These photos required a lot of awkward tourist queing to get one of each letter, but worth it so I could make this GIF :) The boy in the turquoise shorts - that's my boyfriend of three years, not a random stalker.
In recent events, A Level results day went surprisingly well, and I got my first choice uni :) Hope it went great for everyone else too x

Amsterdam: View from a bridge





















topshop tunic £22, asos brown leather "flutter" sandals £9, old denim jacket & belt, charity shop brown leather satchel £4, miss selfridge silver collar £3.25

Some outfit photos from the first day of Amsterdam - I think I'm in love. The general vibe is very casual, chilled and the people trendy. I was surprised by the canal network - I'd thought that there was one "famous" bridge but turns out there are hundreds, ha. On Day 1 we started off learning the way of the trams, finding our hotel (slightly outside the city) followed by a light evening wander, where we found the beautiful Vondelpark. Turns out the Dutch eat early, but we luckily managed to find a pizza/pasta place. Expect more...

Shop the eBay shop. I'm feeling VERY out of pocket.

Oh and I think these sandals are a very good alternative to the Topshop "Jesus" sandals - and half the price.
