Dam Square (please remember to check out!)









ebay shorts £1, primark plimsolls £1, charity shop top £1, miss selfridge collar necklace £3, claires sunglasses £3, random belt
[bf: primark shorts £11, asda sunglasses & river island sleeveless tee £9]

Don't think I'll ever forget the voice of the tram repeating "Dam Square" every time we passed it (hence the weird post title hehe). The trams definitely played a part in my falling in love of the city, they seemed so much calmer than hectic London buses & tubes. Incidentally we witnessed a tram crash, which ended up becoming a mothers meeting for the policemen ;)

Stocked nearly nineteen items on eBay, it's clearout time! Go take a peek

Baseball Daze






asos brown leather sandals £20 £9, levi 501 cut offs via rokit £10, topman tee via charity shop £3, topman triangle necklace £2, h&m satchel via charity shop £2.50

Just an outfit I don't even have to think about wearing, just add tights for warmth.
Had an amazing girly holiday in Valencia, mixing up chilling on the terrace, exploring the city and "partying" by the beach. And my second post will be the incredible car boot sale finds at Battersea Boot sale. It was my first time at Battersea, and it was just incredible. Anyway, happy Monday everyone :)

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.

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

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!

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

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*).
  • 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

There's rust around the things l love






charity shop tweed coat £7.50, leather h&m trousers £15, ebay leather rucksack £10, topman necklace £1, topshop boots £7, rimmel lipstick in rose sorbet 110

First coat of the season! Sorry for the awkward second photo. I guess I need to inject some amusement somewhere :) I've actually been living in these trousers, putting them away for summer earlier this year was awful. I've heard dreadful stories about them ripping but luckily h&m are cleverly remaking similar versions this season.
I'm a bit superkeen this year and already planned NYE - I've got tickets for me and the boyfriend to see Kasabian, Chase & Status with Zane Lowe at the O2 Arena. Should be pretty good if you ask me. Post title is from "Embrace" by Chase & Status feat White Lies. Can't reccommend it enough - click here.
Currently very happy as Blackberry just sent me a brand new replacement phone. Really not a fan - it lasted just over a month. Seriously wish I could afford an iPhone.

Like my tweed coat? Then you'll like the winter stock in my shop!
