CATCH UP

Since last posting, alot has happened. Education wise, I started and completed a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Newcastle College, selected Fashion as a specialism and finished with a Distinction. YEYYYY! This was the most challenging course I've done, way harder than A levels in my opinion and took up lots of time and effort so I was beyond shocked but so pleased when I got my final grade.

During the course I applied to 5 different universities to study Fashion Design and after receiving 4 offers and alot of deliberation I finally decided on Leeds College of Art. I loved the friendly vibe of the college, Leeds as a city is amaaaazing, and the course content really appealed to me.

Which brings me to now, I am currently living in student accommodation in Leeds after moving here 2 weeks ago. Its been a pretty hectic fortnight but I'm settling in well. My halls are nice, I've met some lovely people and I'm in love with Leeds as a place and hopefully as time goes on I'll figure out who I really click with cos if I'm honest I've only found a few so far. But everyone has said that'll come with time, and I agree. Its so hard to become instantly close with strangers in such an intense environment.

So yeah, that's you all caught up I think. Lots of other personal shit has gone down ha but that's all done now and really not worth talking about, everything happens for a reason has become my motto though for sure. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into my course and I'm so happy to be somewhere new and exciting as opposed to being bored at home.

Anywayyyy, long catch up over, here's an outfit I wore the other day to uni, I'm really liking crazy patterned shirts at the minute. I predict buying quite a few over the next few weeks.

Shirt - Vintage 

Necklace - Primark 

Jeans - Topshop 

Shoes - River Island 

Bag - Vintage

YO

Okay so I've decided to return to blogging after a brief lengthy hiatus. Mainly because now I'm at uni, I have found myself with alot more time on my hands than normal and all the stressful stuff that stopped me blogging before e.g A levels a and foundation are now done. Also, with me starting a BA hons in Fashion Design I reckon a blog's gunna come in handy at some point and will be beneficial to my studies.
You'll have to bear with me cos blogger has changed quiteee alot since I disappeared so I'm kinda starting from scratch. I'm planning on totally changing the appearance of the blog, its veryyy dated now but that's gunna take time too. Also, I've stupidly left my camera lead at home so it'll be phone photos for a little while.
So yeah, basically just giving those few readers I have a heads up that I'm back, hopefully for good. x

Holiday, oh holiday, best one of the year

Was planning on doing a style snoop on Sunday but I got a little sidetracked with the lovely weather and sat in the garden all day reading various magazines. We had a BBQ, twas very nice and I got a little, okay, very sunburnt.

Also, you may or may not know that I'm finally going on holiday tomorrow. 1 DAY! I'm off to Rhodes with a bunch of friends and I cannot wait. So I've also been spending time gathering together all my things ready to pack. This explains that lack of outfit posts as all my decent clothes are washed, ironed and ready to be packed. No, I still haven't packed yet. Woops. We have a kinda early start as we have to be at the airport for 8am so I'm trying to get everything prepared today.

First thing on the agenda was painting my nails and I thought I might aswell try something different, well, different for me anyway. I used Barry M 'Blue Moon' for the base colour then added a stripe of Nails Inc, Floral Street on top which I outlined with the Black Models Own Wah Nails nail art pen. I'll probably end up changing them a few times on holiday anyway as I'm taking a canny few polishes and I tend to get bored easily.

Anyway, I'll be back in a week with hopefully; 1.)lots of outfit posts from the hols, maybe even some from a few new faces,and 2.) a tan! Ciao x

Elbow patches and mismatched nails

Last night was fun, I did end up slightly sick, probably due to the fact I haven't eaten much so I'm still recovering today. Nothing much going on today, I'm just in the house doing odd jobs so I've gone for a comfy slouchy outfit. I bought the jumper a few weeks back and although I love it, I haven't worn it much because of its weird length which makes choosing what to wear with it hard. However, it so comfy and I do love elbow patches. The top/dress underneath is kinda fancy but with the jumper on top I think the length is perfect for daytime with leggings. The jewellery as always is from Asda, how cute is the owl locket? The nails are Nails Inc Jermyn Street and Marylebone High Street.

Jumper: H&M Top: Topshop Leggings: H&M

Ring and Necklace: Asda Nails: Jermyn St and Marylebone High St, Nails Inc

Pre-holiday purchases and What I Wore

Went to Newcastle on Monday and got most of the last minute things I need for my hols. Finally managed to find a hat that fits my big head,(granted it is a very big hat, kinda a boater style.) Also got some sandals, jeans and the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser. Its supposed to be pretty good for clearing up skin I thought I'd give it a try. Also went to Durham today and bought some floral wide leg trousers.

Boater, Sandals and Trousers - All New Look

What I wore today: Floral shirt - Topshop, Leggings: H&M

There might just be a more decent outfit post tomorrow, as I am off out in the evening. x

#009

Fearne Cotton - She's all over our screens this week thanks to the BBC's Glastonbury coverage and is for sure one of the many celebrities that have that 'festival look' down to a T. The DJ and TV presenter has a grunge/rock chick style by day with skinny jeans a staple but she definitely glams it up for the red carpet. Eeeeh and I remember the days when she used to have pink hair and present 'Fingertips'(which btw I secretly loved.)











Also, I've updated my playlist. These are the songs I'm listening to over and over again. x

Back, again!

Apologies for the very long break in blogging. Due to a number of reasons, mainly textiles coursework and exams, which are now thankfully both done with, I've kinda pushed blogging to the back of my mind. I've still been reading my fave blogs regularly though and now, seen as the boring stuff is done and I have a summer of nothingness, hopefully I'll be a more consistent blogger.

My exams went okay, textiles was pretty hard thanks to the teachers actually not teaching us any theory this year and the rest weren't too bad. I've already totally forgotten about them and spending my time getting prepared and ridiculously excited for our girls holiday which is less than two weeks away. I'm off shopping in Newcastle on Monday to buy last minute things for said holiday, and then meeting up with everyone on Thursday for a few end of exam drinks at a friends house.

Here's what I wore today to work. Just a basic outfit really but I thought one was necessary considering the absence.

Top:Topshop Trousers:New Look Chain:Primark Belt:New Look Shoes:River Island


Rings: Asda of course! Nails: Barry M in 'Mint Green' and Models Own Nail art pen

Favourite song at the moment - Calvin Harris ft Kelis - Bounce. Great summer song and the guy on the video's pretty fit, not calvin harris, t'other one. Hope everyone's exams have gone well! There all finished now arent they? Anyway, even if they haven't all gone to plan(like mine) who cares, just enjoy the summer! x
