A Midsummer Daydream

T-shirt - Monki    Skirt- Forever 21   Vans- Office   Sunglasses - Topshop
Excuse me while I check myself out

I'm not sure if anyone (in the UK) remembers, but a few weeks ago the sun actually came out and such an occasion calls for a roadside photoshoot. Making this my first outfit post of the year.
 We are half way through Summer and to me it feels like it hasn't even started, yes, right now the glass is half-empty. This is probably because my holiday/vacation (as you wish) is right at the end of summer, and I've spent the past 3 weeks just wishing time would hurry up.

Going back to my previous post, my first thing to do was "Find the perfect pair of sunglasses". I'm quite happy with this pair that I bought in Topshop a few weeks ago, circular frame as I predicted and colourless making them effortlessly versatile.

I realised my nail polish really stands in this photo. It's 'Passion fruit', Barry M Gelly Hi Shine. The colour is spot on for summertime and brightens up my sunless days.

I'm loving: Studded boots!

  If I'm being completely honest, when studding became a big thing I absolutely hated it, I still see studding as a bit of a fashion cliche but it has slightly grown on me. Boots are essential for autumn/winter and the cuter the better. These are the 3 pairs I've had my eye on especially. I went to Aldo on Oxford St today and tried on the first two, they were both amazing and extremely comfortable now I just have to decide which ones to buy. Number 1 might just be winning. Lastly, the amazingly gorgeous boots by Chloé. I don't even know where to start with them. They are practically the same as Jeffrey Campbell's Startburst except the heel is different and in my opinion better. At first I thought they were hideous but I was young and foolish then, even if it was only a few weeks ago. So if anyone wants to lend me £1,135.00 to fulfill my studded Chloé fantasy I will love you forever.

OOTD + Purchase!

Hat: Spitalfields market. Oversized jumper & Shirt: New Look. Jeans: M&S!

 American Apparel were/are having what I thought would be an amazing pop-up outlet sale on Brick Lane, unfortunately it wasn't as great as I'd hoped and most of the items I hoped would be on sale were not, resulting in me leaving the shop empty handed. Luckily, Office around the corner were having a sale and I found a pair of red floral vans for £25! It's strange because I remember lusting over a similar pair when I was about 13. Maybe this purchase is me simply fulfilling my childhood desires? They are cute though.

Recent buys + Ramble.

 I did a little bit of shopping about two weeks ago in preparation for EEC (End of Exams Celebration)...my school's take on a prom! I didn't buy a new dress simply because I knew it wasn't going to be an extravagant event, instead I accessorised. In the first picture you can see the 5 of the 7 items I purchased, the other were boring ( the purple cardigan I'm wearing the photo and a plain grey top). I found the beautiful collar (pictured below) on sale in Topshop for £7 which I would have been foolish to ignore, I then wore that with my dress to look a bit more fancy.
 I also bought a pair of simple frilly (what I like to call primary school) socks in a oaty/off-white colour which were £3.50. I went to Primark to find a cardigan or blazer to wear with my dress but I simply wasn't impressed...Primark and I have a love/hate relationship. Instead I left with two jewellery pieces. Firstly a really cute, gold rose patterned bracelet. I was sceptical at first as it's not the type of piece I'd usually opt for but I took the "risk" and got, it was only £4 and then a cute, kitsch-looking 12 pack of earrings.
 Again I've heard tonnes about Primark earring but I thought I'd try them out for myself, they were/are perfectly fine. I actually really like them because they're a cheap version of something you'd find in accesorize for at least £8 and mine were but a mere £2.50.
 The last item I bought was the NYC Sky Rise lengthening mascara. I LOVE IT. It's honestly so simple yet it does wonders to my tightly curled lashes. I had bought the Rimmel London Scandeleyes a few days before but I really wasn't impressed. The best thing about this purchase (NYC) was that it was meant to be £2.49 but I hit my first 100 points on my Superdrug card so I got £1 off! Lol I think I understand why grown ups are so obsessed with clubcard/nectar points, the sense of achievement is just so...fulfilling!

P.S I've finally finished school for Summer!

Summer's soon approaching!

I've never been so excited to leave school before in my life. Especially as I'm leaving secondary school I thought I'd be wanting to hold on and what not, but apparently not. I have ONE exam left, you have no clue how amazing it feels to write that. Maths on Tuesday then I'm done...with my GCSE's that is. To make matters worse I have the flu at the moment so my motivation to revise is minimal but I promise I will do some hardcore revision for a majority of tomorrow.

I recently made an online purchase at Urban Outfitters because they're having a sale, which is amazing as they're stuff is far from cheap but it's usually so nice that you convince yourself it's worth it. I ordered a lovely    cropped farisle (ish) jumper, I know it's summer and so I shouldn't be buying knitwear I can help it. Plus I'm trying to build my wardrobe from scratch for when I start sixth form, so that's another reason why. I'm going to be doing a lot of shopping for sixth form nearer the end of summer so many posts will be made.

Here's the jumper: it looks a bit boxy on her but it'll be fine.

Have a lovely day.

Polka dot socks!

Just placed an order from Topshop for a gorgeous pair of lilac frilly socks, just like the ones you'd wear in primary school with your summer dress! I also got a pale green polka dot tote/shopper bag. Exams are taking over everything at the moment but a little breather is always essential. I will definitely post a few pictures once my package arrives.
 
Until next time.

Collar craze!

Lately I've been really into collars, as in detachable collars. The ones that you just clip around your neck and then tuck into a jumper. I haven't really seen many in shops but I've been looking online and Ebay seems to be collar heaven! They are just so versatile and can been worn with so many different outfits, not just with jumpers. I'm sure they work with casual dresses too. There are floral ones, beaded ones and even a few with really intricate crochet details. I'm off to make my order but I will surely post a few pictures when mine arrive!





Miu Miu detachable collars, Spring collection 2011.
