rut

I said to myself that I wouldn't neglect this blog, but here we are again. Only 9 posts in and the most recent being 4 months ago, I have to say I'm not staying true.
As it's the Easter holidays, (revision?) I thought I would try and spur myself into the mood of actually producing a good blogspot. I reorganised my room into something a little more chic and tasteful. For the past 2 months the dusting has been untouched and every spare space has been filled with random text books and pieces of paper that I'm too disorganised to file away properly.
The sun had made it's way through the rain clouds, and so it was time for a fresh, spring clean.
 My last day of 'freedom' this holiday, as I should revise sometime, was spent with two of my good friends, Amy and Luke, in Cardiff. It wasn't the most successful of trips to say the least. After dreaming of finding the perfect dungaree dress, I walked into Urban Outfitters and it was there, right there. Even at a stupid price, thanks UO, I deemed it reasonable a) because I've wanted one for so long and b) it was right there in front of me.


As today was beautiful and it's meant to snow tomorrow, I thought I better try it out.

This is the result of not documental outfits for a good while.
-Vintage Blouse
-Urban Outfitters Renewal Dungaree Dress
-Topshop Boots
-Topshop and Accessorise Jewellery

I've also developed I little bit of a love for eye(jewellery)
Before christmas I saw the eye ring in Topshop but it had gone when I went back to buy it! Alas.
It's all now back in stock, So i got the ring, the necklace and in my head i got the earrings but I haven't got my ears pierced in real life...



Silver Band and Braid Rings from Accessorise
Eye Ring from Topshop



See you in four months!

gentle






some pretty photos that make me feel calm and inspire room/fashion ideas

materialistic

Yeah I am materialistic...
I just want to worship theses shoes (already do). I think I'm going to save and by the matt black rather than the patent off ebay.. I think I'll be more satisfied with the ones I truly want rather than compromise
bask in their sexy awkward ness

featuring...

Sarah Leora!
Lovely Sarah emailed me a few months back, it was so sweet of her. Telling me how much she enjoyed my blog. I checked out her Etsy store and was pleasantly surprised to find a brilliant array of garments and pieces of art. Since then, she has gone on to gain popularity and has also started making the nicest little, one of a kind zines! You can even request a personal zine of you choice.


Breakfast at Tiffany's, Chung and Miss Dior Cherie what more could you need!
Beautiful original watercolour illustration's... pretty sure this is the last of them as they are the original paintings!
And lastly but certainly not leastly (making up words is my forte) her dresses.


the material is totally rad man and just reminds me so much of my favourite Meadham Kirchhoff SS12 dress.... 
and is subsequently my favourite of her dresses!
Check her etsy store for more zines, garments and paintings!
and her facebook page for recent updates and features!

wishlist

I feel like my wardrobe is full of weird and wonderful one off pieces, but I have no basics. I'm finding it difficult to create simpler outfits now, as I'm dressing more modestly.
I scoured the Topshop website for some nice things that I could easily piece together with quirky things in my wardrobe. I should probably start shopping somewhere other than Topshop but I tend to just stick there because it's easy and I only have to pay for one delivery (money scab)
I'm also lacking in interesting jewellery so I got a few pieces in mind for that area too,
I'm going to start buying these items now one by one! I also need some good jeans... anyone seen any good ankle grazers anywhere? (probably be normal length on my legs)
