Hey beauts!

 

It's been such a busy week with starting my internship at I Heart Studios in London - it's been amazing so far! I can't wait to tell you all about it! I will be working there 3 days a week as I work weekends so Thursdays and Fridays will be my day off and luckily my boyfriend was off work too so we got to spend the day together!

First thing is first, I got woken up at 8am this morning with a lovely surprise fry up made by my boyfriend (a little early for my day off but I'll let it go :P) and it was delicious! Breakfast in bed cooked for you, what more could you want?! We then ended up falling back asleep and waking up at 11am! It was so lovely to just laze about for the morning as we haven't seen each other properly in 3 days, despite living together!!

 

We then headed to Winchester as I needed to drop of my collection at uni for a final fashion show. It was such a glorious day and was so warm! We stopped off at Pitcher and Piano for a late lunch and oh my, it was amazing!! I had a chicken, bacon and brie salad with sautéed potato's, spinach and a honey and mustard dressing. If you ever go to Pitcher and Piano you have to try this, it was phenomenal! After that we did a little shopping and browsing around Winchester and then headed back home. It may not sound like an amazing day, but for me it's the little things and today was just perfect :)

Lastly onto the outfit. I bought these shoes from New Look at the weekend. They're Limited Edition, and I love anything from that range usually! Not because it's 'limited' but because it seems to fit my style quite well. I just saw these shoes and fell in love with the awkward, and possibly ugly, look of them. However I have to say they look so much better on than they do off. A few people at work thought I was mad buying these! Haha I worked around the shoes for my outfit today layering a crop top over my favourite playsuit, and I think it works quite well. Add in a belt to nip in at the waist and a pair of pop socks and oversized sunnies and you're good to go!

I hope you've all had a glorious day too!!

197. That Spring smile...

Evening lovelies,

 

Here is today's look, rather fresh and Spring-like I feel :) I put this outfit together on a whim this morning and have actually fallen in love with it as it's so light and fresh and makes me dream of Spring (which should infact be here by now!!). I added the collar clips (clip-on earrings) on the tips of the collar on the blouse for detail as it matched one of the blue/green shades in the skirt. I often buy clip-on earrings from charity shops and use them as collar clips for a touch of detail. I have also sold a few which are attached by a chain and hopefully I will be putting more up for sale soon if anyone is interested?

 

I also love this sewing machine necklace which my Mum bought me for Christmas last year. It is so relevant to my life and my passion and I dream of owning a real vintage Singer sewing machine one day!

 

Anyway, I hope you guys like my outfit for today. I have a slightly different post planned for tomorrow so stay tuned for that :)

 

 

Having a hard time.

Hey lovelies! Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I have been crazy busy with uni work recently leading up to my crit, but I had that yesterday and everything went really well. My beautiful model and friend, Charlotte, came and modelled the outfit for me and it fit perfectly! My tutor even thought that I had made it for Charlotte because it fit so well. To say I was pleased would be an understatement. I also got given my brief for my pre-collection, which I have to create my own brief, but I'll explain more of that on my other blog fashion-interval later on today.

 

Lately my emotions have been very up and down, probably due to the stresses of university, constantly being tired and family troubles going on lately, but I won't go into details. All I know is, I could not do it all without my wonderful boyfriend sticking by me, dispite living an hour away, and my amazing friends always being there to cheer me up. I realise I am so lucky to have such great friends who I know will always be there for me in a second :)

 

But anyway, enough of my emotional ramblings. The reason for this post is that with all the stresses going on at the moment I find that I just chuck on my outfits in the morning. This is very out of character for me as I always take my time to choose what I am going to wear each day, sometimes I even plan what I will wear the night before! In the last 2 weeks I have noticed and started to pull myself together, however it is hard when you're waking up at the crack of dawn each morning and not going to bed 'till midnight each night. Does anyone else have this problem recently? And what tips do you have to stay stylish and on trend when your lifestyle is so busy? Any tips and advice would be much appreciated! Sometimes I think it's because I have so many clothes that I just don't have the time to rumage through it all! Well, today I will be ebaying some clothes that I just don't wear so I will do a post about that later. You never know, you may find something that you like :)
