They Say We Should Love Who We Trust.






-Le Party outfit: Dress-Topshop, Belt-Zara, Shoes-JonesTheBootMaker
-Random dances
-Balloons, No party is right without them?
-Some darn cool people/our holiday group
-Candles, Sparklers & Cake, Oh my!


A few photos from le party on Saturday! I had a great day/night with some lovely people, cake and presents, what could possibly be better?
I believe I watched/participated in some rather questionable dances, drank a wee little too much, and laughed aloot. Also attempted at DJing, meaning pressing buttons at random times, causing someone to come and ask why the music kept skipping. I blame the drink. And hope I'd actually do a better job as it is pretty fun!

I actually forgot to take my camera out in the day, to the vintage fair and Leeds, but it was pretty great, and I came away with quite a few purchases making me very happy. I shall post photos of them soon, along with some of my lovely presents most likely. Maybe even a video post? Who knows. I shall have to pluck up some courage and time from somewhere first though.

For now, g'day; I shall try to post again soon/get back to comments etc, but two weeks till the holidays and life is pretty darn busy!

Just a quick post today, as I am about to dash off to Leeds, Vintage/Record fairs awaiting/it is my 18th birthday! I am far too excited for words, like a child at Christmas probably.
Me and my friend Philippa (also her birthday today,) are having a party tonight, so shall hopefully see lots of lovely people and listen to friend Andys DJing all night.

This is what I wore last night anyhoo, me and the fam/family friends etc went for a lovely birthday meal, and I got slightly very embarrassed when I was presented with chocolate cake, a candle and a singing restaurant. I have been eyeing sheer maxi skirts since ages, so I was delighted when I eventually snapped this up, although you cannae see too good on these photos..

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

To Love Or To Not.








-Via WeHeartIt.


Animal print.
I have always been on edge in this particular battle. Although I can say with some meaning that I love it in these images. Leopard print has always seemed to question my taste when shopping, despite the fact that I now wear my leopard kimono thing like there's no tomorrow; proof my opinions are definitely shifting.
I find smaller flashes of print uplift an outfit more than the whole way, and I particularly love the cross on the back of the cardi above. I may even DIY. Watch this space.
Except snakeskin/print is this seasons animal du jour.
I actually recently acquired a skinny snakeskin belt; not a huge nod towards the animal print, but a nod non the less. I'm sure it shall crop up sometime soon.


I am feeling quite a lot better now, thanks for any comments before; I'm sure I shall be on fine form for my birthday. Expect photos and hopefully a new outfit! The dress I had ordered decided not to fit properly. But, all is not lost; me and friends are a-shopping in Leeds on Saturday-day, and a vintage fair happening at the same time is almost like fate.
I cannot wait!
I feel as if my lack of energy/social/chatty-ness from the whole week is about to explode.

Via- WeHeartIt.


A quick update due to lack of blogging etc.
I have spent the last few days off college, lounging around in my favourite jumpers and such, sleeping most of the days, drinking several cups of tea and watching favourite films like 500 days of summer.
The perfect way to relax and pass a few days one would think? Except illness and headaches added in the mix makes it a wee bit less than lovely.

Anyhoo, I am determined to be better by Saturday, as it is my birthday!

For now though, fruit tea and Sex and the City and more sleep;

G'day

Sheer, Stripes & Dream Catchers.

A quick Sunday post, as I feel slightly sleep deprived, especially as time has gone forward again; plus side, a sure sign of summer coming.
I have been out galavanting(?) pretty much all weekend, a girls night Friday, an 18th yesterday, a work day and college work times, busy but all together okay.

This is actually an outfit I wore last Friday-day, and apologies for the slightly worse for wear photos, I believe I was rushing around or something or other; but anyhoo, who can't love a sheer blouse/shirt? I believe I have a slight addiction/growing collection, but I not biased...


I also have a few new buys to share, at a wee later date; I had my hair chop last week, and my tradition always is to have a good look around the charity shops in the area. There's lots, so I came away with some lovely purchases:)

I also have a growing want of a dream catcher; and a dream catcher form of jewellery. I think they're pretty darn cool.

Born Free.














-Via FashionGoneRogue
"Born Free –  Bambi Northwood-Blyth plays a free spirit as she takes to the homes and roads of Palm Spring, California for the latest 10 Magazine. Lensed by Tierney Gearon and with set design by Frank 'Reps' Kadu Lennox, Bambi dons the relaxed stylings of fashion editor Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou for a wardrobe boasting of labels such as Burberry Prorsum, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana."

For my recent bad blogging/posting-ness, I completely apologise; I'm not aboot to bore you all with excuses etc; it's just been a wee hectic lately, work/interviews/last minute applications etc wise.
On the bright side, it's my birthday next week, 18 alas!
I think me and Philippa are going on a driving adventure to Huddersfield tomorrow, to buy decor etc, which makes things even more exciting!

I found this shoot when looking through FashionGoneRogue earlier, and thought I'd share. I really love the sort of 'grunge/glam' relaxed atmosphere in it. And the outfits of course. There's also an almost sense of freedom; on the open road, a motorbike etc, which I love. And I completely love that sense of freedom. This week being the first after finally passing my driving, I have been to college and back each day (except Wednesdays; me and mama have some sort of car-rota-type-thing?) listening intently to the likes of The XX, The Strokes and the 500 days of summer soundtrack; even better when it's actually sunny out!

Happy days; and thanks to all comments/followers, I'll be a-jumping back on the bandwagon soon enough!

Celebrations, Catch-ups And Egg Fried Rice.

This is a little bit of a weekend catch-up post really.
Saturday night, in celebration of my passing of driving test, or some excuse as such, we went to meet Andy after he finished work, eat Chinese food and then to a Chinese bar(?) for cocktails etc.
It turned out to be quite a nice night really, and I wore a new blouse recently purchased. I absolutely love it, yet you cannae really tell in these photos, so maybe next time.

Yesterday I 'hit the road' to Tesco, as you do. I came away with cheesecake ingredients, reading material for the next couple of weeks, in the form of Vogue and Company, a new bikini (I seriously cannot wait for summer now) and a pair of tights, in the sale! I was a little happy it has to be said.
Also an apparent indulge of zigzag patterns is taking over me at the moment.


Now I'm making a shoe? I have to do an entry project for an interview this week, although I'm not sure how well it shall turn out; I may post the outcome if it works somehow.


Ps- It's sunny! Happy days:)
