Had a pretty eventful week since finishing my exams on Thursday, it was followed by our Leavers Ball, a birthday barbeque and the obligatory 'i-have-no-holiday-clothes' panic. Just finished packing for Cyprus tomorrow, where 53 members of my year group are accompanying me for a week. Yes, 53.

Having a luggage panic, looks like I'm wearing 2 pairs of shoes to the airport tomorrow. And trying to work out what to do with my millions of liquids. Happy holidays everyone! Have a safe trip, see y'all in a week! x

ahh too many liquids; the BIG asos box; I'm on a mug!

Plus thank you so much for the fake tan tips - everything worked out splendidly with exfoliation, mits and moisturiser!

nb: this is actually my second fake instagram post. I started on 00. huh.

A Touch of Fluro

h&m floral dress £4, brothers cream blazer, black satchel bag h&m via charity shop £2.50, asos hippie charm neon necklace £1.50, new look suede moccasins £25 

This dress was a steal from H&M online - long delivery, but when you get 4 items for £11 it's so worth it! 

Break from revision to get a Sicilian lemonade frappichino from Caffe Nero. So glad that the  sunny weather has hit me on a week offff from exams! Working on my tan as it is currently non-existant (not for long hehe). Shout out to the lovely lasses, Izzy and Phoebe who visited me today for sun, pizza and ice lollies. And to my boyfriend, I'm very proud of my trainee photographer :) Even though he may not be the best apprentice!

Good news: lots of shorts coming to my shop soon! Let summer commence

Pinking about the tulips

revlon matte lipstick in pink about it ebay £3, accessorize necklace £12 £3, ebay floral trousers £2, asos crop top £9


Mannnn this has been an embarassingly long abscence. Mock exams blablabla camera problems blablabla life blablabla. And I return and give you what? Phone photos.*
Anyway I can't find a spike necklace I can afford so I got this in the sales :)
I also can't find floral trousers I can afford therefore I scoured eBay and found these. SO COMFY. However, looking at these H&M lovelies now, see here and here only £12.99!
Got some results today. Pretty pleased with myself, therefore, maybe more floral trousers in my life! 


Probably the "trendiest" thing right now - anyone else going to indulge in some key blogger pieces?

Black Cherry Cross

velvet charity shop leggings £3.50, asos jersey top £9, topman cross necklace £10 £3, topshop ring, river island blouse £25 £12, revlon super lustrous lipstick in black cherry

Happy belated New Year! Went to the O2 arena for NYE, saw Chase & Status, Zane Lowe and Kasabian with the boyfriend. Needless to say, it was amazing. My favourite part was when we counted down twice because they forgot to release the confetti and balloons the first time...

Didn't do a "gift" post despite my curious nature tending to enjoy them, but I did receive the ring and lipstick for Christmas. And Revlon Colorstay foundation, which I will highly recommend to anyone. This is also an "Xmas sales" post, went to Oxford Street (not Boxing Day or Christmas Eve, already made both those mistakes) but had to look at man shops all day. Sigh.

Now please someone help me prioritise, I have an exam on Friday the 13th and I've managed to watch 3 seasons of Scrubs in a week (I realised what I'd been missing out on).

See y'all, check out the shop

The Orange Paper Hat

cutout shoulder red dress vero moda @ asos £24 £16.50, topshop ring, fashionistA magnetic nail polish in frankie
Merry Boxing day Boxing day!* I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and that you've awoken from various food comas. My parents banned me from eating my 4th mini Christmas dinner today. It was sad. Anyway, instead of listing gifts (both the nail polish- which chips like crazy -and ring were gifts though) I'll list what we ate. So I can relive the deliciousness which is Christmas food.
Starter: Gravlax - cold cured salmon (which I cured myself!) with a creamy horseradish sauce and capersMain: Roast turkey, pigs in a blanket, stuffing, sage & onion sausage meat, almond & marzipan sausage meat, brussel sprouts, slightly charred parsnips, roast potatoes all smothered in gravy and served with bread sauce & cranberry jelly. MmmmDessert: White chocolate cheese cake, Christmas pudding
Yes Christmas lunch is quite the (delayed) occasion at my house. Looking forward to turkey soup & sandwiches. Anyway, I've got to go and drain my cinnamon & gingerbread syrup. Originally meant to be gingerbread, but got a bit excited with the cinnamon sticks... I'll leave you with my favourite Christmas tree decoration, this adorable owl.

*For Americans, that's the British name for the day after Christmas when you give presents to your servants, post men etc. This year my servants (aka my three brothers) got their presents on the day. Lucky beggars

Aimlessly wandering towards blue

missguided high waisted leggings via ebay £3, charity shop faux fur coat £10, charity shop blouse £2, asos jewelry, isobel kho canvas tote, topshop boots £7

A very quick outfit post, not the best photos but it rained all day and my boyfriend, bless him, is still learning how to use the 'big' camera. I'm wearing some missguided leggings I had on my xmas list then came across by chance on ebay, which I've actually had to break in. First time I've had to break in a pair of leggings...

Loving all things penguin related: I want this canvas penguin print bag from Isobel Kho, and this animal onesie (or kigurumi). Or someone start breeding me a micropenguin in preparation for my birthday. Preferably looking like this

Awww. Hope you're having a very merry lead up to Christmas

Dress to the point

white lace dress dorothy perkins via charity shop £3, primark pleather jacket £10, asos necklace £2, ebay black bag £3

• So I'm not a little black dress kind of girl... I like dresses like this
• How incredibly dodgy is this lighting? As much as I would like to fix it when taking photos, I've noticed the autofocus on my camera is rubbish on any setting which isn't "automatic". And I missed the warranty for my broken lens gahhh.
• Anyway, everything is good, just sitting and waiting for term to be over and for Christmas to hit me. Seriously. WHERE IS IT? C'est une bonne question.

Fact Rant:

• I just booked my summer holiday (AYIA NAPA 2K12*).
• Listening to GString by SomethingALaMode
• Got offers from three unis :)
• Bought a glittery blackberry case like this muhahahaha
• Buy from my shop

See y'all

**Awkz that I intially posted this with the draft title "dress". Self explanatory and straight to the point, essentially blunt, which is what I'm famous for in the real world. Ohhh the irony

Leather in cold light

both: jaeger charity shop green blazer £5, charity shop leather skirt £6, gift necklace

day: floral urban outfitters top £10, new look moccassins £25 

night: leopard sheer top charity shop £5, asos boots £37

Wore this skirt twice on the weekend because I'm a lazy girl and its nice. So its a day2nite thing! Anyway you're meant to take notice of my new shoes, which I bought in the flash Asos sale a few weeks ago down from £75 - they're back up again! I removed the ridiculous gingham laces and they are, for now, laceless.

I say goodbye to you sitting in an awkward position, a result of walking 100km with a 20kg rucksack. Should probably complete my UCAS or something, but I think I'll trawl through ebay instead. Seee ya

^Meaningful look. Go shop. Proper winter shop update coming soon!

Indian Summer

leopard h&m wedges £8, ebay shorts £1, asos top £6, charity shop bag £1, asos necklace £3, vintage sunglasses

So today was the final day of the temporary "indian summer", barely scraping that at 21C. What's new? Had an all day English lecture and now by mind is riddled with pastoral idylls and other awful concepts. Off to clear my head of such nonsense with some TOWIE and Made in Chelsea. Ohhhh structured reality shows, you entertain me so with your awkward pauses, awful acting and magically disappearing drinks. Here's a photo of a nice passionflower from the garden. Stunning right?

Some lovely Topshop suede shorts to be found...
