I underestimated how bloody hard it would be to have a full time job and blog!! As i can only do my outfit posts outside it all depends on what the weather decides to do on that one day off! Today i literally got ready for my day and checked BBC weather for the one dry spot for the day and grabbed my tripod and FLEW outside the minute it stopped raining (for a few seconds) So i hope that explains the lack of posts!

At the moment i'm wearing a lot of dark colours which i tend to do when the weather gets colder, so i'm loving playing with mixing texture and prints, so on my trips to the charity shops i've been looking out mostly for different textures and prints!

Hello my Beautys! <3

I am so tired i can hardly stay awake, people at work tease me for not being able to hack the hard work but literally my body got so used to lying in and having no job or uni (and lot's of food...) that it's taking a long time to get back into a routine! I am definitely getting more used to this whole full time thing, but i'm not quite there yet!

zzzzzz...

I've been thinking this week how much blogging has brought me out of my shell (style wise) I've always been very headstrong about what i like and what i don't like but to be honest for years i would keep the things i lusted after under wraps and wouldn't even bother trying things out because i just thought i would look shit or that people would laugh, so i would just buy what people i knew were buying! I wouldn't have thought taking pictures of myself in my outfits would be the thing to make me say 'sod em' to all the close minded people that live in this world, but it is definitely making a difference and i love it <3

(ps. i do own an iron. What i lack is the enthusiasm to use it...)

These past few days have been really difficult, me and the family have been culling all our stuff down to the sentimental and important things to take with us. Maybe it's looking through all the memories, i'm not really sure but i've been on edge. I feel really fragile at the moment and I've been spending some days not even leaving the comfort of my duvet (which when you are moving in a week or so, isn't the best idea when your room is an explosion of clothes to sort through)

I think because i went through a big period of no panic attacks at all, now that things are difficult they've started coming back at times when i would least expect it. I'm doing my best to keep them at bay, but i swear every time they come back they take a slightly different form and it makes it harder to handle! Hopefully it will all fall into place soon! But any-who life goes on!! Plodding on through...

I got this kimono from TKMAXX a couple of days ago and i really love it! I'm loving 'ethnic' style prints at the moment so this piece was a perfect fit! As for the fishnet shorts, they are a lifesaver really, they help so much with popping under garments to help cover you up a bit more, and i think they had some edge to an outfit which i luuurve <3

Oh my beautiful Coltrane dupes! I love them so much! (excuse my pasty legs!!) I can already tell these are going to be my a/w boots for sure! Imagining thick tights and little frilly socks!

Much love <3

Hey beautiful people!

I finally got my Minkpink elephant dress dupe in the post and it couldn't have come at a better time, been feeling really blue these past few days, so many things are happening at once (at home) and i think the stress is kind of draining me, so this little beauty cheered me up a little! It's still pretty humid so i tucked the 'cut-out' sleeved in the arm hole to make it a sleeveless dress so it took that extra fabric away that you really don't want when it's hot!

ELEPHANT LOVE <3

I hope you're all having a lovely day!
