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!!

203. My 'go to' lazy day outfit

Necklace:  H&M

Jumper:  Vintage

Jeans:  New Look (Parisian range)

Boots:  New Look

 

Hey lovers,

 

Friday is here and as I went out last night with some friends I was feeling a lazy day was needed, however I did need to pop into uni to get my results. Therefore I opted for my 'go to' outfit when I am feeling lazy but still want to look stylish and I thought I would show you. I don't often wear jeans but they are the ultimate lazy-day bottoms (not before pj bottoms, of course!) for a day like today and these jeans are super comfy! I also chucked on my slightly oversized jumper and was good to go! I then added my gold chain necklace for a little detail and my ankle boots from New Look, which as you can see are well worn as they are so easy to walk in and give me a little extra height!

 

I also put together a little video for you guys, feeling creative today!

 

 



 

202. It's a funny sort of day

Hey there beauties!

 

Today I went for a little shopping spree with my Mum and my Nan and Grandad. We popped to B&M as we had never been before and I had seen the perfect bedside tables for my new room (more news on that soon!), so we thought we would explore! It is absolutely amazing in there, like The Range but cheaper! And I do love The Range. If you haven't been or heard of it already then check out the website here. The only downside is that you cannot order online which is a little annoying, so use the search bar to see if there is a store near you :)

 

Anyway, I was feeling rather casual but classic today and this is what I came up with. I usually always tuck in shirts or blouses into my bottoms as I think I look bigger than I am if I leave them hanging out (which is not good mixed with my short 5 foot height!), but I felt it kind of worked today. I have had these jeans for absolute jeans! Since I started working at New Look, which is over 5 years ago, so they are extremely old but I still love them! I thought I would add a little detail with my gold collar clips that I made using a pair of vintage earrings and a gold chain to attach. I still have plenty of earring left over so I will be selling them very soon on my Etsy store :) Lastly I finished with my white pointed shoes which have a low heel to give my outfit a classic, sophisticated look, and of course my vintage coat which I can not stop wearing!!

 

I don't know about you guys and where you live but the weather is really horrible at the moment! It's so muggy at hot, it's a job to know weather to even bother with a coat or not! I jolly hope the sun makes an appearance soon, I'm getting fed up of not knowing what to wear! ;)

201. That Fairy Feeling

Headband:  Crown and Glory

Jumper:  Charity Shop

Belt:  New Look

Shorts:  Charity Shop

Boots:  New Look

 

Hello lovelies,

 

Today I felt rather girly and fairy-like when I opted for this outfit. I bought these shorts from a charity shop last summer and had yet to wear them so I decided today would be the day! I have since come to the conclusion that these shorts are supposed to be pj bottoms but I'll still wear them as I think they look really sweet all the same and work nicely with this lilac jumper which I also thrifted. I also think they would look really cute with a little cami top too. 

 

As I was feeling 'fairy-like' it only seemed right that I wear my first and only Crown and Glory headband, which my chummie Paige gifted to me. I absolutely love the Crown and Glory range. Everything is so pretty and girly, I wish I could just buy it all! I'm going to have to add to my collection very soon, I cannot resist any longer! Especially the headbands as they are just perfect for the summer days (which we are yet to see!). If you haven't checked out their website then please do, it is full of such wonderful pieces from headbands to bows and much, much more! http://crownandglory.bigcartel.com/

 



Charity Shop Haul

Hello beauties,

 

Last Thursday I went charity shopping with two of my friends and we found a whole bunch of goodies, so much so that I thought I would share them with you. We went to Cosham, Fareham and Eastleigh; all of which are amazing for charity shops. I always find atleast one thing when shopping in each of these places so you can imagine me and my friends having a feild day when we went to all three in one day!

 

Anyway, here is a little look at everything I bought on the day from my Instagram and a little video at the end too when I go through each item in more detail :)

 

I hope you like what I bought!

Hello sweeties,

 

Long time no see, again! I thought I'd take a few snaps of my outfit in my new set up. What do you think? I decided to put them all in black and white because I still haven't seen able to decorate yet! So the walls are a lovely shade of bright blue and lime green...why would I decorate? I hear you say...

 

Anyway, it's only a short post today but I hope you like the images :)

197. That Spring smile...

Blouse:  Charity Shop Collar Clips/Clip-on earrings:  Charity Shop Necklace:  Gift Belt:  Vintage Skirt:  Vintage Shop in Paris  

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 :)

 

 

195. Neon ramblings

Jumper:  Marks & Spencer

Belt:  Vintage

Skirt:  New Look (Last year!)

 

Hello lovelies!

 

I thought I would take the time out today to do a little outfit post. Now, the weather has been absolutely horrid outside and as you all know I pretty much always take my outfit photos outside, so taking photos  has proven to be difficult lately, as well as a mass amount of uni work that needs to be done! My house doesn't have any blank walls for me to take photos against and my room is the size of a small box, hence why these photos are not full length. However, I have good news!! As my brother has now officially moved out (despite still leaving a mountain of bags behind...) I can now move into his old bedroom!! His room is double the size of mine and I will finally be able to have a double bed!! (Super exciting when you're nearly 22 and have lived in the same tiny room all your life!).

 

I am soo excited to move in as I will now be able to have a 'lookbook wall' as I like to call it because I will have enough room to take full length photos and the light in my brothers (old) room is really good AND I will be able to take photos whatever the weather. Now, you may be thinking 'why haven't you taken photos in there yet?? Get in there!!' well, the walls are...wait for it...lime green and blue :| Soooo not the best background for taking outfit photos against I think you'll agree! I do plan on decorating, obviously, and I will be painting the walls a fresh lick of white paint to give a nice base background. Having said that I have told myself I cannot decorate until I do a substantial amount of work! So, fingers crossed I will be decorating in around 2 weeks time and will have a lovely background for my outfit photos :D

 

Ahh, sorry for the long ramble about decorating and 'lookbook walls' but I thought I would share this amazing news with you as I am really excited and I think it will give my blog a fresh feel about it too. Oh and as you can see I now have a remote to take my photos with. This has been a long time coming and I finally found a cheap one that was compatible with my camera and it works like a charm! No longer will I be running back and forth like a loony too and from my camera. So anyway, that's  enough rambling for one day! I hope you're all having a lovely week. Wish me luck on getting lots of work done and being able to decorate my new room!!

Hello beauties!

 

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, uni work has taken over my life yet again! I promice I will blog as much as I can :)

 

This is what I wore today. Seeing as it is the 1st of March I was feeling quite Spring-like when I put this outfit together and I really like the outcome. I think it's just really fun and playful :) I also had a visit from my lovely friend Paige who I haven't seen in forever!! It was so great to see her and have a good old chin wag again because we are literally on the same page and are so similar so it's lovely to be able to relate to someone that much :)

 

I hope you've all had a lovely week and are looking forward to Spring, not long to go!!
