Orange and Blue

It seems like it has been forever since I've blogged (I cant believe its almost been a month!) and I've completely fallen off the blog radar. I had no idea uni work could take over my life so much but unfortunately it has. With my deadline looming and a new job starting soon after, I've literally had no time to think of anything else. Let alone get time to go out and blog. However, I gave myself a much needed break earlier today and enjoy the lush weather we've been having recently - bring on summer! 

Ive been wearing jeans a lot more recently which is very different compared to my trusty leggings I wear every day. I find it super difficult to find jeans that fit as I'm pretty short, these Dorothy Perkins Petite jeans have been my staple denim for years now and I re-buy them every so many years. I teamed them up with this gorgeous top from Topshop, I absolutely love the colour and the flattering length sleeves. I think its perfect for those spring days. I also wore my amazing Topshop necklace which I picked up not long ago. I really love how it completely finishes off the look of the top and makes it look so summery. Too add height to my little body I wore these beautiful heels from Newlook. I love the chunky heels that make wearing heels a little more bearable. I love the colour combination of orange and blue, I think theres something really modern and fresh about it. I cant wait to wear this outfit more, possibly more with sandals for boots on those cooler days. 

What colour combination do you love at the moment?

January 14

This month has been pretty hectic for me. After working most of the christmas holidays and not getting a lot of time at home, uni started again pretty quickly. I turned 21 at the start of the month which was such a lovely day. I went away for a bit to get away from uni, I felt like I was stuck there for so long! I did some well deserved retail therapy with my birthday money and relaxed. I also got a new phone which I have been loving using. My Instagram photo quality has drastically improved! The later part of January has been filled with finishing my dissertation which has been so tedious and long. Writing isn't my strong point so I struggled a lot with it. thankfully its done and completed which is such a relief. Now its onto my last project for the year then uni is done! 3 more months then I'm off into the big world. Obviously after my holiday to Portugal which is only 115 days away, not that I'm counting down or anything. Its my big motivation for finishing everything.

What have you been doing this month?

My 21st Birthday

Last week I turned 21. I feel so old now but it was so lovely to celebrate my birthday with my family and friend. As I am back at uni, my parents came down to see me so we went for a lovely meal and I ate the best food ever - the chocolate brownie was to die for! After being sufficiently filled up on good food, I went to Clinique to get my face properly done for my night out with my friends. They did such a lovely job and made me feel so special. For my night out I wore my amazing Estrella Bella Boutique that was made for me (you can read my detailed blog post about it here). I loved wearing it and got so many compliments on it. I got spoiled rotten for my birthday and received some lovely presents. A few being my holiday, which I'm so grateful about, some money, to go towards my new gold iPhone 5s, my gorgeous dress and a few vouchers where I picked up an amazing topshop jumpsuit that I cant wait to wear. 

For me now, Its back to doing my uni work, finishing off my dissertation and starting my last project for uni, Its crazy thinking that in 15 weeks I am done with university forever!

Thank you to everyone for making my 21st so special

Feeling fresh, Feeling new

Happy New Year everyone! 

I cant believe its 2014! This year is such a big year for me I actually cant wait for it! Im turning 21, I'm graduating, I'm leaving Southampton to somewhere new (or wherever I can get a job) and I'm going on holiday to Portugal with the boy in Summer.

I thought seeing as its a new year, I would give my blog a little re-vamp. I like doing this every now and again, mainly because I get bored, but I'm learning so many things computery from blogging, I thought I should put it to good use. I really like how it looks at the moment and can see me keeping it for a while.

Excuse the set up at the moment - student accommodation isn't the nicest place to take blog photos.

This outfit is something i've been wearing loads since I got this jumper for Christmas. I already have this jumper in pink so asked for this colour to go with my collection (anyone else do that?) I absolutely adore this tiffany mint blue colour and think it looks so good with my jeans, which I need to wear more. I have been wearing my new Zara scarf with everything even if it doesn't match, lucky it matches really nicely with this jumper and jeans combo. I also tried it on with this statement necklace from Newlook. The jewels are slightly iridescent which matches the jumper perfectly.  I think it makes this outfit slightly smarter than my massive zara scarf. 

I cant wait to wear this outfit more and hopefully without a coat on when the weather gets a bit warmer! 

Did you get anything for Christmas that you cant stop wearing?

Leather and Studs

| Dress Miss Luxe £12.99* | Shoes Newlook £25 |

Being in my final year of uni means a lot of work and not much social life. However it has been really nice making time for leaving the house and having fun with my friends. I wore this dress on a night out a few days ago and I really love it. I love a classic LBD but this dress has a few added extras. I've been too scared of embracing the leather trend this season however this dress has really cute leather shoulders with studs on it which add a nice edge to the dress. I also love the cut out at the back, its really flattering. I love the simplicity of it. it will definitely be worn more over the next few months. 

Make sure you check out Miss Luxe on their Site, Twitter and Facebook

Have you got a perfect LBD yet? 

Back at Uni

Every time I go back to uni I forget to do normal things and it seems to get me ages to get back into the swing of things. I guess I have had a really long summer and been doing lots of things. As this year is my final year of uni, the stress of work has been instant and I have deadlines before Christmas. 

Since moving back to uni, I have moved  into my new house, gone out for freshers events, eaten lots of food and attempted to start uni work. 

What i've been loving recently

Tootis Gelato Bar - If you live in Southampton area, you have to go 

Curly hair - Even though my hair never stays that way

Burgundy Dress - I really am loving burgundy for this season

My new room - My room is so pink it apparently hurts peoples eyes

Autumn clothes - Ive bought out the Uggs and jumpers again

False nails - Especially my Ted Baker ones (link)

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. As you might know, I have moved into my new house for the last year of uni. It took hours to make it tidy and organised as I just had so many boxes and suitcases shoved on my bed. It was a daunting task, but I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. I know its very pink but I think as this is my only private space, I might as well make it my own and how I want it - And I like pink and pretty things. I really love my mirror. I bought it plain wood but painted it pink and made it sparkly. I think it adds a bit of personality to my space. 

FOUND IT

Molly King for me is such a fashion icon. I have always loved her style and how how effortless and stylish she looks. Below are a couple of pieces she has worn. I know the handbag is pretty pricey but the playsuit and dungarees are from high street stores which I think is pretty cool. I wish I could strut around in shorts all the time like she does! 

| Playsuit Love £34 | Dungarees Topshop £38 | Handbag Aspinal of London £495 |

Sorry this is a pretty short post but uni work calls and summer is fast approaching, which means I need to crack on with work. Here is a picture from my uni work I have been doing. Its a shoot for Elle magazine inspired by 60's art. Im really pleased with how its all going at the moment and sort of on top of my work. (I say this now but know i'll be super stressed the day before deadlines!)

Hope you all have a lovely week

HOME OOTD

| Top Primark £6 | Shoes Topshop £15 | Bag Social Discount Network £19 | Umbrella Primark £2 |

This weekend I went home to see my Mum and have a chilled out weekend. Its so nice to be able to go home and not think about everything I normally have to at uni. I didn't really do much apart from a shopping trip and eating good food with my family. I wore this outfit to town (with a coat on). I really like the simplicity of the outfit and the pop of colour in the bag. I had to show you my umbrella because the print matches my shoes and I love the frills around the edge! 

Im back at uni for a week then off again for Easter.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend

p.s Thank you mum for taking my picture!

FEBRUARY IN PHOTOS

As you've probably guessed from my lack of posts, I haven't had much time to blog as much as I've liked. I haven't really had much time to do anything recently. I feel February has gone by too fast. I have deadlines before easter and after so I'm going to have to get my head down probably for the next month too. I am planning on taking a few OOTD next week and hoping to have a studio session for my Uni course the week after. Heres what i've been getting up to anyways -

WEEK IN PHOTOS

These past few weeks I have been knuckling down on my uni work. I am aiming to give myself plenty of time finish my sketch book and complete my photo shoot so I have loads of time to retouch them. I am also doing a very exciting photo shoot for my blog on friday which will be up next week after I finish retouching them. I promise I will start back with a better routine for my blog but obviously uni makes it hard to have free time.
