive on the weekends! I drank a whiskey at 11am so that was a first for me lol! 

Oh and if anyone is wondering how my Veneers consultation went.. It was AWESOME! I'm all booked up and ready to go! I'm doing 2 weeks of home whitening starting tomorrow then I'm booked in for temporary veneers 13th February and then the REAL THING on the 27th of February! Really cannot wait for my new smile :D I'm thinking of taking a picture of my teeth everyday through the whitening process so I'll be sure to have a blogpost on that soon! Should be pretty fun! 

Umm, don't think I have anything else to say... I've just finished my Essay for hand in tomorrow, so nice and relieved now, just an exam on Tuesday and then I'm done for a few weeks! YAY! 

Oh and I'll show you all what I bought in London.. will probably be my next blog post! Have a good weekend :)

These were once practically every bloggers dream! lol! Theres so many wannabe lita's around now, makes me rather angry that I bought them.. and I sooooo wish I got them in black! *If only I could tuuurn back timme!* I would buy the wannabe lita's in black, but coz I got the real thing I don't think I could own any wannabe's, if you know what I mean lol! 

Ultimate Best Bargain

OCTOBER 

H&M Fur stole.. another blogger favourite! It's so soft and pretty and I got it for super cheap :D 

Ultimate Favourite Nails

SEPTEMBER 

It's funny coz I didn't like these that much when I had it on, but the picture is so lush! 

Ultimate Biggest Lust

SEPTEMBER

I talked about a coat I'd seen that was no longer online, and I couldn't afford it and it was gorgeous blah blah... I finally got it in December woohoooo! 

Bought from Topshop via the wonderful world of Ebay... I've wanted a fur coat like this for years, but never wanted to spend the money, kept thinking they would go out of fashion... but nope I have faith that I will be wearing this same coat when I'm 80 lol! 

Ultimate Planning on Buying

Out of everything I planned on buying.. I actually only bought about 2 things! The biggest thing I'm planning on buying is a brand new smile... consultation is in ten days wooohooo!! 

Ultimate Favourite Picture

Aww.. all the blogger girlies :) Had a wonderful day with them.. and I need to go to more meets in 2012! I need to be more organised and book things off work straight away so I stop missing out! 

Ultimate Favourite Blog Posts

I've looked back through my whole blog and picked my favourite posts! Most are on this side of September.. that's when my blog started to become (in my opinion) a lot better, with outfit posts becoming a lot less sparse and a whole lot better :)  although, lately I've been posting a lot less than I am happy with! This must change :)

Living life to the full! 

Paying off all my debt not including my student debt lol or the debt that my teeth are gonna cost me!

Well thats it, wish I done this post last night so I could say that this is the last post for this year! lol! 

I want to thank every single reader and follower for sticking with me throughout this year.. looking back at the beginning of this blog I don't know how I had any followers at all haha!! I feel 'The Deer Head' really started to grow when I changed the name from 'Arms around a Memory' or whatever it was called, I can't even remember now lol, it was a shit name. If any non-bloggers are reading I advise you MASSIVELY to think about your name for a good while before you take the plunge and start a blog! I enjoy blogging a lot more now than when I started, I felt a lot of pressure to look good, do the 'right' posts, blah blah.. now I feel a lot more comfortable about what I say, post, what pictures I use etc etc! 

Anyways, hope you all have a brilliant 2012!  

Ways to wear...

Hi Guys.. I've been lacking on the ol' blogging front lately.. My week has consisted of working and sleeping! The main thing that sucks is I'm going from work straight to Uni or from Uni straight to work.. so have literally no time for outfit posts! I'm hoping to do one today though as I have a day off :D

I've been dying to blog all week, but have been lacking in inspiration and to be honest I just couldn't keep my eyes open for long enough to come up with something thats worth blogging about! 

I've fallen in love with the most simple Tee from River Island.. and before I commit to buying online I normally try and make a few possible outfits on polyvore to see if I really need any more new clothes! I've come to the conclusion that on payday I shall be buying this top (even though I could probably DIY my own)

LOOK 1

Blazer: Topshop. Top: River Island. Hat: ASOS. Tights: Topshop
Shoes: Topshop

You don't believe how in love with this look I am.. I literally need every item!! The skirt is unbelievably gorgeous... I will hopefully be buying this too!! I want to be wearing this right now!! I think this look could be worn casually, or even to wear somewhere you need to dress smarter. 

LOOK 2

Coat: Topshop. Top: River Island. Jeans: River Island. Hat: H&M. Boots: River Island.

Ok.. I want everything in this look too.. Arghh I regret doing this.. gonna be skint come payday haha! This is like the perfect Autumn/Winter outfit.. just add some leather gloves! 

LOOK 3

Earrings/Ring: Regal Rose. Top: River Island. Shoes: River Island. Skirt: River Island. Tights: Henry Holland. 

This is a night out look that I'm sooo in love with! I think if you wore this on a night out you would really stand out, as it's not your typical night out outfit! This outfit is rock chick with a cool edge... I think it screams awesome without too much effort!
