once a month is certainly not enough

Due to my recent travels and deadlines at University my posts have been sparse.

I will tell you more about it soon :)

pinch punch...and it's been way too long.

Oh dear...

Major apologies for my lack of blogging! I have been busy with one thing and another (a.k.a no excuse is feasable)

Moreover, I am now able to return back to normal! And on a better note, I am so excited that Spring is moving ever closer and I can step outside with a smile on my face knowing I do not need my coat! (simple things please simple minds...)

It is so lovely to see floaty things back in the shops again instead of things that keep me warm. There is nothing more I love on a bright Spring afternoon than to catch up with my friends over a crisp pear cider (well we are from the West Country after all!)

And now for a peek into my imaginary Spring outfit of choice.





This Topshop baby also comes in pink, just like Sleeping Beauty ♥



Now that Boots can move down the list for Spring footwear, this pair of beauties from ASOS can make an appearance!


For me, my mac is an essential replacement for my thick fur-lined winter warmer. Pop it over any outfit for a classy upheaval. This one here is Topshop, £89 (Mine was an absolute bargain from TK Maxx, sorry!)


Simple but effective. A Tan leather shoulder bag is the perfect accompinant for any season or occasion. I hasten to add that I only bought mine in December but I carry it around with me most days. Topshop, £55.


Team all of this with a splash of your favourite perfume, a swipe of lipstick and your trusty jeans, and you are ready to face the world head-on!

Till next time ladies ♥

Aftermath

Hello!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was the same as it always is: my parents, younger brother and I spending the day on the sofa exchanging funny stories with regular snacks and top-ups of wine. Christmas, for me, is also one of those days that you don't get out of your pyjamas by choice. To be honest, I wouldn't like it any other way! My favourite present I received was a beautiful vintage jewellery box, which I know I will keep forever! I love it.

How did you spend your Christmas?

my list this year...

♥

I have compiled a list of ten items that I really, really want. Due to living student life a little indulgently I haven't been able to satisfy my cravings to shop as frequent as I'd like. This is more of a 'what I plan to buy' as opposed to 'what I want for Christmas' as I don't ask for anything in particular anymore...and my fingers are crossed for the sales!

So without further ado, and in no particular order...

Cream sheer shirt- Topshop.

Burnt coral sheer collared shirt- Topshop.

Beige and black Peter Pan collar dress- New Look.

Navy and gold 'mock croc' bag- River Island.

Tall chocolate boots- Ugg Australia.

Blue and brown tartan shoulder bag- River Island.

'Believe' ring- Disney Couture.

Floral headband- Dolly Bow Bow.

'K' Scrabble ring- Dolly Bow Bow.

Two tickets to go travelling with my boyfriend, Henry. You can view his blog here.

I hope I can be able to own all of these items in the near future! Santa, if you're listening I wouldn't say no to a little help!

christmas is upon us!

Only four days to go!

University is over, everybody has returned home and I am finally happy now all my assessments (10,000 words worth) are finished! The tree is up in the living room and is sitting proudly next to the fireplace. Looks like something out of a catalogue!

The happiness that surrounds Christmas time makes it my favourite time of the year. Giving gifts and sharing special memories with your loved ones is what it is all about for me.

Mulled wine, snowy walks, sledging, laughter, and lots of singing and dancing are a few of my festive favourites.

Sleighbells ring, are you listening...

a taste of things to come...

As I am currently suffering with a large amount of coursework my blog posting may be subject of being slightly scattered within the next two weeks. However, I have lots of ideas for future postings including some wintery fashion inspiration, christmas gift ideas, and other festivities!

For now, I will leave you with a song that always leaves me with a happier state of mind. I have liked Fleet Foxes for over a year now, and encourage you to investigate!

a wintery welcome...

My first blog post! I created this blog back in January, and I promised I would stick to it. Taking inspiration from others around me, I have decided to come back and this time I will stick to it. Especially since I have been staying in a lot more due to the extreme cold outside! I hope to create an interesting blog, containing my day-to-day thoughts, with batches of pretty pictures here and there!

Keep your eyes peeled!
