Improvise


And to think I never bothered to make my pictures larger before. Infinitely clearer! Scarily big, in fact. I'm not sure if I'll keep doing it hahaha. What do you guys think?

I shouldn't be posting at all but the weather was too tempting. I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and catch some sun whilst taking outfit pictures.  The studded dress is a vintage DKNY skirt that I've hiked up and belted and the beaded headband is actually a choker.







Staring lovingly at my Docs.

Hope that you're all having wonderful weekends! :)

Darling buds of May

Hello my lovelies. Sorry for such a long absence! And sorry I look so tired in these photos... My exams start NEXT WEEK (ahhhhh) and the stress will continue for 2 weeks so once that long week of fear and terror is over, I shall try and get back into the swing of things!

Firstly I want to say THANK YOU :D to the beautiful Laura of DaisyChain Dreams because I won her giveaway yayy. I can't wait to receive my package!!! Yum yum yum....

But before the oh-crap-only-a-few-days-before-exams panic period starts, I thought I'd show off a few (understatement) new purchases. I have bought far too many things lately, mainly because I'm stuck in my room revising and am forever tempted by online shopping!

The blue poofy skirt is from the topshop sale and is SO MUCH MORE POOFY than I expected it to be... I absolutely love it!

I have given up the search for Emma Cook boots and will wait patiently until someone tires of theirs and takes pity on me :( ..... So I bought chunky heeled creepers off ebay instead :)

The black body is from.... uh.... OK OK, NEW LOOK AGAIN. They are made out of stretchy cotton and don't cling to the body - just skim it. And they're like 8 pounds or something! Fully recommended. I want to get my hands on a stripy version.

JUMP! Hehe.

YESSSS I got the hair flick downnnn. Sorry about the boobage.

Anddd my beloved vintage denim jacket.


Perfect summer outfit!


Bye for now :)

Hello lovelies,

I'm impatiently waiting for my packages to arrive!!! Haha, this is the problem with online shopping - there isn't the same INSTANT GRATIFICATION feeling that you get when shopping :P

Oh well. It's hardcore revision time which means comfort food and slobbing out all round. I literally don't go outside unless its to the supermarket, so real-life shopping is not an option! This is what I wore today to go... you guessed it, food shopping. 

Although I could be on my way to a very cool, underground gig. Yes I could. (Just allow me to pretend I have a life).


(My boyfriend told me to do my laces up)


A window frame picture. Don't say I don't spoil you!

Hat - Zara Men
Top - AA pocket skirt
Belt - Uniqlo
Denim shorts - Vintage
Boots - Vintage

I'm thinking of cutting these shorts shorter and doing a Shini DIY. Yes, no?

Thank you for all the great comments on the last post. You guys really helped ease the guilt on those purchases ;) I will be sure to show and tell when they arrive!

Gotta lot o' livin' to do









Today was spent procrastinating in the sunshine!! I swear its so painful that as soon as revision period starts, the sun comes out.... WHY. Must definitely try to be more focused from now on.

What do you think of the grey VS crazy blazer? I went with the gray for warmth but am itching to bring the stripey blazer to life again. Another thing - I bought the grey coat around 2 years ago but this winter I have seen EVERYBODY AND THEIR MUM WEARING IT. Seriously, I hate it when that happens! Everyone must have taken it out of storage thinking that no one else would be wearing it.... How wrong they were, haha.

Top - Criminal clothing (don't judge, it has retro looking lipstick guns on it, I was sucked in)
Bandage skirt - Topshop
Boots - Vintage
Grey Coat - River Island from many years ago
Striped blazer - Primark (! £12!)

Bought these vintage boots at the weekend. Love them! They're so comfy.


Thanks for your lovely comments! Must do more jump pictures ;)
