75. It's always darkest before the dawn.





Blazer:  H&M
Top:  H&M
Skirt:  New Look
Shoes:  New Look

This is what I wore yesterday. I bought this blazer a long while ago now in the H&M sale and I've been wanting to do an outfit post with it for ages but I could never find the right outfit, but I think this one really works well. I decided to pair it with a bodycon skirt, black tights and ankle boots and finally my Nirvana top to make the look a little less formal and more casual. Now that I know what kind of things go with this blazer I think I'll be wearing it a lot more, which is good because I do love it!

In other news I got a double rail for my room today because I can't fit anymore clothes in my wardrobe and I'm fed up of having piles of clothes lying around my room! It will also be nice to dig out some old clothes that have got lost in the back of my wardrobe.

Hope everyone has had a good week, have a great weekend!

Jumper:  New Look
Skirt:  DIY, Self Made
Shoes:  New Look


This is what I wore yesterday. I love this cute little baby pink jumper I bought from New Look a couple of days ago. It's so soft and comfy and I thought it went really well with my plum coloured skirt and boots.

I'm only doing a little post today I'm afraid, but more outfit posts will be up in the next few days because I have this week off uni!

Have a good Wednesday! :)

Oh my goodness it has been so long! Too long! I have had so much uni work on recently, as I've said before, but I had my crit for my project yesterday so today I've been relaxing and was able to take a photo of my outfit and have a catch up with my friends. I have next week off uni too (although I still have to do uni work) so there will be alot more outfit posts of new items I have bought and new outfits I have put together recently so keep your eyes peeled! And I will upload a photo of my Men's jacket that I made for my project to show you all :) It's also hard to take photo's recently because my the time I get home from uni it's hard outside!! But anyway, I haven't gone anywhere! I am still here and I am back to blog!

Where has the time gone?

Oh my goodness! I cannot believe it has been a week since my last post! I am so sorry I haven't been blogging, but as I mentioned before, the uni work is pilling up and deadlines are looming!! I've got one week to finish it all, god knows how I'm going to do it :/

Anyway, at the end of next week I should be back with outfit posts, tutorials and wish lists to fill my blog up again! I just wanted to write a short post to appologise for the lack of posts but I will be back, I promise!

Hope you are all well! I am still reading all of your lovely blogs, you are all so inspiring that I cannot wait to blog again! Have a good weekend :)

Versace for H&M


I heard about the new Versace range for H&M today and thought I'd share it with you lovely bloggers because they have some amazing items on the website. H&M have done a lot of collaborations with designers which I think is really good because it kind of closes the gap between high-street and designer and gets everyone excited because they can buy some designers clothes cheaper!

If you haven't already seen this yet then go on the H&M website here now! I really feel there is something for everyone in this collection. Versace have done two opposites really, one half of the collection is full of bright colours and bright, crazy prints and the other half is much more simplistic yet sexy with the black and silver colours and the use of leather and studs playing a huge part.

Here are just of the few images from the photo shoot that you initially see, however once you click on the images you can then click to see the whole collection.








So what do you think? I really love the black collection and the use of the studs. The collection goes on sale on the 17th November online and instore at 9:00am so don't miss out!!

72. We found love in a hopeless place






Blouse:  New Look
Shorts:  DIY, Self Made
Tights:  Primark
Shoes:  New Look

This is what I wore yesterday. I've got a bit of a different background going on aswell because I was up in Farnham to see my boyfriend so he took the photo's for me :) I made these shorts the night before and I think they turned out really well, I really love them! I paired it with my cream blouse with the black ribbon detail and peter pan collar, sheer tights and ankle boots because the weather is still up and down.

I also have to mention that I am really busy with uni work at the moment so I appologise if I don't blog much for the next two weeks. I'm going to try my best to keep up but it'll probably only be a few outfit posts every now and then, but we'll see. I have two men's jackets to make and a belt and braces to make along with all the sketchbook work and illustrations to go with them. Ergh, what have I been doing with myself the last few weeks?!

Help Save Goldhawk Road!


I recently discovered that there are plans to close down Goldhawk Road in London and get rid of all the lovely fabric shops down there and all of the other shops too. This road is literally mine and many more people's saviour when buying fabric for uni work etc.

If you would like to help save this road and help the shops stay put then please sign the petition below and spread the word. We need as many people as possible to back this petition, it means a lot to so many people. You don't have to pay and you can even link it to your facebook account to spread the word quicker.

'The Goldhawk Road shops and Shepherds Bush Market is the glue that holds our unique and diverse community together. They are one of the last bastions of working class heritage remaining in London'.

Thank you for your support, hopefully we can all help to save Goldhawk Road.
