Some Instagram Photos

I feel bad for just giving you a text post so here's a few photos from my Instagram!

 


So to round it all off, I discovered that I find it relaxing to bake when I'm stressed, I got into the University of Leicester, I passed my grade 7 violin exam, I ate a lot of Croques, I started reading A Game Of Thrones and I had a pretty good summer! 
Thanks for reading

An Explanation

Hello there!
This is just going to be a quick text post to explain why I haven't been blogging and what I'm doing now.
Firstly, I'm so sorry for not posting anything for such a long while. I had January exams and then many months of stress preparing for my June exams. It was a truly horrible experience and I have never been so stressed in my life. I decided not to blog until my exams were completely over but then once they were , I just wasn't in the right mood to blog anything. Recently I've been thinking about blogging again and today I decided to get the ball rolling with this text post.

Anyway, thank goodness, the hard work paid off and I'm going to be going to the University of Leicester to study mechanical engineering! This was my first choice so I was really chuffed and I can't wait to start my course. I'm going to be living in halls despite being local to Leicester so I've been doing lots of shopping and packing. I don't move in until the 29th of September but it's hard to not get over excited and do a little bit of packing already!

Hopefully I'll be getting around to doing some photo posts as there's lots of stuff I've bought over the last few months that I'm really excited about and would love to share with you guys!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this! I hope you had a wonderful summer and you'll hear from me soon.

Late Christmas Post!

Hello everyone! Oh dear, I apologise. It has been a while. I seem to be starting all my posts with an apology lately and this one doesn't seem to be an exception!
My exams start on Friday eek! I need to do fairly well in these hence the hardcore revision sessions and that lack of posting. Anyway, I took some time out yesterday to take a few photos of some of the lovely presents I got for Christmas.

1)


My mum bought me this. This perfume is lovely. I've been wearing the same one for a while now (Carcharel Amor Amor, which is also great) and so a new perfume was a welcome change! It lasts a long while, sometimes in the evening I still manage to get a whiff of it. It has a gorgeous gentle and subtle smell which I prefer to strong fruity perfumes. I really recommend it.

2)
              

These lovely things are all from the boyfriend. He also bought be some really funky toe socks but they were in the wash. Like the tshirt? Tough because he made it. Apparently it's not too hard to do though :) I absolutely love my necklaces. The owl necklace is really subtle and cute, and I've wanted an amethyst necklace forever so it was a lovely surprise.

3)


Some of the bottoms I got! The two skirts are from Topshop and I asked for them so they weren't exactly a surprise but either way, I love them! Especially the green one, it's really lightweight and the colour is beaut. I bought the shorts on impulse because it was on sale on Urban Outfitters for £15. They sold out so quickly! I'm glad I got a pair but they are very tight at the top and I wouldn't call them true to size. Luckily I've lost some weight recently so this wasn't too much of a problem for me.

These are some of the lovely green tops I got. The first one is from Urban Outfitters. I wanted it for ages but I couldnt justify the price plus postage and packaging, suddenly, there was free postage and packaging and I was on it straight away! It's a lovely top and really comfortable. The other top was from my brother and is from Topshop. I have a similar one in white. I love the fit, the colour and the pattern is really nice. 

5)

Last thing, I promise! This is a scarf that my neighbours got be and it really is gorgeous. The colours are so lovely. Purples, blues and greens are a favourite of mine. The sequins make it look really classy too. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed having a butchers and that you had a lovely Christmas. I'm going to do some more revision now, hooray. Adios and thank you for reading.x

Would love for christmas

Helloooo guys. Again, I'm having to apologise for not posting anything in a long while. It's been a mad couple of weeks. Anyway here's a little wishlist! Enjoy.

  1. Jersey Skater Skirt- £16 from Topshop
  2. Lip Crayon In Arcade- £7 from Topshop 
  3. Kristen. Green Gemstone Necklace- £16 from Regal Rose
  4. Green Speckle Skater Skirt- £16 from Topshop
  5. A Million Kisses Lip Tint- £5.50 from Lush
  6. Vitamin E Hand And Nail Treatment- £8 from The Body Shop
  7. Nails In Ashes And Fire- £6 from Topshop 
  8. Grey Marl Speckle Skater Skirt- £16 from Topshop
Fairly Topshop heavy post but I just love these skirts! Also, I already have the lip crayon. It's a lovely plum/red colour when applied lightly but quite purple when put on heavily. When I want to go for a bolder colour I like to mix it in with a red shade to get a deep burgundy. 
I hope you have a lovely weekend! Can't wait for Christmas to get here. Thanks for reading.x

My new cute tights

Hello everyone! I hope that you're all well.
I've been wanting some cute heart tights for ages but I could never seem to find the type I wanted. A few days ago, I was browsing ASOS and there they were! The exact kind I was looking for and they were reduced!
ASOS Heart Sheer Tights from ASOS- £8 (Currently £6)


My friend told me that she often wears another pair of thin tights on top of any patterned tights that she wears. This is because it makes it harder for the ones you're wearing to rip and it just keeps you that little bit warmer in the winter. Obviously it's up to you whether or not you want to do this but here are some photos just to show you what it looks like. The tights are slightly darker but you can still see the pattern well. 



I really love these tights and I will definitely wear them a lot (although they'll probably tear soon being as I can be so clumsy).
Have a lovely week everyone! x

Busy, busy, busy!

Hello all! I hope that you're well. I'm so so sorry that I haven't been blogging at all lately. I have a 2000 word draft of a 5000 word essay due in a couple of weeks and and also have five January exams to revise for!
Anyway, I spent a little time this evening making a very small wishlist. It's admittedly pretty rubbish but I've had no time to browse around recently.


  1. Europe Night Map Tee from Topshop- £25
  2. Black Tapestry Floral Print Skater Skirt from River Island- £18
  3. Navy Velvet Skater Skirt from Fashion Union- £16
  4. Nails In Mercury Rising from Topshop- £6
  5. Maddy Blouse from Monki- £25
Sorry again for the lack of blogging! Hopefully I'll have a little more time after this essay draft is finished. Take care.x

Shoes!

Hello everyone. I'm sorry that I've not posted anything in forever. I've not had a lot to blog about and I've had tonnes of work to do.

Anyway, a few days ago I ordered some shoes from Amazon. I wasn't sure about them when ordering because I've never really worn wedges before and I've never bought shoes from Amazon. They arrived today which was a nice surprise being as they were estimated to arrive next Friday.



     





I love these shoes. They're really comfortable and look great. They're from a company called SoYouShoes but I couldn't find these particular shoes on the site. If you're interested in buying them you can get them from Amazon here. They cost me £17.99, and including P&P I paid a total of £21.94 which I consider to be very reasonable for what they are.
Have a lovely weekend everyone! Until the next time.x
