Jumper - Topshop, Shirt - UO Renewal, Jeans - Jack Wills, Converse - Office

Quick outfit for you, not done one in ages! I am back home now for the christmas holidays so some of you may notice iim in front of my usual wall and my lovely brother is taking my photos again. Hopefully i will be able to get some more frequent outfit shots for you over christmas!

This is quite a typical me outfit. As much as i love wearing skirts, dresses and tights you cant beat a pair of jeans, a big shirt and a jumper. I am actually looking out for a new pair of black skinny jeans. I love the really dark colour of these, but didnt realise at the time how low rise they were so they just annoy me! Got to love high waisted jeans :)

Its not something i mention often on here (because i know most people wont care haha) but i am a big football fan and support one of my local teams Bradford City. Tonight me and my dad are going to watch them and it is going to be one of the biggest games i have ever been too! We are playing at home against Arsenal in the cup with a sell out crowd! *excited squeal*

Bringing it back to something more relatable.. nails. This is my latest christmas nail art, a wintery snowflake design.

Its really simple to do but i love how pretty it is and it goes with loads of outfits because its not too bright. Will be doing a big post on christmas nail art soon!

And i cant forget to mention the new illustration i have in my sidebar! It was done buy the wonderful Hannah who also writes a lovely blog so make sure you go and check that out :)

Floral Peplum Tee

This is one of my go-to hairstyles at the moment, its done with a hair donut. Most people already know how to do it but i have only lately found a way that works for me. If people like i can show a quick tutorial.

Top - topshop, leggings - zara, hoody - american apparel, converse - office

I had this top on my wishlist and ordered it when topshop had free delivery, and with student discount on top it only came to £10.20 which i think is quite reasonable. I love the print on it and think peplum tops are really flattering. This is a simple outfit but i was only ticking off a to-do list yesterday so wanted to be comfortable. It got sunny later on so i didnt actually need my hoody, think the outfit looks better without it anyway.

Had a successful ikea trip on monday. Which actually turned into ikea/sainsburys/wilkinsons/john lewis by the time we had finished! But i think i am now fully kitted out for university life. I need to sort through everything in my room but have a week still to do that.

As well as sorting the next week will be filled with seeing my friends and saying lots of goodbyes. Going to my friends tomorrow where we will cook a meal for a group of us, going out a couple of times for birthdays too and saying goodbye to people at work. One thing i am looking forward to is being able to paint my nails without having to take it off for work all the time! Look out for more nail/design posts to come.

Hope people who have already gone back too school are enjoying themselves. I honestly cant wait to get into university!

Wishlist #2

Leather satchel - zatchels

Converse - office

Knitted jumper - gina tricot

Camera - amazon

Rita Ora cd - amazon

This is my second wishlist. Thought i would include some items that werent clothes as well. A lot of the time my go to shoes are vans and converse, and i love the colour of these so might buy them for autumn. The jumper i saw on Astrid's blog a while ago and i loved how she style it. Its had me lusting after it ever since, and its actually quite a bargain! As i quickly mentioned in my last post i am looking into maybe buying a camera. I have always used my mums for outfit photos and other pictures on my blog, but i will be starting university soon and cant take it with me. I only have a small compact digital which isnt great quality. But i dont know much about cameras and want to try and get a good camera on a budget. Any help would be great!

This is where the new chapter begins

Been a bit absent from the blog this last week, although i have been reading everyones posts still. I got my results last thursday morning and i got the grades i needed! So i am going to study medicine at manchester uni in september. I am really excited because since then i have also found out my accommodation and have been chatting some people who will be on my corridor. My official move date is the 13th which isnt that far away! So i have lots to get sorted before then, including going through all my clothes so there may end up with a lot on ebay. Hope everyone else who got results got what they wanted.

Got a few shots of an outfit i wore last week.

Maxi dress - h&m, top - topshop, converse - office

Frizzy hair day. It actually got too warm to wear a top over the dress later that day, but i like how it looks. Had a lovely weekend with my family and my auntie and uncle who came over from america :) we took a visit to the yorkshire sculpture park and had some lovely sunny weather to wander round the grounds in. Wish i had taken some pictures actually, my mum has a few.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last of the summer holidays.

Cathedrals and orangeries

Playsuit - miss selfridge, hat - asda, socks - topshop, vans - office

I've worn this playsuit before on my blog, but it looks better on a sunny day. And the hat was a bargain from asda which i bought when i popped in to try some bikinis on. I wore this when we hired a car and took a day trip to Seville. The villa we were in wasnt far from the spanish border so we got up early and took a visit. We couldnt have picked a hotter day though! It was around 44 degrees, which is not the kind of temperature to be walking round a city in. The best part of the day was the visit to the cathedral. If you get a chance to go it really is wonderful. The inside is so vast and some of the stained glass windows are beautiful. You can walk up one of the towers in the corner and you get a view over the whole city.

  Oh and there was this lovely little orangery in the middle.

Rose pink

Top + shorts: Topshop, shoes: office

This is an outfit i had on in the middle of last week, before the pouting rain came! The shorts are a new pair. I bought two from topshop lately and they are both really comfortable. I bought the size up in these ones to make sure they are long enough and they still fit really well on my waist. The top is an old one from topshop but i still love wearing it, goes really easily with lots of things.
I dont think i have shown my vans that often on here but they are my go to footwear. I have two pairs of vans, and two pairs of converse. After rambling on about the problems i sometimes have with shoes in my last post these style are perfect. Obligatory shot of my cat in the second picture. He is such a cutie! Always comes up when we are taking photos and chases around my feet.


I have had quite a lot going on recently. Completely finished my exams today so i am FREE! So having been using my time and getting lots of things done. Will be getting more posts up asap. And really need to sort my blog header out, i am useless with html. Anyone good at it?

There's oh so much that you deserve

I get so distracted when i am on study leave, i spend my time refreshing twitter, reading blogs, looking for outfit inspiration, taking photos and eating, oh and occasionally revising. So here are some photos of the outfit i had on today.

Top - topshop, Skirt - handmade, Socks - topshop, Shoes - vans

Our cat, zebedee, sneaked into the last photo. I dont think he is very well atm :( Its got a bit cooler today because the clouds are back, after that amazing bit of weather that we had in england! I hope that it goes back to that for the summer holidays.

If you follow me on twitter you will have seen that yesterday my tickets to see Coldplay arrived. I actually cant wait. I am taking my mum to see them for her birthday and have been waiting since january when i bought the tickets. Less than two weeks left now.

Also i made an order from Elf on monday night and the package has already come this morning, which is really quick delivery. This is the first time i have ordered from them even though i have had some of their products bookmarked for ages. I made use of the 20% off code that i got at the Bloggers Boutique and have bought some false eyelashes, nail polishes and a lip tint. I will get a post up on them soon. The lip tint i have on in the picture is Elf's 'Moisturising Lip Tint Spf 8' in rose which is one that came in the goody bag from the bloggers boutique.

Daisies and blazers

I havent blogged since tuesday, thats ages ago! Ive not done anything particular this week, but have been busy running around and doing little bits here and there. Got an outfit post for you today. The sun cam out for a bit and so far it hasnt rained, fingers crossed it stays like that. So i took the chance to get a few snaps (all taken by my lovely brother).

Blazer - river island, jeans - cheap monday, top - topshop, vans - office

I have such a grumpy face in some of these photos, the sun was so bright and in my eyes! But i love the colours in this outfit. I bought these jeans well over a year ago and havent really got much wear out of them. But lately i find they fit with what i wear a lot more and look pretty cute rolled up with my vans. This top is really easy to pair with just about anything and i find myself wearing it quite a lot over leggings.

I have also done my nails again, inspired by Gem's blog.

I decided to go for a shiny background (topshop - cosmic karma) so that they weren't too plain and then used models own nail art pen for the yellow and a kirby grip and models own snow white for the petals.

This week we have also booked our family holiday! I am really excited and just cant wait for summer. Both mine and my sisters boyfriends are coming with us too and we are going to a villa in the south of portugal. 

If anyone has a lomograpgy camera i would love some tips. I am thinking of buying a diana f+ mini but know nothing really about film or processing.. So any help would be great :)

Turning on the spot

Top: topshop

Shorts: yayer

Converse: office 

Earrings: sawyer and scout

I hate how awkward i always seem to look in photos. This is my outfit from today, with a jacket because it was actually pretty chilly once the sun went in. The top has been on here before. I really love wearing it though, its really easy to wear with everything. I seem to have invested in a lot of white tops for spring/summer! These shorts were from yayer a few weeks ago and they are perfect. Slightly high waisted and in a purpley blue colour so not just plain black. Cannot wait till its warm enough to wear them without tights. Also, i have started a bit of a collection of bracelets. These are only a few that i have on but yesterday i had them piled up. Will try get a post in about them maybe.. This one arrived today and its so cute.

These past few days i have been full of cold. Which is really annoying because it meant i couldnt give blood yesterday. Also meant i have just been feeling pretty rubbish. Hoping a bit of zumba tonight will make me feel better. Dont forget my giveaway which ends in 5 days! Oh and follow me on twitter (link in the sidebar).

In a perfect world, we would be together forever.

Coat - topshop, Shorts - thrifted, Top - Topman, Belt - Grannys, Converse - Office

Cant actually believe i have done two outfit post in such a short space of time! I changed my outfit several times this morning before i ended up with this. I was comfy and warm so was pretty happy. This top is actually my boyfriends but i love it and plan to keep it for a while hahaa. Thrifted these shorts from a local charity shop back last year and recently started wearing them again, really like the colour, although they are a tad too big on me. I also tend to live in converse. My feet are looking overly large in these photos.

Glad its the weekend now, been looking forward to it all week. Have a good one guys!

Wishlist

DMs and Vans - Office, Shorts - Rokit.co.uk, Skirt and scalloped crop tops - Topshop

Okay so i am being a tad optimistic about the weather but what can i say, i want summer! DMs and Vans have been on my list for a while, they are pretty much timeless. I still need to decide between black or brown though. I prefer the brown but would probably get more wear out of the black?

I am embracing the scalloped trend (actually dont think there is one haha) but these tops are so cute. They come in a variety of colours but these colours are much more s/s. Oh, and they show my tattoo which is just too cool ;) The skirt is also from TS and i found it in a pink instore but not on the web, either way i want it. And finally i need to invest in a pair of vintage levis. They have quite a few pairs on rokit.co.uk so i think an order from there might be needed.
