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.

Vernal Equinox







pointed flats £15 h&m, navy chunky cardi £8 primark kids, leggings £2 charity shop, rope & chain necklace £3 primark, sheer floral shirt £2 ebay, cat eye sunglasses £3 claires, vintage satchel £4 charity shop

Pretty simple outfit for UK Mother's Day. These are my witchy pointed shoes which make my feet very long in comparison to my body. I have body:feet ratio problems.
FIRST SUNGLASSES OF THE YEAR! Doing things oddly, I already had Pimm's in February and went out without a coat in March. England's a bit confused at the moment.

  • 18 in less than a month woooo
  • Visiting Bristol for a uni open day, really hoping I'll like it
  • Waiting for the UK release of Revlon Lip Butters! Been saving up my advantage card points for this very reason. Incidentally, there was a hair in my Smoked Salmon & Potato Salad from Boots today. Went straight back to the shop in utter disgust. This happened to me at McDonalds last week too, I seem to be attracting lost hairs GROSS.
  • Shop stocked up very soon!
Mother's day flowers:





















I seem to frequently end with flower photos. I hope you like x Happy Vernal Equinox!

And I feel so bohemian like you



How beautifully wonderful is this necklace? I've never seen silver, gold and grey forced together so harmoniously... Hence it was perfect on bringing together the gold buttoned skirt and grey top. I received it from Sarah at Lushae nearly a month ago, but I knew I had to wait for the perfect summer's day to bring it out. I had to pick from all the designs there, and there were some fantastic rings (this one, appeared on that girl lucys blog), so it took me a long long time to choose, sorry! But definitely worth the wait, don't you think?

So these are my slightly cat-eye sunglasses. They're not the pointed ones I wanted, but I still love them, and for £1.. Well, enough said. I bought two. Because I break things. I don't normally wear my hair up, (I look like a boy) but it was verging on 30 degrees, so rules had to be broken. Hopefully I'll have tanned a bit..
And maybe you can't tell, maybe you can, but these are phone photos, hence the dodgy editing. But I like yellow, it means summer.

OH YEAH, exams are over!
Bring on work experience.
And "Bohemian Like You - The Dandy Warhols" is a great summer track.
hi to my gorgeous friend, who shall not be named. enjoy my ex v-sista

Just smoke one cigarette and hush

ebay red and white spot sheer blouse, vintage satchel, h&m dance leggings and sunglasses, charity shop wedges, random pearls

Not going to lie: when I recieved this spotty blouse, I automatically reached for my Levi cut-offs. It took great self restraint to unbutton them and repace them with these shiny dance leggings (in the photos they are deceivingly matt) - I seriously overwear my Levi's. You just can't go wrong with them... ANYWAY, these are my first pair of wedges, from a charity shop. I need serious practice in them. Serious practice. I actually find them harder to walk in than normal heels... weird.

Goodbye for now, ONLY 3 MORE EXAMS TO GO! Freedom is so close.

Faster than the setting sun, we'll run








So I've begun with the beautiful day sky.

And I shall end with this beautiful setting sun.

This is an outfit from a long time ago, before these tights were laddered beyond use. This day was the start of summer, and I celebrated with a picnic with crab sandwiches, kettle chips and KitKats. Not forgetting the pineapple && coconut juice. I look back on that time with envy. I wasn't too keen on the photos, but they are of a happy time.
Still, TRUE BLOOD SEASON 3 SOON!

P.S. STEFAN OR DAMON?

Damn you pictures, why won't you align?

A decade in the dark taking part in a dream


vintage red skirt, belt && bag, ebay sheer blouse, primark tights and top, new look boots, topshop socks, old necklace

I love love love my Ebay sheer blouse. Why pay £20 at H&M when you can pay £2.50? Its ideal for summer layering.

And so, this is me at the car boot sale.. I was looking for an oversize pattern cardigan, these are the two I found (for your amusement), but waaay to oversize for my shortness: they say there's a limit. Got two new necklaces - I can't help it, I have an obsession - a tee which I've already chopped, bag and some standard knitwear. I'll be back there in two weeks.

Also, curse my feet. Stupid size.
And Biology papers. A paper cut per exam.

I'm the bird of prey

Hi. I am SO disappointed. It snowed, but within 10minutes it had turned to a murky grey slush.. I had time for one quick snowball fight, then the transformation occured. Ugh. London. And I'm facing a whole holiday of revision for my trial exams...
^Somethings majorly wrong with my face here..
How great is H&M kids? In fact two items which I'm wearing are from there. Underneath (you can't see) is a two tone bodycon dress, and this t-shirt was £3!
Gotta admit, I'm quite proud of this rapid hair styling! Plait chunk of hair on the lesser side of the side parting, flip over like a hair band, secure, straighten layers underneath. All in 5minutes!

vintage levi jacket, H&M kids t-shirt and bodycon dress, carboot sale desert boots, vintage bag and scarf

P.S. This will be the last time I post before the big day, so HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! (but I'll still be checking our your blogs!)

Red and purple lipstick all over the page

Any ideas as to where I should apply for work experience in London? My first application was rejected. Ugh. Something about university people getting priority? Ugh ugh ugh. I'll cheer myself up by talking about my new (but very old) winter coat..

hype?

I actually wanted an vintage American Football jacket last year, when I saw one in Beyond Retro, but decided against it (as it was £30 and I wouldn't wear it much due to difficult colours), and I'm glad I didn't. I picked this one up from a car boot sale for only £4! It was in really bad quality though, the lining was moth eaten and stained. Easily fixed by a seamstress!

&&& YAY I have 20 followers now! Thank you so much! My blogs date back to miles ago, but as you can see I only got round to posting once per month. That time is over. I'm hopefully back for good.
