I am super sorry I haven't updated my blog in almost 2 months! I've been really overwhelmed with college work/ my new job so just kept pushing it to one side, but I promise I won't let it slide again!
Anyway, I just wanted to update you all on what's been going on with me recently; I've just finished my art A level which means I NEVER have to do art EVER again!!! This honestly makes me so happy because it's stressed me out so much over the past year, I really thought about giving up so many times, but the idea of going to study my dream course (which is now my firm choice) got me through it!
I also started bartending, something no one expected, but I'm absolutely loving it and the people I work with.
Now finally something fashion related; here's my latest wishlist (all of which I can't afford right now) but a girl can dream!
If you click the photo you'll be redirected to my polyvore set where you can find trackable links to everything above!
I promise to update again this week!

I'm so fancy - Slogan sweat and tee
I'm getting so bad at keeping up with my blog atm, so I'm super sorry about how overdue this outfit post is! I promise i'm going to start blogging more again!
I can't forget my Zara shorts, they were a birthday present from my dad (when he didn't want to contribute towards my tattoo). Their Trafaluc collection is always so amazing, and these are so me - monochrome, comfy and stylish.
However, my number 1 item of clothing right now is my quilted jacket from H&M! I wear it constantly, and it's my go to for a night out - It ties around the strap of all my bags so I don't have to lug about a jacket all evening, plus it's so warm when leaving in the early hours!
Okay so first off, my bestest friend got me this Missguided crop tee for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I'm going to uni in September to study fashion styling, so this is honestly the perfect top for me, it's super comfy and a really thoughtful present.
Due to it still being pretty cold, i'm still living in cosy jumpers. So when I saw this ASOS sweat I HAD TO buy it! I'm not sure if I can call it a talent, but knowing every lyric to Fancy by Iggy is definitely my idea of impressive - obviously I needed the sweater.
I also got some super cute new Topshop shoes for day or night, plus a going out bag since I've been out a lot more than I expected - being 18 is fab, but also very expensive. Fave thing about the bag is the texture, definitely one of my top purchases this year so far.

Today is a multiple cups of coffee kind of day
I've been wanting to show off this clutch since christmas, but have sucked at keeping up with my blog because of uni prep and deadlines at sixth form. Sorry! But anyway, this gem is from New Look and I am soo in love. It's actually got tons of space in it and can easily be worn casually during the day - bonus.
Anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis will have seen I did a Zara TRF post a while back on one of their t-shirts; this is another I got ages ago, which perfectly describes most of my Sundays! I'm not really a t-shirt girl but their simple ones are so on point.
Okay, these boots are actually perfection. I got them before Christmas but haven't had the chance to wear them yet, so today was my chance to get them out and show them off! Usually I am awful at walking in stiletto type heels, but these are so supportive and I will defo be wearing these while the cold weather lasts! They look so chic with all black, but I wanted to try styling them a little differently for this post.
Warning: Not to do with my outfit but a personal bit requested about me...
I was pretty surprised the other day to get an email with the subject 'tattoo', but one of my fab readers wanted me to post a picture on here and explain the meaning behind what I got. Basically, my 18th was on the 3rd and ever since I was 12 I had watched LA ink (Kat Von D's programme) and other tattoo programmes and loved how people were getting pieces of art on their body.
For year's I had the idea of getting mine and my mum's favorite flowers but I could never decide on mine, plus mum's was a lily which I didn't really want as a tattoo - sorry mum! So we came to the mutual agreement on cherry blossoms; they are known to symbolise power, new beginnings and the passing of things - completely relevant to me! The elephant doesn't really have a meaning, but they have always been my favorite animal and they symbolise strength. Elephant's also are stuck with their trunk, how I feel about my nose, so I guess that has some significance.
The most important part of my tattoo is the wording, last year for my 17th birthday my parents bought me a ring which has faith written around it, I wear it every day (apart from when my nails look horrible - then I avoid drawing attention to my hands!) but it was really meaningful to me because I was going through a really low point, the past year has really changed me so I wanted to have this with me permanently to remind me that I managed to overcome everything.
My design isn't finished yet, I need to have the cherry blossom's shaded pink, but I absolutely adore it so far and it can only get better!

November Wish List
Image definitely reflects your personality, and I think creating a wish list gives people an insight into the ideal you. I already have my christmas wishlist ready, but this is about showing you my ideal self!
1. The first thing on my list is Ted Baker's botanical bloom bikini:
4. Jeans are a staple piece for everyone's wardrobe, and ripped pairs are totally in right now!
I would 100% pair these with the Saint Laurent shoes and a simple white top. All white = my fave. I really love how the ripped detail isn't large holes, just distressed; which means they can be worn casually or dressed up.
1. The first thing on my list is Ted Baker's botanical bloom bikini:
| http://www.tedbaker.com/uk/Womens/Clothing/Swimwear/TTEMM-Botanical-bloom-print-bikini-top-Pale-Pink/p/115603-59-PALE-PINK |
As some of you already know, I will be spending December/ January in South Africa and having this to wear on the beach would be a dream come true! The print is so delicate, plus the colour would look fab with a tan! I love Ted Baker's collections, especially the printed products.
2.
| http://www.felicefabric.com/simoes-tribal-fit-flare-bodycon-dress/ |
Recently I have been lusting over this Felice Fabric Tribal fit and flare bodycon, I spotted the dress online when researching brands and completely fell for this beauty! The design is perfection and the colours are super pretty.
3. Most people know I LOVE white shoes! Which is obviously why I chose these to go on my wish list!
| http://www.harrods.com/product/tribute-croc-sandal/saint-laurent/000000000004542014?p=4542014&cat1=new-shoes&cat2=shoes-women-all |
Saint Laurent shoes are timeless, and this pair is gorgeous! The subtle crocodile texture could be easily matched with anything and the style is super diverse.

5. PJ's are an essential, but finding the perfect nightwear can be a challenge!
| http://www.bouxavenue.com/cynthia-spot-teddy--pink--mix/201349-20px |
Boux Avenue's Cynthia spot teddy is uber cute and definitely feminine - not your average pair of comfy pyjamas. Garments like this always make you feel confident, fabby for a movie night with a special someone. I'd definitely wear this with cosy knee high socks (cute and warm).
Bobbi Brown's basic brush set has every brush you will need to complete any look. I love the design of these brushes and the simplicity of them.
6. Makeup brushes are definitely an important base to your makeup collection, and having a good set is worth the money.
| http://www.bobbibrown.co.uk/products/2286/Brushes-etc/Organisers/Brush-Sets/index.tmpl |
7. I adore a good matte lipstick, they can last all day and give an edgy finish to any look. I experiment with colours and I think this Illamasqua number is lush!
9. Fur is fab for any occasion, casual or dressy. ASOS never disapoints when it comes to the latest trends, and these metalic shoes with fur detailing are gorgeous!
I love how the detailing is at the back rather than over the toe, it offers something different to other pairs available (not that I don't adore them too). But this design is super different and unexpected,they could easily be worn with some jeans or a dress.
10. Okay the most extravagent item on my wish list HAS to be from my favourite fashion house; Dolce and Gabbana. Their collections are insane and definitely began my interest in fashion.
Owning a piece of their clothing would be completely surreal! The lace detailing and cut of the dress is utter perfection. The colour is obviously a bonus for me, simple but stunning!
The shade is corrupt and is described as 'warm bright pink', the swatches look fab and the packaging is amazing!
8. My 18th birthday is coming up in a few months, and I've already dropped a few hints to my parents about this little gem. Which girl wouldn't love to have something from Tiffany & Co.?
They have sooo many amazing designs, but I love this simple band with the brands name on it!

Autumn Florals
This post is soo overdue but I've been super busy recently as i'm currently in Ipswich visiting family. Sorry!! The weather is getting slightly gross (not a huge fan of the damp and cold) and it's getting darker in the days so I thought i'd use today as one of my last chances to go bare legged before going away at christmas. Cosy florals was my overall ensemble today; whilst still attempting to pull off the in-between seasons look.
I chose a mix of pastel pinks and charcoal to give that autumn feel. By layering a cropped jumper over a strappy cami dress the outfit was cut into perfect proportions of top, skirt and leg; I didn't want to make my legs look too short as I wore socks under my shoes.
My fabuleuse jumper from H&M has to be one of my faves as it is really snug but doesn't itch like some jumpers can. The sleeves are slightly too long so I tend to roll them up a bit - this adds a nice touch. And the hem is loose so hangs really nicely over anything. In winter this style jumper looks fab with high waisted jeans or a knitted/ leather skirt.
Floral has always been one of my favourite trends as it is constantly reinvented. This year has seen a lot of watercolour style florals, including this Miss Selfridge dress. When I bought the dress it was actually suggested for festivals, however it is great for any season as it can be layered with knitted or black tights and a long sleeved top underneath when it gets colder.
This coat has to be the best AW coat I have ever purchased! It's a wool blend lined with a satiny fabric. I love the length as it comes to about half way down my bum and doesn't feel restrictive or too short. The photos make it look more pink than it actually is; its more of a pale blush colour - super easy to match with anything.
I risked strappy shoes instead of boots today, they helped to elongate my legs and they are less chunky than my cut out boots. Usually I wouldn't wear socks with these shoes but sheer ankle socks actually look quite pretty (especially with the shimmer). The petal design matched my dress quite well, but even plain sheer socks could look really nice if recreating this look. Just be careful with sheer socks as they can ladder really easily!
If pink isn't your colour you can easily recreate this look using different coloured florals/ garments. I reckon this would also look fab with a slick topknot on a night out (ditch the coat and jumper obviously). And for makeup I would do a smokey eye and keep a pale lip colour.
Accessory wise a black or white bag would look best with these colours to avoid an overload of pink, or you could pick out a colour from one of the flowers to match accessories with.
Dress: Miss Selfridge
Coat: H&M
Jumper: H&M
Shoes: Topshop
Socks: Asos
