Today is a multiple cups of coffee kind of day


Whilst still trying to get rid of my holiday blues, i've been dreaming of hot weather and days where I don't need to worry about wrapping up warm! So today I bared the cold, stepped out in a t-shirt (goosebumps and all) and got a new outfit post for you guys.


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!

Dressed as a St Trinian




Outfit Details

Jumper - H&M
Duster Coat - TKMAXX
Knee Socks - H&M
Shoes - Primark
Necklace - Primark



So a little bit about me... My names Coral Francis Baker I'm a new fashion blogger and would say my style is very versatile. My favourite colour is pink SHOCK! favourite trend at the moment is tartan and was exactly the same last year when the trend took over most high street stores. I'm currently studying in Birmingham City University fashion business and promotion. The one perk of being a student is the night life and my student loan which is currently being spent on clothes and food like they typical student.




So on to the outfit... what can I say except how I love the slouchy knit and pleated skort combo. But yes it is very St Trinians-esque. The skirt was an amazing sale find in River Island for £10.00 however online its actually £7.00! how cheeky is that! Anyway if you know me you know how I love knee socks especially at winter, I do love over the knee boots but they don't love my skinny legs so socks are the second best thing right. The outfit itself is very monochrome with a pop of pink in my hair, bag and skort, ive tried to keep the main attention of my outfit on the skirt so tried to bring out all the colours from it.
