Capulet

Top- ASOS. Trousers- AllSaints. Bag- Zara. Phone Case-c/o Capulet London. Necklace- Topshop


Hi Guys,

How cool is this little Phone wallet?! The people over at Capulet sent me it along with a few items to try out and review on my blog  (you might have seen them featured in Grazia a few weeks ago). It all came really nicely packaged with a lovely felt orange case tied with a ribbon- first impressions make such a difference!

I really like how compact and neat the wallet is, your phone slides into one of the compartments and there's space down the side for your cards. There's also a little wrist strap to hold on to.

The only thing I would say is that is quite expensive so its not something I would usually buy for myself  (poor student) But i do think that it would make an amazing gift. They have loads of different colours and styles on their site so if you should definitely check it out. Ive got an amazing iPad case to show you later on too which I reeeally like! It makes me feel like an important exec...

I also wanted to show you this scuba peplum top from ASOS that i got the other day (you can find it here) and this sequin Aztec clutch that I got for Christmas - I cant believe its the first time its made an appearance! Shocking behaviour. Ok sorry for the long post :) That's all I needed to say.

Oh wait! A few of you have been e-mailing to ask what kind of make ups I wear so I'll do a post on that too soon! Although I have to warn you I'm not that good with stuff like that, but I'll try my best :)

Happy Wednesday!

Red Paisley

Shorts- c/o Lavish Alice. Shirt- H&M. Necklace- Topshop. Bag- ASOS
Hello Everyone,

Some more paisley print for you guys because I cant get enough of it! This time I'm wearing red print paisley shorts that I picked out from Lavish Alice, a really cool online boutique that I only discovered the other week- some really reasonably priced stuff! I was a bit apprehensive about ordering from an online store that I'm unfamiliar with in case their clothes didn't fit properly but I was pleasantly surprised! You should definitely check them out :)

ALSO!  entries for my giveaway closed yesterday, so I went old school and picked names out of a hat!
And the winner is......

Rosie Ashley!

Congratulations Rosie, I will be sending you an e-mail with further details. Thanks again to everyone who entered :)

I hope you are having a a fun Monday!

Yellow

Jumper- Zara. Shirt- River Island. Skirt- H&M. Bag- Zara. Shoes-Topshop

Hi Guys!

 I needed to show you this Yellow jumper I got from Zara the other week, I've been getting a lot of wear out of it recently! Its such a nice fit and I love the colour :)

 I bought it in a size Medium so it would fit slightly looser and sit better for layering! Some of you have been e-mailing to ask what sizes Ive bought in various items, I usually buy a six unless i say otherwise! Oh and the T-shirt dress below is from the petite section, I'm still waiting for that growth stint I was promised all those years ago...

Oh and the In Love with Fashion giveaway ends tomorrow don't forget to enter if you want to win :)

Thank you for all your lovely comments recently, ive been so so busy recently so havent had the chance to reply to them but I really appreciate every single one :)

Hope you're all having a good weekend!

T-shirt Dress


T-shirt dress- Topshop. Clutch- ASOS. Necklace- Topshop. Shoes- Topshop

Hi Guys,

You might have noticed that I haven't been buying many new things from Topshop recently, I don't know why I just haven't been feeling it so much lately. I went in the other day for the first time in weeks and bought this little t-shirt dress! I'm not usually into such girly silhouettes but I'm loving this, I think the grey marl jersey material kind of scruffens it up a bit!

ALSO! I forgot to say in the past couple of posts, I've lightened my hair again :) I was missing my blonde hair and its making me feel a little more summery again.  A few of you were asking so i thought I'd clear it up !

I am overwhelmed by the amount of you who took the time to fill out my survey for my dissertation, it is SUCH a big help and I've had some great answers! So thank you sooo much!  If anyone else is writing their dissertation please just drop me an e-mail and I'll be more than happy to return the favour!

There are also only a couple more days to enter the In Love with Fashion giveaway, so don't forgot to enter if you want a chance to win!

:)

Paisley


Jacket- Vintage . Paisley Shirt- Zara. Necklace- Topshop. Shorts- Zara. Shoes- Topshop

Paisley print is a big hit for me this season, I can't get enough of it! I'm enjoying this shirt from Zara especially and all of its silky paisley pyjama-esque glory!

You might have noticed that I have these tailored shorts from Zara in black also and they fit amazing so when I saw that they were out in white for summer too I had to snap them up!

I have another small small favour to ask :) I'm in the middle of writing my dissertation and wondered if you guys would be able to help me out by filling in a short questionnaire! My dissertation is on the use of fashion blogs as platforms for advertising and  I want gain the readers perspective on it and I'd really value you guys' opinions!  

If you fill out the survey here I'll love you forever :)
 I was also pointed towards a jumper in Tesco with my face on it by Tabitha today! It was really strange to see but kind of cool at the same time. SO If you want to get your hands on a really trendy Nicola Claire (kids) jumper you can purchase one here.

Happy Monday.
