She's just a girl





A lot of black- again - but you've come to expect it now, I'm sure. I am trying to wear less black & also things that are more fitted as baggy stuff just doesn't really suit my shape but sometimes a big baggy tshirt & cardigan are what feels good... I did add a splash of colour with my scarf & red nail polish anything to distract from my newly dyed black hair! If you follow me on Twitter, you will know this was an accident but I actually quite like it now with a tan & some make up ... que my chummy calling me Kris Jenner! I like it for now, I always get so bored with my hair colour, I suppose it is part of having a short cut you can play about with colour a little more!

One more thing before I go & get back to my dissertation proposal which I will be using all of you lovely people for (if you are willing to help! *hopeful face*) as it is on Social Media in particular fashion blogging!

PS I love my Fur Gilet! <3

Love is such a crazy thing



This blouse was an impulse buy that always seems to have a comeback in my wardrobe! I'm not sure what made me pull it out today, I guess I just felt like being a wee bit smarter dressed today?! I love it mixed with my velvet trousers & fur gilet. This little baby was my birthday present from my mum & dad. It is from Topshop & is totally perfect. I love throwing it over my safari jacket or leather jacket for a little bit of added warmth. Again it is a nice way to add textures... all about the textures today it would seem!

Sunday Diary #3

*picture from my friends 22nd Birthday night out

One of these Sunday diaries I will use a picture that isn't from the night before, one day! I've had such a good weekend, yesterday was so much fun spent with my favourite people - my brother, my friends... it was so perfect. This week I need to majorly get into my uni work... 4th year is killer!

I love my River Island Disco pant dupes ... they are so comfy & so flattering. £30 well spent for sure!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Style Crush #15

 Kim Kardashian's transformation since getting together with Kayne West is very obvious, if you watch the show you will have seen her wardrobe makeover! Some outfits have been awful, for want of a better word but some I have loved. So Miss Kim K is my Style Crush for this week.

Her looks are quite monochromatic, I like to think I am quite monochromatic, in reality I just wear a shit load of black! - with bursts of rich colours such as emerald green, cobalt blue & red ... she also has become an avid texture mixer which I think is a nice way of adding detail to pretty basic everyday pieces.

I would have featured a few more outfits but I don't want to go over the top with pictures!

Birthday Bag


Say hello to my new handbag friend!

She is a little Topshop number that my flatmates got me for my birthday. I had lusted over her for so long & am so happy that she is finally mine! The suede is so luxurious & the detail on the back if perfection. The shorter gold chain handle is a nice touch but I doubt if I will ever be seen bashing along the street with it like that...

Topshop at the moment are getting it so right. I am forever on the website thinking of all the things I want to buy... this could end really badly.

Sunday Diary #2


 *picture from Halloween/my actual birthday

Back to work this week after 2 weeks off... I really don't want to go back! I've got a uni presentation tomorrow as well which I am really not looking forward too, I hate presentations but this time tomorrow it will be over & done with! I got some River Island disco pant dupes but I'm not sure how I feel in them. They are insanely comfortable but I'm not sure if they are very flattering. Maybe I will post some pictures before next weekend seen as I am planning to wear them then!

What did everyone get up to this weekend?

Style Crush #14

Paloma Faith has such amazing style. She is always well turned out & a little bit creative with her looks without forgetting glamorous! I'd love to dress like her everyday but I think I'd get some odd looks walking around Tesco...

Her style has a very vintage 1950s feel to it but there is something of a modern look to it as well. I heard Paloma once says that the reason she dresses so overtly is that her generation [my generation, more than likely your generation] never put effort in to dressing anymore. I can understand where she is coming from, 1950s girls wore matching dresses & jackets with hats during the day *sigh*
