hello beautifuls!

well the first week of 2014 has been a funny old one! So much as happened but i'm so happy to be taking some time off this weekend and visiting my lovely friend back 'home' - still don't think of this place as my home..

I've wanted a head piece like this for sooo long, but never bought one just because i thought i would never wear it, but some of my favourite bloggers have inspired me to just do it and fuck what people think and i love it! Still working out 'literally' how to wear it because i don't wear my hair in a middle parting (makes me look like a man...) it sits oddly on my fringe, but i will figure it out! ;)

At the moment i can't stop putting a ton of pressure on myself about what i what to be doing with my life, everyone says 'oh you're young you've got plenty of time' and i do believe thats true but also i'm in my 20's now and i really want to be pursuing something i love! Well following on from that, me taking a step back from my fashion studies has seemed to clarify how much i love it and want to carry on - it's like they say 'you don't know what you have till it's gone' Luckily it hasn't gone...i've just strayed a little

This fur gilet is one of the best £15 i've spent! I've been looking for a decent one for not to much for so long and finally just took the risk with ordering from china on Ebay! It is literally perfect - i do worry about sizings because they tend to be soooo small but this is perfect and even manages to fit over the boobies! YAY!

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...)

It's so strange being in a new place, i was at my old house for so long it feels strange to be able to walk 2 minutes and be in a town with people bustling around! As much as i miss my old house i feel grateful for a fresh start!

This outfit was from a couple of days ago, it's pretty casual as i was just milling around town to get used to whats there, i just added my DIY kimono for a little bit of protection from the cool winds. I do love these autumn days were the sun is still shining but the air is crisp and fresh!

As for my progress with healthy clean eating, i popped into Tesco to see the range of organic products (SO EXPENSIVE) i ended up just getting a bunch of gluten free products to start stocking up to help when i get peckish (keep me away from chocolate) and i'm hoping to start my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred! Wish me luck!

Nothing screams autumn like a smidge of tartan! I'll be honest with you though i never used to be a massive fan, it always just reminded me of school, but as pieces are coming out for autumn/winter, i've been warming up to it loads more! I think my problem with it was before, tartan pieces only came in very traditional silhouettes, like pleated skirts and long scarfs but i'm loving the pieces that i've been seeing around in the last couple of weeks like the long tartan cardigans from UO, which look amazing with grunge/tough styling, i also really love it when the designers have played around with the tartan print to give it a new lease of life!

Health Log!

I hope you guys reading this don't mind me adding this on or if anyone really cares, but i'm hoping having it written all over my blog, it will really kick me up the butt and help me with starting to eat clean and starting to work out again! So i thought i would log what i'm doing about it and what i'm eating and exercises i'm doing to help me tone up and get healthy!

Day 1: Going for a run later, and I'm going to take some 'before' pictures tonight so i can see where i want to focus my exercises on (oh dear god) and hopefully they'll motivate me (i have no willpower...)
